Through The Eyes - TAEGYU ✔️

twenty one

Beomgyu wakes up at dawn with tears streaming down his face. He makes sure he doesn't sob too hard or else it'll wake Taehyun up. He takes a light shower and packs his bag. He feels awful for what he's about to do. Trails of regrets still fill his mind.

He stares at his boyfriend as he's still sleeping, memorizing every detail of his face because it was the last time he'd ever see it. He doesn't know when they'll meet again.

He wants to carve every memory he has with Taehyun. He admires every feature of Taehyun's beautiful face. His soft doe eyes, his dimples and how perfectly sturctured his face is. He wants to remember all the snarky remarks Taehyun has ever made to him from the first day they met. He wants to remember Taehyun's shyness and how he would blush, and how his laugh sounds like that never fails to send butterflies to his stomach. He wants to remember how the latter's tiny frame fits perfectly in his and the warmth he always feels whenever they interlock their hands. The way his soft rosy lips felt against his. He wants to remember every moment, every bit of it.

Beomgyu places his last letter on the nightstand.

Before leaving, he caresses Taehyun's cheeks gently, ensuring he doesn't wake up. With one last look, Beomgyu plants a lasting and gentle kiss on Taehyun's lips. Tears are spilling from the corners of his eyes. He pulls away to admire his boyfriend's features before leaving for the door.

Taehyun wakes up to the blinding sunlight that seam through the blinds in his room. He stretches his arms, unconsiously feeling sunken. He turns to his side, only to find the space beside him empty and cold. "Beomgyu?" He calls out.

He hops out from his bed, rubbing his tired eyes as he makes his way to the living room, hoping to see Beomgyu just watching TV or cooking something at te kitchen. But, it was empty. The kitchen, living room, the spare bedroom, bathroom, everything. It's empty.

"Beomgyu?" Taehyun calls out for his boyfriend, sounding panic.

He runs back to his room and grabs his phone. He immediately dials Beomgyu's phone number but to no avail. Taehyun falls onto his knees, tears streaming down his face and he calls the latter what felt like a million times but to no answer. Taehyun's breathing became irregular, he's suffocating as he panics to where Beomgyu was and why he isn't picking up his calls.

"Beomgyu? Beomgu?!" Taehyun calls out every second, checking every room countless times with the hopeless thought that maybe Beomgyu was hiding and pranking him but it was utter silence.

Taehyun's still holding his phone, his hands tremble and his whole being is shaking. His face is stained with tears.

He lies down on his bed, curling himself up in despair. He then spots a folded paper on his night stand and he instantly grabs it.

Hyunnie~

Good morning angel,

Did you sleep well? I hope you did.

I'm sorry for disappearing like that, I'm sorry if I scared you for doing so.

Hyunnie, there's something I have to tell you that I have been meaning to tell you but didn't.

I was so scared to tell you because I didn't want to ruin the moment, but without realising, ruined us.ruined us.

Hyunnie, I'm about to be engaged to Chaeryoung. It was an arranged marriage for business purposes, so I'm going back to Daegu.
