One Dream (Yeonbin)

° One °

Warnings: Swear words

What a sunny day to start. Yeonjun just got back to his dorm, instantly flopping himself to the bed. “Gosh... What a tiring day.” He muttered to himself, lost in deep thought.

He's definitely not doing well these days. The homework just kept on stacking, and his mind is corrupted by the hurtful words people tell him. “Is it true that it's better to die?” The boy thought about it for awhile. He's tired of chasing his dreams. “Screw it.” He promised to himself not to lose himself, and just continue to try. Doesn't hurt to try, right?

Just as he was about to take a nap, a knock was heard. “Yeonjun hyung? it's me, taehyun!” shouted Taehyun, or also known as Yeonjun's only friend. “Oh..” He lazily got up, groaning to himself as he walked to the door. "coming!" Yeonjun opened the door, revealing the blonde haired boy. “What's up?” The older tilted his head, he was confused because his friend looked troubled, and the atmosphere isn't making it better.

“I- Uh..” The younger stuttered. “can I come in first—” “yeah yeah of course.” Yeonjun walked sideways, letting Taehyun in. After they sat comfortably, Taehyun sighed. “You know how we're going to go on a school trip right?” He calms down, glancing at the curious boy.

“Yeah?” He continued, “So... we're not partners for the trip. You're going with someone else.” Yeonjun's eyes widened, his heart raced faster. Did he hear that right? Him, going to have to talk to other people? well, it's not a problem but... He has social anxiety.

"I know what you're thinking, jun. I tried to communicate with the teacher, but she said no.” The younger watched Yeonjun with worried eyes. “You can do it. You've ever done this before, right—”

“Yes! b-but that was when I was still okay with it! n-now I...” The truth is, Yeonjun never really told Taehyun about his problems. He just didn't want his best friend to listen to his stupid vent. “I know it's hard. But you'll have to accept it.” There's nothing they could do anyways. “Fine.” Yeonjun accepted it, looking outside from the windows. Oh how he wished he could be a little kid again, no problems... just, playing, having fun.

“You okay?” Taehyun was always there for him, when he's at his lowest, when he needs someone... He's the definition of 'perfect'. Meanwhile Yeonjun? The opposite. “Y-yeah. Anyways you got a boyfriend?” Asked Yeonjun, turning back to see the blonde. Taehyun likes boys, but only Yeonjun and his other friends knew. He prefers to keep it a secret. At the mention of 'Boyfriend', Taehyun's cheeks became red.

“W-what!? n-no I don't!” Yeonjun laughed at the flustered boy. "Just admit it, you like beomgyu, no?” Yeonjun teased him even further, nudging his shoulder. Taehyun was taken aback by his bold words. “Where did you learn to  be bold?” The blonde definitely did not want to answer the older's question. “Changing the subject, Tyun?” Whispered Yeonjun. It's all sunshine and rainbows... Just jokes, right?

The sun was setting, leaving a hue of orange and pink in the sky. The wind breeze, hitting Yeonjun's face every minute. Yeonjun was walking on the streets. He needed some air, atleast to enjoy. He had his headphones plugged, and he's focused on hearing the music. Jazz, his favorite. He's not so hopeless after all, huh? He's really struggling with money. His parents were.. gone, and he had to find a part time job to keep intact with his life. “Fuck..” Cursing under his breath, he crumbled the piece of paper on his hand. It was another day of getting declined from having a job. Why was life so against him?

Yeonjun unconsciously became more anxious, his mind raced about negative thinking and he couldn't shake it off. Another day, another fail for this hopeless man. He decided to walk back to his dorm. He wanted to rest after the stressful evening. He felt... pretty excluded. The people walking on the streets were laughing, talking, having fun with eachother. Meanwhile he was only standing still... lost in his thoughts. Just as he snapped back to reality, he realized that there was a honking sound coming from a car besides him. “eh?” Yeonjun turned to see the black sports car. Did he do something wrong? why was he getting honked at? “What?” He was sure it wasn't just his hallucination. That's when the driver rolled down his window.

Yeonjun couldn't believe his eyes. He was looking at the most stunning person he had ever encountered. How could someone be so wealthy and yet so breathtaking? It was a boy with smooth black curls, deep brown eyes, and a classic, elegant style that screamed old money. "What..."

Yeonjun was jolted back to reality when he heard the person laugh. With a deep voice and perfect facial features, it was a bit overwhelming. “I saw you at a café, and it seemed like you got turned down?” the person asked. “Y-yeah...” Yeonjun thought back to the unpleasant memories he wanted to forget. “Why?” he wondered, curious about who this guy was and how he knew. "You looked really down. Are you looking for a job?” the stranger pressed on. Yeonjun felt intrigued by him now. “Never trust strangers too quickly...” he reminded himself. “It's fine—” he started, but was interrupted by a cough. “I don’t take no for an answer. I’m Choi Soobin," the tall guy said as he stepped out of his car, towering over Yeonjun.

“I think we've met, no?” The boy checked Yeonjun out. “Where?” Curious, Yeonjun stepped closer to take a look of Soobin's accessories. Wow, Soobin has a lot of money! He seems really young, so why is he interested in helping Yeonjun? He narrowed his eyes, trying to figure out if this was a setup or just a prank. "finished checking me out?" Yeonjun jumped a little at the low tone. "I wasn't!" the older guy sighed. "So, what's your name?” Finally, some real talk. “My name is Yeonjun.” Soobin raised an eyebrow. “Full name?” , “Choi Yeonjun.” It's crazy how they have the same last name. “Mhm...” Soobin turned around.

“Wanna come with me?"
