regret and soft cheeks

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

taehyun and beomgyu walk behind the others. the brown-haired boy doesn't know where they're going, but he knows he doesn't really want to be with them anymore. he doesn't want to be out in public, he's tired. already.

"hyung?" taehyun quietly calls for beomgyu, lightly grabbing onto the others sleeve to get his attention. beomgyu looks up at him with a raised brow and a small smile on his face. 

"mhm." the older lets out, running a hand through his ash hair. 

"where are we going?" beomgyu immediately senses taehyun is feeling a bit anxious and is regretting his decision.

"i don't know yet, why?" beomgyu grabs the other by the hips, pulling taehyun in front of him, so a jogger can pass by them on the small sidewalk. 

it makes taehyun forget how to breathe. his chest feels warm and the butterflies in his stomach are having a party. taehyun swears his heart skips a beat. stop making me feel like this!

"can we.. can we please go to someone's house? i hate roaming around the streets." taehyun whispers and beomgyu nods understandingly. letting go of him, it makes taehyun's heart sigh. what are you doing to me? 

"hyung-" beomgyu yells at the others ahead, even huening kai turns his head. it makes taehyun smile a little.

"can we go to someone's house? i think it's going to rain." taehyun's chest feels even warmer as beomgyu lies straight to the other's faces. beomgyu is almost protecting him and it makes taehyun feel safe. 

soobin looks up at the blue sky. there are a few clouds, but not many. he looks doubtful to say the least

"i'm a little cold too-" beomgyu adds as he sees the confused look on soobin's face. he rubs his hands together to make his acting more believeable.

"of course we can. let's head to my house." huening kai says with a smile, "it's baking day today, i bet mama has a lot to offer us."

 

and huening kai isn't wrong, his mum has baked up a storm in their big kitchen. the five boys feast on baked goods. and taehyun wishes he had a mommy that loved to bake. maybe he was allowed to borrow huening kai's mama sometimes?

"i've never seen this cutie before-" huening kai's mama gushes, referring to taehyun.

sqid boy's cheeks go a dusty pink as he bows at the round woman. huening kai laughs and spits crumbs everywhere. 

"i'm kang taehyun," taehyun introduces himself.

she looks like she's trying to remember something as taehyun notices huening kai's dad. he looks like a human stick-man.

"and what are your parents' names ? i might know them."

"my mum is named ahn hyejin-" taehyun says, mentally face-palming. now he'd have to explain why his last name isn't ahn.

"so she didn't take your dad's last name-" huening kai's dad says in a joking tone. taehyun doesn't laugh. and huening kai wears a pained expression as he watches taehyun suffer.
