Taehyun ran across the hallway, giggling while Beomgyu chased after him.

"stop Kang Taehyunnnnnn"

"you're gonna flick me-"

"no i won't !! i promise !!"

"then stop chasing me !!"

"fine I'll stop"

Beomgyu stopped, bending down and resting his hands on his knees while panting. Taehyun stopped too and stood against the wall, laughing.

Beomgyu took the opportunity and ran towards Taehyun, trapping him in his arms.

"time for revenge"

Beomgyu flicked Taehyun's head with his fingers making Taehyun gasp because of the sting.

"you said you won't !!!"

"hehe..."

They didn't realise how close they were until they felt each other's breaths on their faces. They stared at each other for sometime only till they heard footsteps and immediately pushed each other away as if nothing happened and they were glad they did.

"stop being annoying hyung"

"whatever"

Both of them walked out of the hallway, relieved. They turned around to check if Hojun and his friends were gone and burst into fits of laughter.

"are you free now ?"

"yeah"

"how about we hang out ?"

"just the two of us ?"

"y-yeah...the others are busy so i thought maybe we could..."

"sure"

Beomgyu said, smiling at Taehyun. Taehyun smiled back but stopped making Beomgyu turn around in confusion.

"i totally forgot"

"what ?"

"i won't go back home today... there's construction going on beside my house so I locked it all up and decided to stay over at Hyuka's..."

Beomgyu looked away, thinking hard if he should invite Taehyun at his house instead. He knew Taehyun has never seen his house but he was still unsure of it.

"we can go to mine...if you want"

"you sure ?"

"yup..."

"okay then !! it'll be my first time visiting your house"

Beomgyu smiled looking at how excited Taehyun was. Taehyun sat in the passenger seat while Beomgyu sat in the driver seat, driving them to his house. Taehyun noticed how Beomgyu's house was far away from uni and it was at an isolated place.

They entered inside and Beomgyu switched on the lights. Taehyun's mouth fell open when he noticed how huge his house was. He had a hint that Beomgyu was rich but not this rich. His eyes wandered around the whole living room that had an insanely high ceiling.

"wow"

Beomgyu stared at Taehyun who's eyes kept examining the things around his house.

"you like it ?"

"a lot"

"I'm glad- i mean...yeah...t-thanks"

They walked inside and Beomgyu showed Taehyun around the kitchen. Taehyun insisted on cooking so Beomgyu let him. He told Taehyun where all the utensils and things were kept and went to his room to change.

Beomgyu walked into the kitchen after a few minutes and stood beside Taehyun.

"need help ?"

"nope... it's almost done"

"alright...i didn't know you were good at cooking too"

"what do you mean by 'too' ??"

'you are already so good at stealing people's hearts-'

"i mean... you're good at other things too... studies and all"

"yeah...well now you know"

They smiled at each other and turned around when they heard Beomgyu's phone ring. Beomgyu walked in the living room and picked up his phone.

Taehyun didn't want to eavesdrop but he could hear everything Beomgyu was saying over the phone and by the conversation, he assumed he was talking to his dad.

Taehyun turned the stove off and walked to the living room to let Beomgyu know the food was ready. He stopped because he noticed it wasn't the right time.

"dad you can't do this to me !! j-just stop all this please...i never signed up for this"

Beomgyu paused, listening to what his dad was saying. Taehyun could see the tense expression Beomgyu's face held and he started wondering what they must be talking about.

"you're unbelievable... I'M YOUR FUCKING SON !! I HATE YOU !!"

Beomgyu shouted before throwing the phone across the room. Taehyun flinched and watched Beomgyu. He watched him as he slowly broke down into tears, falling back on the couch. Beomgyu held his head in his hands, crying.

He didn't realise Taehyun was watching him until he felt a hand on his shoulder. He lifted his head up and saw Taehyun whose face was filled with worry.

Beomgyu couldn't help but cry more. Taehyun caressed his cheek and Beomgyu gave in to the touch, crying louder. Taehyun stepped closer, pressing Beomgyu's head in his stomach while ruffling his hair constantly.

"it's alright..."

Beomgyu wrapped his hands around Taehyun's torso, crying into his stomach. Taehyun bent down and sat down on his knees, looking in Beomgyu's teary eyes. Seeing someone else cry always made Taehyun cry too and it was nothing different this time.

He tried his best to hold back his tears from falling and cupped Beomgyu's face. He wiped his tears with his thumb and kept staring into his eyes.

"it'll be alright hyung... you're so strong... I'm always with you okay ? you can always rely on me"

Beomgyu nodded and pulled Taehyun in a hug. They remained like that for a couple of minutes before Beomgyu pulled away, wiping his tears.

"I'm so sorry..."

"you don't have to be sorry for expressing yourself hyung... I'll never judge you"

Beomgyu smiled and they stood up, walking to the dining room. Taehyun looked around for spoons and walked to a cabinet.

"Don't open it !!"

Before Taehyun could even hold the knob of the drawer, Beomgyu stopped him. Taehyun furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

"it's... it's not there..."

Taehyun wondered why Beomgyu was overreacting. He would've closed the drawer back if they weren't here. Beomgyu didn't have to stop him like there was hell of a treasure hidden inside those.

Taehyun sat down on the chair in front of Beomgyu and they started eating. They ate in silence as Taehyun considered Beomgyu might not want to talk right now, though he kept looking around, still stunned by the aesthetic of Beomgyu's house.

He noticed there were quite lot of cabinets all around the house, including the living room and the hallway that led to the rooms. His eyes landed on a certain cabinet he noticed was slightly opened and squinted his eyes, trying to see what's inside.

Beomgyu caught Taehyun and turned around, following his gaze. He noticed what Taehyun was trying to see and stared at Taehyun for a while before going back to eating without saying a word.
