good-bye.

( a few hours earlier )

beomgyu looked at his phone, confused. taehyun had already left for school because beomgyu told him he had some work.

frowning, he quickly changed his clothes and made his way to the entertainment building where he was called over.

"oh beomgyu, what brings you here at this hour?" asked the receptionist, already familiar with beomgyu.

"hmm, i got a call saying i need to go the ceo's office. i've only been to yeonjun's office and taehyun's practice studios, so i have no idea where to go."

"is that so? well, go the 5th floor, it's on right and it says CEO," said the receptionist.

"thank you." said beomgyu, bowing down and making his to the elevator.

following the instructions given by the receptionist, beomgyu made it to the CEO's office.

beomgyu brought his hand up to knock and froze. for some reason, he had a bad feeling about this. why was he being called to the office now?

taking a deep breath, beomgyu knocked on the door and the female voice said, "come in."

opening the door, beomgyu bowed down as he walked inside the office where the CEO sat, behind her desk.

"hello." said beomgyu, bowing down again.

"whatever." she said. "let's come to matters of concern. we don't need you anymore. you're fired."

beomgyu's eyes widened as his heart dropped. "what?"

"you heard me. you're fired. to be honest, i don't even know why you were hired in the first place. bodyguard, my ass. you look like you can't even defend yourself against chickens."

"excuse me?"

the said woman rolled her eyes. "of course, it was yeonjun's plan to simply waste the company money by paying you. he never did his work properly."

"yeonjun hyung spent hours in his office working and you say he never did his work properly." said beomgyu in disbelief.

"how dare you talk back to me?" said the woman.

beomgyu rolled his eyes. "you're going to fire me anyways, why do i have to care? you expected me to kiss your ass and beg you not to fire me?"

"you—get out. if i ever see you near taehyun, i swear to god i will make sure you and your family will suffer. you have an ill dad right? watch out and don't go near taehyun. gosh, such a nuisance. taehyun is perfectly fine. why did he even need someone like you in the first place?"

beomgyu looked at her in disgust. does she have any idea what taehyun is like? does she even know that taehyun used to get bullied in school? does she know that taehyun, despite being underage, has a habit of excessive drinking? does she know that taehyun's biggest problem is that he's lonely?

"i'll pay whatever money you have due, so get out."

wordlessly, beomgyu walked out of the office with a hole in his chest. he had been fired. removed from the job.

he had no excuse nor reason to meet taehyun.

beomgyu walked inside the lift, his eyes watering. why did he feel like crying? he was only removed from the job. surely, he could get other jobs and continue his life like before. but then why, just why, did he feel like crying?

------------------------------------------------------------------

beomgyu walked inside the empty house. it was so quiet and there was almost an eerie silence in the air if it weren't for the cars outside.

he looked around, his heart aching.

would he really not get to see taehyun anymore? he didn't even get to tell taehyun that he loved him...was this really the end?

soullessly, beomgyu walked up the stairs to his room and started packing his things.

taehyun. his mind was focused only on taehyun.

if beomgyu left, would taehyun even miss him? what did beomgyu mean to taehyun? how much did beomgyu matter to him?

finally, he was done packing and picked up his bag.

he walked down the stairs and to the entrance.

it had only been some months since he first walked into the house only to see taehyun calling him a pervert.

beomgyu laughed, but it had no life. he could feel a lump in his throat. he didn't want to do this. he really didn't want to do this, but he had to.

goodbye, taehyun.

----------------------------------------------------------------

( present )

taehyun slumped down on the ground, his heart empty. tears filled up his eyes as he felt a huge lump in his throat.

he wasn't going to cry. beomgyu left him so he shouldn't waste him tears on him. he shouldn't cry.

but how could he not cry? he fell in love with beomgyu. he genuinely thought the both of them could be something. he genuinely thought that there was chance that beomgyu liked him as well.

if beomgyu liked him, he wouldn't leave like this, right? he would've at least told him that he was leaving and why he had to leave?

tears fell down from his eyes and he felt someone hug him from behind. the warmth of that person made taehyun burst into tears and his loud sobs could be heard throughout the house.

kai looked at taehyun, his eyes soft. he had never seen taehyun like this and this just showed how much beomgyu meant to taehyun.

kai felt angry. how could beomgyu just leave taehyun like that? he should've at least given taehyun a word, an explanation, something?

"it's fine taehyun. everything will be fine."

"do you think he'll come back?" asked taehyun, his eyes glistening.

kai wanted to say 'no' because that's what he thought but seeing the hope and despair in taehyun's eyes he couldn't directly bring himself to say no.

"wait for some time...if he doesn't come back, forget about him, okay?"

taehyun looked at kai. forget about beomgyu...was that possible? but maybe that was the best thing to do.

he looked at kai and nodded. "i'll try."

-------------------------------------------------------------------

beomgyu rang the doorbell and waited. after around 3 seconds, someone opened the door.

beomgyu's eyes widened. "yeonjun?"

"beomgyu?"
