KISMET || TaeGyu

Eunseok and Ryujin were already by the stream when Taegyu arrived. Like them, they had also brought food. A large mat was spread out, just big enough for the four of them to sit on, where his two ecstatic friends were already seated.

"How old are you, Taehyun? What's your job? Can you support our Beomie on your own if you two end up together?" Ryujin asked bluntly, opening a kimchi container and gaze up to face the male.

"R-Ryu, come on...!" Beomgyu scolded his friend, glaring at her. He thought they were safe from Ryu's straightforwardness, but clearly not.

"Ryu's right, Beom. I'm sure your boyfriend won't take it the wrong way." Eunseok added, hands resting on the sand, leaning back.

Beomgyu just shook his head. His two friends were always so overprotective. He felt embarrassed for Taehyun.

"But-"

"It's alright, butterfly. I understand." Taehyun said to him with a smile. "I'm twenty-two years old, and I have a chain of hotels and resorts that I'm learning to manage, so don't worry about Beomgyu. I'll treat him like my queen once we get married. I'm just waiting for him to finish his studies!"

Ryujin and Eunseok mouth drop from his answers. That was a good attack.

"W-Wow, you're quite accomplished, Tae!" Ryujin murmured in awe, her eyes sparkling with gold.

"I hope that answers your questions."

Ryujin eagerly nodded, and the male beside her remained silent. "Yes, definitely. Damn, you really love Beomie, huh? It's like you don't want to let him go since you plan to marry him as soon as he graduates. Lucky red bear!"

"Sorry if we seem too overprotective of Beomgyu, Taehyun. It's just that we consider him like a brother." Eunseok smiled.

"That's fine. Like I said, I understand!" Taehyun smiled at Beomgyu and quickly kissed the back of the older's hand.

"By the way, Tae, do you know Mr. Kang Dongmin? You kind of look like him." Ryujin asked, full of curiosity.

"He's my older brother."

She spit out her juice onto Eunseok's pants.

"Ryu!!! you're such a slob!" he exclaimed, brushing off his wet pants. Ryujin quickly handed him a napkin while laughing.

"S-Sorry, I w-was just shocked." she replied to Eunseok before turning back to Taehyun. "Ehhhh~ no wonder you're so handsome. Your brother is Mr. Dongmin! But you have different kinds of good looks, Mr. Dongmin is more animalistic, while yours is more angelic. You and Beomie really suit each other."

"Thanks, and you're right, Beomgyu and I do suit each other."

Beomgyu shook his head, amused as he listened to their conversation. It felt like an interrogation, with Ryujin and Eunseok asking Taehyun all sorts of questions while they ate.

After their meal, the girl suggested they go for a swim. Since neither Beomgyu nor the younger male had brought a change of clothes, so they decided not swim. Instead, they watched Beomgyu's dear friends play in the stream.

Beomgyu leaned against a tree while the young man leaned against his body. He embraced Taehyun from behind, occasionally kissing his black silky hair.

"Do you know that this place is one of my favorite places in the whole world?" Taehyun asked, smiling gracefully at the scene.

Beomgyu looked at the younger in surprise and he turned to face him. "Why is that?" he confusedly asked, the male touched his chin.

"Don't you remember? This is where we first met." Taehyun pouted.
