⋆ ˚｡⋆୨ Bond of friendship ୧⋆ ˚｡⋆

"Yeah, I'll take that offer. E-mail Jiwon about it." Yeonjun replied firmly, making his decision.

"Are you sure you can handle being in the same room as those two?" Taehyun asked, still wanting to make sure that his bestfriend was okay with it.

"I keep work and personal life separate,  you know that Taehyun." Yeonjun replied, trying to mask his real emotions, but Taehyun knew Yeonjun was calculating his emotions. He knew it would be hard for Yeonjun to face Jiwon and work with her again, after cutting ties with her for so long.

"If you say so." Taehyun agreed with a sigh, deciding not to argue about it. Yeonjun was stubborn afterall.

"Yeah.." Yeonjun hummed, going back to work, which irked Taehyun a little. Something was up with Yeonjun today, and no, it was not his usual pissed off and grumpy behaviour because of Beomgyu or work, it was a different kind of discomfort. The type of discomfort he never wanted to see on Yeonjun's face again.

"Something is up with you, isn't it hyung?"  Taehyun asked, using the term "hyung" which he only used when talking to Yeonjun outside work or when it was about something deeper and personal.

"It's nothing Taehyun-ah." Yeonjun said with a sigh, his voice turning softer at Taehyun's concern, knowing he was caught. Taehyun knew him too well.

"Don't lie to me. Is it because of Jiwon?" Taehyun asked, suspecting it was because he saw his ex-finacé yesterday, which was valid. Taehyun knew what kind of heartbreak the older went through afterall.

"No Taehyun. It's Beomgyu." Yeonjun admitted, deciding it was useless to lie to Taehyun. He would figure him our either ways.

"Beomgyu? What happened with you two this time? He did some stupid thing as a daily task again this morning didn't he?" Taehyun asked with a chuckle, but stopped when he noticed the solemn look on the older's face.

"Did he not...?" He mumbled, confused from the other's silence.

"I-i I did s-something horrible to h-him Taehyun..." Yeonjun mumbled, his voice almost a whisper, which made Taehyun even more scared. Just what did this man do? He had never heard him this nervous and conflicted.

"You didn't kill Beomgyu and hide his body somewhere....did you?" He joked, wanting to lighten the mood.

"I'm not joking Taehyun. I messed up." Yeonjun replied with a glare. He didn't like being made fun of at serious moments.

Taehyun immediately shut his mouth, letting Yeonjun continue what he was saying.

"I...I had sex with Beomgyu last night." He admitted, the tips of his ears burning red from embarassment to admit it.

"Okay you had sex with Beomg...YOU HAD WHAT WITH WHO??" Taehyun yelled out loud, and Yeonjun immediately closed his mouth with his palm in a haste.

"Yeah, go ahead and announce it to everyone you fucking idiot! Lower your voice! And yes I did!" Yeonjun whisper-yelled, pulling Taehyun along his seat, making him sit down across the chair beside him.

"Oh my god seriously? Y'all finally resolved your feelings? Hah, I knew you were down bad for Beomgyu." Taehyun smirked, not realising quiet the opposite happened.

"Actually....no." Yeonjun admitted seepishly.

"What do you mean no?" Taehyun asked, raising his eyebrows in curiosity.

"I made it...worse." He murmured embarrassed, and Taehyun groaned, face-palming.

"Great. What did you do?" He asked irritated. He knew Yeonjun went through all that, but it didn't give him a reason to hurt Beomgyu, who was nothing but genuine and direct with his feelings.

Yes, it was pretty obvious. Taehyun had met Beomgyu a couple of times, and it was clear from his talking and behavior that Beomgyu really loved and cared for Yeonjun; heck, even Yeonjun's rants about Beomgyu showed that Beomgyu was trying his best to win Yeonjun's heart.

But he knew his bestfriend was too dumb and messed up to accept Beomgyu's love. He knew it first-hand how Yeonjun was afterall, being his bestfriend for seven and his secratary for five years.

He just wanted Yeonjun to be happy.

Ever since Yeonjun got betrayed by Jiwon, he had lost that spark in him, and became more distant and colder to everyone.

Yes, Taehyun himself wasn't a very communicative person or someone who showed emotions very well, but he didn't use toxic coping mechanisms like self-isolation and pushing people away.

He knew he liked Kai a lot, and the date yesterday night went very well too. He managed to see a cute drunk Huening Kai and got his number afterall. He was pretty direct with his intentions and showed his care with actions, rather than words.

But Yeonjun, he was a lost case. He just tried to shut himself off and push others away, until he realised he was alone once again.

Taehyun didn't like seeing Yeonjun miserable and sad like that. It pained him as his bestfriend.

"Beomgyu said I love you to me, and I lost it. I didn't know how to feel about that, so I left. I slept in the guest room and left before he woke up. I messed up. I don't know how to face him, or what to tell him. Hell, I don't even know what to feel myself." Yeonjun explained, pouring every feeling he was feeling right now to Taehyun.

He was suffocating from keeping it inside, and Taehyun being so caring and asking him about it made him feel weak and vulnerable. He couldn't shoulder all this guilt and shame alone, and the only person he could share his burden with, was Taehyun.

He looked up shamefully at the younger, only to find him staring back at him with a sympathetic and....fond look?

"Why are you looking at me like that? I know I acted dumb and all-"

Before he could continue, Taehyun leaned a little forward and half-hugged him, surprising Yeonjun.

Taehyun wasn't a very physically clingy person, and showed affection rarely, so at moments like this, Yeonjun made sure to cherish it. It felt great, he won't lie. He desperately needed some comfort and reassurance; Taehyun's hug fulfilled that need very well.

"It's okay Yeonjun hyung. I know I'm not the best at Emotions and feelings, but I know someone who is, and can help you in this."

"Who?"

"Huening-shii."
