●Childhood Pictures & Bed Full Of Memories●

Beomgyu couldn't lie. He knew he just couldn't when the entire day was fun. It felt homely, strangely enough. 

Beomgyu didn't know that it was possible to feel homely with his ex-boyfriend's family. But he enjoyed it. Taehyun's parents were warm and welcoming, they treated him as their own son. 

This is how their day went; they took a walk after lunch, took a short nap in the afternoon, and they ended up watching a movie while eating dinner. 

Now, that the movie was finally over and it was nine-thirty pm, Beomgyu thought it was time for bed. He had always been an early sleeper since he moved to Japan. He was about to get up, when all of a sudden Mr. Kang entered the living room from his bedroom with a large and a thick picture book in his hands. 

"What is that...?"  Taehyun gulped, hoping that it wasn't something that he thought. 

Mr. Kang proudly showed off the greyish picture book to everyone. "Taehyun's childhood photos!" 

Taehyun's nervous face slowly morphed into mortification. "Please no," He jumped from his place from the couch to grab the photo book from his dad. "Can we not do this? Yeah? Alright, I'll put this back-" But to his dismay, Mr. Kang grabbed it back from him. 

"Don't be a party bomber, bubble." Mr. Kang said, blowing the dust from the surface of the book. 

"Bubble?" Beomgyu asked, looking confused. 

"Yeah, it's his nickname. Everyone in our family to our relatives call him that." Mrs. Kang replied, laying her head on her husband's shoulder when he sat besides her. 

"Is my misery a joke to you all?" Taehyun asked, finally accepting his fate as he sat down next to his mother, while Beomgyu sat next to Mr. Kang. 

"Let's see, what this book holds." 

"Probably my trauma." Taehyun grumbled from the side, earning a slap onto his thigh from his mother.

"This was when from Taehyun's first day of school and he was crying while hugging me." Mr. Kang laughed, pointing towards a picture where Taehyun was hugging his father tightly in front of his school gate, with teary eyes. 

Beomgyu laughed. "Oh my god, I didn't take Tyun for such a cry baby. So adorable, though!" The nickname slipped from his mouth and he didn't even realize it. 

Taehyun was currently covering his face with his hoodie's sleeve, very embarrassed by the moments which were taking place, right now. 

I mean, this was an act of violating privacy! 

"This was from his fourth birthday, I think. We got him a Doraemon cake and he again cried when we ate it." Mrs. Kang chuckled. 

"Hey," Taehyun stepped in. "In my defense, the Doraemon looked way too adorable to be eaten!" 

"Sure, it was just cake, darling~" And once again, the endearment slipped out of Beomgyu's lips and this time, everyone noticed it. 

Taehyun and Beomgyu blushed in a deep shade of red, while their parents just side-eyed them with a smirk. 

"Darling~, eh?" Mrs. Kang teased them, gaining support from her husband. 

"Anyways, look at this picture." Taehyun pointed at a random picture to change the topic. And his heart swelled when he realized the picture. 

It was him, Soobin and Kai on the first day of their high-school, posing in front of their high-school gate. 

"This was a memorable day." Taehyun said, remembering about how he bumped into Beomgyu when walking to the library. They started on the wrong foot but they didn't know that their fates entangled the moment they.
