Before the sun could finally rise, Beomgyu did some laps inside their neighborhood. This is also the day he’s going back with Yeonjun in the city.
There are a lot of things in his mind and he wanted to shrug all of those even for a moment. First, aside from his bestfriend, Yeonjun is the only one he opened up to. Second, why did Yeonjun mentioned the late Soobin’s name as if he knows him and adores him well? Third, what are Yeonjun’s real motive? And lastly, why does he feel like something bad again is going to happen now?
“You’re finally here,” Yeonjun welcomed him with a towel and fresh water. “I already packed your things. We’ll leave later after lunch,” he said.
“Thank you,” Beomgyu smiles. “But Yeonjun? Can I ask something?” Beomgyu said while wiping his sweats.
“Hmm?”
“Who’s Soobin to you?” he asks. “You know… I had a friend too, Choi Soobin…”
“C-Choi Soobin? How… did he die?” Yeonjun asked instead.
“Car accident,” Beomgyu pauses and answered. “It was a truck and their family’s car.”
Yeonjun weakened for a moment but he tried his best to act good in front of Beomgyu. For a moment, it feels like Yeonjun went back to the day of accident and he felt how bad it was.
“Are you okay?” Beomgyu asks in concern.
“Y-yeah… Let’s have some breakfast…” Yeonjun replied instead.
It was already afternoon when they get on the bus. There was a delay that made them wait for more than couple of hours. Yeonjun noticed that Beomgyu’s sleeping next to him. He is also nervous. He doesn’t know what’s going to happen along the way. Yeonjun looked outside the window and the skies are turning grey.
“Yeonjun…”
Yeonjun directed his eyes at Beomgyu’s hand that’s gripping his. “Are you okay?” Yeonjun calmly asks.
Their eyes meet, “Should we get off?” he asks.
“W-what do you mean? We’re already near the town,” Yeonjun asks in worried.
“I-it’s just… I dreamt of him…”
“Who?”
“The grim reaper.”
Yeonjun’s eyes widen for a second and held Beomgyu’s hand even tighter. “It was just a dream, okay? Nothing bad will happen. Come here,” Yeonjun assured and pull Beomgyu close to him.
