IT WAS ALL SUPPOSED TO WORK OUT...
"The bridesman looks so handsome!"
"Isn't he the groom's brother?"
The girls chattered as they walked out of the venue Beomgyu was entering.
Beomgyu rolled his eyes, "Everyone has their eyes on him, this is going to be so hard"
"On who?", a sudden voice asked that startled Beomgyu.
Beomgyu held his chest and sighed, "Why would you appear like this?"
"What do you mean? It's my wedding today, am I not supposed to appear?"
"That's not what I mean- shouldn't you be busy?"
"Busy with? See, I'm all dressed already!", Soobin said, flaunting his outfit.
Beomgyu smiled, "You look good", he said.
"You look so different today, too excited to be the groomsman?"
"Different?"
"Yes, you rarely have makeup on, it looks good on you, even if it's a little bit, and, the outfit too, good job beomgyu!"
Beomgyu chuckled. Beomgyu was wearing a white suit with an open back, covered with a net of flowered pattern.
"Soobin, I wanted to tell you something"
"Yeah?"
"Let's go to your waiting room"
Soobin nodded and led Beomgyu to the room.
"So?"
"So.."
Beomgyu sighed. Soobin chuckled, "Are you going to drop a bomb on me?"
"You probably already know about it"
"Say it"
"I have liked you. For a while."
After a few seconds, soobin stated, "The whole college knew about it".
"I know, I couldn't have made it more obvious. I admired you, for being you, I guess"
"Thank you Beomgyu, I don't think I, ever, could reciprocate your pure emotions, I'm not that kind of guy, I always have wild thoughts and that's it, but I appreciate it, you, liking me"
Beomgyu nodded with a smile, "finally, the burden's off my chest"
"Someone will treasure you, unlike me"
"Someone does, I guess"
Soobin scoffed, "It better not be who I think it is"
Beomgyu chuckled and the door opened.
It was Soobin's mom, Beomgyu greeted her. She smiled at him, "Is this, Beomgyu?"
Beomgyu nodded, a bit surprised.
Soobin's mother rushed to him and carefully held his hands, "you're so adorable!", Beomgyu smiled, "you're looking gorgeous, Mrs. Choi!"
Soobin chuckled and sat on one of the couches, "how do you know Beomgyu?", he asked his mother.
"How would I not know Beomgyu?", she replied as she made Beomgyu sit on the other couch, sitting beside him, not letting go of his hands.
The door opened again, it was, well, Yeonjun. He entered the room and removed his blazer, he still had his vest on. Soobin rolled his eyes, "who allowed you to enter the groom's area? aren't you from the bride's side?"
"Someone of my interest is on this side", Yeonjun said and looked at Beomgyu making the younger boy flustered.
Beomgyu couldn't stop looking at Yeonjun, he might drool the next moment, he thought. The white shirt below the vest Yeonjun was wearing was so tight for no reason. His muscles were exposed to well, above that, the fragrance that entered the room with Yeonjun was so enigmatic.
"Mom! didn't see you here!", Yeonjun joked, earning a hit from his mother.
"Oh beomgyu, I'm so sorry you had to deal with these two brats all together"
Beomgyu shook his head, "it was alright"
"Don't worry, I'll make sure they behave well from now on!"
Yeonjun sighed, "If you're done, can I take Beomgyu away for a little while?", he asked. Soobin shook his head, "Nope, he is the groomsman today, come tomorrow"
"It will take me one minute to convince Eui to not marry-"
"He is all yours!"
Yeonjun nodded and dragged Beomgyu out of the room.
"Wait! Let me take a breath!"
"Do that later!"
"Hello? Yeonjun!"
Yeonjun stopped walking once they reached a balcony, so nicely decorated in white.
Beomgyu took a breath and looked around.
"What is it?"
"You look so pretty today, like, you look pretty every day, but-"
"You brought me here just to tell me that ?"
Yeonjun nodded.
