Swan's Love-TaeGyu ☘︎

21- Like a Hurricane

Beomgyu opened the door of the house, it was quiet and the only sound to be heard was the sound of someone's footsteps.

Usually it was just him alone in the house when he got back from school but today was different, there was someone in the house.

He closed the door behind him soundly and stepped inside the house, looking around but saw nothing.

Weird

To say that he was scared isn't the best word, instead let's just say that he was fearful.

His parents are always outside of the house, never there to check on their son. And now that one of them is in the house, Beomgyu is fearful, fearing the reason as to why they are at home.

But he still walks upstairs and stops in front of the room that the sounds are coming from, his dad's office.

His heart stops once he hears the sound of a glass shuttering, he stands on the same spot frozen, his hands start shaking and sweating, he fiddles with his fingers, deciding on whether to go inside or not.

A few seconds later, his dad screams from the other side of the room and he bites his lip nervously, he wishes that he didn't come home earlier.

At least not when his dad is home and angry.

Beomgyu had always been scared of loud sounds, especially the sound of glass breaking and the yells of someone who is angry, it triggered something deep inside him.

"What do you mean?! Why the hell did that piece of trash cancel the plan? Why the hell are you not doing your job properly, do you want to get fired so bad??" his dad yells at the person on the other side of the phone.

And then he throws his phone at the wall, or at least that's what Beomgyu interpreted.

He turns his back and decides that it's better to just leave the house right now, maybe call Yeonjun and ask him to hang out with him, but he can't, they haven't been talking for a while because of the fight they had over Taehyun.

So the only option he has is to just go to his room and be invisible.

"Beomgyu, were you listening to my conversation, huh?!"

The sound stops him and his face turns pale, sure he doesn't give a shit about his parents but it's a different story when his dad is mad.

He sighs, making sure he doesn't look scared and turns around, his face as cold as ice but his inside is burning like fire from hell.

"I just happened to wander around and take a tour around the house, i'm not interested in your business shit, father" he makes sure to emphasize on father, a manic smile forming on his face.

"When will you drop your childish act and act like a true Choi? The company will soon be handed over to you and I don't trust you with your foolish personality" Beomgyu can clearly see his father's eyes darkening and his tone becoming more angry.

All because of him.

"Well that's too bad for you, this is the child you made and you'll have to get used to it, not like you can make another slave at this old age of yours, am I right?" he tilts his head, his eyes curious and evil at the same time, he likes to know that he is the only person that can make his dad so angry and fumed like this.

"You do know that one day the company will be yours and you will take all the responsibility, why do you think you are even here at this point? Beomgyu, you are my son and you do not have any other duty nor job but to take over the company, you wouldn't be my son if I didn't need you" it's his dad's turn to smirk and look down on his son even though Beomgyu is taller.

"Dream on father, I will not be your pet, you can not force me into being your little slave, dream on"

"Get out of my face, my day gets worse as I see your face"

"Glad to know that, at least we have one thing in common, your whole existence annoys me too" Beomgyu shoots him one last smile and walks away and enters his room.

"That brat, I know well how to make you do what I wish"

+×+

Beomgyu closes the door behind him and heaves a sigh, that old man never fails to make his blood boil and anger him.

"Over my dead body will I let you toy me around" he mutters to himself and sits on the bed.

Taking out his phone, he goes through his contacts and sees a message of Taehyun asking him whether he got home safely or not, he smiles at the text and responds back, saying that he is at home.

Thinking about him and Taehyun makes him smile, he feels like a kid who got his favorite toy for his birthday and honestly it's a good feeling.

But he should know better than anyone else that they can never get together. He always makes sure no one gets too close to him after all, he is like a hurricane ready to destroy anyone near him.

Taehyun must not know about his feelings.

He is okay with being close to Taehyun but watching him from afar, he is okay with Taehyun just thinking of him as a friend, they can only be that close to each other.

But when he remembers the night Heeseung and Taehyun almost kissed, he doesn't want Heesueng to be the one for Taehyun. He doesn't want them to become a thing.

Beomgyu hits his head to the head board behind him. Everything is becoming difficult for him and he doesn't know what to do, on one hand his parents pressuring him and on the other hand his relationship with his friends and especially Taehyun.

He is well aware of the fact that one day if not today, the company will be handed to him and he will be the CEO, he doesn't want to think about it, he doesn't want to be forced into doing something he clearly doesn't want.

But there is nothing he can do about it, his future and life was predicted for him even before he was born, he is destined to be the CEO of the Choi Company and marry a woman and even worse than that, have an offspring.

How is he supposed to tell them that he is not interested in girls? He likes boys, he can never imagine himself with a girl, never.

"Hyung, please help me, I can't get through this alone anymore"

Tears start to run down his face, it's uncomfortable but he lets it. His sobs soon turn into actual cry and he just cries and cries. There is nothing else he can do but cry about it and later, forget it.

People always see him as lucky, as someone with a silver spoon in his mouth and a good future, after all he is the son of the Choi Company's boss.

But they never see inside all that luck and money, they don't see the dark side of being his dad's son, they don't see what's actually going inside his house.

They never see it.

And later that night, without realizing it, Beomgyu goes to sleep while holding his teddy bear in his arms and with wet eyes and cheeks.

I try to see where the end will be, but

In the mirror, a maze

Protection and control are locking me up

Even if it hurts, you can't complain anymore

A/N
How was the chapter?

Guess which lyric is that last paragraph?

His dad seriously annoys the hell out of me, that old man should just die.

A little more about Beomgyu, my boy is not a bad person, he is just stuck in his past.
