Chapter 78: Rain, Rain Go Away

                                    

                                          
Taehyun feels everything coming into a sudden halt, silence wafting the area, the only thing he hears is the fast beating of his heart.
"You're joking," Taehyun lets out a nervous chuckle. "You're—You are joking. . . right hyung?"
He had said to himself he had a chance with the older boy, but for Beomgyu to admit that he has feelings for him, not to mention to even confess first. Taehyun felt his heart wanting to leap out from his chest.
Taehyun should feel relieved, relaxed. But funnily enough, he was still shocked, and surprised. But honestly, who wouldn't? Even if you're confident about a person liking you back it's still labeled as an assumption, a delusion. And it's different when you hear it from the person you like that they feel the same way, it feels real and surreal at the same time.
Some don't even believe it despite the fact it was so obvious from the start.
Beomgyu shakes his head, "I'm not, I'm. . . I know this may seem like I'm kidding. But trust me Tyun, I'm not."
The older male held his hand tighter, eyes staring into Taehyun. His ears were burning red. "I really like you."
The younger male looks around, expecting to find either Hyuka or Moh-wa—or perhaps both of those two rascals hiding behind a tree or a bush filming them and say it was all a prank.
He waited, none of the two rascals appeared.
Taehyun looks at Beomgyu who had nothing but sincerity in his eyes.
Shit, he was serious.
"How—I. . . well I mean—Really? You like me as in me? Kang Taehyun?" Taehyun stammers, finding it quite shocking and surprising all the same.
He feels dizzy, his heart was beating too fast against his chest and he isn't handling it well.
Beomgyu tilts his head, "Yes, I like you as in you, Kang Taehyun. You're the only person I've liked this strongly before."
Fuck, Taehyun felt like fainting.
But somehow he manages to squeak out a rather million dollar question.
"Why?"
Beomgyu feels his body and mind floating, fingers becoming numb. And his heart was beating fast as if he ran an entire marathon without taking a breaks.
'Is this what confessing feels like?' Beomgyu thought to himself.
There was a mixture of anticipation, excitement, fear and a slight panic whirling around his heart. His stomach was twisting and turning as if he was either cold or he ate something bad. He feels his cheeks and his ears burning too.
Perhaps these were one of the many after-effects of the adrenaline after confessing.
"Why?" Taehyun asked, he looks at Beomgyu with an expression even he can't decipher. "Why do you like me hyung?"
'Who wouldn't like you? Who wouldn't fall for you?' Beomgyu thought, staring at Taehyun as he tries to place the right words of what he wants to say.
"Because you're Taehyun," Beomgyu utters, okay that wasn't what he was going for.
"What does that supposed to mean?" Taehyun chuckles, looking at Beomgyu with those beautiful galaxy-filled eyes.
Pardon the brunette for being a weak, weak man for Kang Taehyun.
"It means I like you for you," he began. "I like your presence, your smile, your voice, your eyes, your smile. How you at nag me from time to time, and how you get angry at me too for being reckless." Beomgyu says, flashing a smile at the last word.
