Resist (Not Gonna Run Away)- C. B
Synopsis: Beomgyu usually has a very cheerful and outstanding personality but not when he wants to kiss the girl he's in love with for the first time.
A/n: that's pure fluff, and Gyu being a cutie. I want to thank my mootie @nanahachi3 for giving me the idea for this one. Also, I used international age cause idk how Korean age works hehe 😅. Anyway, enjoy!
Beomgyu didn’t remember the last time he was that much in his feelings. He was sitting on the passenger seat of her car, looking at the window while she drove calmly through Incheon’s streets heading back to Seoul. It was dawn already, almost 2 a.m, the air was cold and he was wrapped around a blanket he found on the backseat, cause he gave his jacket to her. They had just left a bar, which explained him being extra sensitive to his own feelings, even though he just had 2 cups of beer. It could also be because he was very sleepy, his eyes blinked heavily. He looked at her, who only drank zero drinks: a zero alcohol Heineken and a zero Pepsi, which was way better than Coke, according to her, she drove so nonchalantly, comparing to Yeonjun who checked the mirrors all the time, “Where did you learn to drive so peacefully?”, she quickly switched her gaze from the road to the Korean guy sitting next to her, then to the road again, “Driving school” “You are way more chill than Yeonjun hyung when driving” “Well, I probably drive way more than him” “He never drives” “See? I drive everyday” “Since when?’’ “Since I was 18” “Wow! And I’m 23 and never drove”, she chuckled, he sounded so cute, all sleepy and slightly drunk. He watched as she continued to guide the car, she yawned, “Are you sleepy?” “Just a little. And you?” “I’m very sleepy”, his voice was even huskier than usual, such a torture to her. "Why don’t you sleep?” “Don’t want to leave you alone”, she smiled, “You’re the sweetest”, he opened his mouth to thank her, but instead , he yawned which made her do the same. As a response, they both felt the car slightly bouncing off the road. “Shit! You should stop the car and take some rest” “Do you think so?” “Yeah. If you yawned when I yawned, imagine if I had fallen asleep?” “You’re right, I will find a parking lot or something like that”. Beomgyu grabbed his phone and opened the map app, “There’s a gas station in 8 minutes” “Great!”.
She drove for 8 more minutes, as predicted by the app, and took the opportunity to fill the tank of the car while Gyu went to the convenience store to grab a few snacks for his empty stomach and his brain full of thoughts and alcohol.
She breathed in the cool air of the night, wondering what was wrong with Beomgyu, he was too quiet since they met in Seoul earlier that day. She knew he was too much in his mind lately, but she didn’t know what she could do to help, so she just tried to make things lighter when they were together.
But the truth was he was tired of people. He loved being where he was in life. His job, his members, his precious MOA’s, he loved all of them, but being around so many people just made him want to be alone when he was off work. An introvert, he couldn’t help. Till the day he met her, the person who made him not want to be alone anymore, the person with whom he wanted to spend all his time with. At first, she was just a friend to him, but it didn't take much longer for him to develop feelings for her, and her for him. Even from a long distance, they couldn’t hold their feelings back anymore. Gyu knew he wasn’t supposed to like her the way he did, cause he was an idol, but he couldn’t help when he was around her. They exchanged cute texts, they had long phone calls, they played games together, they went out to secret dates when he had free time, they made acts of service to each other but they never kissed or did anything more than just holding hands, and he was planning to change that tonight, except that he chickened out every time he had an opportunity to bring the subject up or even stole a brief peck on her lips. That’s why he was so into his head.
When she finished filling the tank of the car, she parked it in the parking space and joined Gyu in the GS25. He was looking at the ramen section, better stating, he was staring at a ramen package for 2 minutes straight, completely lost in the self-consciousness that was driving him crazy. She approached him, catching his attention and taking him from his trance state. “Do you like spicy ramen?”, he asked as nothing was happening, “Are you really going to eat ramen right now?” “Yes, what’s the problem?” “It’s 2 a.m” “So what?” “I don’t like it” “Ramen?” “Yeah” “What?!” “I don’t like it” “What’s wrong with you!?” “Stop!”, she poked his arm, he giggled, he loved to tease those he loved. “Alright. Are you hungry?” “I am” “What do you want to eat?” “I’m not sure”, she scanned his body from bottom to top, he had a slice of strawberry cake in hands, “I’m going to take a bite of your cake” “My cake?! No, you’re not!” “C’mon… Just a bite, Gyu”, she pouted, “Not going to happen!”, she laughed, he was starting to be loud again, she loved how he could go from a chill guy to a complete brat when he wanted to. She smiled, “Ok, then. I’ll get myself one” “Yes, go get one to yourself!”, he said with a serious expression on his face, even so, they both knew he was just being dramatic. She rolled her eyes and walked towards the sweets aisle.
