Time || YeonGyu AU✔

chapter 7

          His breath hitched in his throat when Soobin approached him even more, breaking into his personal space as his sharp eyes scanned the younger's face for no reason, his expression dead serious this time, "Do I look like a fool to you?", he questioned, causing the younger boy to sharpen his gaze as well even though he was scared to death, "Yeonjun wouldn't bring you here if you weren't someone different and important, so give me my answers or else you don't even want to know what I can do to you"

          "Are you threatening me?", Beomgyu asked in a surprised tone, his facial muscles twisted as he gazed at the boy like he was saying the craziest thing he had ever heard.

          "No", Soobin answered confidently as he tucked one hand in the pocket of his pants, "It's just a warning"

          "Do you think I know more than you do?", the younger asked in irritation, "Or that I want to stay here even one more minute? If you want to know anything then go to your friend instead me, because it's him hiding something and not me"

          No matter how Soobin didn't want to admit it, he knew the younger was right. It was Yeonjun who insisted to take him along with them and not Beomgyu. Soobin wasn't a fool, he knew whatever Beomgyu was saying was the truth, because it wasn't hard to notice it, but he just didn't like the idea of Yeonjun getting close to him, since he could see that he was interested in the younger boy and a pang of jealousy was ripping his heart. If eyes could kill, there is no doubt Beomgyu would already have been dropped dead on the ground by now, but there he was, returning the same menacing glare he was receiving from the older male. No one knows how long they would have stood there, eating each other alive with their eyes if Huening Kai hadn't interrupted them by saying that Yeonjun was already waiting for Beomgyu in his room.

          It wasn't easy, but Beomgyu still managed to rip his eyes off the black-haired male as he unclenched his fist and turned around to walk inside the house. He caught a glimpse of some blonde male who was walking downstairs at the moment and got all puzzled at the sight of the unknown person in their house. He was looking at him with a frown plastered over his face as he watched Huening Kai showing the direction of Yeonjun's room to him, and walking to his boyfriend after Beomgyu sauntered upstairs to get to the yellow-haired male.

          "Who is he?", Taehyun asked in confusion as Huening Kai rubbed his temples, knowing he had to explain everything to his boyfriend now and watch him getting angry over the fact that they didn't take him with them when they left to save their friend.

          "Come on", he said in a defeated tone as he took a gentle hold of his boyfriend's arm and led him into the living room, "I'll explain everything"

          Yeonjun didn't even move when Beomgyu opened the door and the little cracking sound reached his ears. He was standing at the window, with a photograph in his hand and his face was glowing under the golden haze of the sun. Fortunately, he was feeling much better now, since a good sleep and rest had helped him to regain his strengths and he had never felt so ready before to get the answer to the question that had been troubling his mind for years. "Your friend said that you were calling me", Beomgyu uttered after he closed the door behind him and took several quiet steps further into the room, but Yeonjun didn't move again, causing the younger to start scanning the room for distraction.

          A simple photograph, he was holding timidly in his pale hand, had never failed to envelop him in a fog of mystery. Explaining his feelings was something beyond his possibilities and no mortal person like him was capable of putting them into words. The heart in his chest would start beating from anticipation, and something exciting and distressing at the same time would flow into his aching bones. He had always known that something was odd about that boy illustrated in the little photograph, and meeting him in real life felt much more puzzling and bizarre than he could ever imagine.
