“I’m doing fine, you know me…”

Beomgyu chuckles, holding his phone right on his ear as he talks to someone. He’s facing the window of Yeonjun’s room, standing. “Hmm? I’ll be back soon. You know my schedule. I’m always hectic… Oh come on, I have so much papers to get signed on,” he laughs. “Stop, you don’t want me to go home because of the reports. You miss me for sure, right?”

Beomgyu listens to someone’s answer over the phone. He slowly turns around to lean on the wall and Yeonjun’s sitting on the bed, listening. Beomgyu should be surprise because he thought Yeonjun’s already sleeping but he managed not to panic.

Beomgyu smiles as what he heard from over the phone. “I still have three weeks, I’ll book the flight right away. I still have things to do,” he said.

Yeonjun takes a stand and move closer to Beomgyu. Beomgyu took a step a bit backward but there’s already a wall behind him. “Ah I see,” Beomgyu replied and felt Yeonjun’s hand on his cheek, caressing it. “You should take a rest already. You’re doing overtime again, it’s not like the company won’t run without you.”

Beomgyu gasps when he felt Yeonjun’s lips on his neck. He tried his best not to hitch his breath. “I’ll call you later when I get home. See you soon… Yes, love. I’ll see you soon.”

Right after Beomgyu hang up the call, Yeonjun claim his lips. Beomgyu felt him grabs his waist aggressively than usual. Beomgyu wanted to take a break by gently pushing Yeonjun away but the older is stubborn so Beomgyu pushed him forcedly that made the other take few steps away.

There’s silence between them.

“I know you aren’t surprise anymore,” Beomgyu stated.

Yeonjun had a hunch already but confirming things right from Beomgyu made him feel irritated for some reason. He always knew but he doesn’t want to think about it because he want the fun to continue but why is he feeling annoyed at Beomgyu?

“Can I ask a favor, Beomgyu?” he asks.

“What is it?”

“Can you stop talking to him while you’re with me? I don’t care if you’re with him during spring, fall, or winter. But give this summer to me. To me alone. I hate sharing what’s mine,” he stated, sounded more of a threat than a favor.

Beomgyu laughs at it, finding it adorable despite of how serious the older is. “Okay then,” Beomgyu agreed. Open his phone and showed to Yeonjun how he blocked someone. “Are we good now? We should enjoy things, right?”

Yeonjun keep quiet despite of Beomgyu’s sudden actions. Beomgyu walk towards him and he felt him hugging. “I already decided to enjoy my summer with you before I leave, so no need to worry. Yeonjun, let’s continue having fun, shall we?”

Yeonjun hugs him back and kisses the top of his head. “I’m sorry about how I reacted. Let’s have fun as how we should be.”

Kairos is busy practicing for the summer tournament. Since they can’t fully practice at the gym because of the other team, Beomgyu being the major sponsor or the team, he rented another gym so that they could play without any disturbance.

“Someone’s going all out just to make this team won the tournament, huh?” Hueningkai speaks who’s beside Beomgyu.

“I dealt them to someone,” Beomgyu replied.

“Who?”

“You know him. I negotiated that if this team will reach nationals, he will sponsor them. Yeonjun’s driving force is so strong; I know he can be the nation’s MVP,” he proudly stated and turns to Hueningkai and smiles. “Please do your best to manage them!”

Hueningkai laughs, “You never really change,” he commented. “You’re still confident that everything will work out if you wanted,” he stated. “But… Taehyun knows you have a lover, what are you gonna do?”

“Yeonjun knows too,” Beomgyu casually replied and smiles. “And we just decided to be ignorant,” he added. “Guys! Water’s here!” he shouted when he noticed the team’s practice had a break.

“Such a carefree person,” Hueningkai shook his head in amusement and chuckles. “You won’t even know if he’s manipulating people or he’s just being himself.”

The week continued with the same scenarios, Yeonjun and the whole team preparing for the tournament, there’s strict diet and gym, Beomgyu’s also participating in their morning jog— but he’s using his bike to follow them. Hueningkai focuses on management and Coach Lance who supervise them overall.

It’s 10 in the evening, team is cooling down and others are cleaning the court and picking up the balls. Beomgyu with a towel on his hand, he lends it to Yeonjun who’s sitting on the floor.

“Aren’t you being too hard on yourself?” Beomgyu asks.

“I need to,” Yeonjun replied and grabs the towel. “We need to,” he added and stares at his teammates. “Thank you, Beomgyu for doing all of these,” he smiles to Beomgyu.

“This is the least that I can do,” Beomgyu replied and take a seat in front of Yeonjun. “I don’t invest on something I know I’m going to loss,” he added.

“We’re really going to nationals?” Yeonjun asks.

Beomgyu smiles, take back the towel from Yeonjun and he gently damps it on Yeonjun’s neck. “You’re going global, baby,” he stated. “Poland, America, Brazil, Japan,” he mentioned. “You’re going to win and have a podium,” he declared, smiling so sweet.

Yeonjun’s heart started to beat so fast, he can feel his cheeks getting flushed. It’s rare for him to hear such manifestation from the other. Actually, he doesn’t really care about motivations but why do Beomgyu’s words affects him so much?

It’s like a fuel that made the fire of passion inside of him ignite even more.

“How I wish you’re completely mine,” Yeonjun state, out of his thoughts.

Beomgyu smiles, “I’m sorry, Yeonjun. This is all I can give.”

And after other days, the summer tournament commenced.
