Time || YeonGyu AU✔

chapter 37

          Dark torrents of the sky had taken roots deeply in the ground as the car moved on the straight road through the forest, two silent males sitting in a deadly silence inside beside each other. Beomgyu wasn't even daring to say anything since he could feel irritation radiating through the older's body next to him and it was even visible in his eyes which were sharply fixed on the road through the windshield. However, their travel didn't last long since soon the car came to a sudden halt and even moved off the road slightly as a loud blasting sound could be heard through the windows, causing both males to get alarmed instantly.

          "Fuck", Yeonjun cursed angrily under his breath as turned off the engine and pushed the door open before storming outside, causing concern to rise in Beomgyu's body too, because the last time they had to stop in the forests like that, there was nothing good waiting ahead of him outside.

          He exited the car too after opening the door and saw the yellow-haired male taking a look at the vehicle, discovering that one wheel was no longer in its place and it was dropped on the ground several feet away instead. "Fucking shit!", Yeonjun cursed in annoyance again and hit the car with his fist so hard that his knuckles felt like they cracked.

          "Hey, calm down", Beomgyu called while Yeonjun leaned against the window of the passenger's seat with his palm and hung his head as he breathed heavily and tried to somehow endure the pain which was sucking the air from his mouth. "You don't need to panic like that", the younger added as he ran to the steering wheel and bent down to it to check the object, groaning heavily when he noticed that it was blasted as they both expected.

          "It's no longer useful", he said in dissatisfaction and hoped Yeonjun wouldn't get angrier since he had no idea how to cope with his anger even though he had to face it really many times.

          He looked up at the male who was still leaning against the car and had closed his eyes, causing the younger to worry since he was afraid something would happen to him again if Yeonjun kept panicking like that, "Are you okay?", he asked as he straightened his body and placed a hand on the older's back, but Yeonjun quickly pushed it away with a growl.

          "Don't touch me", he warned before turning around and arriving at the driver's seat, placing himself inside in an angry manner.

          Beomgyu rolled his eyes as he heaved a deep breath and lazily walked to his seat again, sitting next to Yeonjun and both males gave into an uncomfortable silence as they both stared forward meaninglessly, their hearts beating heavily in their chests, "I really never wanted to hurt you", Beomgyu finally spoke sadly and even his quiet voice sounded so ear-piercing to the male next to him that Yeonjun even tightened his grip around the steering wheel from the pain he felt in his chest, "I am sorry that I had to say something like that to you"

          "I don't believe you", Yeonjun said in a blank, but still visibly hurt tone, "I'm sure Seojun is alive. You're just messing with me"

          Those words made Beomgyu land his gloomy eyes upon the male next to him, his heart aching at realising how much hurt and stressed the boy looked, there was not even a sense of life in his eyes, only a trace of pain in the bucket of emptiness and Beomgyu hated watching that misery in them, "I wish I was", he spoke in guilt, as if he was the one at the fault of Seojun's death, "Because it hurts me to see you in pain"

          Yeonjun chuckled bitterly at that, "You are just a selfish person who is manipulating me right now"

          "I'm not manipulating you", Beomgyu quickly denied even though there was a little crop of truth in Yeonjun's brutal words, "I-if it reduces your pain we can just go back and I'll show you the proof of my words", he said, no longer caring about himself, but Yeonjun quickly shook his head since he wanted to follow their agreement, and he was also scared that Beomgyu's words would turn out right.
