CHAPTER 24: No more Secrets

(includes the mentions of murder, death)

The next day, Beomgyu didn't attend uni because something came up. Taehyun was the last one to leave the class. Or at least that's what he thought. He was hurriedly packing his stuff because he wanted to meet Beomgyu.

He grabbed his bag and hung it around his shoulder and turned around. He paused when he heard a voice.

"hi there Taehyun...no wait- what was it ? hyuniee"

"what do you want Hojun ?"

Hojun smirked and walked closer to Taehyun. Taehyun didn't step back and kept his eyes focused on Hojun.

"what I'm gonna tell you is gonna open your eyes...and you're never gonna see Beomgyu the same way ever again"

"you really think i have time for this ?"

"I'm not gonna force you... I'm just gonna tell you something...and see what you think"

Taehyun sighed and put his bag down on the table. Hojun's smirk grew wider and he stepped even closer to Taehyun.

"looks like he didn't tell you about his secrets yet"

"get to the point !"

"did he tell you about your parents ? do you know who killed them ?"

Taehyun's heart ached on hearing the mention of his parents' death. He was always sensitive to the topic because he blamed himself for not being able to save his parents even though he was just eleven years old.

"what do you know ?!"

"i know who killed them...."

Taehyun's face turned pale. He didn't want to believe Hojun at all but then he remembered how Beomgyu's father recognised him. He remembered how Beomgyu tried to avoid the topic every time they talked about it.

"i guess you've already gotten a hint now....so...i was wondering if you'd like to switch teams instead"

Hojun ran his finger against Taehyun's jaw and traced it on his lips. Taehyun stood still, still trying to process whatever he had heard.

"I'll give you all my money and we're gonna have a great life together"

Hojun whispered and Taehyun gulped, trying his best not to show his tears. He shifted his gaze to Hojun's face and held his wrist. Hojun proudly smirked, assuming he won Taehyun.

"i knew you had a thing for me... Beomgyu doesn't deserve you anyway- OW"

Hojun fell down, holding his crotch when Taehyun kicked him.

"mother. fucking. asshole."

Taehyun grabbed his bag and walked out of the room. As soon as he stepped out, he drove to his house. He entered inside and went straight to the bathroom.

He washed his face a number of times and stood still, staring into the mirror. There was a whole war going inside his head. Was Hojun telling the truth ? If not, then why was Beomgyu trying to hide it ? And if it was the truth...then was all of it fake ?

Was everything they ever had just a lie ? Taehyun needed his answers. He wiped his tears and picked up his keys, driving to Beomgyu's house. He knew Beomgyu told him not to come to his house without telling him but that wasn't something he cared about right now.

He rang the doorbell impatiently. Beomgyu opened the door and smiled.

"i told you I'd pick you up-"
