Stay With Me - Yeongyu FF

Chapter 36

Yeonjun POV

I end up not falling asleep after lunch, all because I'm looking at Beomgyu. He's so pretty, so ethereal... The grass caressing his cheek because he's sideways, his little smile as he dreams...

His mouth was slightly open, and some pollen was delicately entering and exiting it. For every pollen touching his lips, Beomgyu gave a small twitch, tiny, adorable. His hands were balled into fists around the corner of the table cloth, holding tightly. His feet moved every once in a while, I guess because of the tickles from the grass. I take his right hand and hold it in mine, smiling at him. It wakes him up. He smiles at me, his eyes still glistening with sleep, making him look really cute.

I wait for him to be fully awake before asking him what to do now. He says he's a little hungry, so I hand him some leftover mousse. Then he accepts to talk about the things we should do for the remainder of the day. We settle on parkour until 4pm. I'm surprised Beomgyu isn't reluctant to go, it's high up, and after seeing his father do what he did, maybe he'd be scared of heights. But I put that aside, and bring Beomgtu to the parkour area. I really like the place because it's huge and the different tracks are really diverses. Also, it's regulated. You have the necessary security and people around.

I pay for both of us and help Beomie put in the clip belt before starting an easy track. I climb first up a rocky slope and wait at the first platform for my little bear. He climbs so easily it makes me feel like I'm bad at it. It's kind of annoying: I'm trying my best to show off my talents to him, but he's better than me at everything. I wanna be the best but he's always better! I was hoping I'd have a chance to not seem as much of a panicked queer-probably-gay man as I truly am!

I'm losing myself in my panic and not moving, which makes Beomgyu tease me. HE TEASED ME! I thought I was HARD TO TEASE.

I'M NOT.

HELP AAAAAAAAAAH

"Mooooooove* he says, complaining, so I keep moving, carefully stepping on the wooden plank bridge.

Beomgyu literally runs on it.

I sigh and keep going, moving on to the ropes we had to use to get to the other side. I slide twice and burn my hand lightly, but Bromgyu manages instantly.

It's insane how wrong I was. He's not scared of heights, it's almost his natural habitat

He's a KOALA BEAR!

Once we finish this easy track, I ask Beomgyu about this.

"Have you... done this before?"
He nods: "I did some with my father"
I dare continue: "But, how are you so good? Have you done any parkour recently?"
"Not since 'Pa died. I guess I was good at it already at the time"
My next words slip out before I can stop them: "I thought what your father did would make you scared of heights"

He purses his lips. Shit.

Oh no oh no oh no oh no.

"I guess I wasn't... or like..." he starts. Oh boy, we're so awkward now.

Why do I ALWAYS screw things up!

"Yeah, true. I wonder how come..." he asks, looking genuinely skeptical of his own talent. I shrug.

Thank you, Beomgyu, for always being able to somehow dissipate awkwardness.

Mind if I ask you to teach me?
