Innocent (Jaeyong)

None Ones P.O.V

It was a week before Taeyongs performance and he was in utter disarray. Jaehyun had left for a student council trip two days ago so he was very lonely, He hadn't been getting enough sleep, and his dad hadn't visited in a while. His nightmares have been happening again, his hidden fears have come back.

He was getting ready to practice again with Kai. He was tired but he didn't want to fall asleep, his dreams were too scary. Not to mention he hasn't been eating much, his worries made his stomach sick and his head was pounding. He missed Jaehyun, he missed his dad, he's barely been able to operate. He doesn't want to disappoint kai though, he has to practice-even if he feels like he's about to die.

Kai watched the boy closely as he stretched, there were bags under his eyes and he looked thinner. He was worried about his health. He got up and turned off the music.

"Taeyong we're not going to practice today ok?"

"What why not?"

"Yong you can barely stand on your feet, I'm worried about you, have you been sleeping?"

Taeyong couldn't lie, he shook his head no.

"Well, why not bub?"

Taeyong looked away ashamed, he didn't want to tell Kai about his nightmares, he chose to stay silent. Kai got the hint and patted his head.

"How about I drive you home so you can get some sleep?"

"No!" Taeyong grabbed his hand, "I no wanna sleep, It's scary", he pouted.

"Fine, but I'm taking you home".

Taeyong pouted as Kai picked him up, he couldn't walk right now so he got carried to his car. He punched lightly on his back for him to put him down because he was getting sleepy, but after a while, he just gave up.

Kai finally sat Taeyong down to open his front door. Taeyong took this opportunity to dash into his room. He locked the door behind him. He sighed slowly approaching his mirror, he stared at himself in horror. He looked terrible, his face pale, his stomach a bit boney, his eyes looked dead compared to their usual bubbliness. He was embarrassed that Kai saw him like this, what would Jaehyun think. Tears filled his eyes at the thought of Jaehyun.

He grabbed three hoodies that Jaehyun leftover a while ago, he put one of them on and cuddled with the rest on his bed. He missed his voice, his smile, his warm arms wrapped around him. The more he thought about him the more his heart ached.

Kai was greeted by Johnny on his way out.

"Oh, I thought you had practice?" he questioned.

"We did but Taeyong doesn't look too well, is he sick?"

"Kind of".

"What's wrong?"

"Well he's been having nightmares again since my dad came back in town, then Jaehyun left for a school trip and he's been doing really bad. Honestly, I've never seen him like this, he barely eats and stays curled up in his room crying into Jaehyuns shirts instead of sleeping. He threw a massive tantrum the other day when I told him to go outside and play with Haechan. I'm just glad that Jae will be coming back soon".

Kai felt bad for Taeyong, someone so sweet and pure shouldn't be going through something like this. He told Johny to call him if Taeyong doesn't eat again, he'd be sure to be there for the boy.

Taeyong P.O.V

Taeyong woke-up feeling oddly refreshed. He isn't sure when he fell asleep he's just glad he didn't have another nightmare. He was finally feeling good enough to eat. As he walked downstairs he heard his brother talking to someone. He sounded happy.

He turned the corner and saw Jaehyun standing there, he felt like he hadn't seen him in ages, his hair was a bit longer now, and he was wearing a purple sweater.

His legs moved on their own he ran up to him and squeezed the life out of him. He was surprised when he didn't feel Jaehyun hug back right away like he usually does, he looked up at him and tilted his head like a puppy.

"Jaehyunnie ?"

"I've barely been here for two minutes and you're already clinging on me like an annoying dog" he scoffed.

Taeyong was taken aback, Jaehyun had never spoken to him like that before. Maybe he was just tired from his trip, yeah that must be it. Still, the words hurt.

"Sorry Hyunnie" he pulls away.

He settled on taking a seat next to him, when he tried laying his head on his shoulder he moved away. Taeyong wondered why he was so annoyed, he wondered if the trip was that bad.

"Johnny told me you were being bad while I was away," he grabbed his chin, "Look at you-you've gotten all pale and gross." he pulled back roughly, "I heard Kai carried you here today. You like him, don't you? Honestly, Why do I even bother with you?"

"No, Hyunnie, Yongie wasn't bad, I's just missed you so much! An Innie was just nice, I only loves you"

He started to whine, he got into his lap and hugged him tightly, begging him to say that he was joking.

"Ugh get off of me, you're being a pest, and talk normally for once"

Jaehyun pushed him off of him like a bug. He felt nauseous, what was happening?

"What?"

"You're always acting like such a bratty child" he gave him an irritated look making him cry.

"Yeah Taeyong it's time for you to grow up, you think we like taking care of you?" Johnny started, "Every since you started acting like a baby I haven't been able to see my parents!" he yelled, "You think mom and dad still love you, they don't".

"Oh, great he's crying again, you know what I shouldn't have ever come to babysit you" Jaehyun joined in tormenting him.

Taeyong covered his ears as they shouted insult after insult, he didn't like this, he didn't want to be here. These were not his two favorite people. He was sinking further and further into the couch, their voices still clear in his head. He opened his eyes to find he was in darkness.

"Jaehyun! Hyung!" he called out, "Please I don't wanna be alone!"

He felt big slimy hands wrap around his body, he shivered at the voice in his ear.

"I'm here for you, my innocent Yongie," said Kevin.

"Noooooo AHHHHH!!!"

Johnny P.O.V

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

He heard a scream from upstairs. He ran up the stairs, grabbing the extra key to Taeyongs room opening the door.

"STOP! PLEASE, AHHH! I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY"

Taeyong was thrashing around screaming bloody murder. He went to his brother's side, first trying to wake him up but it was hopeless. He rocked him back and forth, trying to get him to calm down. After two hours, he finally stopped screaming but he was still trembling. He didn't even want to think about what his little brother could be going through in his dream, this was his fourth episode this week. Usually, he would call Jaehyun and he would magically calm down, but Jaehyun wasn't back yet and he had to deal with this on his own.

He just wanted Taeyong to be healthy and happy. 

Sorry for the semi-angst; Finals week is soon- I hope you all do well (even if you don't have any) and stay healthy!
