Abscond || Taegyu

What lies beneath those words

Brace yourselves as this is the second to the longest chapter I've ever released.

----------------------------------

"Ugghh! I don't understand a thing! Where is Taehyun when you need him?!"

With another slam that his palm made from the impact, Beomgyu hit the certain page in his book he was having a hard time understanding.

It was their usual day in Kai's house with little to no presence of Taehyun around as the devil of a bitch- is what the little demon that sits on his left shoulder calls the girl, snatched the younger again.

"Taehyun was literally here yesterday." Calmly answered, Soobin responded to Beomgyu's another temper tantrum without looking away from his notes.

"He'll be here tomorrow, hyung. It's only for today." Kai added just like how he added a liter of fuel to the fire Beomgyu was trying to build and camp with.

"Okay first of all, 'only for today' is a big fat ass lie, and second, you guys know I get dumbed down without him and I've been trying to comprehend this part for the whole hour! I can't understand any explanation except from his, and don't ask me about it, I don't know either!"

"Uhm, ouch?" A playful pained reaction was received from the youngest in the room, dramatically placing his hand on his chest as he looked at Beomgyu with slight dismay.

"Do you even hear yourself? Kai is literally here and he's been helping you out for a while. You're just whining at this point", with a raised brow, the eldest finally took his eyes off from his notes he was highlighting earlier just to look at Beomgyu with a judging stare.

Beomgyu didn't back down though, he clearly didn't care. They've been looking at him like that for a while now. "I'm not whining! Well, yeah maybe I am but we all know there are parts we both don't understand and Taehyun is the only one who knows."

"You have a point. Pointless. Why not get your ass up and try to do it on your own? Taehyun gave you that assignment to try to analyze it yourself. You can't just rely on him forever." Soobin, again, calmly disagreed with his nonchalant demeanor, although Beomgyu's pitchy whines really distracts him if he's gonna be honest.

"But Ahyoung can? Once, she took Taehyun on break times, then the lunch time was also stolen from us, and then after school too?! She's the second in rank! Why does she even need Taehyun's help?!"

"And Hyuka is literally the next in line yet he asks for Taehyun's help too. BG, you can't just gatekeep the kid. Besides, Taehyun left you on your own for today because he knows you can now handle yourself. Now focus and stop complaining."

Feeling lost of words and excuses, Beomgyu could only groan from Yeonjun's response because he knew at the back of his mind, his friends had a point, and Soobin was right, he was really being pointless.

But you will never hear him admit that, as after a few minutes of rereading the same exact part where he couldn't understand, his brain finally comprehended it even without Kai's help.

But Beomgyu is Beomgyu and he refuses to acknowledge the fact that he was capable on his own because as weird as it may seem, a huge part of him screams for the boy he was whining for.

The sound of the knife hitting the chopping board and the simmer of the boiling water surrounded the kitchen. Yeonjun was preparing the toppings for the food they decided to eat when they opted to take a break.

The food selection was to refresh them for all the studying they just did, yet not even bibim naengmyeon can cool down the searing madness inside of Beomgyu.
