SOMEHOW - TAEGYU ??

twelve: start line

And it's also shocking to Taehyun that someone could have such an effect on him. After all, he's known to not show much feelings and he hasn't had the best experience in life. But, whoever this Wooyoung guy was, he made Taehyun feel his actual self, he treats Taehyun like everyone else and not like how everyone usual treats him specially because he's got a name in the modelling industry.

Wooyoung's different. And that different is what Taehyun needs whenever he needs someone to lean on.

"Taehyun?"

A voice calling out his name shaken the silent walk and Taehyun looks up to see a tall guy wearing a white baggy shirt which its front is tucked into his blue denim jeans. His black hair slicked back, only a few strands at the front as his forehead exposed.

"Look up where you're going." Beomgyu chuckles as he points to the smartphone that's on Taehyun's grasp.

"Oh? Hyung, what are you doing around here late night?" Taehyun asks.

"I should be asking you the same thing."

"Extra shifts at the parlour. You?"

"I was from the academy, practicing for the evaluations. And I decided to stop by the convenience store before walking to the bus stop."

"Are you taking the bus?" Taehyun asks.

Beomgyu nods. "You're going there too?"

Taehyun nods with a smile, revealing his dimples.

'Adorableeeeee.' Beomgyu squeals in his head.

"Then, let's walk there together." Beomgyu offers and Taehyun nods again.

The walk to the bus stop wasn't long. The two didn't talk when they were on their way there, and Beomgyu could clearly feel the awkward tension circulating them. His clouded thought immediately disappear the moment his ears capture sweet humming sounds.

He turns his head to hear it coming from Taehyun who's humming a song. His honey-like voice fills the cool breeze of the night, as they walk under the street lights along the pavement, on their way to the bus stop.

It literally feels like a scene out from those korean dramas.

He better write this down in his story as soon as he reaches the apartment.

"Your voice is beautiful." Beomgyu compliments the younger, breaking off the silence.

Taehyun looks at him, slightly shocked. He isn't sure if it's the cool breeze or him, but he feels his cheeks slowly heating up. "Geez. That was out of the blue." Taehyun giggles.

"It's not the first time I heard you sing. I've listened to your cover on 'Over and Over Again' and it's fantastic."

"Thanks. But I was humming just now."

Beomgyu chuckles. "Whether you're humming, singing, or even talking, I could listen to you all day."

Now this time, Taehyun's sure his cheeks are red and his heart starts picking up at a rapid speed. All Taehyun could muster up is a scoff as he tries hiding his shyness.

"There it is again. I'm impressed with your choice of words." Taehyun says.

"Charming, right?" Beomgyu raises an eyebrow and shoots a playful grin to the younger, earning a nudge to his side from Taehyun.

Just when they've about to reach the bus stop, the last bus arrives and they dash towards it, immediately getting on it and scanning their cards before finding their seats.

Oh, it's just the two of them.

Beomgyu sits by one of the windows while Taehyun still stands in the middle even after the bus has moved. Taehyun scratches the back of his head, his eyes looking shy and embarrassed, which Beomgyu notices.

"Hey, what's wrong? You're not sitting." Beomgyu asks.

"I... uh... it's just that I'm not used to riding the bus alone. I usually sit next to Kai or Jisung."

"Oh?" Beomgyu pats the seat beside him. "Then, sit with me." He offers.

"Are you sure?" Taehyun asks.

"Why wouldn't I?"

"I don't want to be a bother if you're the type to sit alone."

'Taehyun doesn't like sitting alone and needs to sit with anyone he knows. Geez, even his personality is cute and soft.' Beomgyu tells himself.

Beomgyu chuckles. 'What am I going to do with this cute information? This can definitely be in the story. Just got to change it up a bit.'

"You'll never be a bother to me, Taehyun. We're friends." Beomgyu pats the empty seat beside him again, reassuring the red hair boy that it's okay.

'We are, aren't we? Please don't give me snarky and save remarks, please don't reject me, Kang Taehyun.' Beomgyu asks himself.

Surprisingly, the ends of Taehyun's lips curve up and there's a sparkle in his eyes as he hears the question. He instantly nods.

"Yeah. We are."
