Beomgyu has been staring at his laptop screen for what felt like ages. His eyes lock onto the text cursor that appears and disappears every millisecond. He feels his clammy palm as he still holds onto the mouse of his laptop. He's been clicking here and there, setting the font to Calibri size 11, but that's all he's done. No words to type. No thoughts, no ideas, just head empty.
Beomgyu leans back onto his chair and ruffles through his head in frustration, letting out a sigh. He opens a new tab and logs onto his 抖阴社区 account where his notifications immediately blow up with comments from readers and messages they left on Beomgyu's message board. He reads through them one by one;
'Author-nim, it's been a while since you've written a story...'
'When are you going to release a new story?? I miss your writing-'
'Didn't you promise us a new story??'
Beomgyu, without hesitating, instantly logs out from his account and shuts his laptop close, ignoring all the other messages and comments that are saying the same thing. He plops onto his bed beside the study table and grabs his smartphone from the nightstand and goes onto his last resolve; his friend, Hyunjin..
"
Kang Taehyun." Beomgyu mumbles out the boy's name. He's a year younger than him and ever since he's entered JinHit Academy, Beomgyu can't seem to take his eyes off him. He's handsome and well proportionate, which explains why he's a freelance model. Although he's slightly shorter than Beomgyu, he definitely has the looks that snatches your attention to him.
But that's the thing with Taehyun, he doesn't want to be noticed. That why they call him the 'Ice Prince' of JinHit Academy. He's put on an icy exterior, he won't talk to you unless needed and he's very picky with his peers, explains the clique he's in now. A very odd combination but I guess they've earned his trust. Beomgyu rarely sees them since they're both in different majors, but one of Taehyun's friend, Kai, is in the dance major with Beomgyu.
Wait?
So how did Beomgyu end up falling for Taehyun? It's like any of your typical Korean drama;
One day, Beomgyu was grabbing coffee at the Academy's cafeteria and on his way to class, he simply and accidentally dropped his wallet. Just when he was about to pick it up, he turned around to see another figure picking his wallet up from the ground and handing it to him. That figure is Kang Taehyun. Beomgyu remembered the short conversation vividly;
A few months ago...
"You dropped this." Taehyun hands the wallet to Beomgyu.
Beomgyu in awe, keeps his eyes lock on the younger in front of him. He has only heard and seen Taehyun from afar, but to see him up this close? Well damn, and that's when Beomgyu took in his features. Taehyun is really handsome up close, a legit pretty boy. Bright doe eyes, angled nose, prominent cheeks, rosy plump lips and the list just goes on. With those features, he won't even go unnoticed.
Taehyun waves a hand in front of Beomgyu.
"Hello??" Taehyun calls out.
"You're really pretty." Beomgyu blurts out and immediately clasps his hand over his mouth. Did he really just say that out loud??
Beomgyu expected Taehyun to shrug him off, after all, he is known as the 'Ice Prince' and what Beomgyu just said might creep him out considering it was their first encounter. But instead, Taehyun doesn't. Taehyun runs his fingers through his brown hair and his cheeks flushed in embarrassment.
"Thanks." Taehyun giggles, flashing a small smile that reveals his dimples before walking away. And that smile alone was enough to melt Beomgyu's heart.
Beomgyu has had a fair share amount of relationships with girls and never boys. But, ever since that day, Beomgyu can't get the image of Taehyun smiling out from his head and although it took a while, he finally realized that he was smitten by the younger. Whenever he saw him, his eyes immediately draw to him, unconsciously following him and it was so obvious, that his friends confronted him about it. Ever since then, Beomgyu declared himself a closeted gay and only his friends knew about it.
Present...
Beomgyu logs onto his twitter account after giving some thought about what Hyunjin said. Maybe it isn't a bad idea, all Beomgyu had to do is make sure he doesn't fuck up. He's bumped into Taehyun once, and Beomgyu's well liked in the academy, he's sure Taehyun has heard of him somehow.
It shouldn't be that hard, right?
Beomgyu taps on the button af the bottom right and starts typing;
