Inaxus | Taegyu ??

16. Video message

"I could have lived without your help too, I have my AI glasses you know."

"That shit was useless when I caused that scar on your fucking chin."

"Whatever. Stop the squabbling now." Yoohyun said as he reloaded his gun. He left their hiding place, leaving Beomgyu behind.

Before the younger could even react, he heard a loud bang.

"Yoohyun, did you die?" Beomgyu called out.

"Ugh... Yeah" Yoohyun groaned and took off his vr headset.

"Man, you for real suck ass" Beomgyu remarked as he took off his headset as well.

"As long as I'm good in in real life wars, I'm fine" Yoohyun fixed his hair and drank his water from his white mug.

"Mhm" Beomgyu hummed as he drank his grape juice. Yes. Grape juice. Yoohyun was able to obtain it for Beomgyu. Well, generally speaking, only the Inaxus were just given horrible white meals.

Beomgyu gulped down his juice in one go and sighed in satisfaction. He was enjoying the special treatment he had received.

"Beomgyu, tell me about your life" Yoohyun said out of nowhere.

"Huh? Uh... I grew up in the Choi mansion? Met Taehyun when I was seven, moved out together with him for college. Studied law with him. Do missions at night. I mean... What do you want to know? Don't you have all my data?" Beomgyu asked, confused.

Yoohyun shrugged. "I do. What I meant was any interesting events in your life? Like hobbies or something."

"Okay...?" Beomgyu didn't know why he was asking such a question. Why was he trying to get to know him better? "Well, my hobby is to annoy the heck out of everyone I guess. Especially Yeonjun hyung, who's my cousin... And of course Taehyun. I don't know why I picked law... Maybe because Taehyun wanted to do law. I prefer art, music and literature. I can play the guitar. Taehyun would sing when I played it when we were young."

"So everything can be related to Taehyun."

Beomgyu nodded at that. "We were literally stuck together 24/7. We did everything together."

"Why do you love him the way you do now?"

Beomgyu thought for a while. Why did he love Taehyun? Wasn't it obvious?

"Tell me, do you have an ideal type?" Beomgyu turned to face Yoohyun.

"Well yeah, a man with a pretty face and someone shorter than me."

"That's where we differ. I don't have an ideal type. I don't love Taehyun just for his looks. He just happened to be handsome as hell. I love him because he's him. You might have heard this a lot but I love people because of their personalities. Even if his looks changed, I will still love him for who he is. I think love is something that can't be exactly explained. Even though I said I fell in love with his personality, it's not entirely that too. There's just an unexplainable attraction. Even though our first meeting wasn't a pleasant one, there was something special. I don't know really know how to describe it. I can't put them into words but he was glowing. Perhaps his aura? I'm not sure. Ahh... This is difficult. But I think soulmates exist. Because he is mine and I just know it." Beomgyu smiled as he spoke the last sentence. He thought about Taehyun and wondered if he had already seen the video message. He wished he could see him right now. At least once before he commenced on his plan.

Drip.

Beomgyu looked down at his empty white mug. A drop of blood had splattered on it.
