The two brothers were still sitting on the bed, waiting for their leader to return. It had already been an hour since they had seen their friends drive away with their sister. "Hyung, it's killing me! It's been an hour since they took her away!"
When the door finally opened, both brothers jumped to their feet, staring at it expectantly. "I've thought about it," the leader began, crossing his arms and fixing the brothers with a stern look.
"Hyung, wh-" "Quiet, Sungchan!" the leader snapped. Sungchan swallowed hard and stepped back nervously.
"First things first... I let your sister go. Lucas and Johnny are escorting her home right now." the younger one let out a shaky sigh of relief.
"Now, about you two... I had to think. Long and hard, about what to do with you. Even though.... I can somewhat understand that you only wanted to protect your sister, you still abused my trust." his eyes locked firmly on theirs.
"You didn't just take advantage of my trust- you crushed it as if it meant nothing! Not only mine, but also the trust of the others. You risked the safety of us all" the boys looked down, listening to the scolding of their leader, who paused for a while.
He sighed. "I saw... how important your sister is for you. But.... in all honesty... the fact that you lied to me about it..." The leader scoffed. "You guys still could have come to me. And tell me about her."
"But you would have-" "I AM NOt done talking." He interrupted Jaehyun loudly but got quiet again, when he interrupted himself, listening to what his leader would say.
"Do you even understand what you have done? Every single one of us depends on loyalty. On honesty. And you- both of you- lied straight into my face from the beginning. Do you know what that means out there, in the field? Lies get people killed. Lies break families apart. And you dared to gamble with all of us." He looked at the brothers with a stern and disappointed look.
"I would have been fine, if you would have told me about her. It didn't had to be one of the members. I would have been fine to keep her out of that fucking mess! But you were not honest with me, instead you just lied to me. You took advantage of my trust.. of our relationship... especially you, Jaehyun! After all these years!"
The brothers hung their heads low. "I have quietly accepted it, when we found out that Sungchan is your brother and didn't knew about him all these years.... but I really thought that would be the end of secrets! I said I was disappointed in you for not telling me this... I even asked you if there was more that I should know about! I believed you, when you declined and because of that I didn't even asked Sungchan either, because I trusted you!"
Jaehyun gasped to answer, but got interrupted before. "DON'T! You dare to say anything before I am done!" He threatened. Jaehyun looked down again, guilty. "I have told you back then, that I give you one more chance... and that I won't just let it slide like this, if you do that again..." Jaehyun nodded subdued.
"Sungchan, I understand that you didn't told me about her the day you joined... but what disappointed me, is that you never thought about clearing this after! After everything I have done for you!" "I'm sorry, hyung..." the boy said. The leader bit his lip, madly, trying to get a grip of himself to not yell at him for interrupting him. He sighed deeply.
"You two really disappointed me... I can't trust you anymore..." Sungchan looked down, while Jaehyuns head shot up at his leader and best friend.
"But still... I can't deny that we are family." He started again, making the head of Sungchan shot up too, both looking at him surprised.
"But I can't find a reason to trust you at the moment, so I thought long about what to do. Sungchan." He looked him in the eyes, while Jaehyun looked down again.
