Chapter 2



Kyungsoo himself doesn’t know what is it in Jongin hyung that Joonmyun hyung doesn’t have and Yixing ge doesn’t have, that attracts him so much. Jongin hyung is tall, he is handsome, and when he smiles, the corner of his eyes crinkles cutely and he has a unique sound of laughter. Jongin hyung doesn’t have to do anything for Kyungsoo and he is already so smitten with him.

And it happens for years.

Kyungsoo is now an adult and he knows just how life works. He is graduating soon and he is entering university life soon. He should have gone out with his friends, having fun and spending their last time in high school to their heart content, but here he is, pondering about what menu will be good for Minseok hyung and Jongin hyung’s lunch for tomorrow.

Minseok hyung is still working and Kyungsoo is home alone. Their parents live at the other place because their current house is much closer towards Kyungsoo’s high school building and Minseok’s working place.

Sighing, Kyungsoo puts down his pen and leans down his head against the homework on top of the coffee table. He winces when he feels the dull pain on his swollen cheek. Jongin hyung is right; his cheek is swollen by now.

Kyungsoo smiles and brings his fists to his mouth to cover his squeal. Jongin hyung looks concerned at him before. And it’s new.

Jongin hyung doesn’t really show his emotion that often.



Minseok hyung often talks to him about his ‘obsession’ towards Jongin hyung. He says that it’s unhealthy (Kyungsoo knows he says it just because he is jealous for all the attention Kyungsoo is giving to Jongin hyung) and he says that Jongin is old (but Minseokie hyung forgets that he is older than Jongin hyung).

Kyungsoo sighs and stares at the white clouds hanging around the blue sky. Sometimes he is wondering himself, what it is that makes him so in love with Jongin hyung. That hyung doesn’t even listen to him when he talks.

It takes hours for Kyungsoo to think about the reasons but in the end, he gets nothing as the answer. It leads him to headache and no homework is done by the time.

He talks to his friend, Sehun, about this. Sehun says that maybe he is so in love with Jongin hyung because he is his soulmate, his other half. Kyungsoo squeals at that and slaps Sehun on his arm after that. Sehun might have that bitch-face for 24/7 but Kyungsoo knows he is watching girls’ drama once a week.

For all the years Kyungsoo is ‘stalking’ Jongin hyung, he remembers muttering curses under his breath at Jongin hyung’s girlfriends and boyfriends. Jongin hyung is his, for God’s sake!



The front door is opened and closed and Kyungsoo is startled awake to the reality again. He scrambles up to his feet to greet his brother with a tight hug. Minseok hyung caresses his hair and gives him the big paper bag containing the Chinese take-out food. Kyungsoo grins and brings it to the kitchen.

Minseok hyung changes his clothes and sits down on the couch with a tired sigh; a can of beer in his hand. Kyungsoo scrunches up his nose and chuckles, thinking that his hyung is so much like old man for drinking beer after working.

They eat and Kyungsoo is blabbering about his day, complaining about his classmate who is teasing him and about Sehun who forgets to give him his math note back. Minseok grins while listening, nodding once in a while before his eyes catch the sight of something unusual.

“What’s going on with your cheek?”

Kyungsoo holds it up and grins, “I fell before.”

Minseok hyung scrambles up in panic and Kyungsoo rolls his eyes. Typical possessive brother. He mutters ‘I’m fine, hyung’ but Minseok hyung is not having any of it. He inspects his face left and right, caressing the swollen spot dearly before telling him to put some ointment on it.

Kyungsoo stares at his brother’s face and he smiles. How he hopes Jongin hyung could be like Minseok hyung.

“Thanks, hyung.” He whispers, and Minseok hyung pats his head, telling him to be more careful from now on.



Kyungsoo steps closer to his locker that morning, opening the door only to find a folded paper on top of his books. He looks around before picking it up; shoving it into his bag to open it later when there’s no one around.

He closes the door again and jolts up on his spot when Chanyeol’s face comes up to his sight. With a growl, he pinches the tall boy’s arm and hearing Chanyeol’s pained grunt.

“What are you doing this early?” Kyungsoo asks, readjusting his backpack. Chanyeol drapes an arm around his shoulder and pulls him to walk.

“I have some business to do.”

Kyungsoo shoots him a dirty look. “Are you screwing a girl?”

