skullhongki:
Jaejin starts talking, about to use a cute nickname before he stops himself and switches to honorifics. It has him confused. Lately he hasn’t been using them as often with him, keeping them for when they were in public or around other people. His ears twitch, head slightly tilting as he listens to what he has to say. His heart drops to his stomach, so quickly he finds himself unable to breathe, mouth falling open to take a few short breathes. He should have known it was going to be something like this, but he didn’t think it’d be that. He didn’t think Jaejin would ever tell him he didn’t like him or think about him in that way, not after everything they have done together. Club music resounds in his ears. Something pricks at his eyes. Instinct, there he was going on and throwing around that word as if it would make this entire situation better. It only made it worse. While Lee Hongki was sitting there falling helplessly in love, Leen Jaejin was feeling absolutely fucking nothing. He felt nothing yet he continued to play around with his feelings, even going as far to tell him he l— “I hate you.” It comes out with a shaking voice but the amount of pure venom in his voice was chilling. All the cute positive feelings he had felt towards him, the want to be close and pressed against him became nothing but the want to scream at him, smack him across the face and never see him again. Ears brush backwards, pressing against the back of his head as his gaze drops down. “All the time you were just using me. Isn’t that it?” Club music gets louder, making the feeling pricking at his eyes finally break free down his face. Next thing he knew he’s crying. “You continued to fuck me, hold me close to you in your arms, and say such sweet things to me all because you just wanted my fucking body. All because of your stupid fucking instincts.” A pause, bitter laugh slipping free from him as he pulls himself away, nearly stumbling off the bed. He picks his gaze up, staring at him as if he was no longer staring at someone he loved. “Hah, man wasn’t I stupid…for believing you in that stupid fucking club when you were just lying to me. That’s what you are…a fucking lying player piece of shit who played me like he plays his bass.”
I hate you. Those three words hit him like a thousand knives, one after the other stabbing his heart. He knew he’d be upset, he knew this would hurt him, but he didn’t expect for it to be this bad. But it was this bad, it was so bad, and it only seemed to get worse as more cold harsh words are thrown at him. The older’s gaze finds his own and suddenly he feels so small. His eyes weren’t full of their usual warmth and light, no, they were unfeeling and empty. Those were the eyes of someone who had just been told he’d been played with, used, and then discarded.
His eyes widen at his words. He did remember what happened the other night. Fuck. No, no, he wasn’t supposed to remember that. He wasn’t supposed to remember him saying that he loved him, it… he was just comforting him, he just wanted him to calm down.. right? That’s all it was right? It wouldn’t make sense for him to have fallen for his best friend and band mate of over 10 years, it just wouldn’t. But Hongki did remember and he had believed him. What was he supposed to do? What could he even say to make any of this better? His hand reaches out towards him but quickly retreats, falling back lifelessly at his side. He shouldn’t touch him, he was upset, angry with him.
“N-No Hongki that’s not-” He stops furrowing his brow, attempting to wrack his brain for anything he could possibly say. “Y-You know I’m not-” No. “What I did was-” No no no. Jaejin you fucking idiot think of something. “I never meant to hurt you Hongki. Please just.. let me explain. We can talk about this. Please.” He begs, eyes pleading with him to not walk away to not just leave. He should, he had every right to just walk away and leave him there, but he didn’t want things to end like this. He never meant for this to happen. He never meant to hurt him. But in the end he had played with him and this was the outcome.
We can talk about this. No. There was no talking about this. It was over. He was done with him, no longer wanting to stand here with him or talk to him unless he absolutely had to. His eyes narrow on him, ears pressing further as his fur starts standing on end. Tears blurred his vision, eyes unable to focus on anything anymore besides the stabbing pain in his chest. “Fuck you! How dare you fucking say you didn’t mean to hurt me. Especially after telling me you loved me only to take it back! You never cared Jaejin! You just wanted sex and I gave you it, so fucking much of it. Wasted almost 2 years of my fucking time with you only to be burned by the affection I gave you.” It really has been that long, hasn’t it? It’s almost been 2 years since he had brought the collar to him as a joke, showing it off to him and teasing him only for it to become so much more. He used to think back on that moment fondly, using it as the moment he realized that he wanted him more than he could ever possibly imagine. It hurts. It hurts so fucking bad. It hurts even more that it was someone he’s known for 11 years saying this to him. His eyes close tightly, quiet sob coming out of him as his shoulders shake. “You used me. You lied to me. You played me. I never want to hear words from you ever again because no matter what you say to me I will NEVER believe it.” No. He was done with Lee Jaejin. He tears his gaze away from him, vision blurring so bad that he struggles to see the door. He immediately moves towards it, wanting nothing more to do here. “Don’t ever say my name again unless we’re on stage to keep up appearances. I don’t even fucking want to hear ‘hyung’ from you again but you have to call me that so others don’t get suspicious. Goodnight Jaejin. I hope you sleep well never having to deal with my pathetic needy ass again.” He moves a hand to his face, finally letting out a strangled cry before he disappears from the room. His hand shoves itself into his pockets, pulling out of keys before he grabs a specific one with a little dog attached to it and rips it off with a scream of pain. He slams it down on his coffee table and leaves the house to go home and lock himself away.
