Soobin opened Beomgyu's DMs for fun, sending him only a quick message of greeting.

_

Soobin:
Hey beomgyu what's up
Delivered

_

He hadn't expected the other boy to respond so soon, yet almost instantly the icon popped up to let Soobin know that the other was typing.

It seemed he'd chosen the right person after all. If Beomgyu was willing to chat for a while, maybe this class wouldn't end up being so agonizingly boring.

Gyu:
Yoooooo Soobin
Hru man

Soobin:
I'm good !!!
Thanks for yesterday btw lmao

Gyu:
Nahhh it's no problem
Besides
Even if u weren't my friend I think Yeonjun would've beat my ass if I didn't bring u with

Soobin:
LMAO a real one
Wait
Omg can I ask you something

Gyu:
Hm?

Soobin:
Do you know wtf mea columba means

Gyu:
???
That means "my dove"
It's a demon pet name
Why?

Soobin:
What

Gyu:
Y'know
Pet name is an affectionate nickname for someone

Soobin:
Yes Beomgyu I know what a pet name is
Wdym demon tho
Like FOR demons? BY demons?

Gyu:
I mean it works either way! It's just very popular in demonic culture
A bunch of humans use it too if they're familiar with a lot of demons
Why are you asking about it tho??? Where'd you see it????

Soobin:
Oh uhh I just
Heard it somewhere
Idk
I was curious

Gyu:
You're a shit liar
It was Yeonjun wasn't it

Soobin:
UMM what makes you think that
👉🏻👈🏻

Gyu:
That damn SIMP
I KNEW IT

Soobin:
PLEASE

Gyu:
Call him "dulcissime"
He'll probably drop dead

Soobin:
...why would I want that

Gyu:
It will be funny and I want to watch him squirm over it

Soobin:
Ahh a sadist

Gyu:
Yes but only towards Yeonjun

Soobin:
Me but with masochism

Gyu:
I'm gonna punt you for saying that

Soobin:
Deserved

Gyu:
My friend Kai always threatens to punt me,, I think I've inherited his personality

Soobin:
Oh I know him

Gyu:
You
HUH?

Soobin:
Did... you not know?
Oh lmao I guess he never told you then

Gyu:
Did Yeonjun introduce you?
Weird, he usually keeps his people away from Kai

Soobin:
Nooo we just kinda ran into him
Also "his people" 🗿🗿 what's that mean

Gyu:
His uh
Partners
You know
Date mates
Courters

Soobin:
I get it you can stop

Gyu:
Romantic interests?
Suitors??
Paramours...
Lovers???

Soobin:
I GET IT I GET IT
I am none of those things

Gyu:
yeah and I'm the queen of england

Soobin:
I'm not joking 🗿🗿 it's probably one sided

Gyu:
One sided going in both directions maybe

Soobin:
STOPPP lord why did I text you

Gyu:
Because i possess immense knowledge
You said that you've stolen a lot of his clothes yesterday ?

Soobin:
Yeah.... what about it

Gyu:
He once nearly body slammed me WWE style after I accidentally wore his pants

Soobin:
Maybe you shouldn't have worn his pants 😪

Gyu:
SOOBIN
He lets you get away with so muchhh
Even compared to his actual official past partners

Soobin:
?????
Explain

Gyu:
He used to be really pissy about letting people come over to his house
You've been there multiple times right?

Soobin:
Yes,,,
He said that you guys would come over a lot tho?

Gyu:
I mean yeah we would come over fairly often but it took a while for him to open up
He always said he didn't want people there because his mom was overbearing

Soobin:
AH I've met her too!
She seems chill idk
But now that you mention it he always does kinda try to keep me away from her

Gyu:
I think I know why but hmm
Whatever, he's just kinda weird sometimes

Soobin:
???
Isn't it bc she asks a lot of weird shit
That's what he said

Gyu:
Mm yeah I guess

Soobin:
Besides, all we ever do at his place is cuddle and sleep
It's not like his mom has anything to be sus about

Gyu:
you guys do what....

Soobin:
I'm not repeating it

Gyu:
I'm surprised you're comfortable sleeping with him at night
I used to do it all the time but it got kinda weird when he started dating lmaO

Soobin:
......????
Why'd that effect it

Gyu:
His girlfriend didn't like him being shirtless in bed with another guy
Understandable honestly

Soobin:
WELL yeah
Why would he be shirtless tho

Gyu:
Cause he sleeps shirtless?
He hates wearing tshirts to bed so he usually just wears shorts or sweatpants

Soobin:
He hates wearing...
Really?

Gyu:
Yeah? Haven't you slept overnight at his place?

Soobin:
He always wears shirts

Gyu:
What

Soobin:
He always wears shirts to bed with me
I've never seen him shirtless

Gyu:
OHH
Yeah man that's weird... idk he never wore anything with me

Soobin:
Hurts to see other people living your dream 😔

Gyu:
He's probably just being shy, don't worry about it
You could probably convince him to do it easily enough

Soobin:
Now what would I do that for

Gyu:
Personal enjoyment

Soobin:
What kind of person do you think I am

Gyu:
I know you're imagining it

Soobin:
STOP

Gyu:
Gimme a sec I have a gift for you
Let me find it

Soobin:
????????

