the boy at the bus stop • taegyu

Late night walk

"Are you sure hanging out with this dude is a good idea? I had heard he was funny but I didn't know he was funny in the wrong way." Kai said, munching on a waffle he had gotten from the cafe.

"I honestly don't know. I'm starting to wish I never ran into him in the first place. But to be honest I don't really mind his company. I think he may have a screw or two lose but otherwise he's quite nice." Taehyun answered, putting his hoodie on and leaned down to take a bite of Kai's waffle.

Kai gave a thoughtful hum in response. "Well, either way, I'm happy for both of you. Just please don't get into trouble."

Taehyun laughed.

"Considering my reputation, I doubt the teachers would actually believe anything is my fault at this point."

Kai cracked a smile at that. He was right about that for sure. Taehyun was the teacher's little angel. Submitting all his work on time and always answering the professors.

"Anyway, I'm going down for my walk now. I'll be back in an hour or so. Try not to fuck up until then." Taehyun said, pocketing his phone, earning a playful punch from Kai. "The kitchen is off limits, Kai. If you invite Jake or Jay over, only they're allowed into the kitchen.

"Okay mom. Leave already." Kai said, shaking his head with a laugh, pushing Taehyun out of the dorms and closing the door.

Taehyun sighed and made his way down, plugging in his earphones and walking down the dorms. 

He decided to visit the C dorm area this time, after all he'd never been there and now he even had a friend in there so why not. He'd have more of an area to walk around in anyway. Nodding his head to the music, he made his way two buildings to the C dorm. It wasn't as different from his own dorm. It did have many more plants around and also a couple of benches.

There was no one out here so he decided to hum to the song as he walked. Passing flower bushes and trees, with the cold night breeze tickling his face, his mood automatically uplifted by a great amount.

As he continued walking, he spotted someone familiar on one of the benches in the corner. Judging by the long black hair, he was certain it was Beomgyu. His eyes lit up, after all finding someone he knew here was even more exciting for him.

He removed his earphones and ran over to the boy, calling out his name.

"Beomgyu! I didn't expect to see here this late." Taehyun said, stopping and taking a seat beside him, smiling.

Beomgyu turned towards him returning the greeting with a big smile but Taehyun's expression immediately changed.

"What's wrong?!" He asked, eyebrows furrowing.

Beomgyu looked confused. "What?"

"Why are you crying?"

"Oh. Just another nightmare hehe." Beomgyu said, wiping the stream of tears off his face.

Taehyun was so confused. Beomgyu greeted him with a stable voice and cheerful face but his red rimmed eyes said otherwise. He remembered the boy mentioning a nightmare 2 nights ago when they were texting, brushing it off with carefreeness again.

"Are you really okay? Do you want me to take you to the dorms?" he asked, Beomgyu's smile playing no effect on him at all.

"No no don't worry, tears are temporary but swag is permanent." Beomgyu said, smirking.

Taehyun brought his hand up to massage his forehead. This boy was getting on every single nerve he had in his body at this point. He looked back up at Beomgyu and sighed at his smile.
