THIRTEEN

Beomgyu adjusted the hem of his gown as he walked down the stairs leading to the living room, "this is so embarrassing," he said quietly.

Yeonjun turned to the raven haired male who had just open the closet door.

A small smile slowly found it's way to his lips.

Beomgyu turned around with a vacuum cleaner in his hands, "stop staring, it's rude."

"But you look.....cute."

"Then maybe you should also put on a dress, so we can both look cute don't you think?" Beomgyu gave off a wierd smile.

He lazily walked over to Yeonjun, "can you please move upstairs I need to clean up."

Beomgyu could sense Yeonjun was not in anyway ready to move as the pink haired male only lifted his legs and dropped them on the couch, automatically laying down on it.

"Please don't make this more difficult than it already is,"

"I want to watch you clean," Yeonjun spoke, "there is nothing interesting going on today."

"Wat....watch me clean? Just how much of a perv are you," Beomgyu rose a brow, "I'm really not in the mood for this, so please, you said you have a guest coming over, why don't you go and get ready."

"She couldn't make it?"

"Ouch, you were supposed to have a date today?" Beomgyu rose a brow, "would the girl by any chance be Anika?"

Yeonjun nodded.

"Did she tell you why she couldn't make it?"

"No, but she told me we would video chat later."

"So off you go," he rose the vacuum cleaner again, " the sooner I get out of this dress the better."

Yeonjun smiled remembering that Beomgyu was in a maid dress.

He took out his phone and took a picture of the shorter male, if it weren't for the sound the phone made as Yeonjun took the picture Beomgyu would have never known Yeonjun took a photo of him.

"Yeah, yeah, post that."

Yeonjun got off from the couch staring at the picture of Beomgyu he had just taken.

"When I'm done with the sitting room, I'll call you."

Yeonjun hummed in response still looking at the picture of Beomgyu on his phone as he walked up the stairs to his room.

"Creep...perv," Beomgyu muttered under his breath as he proceeded to tidy up the sitting room.

__

Beomgyu cleaning session was going faster than he had originally plan, the place was actually cleaner than he imagined.

He guesses they were only few people living here apart from Yeonjun and Namjoon and all but the pink haired male were barely at home.

Namjoon most times stayed out late because of work, but not this time though.

He was out late today because Yeonjun told him he would be having someone over.

Beomgyu had been there for two hours and no one had left or entered the house since he arrived.

Beomgyu was currently attending to dinner, his aunt had stated on the list she had given him that he should prepare dinner.

Beomgyu wasn't a good cook like Huening Kai, he didn't know how to make most meal but he was a pro on the few dishes he knew how to make.

He prepared black bean noodles.

He had already packaged dinner for Yeonjun, he was contemplating on taking the food to Yeonjun's room or leaving it here for him to pick up since he was done with what he was supposed to do here.

Yeonjun had refused to let him clean his room, cooking was the last thing on his list and he was through with that.

"It would be rude if I just left like that," he said before taking the tray which consisted of a bowl of noodles, a pair of chopsticks, an apple, a jug of water and a glass cup.

He headed up to Yeonjun's room and halted at the door once he heard Yeonjun and Anika's voice.

'Must be on a call'

He slowly knocked on the door and as if on automatic, the door opened a bit.

'Technology'

That is...at least what Beomgyu thought.

The room was dark, but he could still see Yeonjun laying on his bed with his phone on his bed side table, the light from his phone was reflecting on him.

"What is it?" Yeonjun asked.

"Who is it, did you invite anyone?"

Beomgyu heard Anika ask.

"Dinner," Beomgyu said not moving from his spot.

"Is that Beomgyu, what is he doing at your house?"

Beomgyu could feel the anger radiating from her tone.

"Anika I have to go," Yeonjun streched to get his phone from his table.

"Wait..no..Yeon-"

Yeonjun cut the call and signalled for Beomgyu to come in.

"I'd rather not," Beomgyu spoke still standing by the door.

Yeonjun's phone rang again and he switched it off entirely seeing it was Anika who was calling him.

