He wiped his tears away and got up. He went over to his bag and took out his painting from earlier.
He put it on the wall opposite to Beomgyu so it would always be facing him.
Taehyun smiled "I want to tell you... I love you"
He went back to Beomgyu...
Beomgyu closed the door and sighed. He was really dreading meeting his parents but he had to because only god knows what would happen if he disobeyed. He made his way to the car and drove to the mansion.
He parked his car but saw another car, which meant today was not going to end well. It was his older brother, Choi Sangwon. His name made Beomgyu's blood boil but for now, he ignored it.
He got out of the car and made his way to the gate. He rang the bell and the gate opened after a couple of seconds. He took a deep breath and put on a fake smile.
He opened the main door and was quickly greeted by the butler. He bowed respectfully and made his way to the living room. He spoke loudly "I'm home".
He heard a voice "Beomie what a nice surprise" the voice said sarcastically with a hint of hate.
Beomgyu turned around "Well if it isn't my most beloved older brother" he said with a smile.
Sangwon scoffed "I see you're still as arrogant as ever"
Beomgyu chuckled "When you are raised with a devil like you, you simply have to adapt to the environment."
Sangwon seemed spiteful before he could say anything else he heard their parents coming in.
All of a sudden Beomgyu hugged Sangwon tightly, he leaned towards Sangwon's ear "I resent you" Beomgyu whispered.
Beomgyu smiled "Mom, Dad, it's nice to see you guys" he spoke out loud
Their mother approached them with their father walking behind "My children, it's been so long". She kissed their foreheads "I'm glad to see you both"
Their father gave them a handshake. He was a cold person so it was expected. Their mother grabbed each of them by one arm and dragged them outside to their garden.

They sat down on the couch. One of the maids came in with lemonade and biscuits. Their father sat down facing both of the boys. Their father gave their mom a look and she seemed gloomy and apologetic. She looked down at the floor mumbling "Sorry".
Their father looked at Sangwon first "So Sangwon I'm glad you finally became a lawyer, which means that Beomgyu will have to take over the hospitals we own. Once I retire, of course"
Beomgyu felt bitter and remorseful, without noticing he clenched his fist. Beomgyu scoffed "What makes you think I would do that, I am working towards my dream"
Beomgyu's father raised his voice a bit "Beomgyu you were chosen for this position, it's in your best interest to listen to me and take it."
Beomgyu yelled "NO DAD, ITS NOT WHAT I WANT"
His dad snapped "BEOMGYU I am your father. What I say is final. When are you going to snap out of your fantasy"
Beomgyu was enraged " What the hell do you mean fantasy?"
Beomgyu's father laughed "When are you going to realize that you will never become an idol. You lack everything. You have no skills and your visuals are mediocre. You wouldn't make it with all the hate and crazy people. Even your best efforts will never be enough. It's better to give up now"
Beomgyu was shocked "Wow, you don't believe in your son? What a terrible parent. You never supported me or even cared enough to listen to me or ask me what I liked. By the way I never asked for your opinion. I was telling you"
Beomgyu felt a gush of wind, followed by heat. His father slapped him "I put a roof over your head and you dare to disrespect me"
Beomgyu felt a mix of negative emotions, He was clouded with feelings "I think it's for the best I leave and just never come back"
Beomgyu didn't even wait, he simply got his things and headed out the door. No one followed him but that was expected.
He composed himself and drove home, it was dangerous but he just wanted to go home. Beomgyu tried to put a barrier on his emotions but he simply couldn't.
He took the elevator and made his way to the dorm. Without noticing he started crying, with the same words replaying in his head. "Even your best efforts will never be enough" .
All Beomgyu wanted was quiet but the words were ringing so loud in his head, he wanted to yell and shatter everything within reach.
He opened the door, trying to quickly make his way to his room so Taehyun wouldn't see him in this state. Before he could move he froze, overwhelmed with everything. He felt warms hands caressing him.
Beomgyu dropped to the floor sobbing. Taehyun got on the floor hugging Beomgyu. Taehyun said comforting words until Beomgyu fell asleep on him while on the floor.
Taehyun's P.O.V
---
It's been 2 days and Beom is still locked up in his room. He doesn't want to talk to anyone
Taehyun hoped the older would open up more but you can't really force someone into sharing something they don't want to.
Taehyun only knew that Beomgyu had gone over to his parents house and then he came back. Taehyun knew something must have happened with Beomgyu's family. But what?
Taehyun knew better than to get into peoples business but he was concerned for the latter. He would regret this later but he wanted to know how to help Beomgyu.
This meant he was about to become a detective so some snopping was going to be needed.
No screw that, he needed to be an adult and just be upfront.
He got in his car and made his way to the adress he remebered from back when the 2 first met. He arrived but there was nothing there, just great.
Taehyun sighed and went up to the neighbors door instead. He rang the bell and this woman in her mid 30's came out.
She looked kind enough. Taehyun miled "Hi, I was wondering if you know what happened to the people that used to live next door?"
The woman thought for a while "Oh didn't you know? They moved a couple months ago."
Taehyun cursed to himself but quickly calmed down "By any chance, do you know where they moved?"
"Yeah they moved to a secluded area in UN Village, here i'll write down where" she handed Taehyun a piece of paper with an address.
"Thank you" Taehyun slightly bowed and made his way to his car.
The woman waved goodbye. Taehyun wasn't sure he should trust her but he didn't have any other options.
After some navigating he made his way to the adress. It took a while but he managed to find it.
He mentally prepared himself for what he was about to find out. He exhaled and finally rang the bell.
A man in his early 40's answered the door. He was tall, brow hair and eyes, and he gave off a vibe Taehyun didn't like.
