chapter 51

Japan, 2020

Beomgyu was still in the hotel room, standing on his knees in front of nightstand as his eyes kept looking at it with a stubborn and focused stare, his one hand resting on the surface, trying to feel every single atom of it. He had been manipulating with little things before but he needed to do the same with bigger objects too now to expand his powers further and learn how to control it. He was feeling a great connection to the furniture in front of him, his brain cells were feeling every molecule and atom as he tried to lift it up, seeing how the nightstand moved off the floor and slowly went up in the air, Beomgyu's eyes lighting up in joy as he tried hard to keep his connection with the object. He slowly raised his body and stood up while the nightstand kept lifting upper and upper, slowly reaching the ceiling.

"It's impressive", Taehyun spoke, causing a happy smile to spread on older's lips.

"I know", he answered, "But don't pretend that you have never done the same"

"I'm not, but I don't have such powers anymore"

"You will be able to get them back soon. Wait for me"

"Okay. Stop talking to me now. Don't take your attention off your task"

Beomgyu nodded his head as he slowly tried to heave the nightstand down carefully, without losing control over it, but he was feeling how his mind was getting weak for resisting the heavy weight of the object which resulted in him feeling dizzy and colliding to the floor as the object hit the floor with a loud thump. Beomgyu moaned feebly as he felt very very weak, noticing blood pouring slowly from his nose since he felt wetness on his philtrum, "Fuck", he cursed as he lazily leaned against the floor with his palm and lifted his body up, flopping on the bad immediately.

"You okay?"

"No, but I'll be fine", he assured, taking the napkin from the drawer of the nightstand and placing it around his nose.

"Don't push yourself too much, Gyu", Taehyun said in a concerned voice.

"I have no other way, I'm running out of money and I won't be able to pay for the rent after a week"

"Does that mean that I'll see you soon?"

"Hopefully", Beomgyu said enthusiastically, he was thrilled by the idea even though he was going to put his life in a big danger for it. He had to do everything correctly or he knew, there would be no way out if he failed and something didn't work as planned.

"Hyung", Taehyun uttered in a sad voice this time as Beomgyu sensed his gloom and fear rising into his body, making him feel heavy, "I'm very scared that something bad will happen to my brother. I was more hopeful when you were with him because you would protect him if anyone wanted to do something bad to him, but he has no one now"

"Yeonjun is closer to him now. He won't let this happen", Beomgyu said and stood up as he walked over to the trash can and threw his bloody napkin into it, entering the bathroom afterwards to wash his hands and face.

"Yes, but Soobin is lying to him and I don't think Yeonjun will forgive him when he finds the truth"

Beomgyu took a deep heavy sigh after he was done washing and dried his hands and face with a towel. He didn't know whether it was a good idea if he called Soobin and said everything to him, because being another person in his plan could mess everything up, plus, there was nothing Soobin could do since he had no powers like him, but he didn't want Taehyun to be hurt and worried either. He was feeling like he had to make a choice between bad and worse, but the problem was that he didn't know which decision would be the worse one.
