Deception | Taegyu

Chapter 10 ⚠

The smile that would appear on Taehyun’s face would be enough fuel for the rest of Beomgyu’s day.

Beomgyu was never in a fake relationship before, he didn’t know how it usually worked, he didn’t even know how a real relationship worked, Yeonjun being the only one in his life so far and even that not lasting. But it might be different for Taehyun. The man was really open with his flings and could get any guy or girl easily. Beomgyu could just be another interesting challenge for Taehyun at this point.

Beomgyu just sighed before replying to Soobin, “Yeah…I am glad he came into my life when I really needed him.”

Deep down, Beomgyu knew it was not a lie. He was grateful to have Taehyun in his life.

“You know you could tell me anything you wanted right?” Soobin said, his eyes piercing into Beomgyu’s as he scrutinized him.

“I know Hyung…” Beomgyu trailed off before continuing, “Anyways, how does a ski trip sound like?”

“A ski-trip?”

“Yeah… don’t you think that would be a perfect setting for you and Kai to get together?”

The trick worked as Soobin got distracted and started making plans. His parents owned a ski resort and they decided to choose a weekend when everyone would be free to head over there.

“So… you are really okay with Yeonjun coming right?” Soobin asked.

Beomgyu was surprised to find that he hadn’t thought about Yeonjun in a while.

“Yes, of course.”

As Soobin dropped Beomgyu off, the man reached over the seat, pulling Beomgyu back into a hug again. Beomgyu’s eyes widened, as he hugged his friend back, wondering what was up. Soobin was not usually the clingy one in their friendship and it would always be Beomgyu who would try to initiate the hugs.

“Sorry…” Soobin laughed as he pulled away, “I was just so worried about you…we didn’t even have a proper outing together in months, so I am glad you are fine.”

Beomgyu tried to swallow the lump down his throat and smiled at him gently, “Stop being sappy…of course I am fine.”

Soobin smiled up at him sheepishly before waving at him, “I will see you again, Gyu.”

Beomgyu got out of the car, the smile never leaving his face as he waved back at his best friend before making his way to the elevator.

As Beomgyu entered his room, and switched his laptop on to check his emails, his breath hitched as he saw an email from a familiar address. The results were in.

He thought about Taehyun’s words, about how no matter what the results were, he worked hard, and inhaled in a deep breath before opening it.

He was selected.

His plan ended up being the one that was chosen.

He did it.

Beomgyu gasped out loud before jumping up from his seat. He knew he had to break the news to the world but the first person that came to Beomgyu’s mind was Taehyun. He didn’t know why, but he had to tell Taehyun first.

Beomgyu hurried out of his flat, before knocking on the door beside his.

The door was flung open by a frustrated looking Taehyun, whose eyes visibly softened as it landed on Beomgyu.

“Oh, come in Beomgyu…sorry give me a moment.” The younger man requested, stepping back to let Beomgyu in before shutting the door and running to the back yelling, “Kang-dae, that toy is not yours!”
