7- HOW IT BEGAN

enjoy~

He came with three bowls of Ramyon for me as he got two for himself. I was hungry, and so was he, but he knows I eat a lot. We ate in silence, only listening to the mess and noise around us. I sat back as I finished my bowls and finally looked up at Yeonjun to find him already staring at me. "What?" he was thinking... cute. "Oh, sorry... I was just... thinking..."

"about?" Of course I was curious. I was born curious.

"Well, about what you just told me earlier. And, how, I will be able to help you, and stuff." I frowned. "What?!" he asked, seeing my furrowed eyebrows. "I never told you about me so that you could help me. I just didn't want to lie to you and wanted you to know the real me, and my current situation. That's it. Don't worry about it." I said as he smiled and replied "Who said you asked me to help you. I am willing to help you, and I have just figured out how to help you."

I was about to say something when he got up to go to the counter back to the serving lady and he paid—He wants to pay for me! Well, that's not good... I thought. "H-Hey! Wait! Lemme pay, wait!" I stumbled as I went there to the lady, but she had already gone and Yeonjun dragged me towards the canteen back to our hallways of our classrooms making me pout at that.

"C'mon, we just skipped a class." He said as the sudden realization hit me. "We Skipped Class?!"

We were now going out of School gate as Yeonjun and I were talking. "So, can you come over to my place?" he asked me, as I was about to say 'why not' but then I remembered. "Actually, I can't... I need to take Donghyun home with me, and feed the little ones too. They might be hungry as I doubt my mom would have done that already. I even need to spend a lot of time with my twin who I discovered to be a very nice person actually." He just chuckled and we bid goodbyes as he left for his home.

Donghyun was out just after a bit. We went towards our house, but we had to go through the main door. We opened the door slowly to not make any noise. We then opened Mun and Min's door, to check on them. "Hey!" I whisper-screamed to the two who were playing silently with their cars. "Hyung!!!!!!" Mun shouted happily and came towards me hugging me tightly. "Shh... we don't want mom to wake up, do we? You want to have ice-cream? We have some ice-cream in our fridge so we will get it for you, but you have to stay silent. What did you guys have for lunch?" I asked them, trying to make them feel good. I had missed them... though it was just a few hours.

They both glanced at each other and looked down, a tear falling from Mun's cheek. "Hey, what's up? What happened? Did mom do something?" I asked them with concern. Making Mun look at me. He looked up at me with a sad smile plastered on his face. "M-Mom didn't give us any lunch... we had the chocolate bars left in the fridge, so we ate them as we didn't know how to take and what to eat either..." my grip on his shirt only grew as I tried not to get pissed and do something stupid. Like attacking mom. I looked down thinking and suddenly stood up making everyone in the room flinch. "Mom's gonna pay for this!" I aside and was about to storm out the door when Donghyun held me "Donghyuck, no. we are not doing anything to mom, or you know, we all will starve to death as well as her." Well, she had a point. I sighed heavily and sat back down. "You both must be hungry right? I'll get you two something delicious to eat, okay? You'll just have to wait for some hours, that's it, because..." I trailed off as Donghyun said "... that's the least we can do...", we all sat there silently as Mun sat in my lap and Min sat in Donghyun.

We all startled as Mom shouted from the hall. "Come Here You Two! What Did You Eat Throughout the Day?! You Need to Eat Something!" I scoffed at that "hmph." Mun clung onto me. "Shh... it's okay." I tried to calm him down as I glanced at Donghyun who was now fiddling with her fingers. "You're nervous?" I asked her as I had the same habit. "Y-Yeah... you do that too?" she asked me looking at what she was doing with her fingers. "Twins, that we are!" I said and she chuckled as a reply. I slowly got up and creaked open the door a little bit, when the noise of vessels was heard even louder signalling that mom was making something for the two.
