The Killer | Taegyu

XII.

The three of them are in the café. Huening Kai ordered milkshake and Soobin ordered his precious bread. Yeonjun is not there because he had something to do. Beomgyu would only watch this two rich freaks eat.

"Beomgyu, aren't you going to eat?." Huening Kai asked. "No thanks." Beomgyu simply said and look at Soobin who ordered cinnamon roll. "My dear cousin, I know it's inappropriate to say this in front of food but what you ordered looks like a poop."

"How dare you insult my precious bread?!." Soobin asked as he ate his bread. Beomgyu would only shrugged. By now, Beomgyu's phone keeps ringing because of the certain male named Kang Taehyun.

Unfortunately, Beomgyu's butler failed to buy the most expensive ice cream in the whole world so he just bought tons of ice cream that Taehyun would never eat. Why?

How can you eat three trucks of ice cream dude, you'll die.

"But, your butler's really something. He bought three trucks of ice cream of Taehyun." Huening Kai snickered. Beomgyu sighed in annoyance. "That's what we called, super ultra mega comfort food. I think Taehyun will forget you BIG TIME that you wouldn't dare looking at his eyes tomorrow." Soobin snickered back.

"Please shut up before I sew both of your mouth." Beomgyu said, making the two of them shut their mouth. Beomgyu read 200 messages from the latter.

Squirrel 🐿️

    :: Yah! When did I say that you have to brought me 3 trucks of ice cream?!

   :: Most of them are mint choco! Beomgyu I can't eat mint choco Ice cream!

   :: Yah! Choi Beomgyu, if you wanted to apologize, you just have to make it sincere!

  :: Fine! I'll forgive you if you join me eating this ice cream for months.

That's all he had to read. Beomgyu quickly stands up preparing to leave but Soobin had to held him by his arms. "Where do you think you're going kid? It's already past 8, we're heading back home."

"I'll spend my night with Taehyun." Beomgyu quickly said before running off. He's too excited to see the younger again.

In 10 minutes of walking he arrives at Taehyun's house. He is hesitant to either ring the bell or text the male first but a lady with beautiful smile opens the door and guide him inside.

"Hello dear, you must be Taehyun's friend. I didn't know that my son would end up having a handsome boy like you. What's your name?." Taehyun's mother asked. "My name is Choi Beomg—" Beomgyu cutted his words. "J-Just call me Bamgyu."

Taehyun's mother giggled. "You're so handsome to be called as Bamgyu you know." Beomgyu faked a laugh. Too faked.

He's nervous as fuck, he can't let someone knew his name, dude this girl is his target. "Taehyun-ah! Come here downstairs. Eat proper food before that ice creams. Your friend is here." His mother shouted.

"I'm coming!." Taehyun replied back, walking downstairs then he saw Beomgyu. Taehyun could only look at his mom and back to Beomgyu. "What are you doing in here— ouch mom! What was that for?!." Taehyun winced in pain when his mother slapped his arms. "When did I teach you manners like that? Is that a proper way to greet the guest?."

"Fine, mom! I'm sorry!." Taehyun apologizes, he quickly pulled Beomgyu upstairs and lock his room.

"What are you doing in here? You're not planning to kill—" "I'm going to help you with the ice cream." Beomgyu quickly said. Taehyun smiled at Beomgyu's remarks. He should trust the older. "I am actually reviewing some notes while eating. You can sit on my bed and open another container for you to eat. Are you going to sleep in your you know. Mansion?" Taehyun asked as he sat back down on his table, reading his notes again.

Beomgyu sat on Taehyun's bed. He look around, it's a normal smarty ass' bedroom. "Nope, I'm going to sleep here." Taehyun quickly look at him, but nodded. "It's alright, my mom wouldn't mind. You can change your clothes, just wear something comfortable in my closet. My clothes are not that expensive but it's comfortable so...Yeah." Taehyun smiles again.

The conversation were smooth, it's their first time having this kind of conversation. Beomgyu could only just nod. "Quickly, change so I could put your uniform into laundry. Why are you even wearing your school uniform if you're not going to school?." Taehyun giggled as he went back reading on his notes. Beomgyu look at Taehyun's closet and decided to wear black shorts and white plain shirt. He quickly changed as Taehyun's reading so that he won't see anything. Taehyun turns around and look at Beomgyu. "Oh... You changed quite faster. Let me put your uniform into laundry so you can use it for tomorrow."

Taehyun stands up and pick Beomgyu's uniform, Taehyun had to remove Beomgyu's nametag before leaving his own room. Now, Beomgyu looks around, from the table, and how Taehyun would work around his room. The boy is pretty organized with his own things. His uniform were hang neatly behind the door. "So this is Taehyun outside the school. Still the same."

Beomgyu look at something on Taehyun's table. It's a picture frame.

Taehyun entered his room again. "Oh... That picture frame. It's Soobin, me and Soobin's cousin." Taehyun explained, making Beomgyu frowned.

Heck, he's Soobin's only one cousin. "That photo was taken when I was just 5 years old. I even forgot the name of that guy in the picture. I became unbothered asking Soobin hyung's cousin so I just stay as it is. I just remembered playing with that guy, that guy is really gentleman." Taehyun smiles widely, reminiscing his childhood.

Beomgyu sat on Taehyun's bed again, starting digging on his own ice cream while listening to Taehyun, his vague memories from childhood started to comeback. "I remember when Soobin and I went to see him but he was sick, he forced himself to play with us because he misses us. Huening Kai didn't get the chance to meet Soobin's cousin. It's because he's in Hawaii with his dad." Taehyun continued to tell the story.

"Sometimes, Soobin's cousin would only love to play in the swing and doesn't try other games on the nearby park where I usually go when I was a child. He calls himself as tiger. I wanted to laugh because he's adorable." Taehyun giggles and look at Beomgyu. "But you know, Soobin said his cousin had to do something, that's what his late grandfather said so he had to leave us. There, I didn't see that guy again. If I would given a chance then I'll smack him so hard on the head because he didn't even say he'll leave."

"I even cried when he left. I thought he doesn't want to play with us anymore." Beomgyu bit his bottom lip. He doesn't know that Taehyun is part of his childhood. He's a bit glad. "You know! I remember, that guy gave me something." Taehyun opens his table's drawer and find something and closes it after. "This pendant, it's his one and only treasure. I couldn't get a chance to give it to him because you know right? You're Soobin's cousin. Do you know that guy is?." Taehyun asked him.

Beomgyu smiled and shakes his head.

Maybe

Just maybe

I'm sorry for leaving you behind in the past.
