A few days passed, as Seungkwan tried to avoid the older as much as he could, he always left early morning, way before his classes were supposed to even start, which meant he broke their regular routine of him waking up the older, resulting in a lot of questions from the older, which he somehow always managed to dodge.

After leaving in the morning, he returned back to their apartment only late in the evening, always claiming he was too tired to do anything and thus locking himself up in his room, and today was no different.

It was almost 9 pm as the front door opened, revealing Seungkwan, who quitely removed his shoes and walked inside their living room, ready to directly make his way towards his room, until a voice stopped him.

"Seungkwan", Mingyu called, he was seated on the couch, the television turned off, the lights switched off.

"hi hyung, I am just gonna go to bed, today was a long day", Seungkwan replied as he passed the older a smile before continuing his little walk towards his room.

"No, I mean talk to me first and then go to sleep, you can spare me at least five minutes", Mingyu's voice was stern, leaving no room for any type of argument.

Seungkwan sighed as he made his way towards the couch, taking a seat beside the older, looking expectingly at him.

"Did I do something?", Mingyu asked, his eyes focused on the younger's eyes.

"What do you mean?", Seungkwan asked as his eyes shifted their focus to anything other than the older, who still had his eyes intensely fixed at him.

"Don't try this on me, I know you know what I am talking about", Mingyu said as a sigh left his lips.

Mingyu was tired, he had tried to find out why Seungkwan was acting weird lately, initially he had found it odd but he let it be thinking maybe the younger really was busy but then it had been going on for almost a week, so he definitely knew something was wrong.

"Hyung there is nothing, and I don't know what you are talking about", Seungkwan answered as he tried to sound as normal as he could.

"Seungkwan-ah, you know you can tell me", Mingyu softly said, he knew he shouldn't really push the younger, Seungkwan never took that we'll, he would tell it to you himself if he wanted to, but still here Mingyu was trying to push the younger into telling him, he was desperate to know, to know and solve whatever it was that was bothering the younger and making him avoid Mingyu.

"Hyung, I told you there is nothing, I was just busy, and I am sorry about that, that's it, now can I go?", Seungkwan said as he stood up, not really waiting for the older's reply

"You are lying", the older's words stopped Seungkwan in his tracks.

"I know you lied that day as well, you told us the previous day that you went to help Hansol buy a gift for his mother which was the following day, and on the next day you told me you were meeting up with him before class, I knew you really weren't but I thought maybe you really were, but then I found you in the library sleeping alone, and you even slipped while covering up your lie, but I let it be because I knew you had a reason behind it, and I thought you would gradually talk to me about it if it was still bothering you, but you clearly aren't", Mingyu said, his voice calm contrasting to his words.

"What is it Seungkwan?", He asked again, as he stood up as well.

"I don't have to tell you everything", Seungkwan exclaimed as he eyed the older, he felt bad for behaving like that, for lying, but he didn't know what else to do.

Silence engulfed them, as the older said nothing, a million thoughts were raging through their heads but they didn't voiced a single one.

"Yes you don't have to, but this involves me, you are angry at something I did and I can't help it if I don't know what it is", Mingyu said after minutes passed.
