The MatchMaker (YEONGYU FF)Words: 19491

At Soona's Apartment

"Hey, did you turn the oven on?" Kai asked Soona.

"Not yet, I thought Soobin did."

"Oh sorry, I got distracted by making the Sandwich's." Soobin apologized looking guilty.

"You and Soobin do the sandwich's me and Kai will make the cake." Yena pats our backs and stands next to Kai.

"I think those two like each other." I whispered to Soobin.

"Me too." He chucked as he took the knife and applied to mayonnaise.

SN:"What other food are we making later?"

SB: "We have to make Tteotbokki and Bibimbap."

SN:" Yena and Kai, you two should do the Tteotbokki as well; we will do the BiBimbap."

YN:" Sure thing!"

"What's that?" Soona asks, seeing Soobin open a container of something similar to mayonnaise.

"Blue cheese."

"No! No! Don't put that!" Soona takes the jar and throws it away.

"Why?!" He looks shocked by her sudden actions.

"Blue cheese is disgusting!" She makes a face and continued making the sandwhichs. Meanwhile, Soobin tried to regain his focus.

At Yeonjun's

"Do you want to watch a horror movie?" Yeonjun asks to point toward the screen.

"Horror? You like them too? Sure." Beomgyu says, sitting beside him on the couch.

"Let's watch this one." He clicks the button on the remote and the movie began to play.

At first it didn't seem scary until the jump scares started and Yeonjun was becoming scared.

"Ah!" He suddenly jolted up and backed down, making Beomgyu laugh.

"Yah, it's not that scary." Beomgyu says, laughing; his eyes focus back on the screen, and he suddenly becomes shocked by the figure on the net.

"I told you." Yeonjun teased.

"Whoever gets scared the most has to prank call Yena or Soona." Beomgyu challenges.

"Deal! but what's the prank?" Yeonjun asks.

"How about, we tell them that we are dating." Beomgyu suggested, and Yeonjun's eyes widened. He was taken back by the sudden words that left his mouth.

"D-Dating? I can't imagine their reaction." Yeonjun stuttered out.

"It's just the prank, anyways we should watch the movie." Beomgyu focused back toward the scenes.

Yeonjun was trying hard to focus but was too distracted by the words Beomgyu said earlier.

He felt conflicted, did he really want to do such a prank? He felt it would cause tensions besides; wouldn't it make things awkward?

Beomgyu suddenly jumped again in his spot, making Yeonjun snap out of his thoughts.

"You're going to lose." Yeonjun says, teasing him; he was trying to return to himself.

"I won't!" Beomgyu says with confidence.

"Hey don't put that there either." Soona takes the olives out of Soobin's hands.

"Why?" He says, watching her throw them away.

"Oliver's are not good.." She says, looking at him; he was pouting.

"Just one sandwich." He holds his index finger up with hopes.

"No." She says and returns working hard.

"Wow Soona, no shame." Yena clicked her tongue watching the two.

"I wonder what the others are doing." Yena asks out of the blue.

"Me too. Should I text them?" Soona asked.

"Let's text them after we finish our current tasks." Yena says she took the vanilla frosting and began to apply it to the cake with the help of Kai.

"You got scared eight times, but me; I was only scared six times." Beomgyu says.

"6 times is only a two-time difference, come on." Yeonjun pleaded.

"No, no! You have to call. Pick Soona or Yena."

"I'll pick...." Yeonjun says hesitating to who he should call but he took his phone out. He selected the person's contact, and it began to ring.

The phone of Soona began to ring, the familiar tone filling her ears. "Oh wait i'll answer it." She hurried over toward the table and picked up her phone.

"It's Yeonjun." She slides the answer button over and holds it to her ear, "Hello~" She sung.

"Hey, I-I have something to tell you." Yeonjun's voice shakily says into the phone, Soona could feel the nervousness.

"What is it?" She says serious, she could tell her was nervous.

"Me..uh how do I say this?.." He says trailing off.

"What is it? I'm in the middle of preparing foods." She says, shifting her weight to one foot.

"Me and Beomgyu, We are dating." His voice spoke; she couldn't believe what she just heard.

No sound came out of her mouth, it couldn't. The phone suddenly dropped out of her loose hand to the floor, making everyone look and rush over.

"Soona!?" Yena rushes over worriedly looking, Soobin picked the phone up and spoke into it.

"Sorry, Soona will have to call you back." He hangs it up, and Soona doesn't budge at all.

"Oh no." Yeonjun panicked he looked around toward Beomgyu.

"What's wrong?" Beomgyu asked, seeing the panick in Yeonjun's eyes.

"I think we caused trouble.." He says, gritting his teeth in anxiousness.