The look on Chanyeol’s face is priceless and Kyungsoo laughs. Chanyeol pinches his cheek and he swats his hand away, because hey, it hurts. It takes a few more steps away from the lockers area before Sehun jumps on their back and greets them morning with the unusual way.



Kyungsoo is taking a bus, holding two packs of lunch when suddenly he remembers that forgets the folded paper from his locker earlier. He rummages into his bag and finds the said paper, unfolding it and begins reading.

It’s a love letter.

He yelps and looks around; making sure that the people in the bus is not reading it, before peeking on it again.

The sender is not leaving a name but Kyungsoo can see just how the sender is practically worshiping the ground he walks and tells him various sweets words about how the sun shines so bright when he smiles or how the birds are chirping happily when he laughs. Kyungsoo feels his cheeks warm at the compliments. It’s a bit exaggerated but he loves this kind of attention.

He shoves the paper into his pocket, getting down from the bus when he is arrived. The security male greets him with a wave and Kyungsoo grins. The girls on the receptionist desk are screaming his name and Kyungsoo greets them with a full heart-shaped smile.

Kyungsoo peeks into Minseok hyung’s office and finds his brother is typing his work. He grins before calling with a soft ‘hyung’ and closes the door behind him. Minseokie hyung smiles at him and pushes the notebook aside because his brother is here bringing him that delicious lunch.

Watching Minseok hyung taking the chopsticks, Kyungsoo excuses himself for a bit to give the lunch box to Jongin hyung. He knocks on the door, hearing the muffled ‘come in’ before greeting the said male.

Jongin hyung sighs again and Kyungsoo ignores the stinging feeling on his chest. It seems like he feels burdened. Jongin hyung has never looked as if he was enjoying the lunch.

He skips with a smile, opening the boxes in front of him and urges Jongin hyung to eat quickly. Kyungsoo wants to stay there and watch him eat, but there’s a voice telling him that he doesn’t have the heart to disturb Jongin hyung for today. So he excuses himself and walks back to Minseok hyung’s office room, oblivious to Jongin hyung’s questioning stare.

Minseok hyung is surprised with his sudden appearance and his eyes shine happily. Kyungsoo grins, maybe he should have stayed with Minseok hyung, after all he is his brother.

Kyungsoo remembers the love letter and he is thinking about telling his hyung.

“Hyung, I want to tell you something later.”

“Is it important? Why don’t you say it now?” Minseok hyung asks, munching on the kimchi. Kyungsoo shakes his head, “I’ll tell you later at home.”

Minseok nods and continues eating, before the door to his office is knocked and Jongin is coming into the view, holding the wrapped up empty lunch box. Kyungsoo smiles and takes it from him, hearing Jongin says thank you to him, before leaving the room again.

He sighs and he can feel Minseok hyung’s stare at him. When he asks him about it, Minseok hyung shakes his head and just compliments him about the delicious taste of the meat.



Kyungsoo tells Minseok hyung about the love letter when he gets home. Minseok hyung grabs the paper from him and reads the sentences, wincing at some cheesy words here and there.

“You don’t know who it is?”

Shaking his head, Kyungsoo leans on the couch and sighs. “I just find it in my locker, without a name.”

“I think the sender is a shy person. They should have left a name for you to know.”

Kyungsoo nods in agreement. He is curious as to who would be so attracted with him. Is it a girl or is it a boy?

How would Jongin hyung react when he knows this?

Sighing, Kyungsoo takes the paper back from Minseok’s hand and goes into his room. His life is getting complicated nowadays.



Minseok is whistling happily while waiting for his coffee. Jongin stares at him questioningly and nudges his friend.

“You look so happy.”

The chubby male grins. “Of course! It’s a lovely day, isn’t it?”

Jongin taps his foot. Minseok sighs dreamily.

“My Soo is an adult now. Someone is hitting on him!”

The CEO stops from choking onto his coffee and stares alarmed at his friend. “What?”

Minseok nods and leans against the wall. “Kyungsoo got a love letter. That person practically loves him so much. With a letter full of affection words... I’m sure that someone is a good person. Kyungsoo is so lucky.”

Jongin stares at the black coffee, suddenly losing his appetite at the bitter taste. “Yeah. Indeed he is.”

He bids goodbye to Minseok and gets into his office to continue his work, getting distracted for each minute before he scowls in annoyance. Something just doesn’t feel right after Minseok tells him that.

What is going on with him?



