Liar | Yeongyu

17. Pretend

Yeonjun was sitting in on a meeting between his parents. He was there physically but mentally he was thinking about the festival, he was thinking about Beomgyu, he was thinking about what he might've done if his phone didn't ring and what that meant for him.

He might've kissed him.

His heart thumped hard in his chest and it hurt. His head hurt, nothing made sense as he thought of it. Why would he kiss him if he doesn't like guys? He had never seen guys that way before so why did he feel in that moment an urge to kiss him?

"Yeonjun?"

"Huh?" He looked at his parents and they were staring at him.

His mother glared at him. "The meeting is over. You can go."

He stood up and bowed before leaving. His took off his tie and threw it in the trash as he unbutton his shirt a little and rolled up his sleeves. He walked past a mirror and paused as he stared at his hair. He huffed and ruffled up his slicked back hair a little in a way it didn't look so put together. He smiled before taking out his phone.

"I'm out of the meeting finally." He said to Taehyun.

"Finally, we started playing almost an hour ago. Why did your parents want you there any–"

"Wait hold on Beomgyu is calling me?" He switched over and answered. "H-Hey Beomgyu."

"Hi hyung, do you have plans today?"

"No no not at all. Have something in mind?"

"I was hoping...I could come over to your place today?"

"...my place?" He asked slowly.

"Yeah, you've never invited me over and I really wanted to see where you lived. We always hang out at my place."

"Uhhhhhh...give me one second my mom is calling." He switched it back over to Taehyun. "Taehyun."

"Ohhhh look who decided to keep talking to me?"

He rubbed his face. "Not now Tae, Beomgyu said he wanted to come over to my place."

"What's wrong with that?"

"Uhhhh I've been lying. He has no idea what kind of life I live. I haven't exactly told him that my family is well off. What do I do?"

Taehyun started thinking. "...alright alright use my house. We have pictures of you in our house too, you know my mom absolutely adores you. You're a second son, this is a second home, use it."

"Thank you thank you." He switched back over to Beomgyu. "Hey, hey I think it's a great idea. Yeah you should sleep over."

"Really? I understand if you aren't comfortable yet..."

"No no no it's fine, you're right we always hang out at your place. It'll be fun."

"I think so too. I can't wait to see you."

"I'll pick you up tonight." They ended their call and he went back to talking to Taehyun.

"I'm back. He's coming over tonight and he's sleeping over."

"Yeonjun—"

"I know I know I'm sorry I panicked!"

Taehyun sighed. "Okay, come over now and let's get this figured out."

"I'm on the way."

...

Yeonjun picked Beomgyu up from his place.

"Hey hyung." They hugged before Yeonjun opened the door for him. "I'm so excited for tonight."

"I can tell." He closed the door behind him and drove him to Taehyun's place. "We can watch a movie, talk, play a game or two. I have a lot of video games."

"I'd love to learn. I don't think I'm very good."

They went inside and Beomgyu looked around.

"It's not as big as yours but—"

"Are you kidding? Your home is so cozy I love it." He sat down on the couch. "I know I have no room to complain. I was raised in a house almost the size of a mansion, maids that did everything for me yet...I still felt so..." he sighed. "This is...this is really comforting. So be proud of it."

Taehyun walked out of his room. "Hey Beomgyu."

"Oh Taehyun...I didn't know—"

"We live together." Yeonjun said quickly. "I uhh recently moved out from my parents place. It was just too much, dealing with them."

"Oh, hyung why didn't you tell me? That's great!"

Taehyun nodded. "Yeah it's been pretty exciting. It's nice to see you again."

"Yeah you too." He looked at Yeonjun. "So, where can I put my things?"

"I'll take them for you." He grabbed his bag and took them into the guest room. "You'll sleep here."

Beomgyu sat on the bed and looked at Yeonjun. "...by myself?" He asked slowly as he looked at him, batting those beautiful long eyelashes. "I kinda was hoping, you could sleep with me?"

Ba-dump

"Uhhhhhh sure...right now?"

"Later, you're teaching me how to play games right?"

"Yes but there is plenty of time for that later don't you think? I'm actually really really tired we should nap."

"Nap? At 7pm?" He asked with an amused smile.

"Yep!" He climbed into bed and hugged him tightly as he pulled him to lay down.

Beomgyu laughed as he snuggled up against him. They didn't say anything else and Beomgyu had eventually fallen asleep a lot faster than Yeonjun thought. Taehyun came to check on them and saw the two of them fast asleep.

He sighed and slowly closed the door going back to his room. He laid in bed staring up at the ceiling before his thoughts were interrupted by his phone vibrating.

"Hello?"

"Hi hyung!"

A smile crept onto his lips. "Hi Hyuka."

"How's your night going to Yeonjun hyung? I hope I'm not interrupting."

"Nope, hyung ran off to do something else anyways it's fine." He turned over in bed. "I wish you...could be here?"

"We planned to hang out in two days. You can't wait?" He asked with an amused smile.

"I'm getting a little impatient."

"...my parents aren't home. You should come over."

Taehyun practically leaped out of bed and started grabbing his things. "I'll be there in 10 minutes!"
