Chapter Text
Choi Beomgyu was a simple man. He only wanted to find true love, have a good life and be happy until he dies of old age. He's life was already good, he had a loving brother, his family had a stable business, and they weren't that strict with him.
All together, he had a perfect life.
But of course, like any cliche story, he has to marry someone wealthy.
Kang Taehyun, a rich man, who's also really young and incredibly good at what he's doing. Not to talk about his good looks. He's also really clever, and good at talking. This is the man that Beomgyu's family wanted him to marry. And of course, because he's an obedient son, he agreed to it. At least he's not marrying an old guy. So Taehyun gets a score. And, he heard he's really kind, in his own way.
-
It was December, when he got a letter from the Kang Mansion, that he and he's brother was invited to stay the new year here and get to know each other better. He was excited, so of course he sprinted to his brother to tell him the news.
His brother, Choi Soobin, was a kind person. He was tall, handsome, and a bit of an introvert. But he was also such a kind soul, and he would do anything for his family.
Soobin was the first born, but he wasn't that fond of marriage, so his parents let him be. They understood him and said they will wait untill he's ready.
"Hyung look!" Hearing his brother, Soobin looked up from his book, and found a smiling Beomgyu. He returned his smile.
"What is it, Gyu?" "We got invited to the Kang Mansion! Isn't it cool? He wants to know us better!" Soobin just nodded and smiled at his excited brother.
-
3 days after they got the letter, they we're packed and ready to leave. Soobin and Beomgyu were already in the car that took them to the Mansion. Beomgyu was excited yet nervous, of course, he never met Taehyun before.
He looked out the window as they started moving from his house, he saw his parents waving and then getting in their own cars to go to work. They're busy people, and rarely had free time, although, they always tried to get every moment they get to spend it with their sons.
He watched as trees passed by, and everything became a blur after they sped up and hit the main road. 'A little nap won't hurt..' so he leaned his head on Soobin's shoulder, who was also looking outside, and closed his eyes.
-
He woke up to Soobin shaking his shoulders. Beomgyu opened his eyes and yawned. "We're here." Soobin said, while getting ready to get out of the car. The younger Choi just dazedly looked out the window, but his eyes immediately grow wider.
The palace was huge. A big mansion with a big garden, trees and bushes on the side of the road that led to the main entrance. There were benches and some statues. As he looked to the other side, he saw a fountain. 'Whoa...' His jaw was open as he stepped out the car.
"Hurry up Gyu, you don't want to make a bad first impression, right?" Soobin said with a smirk, while his brother just glared at him with red cheeks. He hurriedly walked next to his brother, and they both moved to the entrance.
Soobin knocked on the door, and some moments later it opened. A butler welcomed them and took their jacket's off. He led them to a living room, where a blonde headed person was sitting, while reading a book, oblivious of the people around him.
"Mr.Kang, you're guests are here." The blonde man looked up and put down the book. He stood up and walked over to them. "You can leave now, thank you." The butler bowed and left the room.
Soobin and Beomgyu awkwardly stood there, both looking at anything but the person in front of them.
"Welcome, I'm Kang Taehyun, the owner of this mansion. I'm glad you two made it here safely. I hope you two will enjoy you're stay here." He flashed them a smile.
"Yes, thank you. I'm Choi Soobin, and this is my brother, Beomgyu. It's a pleasure to meet you, Taehyun-ssi." Soobin flashed him a smile. "I will leave you two alone then, to have a little talk." He turned around and before walking out, he looked at his brother. "Have fun." He winked, and walked out.
Beomgyu glared at his brothers back, until he remembered someone else was with him. He turned around, and let out a soft gasp. Taehyun was way closer than before. His cheeks reddened a bit, and he tried to not look that nervous.
The man in front of him chuckled. "I won't eat you, you know..." Beomgyu's cheeks became even redder and he looked away embarrassed. "You're cute." 'okay that's it, i will dig my grave tonight!' He thought as Taehyun moved back, and sat on the sofa. "Come sit here." He patted the space besides him.
The brunette walked towards him and sat down, looking at his hand. "Hey, don't be that nervous. Look at me, please?" He asked so softly, Beomgyu couldn't do anything, so he looked up. "There we go." The blonde male smiled. He's face was handsome. No, it's beautiful, gorgeous even. His eyes were big and held comfort, his lips were pinkish and full, his skin was flawless. The blonde hair perfectly matching his skin and eyes. Simply, Kang Taehyun was God-like.
Beomgyu was in awe. "Y-you're really beautiful..." Taehyun quirked an eyebrow, and the corner of his mouth lifted to a smirk. "Why thank you, dear. You're beautiful as well." That's when he realized he said it out loud. Now his ears were pink too.
"Ah, um, thank you..." The brunette mumbled, while Taehyun smiled, and took his hand in his. He softly caressed Beomgyu's hand, then intertwined their fingers and brought it to his lips. "W-what are you doing?..." 'Stop stuttering you idiot!' He watched as Taehyun closed his eyes, and kissed his hand. A bit startled, Beomgyu just sat here with red cheeks and his heart almost jumping out of his chest.
With a chuckle, Taehyun put down their hands on his lap. "Now, let's talk for real. Let's see what you like to do, beautiful?" And that was the moment Beomgyu knew he won't survive with this man without being embarrassed every second.
-
It was 2 hours later, that Taehyun and Beomgyu stopped talking, deciding they can continue tomorrow, and they should sleep. They both stood up and the older showed Beomgyu his room.
"It really is nice to finally meet you, dear. Have a good night." The blonde kissed his hand again, and Beomgyu had a shy smile on his lips. "Thank you, you too." Taehyuns smiled, and walked away to his own room.
Beomgyu walked in his room, and looked around. The room had a creamy color, with some paintings hung up on the wall. The window was big and had a perfect view to the fountain. His bed was large, and the sheets were a darker color, but it matched the rooms atmosphere perfectly. There were a night stand besides the bed, and a wardrobe on the other side of the room. His luggage was beside the night stand. 'I'll unpack tomorrow...'
He made his way to the bed and found some clothes he could wear as sleeping clothes. 'He really did welcome us prepared huh...' The thought made him smile, and he quicky changed. He got under the covers, and with a sigh he closed his eyes and let sleep take over his mind.
