The radiant sun freed its dazzling rays, gleaming across the loaded large town, reaching the floor of a rooftop, lighting up the already sparkling doe eyes of a certain lad,

Body still not moving, Taehyun slowly closes his eyelids, allowing himself to indulge once more in that selfish desire churning in his gut,

He leaned in, embracing the warmth of a pair of supple lips against his own, vision blurry as if a fog has clouded his mind and dissipated all at once,

Beomgyu brought up his arm, wrapping it around Taehyun's slim waist, watching as the boy melted into the kiss, touch as smooth as silk, their lips moving against each other in a slow-burning flow,

A heavenly pleasant oriental scent made its way through Taehyun's nostrils as he kissed the older, he tilted his head to the side inhaling the aromatic scent of the other male, he wouldn't mind being tucked in his arms for the rest of the day,

But again, that was his best friend he was kissing,

Taehyun flushed his eyes open, his eyebrows rose in realization, they slowly pulled out, lips gradually separating, the younger didn't know what to do, he stared at the older with the same shocked expression drawn on his face,

'Thud...Thud...Thud'

The redhead felt his heart beating heavily, fast, and ready to explode, with each second passing and he was still not budging from his place, staring right at the older's eyes, his heart thudded louder.

'Thud...Thud...Thud...Thud'

Taehyun's mind was clouded with inexplicable thoughts as the annoyingly loud noise of his heart echoed in his ears,

'Thud...Thud...Thud...Thud'

He can't take it anymore...

'Thud... Thud... Thud'

He can't...

'Thud... Th-'

The young lad stood up in a blink of an eye, and barged out of the rooftop, leaving a messy Beomgyu crossing his legs on the cold floor.

_

Taehyun did not know how to act after what happened earlier, even after a good hour, his mind was still fogged with the thoughts of the previous incident,

Everything from the texture of Beomgyu's skin to the heat of his hands branding him was heaven to one unaccustomed to the sensuality of his world,

Screw it.

It was normal for him to like it, wasn't it?

Taehyun didn't want the impulsive behavior to open doors of an unfamiliar awkwardness in their friendship, They can always figure out things later,

They always did.

Setting up his mind, the younger's feet stamping to the ground, he got up and made his way to a vending machine,

His index finger brushed against the solid glass, eyes wandering between the drinks positioned inside, he let out a long hum from his lips, signaling the slight hesitation taking on his mind,

His focused features broke into a smile at the familiar bottle his eyes came across, delicate long fingers rushed their way inserting the coin,

He grabbed the lemon juice bottle that has just rolled out of the machine, he and Beomgyu are friends, and nothing can change that, not even the impulsive behavior of the older,

He halts his steps as he eyes the sweating Choi from a distance, a white towel wrapped around his neck, his palm leading the fabric to brush against his smiling face despite the clear tired expression on it,

Taehyun's eyes travel from the young lad's face to his neck, his elbows, and to finally reach his hand, his long delicate fingers wrapped around a lemon juice bottle, the younger stares down at the identical item in his hand,

After all, Beomgyu did not need him the same way he did.

He couldn't help but avert his gaze to the short figure facing Beomgyu, it was not his first time seeing that girl, hence why he recognized her as the older's fangirl,

Ever since Beomgyu's first game as a member of the basketball team, he has been getting famous among the students, especially girls, who would always offer him drinks and snacks.

Taehyun felt his steps unintentionally taking an opposite direction, leaving the grass field into wherever his feet led him,

His rhythm got faster with each step he took, loud bangs heard echoing in the nearly-empty cafeteria coming from his stamps, but he still couldn't stop, not with the muffled voices in his head,

Fog took hold of his vision, as he felt a shoulder bumping aggressively into his, he stared furiously at the boy who has just apologized and started leaving,

But an apology was not what he wanted at the moment, he can recall himself shouting some words at the fading silhouette, but not exactly what it was, probably something about the common "look where you're going".

Taehyun's steps came to an end as he felt the fog has clouded his mind, he slammed his back against the wall and lowered his body softly against it, reaching the floor, he hugged his knees and stared down at his lap,

"You seriously thought such a manipulative liked you?"

The mocking sentence awakened something in Taehyun, the redhead's eyes widened in anger as he lifted them looking for the source of the voice, and the first thing that came into his vision was a group of friends in front of him,

He eyed a brunette of them furiously, as the latter stared back at him, he had the nerve to.

Taehyun got up in the blink of an eye and grabbed the student's collar, a punch made its way to his right cheek knocking him down to the floor, but that didn't stop the redhead, nothing could at the moment.

His fists moved on their own as he kneeled in front of the unknown brunette,

His own suspicions were enough

And certainly did not need anyone else's.
