Pretend | Taegyu

●A Flashback (Pt.2)●

"Are we really doing this?" Beomgyu asked, his voice hiding his vulnerability and uncomfortableness. 

"Yes." Taehyun straight up replied. "I've been asking myself these questions for years now. Of course, I wanna know what went wrong!" 

Beomgyu sighed. "Fine, let's talk about it then." He was digging his own grave at this point. But it needed to be done and a small part of him was glad that Taehyun decided to bring it up.

Even when it costed him his pride. 

And even when it might change the trajectory of their relationship now.

Well, it started like this. 

December was coming to an end and Prom night was approaching as near as in two weeks.

Taehyun being Taehyun, was completely excited about it which was valid considering that it was his first ever prom. 

But Beomgyu? He was kind of scared as the days soon passed by. He knew he should talk about him moving to Japan as soon as possible with his friends because literally, he was moving away a week after Prom. 

Yes, he knew it was insanely late to tell them about this but his anxiety was just not cooperating with him and that resulted into this..

With his own problems, he forgot how Taehyun could have possibly taken the news of him moving away. 

The rough patch in their relationship was not going away since they were absolutely refusing to communicate with each other. Yeah, they could not deny that for sure, it was their problem. But it was their first and serious relationship, of course they did not know what to and what not to do. 

But c'mon, communication is one of the basic things and key factors in a relationship. 

But haha, they didn't know about it.

So now, they were hanging out at Taehyun's room with Beomgyu laying on the bed and the younger shuffling through his closet to find something appropriate for Prom. "I have nothing to wear, fuck!"

Beomgyu, who was laying on the bed, under the covers, smiled at Taehyun. "Imagine showing up to prom with t-shirt and jeans. Would you be up for that?"

Taehyun turned around to him with a hand on his hips. "Yeah sure, if that means getting kicked out of the function. You know they have given us a dress code, right?"

"Really?" Beomgyu frowned. "I didn't see it."

Taehyun sighed, sitting on the edge of the bed. "Do you want to go to prom, Beomgyu?" 

The aforementioned looked at his boyfriend in his eyes and saw worry. "Yeah.. why wouldn't I?" 

"I don't know.. it seems like you're tired these days.. I don't want to force yourself to come with me, alright? We can stay home." 

Beomgyu's heart swelled at the younger's statement. He even considered telling Taehyun about what the fuck was going on with him but his hands started to shake and his heart started to palpitate so maybe not yet. 

"D-Don't worry, darling." Beomgyu gave a reassuring smile. Or so he hoped. "I'm perfectly fine. We are going to prom and have the best night there, alright?" 

Taehyun pressed his tight lips into a smile and nodded. "And by the way.. is everything okay with us?"

That statement made Beomgyu's heart almost stop. He hesitatingly nodded.  "Yes, we are. Why? Do you not think so?"
