1 month later...
The chopper landed safely on the helipad, gradually decreasing the speed. After a few minutes when the pilot signaled the okay sign, Beomgyu took off his safety helmet and passed it on before getting off.
"Aaaaahhhh it's been awhile since I've breathed in Korea's air!!"
"Belle sir," His manager along with a guard came running. "You have a meeting in 5 minutes with the K Perfumes—"
"I know! He's waiting for me in the hotel room." Beomgyu cut him off, already leaving the terrace. "Let's go, I don't wanna run late."
The guard and the manager looked at each other cluelessly, seeing Beomgyu so hyped up. Normally Beomgyu wasn't the type to be excited about meetings with businessmen, instead he found all the industry talk boring and dozed off between the conversations, letting his manager handle everything.
So it was a bit unusual of him. Nonetheless, the group of guards and the manager followed behind him to the elevator and down to his VIP suite.
The moment Beomgyu entered, he strode towards the study of the suite and dang, his heart filled up with joy when he saw Taehyun sitting on the sofa along with his secretary, Ms. Park.
"Good evening, CEO Kang." He mused, catching their attention. The two stood up, Beomgyu internally chuckled seeing Taehyun all flustered when he offered a hand, while silently returning Ms. Park's bow.
"G–Good evening, Beo—" The younger gasped softly, then shook his head before taking with the older's hand, the contact staying longer than it's supposed to. "Belle. How have you been?"
Beomgyu hummed. "Got a serotonin boost just the moment I landed here."
A rush of pride coarser through his veins when Taehyun couldn't stop the smile from growing. They realized their interaction was appearing questionable to the others, so clearing his throat, Taehyun retreated his hands.
"Please take a seat." Beomgyu gestured them to be comfortably seated while obliging himself.
"Annyeonghaseyo, I'm secretary Park here to present the project we're planning to work on with you—"
"Yes, I know." Beomgyu gleefully cut her off. "I've received an email about your proposal on the collab. You guys are going to launch a limited edition line for this fall, and want me to hand paint all the designs for the packaging. Sounds fun!"
Ms. Park smiled awkwardly at the male, and then at her boss. Taehyun seemed to enjoy this, confusing her even more because Taehyun wasn't the type to tolerate someone cutting off their side when it's an important business deal.
"I'm very much interested to work with one of the best perfumers of the industry." Beomgyu threw a smirk on Taehyun's way. "So it's a yes from me."
Taehyun, startled at his answer, looked up at once. He was about to say something but Beomgyu's manager interrupted by stepping in.
"But sir, we have to go through all the samples to know if it fits your style. We also need to get our legal teams ready to verify everything documented before confirming."
Agreeing silently, Taehyun nodded his head. It was true that he and Beomgyu were...ahem ahem but right now, they were talking business. And Taehyun believed in professionalism.
"Geez!" Beomgyu rolled his eyes, sighing. "Manager-nim, I'm pretty sure we haven't flown with 10 bodyguards all the way from France to South Korea just for a meeting. My agency is actually considering this offer, right?"
Beomgyu's manager, embarrassed, nodded with a hesitant smile.
The raven-haired shrugged. "Then it's clear. Our team should discuss all the formalities with theirs, as I get easily bored during that part. Meanwhile, CEO Kang can stay behind to explain everything to me personally."
"Yes...WHAT!!!????" Taehyun almost screamed. He was never this out of control but then again no one ever was as bold as Beomgyu either.
"What?" Beomgyu repeated like a naive kid but Taehyun knew him better than that. "Mr. Kang is making the notes for the scented items by himself, and I have to understand the concept of each product before presenting a design. Isn't it normal for us to have an artist-to-artist conversation?"
(Artist-to-artist conversation o.O wow....)
"Yes sir, that will be appreciated." Ms. Park stood up to bow to both of the males before making her way towards the door.
"Okay then, we shall take our leave now." The manager also seemed to show no sign of refusal. Soon Taehyun was left wide-eyed, staring at the door that had closed a few minutes ago.
The moment he faced away from it, his lips were taken by another hungry pair. Taehyun shut his eyes in satisfaction as he had been away from this feeling for one damn month.
Beomgyu's arms were around his body, pulling him impossibly close. He slightly bent the younger's head backwards to kiss him with a swift gradation of intensity that made Taehyun cling to him as if he were the only solid thing in his dizzy world.
