Volevo Un Gatto Nero ➳ Taegyu ✔

3. Hell House

A/N: The members of aespa and Lia from Itzy use stage names, but they're going by their real names in this. So if you only know them by their stage names, you could possibly maybe search up their real names so you're not confused lol. Also this chapter is awkward as hell because it's a human in a room full of fourteen vampires sjhfhs.

After an hour of tutoring, Taehyun led Beomgyu through the huge house to the dining room. There, Beomgyu saw everyone. Nine other boys, and four girls. It was their whole group from school.

Beomgyu was confused. Why were there so many of them? He thought maybe they were just a large friend group who mainly lived in separate houses. Were they all siblings? Or just close friends who all lived together.

"Are you gonna sit down?" Taehyun asked, and Beomgyu came back to his senses to see all of them staring at him.

Terrifying.

He sat in between Taehyun and one of the girls who he knew to be Uchinaga, sitting there quietly as a few of them talked.

"Beomgyu." Said boy looked up, realizing it was Wooyoung who was talking to him. "Earlier, in the hallway..." Beomgyu's eyes widened. No. He thought only Taehyun noticed. Oh God. "Why were you staring at Yeosang?"

Everybody stopped talking and he looked down, wanting nothing more than to leave and never come back. This was worse than facing his disappointed sister.

He looked up, making eye contact with Seonghwa who was staring at him with blank eyes that made Beomgyu gulp. "I-I-"

Seonghwa stood up, and his heart was beating so painfully hard as he watched his classmate walk over to grab Yeosang's hand. "Answer him."

"I-I was just confused. I had never seen him with you guys before." He looked down, seeing promise rings on both Yeosang and Seonghwa's right hands, and realized he fucked up. "I wasn't like checking him out or anything. I'm sorry, but I should be going."

"What? Are you scared of me?" Seonghwa asked and Taehyun laughed.

"Hyung's not scary Beomgyu. He's just protective. Yeosang's... been through a lot. And Seonghwa loves him. He protects the people he loves. And yes, he can come off as intimidating sometimes, but he's very caring, right?" Yeosang nodded, kissing Seonghwa's hand that was resting over his shoulder.

"Welcome to the Hell house. I hope you like it here," Yeonjun said.
