The last leg of the tour was Seoul.
Their home.
Their beginning.
And maybe... their ending.
⸻
Backstage, it felt like any other show.
Managers shouting.
Stylists fixing collars.
Maknaes teasing each other.
But for Yeonjun and Beomgyu?
It was different.
⸻
Beomgyu sat alone in the dressing room, staring at his in-ear monitors.
Yeonjun walked in, holding a tiny note.
"You left this in my coat pocket last night."
Beomgyu didn't turn.
"Read it."
Yeonjun opened it.
If tonight's our last time on stage together... just know I'd choose you in every lifetime.
⸻
He didn't reply.
He just walked over.
Pulled Beomgyu up.
And hugged him. Hard.
⸻
On stage, the lights were blinding.
But the crowd louder.
Their last song: Safe Place.
This time, with full production.
Beomgyu played live.
Yeonjun sang like he was praying.
And during the bridge, Yeonjun reached out in front of thousands and held Beomgyu's hand.
The crowd exploded.
Not with shock.
But with love.
"STAY WITH US!"
"YEONGYU FOREVER!"
"THIS IS REAL!"
⸻
After the final bow, they stood backstage, breathless.
Soobin cried first.
Then Hueningkai.
Taehyun hugged them all in silence.
⸻
Later that night, Yeonjun and Beomgyu sat on the dorm balcony, watching Seoul glitter.
"So what now?" Beomgyu asked.
Yeonjun pulled his phone out.
A draft email to the label.
"I'm thinking... we take a step back. Not forever. Just for a while."
Beomgyu looked at him.
"As what? Lovers? Former idols? Just... two boys with guitars?"
Yeonjun smiled.
"As two people in love who still have songs to write. Just... maybe not under stage lights anymore."
Beomgyu took his hand.
"Then let's build our own stage."

Six months later, a new SoundCloud account appeared.
No profile pic. No bio.
Just a name:
"SafePlace Project."
And a song title:
"Track 01: Us, After Everything.
⸻
The End
