*The next day*
"Wooyoung!" Yuna yelled, looking for the vampire. "We're supposed to do Taehyun's makeup! Where are you?!"
"I'm getting my shit," he said, dragging a huge bag to Taehyun's room where he was waiting. "You don't look this pretty without a huge collection of beauty products."
Poor, foolish Wooyoung. He was pretty anyway.
"Taehyun!" He screeched when the boy was already doing his makeup. Very well, might he add. "I was supposed to do that."
"I didn't know..."
Wooyoung wiped his face clean, making him flinch at the aggressiveness of it.
"Beomgyu asked us to do it," Yuna said, straightening the boy's suit. "I'll do your hair." Taehyun shrugged, wincing at how aggressive they both were being at times.
"You guys are violent."
"Well now look at yourself," Wooyoung said, and Taehyun did, taking a deep breath. "Well, what do you think?"
Taehyun was never confident in himself. It was a trait that he envied the hell out of Beomgyu for. And right now, he still didn't know if he felt a healthy level of confidence.
But seeing himself all dolled up and pretty for the first time in a couple decades put him at a loss for words.
"Y-yeah," he stuttered. "It's good." Yuna and Wooyoung excitedly left to go get ready themselves and Taehyun looked in the mirror, jumping in his seat when he saw Ari standing in his doorway.
Of course.
It was obvious why she was here.
"You look very handsome," she complimented. "Obviously, I have to give you this talk." She pulled a chair over to sit next to him and he suddenly became very nervous. "Beomgyu's been through Hell. Whether it was with or without you, he's constantly been put through Hell. And when it was with you, you've always been able to bring him happiness. It's something that I couldn't achieve, and I think it's because I always just reminded him of what he went through as a child."
Taehyun thought for a moment and shook his head, feeling bad because this had probably been eating at her for a while. "Ari, I feel like... maybe the reason for that is because you did become a parent figure to him? It's been hundreds of years since I had parents, but I remember not being able to talk to them about some things, especially if they were personal. He was at a very young age when you took custody of him, and you're his family. It can be hard to talk to family about stuff."
"Yeah..."
"Sometimes it can be easier to talk to even strangers. They don't know about you, so they won't ridicule you. And no, he isn't afraid of you doing that. But you guys have known each other for so long that it might just be awkward for him. He loves you way more than you think he does."
It was in this moment that Taehyun confirmed all of her suspicions. She always feared that Beomgyu wouldn't be able to find someone to take care of him. No, she didn't want him to if he didn't want to. But when they were younger, he always talked about romance and wanting to get married.
His first girlfriend moved away, and his last boyfriend was somewhat of a jerk. She lost hope for him, and it made her sad to see him get his heart broken. And when it came to Taehyun, she ended up hating him too because of what he seemed to have put Beomgyu through.
But she learned that most of the time, it was Beomgyu's mistake anyway.
Taehyun never did anything to intentionally hurt him like she thought he did.
"You're the only person who will ever be good enough for him," she shook her head in disbelief. "I can't believe I didn't think of it sooner."
"What do you mean?"
"You just completely cheered me up. That's a good trait to have, especially with him. I was supposed to run this pep talk." They both started laughing and she also got up to also go get ready.
He stood up since he was done, but picked up his phone when it started ringing.
He smiled when he saw the caller ID and stared at it for a second, but remembered he had to actually answer the phone.
"Hey," he said after picking up.
"Can you come here?"
There was a tremor in his voice and Taehyun's heart broke. "What's wrong?"
"Please," Beomgyu whispered and Taehyun quickly ran to San's room where Beomgyu was. "Hyung," he whimpered, sniffling a bit as Taehyun ran over to him.
"What is it? Are you hurt? What-"
"It's just that..." he hiccuped. "I'm scared." Taehyun looked at him, thinking he looked absolutely beautiful. He was wearing a suit too obviously, and he got a haircut recently so his black hair was shorter. (A/N: Eternity era Taegyu ofc loves)
"What are you scared of?" He asked softly, holding Beomgyu's hand in his and looking at him fondly.
"I think it might be a little too early..." he looked away in shame, but Taehyun was the one who felt shameful right now.
"I'm sorry I didn't realize. You seemed so excited-"
"I know!" Beomgyu said in anger at himself. "That's why I'm confused. I was so excited last night, but when the sun rose and Huening Kai texted me "good morning", I realized this is it. This is really it. Taehyun, you're 520 years old, and I've only known you for barely two of those years. I just think we have a lot more time."
He was so sad and disappointed in himself. He felt like Taehyun was gonna get up and leave or tell him he wanted to break up.
He felt like Taehyun hated him.
But a soft pair of lips were placed on his forehead and he was pulled into a warm pair of arms.
"I don't care what time it happens. I don't even care if we get married or not. I just care about you. I want you to be happy, and I wanna do things that you want to do. If you wanna wait a few hundred years, then-"
"No," Beomgyu said in a very pouty voice. "A few years. Not a few hundred."
Taehyun chuckled and nodded, pulling him closer to rest his chin on the brunette's head. "I'm sorry for asking you so early."
"Don't do that. It's okay. Let's keep the rings on and just have a long engagement. Besides, it lets people know I'm taken." He giggled, playing with his ring as Taehyun left kisses all over his face.
Telling everyone was not going to be fun.
A/N: They really were going to get married but plot twist? Not really a plot twist but idk.
I cry. No. This is absolute devastation 😭.
THEY'RE LITERALLY THE SAME HEIGHT WHY TF IS BEOMGYU SO TALL?!?!?
