CHAPTER THREE

Just a few minutes later, Yeonjun seemed to calm down a little, his sobs started to become quiet and he slowly pulled away, wiping his tears. "I-I'm sorry, your jacket is wet. I-I didn't mean t-" "It's okay, you don't have to apologize for anything. I can completely understand", the younger interrupted and smiled softly. Yeonjun sniffled and nodded, fumbling on the buttons of his coat. "Um- So you don't have a place to stay, right?" Again, the older slightly nodded. "Normally I would've asked my friends but they're all visiting their families", he added and Beomgyu seemed like he was thinking about something, an idea that popped up in his head. "You could come with me if you like. I know it's pretty careless and naive because you don't know me but actually, I would feel bad if I'll leave you here alone in the rain and the freezing cold", he suggested and shrugged. Yeonjun thought about it for a moment. It would be really naive to go with the younger but staying at the bus station and sleeping on the bench, probably freezing to death wasn't an option either. What could possibly happen if he would go with Beomgyu? He could kill or torture him, what Yeonjun actually didn't assumed, based on the younger's soft appearance but it could possibly happen. The blonde sighed, his day and his life couldn't get worse, so the thought of possibly getting killed in a warm appartment rather than freezing to death on the streets was definitely more pleasant.

"I don't assume you're some sort of creep who's torturing people in his basement or something, so I would like to come with you. Only if I really don't bother you, it's okay if you don't want to", Yeonjun was rambling at this point causing Beomgyu to let out an amused chuckle. It sounded so sweet and pure in the older's ears, he immediately smiled and felt a tingly, bubbly feeling erupting in his stomach. "No, no, I'm an absolute angel", Beomgyu grinned and waved his hands like wings beside his upper body, making Yeonjun laugh about his joke.

Oh, little did he know.
"But back to the topic, as I already said, you'd never bother me. I'm happy if I can help you, so uh-" The younger looked up at the dark night sky while thinking about what he should say next. It stopped raining for now, in a week was christmas but sadly, it still hadn't snowed yet. "It stopped raining, maybe we should go before it'll start again. My apartment is not far from here, maybe five minutes." He looked back at the taller in an asking way, who nodded an stood up, grabbing his bag on the ground and following the slightly smaller.

"It's not the biggest and a little messy. I didn't expected someone to come over today", Beomgyu warned as he opened the door with his key. The lights in the staircase weren't the brightest but still Yeonjun was able to notice the slight blush on the younger's cheeks. It made him look even cuter. The taller male smiled a little to himself.

How can a person look so cute and heavenly beautiful, just so perfect, like God created him with the greatest dedication he had, taking his time for every detail?
It was insane, how beautiful Beomgyu was.

As the door was open, the raven-haired let Yeonjun step in first, nervously fumbling on the light switch. He never took someone with him before, Yeonjun was the first. "Um- j-just feel uh- h-home." He didn't really know what to say, so he just stuttered something he remembered from a film he'd seen, scratching the back of his dark head while he sheepishly looked at the taller, who was looking around in his apartment, before looking back at the younger. Beomgyu had been following him the whole time, rather quietly. "I like it here. It's not too big, which makes it really cozy and comfortable", the older smiled and ruffled the younger's soft hair, causing him to look away flustered.

Silence took over them again as they were just standing there in Beomgyu's living room, gazing at each other.
"Y-you can use the bathroom to change." The raven-haired pointed at the older's still wet, white shirt. Yeonjun blinked a few times, he had totally forgotten about his cold, wet clothes. "O-oh, yeah. That would be better", the blonde chuckled and grabbed his bag, walking out of the room, pausing midway and looked back at Beomgyu questioning. "Where's your bathroom?" He was scratching the back of his head with his left hand. "The first door on the left", the younger answered while showing with his finger the direction. "Thanks, Gyu", Yeonjun smiled softly at the smaller, before leaving the room with his bag. Beomgyu watched him leave with a fond smile and rosy cheeks, feeling his heart pounding in his chest and those tingly butterflies in his stomach. Oh God, no...

Shocked, Beomgyu shook his head and pulled on his dark hairs. "No, no, no, you can't have a crush on Yeonjun. Stop it. This is wrong, totally wrong. You're dumb, absolutely dumb. Can't you control your heart for one time in your god damn life, just one time?", he scolded himself quietly, running up and and down in front of his couch. He wasn't allowed to have a crush on the older, his 'job' didn't allow him. "Fuck." Normally the younger would never swear but in this situation he couldn't help. This situation was so fucked up already.
He'd already fallen for Yeonjun, there was no way to get his heart back.
Yeonjun stole it with his soft, charming smile, his beautiful, dark eyes, his honey-like voice and his perfect personality on day one, the day Beomgyu firstly appeared on earth ever to protect the older.

How could someone not fall this absolutely stunning guy?
How could someone resist him?
