Beomgyu fishes out his smartphone from the depths of his jeans, and immediately calls Soobin to invite him over to his apartment. Beomgyu knows well that he over reacts a lot, so simply not knowing whether his crush was gay or not shouldn't actually be a problem, it's just the natural 'Drama Queen' phenomenon of Beomgyu taking over his senses.
He'll find out Taehyun's sexual preferences. Definitely. Whether he's straight or not, that's okay. Beomgyu's got the charm. He'll try to win his heart one way or another and snatch em best fan fiction of the year on 抖阴社区.
And Soobin is going to help him with that.
"Sheesh, what's taking him forever?" Beomgyu tells himself as he crash lands onto his couch and pulls out his phone to go onto twitter.
"CHOI FUCKING SOOBIN!" Beomgyu calls out for the purple hair boy as soon as he opens the door of his apartment to find Soobin leaning against the wall, staring at his phone.
"I don't have a middle name." Soobin says, turning his head to his best friend.
"Well, now you do. Get in here." Beomgyu gestures the latter to come in and he does.
Soobin sits on the couch as Beomgyu goes into the kitchen to take out two bottles of peach tea from the refrigerator. He hands a bottle to Soobin and the latter nods a 'thanks' to him.
"So-" before Beomgyu can even start speaking, Soobin cuts him off.
"If this is a plan about winning Taehyun's heart, I don't want in." Soobin says, flatly.
"Hyung~" Beomgyu links his hand around the latter's arm and looks up to him, flashing his puppy eyes. "Please??" Beomgyu coos.
"Wait, you actually called me here for that?? I was joking." Soobin looks at Beomgyu in disbelief.
"Then why else would I call you here for?"
"I-" Soobin pauses for a bit, letting out a sigh. "The more I hang out with you guys, the more I lose brain cells."
"I'll take that as a compliment. So, please??"
"What do you want me to do?" Soobin asks, chugging the bottle of peach tea down his throat.
Beomgyu, with a big smile on his face, pulls out the notes app on his phone and shows it to Soobin. "Steps to win your crush's heart, the K-Drama style!" Beomgyu exclaims.
Soobin slightly pushes the phone away from his sight. "K-Drama style? Really? Why not win his heart the real way? With the real you, other than depend on some stupid guidance that only works on actual K-Drama?" Soobin asks, sarcastically.
"Hyung, remember, I'm doing this for the sake of my fan fiction, this will be a part of the story line. The protagonist wins the love of his life through these steps that he creates. Besides, we don't know if Taehyun's gay or not. If I do win his heart, then that's just a bonus from all of this."
"Beomgyu, I get that, but-"
"Don't worry, hyung. I'm still the Beomgyu you all and everyone else know. I won't change myself for him, just a bit of acting. I'm still me. Now, pleaseeeee???" 🥺
Soobin lets out a deep sigh and scratches the back of his head. It's a thing about Soobin, he rarely pushes his friends away and will always help them no matter what the risks are.
"Fine, fill me in." Soobin says.
Beomgyu opens up his laptop and logs onto his 抖阴社区 account once again, and once again, his notifications blow up with the past comments and posts on his message board. He stretches his arms forward and back before settling himself onto the chair, making himself comfy. He traces the keyboard and let's out a sigh. He writes a message on his message board and hits 'Post'.

Hey guys! Sorry to leave y'all hanging and no, I didn't break the promise of writing a new story. Actually, I'm currently working on it! So I hope y'all be patient, I'll finish the story asap <3
Beomgyu clicks on the 'Create New Story' button and skips the first steps which are the title and cover of the story, he immediately starts writing part one of his story and to his surprise, he's feeling a bit confident about what to write. His fingers are working smoothly on the keyboard as the sound of the tip taps of his fingers against it passes through his ears. Ideas of scenarios and dialogues run through his mind and it feels good, knowing that your head feels slightly heavy because of all the sudden upcoming ideas rather than feeling empty.
It's been a while since Beomgyu felt the thrill of writing. He's had a few stories published, from fan fictions to original stories and he has supportive readers, despite them being noisy and demanding. It just shows that they really enjoy his stories and Beomgyu lives up to the bliss.
"And done!" Beomgyu clicks on the 'Save' button as he finishes his first chapter of his untitled story. He glances at the wall clock in his room and it shows it's night. Good thing he doesn't have any assignments, being a Dance major truly has its benefits.
Beomgyu freshens up in the bathroom before landing onto his bed. The second his head hits the fluffy pillows, he can feel all his energy draining out and slowly drifting to sleep.
A sudden thought interrupts Beomgyu in the process and Beomgyu can't help but smile at the thought. He's nervous and excited because tomorrow's the day he'll officially start his quest to winning his crush's heart and also his quest to writing a new story. It's bizarre, to think he's putting himself in this situation. He has never approached Taehyun before, all because of his shy ass and he didn't want to expose himself as a closeted gay who has a crush on him. And yet, here he is, finally going after his crush with a secret intention to write a fan fic.
He glances at the few small folded notes on his study table, all written with 'To Taehyun' on the outside.
"I wonder how you'll react?" Beomgyu asks himself, thinking of the many possibilities of Taehyun's reaction once these small notes are delivered to him in secret. He then recalls the only memory of him and Taehyun which was their encounter and how Taehyun smiled shyly and adorably at him.
"Will I see you smile like that again?"
Beomgyu switches off the small lamp on his nightstand and snuggle himself in his blanket as he drifts off to sleep.
