"Beomgyu, are you in there? I came to visit, sorry if I didn't texted you" came the voice of a woman. His mom. Immediate panic.
Beomgyu shot up, eyes wide. "Oh my god. Oh my GOD—get out, she'll kill you—"
But it was too late. The door swung open, and there stood Mrs. Choi, blinking at the very obvious man in her son's bed.
There was a long silence.
Then she asked, "Who is this?"
Yeonjun sat up politely, still wrapped in the blanket like it was a fashion statement. "Good morning, ma'am. I'm Yeonjun. Beomgyu's boyfriend."
"Boyfriend?" she said, in that scary mom-tone.
Beomgyu wanted to die on the spot.
Then she squinted. "How old are you, young man?"
Yeonjun smiled brightly. "Twenty-eight."
TWENTY. EIGHT.
Beomgyu's soul left his body. He physically gasped. "YOU'RE WHAT?!"
Yeonjun blinked innocently. "Twenty-eight. Why?"
"You told me you were in your early twenties!"
"I said I was young at heart!"
Mrs. Choi raised an eyebrow. "Twenty-eight? And you're here... sleeping next to my teenage son?"
"I'm turning nineteen!! Not a baby!"
Yeonjun smirked "See? Legal."
Beomgyu slapped his arm. "NOT HELPING."
Yeonjun threw up his hands. "Okay, okay! But I didn't lie. I just... didn't say it."
Mrs. Choi set down the groceries, pinched the bridge of her nose, and sighed. "Beomgyu, I'm going to need a moment. And you—Yeonjun—stay right where I can see you."
She left the room, muttering something about age gaps and "Of course my son's boyfriend would look like that and lie about his age."
The door clicked shut.
Beomgyu slowly turned to Yeonjun. "Twenty-eight??"
Yeonjun smiled sheepishly. "Still cute though, right?"
Beomgyu grabbed his pillow and screamed into it.
Toto, as always, picked the perfect time to contribute:
"HE LIED. BIG MAN LIED."
Yeonjun panicked. He left, only to return minutes later with:
• A PowerPoint presentation titled: "Why I'm a Cool 28-Year-Old"
• A bag of chips
• An apology sticker
• And a single daisy from their first date spot
The presentation included:
• Photos of Yeonjun in crop tops ("Age is just a number but fashion is eternal.")
• A chart comparing himself to hot older K-drama leads
• A clip of Toto yelling "LIAR!" accidentally inserted
Beomgyu looked up at him after all that and sighed, half-annoyed, half-amused. "You're lucky you're cute."
Yeonjun immediately smiled. "Does that mean I'm forgiven?"
Toto: "NOPE."
"You'll have to win over the parrot too."
Yeonjun blinked. "...I brought him pumpkin seed"
Toto, reconsidering:
"...Maybe."
