Unconsciously raising her hand to try and stop them from leaving, Donghyuck patted her hand back down, shaking his head.

And so they just stood there, with Donghyuck plainly staring at his twin as she look anywhere but to his direction.

The ringing grew as her soul crumbled more each second that passed, an uprising temperature radiating from it, and as if those weren't enough her brain started flashing what happened earlier.

I did what any sane people would, she repeatedly chanted inwardly, trying to convince herself in an attempt to calm the painful ringing from her insides.

Few more minutes passed, and Jisung who they left inside naturally became curious and impatient with the long wait and decided to go and follow them.

Even more puzzled seeing the redhead's absence and the twin's unusual silence, just oddly standing there as if they were super-glued to the ground, not minding the snow falling around them.

"Are you two okay? Where's Jeno hyung?"

The name mention ripped her out of the thoughts she had, immediately turning to him, "He's.. Sick so it's just us again", Donghee replied, trying to sound as casual to avoid any suspicion.

Picking up the water bottle from the ground he nudged Haechan, "This yours?"

It's the one Minhyung was drinking from before they spotted the two, and the whole thing unfold in front of them, which surprised Minhyung to the fact that he dropped it. 

Haechan eyed Donghee who he figured wants the scene from before to remain just between them, nodded his head, "You're growing so fast Jisung-ah"

Solemnly patting the younger's red hair, Minhyung sighed, "So you guys are really soulmates huh?", earning a nod from Jeno who had his shoulders drooped, along with his whole body visibly shivering.

"She can't do that right Mark hyung?", he suddenly asked, raising his head to properly see the elder's reaction.

"I..don't think so?"

Jeno's fist balled in frustration as he recall their earlier exchange, "Why did she say that?How can she just deny it?"

"Hey Jeno listen to me for a minute..", Mark called out to him, pupils wavering as he became reminded of what he wanted to tell the younger before, "Keep this a secret between just us and the twins for now alright? The bond's probably starting by now but.. Just don't let dad know about this, for now, Jeno", he added further, patting Jeno's back comfortingly.

"About what?"

Their focus quickly turned towards their father standing by his room's doorway few steps away, "Oh nothing dad..Just some.. usual things", Mark answered, flashing a reassuring smile to Jeno.

Unconvinced, he raised a brow at the reply and moved his eye from Mark to Jeno and back until his eyes noticed an odd change with Jeno.

"You're shivering, are you sick?"

I'm back to publishing :))
