Beomgyu ran to his apartment building. The bag of gummies he bought was gripped tightly with his right hand. When he felt like he couldn't run anymore, he stopped in his tracks and hunched over with his hands on his knees. He was breathing hard.

Maybe Beomgyu should have played sports instead of video games. He thought to himself how out of shape he was.

After a couple minutes of catching his breath, he looks around to make sure no one was following him and then he started to walk. He doesn't live too far away from his apartment and running made the distance seem shorter.

When Beomgyu arrives at his apartment he quickens his pace. He lives on the 2nd floor so running the flight of stairs instead of taking the elevator was not only faster but also not hard to do.

Beomgyu was fumbling with the key when he approached his door to his apartment. As he enters he walks towards the kitchen, drops his bag of gummies on the counter and he takes a deep breath. He calmed down but that doesn't last long because that's when he finally starts to think about what happened at the convenient store.

He ran a hand through his hair then covered his face with both hands. He didn't know what to do besides to do the most irrational thing.

He screamed.

Why? Because it's Choi Beomgyu. You can't expect anything less from him when it comes to reactions.

"Choi Beomgyu what the fuck?!"

Soobin yelled from inside his room. A couple seconds later Beomgyu hears his brother open the bedroom door and storms out. Soobin lost count how many times he was woken up from his brother's unnecessary loud noises.

"Why are you yelling at—" he squints and looks at the time on the microwave then continues, "three in the god damn morning?" Soobin dreadfully asks when he comes closer to his menace of a brother who seems to not be capable on learning how to be quiet when necessary.

Beomgyu is 21 years old and he just had his first gay panic. Well he had crushes and attractions before but he never experienced it this intense.

Beomgyu didn't know know how to verbally explain what he was feeling so he expressed it by freaking out again.

"Beomgyu what the fuck is wrong?"

Beomgyu threw his hands in the air, "I don't know!"

Soobin groaned.

"Beomgyu," he looked at his little brother with tired eyes. "Since it seems that you aren't in any real danger, can you please explain to me why you screamed," he asked calmly. Two nights in a row he has been woken up from his brother's loudness but he will talk about the issue rationally this time.

"But I am in danger!"

Soobin glared at his brother.

Maybe Beomgyu was in actual danger so his gaze softened. But before he could respond Beomgyu continued.

Beomgyu dramatically put his hand over his heart, "My heart feels abnormal! Am I dying!?"

"What does that even mean!?" Soobin was growing impatient.

Forget being rational Soobin wants Beomgyu get straight to the point. He just wants Beomgyu to fully explain what the heck was wrong so he could go back to sleep but Beomgyu being Beomgyu, he assumes he won't get a thorough answer anytime soon if Beomgyu keeps up with this charade.
