Sherlock - TAEGYU

Chapter 6: Explain

Taehyun's cheeks immediately turned red as he let out a nervous chuckle. "Y-You're not gonna kiss me, right? I know you're just teasing me-

The younger couldn't finish his sentence when Beomgyu suddenly leaned closer to him, he was so close that Taehyun could feel the older's warm breath fanning his face. His breath hitched as the brunette whispered, his voice lowered a couple of octaves. "What's wrong sweetcheeks? Cat cut your tongue?"

Taehyun quickly pushed the older away and gave him a glare. "Stop teasing me and continue!"

Beomgyu chuckled before clearing his throat. "Okay okay, So you could say my dad's pretty strict, but he's a great father. Anyways, since my dad was busy with the army and stuff. So when summer vacation came around, my mom decided take us to the academy she runs in Daegu, it was a detective academy. A famous one at that, she made my brother and I seat-in on one of the lessons they were teaching in the academy. It piqued my interest so much that I told her to enroll me at the academy. Mom was hesitant at first, but she soon gave in and did so. So all my childhood years in summer I studied at my mom's academy. Not to brag, but I was ranked first in every class, and even the youngest." Beomgyu smiled proudly.

Taehyun scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Not to brag but your tone's clearly bragging."

The brunette chuckled at Taehyun's sassy comment. "A-Anyways, everything was perfectly fine. That is until I reached middle school," the younger saw how his hyung's eyes darkened when the words 'middle school' rolled out his tongue.

"Why?" Taehyun asked, scooting a bit closer to the older.

Beomgyu let out a sigh, and went on. "It was around my first month at school. This kid went up to me and asked what I did in summer, and of course since I was so honest. I told him that I attended summer classes in a detective academy in Daegu. He didn't believe me at first, so I deduced that he was an otaku and he reads hentai. Well it wasn't really hard, he always covers his phone when he when and his friends watch something on his phone. He has an anime figure keychain, a limited edition. And he secretly brings inappropriate magazines at school, the idiot got scared and even tried to deny it. But I saw him stashing a magazine that had an inappropriate picture of an anime woman. I also told him to hand me his bag so I can prove it. However, he got angry and accused me of stalking him so called me a freak. And a day after that, I found out that I just became the school's campus freak."

"You were..... bullied?"

"Well, I was bullied verbally. But that wasn't a big deal-

"Not a big deal? Hyung you were a victim of verbal bullying! How can that not be a big deal?!" Taehyun was mad, not because of his hyung but because of those people who bullied his favorite hyung! Why do people always bully someone because of that? Why is society such a judgemental prick?!

"Now now Taehyun-ah. I know your thinking about how society's such a judgemental prick. But that's what society is, when people see someone being different and unique. They criticize them for their unusualness, their personality, their looks and et cetera. Because in this world, being yourself, is a crime itself. That's why I created a facade to blend in, in this judgemental society. But not because I got insecure, oh no that's not it. It's for gathering information and making acquaintances. Turns out being a jolly person is quite useful at times," Beomgyu said in a casual tone.

"So..... y-you don't really see me as a friend?" Taehyun asked sadly, wondering if the older also sees him as an acquaintance like any other people Beomgyu met.

The brunette stared at the younger, he let out a sigh and flicked Taehyun's forehead. "Ow!" the blonde cried, his hand flying to his forehead.

"You're such an idiot, Taehyun-ah. You know that right?" Beomgyu stared deep into the younger's warm pretty eyes. "I never thought of you as an acquaintance, you dummy."

"Then what?!" Taehyun shouted, frustrated.

The older watched in amusement as Taehyun glared at him. Beomgyu cracked a warm smile at the younger. "Because....."

'You're special to me, Taehyun-ah.' Beomgyu thought, but he'd never say that out loud.

Taehyun rose a brow, "Because?"

"Because when I first saw you, I knew you can be trusted. And for the record, I never told anyone about my past nor me having a brother. So you consider yourself as my one and only friend in this school, Taehyun-ah." Beomgyu explained with a small smile.

Trusts him, for some reason, Taehyun felt his cheeks heat up when the older said he trusts him. And he was his one and only friend in school.

One and only, the mere words makes his heart flip.

"T-Tsk, hyung you're so cheesy. Who uses the 'when I first saw you' and 'one and only' line today?" Taehyun sassed, trying his best to hide his blushing face. But he was startled when the younger felt an arm around his waist, pulling him closer to his hyung.

Beomgyu leaned closer until their noses touched. "I do, got a problem with that sweetcheeks?" he asked in a deep yet teasing voice.

And that's how Beomgyu got his busted lip.
