15| it hurts. what? my heart.

"let's have dinner shall we? the steak should be well-rested by now," dae-hyun smiled as he pulled out a seat for beomgyu. 

taehyun's mouth was slightly parted as the gravity of the situation got to him. 

beomgyu is marrying my brother. and daehyun actually likes him. 

"hyung what are you wait for? come and take a seat!" dae-hyun called out, snapping taehyun out of his thoughts. taehyun slowly dragged himself over, pulling out a seat for himself opposite his brother. 

"i'll go plate the food and bring them over," dae-hyun smiled, before walking off. 

taehyun wanted to bury himself six feet under rather than be here. 

beomgyu's going to be my brother-in-law. 

the tension in the dining area was palpable. taehyun could feel beomgyu's piercing gaze on him and he made no move to look back.

beomgyu could feel himself yearn to touch taehyun, be in the man's strong embrace and kiss him senseless. he took his time admiring...his boyfriend? they hadn't put labels, actually they didn't get the time to define their relationship. but beomgyu was confident that they loved each other. 

he believed that those four days he spent in bliss with taehyun smothering kisses all over him and whispering sweet nothings in his ear weren't a lie. he believed that he was the most precious thing to taehyun when the bodyguard treated him like he was the only person in his world. he trusted in taehyun's love when the bodyguard who never spoke poured his heart and soul into clearing up misunderstandings with him. 

they never needed to say those words but right now all beomgyu wanted to hear was taehyun saying he loved him. he desperately wanted to reassure himself that taehyun would come back for him, fight for him and keep him forever. 

"taehyun do you still–" 

"alright one plate and for you and the other other is for taehyun," dae-hyun smiled as he placed the scrumptious plates of steak and pistachio puree in front of them. 

taehyun thanked the gods internally for not making his life even more miserable than it was already. he knew the moment beomgyu uttered those few words hesitantly, what the man wanted to hear. 

and taehyun couldn't give it to him. he couldn't do that to dae-hyun no matter how much he wants to say it out loud. 

"beomgyu hyung you're so silent today. usually you are very extroverted," dae-hyun joked light-heartedly. 

beomgyu flashed the best smile he could possibly muster, "what can i say your brother intimidates me." 

dae-hyun chuckled, "hyung is literally a total softie underneath the tough exterior. right hyung?" 

taehyun continued munching on his steak, not commenting on it. but beomgyu wasn't going to give up. 

you don't want to talk to me? fine. i'll just force you to. 

"daehyun-ah i didn't know you had a brother! he's handsome just like you!" beomgyu spoke sweetly. 

beomgyu stretched out his hand across the table, "kang taehyun was it? it's nice to meet you!" 

taehyun glanced from beomgyu's outstretched hand to daehyun's eyes. his brother threw him the "what-are-you-waiting-for-please-don't-embarrass-me-and-shake-his-hand" look on his face.