"I-"
"Can I kiss you?"
Beomgyu chuckled, "Come on!"
"Is that a yes?"
Beomgyu sighed and stepped forward, tiptoeing a bit as he held Yeonjun's face and kissed him. Beomgyu pulled away after the kiss, "You look very hot today, you better change though, everybody is talking about you"
"it's always been that way Beoms, everyone talks about me, you have probably looked down on me because all along, I was probably just a human-turned-cat for you-"
"hey, no. I never looked down on you, while you were in your cat form, you comforted me more than anyone ever could and when I got to know you in the work place, I swear Yeonjun, I had never seen anyone as hard working as you"
"so you never looked down upon me?"
"I did, once"
"when?"
"when I realised you've liked me but never told me, you loser"
"So.."
"So?"
"Can I be a winner now?"
"What?"
"Can I ask you something?"
"Yes"
"Marry me? Please?"
Beomgyu widened his eyes, "are you serious?"
"should I not be?"
"It's sudden.."
"Is it? I can wait. I'm sorry"
"No, I mean, ugh, I don't know, I really-"
"Sir Beomgyu?", Beomgyu was cut off by a waiter. He nodded, asking what was it.
"Mr Choi is looking for you", he said.
Beomgyu looked at Yeonjun who was confused, "why is he looking for beomgyu?"
"I have no idea, he was asking for you as well"
Both boys walked to the event area and Beomgyu widened his eyes when he saw the image, "dad?", he questioned.
Yeonjun was surprised as well.
"Oh, I heard you're friends with the groom? You are too quick beomgyu, I actually wanted you to befriend these boys!", his dad said, Yeonjun's father was standing beside him.
"I'm sorry, I'm so confused", Beomgyu said.
"Me and Mr choi are business partners, it's been a little while, and the other day he was talking about his younger son getting married, so, I was thinking of the day I could say my son is getting married as well", he chuckled.
Yeonjun held Beomgyu's hand from behind, Beomgyu's eyes widened.
"and this is my elder son by the way, yeonjun", yeonjun's dad said. Beomgyu's father smiled as he saw him.
"So good looking, it's the genes doing their job right"
"Nice to meet you, father", Yeonjun said.
Beomgyu widened his eyes yet again. Beomgyu's father looked at Beomgyu and then at Yeonjun's mother who was giggling.
"Oh, I'm sorry, is it too early? Actually, I already offered it to your son, he said he needed some time to think"
"That's not what I said!", Beomgyu yelled.
Beomgyu's father chuckled, "it's settled I guess, welcome to my small family, son", he shook Yeonjun's hand.
Beomgyu held his head in distress and held Yeonjun's hand, dragging him away, the closest place he could go to was the washroom. He banged the door close and sighed, "what are you doing?", Yeonjun asked.
"You're very annoying", Beomgyu said. Before Yeonjun could reply, Beomgyu held him by his collar and pulled him close, kissing him.
Yeonjun was startled but eventually found his hands resting on the boy's waist and caressing him gently.
Yeonjun pulled away, "a yes?"
"there's no other option, you idiot"
———————————
"Till when are you going to stay like this?", Beomgyu asked, pointing at Yeonjun who was laying on his lap.
"Till forever"
"Choi Yeonjun, do you want to get late for work?"
"The privilege of being the boss is I can get late, if it's because of something important"
"and snuggling on my lap is not so important"
"Hey, be a bit sensitive, I still have bit of a cat inside me"
Beomgyu chuckled and caressed Yeonjun's ear.
"Oh god, where did I even find you?"
"I found you. At your doorstep"
"I am glad you did, you're the best thing ever"
"Don't say that, I'll cry"
"I love you"
Yeonjun sat up and smiled, placing a kiss on Beomgyu's lips "I love you so much more, I always have"
"Do you want to get up now?"
"Let's sleep in today?"
Beomgyu scoffed, "Alright, for this once"
"You're the best"
..BECAUSE ITS THE END.
