Chapter 23: Reunited

The moment Yeonjun's eyes met his, Taehyun felt a wave of relief wash over him, followed closely by a rush of excitement. He quickened his pace, his feet carrying him towards Yeonjun with a sense of urgency he couldn't quite explain. As he approached, Yeonjun's expression softened, and he took a step forward, his eyes never leaving Taehyun's face. "Hey," Yeonjun said, his voice low and gentle, as Taehyun drew to a stop in front of him. Taehyun's heart was still racing, but as he looked into Yeonjun's eyes, he felt a sense of calm wash over him. He had found Yeonjun, and that was all that mattered. "I was looking for you," he said, his voice a little rougher than he intended. Yeonjun's smile was warm, and it seemed to light up the entire street. "I was looking for you too," he said, taking another step closer to Taehyun. As they stood there, the distance between them seemed to shrink, until it felt like they were the only two people in the world. Taehyun could feel Yeonjun's eyes on him, searching for something, and he knew that he was searching for the same thing - a connection, a sense of understanding, a sense of belonging. Without thinking, Taehyun reached out, his hand brushing against Yeonjun's. It was a gentle touch, but it sent a jolt of electricity through both of them. Yeonjun's eyes locked onto Taehyun's, and for a moment, they just stood there, the world around them melting away. The tension between them was palpable, and Taehyun could feel the air vibrating with unspoken emotions. He knew that he had to say something, to break the silence, but his mind was a blank. Yeonjun seemed to sense his hesitation, and he took a step closer, his face inches from Taehyun's. "I'm glad I found you," he whispered, his breath tickling Taehyun's skin. Taehyun's heart skipped a beat as he felt Yeonjun's warm breath on his skin. He knew that he was in trouble, that he was falling for Yeonjun in a way that he couldn't ignore. But as he looked into Yeonjun's eyes, he knew that he couldn't help himself. He was drawn to Yeonjun, like a moth to a flame, and he was powerless to resist. As they stood there, frozen in time, Taehyun knew that everything was about to change. The question was, was he ready for what was coming next?
