TWENTY TWO

"I'm so nervous Tae," Beomgyu tightened his grip on the blonde male's arm.

The two males approached the office of Kim Taehyung, the fashion icon had set up a meeting with Beomgyu today.

"Because you are going to meet your crush face to face for the second time," Taehyun spoke as he opened the glass door.

Beomgyu blushed a little a bit, "yeah, but he is not my crush though."

"Yeonjun?" Taehyun turned to smirk at Beomgyu after closing the door.

"What?" Beomgyu's face heated up at once.

"Don't lie to me Gyu, I can read you like a book sometimes....you are very obvious," Taehyun spoke as his smirk died down.

Beomgyu knew fully well that he had a crush on Yeonjun but he wasn't going to admit it to anyone anytime soon, expecially Taehyun, the male might have already planned a speech on why he shouldn't date the pink haired male.

He knew he was rushing into things with his feelings for Yeonjun, but he can't just help feeling right about his choice this time.

"I don't have a crush on Yeonjun," Beomgyu denied it again slightly pouting, but it soon turned into a smile, "but I do have somebody in mind though," Beomgyu playfully winked at Taehyun.

Having grabbed the message, the blonde male rolled his eyes and hit Beomgyu a little bit harshly across the arm.

Beomgyu rubbed the part of his arms which Taehyun hit blowing a kiss to the blonde male in the process, "I know you love me Tae, all you have to do is admit it and we can go and adopt two kids for ourselves."

"Shut up Gyu," Taehyun sighed rubbing his forehead.

"Even Yeonjun thinks so too."

"Excuse me?" Taehyun rose a brow at Beomgyu's statement.

"True, he thinks you are in love with me....." Beomgyu thought for a moment, "well that isn't exactly what he said but, that is what I thought he meant."

"I can't with you right now Gyu," Taehyun spoke as he approached the receptionist.

Beomgyu handed the receptionist the card Taehyung had given to him yesterday.

She examined it before gesturing him and Taehyun to a roll of seats, "He is not in currently."

"Oh," Beomgyu slowly pulled Taehyun to sit with him after noticing the blonde male was trying to give him the cold shoulder.

"You know I'mm only kidding Hyunnie," Beomgyu engulfed the said male in a hug.

"I know," Taehyun deadpanned, slightly pulling the male off him, "how are things with you and your aunt by the way?"

Beomgyu's expression saddened, "I don't want to talk about her right now," he said the episode of them yesterday replaying in his mind.

•°•°•°

"Aunty you need my help with something," Beomgyu announced as he entered his aunty's small apartment, she seamed better than the last time.

"I heard Louis had been released from prison, where you put him in."

Beomgyu ran his hands across his face, "I apologized for that, and told you it wasn't my fault, I had no idea the-"

His aunt Rose her hands to silence him, "it's okay, where is he, he hasn't come to visit me since he was released."

That was kind of true though, ever since Yeonjun brought Soobin back home, there had been no news whatsoever about Louis, maybe he was thrown back in jail.

So as Beomgyu thought.

"Beomgyu where is my son, are you planning to put him back in jail?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen him," Beomgyu put on a straight face while he lied, "I didn't even know he was let out of prison-"

"Oh, shut up, he called and said he was going to talk with you," his aunt turned to glare at him, "where is my son?"

"Aunt I really don't know."

His aunt heaved out a heavy sigh before placing a file at the end of the bed, "read it, it's for you."

Beomgyu reached down to grab the file from the bed, he slowly opened it and read the words on it, his brows slowly furrowing with every sentence he read.

He took the paper away from his face, "what the fuck is this?" Beomgyu almost yelled out to his aunt, "you sold me?"

She turned to him with no remorse on her face,

"The fuck why?" His eyes narrowed to hers, "isn't my selflessness to you enough, why would you sell me!"

Beomgyu stared harshly at the paper, tears pricking his eyes.

He only had a few months till he would finally leave that hell which he had tied himself to when he was younger.

Beomgyu tried to go closer to her but his foot hit something under the bed, he reached down and pulled the object from under the bed, "you drink?" Beomgyu pulled the crate of empty alcohol bottles from under her bed, "aunty this isn't good for you."

"When you leave..." She tossed some set of papers to him, "...my rent has expired, there are no food stuffs in the house and replace that," she gestured to the crate of empty bottles, "you don't want to tell me where my son is, that's fine by me."

"No way, do I look like a joke to you," Beomgyu kicked the crate back under the bed, "you aren't even appreciative of the work I do for you, do you think I'm stupid or something.....I'm trying to make your life as comfortable as I can for you and you are just throwing it away."

"You know what? I'm not doing any of this," Beomgyu flared up, "you can fix yourself up by yourself, I didn't sign this contract you did.....why would you anyways, you have no legal hold over me, I can decide to run away and you can't do anything."

"You are only putting yourself in trouble, once my contract is over, I'm leaving that hell to find another suitable work for myself," he backed up to the wall, "I can't believe all the shit I wasted on you, you said you didn't have the zeal to work after Louis was gone and I helped you out and you repay me with this?"

"Where did all the money go?"

"I bailed my son out of jail," she rose her eyes to his, " was I wrong to want my son back?"

"I..I can't believe this right now," Beomgyu stared at her bewildered, "I hope you have fun looking for Louis, cause I don't even think that idiot even gives two fucks about you," and with that he left.

•°•°•°

Taehyun gently rubbed Beomgyu's back, "it's all right Gyu."

"I still can't believe she would do something like that to me you know, I thought we had this mother-son bond going on."

"What did happen to Louis though, you haven't said anything about him."

"I don't know," Beomgyu lifted up his head from his hands, "Yeonjun and Soobin...I guess, were the last persons to see him, I didn't want to ask Yeonjun about him."

"He hasn't called or texted you?"

Beomgyu shook his head negatively.

"Hello mister," the receptionist called to Beomgyu.

Beomgyu lifted his head to see Taehyung by the door and his ears turned red at the smile Taehyung was giving to him.

"Wish me luck," Beomgyu whispered to Taehyun before standing.

"Good luck," Taehyun said quietly.
