Unexpected Falling | Taegyu

Chapter 16⚠

The day of the party drew closer and surprisingly Taehyun had texted him again saying that he would pick him up. Beomgyu was waiting downstairs and watched as Taehyun’s car turned around the corner and pulled up to the side.

Beomgyu felt awkward, he did not know what to tell the man, especially since Taehyun knew now that he had ‘caught feelings’, groaning inwardly at drunk Beomgyu’s choice of words. He threw a hesitant smile at the man before sliding into the passenger seat, buckling up before Taehyun was driving again.

“Thanks for coming.” Taehyun said, clearing his throat loudly and keeping his eyes fixated on the road.

“You are welcome.” Beomgyu mumbled, wondering if he should mention the drunk night at all.

The rest of the ride went in silence and Beomgyu wondered if Taehyun had a superpower of locking things that he did not want to hear in a box and burying it deep inside. He tried to observe Taehyun from his peripheral vision, the man was wearing a black silk shirt, that made his blond hair stand out more, his fingers adjourned with rings and an expensive watch on his wrist. He looked really good, as usual, always calm and collected while Beomgyu seemed to be the one whose mind was always whirring with thoughts. However Beomgyu could tell there was something on Taehyun's mind by the way his shoulders were tensed and his grip on the steering wheel was tighter.

Soon, they arrived at the hotel where the party was held and Taehyun parked his car, getting out with Beomgyu following suit.

Taehyun continued to stay quiet as they entered inside, Beomgyu exhaling a sigh of relief when he saw their friends were already there. They already had drinks in their hands and Taehyun headed over to a waiter, bringing him a drink over too.

“Thanks.” Beomgyu said as he sipped his glass of wine. Taehyun threw him a smile in acknowledgement before going over to a group of people that looked important, starting a conversation with them.

“So, how are things going on with Taehyun?” Soobin asked, popping up beside him.

“Horrible.” Beomgyu groaned, “He ignored me the whole week, and I didn’t contact him like you said, and he suddenly said he would be picking me up for the party but remained silent throughout the ride.” He murmured sadly, staring at the man as he laughed at something someone said.

“Ah Beomgyu…” Soobin sighed, “I wish I could knock some sense into both of you.”

Beomgyu smiled, a tired smile, “I think I should talk to him today, sort out this mess.”

“It is about time.” Soobin said sadly.

Soobin looked up and nudged Beomgyu, “He is heading over, I will be over by the food section if you need me.” He whispered before strolling away.

Hueningkai and Yeonjun were nowhere to be found, probably eating somewhere, or exploring the place and Jungwon and Jay were a few feet away, deeply engrossed in a conversation and were in their own sweet world.

“This seems like a fun party.” Beomgyu whispered to Taehyun as he reached him. Taehyun was holding another drink now, that appeared to be whiskey and was fidgeting.

“I know it is boring.”

“No, it is not, really, I have just never been to a party like this.”

Taehyun sighed, downing his drink before reaching out to one of the servers for another drink.

“It is not that great.” He admitted, “But my dad forces me to go to parties like these and suck up to the big shots.”

“It might not be all that bad.” Beomgyu tried to reassure but Taehyun just hummed, staying quiet.