After they picked what they wanted to eat, they met at the checkout, Gyu simply grabbed the cake and the green tea can she picked from her hands and paid for everything. They ate at the store mostly in silence, just complimenting the food and teasing each other for a bite once in a while, he finally could relax a bit during the whole day. When they finished, Beomgyu grabbed all their garbage and threw it away, “Shall we sleep now?” “Yes, let’s go”.
Back to the parking lot, she sat on the hood of her car and layed there, Gyu watched her, “What are you doing?” “Stargazing”, “Stargazing?” “Yes, look!”, she pointed to the sky and he followed her finger, to see an ocean of stars in the beautiful Incheon’s sky, “Wow!” “Come here, join me!”, she tapped the spot next to her, “Weren’t we going to sleep?” “We can do it later. C’mon!”, he stared at the black car’s hood and shrugged before joining her.
After a few minutes in a comfortable silence, just staring at the stars and enjoying each other’s presence, she looked at Beomgyu, who seemed to be a pile of nerves, “Hey…”, she called softly, “Hey…”, he said almost inaudible, without taking his eyes from the sky. She touched his hand with hers, which made him even more nervous, “Why are you so dismissive today?” “Do you think I’m dismissive?” “Well, you’re clearly in your head today”, he looked at her finally, “I’m just, nervous and disappointed” “With what?” “Myself” “What’s wrong?”, he looked at the sky again, he could feel his hands getting sweaty, does she feel it too? “I…”, he gulped, she focused on his Adam's apple, which bounced up and down as he swallowed, so attractive.
“I was… I was hoping I could…I mean we could…”, he paused, clearly bothered, she squeezed his hand lightly, encouraging him to continue, “Maybe, like… kiss… for the first time tonight. But I pussied out every opportunity I got”, she smiled, he was so cute. “Gyu” “Hum?” “Look at me”, he obeyed, “You didn’t pussy out this time” “Apparently no”, she stretched her arm to touch his face and rubbed his cheek with her thumb. She moved her gaze to Gyu’s lips, so pink, so perfect, so inviting, “I would…”, suddenly she felt a knot in her stomach, followed by a strange feeling of butterflies, and boom! she was nervous too, “...I would love to… kiss, you know?”, his eyes widened, “Do you mean it?” “Of course”, he stared at her lips before cupping her face and liking his lips to slowly lean into a very sweet and calm kiss, unlike their own bodies, which were stiff and in panic mode. Even so, they enjoyed the way their lips moved in perfect sync, melting into one another.
When they parted the kiss, their hands were still shaky and sweaty and their hearts still beating as fast as if they would have run a marathon. He couldn’t even stare at her because of his shyness. “Well, hum, that was good”, he said looking away, “Yes, it was” “Let’s sleep now?” “Yeah, let’s do it”, he was the first who jumped off the hood and got into the car.
While Gyu found his way to the passenger seat, she watched from the backseat him wrapping the blanket around his body and nestling himself on the seat, “Gyu” “Hum?”, he answered with his eyes already closed, “Why don't you join me?” “For what?” “Cuddling and sleeping”, he looked at the backseat, then closed his eyes again, “It doesn't have room enough for the both of us”, he lied, “What?! Of course it does!”, he took a few seconds to answer, “I think it is better not. Good night”, then he turned to the other side, his face completely red, he was too shy. She smiled with tenderness, he was the cutest, “Ok, then. Good night, Gyu”, she laid down on the backseat and tried to find a comfortable position. Beomgyu waited a few minutes before turning around and stare at her while she slept, then he leaned over and whispered, “Good night, my love. I hope you have dreams as sweet as you are”, she smiled before whispering back, “Thanks, Gyu. For you too”, he widened his eyes and felt his cheeks blushing, then he turned around again and shrunken himself on the passenger seat again. “Such a shy baby”, she thought, “My shy baby”.
