"hey gyuuu!"
hwanwoong called from the passenger seat, turning around to look at beomgyu. ravn smiled and turned down the radio, resting his arm on the window.
"wanna get ice cream?"
hwanwoong asked and beomgyu looked at him with a skeptical smile. hwanwoongs smile faltered for a split second.
"no, no, I want to. but it's cold?"
beomgyu laughed and hwanwoong looked playfully offended, slapping his hand over his heart.
"my heart is cold but im still here in the summer aren't I?"
hwanwoong asked and ravn laughed, reaching over to ruffle hwanwoongs hair. beomgyu smirked and giggled to himself.
"are you two dating?"
beomgyu asked and hwanwoong snapped his head towards beomgyu.
"n-no? why do you.. why do you ask?"
hwanwoong chuckled uneasily and he and ravn shared a look. beomgyu smiled widely and shrugged, looking out the window.
"no reason."
beomgyu smiled and looked towards ravn, who has reached his hand over and placed it near hwanwoongs thigh.

"can I have a.. cookie dough, a chocolate and a rocky road please."
ravn asked, hwanwoong and beomgyu behind him. he paid and turned back to the two boys, a smile on his face.
"you still remember my favorite ice cream?"
hwanwoong asked quietly, looking up at ravn. the said older smiled and nodded, ruffling hwanwoongs hair for the second time today.
they got their ice cream and found a spot to sit down, ravn and hwanwoong sitting next to each other.
beomgyu pulled out his phone quickly and checked his messages, expecting a message from taehyun, but there was none.
"are you okay?'
ravn asked, eying beomgyu, who nodded quickly. ravn and hwanwoong shared a look.
"no. my friend hasn't texted, and he wasn't at school."
beomgyu mumbled, keeping his eyes on his phone. hwanwoong frowned and looked at ravn, who's lips had turned into a smile.
"why don't we get his favorite ice cream and bring it to him? maybe he's sick."
ravn suggested and beomgyu was about to decline, but when he looked up, he saw how proud ravn looked of his idea.
beomgyu nodded and ravn smiled widely, standing up. hwanwoong grinned up at ravn, but looked away quickly when the older turned to look at him.
"what's his favorite? I'll pay."
ravn said and this time, beomgyu declined instantly. he shook his head and stood up, grabbing the small cup his ice cream was in.
"I'll pay, he's my friend, not yours." beomgyu reasoned and ravn frowned, but didn't press.
beomgyu went to the counter and tapped on it, gaining the attention of the person.
"hi, do you have .. like, to go ice cream? can I buy a tub of it?"
beomgyu asked and the boy at the front nodded happily, his lips curled into a happy smile.
"okay thank you, one of those in strawberry.. please."
beomgyu and the boy nodded, excusing himself to get the tub. beomgyu turned around to see hwanwoong, smiling at him.
"what?"
beomgyu asked, feeling insecure of everything on him. hwanwoong shook his head frantically.
"I just.. im glad you decided to come to our table."
he said and beomgyus lips stretched into a warm smile, which was mirrored by the two boys in front of him.
"and here you go, one tub of ice cream."
the boy called cheerfully and handed a bag to beomgyu. the said male flicked his eyes down to his name tag.
"thank you sunoo."
beomgyu bowed quickly and turned back to his two waiting friends.
"shall we go?"
beomgyu asked, feeling his mood lift slightly. the two nodded and they were off.

"is anyone home?"
hwanwoong whispered, slowly approaching the door. beomgyu shrugged and shifted the ice cream from his finger, to his wrist.
beomgyu inhaled deeply before knocking on the hard, wooden door. the knocks seemingly echoed, giving beomgyu chills that he didn't like.
the two stood in the cold, their breath billowing around them. hwanwoong shivered and ravn slowly crept up behind him, snaking his arms around the youngers waist.
hwanwoong jumped, but soon relaxed into the olders touch, feeling ravns body heat began to warm him.
beomgyu went to knock again, but the door opened just as he raised his fist. hope grew in his heart, but it was soon crushed when there stood taehyuns mother.
beomgyu, plastering the most fake smile onto his lips, bowed upon her appearance.
"hi! is taehyun home?"
beomgyu asked, his voice unusually high pitched. his mother slowly shook her head and her eyes flicked to the two other boys.
they finally traveled back to beomgyus, and when they met, the younger felt chills run down his spine.
"no. why?"
the two words that escaped her mouth gave beomgyu an emotion he couldn't detect. he felt the want to roll his eyes, but he forced it down.
"he was at school."
she said and beomgyu stared directly at her, practically glaring her down, but he didn't care.
beomgyu laughed airily, but there was no humor in his giggle. he scoffed slightly, nodding as he rolled his eyes.
"okay. well tell taehyun when he gets home that I brought him ice cream and tell him to text me back as soon as possible."
beomgyu spat, shoving the ice cream into her hands. she nodded and beomgyu felt fury, mixed with concern fill him.
"have a nice evening."
beomgyu seethed through gritted teeth, bowing harshly before turning on his heel, nodding at ravn and hwanwoong to follow.
they made it back into ravns car and beomgyu practically exploded.
"she's such a god d.mn liar! taehyun never misses school! he always texts me when he wakes up! something is going on and I don't like it."
beomgyu yelled, causing hwanwoong and ravn to frown sadly at each other. beomgyu felt tears form in his eyes.
"ugh just take me home."
beomgyu mumbled, sitting back in his seat, angrily glaring out the window. ravn nodded, but shamefully looked back to beomgyu.
"I don't know your address.."
ravn peeped quietly, not wanting to upset the boy further. beomgyu gave his address and continued to glare out the window, his mind racing.
"if he doesn't come to school tomorrow then we'll start looking okay?"
hwanwoong reassured softly, looking back at the frustrated boy. beomgyu nodded sharply, his eyes unmoving from the window.
beomgyu pulled out his phone and went to his contacts, clicking on taehyuns. he reread over the last messages, but they all were his own messages.
