Heartless || Choi Beomgyu [✓]

37 ~ Lose

After settling the plan with Heeseung, Soobin insisted that everybody got enough rest that night, so as to be completely ready for the next day.

However, no matter how hard he tried, Beomgyu couldn't manage to force himself to sleep. The unrelenting feeling of unrest was still clearly evident, both his heart and mind not allowing him to fall asleep knowing that Y/n wasn't safe.

His eyes wide open as he lay on his side, he could only imagine how scared and alone she must be. It worried him so terribly to wonder if they were treating her humanely, or if she was even eating.

It hadn't crossed anyone's minds to ask Heeseung while he was on the phone, but to Beomgyu, it was unsettling enough that he hadn't offered a comforting word on how safe Y/n was.

After tossing and turning for a few more minutes in vain, he had deduced that it was no use. His eyes were buzzing with the urge to stay open whenever he tried to shut them, and his body felt uncomfortable being stuck in a fixed position, no matter how much he tried to adjust it.

Finally giving in, Beomgyu sat up in his bed, already regretting it for the next day. His feet touched the cold floor, mildly numbing his toes after a few seconds.

He walked out of his room with the intention of going down to the kitchen, but got distracted by something else that caught his eye along the way.

It had become somewhat of a habit of Beomgyu to give more than needed attention to the door of Y/n's room as he passed by it, but it felt different this time, as he knew that he wouldn't be able to make out the faint sound of a pencil scratching against paper if he stuck his ear up against it.

However, that didn't stop him from doing just that.

Out of habit, he tiptoed towards the door slowly.

Had Y/n been there to see such a sight - Beomgyu in his dark blue pyjama set, tiptoeing like a cartoon character in the middle of the night - she would have thanked the universe profusely.

Nevertheless, she wasn't there, Beomgyu was reminded painfully when the only sound reaching his ear was the muffled sound of Soobin's snores from a few doors away.

He softly pushed against the wooden surface, the door swinging open after having not been closed properly upon its previous visit. His eyes were magnetically drawn to the huge window above the bedframe, the focal point of the room becoming more attractive yet with the bright glow of the moon making itself comfortable on the plain bedsheets.

Thanks to this, the room lit up magically, despite it being the middle of the night.

Beomgyu quietly made his way over to the neatly-made bed, softly seating himself right in the middle of the moonlit area of it. He inhaled deeply, imagining that the room smelled just like Y/n; which it didn't, as she had lost all potential original scents when she was made to use unfragranced hygiene products.
