My Son, Beomhyun

Chapter 62

'Thank you for pretending to be my dad for today.'

The words Beomhyun had uttered felt like a bullet piercing straight into Beomgyu's heart.

The older male expected it, but it still hurt how Beomhyun was smiling along with uttering those words out.

His son didn't know him- and it hurts.

"But Beomhyun I-"

But before Beomgyu could even finish, a thread of thoughts invaded his mind.

Would Beomhyun really need him as a father?

He already had Taehyun though.

Besides...

Beomhyun looked happy without Beomgyu in his life, wasn't he?

Should Gyu still carry out this plan of his?

Or not?

"I am your father," Beomgyu whispers, eyes on his son's animated figure that was slowly getting out of his sight.

He could've shouted it, he wanted to shout. But Beomgyu couldn't bring himself to even raise an octave higher.

You could say he was scared, scared of how Beomhyun would react. If the boy would hate him, loathe him, or maybe all in one.

Surely it was impossible for Byun to hug him if Beomgyu would spill the truth out, right?

Probably.

"Gyu?"

It was Soobin.

Discretely wiping the forming tears on his eyelids. Beomgyu looks over at the older male behind him.

"Soobin-hyung? What's up?"

The older ravenette frowned. "Were you... crying?"

Beomgyu forced a scoff, "I was only tearing-up."

"Did something happen at HYBE U?" Soobin asks.

"No nothing serious happened- it's just that..." Beomgyu trailed off, biting his bottom lip as he blinked the tears away.

"I'm scared," he whispers.

"Scared off what? About Beomhyun's reaction of finding out that you're his biological father?"

Beomgyu didn't answer and looked away. Which only confirmed Soobin's suspicions.

He let's out a sigh, "You know Gyu, you can always think about his reaction later. When you tell him-"

"I-I know hyung!" Beomgyu cuts him off. "I know that but... I dunno, I keep on thinking about it. I mean, would he even need me when he has Taehyun? Hyung I-"

"Do you want me to slap you Gyu?" Soobin asked casually.

Taken aback by the sudden question, Beomgyu gives the older a confused look.

"What?"

"Do you want me to slap you?" Soobin repeats. "Just like how my Yeonjunnie slapped you a couple of days ago? Would you like that?"

"Oh hell no my cheek was swollen for two whole days just because of that slap!" Beomgyu objects, unconsciously rubbing the cheek Yeonjun had slapped just a few days ago.

"Well I'll happily call Yeonjun and the two of us will slap you on both cheeks if you don't stop with your self-pity right now. You don't want that right?" Soobin threatens him.

Frightened, Beomgyu shook his head. Besides, his hyung had a point, what was the use of self-pity now? It will only make it even harder for Beomgyu to lessen the gap he had made.
