Chapter 29: Under the Starry Sky

The warmth of the summer night lingered in the air, and the sound of crickets provided a soothing background melody as Yeonjun and Taehyun sat together in the boat, their arms still wrapped around each other. The stars above seemed to twinkle in celebration of their newfound love, and the lake sparkled like a canvas of diamonds. As they sat there, Yeonjun's fingers began to gently brush against Taehyun's hair, sending shivers down his spine. Taehyun closed his eyes, letting the gentle touch wash over him, and Yeonjun's eyes followed him, drinking in the sight of his peaceful expression. The boat drifted aimlessly on the lake, carried by the gentle current, and Yeonjun's eyes wandered to the shore, where the lights of the city twinkled like a distant star. He knew that eventually, they would have to return to reality, but for now, he was content to stay lost in the magic of the night with Taehyun. Taehyun's eyes fluttered open, and he met Yeonjun's gaze, his heart skipping a beat as he saw the adoration shining in his eyes. "I'm glad we did this," Taehyun said, his voice barely above a whisper. Yeonjun's face lit up with a soft smile. "Me too," he replied, his voice filled with emotion. "I feel like I've known you my whole life, but at the same time, it feels like we're just getting started." Taehyun's heart swelled with excitement at the prospect of exploring their relationship. He knew that there would be challenges ahead, but with Yeonjun by his side, he felt like he could face anything. As they sat there, the silence between them grew comfortable, and Yeonjun's fingers continued to brush against Taehyun's hair, sending shivers down his spine. The stars above twinkled like diamonds, and the lake sparkled like a mirror, reflecting the beauty of the night. Suddenly, Yeonjun's phone broke the silence, and he hesitated for a moment before answering it. Taehyun watched as Yeonjun's expression changed from peaceful to concerned, and he felt a pang of worry. "What's wrong?" Taehyun asked, his voice low and urgent. Yeonjun's eyes met his, and he sighed before speaking. "It's my dad," he said, his voice filled with tension. "He wants to see me at the office tomorrow. I have a feeling it's not going to be good." Taehyun's heart sank as he saw the worry etched on Yeonjun's face. He knew that Yeonjun's relationship with his father was complicated, and he couldn't help but wonder what was brewing. Without a word, Taehyun pulled Yeonjun into his arms, holding him close as the stars twinkled above them, and the lake sparkled like a reminder of the uncertain future ahead.
