Tomorrow's Moon|YEONBIN

Ch8|Late Groceries

"You're back late," Beomgyu frowned, arms crossed at the doorway of the hut the two faeries lived in. Originally, Yeonjun was out to the grocery store in the coexisting part of limbo where modern human society and network took place. Then he bumped into Soobin when he wanted to grab something quick at the cafe on the way back, ending with him being treated by Soobin and having good long conversations.

"So sorry, Beomie! I swear I was coming back early but I saw some brownies and lost track of time." Yeonjun changed up the story a little bit because he knew how much Beomgyu currently despises Soobin.

Beomgyu sighed, the worry and panic from earlier washing away. He's very protective of Yeonjun, you could say, the sweet and adorable pink faerie he's known since they were little faes. Yeonjun who grew attached to objects and creatures too easily, getting lost and confused with overwhelming emotions, and got hurt after being taken advantage of.

Yeonjun's caring and motherly-like behaviour was what brought many to his warmth. He was funny but sentimental, quiet but loud, sweet and sour. He was playful but also needed attention. He put many before himself, forgetting that he should be his first priority that makes him tired and heavy at the end. Which was why he needed someone like Beomgyu who noticed when Yeonjun was burnt out, needing a good laugh or smile, a hug and pats on the back.

Though it didn't sound any different that Yeonjun was distracted by food. Once again.

Yeonjun placed the bag of groceries down and grinned, "Who's hungry?"

With full bellies, they slumped against the wooden chairs, Beomgyu, in a food coma. Beomgyu held his stomach, complaining that it weighed so heavy that he couldn't get up. Yeonjun sighed, already taking the wooden bowls away to the newly installed sink in their home. Before he could start doing the dishes, they heard a knock on their door.

"Yeonjun! Beomgyu!" A voice called through the cracks of the door and Yeonjun slowly made his way over. When he opened the door, he was met with a familiar face and a blaze of red hair and maroon eyes.

"Tae? What are you doing here?" Yeonjun frowned, it was a bit late already, not expecting any visitors at this time. He moved to the side so Taehyun was able to pass through the doorframe into the homey hut.

Taehyun stood up as Yeonjun sat back down on the chair, a curious look on his face, ignoring Beomgyu's groans.

"I need your help."

That was how it should've gone, Yeonjun helping out Taehyun with whatever he needed.

Except a demon got involved.
