Hidden Artists✔︎ | Taegyu

It's morning now. Beomgyu woke up at 6am, ready for the next school day. If he remembers clearly, the talent show was after prom, meaning he had a ton of time to prepare his and Taehyun's song before actually going up and sing with him.

Quickly, he rushed out of his house and to Taehyun's. His dad was still out looking for him.

He rang the doorbell and Taehyun opens it exactly three seconds later.

"Tyunie! Are you ready?" Beomgyu exclaimed, clinging onto Taehyun's arm like the bear he is.

Taehyun nods exaggeratedly and starts walking down the block, Beomgyu still stayed in his position.

"We're gonna need to get the instruments before actually doing anything" Taehyun said.

"You have my guitar, that's all we need?" Beomgyu says, it coming out like a question.

"Yeah, but we also need other instruments and I can't play any" Taehyun said and placed his head on Beomgyu's shoulder.

"Hmm.. I mean I can also play piano.. I could teach you!" Beomgyu says, a smile made it's way on Taehyun's face.

"Yeah, that'd be nice" he said and they continue down the road to school.

"Stage, check! Mics, check! Instruments, check! Beomgyu, che-! Wait-" the school's student council president stopped in his tracks and smiled seeing Beomgyu enter the auditorium room where the talent show will be held.

"Seungmin! Hii!" Beomgyu greets with a wave. Taehyun waves too.

"Oo~ who's this?" Seungmin asked, gesturing towards Taehyun.

"Hehe, this is my b-boyfriend! Taehyunie.." Beomgyu stutters, getting a bit flustered.

"Hello Taehyun-ah! I'm Seungmin, the school's student council president! Innie! Get over here!!" Seungmin yelled.

Jeongin rushes over. "Hi!" He says. Seungmin chuckles.

"This is my boyfriend, Jeongin. But I call him Innie~" Seungmin says. "He's also student council Vice President"

"Oh! Nice to meet you Jeongin! My name is Beomgyu, but you can call me anything" Beomgyu says.

"Except Gyu!" Taehyun yells, catching the attention of everyone in the room.

"Gyu?! As in the famous singer we saw on the internet? Well, not really seen since they hid their identities.." Seungmin starts blabbing.

'Nice going Tae' Taehyun thought before stepping in front of Seungmin.

"Gyu is the nickname I gave Beomgyu! No one can say it but me.." Taehyun yells once again. Everyone sighs and goes back to their work.

"Tyunie.. my special nickname.." Beomgyu mumbles. Jeongin and Seungmin both heard what Beomgyu said.

"Wait, don't tell me you two are Tyun and Gyu?" Jeongin whispers. Beomgyu and Taehyun keep their lips in a straight line, not saying a word.

"Yup, you two definitely are. You know when you sing in the talent show your identities will be revealed, right?" Seungmin questions, which the other two nod.

"We were gonna show our identities once our group account reached five million.. but it went up too quickly" Taehyun chuckles.

"Yup, so I guess the talent show would be a good idea.. right?" Beomgyu unsurely says.

Seungmin smiles "don't worry, you two will be fine" he says.

Taehyun and Beomgyu breathes out the breath they were holding. They now felt sure they were gonna win, after their friends, including Soobin, Yeonjun, and Huening Kai gave them all the compliments they needed.

"We got this" Beomgyu and Taehyun say, smiling at each other and looking eye to eye.

Just like Beomgyu said earlier, he's teaching Taehyun how to play the piano. Taehyun's a very fast learner, so when Beomgyu taught him the notes of the keys, Tawhyun got it straight away.

They were half way into the song before someone had to interrupt.

"Choi Beomgyu, please come to the office. Choi Beomgyi, will you please come to the office" The speaker person said into the speaker. Beomgyu looked over at Taehyun and he nods, telling him it's ok to go.

Beomgyu stood up and walked to the door. He stopped and looks back at Taehyun, gesturing to come with him. Without hesitation, Taehyun runs towards him with a big smile on his face.

They walk to the principal's office and stop when they see who's inside from the window.

Beomgyu's dad.

"U-uh.. what am I g-gonna do Tyunie.. th-that's my d-dad!" Beomgyu exclaims, clinging onto Taehyun like his life depended on it.

Taehyun's eyes widen. He then displayed a calm feature on his face and opened the office door, walking inside.

Beomgyu starts freaking out but follows Taehyun.

"Oh? Mr. Kang welcome. You weren't supposed to be here though" The principal stated. Taehyun nods.

"Sorry to intrude.. but I'm here to accompany my friend, Beomgyu" Taehyun replies in a calm manner.

Beomgyu frowns and clings tighter to Taehyun. "May I ask what my dad is doing here?" Beomgyu asks.

"Your dad reported to me that you have ran away from home, is that true?" The principal asks. Beomgyu nods.

"He had a reason to run" Taehyun turned to Beomgyu's dad and glares at him. "Beomgyu told me how his dad abuses him!" Taehyun yells.

"That's not true, Sir! Beomgyu ran away because he didn't want to do his homework, so when I was about to tell him to do it, he jumped out his window!" Beomgyu's dad yells.

Beomgyu whimpers and hides his face in Taehyun's arm. Of course, the principal saw that.

"Alright, that's enough. I saw enough" he stands up and goes over to Beomgyu's dad. "You, I can see that you have abused your child as his reactions towards your yelling is making him frightened! I also know the difference between lies and the truth" he slaps him the face. "You're nothing but a liar"

Beomgyu's dad eyes widen. "I'm sorry but you're mistaken, my son here is the liar! Reactions have nothing to do with this- hey!" The principal pulled Beomgyu's dad from behind and kept his arms locked behind him.

"Boys, call the cops. Don't worry Beomgyu, your dad will no longer bother you from now on. As for you Taehyun, thank you for helping Beomgyu out, that's exactly how friends should deal with these type of situations" The principal says.

Taehyun calls the cops on Beomgyu's dad. When they arrive, Beomgyu and Taehyun could go back to the auditorium to finish what they started.

They practice their song, putting the piano and guitar in for background music. The only two people hearing it for the very first time.

In their head, they think of Beomgyu's dad in jail and how's he feeling. But in their hearts, they feel the music that's surrounding the entire auditorium room.