He got off from his bed and walked to his door and leaned on the frame.

"Dinner," Beomgyu streched the tray for him to take.

"I didn't ask for dinner though," Yeonjun rose a brow.

"It's nice, I'm not terrible at cooking you know, try it," Beomgyu said persuading Yeonjun to eat.

It wasn't because Yeonjun didn't want to eat Beomgyu's food, he kind of had a change in food.

Since he got reincarnated as a demon, he feeds on only souls and life essence of his prey before he kills them, he couldn't remember the last time he ate normal food.

"I'm not hungry."

"You haven't eaten since today, you didn't eat during lunch, I've been here ever since I ended my lectures and you still haven't, you didn't even touch the snacks I kept," Beomgyu lowered the tray so it wouldn't fall from his hands, "and Soobin told him you didn't have breakfast this morning, he said you told him you were on a diet when he offered you one of Huening Kai's homemade pie."

"It's good to go on diets, but you still need to eat, do you want to turn into a bag of bones?"

"Besides your dad told me to get you to eat," Beomgyu rose a brow, "so you have to eat."

In one of his and Soobin's conversations, Beomgyu had learnt that Yeonjun lives with just a single dad.

"My dad. Told you. To get me to eat," Yeonjun equally rose a brow, he knew Namjoon understood his eating habit, why would he all of a sudden want him to eat dinner.

Yeonjun didn't want to pry into the mind of Beomgyu, he wanted the raven haired male to come out clean on his own.

"Yes he did, he called me on the phone and told me to get you something to eat."

"What are you up to," Yeonjun stepped closer to Beomgyu, closing his door slowing.

If Beomgyu thought the noise the door made as he closed it was sickening, he was completely scared when it closed because at that moment the light on the corridor turned off.

Yeonjun could feel Beomgyu was up to the point of giving up his ghost so he left the lights downstairs on.

But it didn't stop the shorter male from panicking.

"Do you plan on poisoning me?"

"W-what no, I just want you to eat something," Beomgyu spoke, "you are supposed to eat to function well."

"So my dad asked you to get me to eat?" Yeonjun cornered Beomgyu placing his arm above his head.

Beomgyu opened his mouth to speak, bit no words would leave his mouth.

"Hmmmm?"

Yeonjun's aura showed a lot of dominance, Beomgyu couldn't help but become submissive towards his stone cold stare.

"I just want you to eat."

"Why?" Yeonjun inches his face closer to Beomgyu's, "why do you care all of a sudden, last time I checked we weren't technically on good terms."

"I'm not a monster Yeonjun-"

Yeonjun mentally cringed at his choice of word.

"Just because we don't like each other doesn't mean I have to be mean to you, I'm too nice of a person if you haven't noticed."

"Eat it, that way I would know it isn't poisoned."

Beomgyu physically rolls his eyes and opened the bowl of noodles, he picked up the chopsticks and took few strands of noodles and put it into his mouth.

"I didn't put anything deadly in it," Beomgyu said with his mouth full.

Yeonjun then remembered a show he watched yesterday where a mother had to feed her three year old son because he refused to eat on his own.

"Feed it to me."

"That's not on my to-do list," Beomgyu scrunched his brows.

"If you want your aunt to get paid, you'll do what I say," Yeonjun said making good use of Beomgyu's weakness right now.

He didn't want to let his aunt down.

"You want me to baby you?" Beomgyu couldn't help but smirk.

'Is this guy for real?'

Yeonjun nodded, he didn't want to embarrass himself while using a chopstick, he hadn't used one in a while.

"I better get paid extra for this," Beomgyu said once Yeonjun moved away from him.

"Don't turn on the light," Yeonjun said as Beomgyu lifted his hands to the switch.

"What are you Dracula?" Beomgyu sat on his bed together with Yeonjun.

Beomgyu stirred the noodles before lifting it to his mouth and blowing on it.

"Here," he placed it in front of Yeonjun's lips.

Yeonjun licked the noodles before taking it whole into his mouth.

"What is this?" Yeonjun asked loving the taste of the noodles.

