"Taehyunie, I think someone's at the door."
Kai heard some footsteps and was now looking at the door. Both males were sitting on the couch, watching a movie. Taehyun's heart started beating out of his rib cage. He knew he had to face the older boy but he couldn't bring himself to look at him as he was fearful that he might let off him again. He knew that he was very unpredictable with Beomgyu.
"Kai. I- I don't know what to do?"
"Simple, pick a side Taehyunie. You either forget that he is your crush and have that fuckbuddy thingy as long as you want or tell him what you feel and cut ties with him."
Taehyun gave an account of everything that has happened between them to Kai. The younger boy was shocked but not surprised. He always knew that something with Beomgyu was not straight.
"But I-"
Taehyun was cut off when he heard knocks on the door.
"I'll get the door." Kai walked up to the door and opened it, revealing...
"Jay? What are you doing here?"
Kai got genuinely curious because before coming to Taehyun's, he told his boyfriend that Taehyun was not ok because Beomgyu troubled and left him alone so he's going to cheer him up. Now he wasn't expecting his boyfriend to show up like this.
"I have come to pick my boyfriend up."
Jay said in a fierce voice looking back and forth from Kai to Taehyun. This made Taehyun nervous as he thought that he might have triggered some sort of jealously in him. He didn't want to get into some lovers drama because he already had too many shits to handle.
"You thought so? HAHAHA."
Jay laughed like a hyena as he was looking at the boys.
"I have come to console my bestie with some beer!."
He announced as he lifted the bottles up that was in a brown paper carry bag
(a/n: say no to plastic.)
Kai opened his eyes and mouth wide looking at his boyfriend in disbelief. Taehyun pulled a confused Pikachu face.
"Because I'm certain that you would have bought him only ice cream like a baby you are."
Jay said confidently looking at Kai and wiggled his way into the house, spinning off Kai in the process.
Jay was always this goofy, cheerful, amusing person and he cared for everything that his boyfriend loved including his best friend. He bought beer as he was aware that the only solution to make someone open up, is by giving them some alcohol solution. Moreover, he wanted Taehyun to cheer up as well. And If you're wondering yes, Kai tells everything to him and Taehyun doesn't mind it.
"B-But I don't drink." Taehyun denied.
"Eh?. What you mean you don't drink? We are like 20."
"I never tried it so-"
"So- you're trying it today and gonna cheer up."
Kai was looking at the conversation between both the boys unfold in front of him and spoke,
"Wait, wait hold up. I'm still here"
He said bringing both his hand in the air. One hand, practically on Jay's face.
"You can't make him drink just like that Jay," Kai said folding his hands and pouted.
"Yes. Of course, not straight from the bottle. I need to get glasses."
Kai looked extremely cute to his boyfriend so he wanted to play with him a bit. Jay got up and walked straight into the kitchen like he owned the house.
"I- uhm nevermind." Kai got dumbfound.
"Taehyunie, you know Jay is always like this. If you don't want, you don't have to drink." He said in a polite voice.
"Yeah, I know. He is such a joyful person to be around." Taehyun glanced at the other boy who was curiously rummaging the kitchen shelves for glasses and smiled at his behaviour.
"I'll drink-" He said in a determined tone.
"Huh?" Kai was stunned, to say the least.
"I want to let everything out to him and can't think of anything better than this."

Beomgyu kept walking towards his house but was stopped in his tracks when his phone went off.
"H-Hello" He desperately needed someone to talk to.
"Yaa- You pit rat, How is Taehyunie? You didn't eat him, right?" Soobin yelled from the other side. However, none of what he said reached the blonde,'s ears other than the fact that his brother was now talking to him.
"Hyung- " He stammered in a broken voice.
"What? Why are you calling me 'hyung'? Who are you? What have you done to Beomgyu?"
Soobin got incredibly surprised. But Yeonjun scrunched his nose because he noticed the change of tone in the younger's voice. All this while, the phone was on a loudspeaker. Because both the boys shared a room.
"Hyung I'm out and I'm s-scared" Beomgyu trembled both in cold and his inner terrible feeling.
"Uh-" Soobin was at a loss of words. So Yeonjun spoke.
"Gyu? Are you alright?" He asked in pure concern.
"Hyung. I want to know something." He sounded miserable.
"You can ask Gyu. What is it?"
Now, both Soobin and Yeonjun couldn't hold their anxiety because never have they ever seen the younger boy in this state.
"What is love, Hyung?"
Both the older males got dumbfound with his question. They both knew how many girls the younger boy has dated. So, they couldn't understand why the younger was asking such a question."
"Isn't love only lust? Please say yes Hyung."
They both become speechless and were looking at each other with their eyes bulged out.
"Aa- my head is hurting. Please Hyung."
He clutched his hair with one of his hands.
"You thought that was love?"
"Always remember what I said."
His head hurt like a bitch. To the older boys, the younger sounded hopeless and pathetic.
"What-
"What are you talking about, Gyu? First, get to the house. We'll talk about this later."
Yeonjun said as panic rose against his chest and Soobin was already on the verge of crying. They didn't know where the younger was and what the hell was happening to him. But their tension heightened in double when the younger boy cut off the call without uttering a word.
"OH MY GOD. What if he commits suicide or anything Hyung? I don't want anything to happen to him." Soobin started having a panic attack.
"Hyung, he could be a brat b-but he is precious."
He sniffed as he was now crying like a baby.
"I knew it, I knew it. He always keeps things to himself. I knew one day he would break. Hyung, do something."
Now, he was a crying mess. And this broke Yeonjun's heart into pieces.
"Binnie, don't cry. I'll call Taehyun, Kai and tell them to look for him. Our Gyu will be alright."
He tried calling Taehyun and Kai. But none of the two answered his phone. He even texted them but got no response. So, he called Jay.
"Hello, Jay. I need you to-" He got cut off when the younger basically started rapping his words.
"Hello, Jun Hyung? I know you'd be mad at me for this. I promise I only wanted Taehyun to open up and cheer up, b-but I never thought these idiots will drink up till they pass out."
"THEY WHAT?"

"What did he say?"
Hyunjin asked as soon as his boyfriend hung up the phone.
"He hesitated, but agreed."
Jeongin said. Hyunjin hummed. But spoke again when something popped up in his mind.
"Remember the other day, when you told me Beomgyu was not just homophobic and there were more things to it. You know how complicated it was for me to understand. How will we make Beomgyu comprehend it?"
Hyunjin was genuinely curious because he didn't know how things could go and what will they end up with.
"That is exactly why we want him."
"I don't understand. He seemingly hurt Beomgyu."
"Yes, baby. But you won't understand until we meet him tomorrow."