His insistent mouth parted apart the younger's shaky lips, sending wild tremors along his nerves while touching him hot. And before a swimming giddiness spun them round and round, Taehyun knew he was kissing the older back, equally fierce.
One month. They'd spent a whole month away from each other.
After that night full of deep conversations, they'd decided to go out like normal couples. It had taken Beomgyu a few days to stop Taehyun from apologizing for not acknowledging his feelings earlier, rather he was able to assure that it wasn't his fault at all and he still liked Taehyun just like before or perhaps even more.
Although in the beginning both of them deep down thought there was a chance they won't work out, considering they harbored different opinions. But that's why they actually clicked; they had different views on everything but instead of bickering, if they tried to get the other's point of view, they found themselves understanding each other even better. Ironically, they found out they were the same in one way or other.
And probably they'd get to spend more quality time together if only Beomgyu's schedule hadn't demanded him back in France. However, they maintained the connection through the digital means, always realizing and never forgetting to mention how badly they missed each other.
Hence, all of it led them to the way they are now.
"Beomgyu-ah," Taehyun called, as he stared up at their fingertips just needlessly grazing against each other's—threading and unthreading—repeatedly as if it's the most adorable thing to do, while being wrapped around each other's naked bodies under the duvet.
"Hm?"
"Don't you think you agreed to the collaboration too quickly? I mean, even if we're dating and stuff, you don't have to agree on all the professional stuff. My father thought we'd be acquaintances after the showcase, that's why he sent you the proposal. It wasn't necessary—mmph!"
Beomgyu cut him off with a quick kiss. "It wasn't necessary, true, but I do want to work with you. Besides I get to stay here for three months."
"Still..." Taehyun pouted, looking away, embarrassed.
Seeing the younger being mushy blushy cute, Beomgyu couldn't help but tease. "We can think of it as making our own babies~"
Pupils dilating, Taehyun flushed a bright pink. He was so embarrassed that he picked a cushion to hit the older with it, leaving Beomgyu in a giggling mess at the whole situation.
"Why?" He captured Taehyun's wrist and pinned them down. "You don't want to have babies with me?"
The younger stared at Beomgyu in awe; his charming eyes that always make his belly twist, his long raven strands that he likes to play with, his lush lips that take him to a state of ecstasy, his long fingers that move like an artist's inside him. It wouldn't be too bad, you know, to bear his child.
Biting his lips, Taehyun sucked in a breath. "What rubbish are you even talking about!?"
"Come on~" Beomgyu whined against his silky shoulder, then pressed a soft kiss. "I'd love to see a beautiful little girl who looks like you, running around and calling me appa."
Taehyun, now blushing profusely, took refuge by hiding in Beomgyu's chest, making the older smile at his adorableness. Beomgyu stroked his silver hair and kissed the top of his head. It was high time he stopped teasing the younger this way but the cute reactions were something he'd die for.
"I love you." Taehyun suddenly admitted.
Beomgyu was so surprised that he slightly pushed the younger away to look at his face to see if he was just kidding. But the way Taehyun looked at him with hooded eyes and parted lips, he knew there was no lie in it.
"I know y–you mightn't believe me. We've only started understanding each other but I know that I want this to continue, I want us to stay together, always. And I also know that eventually I'll tell you this, so the time doesn't matter for me. I love you, Beomgyu."
The older listened to each of his words carefully, his expression blank. But when he saw Taehyun biting his lips nervously, he chuckled. "Paboya! I love you too. Been loving you for a long time and will continue to do it forever."
"Then what's stopping you from kissing me?" Taehyun paused for a second. "Yeobo!"
"What!!?! Y–Yeobo...?" Beomgyu gasped, hearing the word from one and only Kang Taehyun did something to his insides, it was tickling.
"You called me this way first... that night... I really like it." The younger admitted, his skin glowing because of how much he was in love.
Beomgyu smiled delightfully. "Yeobo it is then." There was no chance Taehyun would like or want something and he wouldn't be able to fulfill it.
Taehyun giggled when he squished his cheeks before pulling him up above him. They smiled and made out with each other happily to their heart's content.
Now it was beyond a doubt that both Choi Beomgyu and Kang Taehyun had the best life which all of us could only dream of.
