You and I in the setting sun // TOMORROW X TOGETHER [BeomKai]

Sunrise: Epilogue

The warm summer breeze blew lightly past the two boys sitting on the large meadow in front of the residential area they were living in. The soothing wind wafted through their hair, causing Kai to wipe away the single hair strand that fell in Beomgyu's face. Beomgyu only looked at him with big eyes without saying anything to it while Kai touched his face carefully.

The sky got soaked in bright colors, slathered like a painting with infinite glow. The colors above them brought this place the missing glimmer it lacked, showing off the beauty it can bring in the evening. It felt like only the two of them knew of the hidden charm of this place they called home.

Kai could feel the grass on the palm of his hand and sensed their coldness as he leaned his weight on it. The meadow always felt soft and comfortable to lay in. Always softer when Beomgyu laid beside him.

"How long are you going to stare at me like that?" Beomgyu asked with a teasing tone, smiling as he called Kai out. Kai grinned at his sudden question, the corner of his lips going up as the other stayed at its place.

"I'm gonna stop staring." Kai answered with the same teasing tone and let himself fall back into the grass, closing his eyes as he made himself comfortable. Kai only heard a small whispering sound from Beomgyu and he knew exactly that Beomgyu looked at him with puppy-like eyes right now. He grinned at this thought.

Beomgyu soon finished sulking at Kai and turned his attention to something else. Kai enjoyed the sunset shining on his skin, feeling the light stroking over his face.

"Hueningie."

"Hm?"

"Open your eyes." Kai opened only one eye, glimpsing above himself as he saw a big grasshopper in Beomgyu's hands, his little legs moving around in panic.

"Look at the grasshopper!" Beomgyu exclaimed excitedly and proudly showed off the grasshopper with a bright smile on his face, wiggling it in front of Kai's face full of joy.

"Don't touch it." Kai exclaimed louder and quickly moved up from his lying position as he grabbed Beomgyu's arm and pushed it away from his face. Beomgyu laughed at this sight with his full voice and it almost sounded as if he was yelling at Kai with all the joy he had in his chest. Kai couldn't be mad at him for long. Beomgyu's laugh made his chest feel like a butterfly hideout.

"You are such a scaredy cat." Beomgyu laughed at him and held his hand to his chest, unable to breathe properly.

"Ya! You were the one who screamed like a child when Pancake jumped on your bed!"

"I didn't know he was there! He just walked in my room like a ninja." Beomgyu tried defending himself miserably and flailed his hands around. Kai chuckled amused, his bright gaze let Beomgyu feel at ease and he smiled back with the same amusement.

"Yeah and he attacked you with cuddles, sure."

"He is as much of a menace than your tons of plushies."

"You are just jealous that they can sleep next to me every night." Kai claimed and leaned his head a little towards Beomgyu to emphasize his teasing.

"No, I'm not. W-Wait- You are always sleeping on my bed." Beomgyu furrowed his brows in confusion and pointed straight at Kai with his finger.

"No, I don't." Kai said in defense and looked away in realization.

"You are!" Beomgyu exclaimed and wiggled his hand in front of Kai's face and smiled in joy. Kai ignored Beomgyu and looked up, mesmerized by the pink clouds that filled the sky and matched with the blue that was getting darker and darker with every passing minute.