"What happened?"

"When I told her, I heard the phone crash to the ground, and Soobin picked it up.."He says pacing around the room.

"I'm sure it was a mistake." Beomgyu assured him but he doesn't buy it.

"No it's not. She didn't even say anything." He says, pinching his nose bridge in frustration.

"Soona?" Soobin says waving a hand infront of her eyes and she finally focuses.

"What? Oh sorry." She says blinking finally.

"Soona what happened?" Yena asked beside her.

"Uhm, guys let me talk to Yena alone." She leads Yena to the room and shuts the door behind them.

"Yeonjun called me." She starts and Yena looks at her waiting for the rest.

"Then he said Him and Beomgyu are ...dating." Soona whispered.

Yena covers her mouth to suppress her squeals., "Did he?" She says.

"Yes.."

"That's so good then! Our mission is close to finished!" Yena says jumping up and down.

"Why aren't you happy?" Yena says, stopping her jumping.

"It's .. nothing." Soona lies.

She felt a sharp pain in her chest; she didn't want the mission to be over so fast. She enjoyed her friends and the times they were making.

"You know we can't stay forever. Let's just make as many memories as we can." Yena hugged her. Soona suppresses her tears, and they walked back outside to the other two.

"you okay?" Kai asked, Soona nods.

"I was worried." Soobin says.

"Don't worry guys; I just was having problems thinking," Soona reassured them, and they went back to cooking.

"What do we do? We should call and say it was a bet!" Yeonjun grabbed the phone.

"Wait, give her time." Beomgyu grabbed his hand.

"For what?"

"She's probably confused and everything. Let her have time to calm down." He says and Yeonjun lowered his hand.

"Okay fine." He says feeling defeated.

"Don't worry, I'm sure she'll be fine in a few minutes."

"I'm going to step outside for a few minutes."

Soona excuses herself to the rooftop of the apartments.

"I knew it would happen." A voice spoke behind her, the air blowing through both of their hair.

"You again?" She says turning to face Taehyun.

"I'm only trying to help." He says, holding both his hands up.

"Help or sabotage?" She says as he walked closer with his hands in his pockets.

"I knew all this would happen in the end."

"What?"

"Yena's heart, Your heart and everyone else's."

"What about it?"

"They all have strayed away; Yena is slowly loving Kai. You..well I don't have to say who."

"I dont love or like anyone." Soona says scoffing at his accusations.

"No one? I think you know deep down it's there." He says, standing a few inches away.

"There's no one. Do you know my heart? No." She crosses her arms and looked to the side. She didn't want to see his eyes. There was something uneasy about them, the gaze he always gave.

"You won't even look into my eyes; it's proof you're guilty of it." He chuckled to himself and walked ahead of her.

"It's fine; I just want to remind you; we can't be with anyone not from our realm. You do know this, right?" He says, looking into the distance of the city.

"I don't like anyone really." She says again; she felt like a broken record, constantly repeating herself.

"If you say so, anyways, it seems your mission is coming to an end soon, right?" He says turning around.

"Perhaps."

"That's good; you can return and not worry about your heart betraying you or anyone else for that matter."

"Why are you so concerned about my heart?" She says with crossed arms .

"Because, I know exactly how you're feeling. I felt the same way but look where it made me. The bottom." He says walking closer toward her.

"Don't come so close. Seriously." She says backing up a little.

"Are you scared? We are the same. Even if I wanted to turn you to dust, I can't. It's against the rules. I like being in the celestial realm." He says smirking.

"Anyone with invaded space would be the same as me."

"Me? Invading space? You haven't seen it yet." He stepped closer toward her; she felt the breathe hitch in her throat. She felt threatened, it was as if he's challenging her.

"You! What are you doing?" Yeonjun and Beomgyu suddenly shouted from the rooftop door entrance.

"Here they come." He laughed stepping back.

"You are crazy, you know?" Yeonjun says, glaring toward him.

"Ah seriously this is annoying, you guys are always interrupting my moments." Taehyun says sitting on the floor.

"Go, I don't want to talk to you." Soona says to Yeonjun.

"But I-"

"You two just go." She says with her hand motioning them away.

"Soona we-"

"Just go! Didn't you hear me?" She says raising her voice, the two felt the anger from her.

They never saw Soona so angerd and unnerved, they felt scared.

"Sorry, we'll go." Yeonjun says, grabbing Beomgyu's elbow and pulling him outside the door along with him.

"Good choice." Taehyun says still sitting with his legs crossed.

"What do you want? You can leave too." She says turning away from him.

"You can't get rid of me." He says standing back up.

