Chapter 37

Beomgyu pulled away and looked at Yeonjun with a pout on his face, "don't you cry, your tears will irritate your wounds"
"I-I.."
"It's okay Yeonjun, let's take a breath for now, okay?"

Yeonjun nodded and did so while Beomgyu cleaned his tears with his thumbs. Yeonjun took a look at Beomgyu and smiled, "this is not a dream, is it? you're really back to me?"
"hey, this is no dream. I was asking this to myself as well, but, here we are yeonjun, maybe we'll go to a lot more places in our lives, and all of it won't be a dream"
"You'll always be a dream beomgyu"
"I used to be your nightmare"
"Oh fuck that yeonjun who couldn't see your pretty face"
"He was blinded by anger?"
"I don't really care, because right now's yeonjun has a 7/7 vision and can clearly see how pretty his beomgyu is"
"and what about when he called me a rat?"
"Oh, that, he doesn't take it back. A pretty rat, you are"
"You are a rat! Choi yeonjun", Yeonjun laughed.

"Mom, dad, this is Yeonjun", Beomgyu speaks.
"Yeah, we do know him, is this what you wanted to talk about? Come on beomgyu, the shop is closing soon, there is a lot of rush!", his father says.
"Right, we have seen sir yeonjun already, a lot. He stayed over as well! What do you want to say?"
"Yeonjun, my boyfriend", Beomgyu said hurriedly. Both his parents gasped while eunchae started laughing.

"Finally, losers!", she yelled. Yeonjun looked at Beomgyu in surprise.

"Well, okay, welcome, Beomgyu's boyfriend, Yeonjun, nice to meet you. I'll be getting back to work now?", Beomgyu's father said and his mother yelled at Beomgyu for introducing Yeonjun as his boyfriend too late.

After all of that, the two boys were in Beomgyu's room and Beomgyu was avoiding Yeonjun very evidently.

"Do you want water?"
"Not really"
"I will get you some water", Beomgyu was about to leave the room when Yeonjun held his arm and pulled him back.

"Stop running away"
"I am not"
"and I am not in love with you"
"you are not-", Beomgyu looked at Yeonjun who was grinning, with a very sad pout.
"I am, I was just lying because you just lied too"
"I am not running away, it's just that-"
"You're embarrassed? Don't be", Beomgyu shook his head.

"But boyfriend? Huh?", Yeonjun smirked. Beomgyu punched his chest, "Shut up"
"Since when?"
"It just slipped okay!"
"Your desire?"
"Choi Yeonjun"
"Oh, I'm your desir-"
"Fuck off"
"Rude"
"Yeah, that's what you deserve!"
"I don't deserve the nice beomgyu?"
"Only when you're being nice"
"and when am I being nice?"
"Exactly. Never."
"Yah, choi beomgyu"
"What, choi yeonjun"
"Did you mean it when you said it?"
"Said what?"
"What you said downstairs!"
"I did not say anything"
"Hey don't be a liar!", Yeonjun yelled. Beomgyu flinched, Yeonjun's eyes widened, he hurried dragged beomgyu close to him, hugging his head, "I am sorry, I didn't mean to be so loud"
"You are, very loud, choi yeonjun", Beomgyu said slowly.
"I don't mean it, I am sorry", Yeonjun muttered.

Beomgyu smiled and pulled a little to look at Yeonjun's face, "You're trying your best to be better and I really admire you for that"
"That's all I'd need. Your admiration"
"That's what you've always wanted haven't you? Me to acknowledge you, because how could anyone not acknowledge the choi yeonjun?"
"Shut up beomgyu, don't bring up the past for god's sake. In the present, I want all of you, not just your acknowledgment"
"Yeah, so ask it"
"Ask what"
"The fucking question?!"
"What question?"
"You're so dumb!", Beomgyu pushed Yeonjun away.

"Hey!", Yeonjun held his hands up in defence. Beomgyu sighed, "I hate you"
"I want you to close your eyes"
Beomgyu did as told. He felt something, Yeonjun's lips, he was familiar by now, on his cheek.

"This is not going to work, choi yeonjun"

"Why are we at your house all of a sudden? It's 3am!"
"Because, it wasn't working that way"
"Yeonjun"
"Beomgyu"
"WHAT"
"Let's go talk near the pool, okay?"
Yeonjun dragged Beomgyu near the pool, Beomgyu looked around, "did you get the area decorated?"
"I decorated it myself, before coming to you"
"That's...cute"
"You're cuter, but okay"
Beomgyu chuckled, "what are we actually here for?"

Yeonjun took out a necklace from his pocket and handed it to Beomgyu, holding his hands.
"I am here to give this to you, I designed it myself and, made it myself as well"
Beomgyu looked at the necklace to see a metallic rat on it, he shook his head in disappointment.

"You won't leave them rats alone, ever, would you?"
"No? Because I associate them with someone I want to keep around forever"
"I see"
"Be my boyfriend, yeah?"
"What?"
"You want me to repeat?"
"Yes, like a few more times"
Yeonjun sighed, "choi beomgyu, please be my boyfriend?"
"Sure!", Beomgyu nodded with a wide smile as Yeonjun helped him wear the necklace.
