Taehyun's eyebrows frowned, his mouth agape even wider without words coming out of it. Which made Beomgyu panic inside, he did think what he will say but why did it seems like it was an impulsive action?
"I mean..!" Beomgyu said with hesitation, waving his hand aggressively at him in denial of what he just voice out.
His shoulders slumped a little bit as it dropped, Taehyun didn't like the way he always take his words back. Even if he does the action too but it's more suffocating when it's Beomgyu the one doing it, the one who trolls and tricks him a lot.
Why was he even here with him?
"Whatever." Taehyun stood up from the bench before walking away like he doesn't care, he didn't even look back to see Beomgyu. Taehyun didn't really care.
Beomgyu crouched down to the ground and pulled his strands as if he'll pull it out of his scalp, frustration taking his body and pulling him towards the darkness; the void of nothing, the emptiness.
"What did I do..?" Beomgyu's eyes went glossy as the tears cover his orbs, shining brightly but not the way it used to.
Not the way it shines brightly whenever he is excited or happy, when he smiles widely and laugh loudly. It shone like it was losing hope.

Taehyun took a deep breath as his chest slowly rose up, trying to calm his anxious self and stop himself from tearing up; specially when he's outside with many students scattered all over the place he currently in, they will definitely mock him and laugh at him like he's a loser with no one by his side.
Maybe, he is a loser with no one by his side.
He's sensitive. Very sensitive one. Mostly today because he doesn't even want to deal with anything at the moment. Not even a single person trying to approach him or talk to him, he'll quickly cut him off. Maybe, he's overreacting and dramatic.
What happened to him? Is this the effect Beomgyu had for him?
It was not like this at all. He could control his anger and tuck it inside his body tightly for it not to escape outside and burst out while his tears drying up with the use of a strong fan; however, not anymore when Beomgyu had met him. Beomgyu changed him.
Taehyun's power uncontrollably went active and use it to the nearest wall, the spot he hit quickly crumbling into pieces as it falls to the floor. The school building was lucky because it didn't entirely fall and the impact wasn't that powerful. The red hair knew he had to control his emotions or else he'll be destroying every single human being in this place; and he'll be the only one left.
"Woah, easy there." Huening Kai warned once he saw Taehyun, suddenly appearing whenever the red hair is feeling like he's at the lowest and walked beside him as he touched his shoulder and rubbed it comfortingly.
"Kai." Taehyun's voice was filled with venom and his orbs slowly went white while it filled his orbs in a slow pace which made Huening Kai felt confused yet anxious, but even himself doesn't know the reason why.
The younger hummed for him to continue speaking, "I'm sorry." Taehyun's voice went soft realizing that he scared him off, his orbs turning to the normal color once again.
Huening Kai thought Taehyun with white orbs was terrifying yet pretty but that's not the time to think about that, he never saw Taehyun like this. How many just have he missed?
"Taehyun, your eyes went white." The younger pointed out worriedly, "What does it mean?" Huening Kai added in his statement.
Taehyun shook his head, grabbing Huening Kai's hand and pulling it towards a place where no one is inside. Once they found a place, Taehyun once again took a deep breath as his lungs filled with air.
"It means that I'm.."

Beomgyu pushed Yusung infront of him, she tried to explain and apologize but Beomgyu denied that made them have an intense argument.
He breathed quickly, almost panting crazily like he ran for hours. "Just.. don't talk to me." Beomgyu calmed himself down.. almost.
"No! You have to tell me why you're—"
"Angry?" Beomgyu took one step forward to Yusung, "Because you're ruining me and Taehyun, my friendship between him. And why are you apologizing to me? Isn't it suppose to be Taehyun?" The long brown hair bursted out, his index finger pointing towards her like he accused her and it was her fault.
"You're not even apologizing sincerely." Beomgyu exposed her which made Yusung's mouth open wide before walking out entirely.
Yusung screamed out of frustration, bawling loudly as she pulled some of her strands out. Sitting down the dirty floor with her legs and arms wiggling around aggressively.

"It means that I'm.. ——"
Huening Kai's mouth was agape, his eyes wide open as well with shock. He couldn't believe what Taehyun just said and he didn't know it all along, after all those years seems useless.
"What!?" Huening Kai shouted loudly, his voice echoing through the room as it repeats the noise several times.
Taehyun put his index finger on his own lips, telling Huening Kai to lower his voice or either to shut his mouth up.
"Don't scream or I'll stitch your mouth." Taehyun said, slapping Huening Kai's arm before the one who got slapped rubbed the hit spot to ease the pain.
The younger pursed his lips, "Are you sure you can tell me this?" He asked suspiciously, not that he is suspicious of Taehyun but the way he was the first person to know; also, who knows there will be side effects?
Just like what Huening Kai expected and guessed, Taehyun did felt a side effects.
Blood started dripping down Taehyun's nose, the red hair groaned realizing he got a nosebleed. Twice, today. He wasn't suppose to bleed more than once a day.
His hand lift up to pinch his nose to stop it from dripping down the floor or to his shirt, lifting his head up as it faced the ceiling.
"Can you give me tissues?" Taehyun said as he struggled to speak, his words kind of inaudible and muffled because his face is up.
Huening Kai rushed to give him tissues that was on the table, giving it to him as Taehyun grabbed it and stuff it inside his nostrils. He noticed that Huening Kai seems to be scared and anxious.
"It's not that bad.." Taehyun whispered mostly like to himself which Huening Kai did heard, his jaw dropped for the second time because of Taehyun.
Kicking Taehyun's feet, he scolded him despite him being older. "What do you mean it's not that bad!?" Huening Kai yelled, his voice again echoing.
"What if it's something serious and you're just avoiding it!!?" Huening Kai screamed louder like the person he is talking to is ten meters away from him.
Taehyun sighed, knowing he can't stop Huening Kai from worrying about him; that's the biggest mistake he did, and that mistake is Huening Kai knowing his condition.
"No! That's my usual.." Taehyun stopped, "nosebleeds." He continued as he finished the sentence, smiling unknowingly.
"Don't you dare smile!" Huening Kai flicked his forehead, causing Taehyun to wince and groan from the pain it gave.
"Side effects can get worse, didn't you know? The more you cause it.." Huening Kai began to lose breath when he continue to end his statement.
"The more your death is closer."
