"..Oh, is that the person who's contacting you?"
"..."
That's right. I lied to Beomgyu about someone contacting me.
The sudden tension in the atmosphere made me dizzy. What should I do? I thought it would be better to tell the truth. I hesitated and was about to open my mouth when Beomgyu spoke before me.
"In a way, I'm the one who's in the way..."
I wish you would reconsider our relationship.
Heart pounding. My heart literally sank. Between us?
I wonder if we can date like we used to. Honestly, I was scared.
While I was debating whether to answer or not, Beomgyu spoke first while putting on his coat.
"You don't have to answer now. Just think about it slowly."
"..Okay, I got it. Should I go home?"
"No, I'll see you off."
"What else... Taehyun will be in front of you, so it'll be weird to see him like that."
"Kang Tae-hyun? Are you... meeting him?"
"...uh?"
No, it's not like I was contacting Taehyun out of personal interest or anything, but it was a situation that anyone could easily misunderstand. He's coming to pick me up from work? That's strange enough.
When I was too flustered to respond, Beomgyu opened the door himself and saw me off without saying a word. His eyes, which had become cold as they met Taehyun's at the door, quickly softened when they saw me.
"Take care on your way."
bang-
Could that be jealousy? If that's the case, it's seriously cute...
The thought of Beomgyu, snickering as he left the closed door, made me smile. Then, my eyes met with Taehyun's as he emerged from the car. His expression didn't look good. After a brief greeting, I got in, and Taehyun gently stepped on the accelerator as he drove off.
"I think I just saw Choi Beom-gyu."
"..I don't know"
"Really? Did I see something wrong?"
"Tae, Taehyun, aren't you dating?"
"Well... I've been in love with you for years."
I quickly changed the subject, but... unrequited love? At that, I looked back at Taehyun. As if it was a red light, our eyes met.
Kang Tae-hyun's unrequited love doesn't suit me. I chuckled, thinking back to my high school days, and turned my head away again. I thought he'd just go straight ahead and not have unrequited love, but this is surprising...
I arrived at the company quickly. I thanked Taehyun, and he smiled slightly and shook his head.
"Taehyun, starting tomorrow, I'll take the bus. I feel bad for always hitting you."
"..."
"We're going to be late. Let's hurry up and get up."
"Hey lady"
huh?
"I've liked you for a while now."
"..uh?"
"I thought you knew, what's with that stupid expression?"
I could have waited and waited for you to sort out Choi Beomgyu, because I was confident I could do better for you than he could.
Taehyun said, quite seriously. His mind was in a state of confusion.
At the same time, I felt sorry. The more I heard the confession, the more certain my feelings became... I loved Beomgyu so much that I couldn't bear to accept someone else's feelings.
..Sorry. Taehyun nodded as if he knew I'd say that when I gave him a short answer. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and as I was about to timidly enter the office, Taehyun looked back at me once more.
"That's right. Congratulations on your promotion."
****
"Are you back?"
"Choi Beom-gyu!"
"What's wrong? What's going on?"
As soon as I got home, I ran to Beomgyu and hugged him. Then I kissed him. Beomgyu, accustomed to his touch, picked me up and embraced me. After a while of tongue-licking, I was out of breath and opened my mouth first, and Beomgyu's eyes lit up as he watched me.
"Beomgyu, I like you so much."
"..Wow, that's the most exciting thing I've heard this year."
It's been a while since we last ate at home, held hands, watched a movie we hadn't seen in a while, brushed our teeth together, and wore the couple pajamas I had wanted to give Beomgyu for his birthday but never got around to. It was awkward to pretend to be a couple after all this time, but I couldn't have been happier.
Above all, Beomgyu looked so happy.
"Just try to say let's break up again... I'll kill you."
"Then shall we get married?"
"...what?"
"I want to marry you"
"If that's a proposal, then just leave it alone. What kind of proposal is this lame?"
"It's not a proposal... I'm thinking of marrying you."
A lover who talks while fidgeting with my hand. How could he be this adorable? I stared at Beomgyu and kissed his cheek. Beomgyu paused for a moment before hugging my waist and kissing me properly. Ha, this relieves my stress. I love it so much.
