MY EYES ADORE YOU | TAEGYU

0.

─── "love is enough," they say.
─── "the time will come," they say.
─── "you have to love yourself before loving someone else," they say.

bullshit.

i've waited years for someone. years. hell, the last time i went out on a date was back in college. i'm twenty-four years old and my mister right hasn't come.

beomgyu and i have lived together for over two years now. he told me after graduation, after finishing college, we would move in together. i didn't like it at first, but slowly and surely i smile back on it and chuckle at how stubborn I was. i enjoy our time together. we take care of one another and that's all i could ever ask for in a best friend; he's perfect.

"taehyun-ah, where's the soondae bokkeum from last night?" beomgyu asks me as he peeks through the crevice of the kitchen wall.

"i ate it, sorry hyung," i reply with a somewhat shy smile as I picture myself being yelled at later after the gang is gone.

"you're such a pig, taehyun," soobin says; he's sitting next to me on the couch in the living room.

"oh, shut it," i reply with a snarky tone, i scroll through the movies to see which one we could all enjoy.

"you're just bitchy because you don't have a girlfriend," kai tells with a cocky smirk forming onto his lip. i swear. sometimes i just want to tackle kai and pound him to the ground.

"leave him alone, kai. don't' you see he's sensitive?" yeonjun teases me while sitting on the other couch in the living room. i scoff at him before rolling my eyes.

beomgyu then enters the living room and plops some next to me with a giddy look on his face; he has such a nice smile. i look over at him and reply with a smile once he nudged me to the side.

we picked a comedy movie after spending twenty minutes looking through all the genres metflix had to offer. every-time a funny scene flashed on the screen, my ears perked at the sound of beomgyu's laughter and my eyes wandered towards him. sure, i've known him for quite a long time now, but i never once's noticed his not so noticeable dimples on his face appear; somehow it suited him quite well.

"good pick, taehyun," yeonjun says as he looks my way and flashes me a quick toothy smile. i just smile and nod as my ears begin to turn red.

"taehyun, are you alright?" beomgyu asks me as he moves closer towards me. i can't help but look at him, he's such a masterpiece to look at. "you're face is sort of...red?"

i knew it. it's too obvious.

"i'll be right back," i say as i get up from the couch and head towards our shared bathroom.

i hate the fact that our apartment only has one bathroom. like, couldn't they have just managed to make another one? i hate it so much!

i close the door behind me as i enter and lock it, just in case someone tries to come in. i make my way to the sink and instantly plop both of my hands on the sink. while my eye glued to the mirror, my legs start to tremble in its place.

why now? why do i have to feel such a way towards a guy? i'm usually not like this. but...for some reason, beomgyu is all i can think about right now. why is that?

i take a deep breath before splashing my face with cold icy water. i rub my hands up and down my face so i wouldn't miss a single spot on my face. gracefully, i managed to cool down. i take another deep breath before twisting the knob and walking towards the rest of the gang.

immediately, beomgyu gets up and rushes over to me. i swear i could feel myself slowly having a heart attack form his upset and worried face. he grabs my arms and squeezes them gently as his eyes lock with mine. shit balls.

"baby, are you alright?" beomgyu says with a hand rising to caress my cheek.

beomgyu has always called me baby for some reason. at first, I didn't care about it as much as i do now. that word makes me weak to my knees after i discovered I had feelings for my older brother.

"gyu, i'm fine," i say, i tilt my head to the side so i could fit my face in the palm of his hand. i then slowly close my eyes and form a smile onto my lips as his warm touch soothes me.

"i'm glad my baby is alright. now come on, the movies just getting good!" beomgyu says as he takes his hand away from my cheeks and pulls me back to the couch where the rest were at.

as i said before, beomgyu is my best friend and i love him. but the way i love him isn't the way he loves me. he only sees me as another guy he knows, while i see him as my everything. he will never see me as anything else than a brother or someone he can talk to. nothing else. am i sad? a little, but i prefer to be in his life then to not be. i'll confess one day, but that day is way far into the future. i'll just enjoy our company as it is.

for the rest of the evening, the guys and i played bored games, had some laughs, and ended it with a sleepover.
