As he finally changes and climbs back into his bed, though, Beomgyu finds himself overcome with the slow-building fire that's begun to tickle at the inside of his chest, he sighed as his head dropped on his soft pillow, mind going back to a specific red-haired,
For the past few days Beomgyu couldn't help but think about him and that new friend of his, he knew Taehyun was not as naive as he looked, if he said the young brunette was nice, then he was.
And that's what made Beomgyu worried.
How nice was he?
To the point that makes him witness the young lad's timid giggles? Hold his delicate soft hands and join them with his? Wrap his thick muscular arms around his slender wai-
No!
Beomgyu shakes his head aggressively, now seated crossing his legs on his bed,
What if that was it?
It could even be more...
Beomgyu started leaning back leisurely, making the back of his head come in contact with his snug bed's headboard,
He wouldn't want that for his friend,
But Yeonjun is also his friend, isn't he?
He wouldn't care less about him concerning such a matter.
But Taehyun...
Could it be...?
"No way.." Beomgyu shrieked, startled by his thought, his eyes widened as shock crossed his face, his mouth dropping open slightly,
"I...I like him" He peeped under his breath, eyebrows raised still, and a slack expression on his face.
"I like him!" Beomgyu exclaimed loudly this time, breaking his surprised expression and allowing his mouth to curve up into a smile,
And that's how his night went, rolling timidly on his bed, face flushed into his pillow, feet swinging in the air along with a series of shy giggles.
His jealousy was long forgotten.

Beomgyu's chin rested on his palm, viewing the broad window above his seatmate's head.
He observed the dappled sun that shone through the trees, creating mysterious shadows here and there.
The blue sky was dotted with fluffy white clouds that drifted lazily in the gentle breeze. The blazing midday sun shone relentlessly on the city. His breathtakingly beautiful seatmate's features shimmered in the heat of the midday sun.
Taehyun peered his eyes at Beomgyu's direction,
"Choi, you're creeping the shit out of me, listen to the teacher!" he whisper-yelled, leaning closer to him,
The addressed male tilted his head even more, wearing a wide grin on his face, eyes not moving from the younger's,
"Isn't the weather great today?" He singsongs in his ears, confusing the younger more,
"Yes...so much, now focus! you're being weird"
"I'm not"
Taehyun doesn't need to take a glance to know that the older has changed his position, forearms crossed on the desk, with his cheek pressed into them,
"I just love it here"
"The class?"
"Hell no!" Taehyun just chuckled with his breathy voice at the other,
"I mean, I love sunny days, They would bring rays with the strength to shine through curtains, as if lightning had blossomed into the most steady of comforting glows, and having a great friend around, what else can I ask for?"
Taehyun kept his pupils fixed on the latter absent-mindedly, amazed by how the older's vivacious and bright personality reflected his liking as well,
He likes the light
He likes it bright
Then, They, indeed are different.
_
"Let's go, my buddy" As always, Beomgyu slid his arm around the younger's narrow shoulders,
Their peaceful lunch break, again.
Taehyun made himself comfortable on the floor as always, soon later Beomgyu joined him,
It was 1 pm at the moment, and as usual, Beomgyu handed the younger a small-sized plastic bag, the latter accepted it recognizing it as snacks the older bought him,
He smiled softly to the lad by his side as his eyes wandered through the stuff in the plastic, nothing much, just a variety of snacks the younger loved,
Taehyun munched on his bread when cut off by a sudden question coming out of the said Choi.
"Taehyun, what values are most important to you?"
The addressed boy moved his eyes away from the dark-haired male, taking his time to find his awaited answer,
And Beomgyu could wait for him for ages, his brown orbs gleamed staring at the lad next to him,
His soft small hums sounded like a lullaby to Beomgyu's ears, the way his round sparkling eyes focused on the floor while he was considering the question, most importantly, his lips, the way he chewe-
"People who love and take care of me"
Beomgyu was not the happiest being pulled out of his trance, but soon then, he hears the lad's answer, heart-warming as always,
"Then...how do you like being taken care of?" His question rolls off his tongue easily, taking in the breathtaking sight of the younger,
"I don't know, just the way you do"
And that was Beomgyu's last string.
He knew he liked the younger, but the animalistic race his heartbeat took, confirmed a piece of additional information for him,
Screw it, I love him.
For the past 3 months since he met the younger, his heartbeat would keep a steady rhythm until the thought of him arrives, then its tempo raises into a new genre altogether.
Beomgyu's eyes were now on the one and only ethereal creature by his side, his Tyun,
He was ethereal from the depth of his eyes to the gentle expressions of his soothing voice.
He was ethereal from his generous opinions to the touch of his hand upon Beomgyu's.
Beomgyu loved everything about him,
loved the way his voice quickened when he sparkled with a new idea, or was so enjoying one of his that he lost himself for a moment and quite forgot the mask he wore for others.
So he gave him his heart and kept his safe, that's the way it was.
Taehyun stared back at the lad in front of him, he has always known that the Choi was handsome, but A handsome man's beauty starts from his hearty loving soul and radiates from there to create his final form,
And that just made so much sense with Beomgyu's case, he had the purest soul, he was the perfect friend,
The friend who believes in him, believes in any wind or the face of any rumor. He's the one who makes the cradle for his soul, the very fabric that keeps Taehyun warm.
The friend who...
Taehyun's eyes widen at the realization, he remains frozen as a slack expression escalated on his face,
Who...
Kisses him...??
