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

Chapter 22

"I'll carry it for you," he smiled.

"Thanks."

Beomgyu carefully climbed out of the car, and began making his way towards the stairs of the building. Realizing the steps were slippery, Yeonjun turned around, extending his elbow out.

The red haired looked at him with a confused look.

"Hmm?"

"Hold my arm. I don't want you to fall."

"Oh..."

At least Beomgyu could excuse the tips of his ears turning red with him being cold, as there was indeed a frosty chill in the air, not unusual for the season and the month.

"Thanks."

Beomgyu accepted Yeonjun's elbow, hooking his arm through the loop, and like this, the pair ascended the stairs.

"... I'm sure Hao and Hanbin will catch me up."

"Yeah. But it's not like the material is important this time around, we're nearing the end of the year already," Yeonjun finished.

"True... time flies."

"Yeah."

The ravenette stopped in his tracks, taking the key out of his left pocket with his hand belonging to his intertwined arm with Beomgyu, inserting it into the keyhole before unlocking the door.

As soon as Beomgyu entered it, he inhaled the air of the apartment, relishing in the clean yet homey smell of the walls.

"Hospital air is horrible," he said.

"I agree."

Yeonjun placed the bag down on the floor, stretching his back.

"So, what do you wanna do?" he asked.

Beomgyu shrugged.

"I dunno. What do you suggest?"

"Hmm..."

Yeonjun thought for a minute.

"How about... I prepare some popcorn for both of us, and we can watch a movie together. You can choose."

"Really?!"

"Sure, why not?"

"YAY!!" Beomgyu exclaimed.

Ah, this kid can be cute sometimes.

Before their movie night however, the two decided to get ready for bed. Yeonjun simply changed into his pajamas whereas Beomgyu made sure to take a nice and hot shower that had plenty of steam coating the mirrors (he truly wanted to get rid of the hospital stench), and sat down on the couch in his fluffy checkered pajamas to watch the news while Yeonjun started popping popcorn in the microwave and poured themselves sodas into two cups.

He didn't even need to ask Beomgyu which one he wanted; he knew his preference already. 

Meanwhile, the news just so happened to be talking about the fire.

"A few days ago, a fire broke out at Lotus Park University, consuming a good quarter of the buildings. To everyone's relief, no one was killed, but many suffered burn wounds and injuries; the last count added up to 25 students and professors. The culprit whose identity will remain anonymous, as requested, has been caught by the police and is taken into questioning. The only available information that can be revealed to the public is that the culprit wasn't a student, but a soon to be high school graduate who allegedly was planning to attend the university..."

"They finally caught the culprit," Beomgyu said.

Hearing this, the ravenette peered over his shoulder to look at the TV screen, which currently showed a blurred image of the culprit.
