Beomkai- They're Always Watching

Weird things had been happening to Beomgyu lately.

When he went to make toast last week, his toaster burnt all of his bread regardless of the setting.

His shower was always either too hot or freezing cold when it was never an issue before.

The radiator in his apartment broke too so it was unbearably hot to live in. When the maintenance guy fixed it, the exact opposite thing happened. The apartment would never go above 60 degrees. It was so bad that he slept at his parent's house until it was fixed.

This week, everything seemed to be normal. He also thought that about the last three weeks. At this point, he was waiting for the universe to fuck him over again.

On a Tuesday afternoon, Beomgyu sloppily tossed his bag onto the coat rack. The strap missed the hook and fell onto the floor. After forcing himself to pick it up again, he angrily shoved it back on. "Piece of shit."

Next thing he did was grab a bag of chips and turn on the T.V. Nothing sounded better than turning his brain off for a day. No worries, no stress, just pure mindless entertainment.

Channels were flipped until he found one that caught his eye. It was a reality show following the Huenings. Kai, the son, was his favorite. Secretly, he had a crush on him.

The specific episode was a rerun of their time on Family Feud. So far, the Huenings were winning. Kai was making a joke with the host. Beomgyu found himself laughing with the audience. He began laughing harder when the opposing family started an argument with David Huening.

Kai turned straight towards the camera and said "hey! You're a fan of me right?"

Beomgyu stopped mid-crunch. That wasn't in the episode. He should know. He's watched all seasons of the "The Huenings" on repeat.

The rest of the episode continued on as normal in the background except for Kai who's focus was still on the camera. "Hey you! Beomgyu right?"

Beomgyu looked around to see if this was a joke. He appeared to be alone in his place.

"Beomgyu?"

"Me?" Beomgyu pointed to himself and asked "are you? Are you talking to me?"

"Yeah! You're a fan of me right?"

"Yes? How are you? Am I dreaming?"

Kai snapped his fingers. The background completely froze. His family, the lights, the audience, everyone and everything was still except for him. "You're not dreaming! Weird things have been happening to you right?"

Beomgyu leaned forward while pushing his bag of chips to the side. "How'd you know?"

"Your toaster told me!"

"Excuse me?!"

"Something is coming Beomgyu. I've been trying to warn you but you haven't been paying attention!"

"Warn me about what?! How are you doing this?!"

Kai took his shirt off, completely ignoring the questions. "I'm on your list right? Your celebrity crush list? What number am I?"

Beomgyu began feeling very uncomfortable as he sunk further into the couch cushion. "Um. Two?"

"Who's number one?" Kai snapped his fingers again. His hair went from laying across his forehead to spiked up and parted. His pants came off next. The only clothes remaining on his body was his boxers and his shoes.

"I don't think that really matters..."

"I bet I can change my place. You'd really like me if you ever met me. Do you wanna meet me?"