"I could if I wanted to but that's too boring." She says, looking at her nails.

"Then let's fight."

"That's not allowed; you're trying to make me some thug like you." She says facing him again, her eyebrows raised.

"Thug? That's a stretch don't you think?"

"No, you're a thug." She says confidently.

"It's getting late; I should go even though I want to annoy you more; even I have things to attend to. See you around." He winked and disappeared unexpectedly before her eyes.

Soona walks back into her apartment to find all three asleep on the couch; she walks over to the kitchen and cleans up.

She puts the dirty dishes in hot water and begins to scrub them; suddenly, Yena wakes up and walks over.

"you're cleaning by yourself?" She says observing Soona.

"The others worked hard today, I can clean myself."

"Everything okay?" Yena asks, she could tell something was off in her attitude.

"I'm just stressed but don't worry it'll pass. You should wake them up soon; it's getting dark." Soona brushed the question off and continued scrubbing intensely.

"You guys, it's getting late; time to go." Yena shakes Kai's shoulder; he opens his eyes, barely enough to see.

"What time is it?" Soobin asked fully awake now.

"It's almost 7PM."

"Oh I have homework to do still, Soobin. We should let them clean; thank you guys for today!" Kai says grabbing his backpack.

"I had a good time too, thank you both. See you in class tomorrow." Soobin waves them goodbye and both leave.

"You didn't even look at them to say bye." Yena says sadly.

"Sorry, just not feeling it."

"I'll help you clean the counter off." Yena grabbed the wet wipes and began cleaning the counter that had frosting from them, decorating the cake too wildly.

"Yeonjun and Beomgyu came earlier looking for you, but you weren't here." Yena says throwing the wet wipe away.

"I saw them on the rooftop." Soona says

blankly and drains the water in the sink.

"They looked really adamant, what did they want?"

"They just wanted to ask about the school party." She lies, she didn't want to tell Yena they were having conflicts.

"Is that all? why'd you drop your phone earlier?" She catches on knowing something wasn't right with her story.

"Yeojun called me; he told me he and Beomgyu are supposedly dating." Soona mutters us; she didn't want to say those words but forced it.

"What?! That's great though!" Yena says clapping.

"Why aren't you happy though?" She stops clapping; Soona doesn't face her but instead keeps her back toward Yena. She felt Yena's eyes staring into her back; she knew she couldn't get out of this.

"I don't want to go back so soon, that's all." She says, sighing to herself. It was partially the reason.

"Don't worry; it's not just about them together, remember? they have to be happy together." She pats Soona's shoulder and helps her dry the dishes off.

'Happily together, Right.'

Yeonjun dragged his feet along the street walking beside Beomgyu. "She's furious. We can't even tell her." Beomgyu says with crossed arms.

"Why is she acting that way?" He adds, Yeonjun just stares at the ground, barely listening to anything coming out of Beomgyu's mouth.

"I'll text her." Beomgyu takes out how phone, but Yeonjun quickly grabbed it away from him.

"What? Why?" He looks at Yeonjun shocked.

"Leave it be, she's not in a good mindset." He hands the phone back, Beomgyu slowly takes it and places it back in his pocket.

"You're right sorry. Let's give her time." He pats Yeonjun's back, and they arrived back at Yeonjun's house.

"What's this?" Beomgyu says showing Yeonjun the instagram post made by Soona.

"Go back? where?" Yeonjun's mind ponders.

"Taehyun seems to know." Beomgyu see's the comment made.

"That guy, I'm so sick of him." Yeonjun scowls.

"Wait, look at his Instagram!" Beomgyu jolted the phone toward Yeonjun.

"It's all...Soona?" Yeonjun's eyes can't believe what he seen. It was all pictures of Soona; Soona didn't follow him so that she wouldn't have noticed, his account was private, but he accepted Beomgyu's follow weeks ago.

"I don't think she knows.." Beomgyu says.

"Look there's one of Us." Yeonjun says, pointing to the photo of Beomgyu and Yeonjun.

"Difficult?" Yeonjun couldn't believe his eyes; he felt angry.

'Does Soona think the same' Beomgyu wondered.

"Let's date." Beomgyu says, standing up off the couch.

"What?!" Yeonjun nearly spit his drink out.

"If we post to Instagram that we are dating, I'm sure Soona won't be able to ignore us then."

"That's your idea?! she's only going to become more angry, plus you want to the whole school knowing that?" Yeonjun rolled his eyes.

"Oh, come on, only 50 people from my school follow me."

"50! That can turn into 1,000!"

"Don't worry, let's just test it." Beomgyu finds a photo in his gallery and posted it to instagram.

"You posted it?!" Yeonjun grabbed the phone and looked at the post.

