time // taegyu

6 | in an empty park

a boy stood hiding inside a stall in the washroom. he was the hiding from a group of people. hoping that they won't come looking for him here. yet, his breathe hitched when he heard footsteps. sobbing and praying that they would leave him alone. well, luck was just not in his side that day.

"KANG TAEHYUN! i know you're in there!", a voice, particularly a male voice, yelled. it seemed like a group of boys stood outside the stall taehyun was hiding in.

the said boy shut his eyes tightly while heart was thumping, he dared to not open his mouth.

"come out motherfucker!"

"i'll not repeat myself!", he continued yelling.

"alright fag you know what? we'll have to do it ourselves"

and there was a loud thumb along with some harsh kicks on the door of that stall, taehyun still didn't move.

with continuous kicking and pushing, they managed to get a side of the door broken. taehyun had his eyes shut and his breathing was very unusually unstable. more like he couldn't breathe at all.

"there you are!", they all peered at him as if he was a ghost, and slowly taehyun could hear them laughing, laughing at his miserable state. he was wrong to even think that they would all pity him.

a boy, dashed inside the stall and held taehyun by the collar harshly.

"you thought i was going to leave you alone??", he spit.

"don't blame me for what i'm about to do. if only your fag boyfriend didn't ruin my plans, i would have not done this", he snickered.

and something in taehyun ignited. someone downright insulting beomgyu was not tolerable, no matter what.

"d-don't c-call him that", he managed to utter between his sobs. it was difficult to fight all of them physically and taehyun ultimately had to give up, being ready for the beating he's about to get.

"let him go!", a familiar voice yelled out.

taehyun shot his eyes wide open, he got up from wherever he was lying while panting and getting used to the surrounding. something clicked in his head and he realised he was inside the nurse office.

so taehyun fainted again.

"taehyun!", a voice called out.

the said boy turned his head to the voice only to be met with a face which belonged to the one and only, choi beomgyu, who stared at taehyun with a worried face.

what is he doing here?

"are you okay?", he asked in the softest voice possible.

"w-why are you here?"

"well, it would have been rude to leave you unconscious in that washroom."

"you? you bought me here?"

"yeah. but like- are you okay? why did you faint? do you have- you know? some sort of disea-"

taehyun shushed beomgyu in the middle of his rambling. goddamnit this boy never stops talking. but well beomgyu still cared enough to bring him to the nurse office. there was something different, his soft gaze and cherry lips were distracting taehyun from his strange nightmare.
