Pretend | Taegyu

●Wait.. Are We Locked?●

It had already been a week since Beomgyu and Taehyun moved into the apartment and it was safe to say that the three were not at all appreciating it. 

The couple kept on arguing for literal hours in a day and it was getting annoying. The trio didn't know what had caused all this bickering but it needed to be stopped for once and all. 

So here they were, sitting in the kitchen at two am in the night, discussing about how to solve the problem between those two. 

"Taehyun has been very grumpy these days. First of all, he hands out way more work than I'm supposed to do and then second of all, acts up at almost every small things known to mankind. That day, he literally went all out on a customer who kept on shitting about how bad the croissants were, which is how he literally ordered it! I mean, the customer deserved the cusses but damn it was bad." 

"How bad?" Yeonjun asked, slurping on the ramen that Kai had prepared for them a few moments ago. 

"It was as if experiencing a high school Taehyun fighting with his classmates." Soobin replied, and Yeonjun winced. That bad, huh? 

"Beomgyu's been horrible too." Yeonjun sighed, placing his chopsticks down. "He's such in a pissy mood these days that it makes me not wanna tease him." 

Kai looked at the two people who were sleeping on the mattresses in the living room. "Match made in heaven."

"More like hell." Yeonjun and Soobin collectively replied and Kai grinned at the sync. 

"So what should we do? Their bickering is so bad that it makes me wanna rip my ears out. It can't keep on going like this, right?" Kai asked. 

"I suggest that we lock them up in the room together." Yeonjun said and Soobin and Kai snapped their necks at his direction. 

"Are you crazy?" Soobin genuinely asked and Yeonjun pouted. "If we leave them together in a single room, especially during these times, they'd rip each other's hair off."

Kai made a noise of agreement. "I don't think that's going to work at all. If anything it'd get more worse." 

"Then do any of y'all have any other ideas? You know both of them are stubborn as hell, they wouldn't agree to communicate with each other." Yeonjun raised his eyebrows and Soobin and Kai fell silent. 

"Thought so," Yeonjun rolled his eyes. "Let's just lock them up and hope for the best that these two wouldn't try to choke each other."

The next morning, Taehyun woke up in somewhat okay mood. It was a Sunday morning and he planned to spend it by watching some rom-coms in the afternoon or going out on a walk in the evening. 

He was now standing in the kitchen, sipping on his orange juice when all of a sudden he remembered the first vision that he saw as soon as he woke up. 

It was Beomgyu sleeping on his side of the mattress, with his face extremely close to Taehyun's. Due to his menace of a good looking husband, Taehyun had to start his day with an increasing heart beat and a blushed face. 

Maybe his face got so red to the point that even Soobin questioned if he was sick. God, it was embarrassing. To fall in love with Choi Beomgyu, he means.

He was snapped out of his daze when Beomgyu ruffled his hair with a chuckle before gently shoving him from where he was standing in front of the fridge. 

"Hey!" Taehyun whined, soothing out his hair strands which Beomgyu messed up. "You could've used your mouth instead of shoving me away."

"But where's the fun in that?" Beomgyu turned to him with a stupidly pretty smile that made Taehyun's gaze falter. "I like teasing you."

Taehyun scoffed, trying to hide his pink cheeks from Beomgyu. "You have weird hobbies, I see."

"Hey, Taehyun!" Yeonjun's loud voice interrupted their little moment. "Can you help me find my jacket? I can't seem to find it!" He shouted from his shared bedroom with Soobin. 

Taehyun sighed. "Comin' hyung!" He placed his glass in the sink, also where Beomgyu was washing his plate. "Can you wash this for me? Thanks." He scurried out of the kitchen before Beomgyu could smack him again. 

"Brat," Beomgyu muttered under his breath, but he couldn't deny the smile forming on his lips. 

"Hey hyung, what's up?" Taehyun entered the room and found Yeonjun hurriedly trying to find his clothing article in the closet. 

"Hey, can you help me find my black leather jacket? I can't find it and I'm going to be late to my date with Soobin. Help a bro out?" Yeonjun pleaded with sparkling eyes and Taehyun found himself giving in with a nod of his head. 

"God, I hate your fashion problems." Taehyun rolled his eyes but also moved forward to go through the closet to find the supposed jacket. 

He was in his own world, trying so hard to find the jacket that he didn't even notice Yeonjun slipping out of the bedroom. 

A few minutes later, Taehyun felt a presence besides him. When he turned around, he found Beomgyu eyeing the messy closet. "What are you doing here?"

"Soobin hyung asked me if I could grab his wallet for him. That's why I'm here." Beomgyu shrugged, trying to now find the wallet on Soobin's night stand. 

Taehyun nodded and looked at the door for a second and saw Kai trying to shut the door..?

"Kai.. what are you doing..?" Taehyun asked, his tone full of suspicion. But as soon as he reached the door, it was shut closed and a few seconds later, he heard the door lock. "Did you just fucking lock us in?!" Taehyun exclaimed. 

"Sorry, Tyun!" Kai's voice came through the door. "It was actually our plan to get you two communicate after whatever fight or disagreement y'all had."

"Are you serious?" Beomgyu frowned walking towards the door. "Open this door right now, I'm not playing."

"We aren't too." This time, Soobin's voice came through. "Sorry, we can't! We'll open the door later this evening!"

"What?" Taehyun muttered to himself, amused.

"Try not to kill each other, bye!" Yeonjun chirped before they heard footsteps walking away from the door. 

"What the fuck? Come back here! Oh my god," Taehyun couldn't believe this. Just what kind of a friend group was he in?

He turned around to see Beomgyu sitting on the bed, seeming as if he already accepted his fate. 

"Oh and," Kai's voice came through again. "Don't do anything nasty in there! Soobin hyung's gonna kill you if he had to clean up all that!"

What.
