Beomgyu's Lovestory ᵉⁿᵍ

VIII. Familiar Scenes

- Kai doesn't want me to contact you, but whatever. You don't have to reply me, just come to the playground before the midnight, if you still do care about me... Thank you. -

Of course he still cared about Taehyun. It was only a few minutes to midnight and his nerves were already wrecking him as... yes. It wouldn't be all that hella hard, if he didn't care, after all. Even sitting on that swing, slightly swaying front to back with his feet on the ground, was pretty uncomfortable for his stomach, but he couldn't be still neither. 

What exactly does he even want to talk about? 

Just like the falling asleep streets with only a few cars passing by, the stars above the playground hidden in darkness didn't seem to reply him as well. They only kept on staring and twinkling in the chaotic rhythm of Beomgyu's thoughts. Maybe about everything. 

When he recalled Taehyun's peacefully sleeping face, as he covered him with blanket, before leaving for a talk with Yeonjun... and then his teary eyes, when they met again that night, he couldn't sit anymore. 

Where is he even? I would have expected him to be here at least half an hour earlier... 

The boy jumped to his feet with a sigh and slightly kicked the gravelly ground. 

Damnit. This preparation for the interrogation is killing me - Beomgyu thought as he walked across the lawn towards the faint glow of the police station light board across the road behind the bushes. 

He stopped only at the trunk of a tall familiar conifer... placed his palm on its bark and gazed up into its crown. Holding his breath and looking around the spiral row of black branches on the indigo skies, he felt a little dizzy... 

Soon it made him take a step back. 

At the same time, it was a quick step and fall into the warm darkness and insurance. 

He didn't even flinch... he recognized those stable hands put on his eyes right away. 

What is this hide and seek? Beomgyu asked himself with an insecure grin, then gently grabbed Taehyun's wrists so he could turn around and face him. 

However, when that happened, he didn't get any other chance to run away. His back was nailed to the tree... On one side he was blocked by a forearm, on the other his eyes were captured by Taehyun's urgent gaze.

"... but my lips always tickle thinking about that."

"Do you want to try it, hyung?" 

"Could I?"

"I'm pretty curious, too... so if you want to-"

Tae... 

No more wasting time... 

The kiss felt so familiar... yet so different, so... heartfelt and soulful. Just so passionate and melancholy, as if the younger boy tried to bring that deja vu back to his present. Could anyone ever kiss him like Taehyun could? 

With his best friend next door, tucked away in the safety of their hideout... Of course he came, of course he put his palms on his soft cheeks... of course he couldn't resist him, kissed him back again and again and even managed to gently suck on his lower lip, before the younger male slowly pulled away. 

With his eyes closed and his breathing quickened, Taehyun rested his forehead against Beomgyu's. 

"Don't ever tell me to hate you or let you go again... I won't," he whispered in exhale, then the endorphins brought a beautiful smile on his lips and he had to chuckle, "I knew you'd kiss me back." 

Does he really read me that well? 

"Is this why you wanted me to come?" Although Beomgyu enjoyed it and Taehyun definitely stole all of his thoughts, he didn't quite understand what just happened. "I thought you'd want to talk about... Yeonjun... maybe." 

Taking a deep breath, Taehyun nodded, then he turned on his heel to walk back to the swings. 

"Yes, but also no..." 

Beomgyu watched as Taehyun sat down on the swing and briefly looked up at the sky. When he took a seat on the other swing, Tae returned his gaze to him. 

"It is more about Kai... and us." 

Oh great, that might be even worse. Beomgyu bit on his lip and looked away. 

"You know his persona. He really means everything he says... even what he said in the morning." 

"Sure - I hurt him and he will never forgive me that." 

"That's not true. Kai is loyal to his heart... he knows you love him. Yeah, sure you fucked up, but- It wasn't much about how... more about when. You stabbed him at the wrong sensitive moment." 

That caught Beomgyu's attention and made him turn his face back to Taehyun. What do you mean? 

"While you were playing unavailable, he came to talk to me. First he was comforting me, until I could open up to him - he already found out that about Yeonjun in the school - and then... then he asked me if... in the case it somehow worked out... if I would like to date you. Both." 

So he really suggested it to him? That shot Beomgyu to his feet. His body was shaking madly again and he was looking at Taehyun like an apparition. What am I supposed to do with this fact now? 

"What are you saying?" He couldn't believe his ears.

Taehyun stood up as well, a glaze covering his eyes again. 

"Please, we really love you. We can forget it all. Hyuka won't give up just like that, he can not hate you, but he needs you to show him your efforts and care as well..." 

Beomgyu grabbed his head, closed his eyes and made a turn with a deep breath. 

"Does that mean you guys are already dating?" 

"... Do you mind?" 

Lips pursed, Beomgyu shook his head. He can not expect anyone to be lonely till the end of their lives, just because he can not fall out of love or forget his soulmate. He couldn't date any of them because of the other... now they ended up together, sharing the same rejection. Not like they don't deserve each other, they actually do af. 

"We all like each other a lot... Hyuka really helped me and now I'm sure you still truly love me, that's why I am telling you this all." 

This boy... 

"What do you expect me to do, Tyun? I would love to date you, but how do you think I can fight the bond of two souls? The fate..." 

"Do you love him?"

"What kind of question is that?" Beomgyu was already chuckling in despair and rubbing his still tired eyes.

"Just answer it..."

"Of course I do," he wailed, but actually Taehyun put a real bug in his head with that freaky question.
