Dare // Taegyu

23 | Interlude

The couple were now instead cuddled up on Beomgyu's bed, Taehyun's head on Beomgyu's chest as the older played with his hair. They were watching a comedy movie on the older boy's television. Taehyun would let out the cutest little giggles and Beomgyu couldn't suppress the smile on his face each time one slipped out. Taehyun's cuteness was absolutely unbearable to the older boy; he was at peak devastation. He was convinced he spent more time watching the younger boy rather than the movie.

Beomgyu was forced out of his trance by the sound of his phone ringing from his bedside table. He let out a soft groan as he reached over and picked up the device.

"Who is this?.." he lazily asked.

"Come open your front door Beomie boy."

Beomgyu elicited a loud drawn-out groan at the sound of his best friend's voice. "That's what the lock is on there for though. To keep gremlins like you out," he grumbled, upset with the older for ruining his alone time with Taehyun. He heard the younger boy giggle and forgot about Yeonjun for a split second.

That was until the older's loud voice resonated through the speakers again. "Open your door Beomgyuu~ Soobin and Hueningie are here tooo~"

"How great," Beomgyu said, but he didn't sound particularly happy. "How about you three move the party to your house and leave us alone?"

Beomgyu heard Yeonjun scoff on the other side.

"No, let them in hyung~" Beomgyu diverted his attention back to Taehyun, who had spoken up in a soft voice.

"Yeah, listen to your lover boy, Beomie-yah~" Yeonjun's teasing voice rang in Beomgyu's ear.

"Shut up, hyung," Beomgyu said with a pout before hanging up on the older.

Beomgyu threw his phone on the bed and held Taehyun tighter while pulling the boy closer. Beomgyu rolled his eyes when he heard the doorbell ring what seemed like a million times. He didn't bother to go downstairs and answer though, because he knew his dad would get as annoyed as him and decide to open it instead.

And as he expected, hardly a minute later, Beomgyu's door swung open revealing Yeonjun, along with Soobin and Hueningkai at his tail.

"Your savior has arrived," Yeonjun classily said as he sauntered into Beomgyu's room.

Beomgyu scoffed as he sat up along with Taehyun. "Savior?" he asked amusedly.

"Hell yeah, savior," Yeonjun replied as he sat in between Hueningkai's legs. The two tallest males were sitting on the two beanbags Beomgyu had in a corner of his room. "If it weren't for me, Taehyun wouldn't even be here right now, and you'd still be heartbroken and shutting the entire world out," Yeonjun said in a knowing voice.

"Hey, not too much on my bestie now," Kai spoke up in defense of Taehyun. "He would've gotten around to it.. eventually.." He mumbled the last word as he started playing with Yeonjun's hair.

"I heard that?" Taehyun pouted. "But you guys see me here now, don't you?"

"'Cause of me," Yeonjun muttered.

Taehyun scrunched his eyebrows as he opened his mouth to argue, but Soobin spoke up first with a groan, "Enough taegyu talk! Homecoming is soon and we all still need to get our outfits!"

"Can't we do that tomorrow? I really just wanna stay in bed all day," Beomgyu spoke, sounding exasperated.

"Homecoming is literally tomorrow, hyung," Hueningkai deadpanned, pausing his action of raking his fingers through Yeonjun's hair.

Beomgyu's jaw dropped. "It's tomorrow?~" he whined with a pout.

"Yes, Beomgyu. But you were too busy being an angsty teen to notice." Yeonjun shook his head in fake disapproval.

"Tch, be quiet Yeonjun..  So I guess this means we're going to the mall?"
