jungwon was following namjoon who was supposed to show him where his room was. they were on the first floor, they had passed numerous rooms but stopped in front of none of them. jungwon was getting tired of it already and was wondering just how big the mansion was. he was feeling suffocated because of the thick silence between the two as they advanced down the hall. his stomach was aching too not helping him with the situation.

namjoon was walking a little ahead of him with a calm and composed demeanor. he fixed his glasses and walked without uttering a word or showing any signs of emotions on his face. jungwon looked at his back in distaste. he wasn't paying attention to where he was going, eventually bumping into namjoon who stopped suddenly.

"what the hell dude? why did you stop all of a sudden?" jungwon hissed while massaging his forehead. it was an exaggerated reaction but that's just jungwon on daily basis.

"we're here." namjoon replied and opened the door, entering the room. jungwon rolled his eyes and followed him inside. "this room was specially designed for you while keeping your likes and dislikes in mind. as your archery competition is coming up there are practice equipments in the corner."

jungwon stared at the room, knowing it was shinhye who arranged it. the room was spacious with a bed in the middle of the room and nightstands in either side of the bed. on the nightstands there were flowers in the vase. on the left he could see a door, maybe it connected to the restroom. he looked at the right to see a wardrobe and a cupboard. just beside the window was the study table. in the middle of the room was a small round table with beanbags around it. on the table was kept the archery kit. the rooms were painted turquoise and the curtains matched the colour pattern. jungwon couldn't lie that he didn't like it because the room sure looked fun.

"now come here." namjoon called out. that's when he noticed that namjoon was standing beside the bed with a first aid box. jungwon sighed and walked over to him. namjoon handed him the tablets. "it's for your stomachache. although dad insisted on getting rid of your old luggage but i thought you might want to keep it so i insisted on bringing it here tomorrow."

"thanks." jungwon replied taking the medicine and drinking water. he however jumped in surprise when namjoon suddenly wrapped a band-aid on his knuckles. 'i didn't realize i was bleeding-'

"you know, i never liked the idea of mrs shinhye marrying my father. i thought it would be too much for us to adapt because with our father's every marriage only came further responsibilities and grief." namjoon explained as he took a seat on the bed beside jungwon.

"then why did you let it happen? you could've stopped it, you know? it would've saved us both from so many misfortunes." jungwon asked standing up in irritation.

"it's not as simple as you think jungwon. whatever dad wants, he gets it. everything that tries to come in their way needs to be wiped out. that attitude doesn't change for his own sons." namjoon replied. jungwon gulped, looking at the elder boy in pity. he then noticed his bruised cheek. jungwon immediately understood what namjoon said was a blatant truth. "we were deceived too. we were told that mrs shinhye didn't have any children. but then suddenly──"

namjoon however cut himself off when jungwon started applying the medicine on his bruised cheek. namjoon could only stare at the person in front of him with wide eyes. jungwon was the last person namjoon expected this act of kindness from. jungwon should've hated him for not stopping jimin from doing what he did but he didn't. hearing what he just told, and watching the state the jeon siblings were in jungwon got an idea of what atmosphere they were living in.

"i hate you guys very much and this is just because i'm a very great human being and i can't stand seeing people hurt. don't think that i've warmed up towards you or something." jungwon explained with a scoff as he started wrapping bandage around his face which was clearly not needed. and after five minutes when he was done, namjoon was looking like a mummy. jungwon didn't even take namjoon's glasses off before starting his aid and the bandages were so loose that they were hanging down his face.