"Relax, i'm sure Soona isn't even awake." Beomgyu shrugged his shoulders.

"We have to delete it." Yeonjun presses the "delete post" button, but Beomgyu grabbed the phone and closed the screen.

"You! Delete it now!" Yeonjun glared.

"Come i'm dating me isn't that bad." Beomgyu stuck his tongue out.

"Are you sure? as of now it seems it is." Yeonjun crossed his arms while pouting.

"Oh you're overreacting, do you need to sleep?"

"You can sleep on the floor." Yeonjun stood up from the couch and began walking toward his stairs.

"Is that how you treat your guest?!" Beomgyu shakes his tiny fist at him, but he doesn't acknowledge him.

"What a jerk." Beomgyu says and huffs while sitting back down on the couch; his phone suddenly vibrates.

1 new text message from: Soona.

Soona

Is it true?

Beomgyu decides not to reply to the message for now; he didn't want to risk upsetting anyone more than they are already. He decides to shut his phone off and lays down back on the couch; he stares at the ceiling for some time.

"I know he read it.." Soona sighed and placed her phone beside her bed on the wooden nightstand.

"What's wrong with them?" She pulls the cover over the head, the darkness surrounding her.

"Aren't friends suppose to tell you everything?" She says, sulking to herself as she lays on her side.

Suddenly her phone vibrated; she threw the covers off and grabbed her phone only to see an annoying text from Taehyun.

Taehyun

Did you see the instagram post?~

Soona rolls her eyes and deletes the text message; she didn't want to give him undue attention.

She pulled the covers back over her head and silently fell asleep that night with a heavy chest.

Taehyun stares at the message for a few minutes, realizing she wasn't ever going to respond. He sighed to himself and went to the kitchen for some water; his throat felt sore.

'Are they dating?' He thinks to himself as he filled the glass to the brim.

'It seems too easy,' He thinks again while he took small sips of the drink.

Beomgyu woke up in a cold sweat looking around the dark living room; he then remembered he was on the couch, and Yeonjun left him down here.

'That jerk' He says raising his fist in the pitch darkness.

He stands up and quietly walked toward the stairs; he grabs the handles and walks upwards.

He reached the narrow hallway and looked in the rooms one by one, only the moonlight giving him light.

He stumbled upon the room Yeonjun was in, the door was slightly ajar; he stuck his head inside to peak at him.

Yeonjun was fast asleep with one left out of the blanket; Beomgyu quietly tiptoed over to the bed.

Beomgyu slowly lifted the blanket and crawled in the bed beside him, his back facing Yeonjun.

He closed his eyes, hoping to fall back asleep, but his eyes shot wide open when Yeonjun turned in his sleep and hugged him from behind.

"Yeonjun?" Beomgyu whispered in the darkness but Yeonjun was still fast asleep.

'I guess he's asleep'

"Love you~" Yeonjun sleep talks, and Beomgyu felt tense as the hug became tighter; he wouldn't be able to breathe if he continued.

He tried to take Yeonjun's grip off him, but it was no use; he was stronger even in his sleep.

"Don't go" Yeonjun says.

"Yeonjun." Beomgyu tried to shake himself out of the grip.

"Why why why?" Yeonjun says barely auditable.

Beomgyu was desperately trying to free himself so much that he eventually pulled so hard he and Yeonjun ended up crashing on the floor together with Beomgyu under him.

Yeonjun suddenly wakes up to see Beomgyu lying on the floor under him.

"You?" He says sleepily, still half asleep.

"Yeonjun, sorry." Beomgyu says trying to get up but Yeonjun falls back asleep on top of him.

"Yeonjun, wake up." Beomgyu tried to lightly slap his face but to no avail.

"Yeonjun come on." Beomgyu flicks his forehead, and Yeonjun groaned, waking up.

"Ouch you, why are we on the floor. You! What did you do!" Yeonjun stands up quickly.

"I didn't do anything."

"You were in my room and why are we on the floor." Yeonjun says rubbing his head.

"Just go back to bed we have class tomorrow." Beomgyu says, grabbing his arm and leading him back to the bed.

"You! don't sleep so close to me." He warns before laying back down.

"This close?" Beomgyu says laying with his back pressed against Yeonjun's back.

"Yah! Are you trying to test me?" Yeonjun spat.

"Goodnight Yeonjunnie!" Beomgyu says and Yeonjun's face became flushed.

"Yeonjunnie?!" He exclaimed, he was shocked from the sudden nickname.

"Stop being so loud just go to bed." Beomgyu says pulling the cover up more.

Yeonjun makes himself comfortable and begins to fall asleep again, smiling.
