The sounds of cooking filled the room: the hiss of the pan, the clatter of knives on chopping boards and the gentle hum of the fridge. Beomgyu stood in the kitchen preparing food, a gentle smile playing around his lips. He was absorbed in preparing the food, his hands skillful and sure at work. The ingredients lay neatly on the kitchen counter while Beomgyu chopped vegetables, fried meat and added spices.
It was a calming ritual for him, helping him to organize his thoughts and banish his worries.
Soyeon stayed with him for a few weeks.
It was a small retreat, a place of safety and security that he wanted to share with her. The apartment radiated a warm atmosphere, with soft light, soft furniture and soothing colors. Beomgyu had gone to great lengths to ensure that Soyeon wanted for nothing. He had made his bedroom available to her, put on fresh bed linen and was now cooking her favorite meal.
She was taking a soothing bath. The fact that Soyeon was feeling well and slowly recovering from the traumatic events filled Beomgyu with happiness and contentment. He was grateful that he was able to stand by her side during this difficult time and enjoyed being there for her.
When there was a sudden knock at the door, Beomgyu interrupted his cooking activities and made his way to open the door.
"Yeonjun!"
He immediately took the musician in his arms and planted a kiss on his cheek.
He was a little surprised by the affection, but not at all reluctant and put one arm around the young actor, holding a cardboard frame with three coffee cups in the other. "Hey," Yeonjun greeted gently, stepped inside and put the drinks down at the kitchen counter.
Two weeks had now passed and Yeonjun was glad that the court hearing with Joonwoo had not taken up much time thanks to Soyeon's efforts. His former boss had not only been convicted of kidnapping and deprivation of liberty, but also of sexual abuse and rape. The verdict was reached so quickly because several artists had come forward.
"How are you two doing?" Yeonjun asked immediately and when his eyes fell on the simmering food, he looked directly at Beomgyu again. "Do you need help?"
"Good, very good. She's still in the bathroom right now," Beomgyu replied, relief written all over his face. "It'll be ready soon," he pointed to the still unfinished, bubbling food, "would you like to eat here?" After all, he hadn't expected Yeonjun's visit, but he was clearly happy about it.
Yeonjun nodded with a smile, his gaze resting lovingly on the actor. The way he looked after his best friend made Beomgyu so incredibly endearing.
"And how are you?" Beomgyu asked in detail, stroking the boy's arm, who had been through a lot at the hands of his boss. All that was over now and he remembered the time when Yeonjun had not been well at all.
Beomgyu's touch felt like balm for the soul and made the musician sigh softly. The care and compassion meant more to Yeonjun than all words put together and it had been a long time since he had felt this tingling sensation. Past physical contact had made him shudder with disgust, but with Beomgyu it felt completely different.
