Choi Yeonjun is a well known, Seoul based scientist. Someone who is very deeply interested in the evolution of humans, and also wonders if there have been even more evolutions in recent years.
One day, he is sent on a science mission on an island f...
We're getting there, step by step. Baby steps, that's what I'd like to call them.
["What's his name?"]
"It's Beomgyu."
["Beomgyu, hmm... the name is pretty!"]
"I know right?"
He's pretty too.
["Well, if he ever bothers you again, just call me and I'll chew him out for you,"] Taehyun offered.
Yeonjun burst out laughing.
"He won't bother me!"
["Well, in case of something else, just call or text me and I'll be here for you, okay?"]
"Got it."
So typical of Taehyun to say that.
A phone buzzed from his side of the screen, and Taehyun picked it up, looking annoyed.
["It's my boss."]
"Oh," Yeonjun laughed.
["Do not."]
"Sorry. Better pick that up though."
Grumbling, Taehyun unplugged his earbuds, and answered the phone. Yeonjun simply sat there and waited patiently as Taehyun's lips moved in inaudible conversation.
He then laid his phone down, and looked back in Yeonjun's direction.
Except that he was, this time, visibly annoyed.
"My boss is sending me on a quick business trip in Japan."
"Oh."
Taehyun huffed.
["Yay. Traveling. Packing bags. Going through the noisy airport. What could go wrong?"]
"You'll be fine Hyun."
["Uh huh. Well then, duty calls for me to finish this up before I get ready."]
"Alright."
Cheerful as ever, Yeonjun waved at him.
"It was nice to see you again. I can't deny that I miss you."
["I miss you too Hyung; come back safely when you do."]
"Of course I will. Bye!"
["Buh-bye."]
Yeonjun then laid down on his bed, scrolling through some Webtoon updates that he had missed out on the past few days, and of course checking out what was new and trending.
Oooh, this one seems interesting, it's on Canvas.
Until Beomgyu came inside, knocking first of course.
"Had a nice call with your friends?" he asked.
"Mhm!"
Yeonjun nodded happily.
"Thanks for letting me use your WiFi; I truly appreciate it."
"You're welcome."
Beomgyu shuffled his feet against the floor, feeling a bit shy— something he still had to get used to, that the latter was quite shy, unlike his first impressionable cold exterior.
"Yeonjun."
"Yes?"
"Do... you wanna eat dinner together... on the porch?"

A/N: sorry that this chapter is so short lovelies 😅 but I'm happy to tell you that Chapters 8 and 9 were extended, so in case you haven't read Beomgyu's backstory yet, you definitely should feel free to do that 😋✨and do take that as apology for this short af chapter haha 🥲moreover, I have some personal life updates— your author is finally starting college tomorrow 🥳 now that I've gotten past this part of the story, updates will resume more frequently (we thank 14-year-old LK for writing a bunch of shiz that 18-year-old LK can edit right when she's busier), I promise 🫵
