Meant To Be, Or Not? - [YEONGYU FF]

Chapter 14

The action is rather romantic.

Realizing what Beomgyu just thought in his head, he felt his face burn and he immediately drank the unfortunately hot tea, nearly choking on it and spitting the contents out.

What the heck is wrong with me?!

Beomgyu calmed down, and reread the last part again.

"I guess I'll look forward to the next letter."

The next letter was delivered to him exactly one week later. Seungbo brought it again with his breakfast, and Beomgyu was eager to read it, chewing on his croissant as he did

Hey again Beomgyu
How are you this week?
I hope you're taking good care of yourself and that you're starting to make a recovery. From what the doctors said to your parents, you could come back home in a week or so.
I hope that's the case. Not cuz I miss you lol, but that you can get back on track with your daily life.
Anyways: you're not missing out on much in Uni. People are asking for your health, and usually, Hanbin or Zhanghao tell them that it's private. And if they are too pestering, I yell at them to shut up.
I have to go, I'm at the pet shelter I work at and I need to help a customer. I'll write to you next week, and hopefully, we can see each other soon.
From Yeonjun hyung

Beomgyu's heart nearly somersaulted seeing him write 'Hyung' at the end. Unknowingly, a huge smile crossed his face.

"I call this development."

I wonder where he got the idea though.

+x+

"Yeonjun, we have a customer!" Yoongi yelled.

"Coming!"

Yeonjun came running out of the veterinarian section, and skidded to a halt when he saw who the customer was.

"Hello," the brunette said.

"Oh... you're Kang Taehyun, aren't you?" Yeonjun asked.

"Yep. Wow, you could recognize me; usually some people have doubts cuz I sometimes have too much makeup on. Or maybe I'm too unreal for their eyes," he joked.

The ravenette laughed along.

"How can I help you?" he questioned.

"Can you give my cat a checkup? All the local vets don't have an appointment spot open."

"Okay. Come along."

Yeonjun brought Taehyun to the back room, who set his cat on the bed. The older and taller male got his necessary equipment, and started checking on the cat.

"You're Beomgyu's fiancé, aren't you?" Taehyun suddenly asked.

Yeonjun was injecting his cat with a vaccine and he nearly dug the needle too much inside that it could have harmed his pet.

"Ehm, yes I am."

"Oh... Beomgyu told me a bit about you."

A brow from none other than the ravenette was raised.

Aha. I can only imagine what kind of false garbage was spewed about me by that brat.

"Mhm. Aren't you the one who was involved in that dating scandal?" Yeonjun asked, wanting to switch topics.

Even if the topic wasn't the best one to switch to.

"I would prefer to keep this buried in the back of my mind, but yes, I am the one," Taehyun responded.

"Right."

Yeonjun sighed.

"I'm sorry this happened to you. Beomgyu has no consent."

The brunette looked at him, puzzled.

"Why would you say that?"

"Didn't he make you cheat on your boyfriend, that actor Kai Huening?"

Taehyun bursted out into bright laughter.

"Beomgyu? Trying to make me cheat on Kai for his own benefit? Never. Beomgyu was the one who took care of half the damage control."

Yeonjun froze.

"He what?"

This was unexpected.

"Yeah. During that photoshoot, where that asshole of a cameraman made us do all of those poses, Beomgyu was the one sticking up for me. He knew I wasn't comfortable, and he tried to convince them to not make us do this. And even though he couldn't stop them, he made sure to always ask me for permission if our pose was rather intimate, and comforted me too every time I was on the verge of tears. Plus, his family immediately took great care to cover up the scandal, with Beomgyu even reaffirming our relationship status publicly on his Instagram."

Yeonjunjust stood there, slowly feeling guilty with every word he was saying.

Am I that blinded by my disgust for people like him?

Taehyun looked at the ravenette deep in thought, somehow able to guess what he was thinking.

"You know, Beomgyu told me that you don't like him. I don't get why; Beomgyu is a really good person, and he looks out for people. If it wasn't him who I did that photoshoot with, the whole outcome of this would have been completely different. You're lucky to have someone like him."

You're lucky to have someone like him.

Yeonjun finally sighed.

"I've been an ass to him. I—"

"You shouldn't feel the need to force yourself to tell me everything. The person you should talk to is Beomgyu. Why don't you start by making him feel better while he's in the hospital?"

"How? I can't communicate with him."

"How about... you write him letters? It displays hard work and effort and kindness," Taehyun suggested.

"Really?"

And that's how Yeonjun ended up writing letters to Beomgyu every week, until the third week which was in November, when he could come back home.

A/N: Taehyun is officially my favorite character here 🤭 I am SO sorry this update is a day late, Wattpad basically overdosed yesterday on whatever drugs it was on, and I couldn't access any of my stories, so it really wasn't my intention to not update yesterday. But hey, we're moving forward with the book now :D see y'all Thursday 🫶
