Chapter 4



“Kyungsoo—”

“I,” Kyungsoo cuts him, eyes staring determinedly while his jaws set firm, “I love you so much, hyung, you don’t even know. And when I say you make me love you more, it’s true.”

Jongin feels his heart makes a sudden weird flip inside and he feels bile climbing up his throat. This feeling is weird.



It’s in a blink of an eye and Jongin freezes when he sees Kyungsoo leans forward and presses his lips atop his. It’s chaste and quick but it leaves weird tingling feeling all over Jongin’s body.

Kyungsoo leans back, cheeks red and bottom lip trapped in between his teeth. There’s a shy smile grazing his mouth. Jongin could even count the lashes on Kyungsoo’s eyes at the close proximity they have.

He has this weird urge to just lean a bit more closer, forward, and then—



The phone to his office rings and Jongin scrambles up to his feet, looking around frantically as if he had done something really bad. Kyungsoo jolts up in surprise at the shrill voice which is ringing all over the room and he leans back on the balls of his feet nervously, watching Jongin answers the phone and hisses into the line.

Jongin slams the phone down and sighs, running his hand through his hair. Kyungsoo waits with thundering heart. When the older male turns around to face him, Kyungsoo feels dread coming over to him.

“Please… just leave. I will count this as nothing has happened.”

His smile falls off and Kyungsoo grips onto his pants, eyes blinking. “H-Hyung, b-but I—”

“Leave, Kyungsoo! This is not the place for you to play around! This is where your brother and I work and I don’t have time with your silly game!” He shouts, startling the young boy.

His voice echoes all over the room and Kyungsoo feels himself pales. He said this is a game.

“I hope I don’t see you playing around this building again. Go live your life, Kyungsoo.”

Kyungsoo’s sobs stop him from talking any further. Jongin’s head snaps aside and when he sees the trails of tears running down the boy’s pale face, he feels a very heavy guilt hitting him.

“You think this is a game…? You think I’m doing what I am doing without any reason? Hyung, you are so cruel.” Kyungsoo smiles bitterly, grabbing his bag before leaving the office with a loud slam of the door.

Jongin sighs and slumps down on his seat, groaning. This is not what he wants to happen. Those words are not what he wants to say. This is not the reality he wants.



“…Mr. Kim?” His secretary speaks carefully, sticking her head from the door after hearing the loud shout. Jongin replies her call with, “Go back to your work,” before walking towards the door to lock it. He doesn’t need one more person to disturb him or he is going to kill them.

Jongin stares out the window, eyes catching the sight of one crying boy running down the street. He feels his heart is wrenching painfully and Jongin doesn’t know what to do.

He doesn’t mean to speak like that, moreover talking harsh to Kyungsoo, but Jongin is feeling weird in his mind and he loses control over his mouth. This is not what he is supposed to say.

Jongin enters his office room in the early morning on the next day, listening to his secretary listing out his schedule of meetings for today. He sits down on his seat, sighing.

“Bring me the report for last year’s profit and expense. And tell Minseok to come to meet me.”

His secretary sends him an apologetic smile. “I’m sorry, Sir, but Minseok-ssi is having his day off today.”

Jongin glances at her through his glasses. “Minseok is taking a day off? Why don’t I hear about this before?”

“Minseok-ssi calls in the early morning and letting us know that he can’t be working today because of a family issue.”

He excuses her out and grabs his phone, dialing his friend’s number. Jongin waits for Minseok to answer the call; Minseok always has his phone with him.

“Hello, Jongin?”

“Seok, where are you? Not coming today?” Jongin speaks into the line, grabbing a pen to start signing the documents. He hears Minseok’s soft sigh from the other line before he apologizes.

“Sorry, Jongin. But I can’t leave Kyungsoo alone. He is having high fever again.”

Jongin halts his hand and feels dread filling his heart again.

“What’s wrong with your brother?” Jongin asks carefully; even mentioning the younger boy’s name makes his heart churns.

“Soo is having high fever again when I think he is getting better yesterday. But I find him shivering under his covers and he can’t even answer me earlier. I’m going to bring him to hospital if this happened any longer.”

The CEO frowns and glances away from the papers, leaning back to his seat.

“...okay, it’s fine—”

“Jongin, what did you say to Kyungsoo yesterday?” Minseok cuts him in the middle of his sentence, voice stern yet concerned. Jongin freezes and he feels his lips locked together, unable to say anything.

“I heard some voices yesterday from your office, Jongin. We heard everything. What happened between you two?”

Jongin can’t even utter a word. Minseok is waiting silently.

“It’s... nothing. I’m sorry, Minseok, but I can’t tell you.” Jongin mutters, voice low and dejected. He can’t possibly tell him that he practically just kicks his brother out of his office, right. He hears Minseok sighs softly. “Kyungsoo won’t even tell me either. Listen, Jongin. I don’t know what’s going on between you two, but if I happened to know that you hurt him in any way, I wouldn’t forgive you, even though you are my boss, or my friend.”

Minseok mutters lowly, voice laced with venom and threat. Jongin rubs his face with his hand. “I’m sorry, Seok.”

His friend tells him that he will try to come back to work as quickly as possible before hanging up the call. Jongin sighs loudly and listens to the ringing silence in his office; the sound of the clock is mocking him.

What have he done?

Kyungsoo smiles when he sees Sehun and Chanyeol are running towards him, panic written all over their face. Once they land their palms on him, Kyungsoo laughs softly. Chanyeol are holding onto his cheeks while Sehun is checking his torso for any wound.

“What are you guys doing?” He watches them amusedly. Sehun grunts but pats his head.

