Chapter 07:

"He shouldn't have kicked him, though"
"What do you mean? Anyone would have done the same"
"No Taehyun, no one could have, no one dares to"
"What even is he doing now?", Taehyun asked, frustrated as he looked at Yeonjun who was zoned out. Soobin was on his phone, probably enquiring something.

Taehyun walked to Yeonjun who was sitting on the couch with his legs opened, in the most comfortable manner and observed his cheek which was red and swollen even though it has been some time, Taehyun sighed and placed the icepack on his face, a little too hard.

Yeonjun freaked out in pain, "You guys-", he said moving his forefinger among the three boys, "Mind you, you're my friends okay? Don't you dare feel sympathy towards a rat!"

Taehyun sighed and threw the icepack on Yeonjun's face before leaving the room.

Yeonjun smirked, "Wait for it, Choi Beomgyu".

"Oh, no, he hasn't come home", Beomgyu's mother said. Yuna ended the call. She looked around to see a club of customers waiting for her to take their order.

Yuna sighed and continued to do her work after texting Jungwon about Beomgyu's absence.

Beomgyu wasn't home, he wasn't at work, he wasn't in the school, he escaped to where? no one knew.

"What do you mean you can't come? I would definitely feel empty without you there Mia~", Kai sweet talked to a girl on video call. Taehyun rolled his eyes but smiled when he was in front of the camera. The two boys were getting ready for their usual evening parties.

Both of them drove their vehicles to a magnificent club, owned by Kai's family. They enjoyed themselves to the fullest, while they were sitting on their own, talking about how two people from different worlds cannot be together, Yeonjun arrived.

Yeonjun's face depicted annoyance and anger, no different from the usual, but the degree seemed higher. He rushed to the other two boys and yelled, "Where's Soobin?"
"Who knows", Kai rolled his eyes.
"Did you guys see this?"
Yeonjun pulled out his phone and showed the two a picture of Soobin patting Beomgyu's head on the rooftop.

"Why the hell does he have to be nice to that rat?"
"Maybe because he's a cute rat?", Taehyun snickered.

Yeonjun threw his phone away, "I am trying to make that boy's life miserable! He talked shit about me. He deserves the worst and anyone who interferes would deserve the same. Taehyun, stop calling him cute or I'll blacklist you like I'm going to blacklist Soobin now"
"What are you? five?", Taehyun asked sarcastically earning a glare from Yeonjun.

"You scared me"
"How did you find this place now? and why are you here this late?"
"I am tired"
"is that why you were crying?", Beomgyu nodded, covering his face. Beomgyu opened his eyes to see Soobin doing a Headstand. Beomgyu gasped out of surprise.

"What are you-"
"If you cry like this, you won't get tear stains, you know?"
Beomgyu chuckled within his tears, Soobin got up, "Your family would be worried"
Beomgyu nodded. "I'll take you home, come on?"
"Thank you"
"Anytime? We're friends, aren't we?"
"Huh? Friends?", Beomgyu's eyes rose up.

Soobin nodded and held Beomgyu's hand, getting him out of that shabby place.

Both boys walked towards the main road, Beomgyu ran towards a light board that was placed near the bus stand. Soobin noticed Beomgyu's foot as the little boy ran, it was bloody, Beomgyu had his shoes in his hands.

Soobin rushed towards Beomgyu to see him cleaning the board, Beomgyu yelled, "Do you know her? Isn't she the brightest of all stars? My inspiration. Just like her name Daisy, she's the prettiest, I wish I could be as confident as her-", Beomgyu kept speaking while Soobin just smiled.

"Beomgyu, your foot. It is bleeding"
"Oh, don't worry about it-", before Beomgyu could say any further, Soobin picked the boy up and said, "it doesn't work that way", Beomgyu held onto the taller for his life. Soobin kept walking, Beomgyu questioned, "where are we-"
"Oh yes, I forgot to ask you, where do you live?"
"Well", Beomgyu was a little embarrassed about his place, because Soobin looked like a clean freak.

Beomgyu jumped down, hurting his foot, but smiled and said, "I'll go on my own, I promise! You can go now, thank you for today"
"Are you sure?"
"Mhm!"
Soobin bent down a little, holding Beomgyu's head which certainly fitted into Soobin's hand. He ruffled his hair and smiled before walking away with his hands in his pockets. Beomgyu felt enormous amount of heat around his face, he slapped himself to get himself out of the feels and looked at Soobin with widened eyes, "What was that just now?"

"I'm obviously disowning you, you traitor!", Yeonjun yelled at Soobin. Taehyun sighed, "isn't he like that overdramatic uncles in those dramas, who are like the villains-"
"WHO DID YOU CALL A VILLAIN?!"
"Gosh, he's got a thin hearing"

Soobin smiled and said, "Yeonjun, bud, calm down? okay? I was just trying to resist that boy from making ugly drawings of you on the rooftop"
Yeonjun's fumed expressions calmed down, "wait, really?"
"mhm"
"HE DREW ME?"
"yeah, but as the villain"
"HOW DARE HE DRAW ME WITH THOSE FILTHY HANDS-"
"there we go again"

The boys left, leaving Yeonjun alone who was busy strategizing things to make Beomgyu suffer. Kai said, "Has he ever invested this much time?"
"He used to be invested in that toy car he stole from Soobin, which he announced as his first love, now it's that boy he's that invested in"
"Sounds.."
"Yeah, it's going to be fun"
