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

Chapter 22

"That's good to know. They better never come to our university," he replied.

"We could beat them up if we wanted to lol," Beomgyu responded, snickering.

His laughter was infectious as ever, so Yeonjun joined in on the chortling.

"Ha ha."

Yeonjun walked into the living room, carrying the bowl of popcorn and Beomgyu's soda in his hands. He handed him the bowl and his drink, before grabbing his soda filled glass from the kitchen to sit down next to him.

"So, what movie?" he asked.

"Can we check Netflix?"

"Of course."

Yeonjun grabbed the remote control and started browsing through Netflix. The two looked through the top trending for tonight, and settled on the movie Mamma Mia! as Beomgyu recognized the title to be a famous ABBA song.

So being the fan he was of the group, he of course wanted to watch it, and deciding he'll spoil Beomgyu for a few days, Yeonjun agreed to watching it.

The two sat next to each other, remaining silent as they chewed on the popcorn, but both of them could sense that they wanted to talk about something.

Beomgyu paused the movie.

"What do you think the university is gonna do?" he asked.

"By rebuilding?"

"Yep. Until the building is repaired, we can't have classes."

"Well... we could ask if we should start a fundraiser," Yeonjun said.

The red haired quirked a brow.

"A fundraiser?"

"Yeah. We could make some sort of field day, and people could come around to visit, and for their entries, they pay for tickets, and they can give donations."

"Hmm..."

A smile formed on Beomgyu's face.

"That's a good idea. Let's email the principal later and let her know."

The ravenette returned the smile.

"Yeah."

Yeonjun played the movie again, and they continued watching, not noticing how Beomgyu's eyes started drooping...

... until Yeonjun suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder. When he turned to his right, he saw Beomgyu laying his head on it, eyes closed.

Oh. He must have fallen asleep.

Yeonjun paused the movie, not wanting it to wake him up.

It's funny.

Had this happened a few months ago, Yeonjun would have probably shoved Beomgyu off the couch.

But now, he just let him lay on his shoulder.

Like that, he could look at him properly.

And at that moment, Yeonjun realized something he never had before.

Beomgyu was a pretty sleeper, looking so peaceful and happy as he slumbered, as if he didn't have a single issue in the world.

Yeonjun carefully reached his hand up, and brushed a piece of stray hair out of the model's face, touching his soft skin.

And it was there where Yeonjun let his train of thoughts loose, once more.

He wondered at that moment how it would have been if they never made up a few months ago and decided to actually get along.

Would I have cared less of what happened to him? Would I be like this, so tender, towards him? Would I... be actually rather okay with getting married to him?

Just a few days ago, as mentioned, Yeonjun was told that their time of just remaining the way they were at the moment is coming to its end, and that they'll soon need to organize the wedding.

Yeonjun knew his parents had expected him to get mad, yet he didn't.

In fact, he was calm the whole time.

As if it didn't bother him, and that he'd be okay with marrying Beomgyu.

Because...

The ravenette sighed, shaking off his thoughts.

No... I'm certain that Soobin is the only one for my heart. Beomgyu... I like him a lot, but it's not the way I feel about Soobin. But... it's more likely that I'd end up with Beomgyu. Soobin and I won't have a chance anymore; I lost hope already. Should I... give Beomgyu a chance? To truly open my heart?

Growing frustrated, Yeonjun pushed all those thoughts away, not wanting to go through this dilemma again.

He shut the TV off and placed the remote control on the couch armrest, and slipped his arms under Beomgyu, quietly praying for his back.

With every ounce of strength in his body, Yeonjun lifted him off the couch, making sure Beomgyu was securely in his arms, and carried him towards the bedroom. Thankfully he was rather light, so it didn't take him as much energy as Yeonjun thought he would need.

The ravenette placed him down on the bed, and turned the lights in their room off. He quietly went to the bathroom to brush his teeth, and returned to their bedroom to lay down beside him.

It was a starry sky tonight, and a crescent moon was outside as well, slightly shining into the room through the window.

Yeonjun took a glance at Beomgyu, his face highlighted by the moonlight, and a thought suddenly crossed his mind.

Usually, the two slept with the most distance possible, feeling already far too awkward enough to even share a bed in the first place.

But tonight, the first time they're together again in a few days, Yeonjun decided that the boundaries and distances were unnecessary.

Sooner or later, they won't matter anymore.

He shuffled closer to Beomgyu, taking his lean hand, and held it in mine, before Yeonjun too fell asleep, not caring what the reaction may be tomorrow.

He just wanted to be close with him tonight.

We've traveled the seas, we've ridden the stars
We've seen everything from Saturn to Mars
As much as it seems like you own my heart
It's astronomy, we're two worlds apart

A/N: Guess who's back? I'm sorry I haven't updated in weeks, I was on vacation in the US and had almost no time to actually sit down and write/edit, so I decided to take a break from all my active storybooks. But we're back now for a while, because there's actually only a few chapters left before the finale, so stay tuned Yeongyuists readers 🤭💕✨
