Rise Till' We Fall [TAEGYU]

#9: The only thing spicy is this

(Taehyun's POV)

Well, let's ignore what happened earlier and go on with the story. I may or may not want to forget everything. 

Beomgyu was wearing a white t-shirt with a white corduroy jacket. A dark blue beret balanced perfectly on his head and pants with the same color hugged his slim figure. His silvery hair curled around his face, framing it perfectly. I should stop describing his every detail, don't I? 

I knocked on Room 305's door and Yeonjun opened it. "Hi Tae, " he said happily. "We have pizza--oh you brought coke! Bin was supposed to go buy some." I walked into their living area and immediately scrunched my nose at the mess in front of me. "Don't you know that cleaning up before welcoming your guests is a necessary thing?" "Oh come on, it's not a big deal," said Gyu, sitting down after pushing away some crushed Cheetos on the floor. 

Soobin sat on the sofa with a big bag of chips in his lap. "You're here! I'm almost bored to death watching TV!" he grabbed Yeonjun and made him sit next to him. "Do you have any party ideas?" asked Yeonjun. 

That's when we ended up playing truth or dare. It has quite a bad rep in my perspective but I still played for the sake of my friends. It's not so fun to be left out. 

"Truth or dare?" I said after the empty coke bottle pointed to Yeonjun. "Truth," he said. "Choosing truth is boring~" whined Beomgyu. Soobin scooted over and whispered, "Ask him if he had any ex-girlfriends." "Probably not, he's been gay since I knew him," I said quietly. "Then ask him to choose between me and Soobin." "That's boring! He'll definitely choose me."

"Okay, Yeonjun. What's the most embarrassing thing that happened to you?" asked Soobin. "Well, do I have to reply?" "You can choose dare," I offered helpfully. He sighed. "Fine. Once I got gum on my pants and I didn't notice it for a whole day." "That's not even close to embarrassing!" said Gyu, "Once I-" "You can answer if you choose Truth later, now spin it again," said Soobin. "By the way, where's Kai?" 

"Um-well-" started Gyu, then he whispered in my ear: " Can we tell them?" I shrugged. "I'm okay with it." "So, yesterday he came back to our dorm late. Like midnight late. He just suddenly said something about who Tae likes and whatever, then he left, so Tae called the school, and Kai still didn't come back. I think he's in the infirmary." Soobin and Yeonjun sat wide-eyed at the tale. "Wow, that's definitely not him," said Yeonjun finally. "Can we keep playing?" I said. 

The bottle pointed to Beomgyu. "Dare," he said, so he turned away and covered his ears. I scooted closer to Soobin. "So, did you say it?" whispered Yeonjun. "Say what?" I answered. "Oh come on, everybody knows you have a crush on Beomgyu." My face flushed red, "No I don't!" Soobin chuckled. "He's officially the last one to know. " I covered my face, "am I really that obvious?"

Yeonjun ignored Soobin and me, walking over to Beomgyu and telling him: "I dare you to play seven minutes in heaven with Taehyun." Beomgyu looked surprised, but he didn't say anything as Soobin laughed and clapped his hands, "Oh, this is fun!"

And that is why I ended up in a closet with my crush. 

I was so flushed that I'm fairly certain that Gyu can feel my face burning. The closet is quite spacious compared to average, but our knees still touched as we sat on the floor of it. I can smell Beomgyu's toothpaste and the aroma of his fabric softener. " Why did they dare me to do this?" he said. " It's so hot in here, and you didn't have to do this-"  "I don't regret it," I said quickly. "In fact, I quite like it......I mean the temperature." 

I can feel his face get warmer. "Um, do you want some?" "You smuggled in some chips? Awesome!" he took one and we sat there, eating. I wasn't expecting anything to happen but still, I was kinda disappointed......this is seven minutes of heaven. Not supposed to be two teenage boys eating chips. Not like I wanted anything to happen. Definitely not. 

Suddenly Beomgyu's hand snaked over to my knee and I winced at his touch. He started tapping on my kneecap quickly with his fingers like some sort of beat. I can make out his hooded eyes in the dark, staring intently at his handiwork. It's itchy but sort of addictive? I like it though. Don't tell anyone, but I low-key wish these seven minutes lasted forever. 

The closet door opened as Gyu's hand left my knee. Yeonjun pulled him up and out of the closet then helped me out too. "My back is so sore~" whined Gyu. As we sat back to the couch, Soobin whispered: "So, did anything happen?" Yeonjun stuck his head in. "Did anything spicy happen?" he said with a weird smirk. I slapped him with the bag of chips. "The only thing spicy in that closet is this, dumbass."

So I've been motivated to write lately, not really because I like writing more than usual, but because I'm using this project to procrastinate on my schoolwork. It's not a good habit but at least I'm being productive. As another fellow writer on Wattpad once said, "When life gives you lemons, write cringe taegyu fanfics."

I have another story idea coming up, so I'm debating whether I should finish up Rise 'till we fall quickly. This is my first fanfiction though, it's growing on me, so I'll try not to hurry the plot but still write out my other story idea. It's going to be another Taegyu one so be excited~~

This is getting really long but still, watch the video above if you haven't seen it yet. It's hilarious. All MOAs should watch it. 

Question for today: How many kpop groups do you stan?
