Can't You See Me? ➳ Taegyu ✔

8. Beat His Ass Yeonjun

A/N: Hello Da- I mean Yeonjun. Okay but he is so... I don't even wanna talk about how attractive he is.

Finally.

Finally, after a few long, excruciating hours, Taehyun was sitting in lunch with Yeonjun sitting next to him, walking him through the problems. He was a little scared that Kai was talking to Jaesung, but they were right next to them.

Once again, he was bragging to himself about how strong Yeonjun was.

"Taehyun." He looked at the black haired boy and saw him staring at him. "You alright?"

Shit. He completely zoned out.

"Um. Y-yeah, it's just-"

"He's fine," Jaesung interrupted, leaning in to kiss his neck, and Taehyun looked at Yeonjun with pleading eyes.

"I asked him asshole. Your name's not Taehyun, is it?"

Oh shit.

Taehyun had always thought Yeonjun was attractive, but damn he was pretty when he was mad and defensive.

"Stay out of it f*ggot."

"How are you gonna kiss a guy's neck and then call me the f slur? What the fuck is wrong with you?"

Jaesung scoffed and finally removed his arms from Taehyun's waist who sighed in relief. "Well your two friends are f*gs. Wouldn't be surprised if the ladies' favorite bad boy was too."

Taehyun realized Yeonjun was very good at controlling his temper, only sitting there and looking up at Jaesung when the other stood up to stand right in front of him.

Yeonjun was usually careful about what he said. He didn't want to say things that would genuinely hurt someone's feelings. But Taehyun knew he was just trying to get Jaesung to throw the first punch.

"Maybe I am one. Your dead father would know," he said with a smirk and Taehyun and Kai both gasped when he was punched harshly.

"Beat his ass Yeonjun!" Kai yelled excitedly, realizing that this guy probably wasn't good.

Yeonjun waited a few more punches until he finally stood up and slammed Jaesung onto the table to punch him over and over again while everybody screamed and cheered around them.

It was so weird to Taehyun that everyone liked seeing fights happen. They usually made him uncomfortable.

But Taehyun was just a soft boy so most things violent made him uncomfortable.

"If you touch him again I'll escort you to the gates of Hell myself!"

Luckily teachers came in only after he said that.

***

Either everyone was too afraid of Yeonjun to blame it on him, or they truly know he didn't start the fight. Either way, everybody stuck up for him, and now he just has a Saturday detention, which he probably would've gotten anyway from drawing on a wall or something.

"I'll come back to pick you up soon," he told Kai. "I need to talk to Taehyun about Jaesung." Kai nodded and left the Principle's office to probably go to his next class. Yeonjun looked at Taehyun who was sitting in a chair fiddling with his thumbs and sighed. "Are you okay?"

Taehyun looked up at him with big doe eyes and stuttered. "Y-yeah. I'm fine. I'm glad you're not in too much trouble. Thank you. That was really nice of you and-"

"I'm your friend. That's what friends do for each other, right?"

"Right."

That's what Beomgyu always did when they were kids. Beomgyu used to be buffer than him and always stuck up for him.

That's what friends do for each other...

"Come on. Buy me some food and we'll go talk about all this."

Taehyun whined. "I don't wanna talk about him-"

"Please. You asked me to help you and I don't even know the context."

That was true. It wouldn't be fair to Yeonjun if Taehyun didn't tell him what happened. So he nodded and stood up to follow him out.

A lot of people were in the hallway, probably to try to find out what the punishments were like, and Yeonjun held Taehyun's hand to lead him through it. They were all talking to try to get Yeonjun's attention, but he only stared at a few of them.

It was literally in slow motion. He just saw them for a second while walking out, but it was enough to fully examine everything.

Soobin stared at Yeonjun, his back leaning against a wall with his arm around Mia who was looking somewhere else with a sucker in her mouth. Beomgyu stood in front of them, staring at Taehyun with a look of just... nothing.

Taehyun didn't notice it, too busy burrowing into Yeonjun's side to even notice the three of them.

Beomgyu was in the middle.

The leader is always the one in the middle.
