Matter to You || TaeGyu

Chapter 7

Taehyun woke up earlier than his usual body clock. It was five in the morning and the house was absolutely quiet. He kept on tossing around bed, finding a perfect position so he could go back to sleep but it was restless.

He decided to just grab a cup of coffee and do something before he goes to work. Failing to remember that next to his room was a sleeping beauty.

He stride to the kitchen and was dumbfounded, breath hitching when he sees the bountiful dinner Beomgyu did for him. He walked closer, still not believing that Beomgyu's efforts were put to waist because he had to attend an event.

If he had known that the beautiful boy prepared so much, he'd excuse himself and rush home instead of forcing to socialize. His night would have been better if— shit, he didn't have dinner?

Shit, I'm so fucking naive. Taehyun wanted to punch himself for being an asshole. He sees two empty plates along with numerous dishes that prolly take Beomgyu two hours to finish. His heart twinge, face-palming when he suddenly remembers how Beomgyu asked him in a worried manner.

The guy didn't asked him anything aside from it. He didn't even protest when he left him just like that. Even if Beomgyu had dinner, the efforts were wasted and boy, Beomgyu didn't deserved it at all.

The boy had been staying for almost a week and there was no troubles. He was kind, honest, bold and understanding. Taehyun always desired it. How Beomgyu could easily confess to him that he didn't wanna be inside the house whenever he isn't around. How Beomgyu understands 'that' boundaries between them. How Beomgyu was so kind to extend so much efforts to him.

It was scary. The boy was dangerous and Taehyun having this several emotion trying to burst out was dire. He was afraid that one day, he will have to crave for more. He will crave for Beomgyu in a state that he never would crave for anything else.

His steps took him upstairs, to the guest room where the sleeping beauty was resting. The twinge in his heart gets tremendous, he started having goosebumps as he stared at how Beomgyu's chest rise up and down from breathing. It was getting painful, it wasn't a twinge anymore.

Promptly, Taehyun was sliding his body next to Beomgyu. He moved silently so the boy wouldn't wake up. His body pressed upon Beomgyu's as he inhaled that addicting scent Beomgyu has, trying to exhale that tormenting guilt he felt.

He knew that feeling too well. It was often to him, the efforts being wasted. The feeling of not being appreciated. He felt that for a very long time, and he doesn't know why he felt so bad doing it to Beomgyu.

He was only a stranger he slept on weeks ago. He was only a passerby in his abode, leaving him alone when he gets to find a place but why? Why does it sounds more painful? Why do Beomgyu needs to leave me?

He was always reticent about his emotions, creating that cold and reserved look to defend himself from people who only care about their status in the industry and Beomgyu... he came.

Beomgyu came, he has always answer. He was always outspoken. Too outspoken that Taehyun wanted to surrender, he wanted Beomgyu to see right through him.

And no, he can never let Beomgyu slip away in his life that easily. His head shake in disagree at the thought of the boy abandoning him.

No, no, Beomgyu will never want to leave. His mind echoed as he tighten the hold around Beomgyu's waist, never leaving a small amount of distance.

And Beomgyu, oh Beomgyu knew that there is a presence beside him. Giving him warmth and he knew it was Taehyun. There was no doubt it was Taehyun because only him could make him relinquish.