“Are you feeling better now? We are so worried,” he says, face flat like usual but Kyungsoo is sure he is worried. Oh he loves his friends.

“I’m fine. Chan, you could let me go by now,” he teases, getting a glare from the tallest boy. Sehun pushes Chanyeol away and grabs Kyungsoo by his shoulder, gently helping him walk into the school. Kyungsoo laughs at Chanyeol’s pouting face and waves him to be closer, offering him his hand. Chanyeol holds his right palm while Sehun takes the other one.

He can’t even imagine these guys are his friends. They act like kids.

“So, what did I miss?” Kyungsoo asks, glancing at Sehun. The boy begins to blabber about home works and assignments and the announcement about them to choose their favorite university. Chanyeol tells him about the gossip from his two-days absent, where their class president is getting a girlfriend.

Ah, it makes Kyungsoo remembers. The love letter by the unknown sender.

He has to find out the person though.



Kyungsoo grabs Sehun by his arm once school ends, pulling him towards their favorite cafe. Chanyeol is having a soccer club activity.

“Hun-ah,”

Sehun drinks his hot chocolate and nods his head. “So, what’s wrong?”

Kyungsoo sighs and fiddles with his fingers. Sehun is the only one who can help him with this heartbreak.

“I... kissed him.”

The sound of something splashing against the table makes Kyungsoo winces in disgust. Sehun grabs the napkin to dab his chin from the spilled hot chocolate and glares at him.
“You did what?”

“I kissed him a few days ago.” He repeats, eyes staring Sehun’s shocked face. Sehun quickly tells him to spill everything.

“After I kissed him, he told me to stop playing this game. He shouts to me, Hun. It hurt so much.” Kyungsoo’s bottom lip trembles and he finds himself sobbing again. Sehun quickly runs to his side and brings him to his embrace, patting his back.

“Forget him, Soo. He is not worth your attention.”

“But I have loved him for years, Sehun-ah! It’s going to be hard.” He sobs, fingers clutching onto the other boy’s jacket. Sehun hums in agreement, “But still, this is not going anywhere. You should just forget him and start a new one. I’m sure there will be someone who loves you.”

Kyungsoo sniffs, suddenly remembering his love letter again. He wants to ask Sehun about it but—

“You know, Soo. When the right person comes, they will tell you how worth you are, how beautiful you are, and how your smile is pretty and it makes the sun shines brighter.”

Kyungsoo freezes. That line sounds familiar.

“You wouldn’t know... just how close that person, or how far they are. Maybe you should pay more attention to your surroundings.”

He backs away from Sehun’s embrace, eyes going all wide while his heart is beating so fast that Kyungsoo is sure he can hear it clearly in his ears. How could Sehun know those lines? Why are the lines same with what are written in that letter?

“H-Hun-ah, you...”

“What?” Sehun asks, sipping onto his hot chocolate again and acts all nonchalant. Kyungsoo gulps down his saliva, glancing away from his stare.

“Nothing. I want to go home quickly.” He murmurs. Sehun scrambles up to his feet after finishing his drink, grabbing his hand while muttering, “Let’s go then.”

Kyungsoo blinks his eyes. He doesn’t know why but he is really confused now with the sudden new information. His head is spinning again and all he wants to do is to lie down on his bed and stare blankly at the wall.

Sehun drops him on his house, patting his head and telling him to rest more before going back to his own place. Kyungsoo waves at him before scrambling up into his house and locks himself in his room.

He feels dizzy and his face is warm and his fingers itch just to hold something, anything. Kyungsoo huffs, taking deep breathes a few times before finally he slumps down to the carpet under him, back aligned with the door.

His admirer might be Sehun.

“Soo, how was school today?” Minseok asks while picking lots of meat slices into Kyungsoo’s bowl, ignoring the sound of protest ‘I’m not that hungry, hyung!’

Kyungsoo eats them up in the end because denying food is not his nature. He nods, muttering a soft, “Nothing out of ordinary. Just Chan and Hun—”

Wait.

“What’s with Chanyeol and Sehun?”Minseok asks on where he stops. Kyungsoo steals a glance at him and shakes his head. “They... act weird, just like the usual. Um, hyung, can I ask you something?”

“Sure. What is it?”

Kyungsoo drinks his soup, trying to act as nonchalant as possible. “What do you think about Sehun?”

“What’s with Sehun?” His brother furrows an eyebrow. Kyungsoo shrugs, when inside his heart is plummeting around and he tries to keep his cool. “Just asking. I think I get the weirdness from them.”

Minseok chuckles. “He is a good kid. Not really that good, though. His face could scare a baby, but don’t tell him that.”

Kyungsoo chokes on his rice before laughing at that. He hears Minseok joins his laughter before the older male continues, “Chanyeol is a better kid, I suppose. He knows how to behave. Well, but I can’t say too early, he forgets everything when you three play games.”

Smiling, Kyungsoo nods his head.

Minseok questions him again. “Oh. Have you found out who sent you that letter, Soo?”

Kyungsoo chokes on his soup this time, coughing loudly until his face is red and all he can see are his unshed tears. Minseok goes into panic mode and hits his back, giving him the water. Kyungsoo calms down after five minutes, face still red and throat still sore.

“Hyung, please stop doing that.”

“Sorry. So?”

“Uh... well. I’m still in the middle of investigation?” Kyungsoo mutters, glancing away. Minseok eyes him carefully but comments nothing about his obvious lie. Kyungsoo could tell him when he is ready.

“Oh, sure. Take your time, Soo.”

Minseok just doesn’t see the pale-face Kyungsoo has after that.



He needs to talk about this with someone else. Chanyeol might help.
