Paris in the rain I Taejun Sookai

Chapter 20

The morning came with sunshine pouring out in Yeonjun’s room where he had forgotten to close the blinds before sleeping. Last night he waited for Taehyun until his eyes gave up and the wind lulled him to sleep.

Now the clattering of pans and plates woke him, it took some blinking and groans when he finally understood that there was someone in his kitchen. Yeonjun walked out but relaxed once he saw Taehyun talking to a pan, wait he was talking to what?
‘What are you doing?’ Yeonjun asked as he stood at the door of the kitchen looking at the younger boy who now seemed to be threatening a pan to cooperate with him. I mean Yeonjun was no-one to judge but who the hecks talks to a pan?

‘Oh, Yeonjun. Nothing, I was just making us some breakfast. Why don’t you go get dressed up before that.’
Yeonjun walked down again as he buttoned his shirt seeing Taehyun on his phone sitting with breakfast settled on the table. Both sat down as they started their breakfast without any word but Yeonjun suddenly remembered last night.

‘You did not come home last night. Where were you?’
“I went to meet Beomgyu then my parents called me and there was some problem so I had to go home.’
‘Ah… you could have told me, I was worried.’
‘sorry.’

Yeonjun washed the dishes as Taehyun sat in his thoughts as he looked over at the older again and again. Yeonjun was also getting frustrated Taehyun kept on looking at him making him jittery without saying anything. Soon, Yeonjun walked towards the door to leave for work when he felt a younger one standing behind him muttering something to him, making him turn behind.
‘Do you want to say something Taehyun?’

‘Hyung are you free at 10.’ Taehyun questioned before adding ‘I bought tickets for a movie yesterday to go with a friend but his wife needed him for something. He can’t come so I thought I would treat you instead. I wanted to see this movie and the company is always better, you know.’ Taehyun added before looking down waiting for his boss’s reply.
‘Sure. I have not been to movies in a long time.’

‘Really, Oh thank God. See you when you are back.’ Taehyun smiled excitedly as he unconsciously hugged the older and kissing his cheek just how he did to his family, ex-lovers before running off to his room to plan the evening.

Yeonjun sat in his office as he touched his cheek gently as a smile touched his lips without his knowledge. Taehyun had kissed him and asked him to drive safely. To be honest, after a long time a man had touched him like this, as this thought came to his mind the smile turned to a frown as happiness in his mind was replaced with anger.

Why would Taehyun do that?
This thought consumed the mind who busied himself in work to avoid thinking about a certain brown-haired short guy.

Beomgyu entered his office as he was getting up to go back home. It was 6 but he just wanted to go home, he was tired. Yeonjun told Beomgyu about his plans with Taehyun in an attempt to leave but this just gave  Beomgyu a reason to tease Yeonjun.

‘Oh my God, Yeonjun hyung you are going on a date. This means that we need to buy your clothes.’

‘We are just going to movies and I go to movies with you too so how come this is a date. And I have clothes at home.’

‘Sorry hyung but you only have tuxedos or nightdresses or either sweatshirt. You are going out with a model and you are a CEO and owner of a clothing brand please wear nice clothes.’

Maybe this was the reason why Yeonjun found himself in a shop looking for a decent shirt as Beomgyu calls it while Beomgyu eats his brain out.

‘Taehyun likes black color. We should buy you a black shirt, here this looks good. Be a kind person to him, he is fragile. Treat him something good to eat….’

Yeonjun now started to get nervous like it was his first date, he knew that this was just a friendly outing but Beomgyu’s rambling just made him feel something.

It was 9 when Yeonjun reached home. Beomgyu had made him shop full on. He hoped that Taehyun was not home or else what was he going to think?

He entered the apartment slowly making his upstairs trying to make as little noise as possible. When he safely made his way to his room Yeonjun celebrated with a little dance before jumping in the shower. It was nearly 10 when Yeonjun looked at himself. Hair slicked back just how he had made it in the morning just neater, black button-down shirt with first few buttons left undone and blue skinny jeans accentuating his thighs.

At sharp 10 Yeonjun left his room only to meet Taehyun standing in front of his door may be coming to get him.
‘Ready to go?’ Yeonjun asked as he looked at the pretty person standing in front of him.

Taehyun was just wearing a white oversized white button-down shirt with black jeans. They both reminded Yeonjun of YinYang.

Taehyun drove them to their destination. Yeonjun was confused; they had left all of the famous and pretty cinemas behind, where Taehyun was planning to take him. He wanted to ask but he was so nervous that he could not speak. His confusion was soon cleared when Taehyun drove to a clearing just on the outskirts of the city. This place. This place, Yeonjun looked around with a sense of familiarity coming. They were going to the drive-in cinema. A place where Yeonjun had always wanted to go but his life never allowed him to. Taehyun stopped for a while to buy tickets and later on snacks and drove to an empty place nearer to the screen.

Yeonjun looked at Taehyun as the younger took off his seatbelt before placing the snack in the middle. The younger looked over to him pausing for a few seconds before leaning towards him. Yeonjun stared at him without moving as Taehyun took off his belt too and went back to his place and pushed his chair back. Yeonjun too got comfortable as the movie started.

They watched a film on young innocent one-sided love turned into a beautiful love story. Yeonjun had liked this movie when he once believed in love but now it had been so long that he had watched a romantic movie. Nowadays he always preferred action or thriller films.

Night blossomed to its full beauty while two boys sat in a car laughing together, crying together at a romantic yet quite sad film.

They both forgot their reality at the moment. No-one was sad, no-one was a liar. All there existed was love and truth as they drove back late at night.

Yeonjun felt happiness he had not felt in a while and Taehyun with a satisfied smile, knowing that he was the reason for Yeonjun’s happiness.
