NEVERLAND (taegyu)

chapter 4 : feelings

Two weeks passed by and they still haven't gotten to their destination. Beomgyu was nervous because it was taking them too long.

He was chilling in his cabin while reading a book. Meanwhile Taehyun was outside sitting on a barrel watching the ocean.

"Watch out!" shouted Seungmin.
Taehyun looked up and when he noticed something was falling down on him, he quickly jumped away.
"Fuck! What if it hit you?! Beomgyu would kill me!"
"How was I supposed to know you were going to drop that down?" asked Taehyun.
"Maybe if you'd do something useful and stop just sitting here doing absolutely nothing all the time!"
Others heard angry Seungmin and rushed to check what's happening.

When Beomgyu noticed all the noise, he confusely looked at the door and put his book down. He walked out of the cabin and saw Seungmin yelling at Taehyun.

Kai was standing behind Taehyun holding his arm to comfort him.
"Seungmin just shut up already!" yelled Kai.
"What the hell is going on?" asked Beomgyu.
"Why isn't he doing anything? We all have to work, but he ain't doing shit! He's useless here!" said Seungmin angrily.
"He doesn't have to do shit."
"Oh, I thought you treat all your crewmates equally."
"But unlike you he didn't ask to be here. You're all here voluntarily if I'm not mistaken."
Everyone remained silent and showed their respect to Beomgyu. Seungmin felt embarrassed, so he growled and left.
Beomgyu pulled Taehyun closer to him and told him to inside the cabin.
"What are you looking at? Go back to work!"
Everyone went back to their duties and Beomgyu walked after Taehyun.
He closed the door of the cabin and looked at the sad red head.
"Don't be upset. You don't have to do anything."
"But I think Seungmin was right... I am useless here. You all work and do productive things and I just watch."
"I mean, if you want to do something of course you can. You can help Kai and Hyunjin, they're your friends, right?"
"I guess so..."
And he sadly left the cabin.
Beomgyu felt so bad for him. Taehyun being everything but happy is the last thing Beomgyu wants.
He also still couldn't get the thoughts about Neverland out of his head, so he decided to talk to Yeonjun.

"Sooo... "
Yeonjun sighed and gave Beomgyu an annoyed face.
"Sorry! Jeez."
Yeonjun wasn't responding, so he took the map out of his pocket.
"Where do you think we are now?" asked Beomgyu.
"Somewhere around here."
Beomgyu frozed and looked at Yeonjun in disbelief.
"You hold that map like this?"
Yeonjun looked at him confusely and nodded.
Beomgyu facepalmed and laughed sarcastically.
"You were holding it upside-down the whole time you idiot! We wasted weeks on going the wrong direction!"
Yeonjun felt disappointed in himself. He took the map back and sighed.
"I can't read that map perfectly unlike you. I'm trying my best using your instructions but I'm sorry, I promise this won't happen again."
Beomgyu wanted to say something more but when he looked at Yeonjun he instantly regret yelling at him. He just nodded, patted his shoulder and left.

"Why do you look so upset?" asked Taehyun.
Beomgyu turned behind to face him.
"It's nothing. Did you talk with Kai and Hyunjin?"
"Yeah, they showed me how the sail works."
Beomgyu gave him a sweet smile.
"And have you talked to others yet?" asked Beomgyu.
"No, not really. Only to Soobin but I don't know... I guess I'm scared to approach others."
"Don't be scared. Only person you and they should be scared of is me."
Taehyun faintly smiled and scratched his arm nervously.
"Is everything fine?"
"Of course. Why?"
"Just asking. I'm free today, you can be with me."
"And what are we going to do? I'm so bored."
"I was reading a book before, maybe you could pick one and read."
"What books do you have?"
"Come with me and see."
