the present perfect...
MJ & KAVIN both cheer from the yacht, holding in their glasses of soda. "i've been waiting for this moment for so long. we will go all out today." "do you have to make a big deal about this?" asked thyme whom sat across from ren. kavin stutters, "this is an official F4 reunion." he replies.
"what are you two waiting for? clink the glasses." thyme turns his head to look at ren drawing in his sketch book. he noticed ren got a new one.
he looks back to avoid eye contact from him. "no." he says which caused ren to shut his book. he grabs two sodas from the cooler, tossing the bottle to the other strange boy and catching it.
thyme brings it out, "hmm. let's clink it this way." ren's face was immediately brought into a smile, which he seemed to love because of how big it was. they clink the bottles. "yeah, that's how it's done! finally, peace and quiet have been restored to our lives."
maybe these two were complicated but if they both knew one thing, it was that they both wanted each other.
thyme missed ren as time passed by, after apologizing to gorya he knew he needed to apologize to ren. so, if i told you thyme literally bought a whole vacation home for this, would you believe me?
well either way—he did.
however, when ren was there, thyme was stuck on what to tell him. he couldn't just immediately blurt out, "i bought a whole home so me and you can have a serious talk."
thyme was honestly confused at this point. gorya was ignoring him and he was focusing more on ren. "why did you really drag me here, thyme?" he asked, sitting on the ground and laying his elbows on the coffee table.
his eyes trailed across him before he took a seat. "are you really asking me that?"
they both stare, ren even knew why he was here. he huffs, getting a bit closer to his face so thyme could hear him clearly. "we need to stop, don't we?" he watches the other think for a moment, looking at the ground.
he licked his lips and rubs his palms nervously on his pants. "i don't think i—" he stutters, gulping from trying to form the sentence out. "ren, i don't think i wanna stop." thyme finally admits.
ren was biting his nails from how scared he felt. but once he heard those words come out of his mouth, his whole body was relieved. but there was another part, gorya.
there was no way thyme could tell her this. specifically, he just didn't care as much because they aren't even together. "do you wanna stop?" he spoke, bugging ren's thoughts.
the only part he was worried about was her. but, he nods. thyme? thyme was shocked. he through ren was going to hit him and leave. "it's just...gorya." "we're not together..i'll figure her out." thyme explains truthfully.
"is this going to end badly, thyme?"
"i think so, ren."
ren and thyme sat in front of the tv, eating ramen and watching a drama. they both enjoyed it, they were extremely interested anyhow.
"oh! is there anything you want for your birthday?" ren asked him. thyme was turning eighteen this weekend, of course there will be an extremely huge party. thyme tries to think of something, "you to be there." he replies.
ren laughed, hitting him in the shoulder. "idiot. of course i'm coming!"
thyme stares, admiring ren's smile while he laughed. ren noticed, he was falling even more right now. thyme brought his chin to their faces, before leaning in and leaving a quick and deep kiss.
they both melted in, getting tangled in each other's warmth. they pull away, thyme smiling softly at the other. ren tried not to smile, focusing himself on the drama.
___
ren had spotted gorya from afar, she was talking with mj and kavin. he looked down, knowing this night was going to be all about her and thyme.
he walks towards them, seeing gorya yell as she got picked up by kavin. "kavin!" gorya whispers. the whole party went silent, staring at them:
thyme turned, looking at ren with a big smile. but, he turned back to gorya and smile at her instead.
"i'm...gonna go use the restroom. excuse me." ren spoke, walking over to the rooms.
fuck gorya and her stupid complex.
shit..you aren't supposed to hate her, ren.
rem stared at himself in the mirror, licking his lips as a solid wet tear rolled down his cheek. he wipes it aggressively, smiling to himself in the mirror before leaving to make sure he was good.
this? this wasn't not gonna be a fun night.
but then again—ren was one of the people to gasp when he heard thyme's mother's announcement.
