"We take care of each other, yes." People asked? They were snooping already? Oh no. Where did he go wrong? Was it him or Tae that fucked up? Damn it. He was going to have to be more careful. The last thing they needed was to have someone involved. He could take the pain, he could suffer for Tae. He couldn't bear the idea of being split from his TaeTae. It would be like losing his last piece of eomma.

"We always have to keep our special secret. So we tell everyone that appa is amazing and so good to us, we're having the best time with him." Whatever it took. "Don't mention too much that I take care of you always or they'll think appa doesn't. Then we'll be in trouble."
