I NEED TO PUSH YOU AWAY TO KEEP US HAPPY...

Beomgyu tried picking up the tent but it was too heavy, he saw Yeonjun drinking his coffee and walking up to him, Beomgyu rolled his eyes.

"Uh oh, must be hard"
"The privileged are not allowed to talk"
"What the hell is soobin doing? Why are you doing this alone?"
"Because apparently, the privileged ones get set up tents but-"
"I could've set up my own tent too, I'm not a brat like your boyfriend"
"He is not my boyfriend, yet"
"I really do not care, another thing, I was also an intern once, I got in by my own potential unlike your boyfriend"

Beomgyu threw the tent away and stomped towards Yeonjun to hold his collars,
"He is NOT my boyfriend!"
Yeonjun scoffed, "I thought you would be happy, hearing me call him your boyfriend when I have been so against him all the time?"
"Are you accepting him?"
"No, I'm just not going to bother"
Beomgyu held him closer and pouted.
"Why though? Care for me!"

Yeonjun sighed, "tell me you want me to help you with your tent"
Beomgyu pouted and left him.

"I won't do anything unless you tell me to"
Beomgyu controlled his tears.

"Help me then!"
Yeonjun nodded, brushing his thumb on Beomgyu's cheek before putting his coffee away and picking up Beomgyu's tent.

"Aren't you only doing this so you can have a good reputation? Omg the boss is helping the intern!"
"We were fighting just now, my reputation might have already been ruined. Omg, the boss was letting his anger out on a mere intern!", Yeonjun copied Beomgyu's tone.
"I was the one holding your collar though!"
"Stop thinking about my reputation, help me hold it, I am not doing this alone, princess"
Beomgyu nodded and picked the tent up and both boys set it up. It took them a good 30 minutes to do so.

"Finally.", Beomgyu said. Yeonjun looked at him and sighed out of relief.

Soobin walked just in time, "oh wow beomgyu, you- what are you doing here?"
"He helped me with it!"
"What!? Beomgyu, are you dumb? Why would you get help from him when you know I hate his guts-", Soobin yelled, walking close to Beomgyu.

Yeonjun pushed soobin away a little, "listen to me you brat, don't you dare yell at Beomgyu again, I wouldn't have to help if you did! You will be sleeping in here and not him alone! he was so excited to camp with you and you just ruined it all. You deserve nothing, really!", Yeonjun walked away after letting it all out.

Soobin looked at Beomgyu whose eyes longed into Yeonjun's direction, hands wanting to hold him.

Soobin looked down and held Beomgyu's hands, "I am sorry.."
Beomgyu took his hands away and shook his head, "it's alright soobin, I understood your frustration, you hiked up so fast to get a perfect spot"
Soobin suddenly held Beomgyu's waist, Beomgyu was startled.
"Um-"
"You were excited to camp with me?"
Beomgyu looked up to meet Soobin's eyes and nodded, "ofcourse I was", with a genuine smile on his face.

Soobin's hand travelled to reach Beomgyu's hips as he smiled. Beomgyu chuckled nervously and pulled away, "you should get in and see how it looks, I'll go use the washroom real quick!"
Beomgyu ran away and soobin went inside the tent.

The sun was setting already.

Beomgyu was walking around, trying to get rid of the tears in his eyes because he felt uncomfortable yet bad for pulling away from Soobin.

Beomgyu bumped into Yeonjun who was facing the other side. Yeonjun turned around and held Beomgyu's shoulders in surprise, "hey, what happened?"
Beomgyu shook his head. Yeonjun held his chin up, "are you crying? he made you cry?", Yeonjun was about to walk away in anger when Beomgyu held his arm and pulled him inside his tent. Yeonjun calmed down and looked at Beomgyu, his eyes asking him, what he needs.

Beomgyu walked towards Yeonjun and placed his head on Yeonjun's chest. Yeonjun looked down in confusion, "Beom-", he felt Beomgyu's arms around his waist. Yeonjun caressed Beomgyu's hair.

"Do you want to say what's wrong?"
"He touched me and I didn't like it"
Yeonjun didn't say anything and closed his eyes, not making it clear how he felt.

"Did he intentionally wrongly touch you?"
"No, I just didn't like it"
Yeonjun nodded, "did you make up with him?"
"I don't know anymore, I want to sleep"
"Go to your tent and sleep then"
Beomgyu pulled away and nodded, "I will but, are you alright?"
"I was about to turn into a cat not gonna lie, but you bumped into me at the right time"
Beomgyu smiled, "I really.."
"Hm?"
"Do you need more physical contact?"
"I think you being arou-"
"Don't change the key", beomgyu said as he hugged Yeonjun.

Yeonjun sighed, "I will try to find someone else because I can't let you suffer because of me"
"I don't suffer because of you, I like being around you"
"I suffer though.."

Beomgyu looked at Yeonjun with a pout as he pulled away.

"Beomgyu, I think I should just make this a job and start taking interviews, maybe there will be someone-"

"Someone besides Beomgyu, someone you already know can help you with it"
the priest said as he appeared.

Beomgyu ran out of the tent, so disappointed in himself.

He had finally had one true friend, and he couldn't even give him what he needed nicely?

...BUT I'M FALLIN' ALL IN YOU
