Liar | Yeongyu

5. Late Night Shenanigans

"I really like spending time with you Yeonjun and I was wondering if...maybe you thought of our relationship being something more?"

Without a doubt he has. He's always found Yeji extremely attractive since the moment he had seen her. He knew out of every girl he had ever met that she was the one he'd want the most.

"I have." He put his elbows on the table leaning on them as he looked at her. "Without a doubt, I like you a lot Yeji." But he started to shake his head. "Things with my family would make us having a relationship a lot harder."

"Has something else happened?" She asked.

"That new friend I told you about. His name is Beomgyu and his parents own a company. My parents became aware of its quick success and they want a partnership in the company and–"

"They want you to use him to get to his parents." She finished.

He nodded.

"But I don't understand how that would affect us."

"He's...he doesn't like girls." He said slowly and Yeji started to understand.

"I see."

"My dad was pretty angry when I came back home from our last night out together. Anyways, I don't like guys and you know that and it's just business. After my parents sign the contract it will just be you and me." He reached across the table and held her hand. "I promise."

She smiled at him. "You don't feel bad using him?"

"I don't see it like that." He said with a shrug. "My parents are kinda forcing me to, I don't have much of a choice anyways. Besides, we're just friends and it will stay that way. It's not like I have to sleep with him or something, I just need him to trust me."

"Well, hopefully he trusts you soon because I want you all to myself."

"And you will have me." He kissed the back of her hand. "Also promise to not tell this to anyone. I don't want this somehow getting back to him."

"My lips are sealed."

They finished up with dinner and started to walk towards Yeonjun's car.

"So the parents don't like me already." She said with a small laugh. "Wanna come over to my place?"

Yeonjun nodded. "Yeah."

They crossed the street and Yeonjun looked up and saw Beomgyu who was walking into a nearby park down the street. He knew he hadn't seen him, it was late out.

"What's wrong?" Yeji asked as she stood next to his car door. "Aren't we leaving?"

"I just saw Beomgyu." He said.

"Oh, did he see us?" She asked a little worried.

"No no but it's late and he called me earlier." He sighed. "It's a long story but I should check on him."

She pouted a little. "But I thought you were coming over?"

"I am I am I promise." He held her hand. "I'm just gonna check on him and take him home. It'll probably only take thirty minutes besides, this is just speeding up the process for more us time." He pecked her lips and opened the door. "I'll take you home, just wait for me okay?"

"Okay." She smiled at him and got in the car. He drove her home and then went back to where the park was.

He walked in and saw Beomgyu sitting on the swings. The closer he got the more he could hear them, the sniffles.

"Hey you."

He jumped and turned but relaxed when he saw it was Yeonjun.

"What are you doing here?" He asked as he quickly wiped his face. "You're supposed to be busy."

"I was but I'm not anymore and I happened to see you so I came over." He sat on the swing next to him. "What's going on? Talk to me."

Beomgyu broke down in tears again and covered his face. "You're the only one who understands what it's like to have parents who just constantly shove shit down your throat!" He yelled as he stood up. "I'm always the ungrateful one and the selfish one whenever I speak up for myself and they constantly try and guilt trip me as if I ever asked to be fucking born in the first place!"

He started sobbing again and Yeonjun stood up and held his arms out. Beomgyu practically fell into his arms as he cried against his shoulder. He rubbed his back and let him cry without saying anything because he did know exactly how he felt and there wasn't anything he could say or do.

People like their parents aren't willing to change, you have to change for them and hope that the feelings you feel will eventually stop. Yeonjun suppressed this with cigarettes, alcohol, and sex but it was clear that Beomgyu hadn't found his sanctuary yet.

Once Beomgyu's cries died down he looked at him.

"I wanna show you something." He took him to his car and they drove to a bridge pulling off on the side a little. He put his hazard lights on and they got out walking over to the rails.

"Yanghwa bridge looks beautiful at night." He said as they looked at the water and the city.

"Its breathtaking."

"There's a song by Zion T, do you know him?"

"Yeah I think I've heard a few songs. He wrote a song about this bridge?"

"Yeah." He took his phone out and they listened to it together while standing on that bridge.

When the song ended, they sat in silence for a little bit before Yeonjun said.

"Let's be happy Beomgyu."

He looked at him and nodded. "Let's be happy."

Yeonjun wanted to drive him home but Beomgyu wanted to stay out a little longer on the bridge.

"It's not safe to be out by yourself."

"I'm alright I swear." He looked at the city. "No one is actually ever alone, especially in a city like Seoul."

"...promise you'll call me when you get home. Don't text me, call."

"I promise."

Yeonjun walked towards his car.

"Wait!"

Yeonjun turned seeing Beomgyu jog over and hug him. He smiled as he wrapped his arms around him.

"Thank you for tonight."

"Anytime cutie." He ruffled up his hair. "Don't forget to call."

"I won't!"

Yeonjun drove to Yeji's place and knocked. She answered the door in nothing but a robe.

"Took you long enough." She said as she opened her robe a little.

"Shit." He cursed as he walked inside and closed the door behind him.

After their activities, Yeonjun laid next to her as she was sleeping. His phone rang and he answered it.

"Home?" He asked.

"I'm home...good night Yeonjun."

"Good night Beomgyu."