"Black bean noodles," Beomgyu stirred the noodles again, "you like it?"

Yeonjun nodded with his cheeks filled up.

"Cute," Beomgyu couldn't help but say as he rubbed Yeonjun's cheeks.

Yeonjun as well didn't know when a smile appeared on his face, he isn't going to lie, he loved the feel of Beomgyu's hands on his face.

__

Beomgyu had now officially finished his job, he hoped he was successful with it.

He was more than glad to be out of the maid clothes, Yeonjun had showed him where he could take a shower.

He knocked on Yeonjun's door, his maid clothes in his hands.

"Yeonjun," the younger male called opening the door.

He could make out Yeonjun laying down on his bed, he wanted to ask him if he could take the maid outfit to wash it since he couldn't wash it here.

His boss had called him not to long ago.

He leaned closer to Yeonjun, and decided on not waking him up, he looked far gone in his sleep.

Beomgyu covered him with his blanket and nervously pecked him on the forehead, "goodnight," he whispered.

"Are you leaving?" Yeonjun snapped his eyes open after he felt Beomgyu's lips on his forehead.

"Yeah, work."

"I thought you didn't have work today?" Yeonjun slowly sat up.

"Yeah, my boss called so..."

"Why do you do what you do? I can tell you aren't happy with it," Yeonjun asked all of a sudden.

"I-"

"Don't lie, I hate it."

"I don't like it, but I have no other choice but to do it."

"Why, because of your aunt?" Yeonjun guessed.

Beomgyu nodded.

"You can't keep living your life just because of your aunt, take control of your life... basically everything you do is in favour of your aunt."

"I'm just doing what I have to do to make up for what I did, it's my fault she is out there struggling right now."

"What did you do?" Yeonjun diverted all his attention to Beomgyu, he softly tapped the space beside him signalling Beomgyu to come there and sit.

Beomgyu sat before speaking, "my aunt had a son who always provided the things needed in the house, money and all that, they had enough to keep them going, he was dating this girl.....I can't really remember her name, I didn't really know her."

"Well my aunt's son, Louis and his girlfriend got into an argument, because she found out he was cheating on her with me," Beomgyu turned to Yeonjun and said immediately, "I had no idea, he was in a relationship, he never told me."

"Your cousin?" Yeonjun rose a brow.

"No, I'm not really related with my aunt, she just wanted me to call her that."

Yeonjun nodded for him to go on.

"They had a fight in the living and it got physical, I went to get help from the neighborhood because Louis got hold of a knife....I didn't think the police were near by, but they were and took him away, giving him two years sentence."

"I felt guilty, because it was my fault Louis left and my aunt began to pay the consequences...I promised to fix her condition in anyway I could, because I felt deep down she was mad at what I did."

"You are in no way to be blamed for this," Yeonjun placed his hands on Beomgyu's thighs.

The younger jerked his leg up at Yeonjun's touch, he wasn't expecting that.

"Yeah, Taehyun and Soobin had tried to talk me out of the mentality that I'm at fault, but I just feel I'm at fault, I can't shake off the feeling....at least not until i get things back to the way it was for her."

"And how long is that going to take you?"

"As long as it takes I guess."

"So you are just gonna let yourself get wasted?"

Beomgyu smiled a bit, "at first when I was younger, I actually enjoyed it to be honest, but now....not so much, " he gave out an awkward smile, "it makes it hard for me to tell who actually likes me, in a way."

"Do they want me because of my personality or do they want me just for my body," he gave out a small smile.

Beomgyu diverted his attention to the door, "I better go," he stood, "it was nice nice spending time with you, I didn't expect it to go this smoothly..."

"I'll come with you," Yeonjun said also standing.

"To my work place?"

"Yeah, you've been tied up with chores since you left school, the least I can do is purchase you."

"Oh," Beomgyu blushed a little, "thanks."

Yeonjun smiled as he halted by the door, watching Beomgyu descend the stairs.

"Yeah I feel it to."

He whispered to himself slowly lifting his hands to his chest, where he felt a slight heart beat.
