you're my one and only ; yeongyu

28; storyboard

the days past by slowly, and the friend group unfortunately split into two—soobin, kai and yeonjun as a trio and taehyun and beomgyu as a duo. there were still on good terms, either than yeonjun and beomgyu.

the past 2 weeks for beomgyu was just exams after exams, the stress pressing down on him in a way that he felt suffocated. he locked himself in his room whenever he went home, and lived in the library until it closed. occasionally, soobin and kai would go over and pass him a sandwich, and other times taehyun would go over and accompany the older as he studied.

"do you not need to study?" beomgyu asked one day, looking at taehyun with mild amusement.

taehyun shrugged and went back to his phone, "i know everything already, i don't need to revise anything."

beomgyu tsk-ed, and went back to his pile of notes, resting his head on taehyun's shoulder. taehyun had been trying to get over beomgyu, but it was quite hard, since he was stuck with beomgyu for at least 5 days a week, and even hung out with him after school hours.

"oh, mr kim talked to me today. he wanted to ask you something, but you weren't in school today." taehyun said, and beomgyu sat up, suddenly interested. he had been skipping lessons, and he missed being in art class a lot.

"what did he say?"

"he told me that he needs your story board by the end of the week."

oh. the art project.

the art project that he had been working on tirelessly for the past year, the only thing that he found himself looking forward in completing.

but he didn't feel like writing the storyboard, ever since yeonjun broke him.

"i can write it for you." taehyun suggested, and beomgyu realised that he might have accidentally expressed out his inner feelings.

"no it's fine! i'll complete it by then."

the awkward silence that followed after lingered, and beomgyu felt horrible. he loved yeonjun, wholeheartedly, even after he tore out his heart and smashed it into a million pieces. but taehyun loved beomgyu too, equally—if not even more than how much beomgyu loved yeonjun, but beomgyu couldn't return the feeling.

"i'm sorry." beomgyu muttered after a while, and taehyun shook his head in understanding. he gently lifted up beomgyu's head so that they were facing eye to eye, and then taehyun smiled.

"it's fine."

——————————————————————————

taehyun left shortly after, and beomgyu walked him to the door. normally, the two of them would part their ways by exchanging a simple "goodbye", but that day was a little special.

just as when taehyun was about to leave, beomgyu suddenly tugged at his sweater sleeve, and taehyun turned back, eyes widening a little in mild confusion.

"yes hyung?"

"can i hug you?"

the words left beomgyu's mouth in a way where it sounded more like a plead than a request, the desperation audible in those simple words. taehyun's heart clenched at that and he nodded, knowing that it'll probably make it even harder to get over beomgyu.

beomgyu instantly hugged taehyun, and found himself sinking deeper into taehyun's small figure. he was so warm, and so snuggly. taehyun was so comforting, everything about him was comforting. his features, his adorable smile, his lovable personality—everything.

taehyun hugged beomgyu back, closing his eyes as he felt beomgyu relax when he wrapped his hands around beomgyu's waist. he knew how beomgyu liked his hugs, two hands wrapped around his waist and his face burrowed under the other person's neck.
