Between The Hidden World And Ours... - [YEONGYU FF]

Chapter 12

🎶: "Valentine's Dream" by Minnie

Beomgyu awoke the next day to a strange pattering noise outside.

He blinked his eyes open, propping himself on his elbow to squint out of the window.

Oh. It's raining.

To be fair, this was the first time he saw rain on this island, and he's been here for a while.

So you can't exactly blame him for forgetting precipitation is a thing.

"Well, better than a hurricane."

Moments later, Beomgyu trudged down the stairs into the living room to find Yeonjun in the kitchen, trying to get the microwave to listen to him.

"Ey metal crap, work already!" he scolded.

Beomgyu couldn't help but giggle quietly, catching Yeonjun's attention.

"Oh, morning Beomgyu."

"Hi."

The aforementioned latter sat down on the bar stools, rubbing his eyes.

"It's raining outside," he commented.

"I know."

Yeonjun pressed the on button, and the microwave started working, warming up some food.

"What food are you warming up?"

"The scrambled eggs I cooked an hour ago, but you were still sleeping so I didn't wanna wake you up," Yeonjun replied.

"Wait, you've been awake for an hour?"

"Mhm."

"Oh..."

Yeonjun just giggled and took the plate out of the microwave, handing it to him.

"Enjoy, my cooking skills aren't as good as yours though," he said before sitting down on the bar stool beside the latter.

Beomgyu took a provided fork and poked the food, before taking a bite and slowly chew on it to savor the taste.

This was the first time he ate something Yeonjun prepared, usually he was the one who prepares and takes care of all the meals.

"It's good," he said.

"Nice."

The two remained quiet as Beomgyu ate his breakfast, simply listening to the pattering rain outside.

"Looks like we can't head up to the mountains like we said last night," Yeonjun remarked.

"Yeah. Sorry."

Beomgyu got really sleepy after watching the northern lights, and Yeonjun didn't wanna push him, so they just headed back home to get some sleep for the night.

Now with the rain, they would have to literally take a rain check for exploring the cave paintings further.

"No worries, we can always go another day," Yeonjun smiled.

"Probably in about four days though. I don't think the rock will be dry until then."

"True."

The ravenette sighed, still feeling bad about last night, which didn't go unnoticed.

"Hey."

Yeonjun rubbed Beomgyu's shoulder comfortingly.

"Don't beat yourself up for being sleepy."

Hearing the reassurance and kindness in his voice, Beomgyu gave him a tiny smile.

"Okay."