Gyu:

Soobin:
EHEHAHSH
Him
His hairrr

Gyu:
WHY'D YOU SCREENSHOT

Soobin:
I have no idea what you're talking about

Gyu:
You're just as much of a simp as him I take it back

Soobin:
Rude

Gyu:
Hhhhh god
Please hurry up and date him already
All of his exes bothered me so much but I actually like you

Soobin:
Oh yeah he did mention that he has a lot of them

Gyu:
If I saw any of them in the street I'd probably throw hands with em
Assholes

Soobin:
??? What'd they do
He said there's a lot but wouldn't tell me any details about who ended it or whatever

Gyu:
hAH he probably didn't tell you because it makes him sound bad
He never ends relationships, all seven or eight broke up with him

Soobin:
OH...
Why????

Gyu:
He doesn't really talk about it honestly
All I know is that almost every one ended with some kinda fight,,,
You know what's weird though?

Soobin:
What?

Gyu:
He's such a hopeless romantic but he hasn't dated anyone in a good while!
I know he switched schools and everything but usually by now he'd be seeing someone

Soobin:
😶😶
Idek if he has any friends here besides me

Gyu:
Yeah I wonder why 🙄

Soobin:
What's that supposed to mean,,,
And on second thought
He's friends with some girls in our class

Gyu:
What girls??

Soobin:
Like my best friend Yeji

Gyu:
So essentially his only other friends are your friends

Soobin:
...yeah

Gyu:
You realize that's a tactic people use to cement themselves into someone's social circle right

Soobin:
Ok yes I understand your point
however
I'm pretty sure they met unintentionally

Gyu:
Mannnn you're so difficult
You really don't think there's something there?

Soobin:
Wellllll I wouldn't say that

Gyu:
??? Elaborate then

Soobin:
I've had my suspicions...
But I don't wanna say anything in case it turns out he's just playing

Gyu:
Respectable but Yeonjun's not really that kind of person
He is flirty as hell but his play-flirting is generally distinguishable from his real flirting

Soobin:
?!?!!? You say that like I can tell the difference

Gyu:
I think you'll know.

Soobin:
I literally just told you I won't

Gyu:
Honestly you could probably just ask him if he's being serious and he'd give an answer

Soobin:
Beomgyu.

Gyu:
Yes?

Soobin:
Do you have any idea how fcking awkward that would be for me

Gyu:
Yeah but I kinda just want y'all to date so :/

Soobin:
You.......
Hhngngnfkdk why does it have to be so difficult
There should be some rule that if u kiss someone u have to explain why

Gyu:
Um
You've kissed?

Soobin:
No
*He* has kissed me

Gyu:
On the mouth?

Soobin:
NO

Gyu:
I was about to call you the dumbest man in the universe

Soobin:
He literally just started doing it too
Startles the fuck outta me every time
Especially when it's on the neck

Gyu:
ON THE NECK??
WHEWWW SOOBIN.....

Soobin:
I KNOW I KNOW
I'm not that dense trust me I nearly piss myself whenever I think about it

Gyu:
So you agree that it's likely that he's into you

Soobin:
Yes but at the same time I'm like ,,,why

Gyu:
Idk bc ur cute?
Don't ask me why
Just go with it

Soobin:
hhhhhhhh
I've never dated anyone before tho
I'd be such a bad boyfriend :(

Gyu:
If yeonjun heard you say that he'd probably cry
You'll be finnneee

Soobin:
Ahhh wait I think I gotta go
He's waking up

Gyu:
I thought you two were at school?

Soobin:
Yeah but his head hurt a little so he took a nap

Gyu:
Ohhh still?

Soobin:
... huh?

Gyu:
He texted me yesterday whining about how he was dYiNg and in aGoNy
It's happened to him hella times before so I figured he'd be fine bc it normally goes away after like a day

Soobin:
????? Is he sick????
He told me it was just a small headache

Gyu:
It's fine Soobin
If he's at school that means he probably is feeling better right?

Soobin:
Yeah I guess
Still tho...

Gyu:
Ur such a boyfriend 🙄
he's a bad liar so if he was really sick you'd probably know

Soobin:
Now hold on... you said I was a shit liar too
Maybe ur just psychic
I don't trust that judgement

Gyu:
Sadly I'm not a demon 😩 although being psychic would be cool

Soobin:
Wh....
What do those two things have to do with each other

Gyu:
Demons are really good at telling when people are lying
Although it's not really a "psychic" thing per se
There's some pretty cool science behind how they do it

Soobin:
You've just made me afraid of demons suddenly /j
If y'all saw me supporting demons no you didn't 😩

Beomgyu:
AKSJAKS PLEASE

Soobin:
What's the science tho
Pls explain simply I'm dumb

Beomgyu:
Basically
When people lie, their brain contains higher amounts of certain chemicals and hormones
But demons are designed to sense the *same ones* from other demons
So it ends up with a situation where demons will kinda just /feel/ that you're lying to them

Soobin:
This is terrifying! Thanks
How did we even get to this topic

Beomgyu:
No idea
I've been studying demonic biology recently and it's pretty cool so if you wanna learn about it I can reccommend some good podcasts and shit

Soobin:
👀 I'm interested
But send them to me later
I've gotta finish this exercise for Jun

Beomgyu:
Alright, good luck!

Soobin:
Thankksss I need it

Beomgyu:
👍🏻
