Chp 24

Taehyun slowly opened his heavy eyelids, he was greeted by pain throughout his body. Memories of his accident the previous night came rushing back. As usual, he was drunk again. He was so intoxicated that he didn't realize his car had drifted out of its lane until he encountered an oncoming vehicle. He tried to swerve but ended up crashing into a post.

He attempted to lift his hand but froze when he noticed someone was holding it. Looking down, he felt a chill run through his body when he saw who it was.

The small male beside him was peacefully asleep. With a trembling hand, he touched his face, wanting to be sure he wasn't an apparition or a hallucination. Tears streamed down his face as he realized that his Beomgyu was really there.

Beomgyu was still as beautiful as the last time he saw him, the older is like a sleeping fairy beside him.

Oh, l need to call God...
I think heaven's missing an angel.

Beomgyu gradually opened his eyes, revealing their hazelnut color. His eyes widened when he saw that Taehyun was awake.

"Taehyunah! T-Thank God you're awake... W-Wait, are you in pain? I'll call a doctor-"

"No. I'm okay. Just stay here with me." Taehyun held his hand firmly. "Are you real? Are you really here? Have you come back to me? Are you not going to leave me again? Beomgyu-hyung?" he asked the older in rapid succession.

Beomgyu began to cry and trembling.

Despite the pain still coursing through Taehyun's body, he struggled to sit up in bed. Beomgyu tried to stop him, but he was determined. Once he was sitting, he embraced the older, burying his face in Beomgyu's warm neck. There, he inhaled the older's vanilla sweet scent that he had always loved.

I love you, Beomgyu.
I knew it the seconds I met you.

Taehyun softly kissed the older. Both of them cried as their lips met. Damn, he missed Beomgyu so much.

"Don't leave me again..." Taehyun whispered between the kisses. They were both panting when he finally released the older's cherry lips.

Beomgyu gently caressed the younger's sharp jaw. "We need to talk first, Hyun. We need to have a proper conversation. I know you have many questions for me, and I have many for you too."

Beomgyu was right, Taehyun had so many questions. But once they finished talking, he wouldn't let the older be separated or far from him again. Two years apart was enough.

"Fine. Where have you been, Beomgyu? I've been looking for you everywhere, but I couldn't find you. Did you plan to hide from me?"

Beomgyu shook his head repeatedly.

"I didn't plan to hide from you, Taehyunah... I was just hurt because when you saw the application letter from the school abroad, you left me immediately... Y-You didn't even give me a chance to explain. I waited for you, Hyun... hoping for at least a text or chat from you, but there was nothing. I swear, I didn't submit or fill out any form. But I won't lie, I did think about accepting it. However, when I realized I couldn't bear to be away from you, I decided not to go through with it."

Beomgyu's hurt tears escaped his eyes again as he tried his best to speak coherently for the younger to understand him. Taehyun's brows furrowed in sadness and conscience. He gently wiped away the older's tears with his thumb and gave a subtle nod, signaling Beomgyu to continue.

"... U-Until one day, I received a package from abroad. Inside was a printed copy of the application form for the University exchange student program for scholars. There was also a passport and a ticket. I threw it away, but when I saw the video sent to me of you... h-having sex with someone else, I was devastated... I couldn't think straight and immediately left your mansion. I... I thought, why is the world so unfair? I already lost Grandma, and now, y-you too?" Beomgyu choke out, crying more. Taehyun embraced him tightly, brushing his back to comfort him.
