accidental encore | taegyu

beomgyu woke up to the soft buzz of his phone on the nightstand, the screen lighting up with a familiar name. he rubbed his eyes, still half-asleep, and reached for his phone. the morning light peeked through his curtains, casting a warm glow over his room as he unlocked his phone to see taehyun's message.

tyun:
wake up sleepyhead

beomgyu yawned, stretching his arms over his head before typing back.

gyu:
i'm up. barely.

it didn't take long for taehyun to reply.

tyun:
good.
i've been thinking about u

beomgyu blinked at the message, his sleepiness fading almost instantly. before he could type a response, another text popped up.

taehyun:
n ur lips

beomgyu froze. his heart immediately started hammering in his chest, his fingers hovering over the keyboard as he tried to process what taehyun had just said.

he had no idea how to respond. they still hadn't put a complete label on whatever this was between them, but beomgyu found that he didn't really mind. the late-night calls, the teasing, the stolen moments—it was enough. but this? taehyun saying he had been thinking about him and his lips? that was new.

his brain short-circuited as he stared at the screen. five whole minutes passed, and he still hadn't typed a single word.

finally, after a deep breath, he swallowed down his nerves and typed out a reply.

gyu:
miss ya already

the second he sent it, he groaned, burying his face in his pillow. was that too much? too little? he wasn't used to being this flustered over taehyun, but here he was, kicking his feet like he was in a romance drama.

then, just as he was debating whether to turn his phone off to avoid any more heart palpitations, his doorbell rang.

he shot up immediately, confused.

another text popped up on his phone.

tyun:
miss me already?

beomgyu's eyes widened. he scrambled out of bed, nearly tripping over his own feet as he rushed to the door. when he opened it, there stood taehyun, leaning casually against the doorframe, arms crossed, and an annoyingly smug smile on his face.

"good morning," taehyun said smoothly.

beomgyu gawked at him. "you're insane."

taehyun only grinned wider. "you missed me, didn't you?"

beomgyu rolled his eyes, crossing his arms. "i literally saw you yesterday."

"and yet, you were the one who said you missed me first," taehyun pointed out.

beomgyu groaned, stepping aside to let him in. "shut up."

taehyun chuckled, stepping inside and toeing off his shoes. "you didn't deny it."

beomgyu sighed dramatically. "why are you even here?"

"i woke up and wanted to see you," taehyun said simply, plopping onto beomgyu's couch like he owned the place. "also, i was craving breakfast, and you owe me for surprising me at the airport."

beomgyu raised an eyebrow. "so you came all the way here just for breakfast?"

taehyun smirked. "and for you."
