accidental encore | taegyu

morning after (or technically afternoon)

beomgyu wakes up to the soft buzz of his phone vibrating under his pillow. his face is smushed against the sheets, hair sticking up in every direction, and his throat feels dry as hell. for a second, he thinks about ignoring it — until he squints at the screen and sees the absurd number of notifications.

🔔 21 new messages [ur mom's favorite band]

"what the hell..." beomgyu groans, rubbing his face. but when he goes to check it, he freezes.

the call is still going.

the little green bar at the top of his phone glows faintly. ongoing call: taehyun - 13 hours, 32 minutes.

beomgyu blinks. once. twice. and then his brain catches up.

"no way," he whispers to himself, rolling onto his back. he pulls the phone closer, holding it to his ear just to check if —

soft breathing. the kind that only happens when someone's deep asleep. and every few seconds, there's the faintest little snore.

beomgyu wheezes silently into his pillow.

taehyun, the lead singer of soobin's favorite band, the one who was supposed to be all mysterious and cool — snores like a tiny chainsaw.

he keeps the phone close for a bit, listening, not even sure why. there's something stupidly soft about it. beomgyu flips to the groupchat.

[4:45 a.m.] (like an hour after beomgyu slept)

taehyun:

yeonjun:

hueningkai:

beomgyu stares at the screen, evil smile forming. taehyun didn't respond after that. guessing he slept. this was too good. he cracks his knuckles dramatically and starts typing.

[1:54p.m.]

beomgyu:

yeonjun:

hueningkai:

beomgyu:

yeonjun:

hueningkai:

beomgyu:

yeonjun:

hueningkai:
i respect it tho

beomgyu snickers quietly, but then pauses. the soft breathing in his ear shifts a little — taehyun mumbling something in his sleep before settling again.

beomgyu feels weirdly warm. like, what the hell are they even doing? they've known each other for five days tops, they've never even seen each other irl, and somehow they fell asleep on call like they've done this a million times.
