Author pov:

looking at taehyung sleep, jeonguk decided to leave the room and let younger take his much needed rest.
he sighed standing on his foot, planting a soft buss on taehyungs forehead then to his lips.

"I don't love you, but hiding in your breath I breath too"

with thousands of contemplation he walked out shutting the door closed behind.

he held the door handle tight for a while sighing deep, shutting his eyes closed, he finally turned on his heal and then his eyes fell on Baekhyun sitting alone on a bench.

he walked close to him plop down beside Baekhyun whos eyes were glued on the door where taehyung is, jeonguk trailed his gaze then sigh darting his gaze on other side he uttered

"his sleeping now"
his velvety voice rang through Baekhyuns ear snapping him out.
Baekhyun nodded in response fiddling with his finger

"what exactly happened to him"? Jeonguk asked now looking at baek who gulped loud, making jeonguk frown at his action

"he---he had shortness of breathing and doctor said he's quite weak due to lack of nutrients"
He lied.

"you should have stayed with him, he's living alone he must have been neglecting his meals" jeonguk says eyebrows knitted together.

"i---i had to be with dad for business discussion and my studies made me quite occupied too,I didn't got to----"
baek uttered looking down well aware of jeonguk intense glare on him

"you always have been so selfish" jeonguk says in disgust, anger growing up hearing his excuse.

"you are right" with a broken voice baek agreed, guilt, regret laced in his tone, for a second jeonguk heart clenched looking at latters painful eyes but he shrugg it off.

baek turned to jeonguk side smiling faintly

"cup- I mean tae, he wanted to see you though he doesn't wanted to disturbe you but chany already had dialed your number as soon as tae spilled your name, thank you for coming and I'm sorry for bothering y-

"You don't have to be, you should have called me earlier" jeonguk was happy yet sad knowing tae wanted to see him

"I don't deserve you tae"

they both didn't exchange any other words after that, just sat beside each other awkwardly, both in their own affliction, both in same state of mind, both in guilt and regrets, and both doesn't know the way to escape from this maze.

"I thought----you, you wouldn't come" baek stuttered breaking the thick silent between them.
jeonguk chukles bitterly, biting his lips

"Is that because you thought I'll do the same what you did four years back"? Jeonguk asked eyes blazing in anger, Baekhyun didn't respond, bewildered with others remark.
Jeonguk shook his head standing up on his feet

"I'm not low life like you Baekhyun, I might be with your brother but i haven't forgot whatever shit you have done, I hated you and I still do and----" jeonguk speaks his heart but shut instantly refrain himself for lashing on baekhyun not just-----yet.

"w-what do you mean"? baekhyun knitted his eyebrows in puzzlement, he couldn't catch on jeonguk words who looked unaffected with his doubt

"You got zip to do with my words, relinquish it baekhyun" jeonguk shrugged it off leaving baekhyun with his bedlam mind.

"I have no idea what you meant but, just a request to you-----never take out your hatred, anger on my tae. I know you wouldn't do that but still---- he, he--- needs you just be with him, I know we have been in many quarrels and tae has nothing to do with all our shit"
baekhyun hold forth was laced with a hint of plea, and jeonguk could sense it all.
