Chapter 30:

Yeonjun sighed and was about to go upstairs when his mother yelled. "Stop! I need to talk to you"

Yeonjun nodded.
"Where did you go?"
"To the amusement park"
"that's true. with?"
"A friend"
"which family? a new friend? businessmen? government officials? entertainment industry?"
"none. he shouldn't be identified by his family"
"now you're talking back?"
"mother, I don't want to talk about this"
"well then, whoever that friend of yours is, I don't want you to talk to him again"
"I'll do what I want to!"
"I'll do what I want to too then, Choi Beomgyu will have to suffer I guess"
"How do you know his name?"
Yeonjun's mother scoffed.

"You won't see him again"
"I won't, just don't do anything to him"
Yeonjun walked to his room. He didn't answer Beomgyu's calls.

Yeonjun stayed home for the next week, Beomgyu became curious he used to visit F4's room daily to get a notice about Yeonjun, but Yeonjun was never there and the other boys were forbidden from telling anything to Beomgyu.

Beomgyu should be happy, his bully was not around in the school, he should've lived a peaceful college life. But it wasn't that way, Beomgyu was starting to get curious everyday. He even tried to text Yeonjun, he hasn't ever replied to Yeonjun's texts, and now that he opened the text box, there was atleast one text for every day.

Beomgyu was getting anxious, why would Yeonjun disappear all of a sudden? was he playing with Beomgyu all this time?

Beomgyu was up on the roof again, looking down. He heard steps, some familiar steps. Beomgyu smiled, "Soobin hyung, you're here", he said without turning back.

"Missing Yeonjun?"
"Not particularly"
Soobin chuckled. "Don't worry, he'll find his way out"
Beomgyu nodded. Both boys noticed the hustle as they looked down the railing.

Beomgyu looked at Soobin as he noticed Yeonjun walking in. Soobin sighed and looked at Beomgyu, "he is back"

Yeonjun looked up to notice the two boys looking down at him while the other students were surrounding yeonjun.

Soobin said, "try not to involve yourself with him though. everything will be suspicious. even if you are tempted, give it some time and don't go to him"
beomgyu nodded, "I'm just glad that he is fine, no one misses him anyways"

soobin smiled and patted beomgyu's head before leaving to F4's cabin.

Beomgyu was in class, the students despised him like usual but didn't bother him without Yeonjun's guidance.

Jungwon, who was sitting beside Beomgyu, was dozing off. Beomgyu said, "Taehyun, didn't you have class today?"

Jungwon stood up and looked around, he looked back at beomgyu who had his lips curled inward, trying not to laugh.

"Oh, Yeonjun hyung!", Jungwon waved. Beomgyu rolled his eyes, "You're trying to use my trick on me?"

Jungwon held Beomgyu's head and made him look towards the door, Yeonjun was talking to some Juniors. Beomgyu gave an embarrassed look to Jungwon.

Beomgyu felt hollow when Yeonjun didn't spare one look at the boy.

Beomgyu walked out of the classroom, walking past Yeonjun. It was breaktime. He went to the canteen and bought some apple pie for himself and ran to the rooftop, tear-marks tracing his footsteps.

Beomgyu sat on the ground hugging his legs, getting support from the wall. He filled his mouth with the pie.

"Why are you crying choi beomgyu?"

"What is even wrong with you!?"

"Get yourself together!"

Beomgyu yelled with his mouth stuffed. He calmed down after a few minutes and looked at the wall, his lips curved into a smile when he saw the drawing he had made of the f4. Soobin had angelic wings, Kai had sunglasses on, Taehyun's expression were just straight lines, Yeonjun had devil horns on his head. Beomgyu cleaned his tears and picked up the empty packet from the ground.

He dumped it into the bin before going back for the PE class, coincidentally all the seniors were there as well.

Beomgyu went into the football closets to change, he didn't see anyone there so he assumed everyone was in the ground.

Beomgyu rummaged through the jerseys which were hung there and picked up the one numbered "05". He changed his clothes and walked out, trying to find Jungwon.

Jungwon waved his hand from far away and Beomgyu ran towards him. Beomgyu looked around to see everyone looking at him, Beomgyu was confused. Jungwon whispered, "You're wearing someone else's jersey"
"it was the only clean one left, others were stinking!"
"it is soobin hyung's"

Beomgyu looked at the F4, Yeonjun looked away as soon as he saw Beomgyu looking at him.

Soobin smiled, mouthing, "it suits you". Beomgyu smiled back and shrugged, "I don't care. Soobin Hyung thinks I look good"

The boys ran into the field and divided the teams. Fortunately, Soobin was on the same team as Beomgyu and Jungwon, while the other three of F4 were in the opposite team.

Beomgyu has always been good at football, ever since he was a little kid, his dad used to take him to the nearby shattered ground and played with him, he was a passionate world cup fan. Even eunchae knew how to play football as Beomgyu used to make her play with him.

The match started, Beomgyu ran a lot but never got the ball to himself until Jungwon stole it from Taehyun and passed it to him. Beomgyu ran with all his might to the goal post and made the first goal, kai couldn't resist it, being the keeper.

Soobin chuckled brightly as he messed up Beomgyu's hair as Beomgyu smiled like a little retriever.

The ball was with the opposite team again and this time it was with Yeonjun. Beomgyu looked at Soobin who was signalling him to stay away but Beomgyu was too passionate about making another goal. Beomgyu rushed towards Yeonjun and sneaked the ball from one side but another teammate pushed Beomgyu onto the ground.

Beomgyu fell down. The match was stopped. Two vivid faces appeared before the eyelashes sheltered the eyes. Someone yelled his name. That's all Beomgyu remembers.
