Suspicions

A/N

Hey everyone! Back with another update, but let me tell you ....... this is longer than normal and is a bit different than usual. I put in 4 different storylines/perspectives into this chapter, so there's a lot going on. But I thought including them all would be interesting. But all I can say is .... are you ready for what's about to happen? Hope y'all enjoy the chapter!

"I'm worried about him. You should have seen him. It was terrifying, like he was fighting something no one else could see. I felt so helpless."

Beomgyu took another bite of his dinner as he looked at Taehyun, the boy looking concerned as well. Taehyun and Beomgyu had met up for dinner in the small patio area next to the chemistry building. Taehyun had to work on a final lab report, so he wanted to stay close to the chemistry building to save time. Beomgyu would never say it out loud, but he liked how secluded the patio area was, as if they were separated from the rest of the world.

"That sounds awful. It must be some sort of trauma response." Taehyun took another bite of food, his eyes not leaving Beomgyu.

"Soobin's had anxiety attacks in front of me before, but this was different. I'm pretty sure it was a PTSD attack. After what he went through that night, I wouldn't be surprised if he was traumatized."

"Look at you putting that psychology major to work." Taehyun laughed slightly, Beomgyu reaching over to hit his arm lightly. He was happy to have lightened the mood a bit, not wanting Beomgyu to dwell on his thoughts too much.

"Ha ha ha, very funny. I'm going to research PTSD a bit more later to see if there's a better way to help him in case it happens again. I just can't stand sitting back while watching him suffer."

Beomgyu's face had formed a frown, taking another bite of food as the wheels in his head kept turning. Taehyun smiled, always admiring the boy's resolve and determination when it came to caring for others. He still couldn't believe of what he used to think of the boy in front of him. As he watched Beomgyu still staring into space with his brows still furrowed, he moved his hand across the small table to hold Beomgyu's hand in his.

"I know you'll come up with something. You always do, especially when it comes to your friends."

Taehyun moved his thumb against the back of Beomgyu's hand, the other immediately relaxing at his boyfriend's touch. Beomgyu couldn't help but smile, both of them pulling their hands apart to eat more food.

After about twenty more minutes of eating and small talk, Taehyun knew he had to get back to the lab if he wanted any chance of finishing his report tonight. The sky was darkening quickly, but neither of them wanted to leave the other. Taehyun was the first to stand, followed by Beomgyu.

"I need to go. Thanks for always making time to eat dinner with me." Taehyun couldn't help but look at the ground, a small blush rising to his cheeks.

"I'd always make time for you. You're important to me." Beomgyu smiled wide, his eyes crescents.

Taehyun moved swiftly to give Beomgyu's cheek a peck, Beomgyu's eyes widening at the impact. It was his turn to look at the ground, subconsciously bringing his hand to touch the skin where Taehyun's lips had made an impact. Taehyun couldn't help but smile at his boyfriend's actions.
