[OH MY BABY] || TaeGyu

Chp 18

"Eomma, is it true Yeonjun-hyung is going to s-stay inside the white room forever?" Little Beomgyu choked out, his cute doe eyes brimming with crystal tears. The 'white room' he meant was the hospital. "And I'm going to be lonely f-forever?"

His mother stopped wringing the clothes and looked at him sympathetically, crouching down to his level. She soothingly hugged him, pampering his face with kisses.

"What?! Who said that?!" Beomgyu's step-father dramatically exclaimed when he saw the small omega crying. He had just arrived from his construction work. "My baby will never be lonely!"

"You're so dramatic!" The lady lightly smacked the man's arm as he knelt beside them.

"I-I heard from some women gossiping near our gate..." Beomgyu's voice turned to a whisper as he kept sniffling.

"Those damn gossiping mongrels who don't have a life! Come here, my baby. We will never leave you, believe that, okay?" his step-father hugged him tightly.

The lady smiled and joined the hug, her heart itched at seeing her small child's broken face. "And your Yeonjun-hyung will be forever near with you... He's brave and a fighter! Like you!" she wholeheartedly smiled.

Little Beomgyu glanced at his mother's pretty face and saw the light tears forming in her crescent eyes. "E-Eomma... I'm sorry I made you cry..." he pouted.

His parents laughed, ruffling his hair.

"Yaaah! What is this? Why didn’t you guys call me to join your group hug?"

They looked back at the young, tall beta male who had just come out inside the house, wearing a comfy black jacket and plain white pajama. The kid's handsome face scrunched in bewilderment.

"Hyung!!!"

Little Beomgyu broke from his parents' hug and leapt towards the beta, who was fondly smiling at him. He hugged his dear beta brother tightly, closing his eyes and hiding his small face in his brother's neck.

"Beom... If our destiny might change in the future, always remember this... I will never abandon you." Yeonjun gently whispered, caressing his back.

"D-Don't say that..." Little Beomgyu's tears streamed again in fear. The tall beta broke the comforting hug, patted his head, and stepped away from him.

"But when you grow up... I hope you'll find someone who will be by your side forever..."

Little Beomgyu's small body trembled and his eyes shook as he glanced up at his tall brother's beaming face after hearing the next words he stated.

"When Hyung's gone..."

Yeonjun's figure disappeared, turning into glowing dust. Beomgyu tried to reach out with his shaky small hands.

"HYUNG!!" Little Beomgyu cried out loud. He slowly looked back and didn't see his parents anymore.

"You said you’d never leave me!! Eomma! Appa!"

"Gyu..." The alpha softly announced, patting the omega's back, who was in a deep slumber.

While patiently waiting for the alpha to arrive, Beomgyu had decided to take a nap in the living room after playing with Taejun. He sat on the floor, leaning his arms on the couch and resting his head to take a rest.

"Beomgyu!" Taehyun whisper-shouted when he saw the omega slightly crying and mumbling in his sleep. His voice made the omega flinch awake, wiping his drowsy eyes.
