Jongtae- Runaways

Can I get like a JonghyunxTaemin runaway au scenario?Extablished relationship pleaseee?                                        -Anon

They had to run away

They didn’t really have a choice.

It was that, or get separated by their parents.

They had met in highschool and Jonghyun was a grade older than Taemin

They had a couple of classes together and Jonghyun quickly took a liking to Taemin.

It only took a few months for their friendship to hit the thin line between best friends and something more.

Lots of almost kisses in the locker room, or behind the school.

The only thing holding them back was fear of their parents.

Jonghyun’s parents were strongly against homosexuality and refused to let Jonghyun date anyone becuase they new he was gay

He’d told them on his 14th birthday and they’d grounded him and forbid him from dating, threatening to completely disown him if he ever fell for another boy.

Taemin’s parents on the other hand, were very religious and would punish him if they found out, he’d heard their conversations about ‘what if’ when he’d gone through a phase of having long hair. (They made him cut it)

The two boys vented to one another about their struggles and they quickly realized the only thing holding them back was their parents.

They began dating in secret, their only sanctuary being behind closed doors.

They were able to keep the secret for two years until they were outed by a mistake.

During winter break Taemin had gone over to Jonghyun’s while his parents were at work and they held their own little christmas together, unable to spend the actual day together.

Jonghyun’s parents came home early and found discarded gifts laying in the living room and they heard noises from the upstairs

You can guess what happened next.

Taemin and Jonghyun were ripped from each other

Taemin was kicked out of Jonghyun’s house and his parents were called.

Jonghyun was given a choice; Home or Taemin

Taemin was taken home and locked in his room and told to pray for forgiveness

Jonghyun showed up at Taemin’s house in the middle of the night and crawl in through his open window

He found Taemin asleep, clutching a Rosary with dried tears staining his face.

He packed for Taemin, taking the important things and then woke him up.

“Run away with me”

No one in the town has heard from them since.

Taemin’s parents have sent police to look for Taemin and Jonghyun, and are trying to press charges against Jonghyun for kidnapping Taemin

Both Taemin and Jonghyun cut and died their hair to change their appearance a bit and they travel along coastlines, doing what they can to survive together.

When Taemin asked Jonghyun why he didn’t choose his home over him, Jonghyun just hugged him.

“You are my home.”

A/N I hope you enjoyed! I think is this super angsty but cute too! If anyone wants me to write more about this Runaway AU, like maybe Jongtae can meet the Rest of OT% or something, I’m not sure yet. But I really do love thier backstories (I relate to Taemin’s on a very personal level)
