“That’s so messed up…”

Beomgyu accelerated the pedal of the bike and let himself get lost by his thoughts. He couldn’t sleep after what happened. He just pushed Yeonjun away and walks out.

It’s four in the morning and he decided to take a ride around the park to have some peace of mind. But since he’s really lost right now he just noticed that someone is also running on the intersection. He quickly pulled the brakes and he managed to stop in front of… Yeonjun.

Yeonjun said and looks away, feeling a bit guilty.

“I’m sorry,” Beomgyu said and was about to go when Yeonjun hold on the handle bar of the bike. “W-why?”

“Let’s talk,” Yeonjun invited.

“A-ah, I need to go—”

“Let’s go,” Yeonjun insisted and started pulling the bike with him that made Beomgyu panic and get off.

Beomgyu sighs and just decided to walk with him towards the convenient store. He parked the bike and they went inside. “Oh captain! You’re a bit early today, you still have thirty minutes,” the part-timer welcome him.

“Woke up early than I expected,” Yeonjun chuckles and continued inside to pick some ramen and sausage. He got two.

Beomgyu just waits for him to prepare the food and when Yeonjun arrived they waited for the noodles to soften. “What do you want to say?” Beomgyu asks.

“I want to say sorry for doing it and I didn’t ask for permission, so I was really at fault,” Yeonjun apologized.

Beomgyu sighs and leans on the chair. “It’s already done. As if we can still undo it,” he just gives up. “Apology accepted.”

Yeonjun smiles. “Really!? Thank you! Now I can do it again—”

“Huh!?”

“I meant, I won’t do it again,” he laughs and opens the lid of the cup. “Were you mad?”

“I’m just upset, maybe,” Beomgyu replied unsurely.

“Why? Because I kissed you or because I did it without asking for permission?”

“Of course both!” Beomgyu frowns. “If you’re going to kiss then ask for permission,” he rolled his eyes and pick his chopsticks.

“Then can I kiss you again?”

Beomgyu pauses from moving and look at Yeonjun who’s seriously looking at him as well and the other’s eyes fall on Beomgyu’s lips that made him bit it because of anxiousness.

“S-stop looking at it,” Beomgyu replied and quickly stirs the noodles on the cup.

“How do you want to enjoy this summer, Beomgyu?”

“I don’t know… I just want to stay away from the crowd, noises of people and vehicles, and just appreciate nature for now. It’s summer, one of the best season,” he answered.

Yeonjun nods, “Let’s enjoy it together then.”

“What do you mean?” Beomgyu asks. “Are you going to leave too?”

“Hmm, maybe?” Yeonjun answers. “I’m going to Japan to train and be part of their national team,” he explained.

“Why not in here? Don’t we have a team?” Beomgyu curiously asks.

“Sadly, our country doesn’t really give that much support to this sport,” he replied. “Anyhow, I’ll still go in there.”

“Okay,” Beomgyu nods at him. “If that’s what you want.”

“How about you? Where are you going after this summer?” Yeonjun asks him back.

“I’m not really sure yet… Maybe out of country too,” he replied. “That’s why I’m here before I leave—ah by the way, where do you stay?” he asks.

“At room 401,” he replied. “If you’re feeling lonely, you can always knock at my door,” he jokes and winks.

“Gross,” Beomgyu reacts in disgust and rolled his eyes.

“What a temper you have there,” Yeonjun commented. “We’re going to have practice later, want to watch?” he invited.

“Ah!” Beomgyu sounded like he has a new idea. “While I’m here, I want to learn volleyball. Can you teach me?” he asks.

Yeonjun smiles from eye to eye and excessively nods at the other. “Of course I can! I can even give my whole time teaching you.”

“That’s a bit cheesy,” Beomgyu reacted and Yeonjun laughs. “Being a captain, you must be really good…”

“Baby, court isn’t the only place I’m good at…”

Beomgyu’s ears heated as well as his cheeks. Yeonjun’s deep and husky voice as if he intentionally changed it just to say those like and not to mention the ‘baby’ in there are making Beomgyu’s heart beats like crazy again.

“You’re so corny,” Beomgyu managed to shut him down despite of chaotic feelings. “I bet you already said those to hundreds of women.”

“Then you’re going to be the first guy,” Yeonjun shoots.

“What a redflag,” Beomgyu commented and started eating his food while Yeonjun’s laughing at him.

“What an honest reaction,” he laughs again and eats as well.

Beomgyu stares at him for a second then pulled it off and look outside. The sky is about to lit up. “I’m curious,” Beomgyu started still looking outside. “Why are you suddenly hitting on me?” he asks and meet Yeonjun’s eyes.

“Why not?”

“You don’t even know me—we’re totally strangers who just meet yesterday and you’re suddenly throwing weird lines on me,” Beomgyu answered.

“Isn’t it much better? To not to know each other that much?” Yeonjun asks. “Because in that way, we don’t hold too many information about each other. What we know is just what it is. Let’s be a total strangers with each other, I don’t care.”

Beomgyu didn’t answer right away. “Let’s do it.”

“The what?”

“Be strangers… Let’s not know anything about us. Let’s just be us in here,” Beomgyu implored. “Will it work?”

“I like it. I don’t care about what you are outside of this province. I’ll only care what you are in front of me.”

Bemgyu never thought his summer vacation will turn out like this. There’s something bothering him about Yeonjun of course. He doesn’t know him aside from his name and being a captain ball. He doesn’t even know how old is he but what is this feeling inside him?

It feels like he wanted to explore. He wanted to have some fun with this stranger. He wanted to have that little escape with him.

“I’ll do the same, Yeonjun,” Beomgyu agreed.

Yeonjun smiles, “I didn’t know we’re going to be in relationship that fast,” he chuckles.

Beomgyu frowns, “Excuse me, we aren’t in any relationship,” he corrected.

“Then what is this? Strangers with benefits?” he laughs.

“Hey!” Beomgyu snaps but Yeonjun’s still laughing. “It is what it is but we’re not boyfriends.”

“Beomgyu,” he called. “Wanna play with fire?”

“Not now…” Beomgyu answered. “I’m good at it, you might lose yourself during game,” he provoked the other and looks away, hiding his smirk.

Yeonjun chuckles at it. “You just made me hard,” he said. “I thought you’re a shy one though? Impression,” he said.

“Me?” Beomgyu pointed at himself and chuckles. “I’m louder than you think I am,” he said.

Yeonjun gestured him to lean closer and Yeonjun meet him to whisper on his ear. “Be loud as fuck as you moan my name, okay?” he said.

Beomgyu felt the heat inside his body rushing up to his whole system and gulps. But he doesn’t want to lose from the tension and so he also lean closer to Yeonjun’s ears and speaks.

“I only moan if it’s hard enough to wreck me, Yeonjun. Can you do it?”
