Abscond || Taegyu

Growing thorns inside my chest

Days had passed and Ahyoung did what Beomgyu told him. She started to learn about Taehyun more as Beomgyu noticed that she was also getting clingy. Taehyun hadn't seemed to catch on from her actions though, all oblivious and clueless from her poor excuse of a flirt.

And as those days passed by, ranting to Beomgyu about her fluttering feeling whenever Taehyun talks gently to her, seemed to awaken something inside Beomgyu. The thorns inside of his chest grow sharper and bigger, clutching every corner of his heart as it will soon crawl up to his throat.

Every single day, he feels pissy like he always wakes up at the wrong side of the bed. He can't help but get all irritated whenever he hears her voice mentioning the younger boy's name.

Maybe he was getting tired of her rants and he was also getting tired of the repetitive mention of Taehyun, but the thing is, if it's from someone else's mouth he doesn't mind hearing the younger's name and when Ahyoung once ranted about her progress in literature, she also didn't seemed to be as irritating that day. So Beomgyu is sure that the issue here wasn't Ahyoung's voice nor Taehyun's name.

Beomgyu doesn't know what's going on, but the days keep getting harder to endure as he gets madder and madder with each passing time. He subconsciously knew that he didn't like how Taehyun and Ahyoung's relationship had grown overtime. From mere classmates to friends, she started to feel comfortable around the boy and Taehyun also started joking around her. And what pisses Beomgyu more? The fact that Ahyoung didn't need any tutoring yet she still asks Taehyun for help.

He knows. He knows she's just trying to create a reason to hang out with Taehyun and snatch him away from them, and Beomgyu finds that really selfish.

But hey! Taehyun has his own rights! It's not like Taehyun hates Ahyoung's company because if he does, he'll say it to her immediately, and no one seems to go against Taehyun's decision of continuously helping Ahyoung out so Beomgyu can't really do or say anything.

He felt like seething in anger for no particular reason. His organs getting boiled in the pool of oil and the urge to vomit his heart out of his body was getting stronger. Why does he feel this way? As far as he can remember, Ahyoung never did anything wrong with him and reality check, Taehyun can befriend anyone he likes, but every time Taehyun's name comes out of the girl's mouth, he has this sudden feeling of ruining things.

He hates this. He utterly despised this feeling, and he'll do anything to get rid of whatever's hunting him on the inside. If confronting Ahyoung and Taehyun about how he feels, he'll spare his pride and embarrassment to settle this one out.

He couldn't settle this one out.

Beomgyu tried to approach Ahyoung about it but the girl would keep on intervening him from talking and start gushing about her crush on the younger boy. He would again, start to feel things he didn't wanna feel and tried to listen to Ahyoung's lovesick rants without letting the hidden irritation inside of his chest leap out. And so, he failed to approach Ahyoung.

He also tried telling Taehyun about it as well, but when he was about to tell him the ugly feeling inside him, he couldn't help but think that he was being ridiculous. He couldn't even figure out how to call what he's feeling, how is he supposed to explain it to the younger then? So even without guessing, Beomgyu failed to open up to his friend as well.

And now he's here, hanging out with the Choi couple as Taehyun and Kai had to run some errands for the teachers, banging his head lightly on the table multiple times that made the other two think that he'd lost it already.

"Dude, you've been sulking and pissy these days. Who put cracker crumbs on your bed?" Beomgyu grunt loudly from Yeonjun's question as he grabbed a fist-full of his own hair and tugged it harshly, making the eldest wince from the phantom pain as he massaged his own scalp.