Minseok knocks on his door an hour later, telling him that he is getting invited for lunch by the investor after their meeting and he can’t refuse it. He tells him to say sorry to his brother when he gets here later. Jongin chokes on his saliva; calling for Minseok to reason with him but the other has already closed the door and runs downstairs towards the waiting investors.

Jongin groans.



Kyungsoo knocks on the door half an hour later, head peeking in and eyes wide in confusion.

“Jonginie hyung? I can’t find Seokie hyung?” He murmurs, voice soft and small. Jongin takes off his glasses and massages the bridge of his nose.

“Minseok is having a sudden lunch invitation from the investors. Shouldn’t he tell you about that already?”

Kyungsoo pats his pockets, trying to find his phone and he yelps. “I left it at home!”

“Sure, great.” Jongin mutters sarcastically, eyes rolling. Kyungsoo grins like a child before putting down the lunch on the desk. “Then I think all of these will be yours, hyung!”

Jongin puts down his pen and watches as Kyungsoo is opening the lids for every boxes, grinning when he still see the steam. “Hyung, it’s still hot! Hurry and finish them!”

“How do I suppose to finish all of them? You eat with me.” Jongin says and startles himself with his words. He doesn’t even think he could ever say that. He almost regrets it when he sees that glistening light in Kyungsoo’s eyes and he nods way too fast.

“Let’s eat! I haven’t eaten yet! The teacher is so mean today; he won’t let us go even though the bell is ringing! We are late for ten minutes because of him!” He begins to complain and Jongin thinks it’s nice to hear Kyungsoo’s voice; it’s thick and soft and melodic.

He wonders why he has never heard it really well.

“Eat the vegetables, hyung!” Kyungsoo scolds him, pointing the thrown-away veggies with his chopsticks. Jongin scrunches up his nose and shakes his head.

“No. I love meat better.”

“But still! It’s not healthy! You have to stay healthy as the CEO!” Kyungsoo tries to reason with him and Jongin holds back himself from chuckling, thinking that Kyungsoo nags just like his mom.

“Fine, fine.”

They continue to eat, with Jongin nodding to every single word Kyungsoo is telling him. Lunch time today takes a bit longer than usual but Jongin finds himself not minding about it. For once, he thinks he needs an entertainment.

“Say,” Jongin starts, cutting Kyungsoo from blabbering about the stray cat he sees when he gets back from school.

“Yes, hyung?” Kyungsoo waits. It’s new that Jongin is the one to start a conversation.

“Minseok tells me that you got a love letter.”

Jongin doesn’t know what he is doing and what it is that he wants by asking this question, but when he sees the smile falls off Kyungsoo’s lips, he immediately regrets it. What does he expect him to say anyway?

“Um, yeah,” Kyungsoo bends his head down, fiddling with his fingers and Jongin can see the faint blush on his cheeks. It’s a bit disturbing to know the talkative Kyungsoo turns into this timid boy once he mentions about the love letter. Something is stirring in Jongin’s gut.

“Do you like it? Minseok seems to be happy about it.”

Kyungsoo sends him a quick glance before staring away again. He shrugs. “I don’t know who the sender is, so I can’t decide what to feel.”

Jongin grips onto the arm rest of his seat, feeling weird churning in his throat. He pushes the empty boxes of lunch towards Kyungsoo who suddenly begins to pay more attention on the pattern on the lids of the boxes.

He needs Kyungsoo to leave.

“I think… you should consider this as your chance of growing into an adult. Start a real relationship and live your life a little.” He mutters, grabbing his glasses and pen and starts working again.

Kyungsoo’s smile falls off completely and he feels his chest burns in pain. Does Jongin hyung just tell him to find a lover? Doesn’t he know he loves him?

“Hyung?”

“Can you go, Kyungsoo? I need to finish my work.”

Kyungsoo opens his mouth to say something else and Jongin waits. He waits. But Kyungsoo stops himself from doing so and nods, grabbing the boxes before bowing a bit at him out of habit, and then closing the door once he is out.

Jongin sighs loudly and throws the pen to the desk, destroying his hair with his hands. It’s so fucking confusing.



The sky growls and Jongin looks up, watching the rain starts running down to the ground and the people who are trying to find a shelter to avoid getting wet.

He remembers Kyungsoo not bringing any umbrella.

A guilt feeling settles in his chest and Jongin frowns. It’s not his fault and it has no connection with him. He ignores the feeling and continues his work with heavy heart.
