Deception | Taegyu

Chapter 9 ⚠

“Confused about what?” Taehyun asked.

“I don’t think we shouldn’t have done what we did last night…” Beomgyu sighed, his voice sounding strained as he tried to sidestep the question.

Taehyun felt his heart sink, but he was expecting this from the man himself. Of course, Beomgyu didn’t want this. Taehyun could tell that Beomgyu’s mind was being flooded with questions and was overthinking everything as per usual.

The past week had been such a whirlwind of events. They watched each other in the light that trickled in through the curtains. Taehyun furrowed his eyebrows before relaxing as he spoke.

“We don’t have to put a label on it or anything if it makes you feel better.”

“That would be great.” Beomgyu said and Taehyun closed the distance between them.

“Anything that makes you feel comfortable.” Taehyun sighed softly before stretching out a hand and pulling Beomgyu up to his feet.

Beomgyu winced as he felt the searing pain up his back and Taehyun’s eyes immediately softened with guilt as he tried to steady him.

“Does it hurt? I am so sorry.” Taehyun apologized, his hands massaging his lower back gently.

“I am okay…it had been a while, that’s all.” Beomgyu replied. “A shower would ease the pain.”

“Okay…then go take the shower.” Taehyun stated.

“Yes hyung-nim, I will.” Beomgyu laughed and he saw Taehyun’s eyes darken before the man laughed.

“Be careful of what you call me, Gyu.” He smirked as Beomgyu smacked him on his chest.

“Seriously Taehyun.” He groaned, shaking his head before stepping away from him and heading towards the shower.

Beomgyu definitely didn't want to address the change in their relationship between them right now.

After Beomgyu was done with his shower, he groaned in annoyance as he realised his clothes in the bag was wet, having gotten caught in the rain before. And of course, Taehyun only carried one spare set of clothes with him in his bag.

“I can’t wear any of these.” He sighed in discomfort as he wore the clothes, he was wearing the previous night before.

“You can change in the car, don’t worry.” Taehyun suggested, as he leaned against the wall. “I have an extra set of clothes in the car.

This didn’t stop Beomgyu from grumbling all the way to the car, the shirt was still slightly wet and was clinging onto him.

Once they reached, Taehyun opened the door to the backseat, allowing Beomgyu to enter first before climbing in after him.

“You do know I am not going to change here right?” Beomgyu called out after Taehyun had passed him the extra set of dry clothes.

“Why not?”

“So, the woman inside the house can get a free show?” Beomgyu exclaimed in disbelief.

Taehyun sighed, “I am blocking the view so don’t worry, just change quickly so we can get going.”

Beomgyu grumbled under his breath before pulling his shirt off, and Taehyun stared at the red marks that were littered all over his pale skin, feeling a tiny surge of pride in him as he looked at his artwork.

“Close your eyes, Taehyun.”

“I literally saw each and every part of your body Beomgyu…I don’t think it matters.”
