Chapter-30

                                    

                                          
"Remind me what we are doing here again?" Taehyun questioned Beomgyu who simply shrugged. 
                          
Around noon, the older had called Taehyun and asked him to show up dressed in front of the local mall in twenty minutes. Without asking any questions, he did as he was told only to see Beomgyu waving at him along with two other boys who he recognizes very well. Han Jisung and Lee Minho. 
                          
Apparently, Jisung was too shy to go on a date with Minho alone so he had asked Beomgyu, his one and only friend who was available considering that Jeongin and Felix were out themselves, and as a good buddy and senior, Beomgyu said yes to help out poor Jisung. 
                          
He had called the younger to tag along as well because he didn't want to be a third wheel and calling Taehyun looked as if it was a double date. Double hang out you could say. 
                          
Taehyun was confused because he was told that Jisung was too shy to even look Minho in the eye but right now, that boy had his arm draped around his shoulder, and in no way he looked shy or anxious and seeing the soon-to-be couple act lovey-dovey in front of him was pissing him off. Because a) he really wanted to hang out with Beomgyu alone rather than sit here and carry bags full of stuff he didn't even buy and b) the sight of the two boys being all clingy was making him sick. Okay, maybe he was a bit jealous because Taehyun had never experienced someone look at him like Minho looked at Jisung, or maybe because everyone in the food court was a couple because it's almost Christmas and he was still single and alone. 
                          
Currently, the four of them were sitting at a table, in a very crowded food court and drinking hot chocolate with churros. 
                          
"Hanie you look like a squirrel when you eat" Minho pinched Jisung's cheek, making the latter blush. 
                          
"Really? Why do you say so?" Jisung asked with red cheeks. 
                          
"Your puffy cheeks are cute as a squirrel with nuts in its mouth. You are adorable Hanie" 
                          
Jisung was a blushing mess and he hid his face in Minho's neck and that was when Taehyun lost it. 
                          
He stood up, startling Beomgyu who had definitely zoned out. "What's wrong?" He asked him. 
                          
"We are getting out of here or else I'll go insane" Taehyun breathed. 
                          
"What about the bags?" 
                          
"Just leave them here. We will come back quickly" 
                          
Beomgyu looked back at his friend who seemed very busy with his date and smiled before walking out behind Taehyun. He was happy for him because Jisung had been really excited since Minho had asked him out. Beomgyu doesn't understand how it all happened because Minho and Jisung are in different majors and different years so their meeting must have been unexpected and out of the blue, just like his and Taehyun's. 
                          
He quickened his pace to catch up with the younger who looked as if he was trying to get as far away from the eatery as possible. 
                          
"Wait up" Beomgyu jogged and grabbed Taehyun's arm to stop him. "Slow down Hyun" 
                          
Taehyun didn't say anything. Instead, he took Beomgyu's hand and started walking down the stairs. 
                          
They halted in front of a store that was decorated to look like Santa's workshop. Taehyun took a deep breath and smiled. "I needed some fresh air" 
                          
Beomgyu chuckled and nodded in understanding. He was watching Taehyun grimace every time there was skinship between the minsung couple. 
                          
The two boys strolled mindlessly, window shopping here and there. Taehyun asked Beomgyu to stand in front of a very flashy and sparkly showroom and took out his phone to click a picture. The older looked really good on his all-black attire and long hair and Taehyun couldn't help but capture his beauty. 
                          
"You look hot," he said before even thinking and that made Beomgyu blush because of his boldness. 
                          
Beomgyu was busy posing when a woman approached him and judging by her outfit, she was a saleswoman. 
                          
"Hello, young man. Would you like something from our store?" She smiled at the boy. 
                          
Beomgyu had no idea what they were selling and when he turned around to look at the displayed mannequins, his jaw dropped. In pink bold letters, VICTORIA'S SECRET was written and multiple lingeries and female wear were hanging. 
The boy gulped, face red, and shook his head indicating that he wasn't interested. 
                          
"How about a little gift for your boyfriend over there? We have many new arrivals-" 
                          
"No, we don't need anything" Beomgyu bowed at the lady and scurried off to Taehyun who was looking at him talking to some random woman with a quizzical expression. 
                          
"What did she want?" Taehyun asked but Beomgyu didn't reply and dragged him away from the store that had forced the latter to think not-so-innocent thoughts. 
                          
"What happened Beom?" Taehyun was confused because the older refused to speak and for some reason, his face and neck were extremely red. 
                          
Beomgyu on the other hand was having a mental crisis. For some reason, images of Taehyun wearing female undergarments were popping in his head and he had no idea how to stop them. 
                          
"Are you okay Beom?" The silver-haired boy touched his forehead, "You are burning up! What's wrong?" 
                          
Beomgyu gulped. The thought of Taehyun in pink lace lingerie lying on a bed was not helping. He removed the younger's hand from his forehead, trying to calm himself. He is your friend. Don't think dirty Gyu. He kept reminding himself but again and again, Taehyun's face kept popping in his mind. 
                          
Watching him pant and sweat, Taehyun was getting worried. "You are scaring me Beom" but his friend just shook his head and moved away from him. 
                          
"C-can we go back?" Beomgyu squeaked, trying to cover himself with his jacket. 
                          
Taehyun took his hand and walked out of the mall, not forgetting to text Jisung that they were leaving. He glanced at the older who now looked better but was still red. 
                          
"I'll take you home" 
                          
Beomgyu nodded, feeling the need to slap himself and to stop that boner from growing in his pants. It was so embarrassing that he got hard like this out of nowhere, that too because of lewd thoughts about the boy who was walking next to him.
