Chapter 36

The fact that Yeonjun was becoming a better person for beomgyu was a fact that made beomgyu feel great even at his lowest but then, considering recent instances, beomgyu doubted that Yeonjun is actually changing.

Isn't he just faking it for when beomgyu is around? Is he really developing those empathetic emotions or is it really just him faking it to fool beomgyu? Beomgyu felt pathetic that he was still doubting the boy.

Beomgyu woke up and finally prepared to be back to studying after his long long vacation. He was on his way, early in the morning when he spotted the boy he had been thinking about all night.

He was in the proper uniform, for the first time ever, Beomgyu had thought. He was buying flowers, and the smile on his face was very polite, something so rare, others would have thought but for beomgyu, it had been a constant view, something frequent.

Beomgyu made himself hidden, so that Yeonjun won't catch him staring and ran towards the main gate as soon as Yeonjun turned around. Beomgyu ran straight to the rooftop, that's the place he missed the most, besides, the F4 room, yes, he missed their room, it was very pathetic to feel that way, Beomgyu thought, but he did so.

Beomgyu laid down on the ground and admired the sky.

"Someone's about to cry", Beomgyu hears, as he sees a handkerchief in front of him. He sits up and his eyes trace the hand.

Beomgyu chuckles, "Soobin hyung!"
Soobin smiles at him, "it's good to see you back"

Beomgyu got up, "You're always here, aren't you?"
"Not always, sometimes and miraculously, I always seem to be here when you're here"
"Zero privacy"
"It was my place first, you know"
"You're talking like choi yeonjun"
"I'm talking like who now?"
"Yeonjun hyung"
"Hyung basis?"
"Well, seems right, he is older than all of us"
"I am not talking like him, maybe you just miss him too much"
Beomgyu laughs, "no", he says with a straight face.
"Yeah, lie to someone else, I see straight through you"
Beomgyu sighs. "I feel like a loser!"

"Why? Let me tell you, nobody has been a bigger winner than you. You're literally taming an asshole!"
"Come on hyung."
"Alright, why?"
"Because I think, it's very loser to have developed feelings for Yeonjun"
"Why? I don't see anything loser about it"
"You're a good friend you know, you might curse him a lot and say ill stuff, which is totally true, but you're a good friend of his"
"Thank you beomgyu, can we now answer my question?"
"Because, I used to hate him"
"With extreme intensity that too, so, it's pretty obvious for you to have positive feelings for him with similar intensity. Things have changed Beomgyu, he has changed, you too, have changed. He used to think about killing you, and now, he would kill anyone who thinks of even bad mouthing you! Choi Yeonjun has changed a lot and it's not a pretend play, he had deep down fixed a lot of wires in his head. He's not playing."
Beomgyu nodded, "I feel guilty for doubting him too"
"That is pretty normal too, Beomgyu, after all that you've been through, it's normal to doubt him, but you cannot unsee his efforts, the boy would bring constellations for you, if he could"
Beomgyu scoffed at the silly but meaningful comment and nodded, "I'd do the same, I want to make Yeonjun feel loved too"
"Then do it, he's a little child, he needs love, a lot of it"
"Thank you soobin, you're really special to me. I wouldn't have survived this school if not for you, I'll always be grateful I got to know you"
"Likewise, you came in when I had no muse and you taught me that I cannot stick to the past for my muse, we, move on", both boys smiled.

The next moment, Soobin's phone rang, Beomgyu peeked in to see it was Taehyun, Soobin answered it and there was a lot of yelling from the other side. Not sounding too fun.

"Hyung, you should come to our room, Yeonjun hyung is acting crazy, he gathered the whole school outside to give an apologetic speech and someone is literally beating him up and he is doing nothing about it"
"What?!"

Soobin ended the call and looked at Beomgyu, "come with me", he said and both boys rushed over to the place.

Soobin dragged the boy who was punching Yeonjun, to the corner and Beomgyu widened his eyes at the scene he sat down beside Yeonjun who had a smile, a sad, repenting one. Beomgyu sighed, "You're crazy, choi yeonjun, you'll seriously have me dying by heart attack", Beomgyu helped Yeonjun up, Yeonjun yelled, "and the reason I won't be troubling any one of you is because I will be troubling choi beomgyu forever!", Beomgyu covered his mouth, "shut up!"

Soobin chuckled and dispersed everyone away. The three of them went inside the room, Beomgyu helped Yeonjun sit. His face was all wounded. Jungwon and Beomgyu talked to each other for a bit before Beomgyu went up to sit beside Yeonjun.

"What are you smiling for?"
"I get to see you"
"Shut up, Choi Yeonjun"

Kai rolled his eyes, "do you guys remember a similar scene from a few months ago? When beomgyu was the injured one and choi yeonjun's eyes were piercing through him and they both had a moment and-"
"Seems like ages ago", Taehyun interrupted.

"How about we go have lunch?", Jungwon suggested.
"Ofcourse baby", Taehyun replied and the others looked at them with widened eyes, Taehyun shrugged and followed jungwon outside, kai and soobin traced behind soon, leaving the lovebirds as kai said, alone.

Beomgyu opened the first aid box, "You should hire a full time care taker, rich boy"
"Will you be my full time care-"
"Shut up"
"You're hurting me, that's the third time you've told me to shut up today"
"I'm sorry"
"Did you really say that?"
"You can't stand me being nice to you?"
Beomgyu cleaned the wounds, earning little noises from Yeonjun.

"It's surprising but, I would like it, you being nice to me"

After cleaning his face, before applying the medicine, Beomgyu looked at Yeonjun, he shifted his position in a way that he was facing Yeonjun and held Yeonjun's face in his hands. Yeonjun widened his eyes, "what-"
"Why, did you let him beat you?"
"As a compensation for when I had his friend beaten up"
"You worry me, choi yeonjun"
"I don't wish to. Tell me what to do?"
"Just, stay out of troubles, and don't get hurt"
"I'll try my best to"
"and if you do get hurt.."
"Yes?"
"Come to me"
"I'll get hurt"
"Hey!"
"I mean, alright, I got it!"
"I'll be nice to you", Beomgyu said, bringing his face close to Yeonjun's.

The next moment, Beomgyu was placing little, soft pecks on all of Yeonjun's wounds, the wounds weren't deep, just swollen and reddened skin, after beomgyu had cleaned them. Beomgyu pulled away, "I'll take care of you", he said.

Yeonjun pouted, as a sign that he was controlling his tears. Beomgyu smiled, "you're a baby"
"Please"
Beomgyu hugged the boy, he heard some sobs. Oh, beomgyu could have never imagined the boy who had given him that terrifying red card one day, had scared the shit out of him in the same room, when they first met, would be letting out happy sobs in his chest one day. But, there they were.
