Taehyun ran his fingers through his hair in frustration after throwing his phone onto the bed. He was scrolling through social media and it was filled with controversies of his engagement with Beomgyu. They just wouldn't leave them alone. Students started to pay attention to him in the school campus and he hated it. Why did Beomgyu have to be so popular in school? 

The media was all over them when they first announced their engagement too but they soon died down when there was nothing much to cover. Beomgyu's family owned the Choi corporate which included the biggest hospital located in South Korea. Considering that Beomgyu came from a famous and prominent family, he actually lived quite a carefree life. His parents had made sure to keep the media out of his life. Since they were well respected, everyone obeyed. There was no one who would want to hurt the Choi family as well, especially Choi Beomgyu who was rumoured to be merciless to those who harmed him or his close ones. "You can't hurt me but I can hurt you" was what Taehyun had heard Beomgyu say once to someone who provoked him and tried to find his weakness.

Taehyun scorned at that. It seemed like Beomgyu applied that to everything, like how he expected Taehyun to follow his every order while he could treat him like a toy and torment him though he didn't really do that anymore. However, Taehyun didn't appreciate being all over social media and people following him around in school. He was sure that this was Beomgyu's new way to irritate him. 

It was Saturday evening. which meant that Taehyun had to teach and prepare dinner with Beomgyu. Taehyun sighed deeply as checked the clock. It was time. He left his room and closed the door behind him when all of the sudden he heard glass shattering and pots clattering. He quickly rushed down the stairs, fearing for the worst. 

"Aish... He must be creating a ruckus again"  Taehyun muttered under his breath after hearing pots and glasses crashing from the kitchen. He took his own sweet time down the stairs to the kitchen to inspect, thinking that Beomgyu must had done it on purpose just to create more work for Taehyun. 

What he didn't expect to see was Beomgyu crouching down with one hand holding onto the kitchen counter and the other hand clutching the hem of his white shirt tightly. His eyes were shut close as well. Taehyun stood rooted at the entrance of the kitchen, not knowing how to react. Beomgyu didn't seem like he was messing around. A pot was lying on the floor with a shattered glass of water. There was a packet of instant ramen on the counter. Taehyun assumed that Beomgyu was suffering from gastric since he had skipped breakfast and lunch. He wondered why Beomgyu never called for him to cook like he always did.

Before Taehyun could say or do anything, Beomgyu stood up and noticed Taehyun. His complexion was pale but a smirk was plastered on his face.

"Hey, clean these up for me, I will be going out to get food instead" Beomgyu said as he left the mess and walked past Taehyun.

Taehyun quickly forgot his concern for the older after seeing that stomach churning smirk. How he wished he could erase his entire face... No, his whole existence. Beomgyu deserved to suffer from gastric, Taehyun thought. He hoped he would suffer more often.

Taehyun ran to the kitchen to find Beomgyu sprawled on the floor, staring at the ceiling and sighing. He looked so done with himself. It was an interesting and rare sight to behold. Taehyun stifled a laugh, forgetting about how he was angry at the older previously.
