"Bro! You are here again!" The twins cousin exclaimed, hugging him tightly. "We were worried something happend to you. Mom was about to call the police to look for you!" He explained.
"Woah, no need to! I am here. I am healthy, I am fine! No need to call the police!" He answered laughing. "I told her the same, bro! Sometimes I needed to steal the phone from her hand. The police would have said that it is common anyways, disappearing for a few days in our age!"
Sungchan only nodded. "My babies! Do you want me to have a heart attack because you disappeared?!" Their aunt asked, tears in her eyes. "Of course not, auntie!" The twins answered in sync.
Sungchan looked at her with a blank expression, blinking confused, while she looked at him shocked. She was worried, he would ask why she answered too and forcing her to explain to him. She hoped that they would not find out.
"Come on, kids! Let's eat!" Their aunt said, pushing them to the kitchen, still crying, while Felix tries to calm his mother down, stopping her to cry.
Their aunt taking another plate for Sungchan and filling it with soup and giving him a spoon to eat.
"Yo, Sungchan!" His cousin asked. "Mhhm?" He answered, while putting the spoon in his mouth.
"Where were you by the way? You not even went to school these past days, Jeongin said?" He stopped in his action. "Well.... I-I was with my friends." He stated.
"YOU SKIPPED SCHOOL TO BE WITH FRIENDS?!" His aunt yelled, making the kids cover their ears. "YOU LITTLE-! DID I NEVER TOLD YOU, THAT-" "Auntie, Auntie! AUNTIE! Listen to me!" He smiled.
"I didn't skipped school." He chuckled. "Then why were you not there? I was worried!" The girl pouted. "I was simply not feeling well. I was feeling dizzy the whole time. I had a feeling the world would spin around me. So my friend said I should stay at his house and rest. He took care of me the whole time."
His twin raised her brow. "And why you never called or wrote to at least inform us?" Their aunt asked. "I-I.... I guess.... I.... forgot?" He answered, sounding more like a question than like an answer.
"You... forgot." She said, crossing her arms. "Awww, is my sister jealous I might had some fun without you?" He teased. She simply said, laying the spoon next to her plate and standing up.
"I am not hungry anymore." She said, then left the kitchen to go to her room. She felt her brother following her, after she heard a spoon falling down on the table short after.
She crashed her door close and lay on her bed, back facing the wall. Not long after, the door opened again.
"Soul." Her brother said. She didn't answered, which made him enter the room, closing the door and sitting on her bed making it go down due to his weight.
She only hugged the teddy bear, her oldest brother gifted her when she was released from the hospital back then.
"Soul, what is wrong? Why are you upset now?" He asked. She thought for a moment what and how to say, without mentioning what happend today. Even tho, she was disappointed, she still didn't want them being in danger. They are her family.
"Soul." He said again. "YOU FORGOT?!" The girl exploded, her voice hurt and broken, showing her brother clearly she was sad and crying. He flinched, she knows that, since he didn't expected her to react that way.
"Wh-" "How can you forget to write! How can you forget to tell us that you are okay, tell ME you are okay?!" She turned around, exposing her crying face to him. His eyes soften.
"Soul, I-" "You what?! You wanna become like Jaehyun?! You also leaving and never talk to us again?! You leaving me behind too? You are the only one left for me from our family and you want to leave me too, like everyone else?! Then go! There! There is the door! You forgot about me, and I dumbass was foolish enough to be worried about you!" she yelled. "I wish I would not had made it home today but got killed..." she only mumbled to herself, thinking he didn't heard her.
"I am not leaving you behind, Yaya! I would never. And hyung is also not leaving you behind. Maybe he is just.... too busy? But I am sure he will contact us again, when he can. I am sure, he is thinking about us everyday, watching over us and protecting us, just in his own way." He said, pulling her into a hug.
"I am sorry, Soul, that you had that feeling. I didn't mean it like that. I love you, I never would leave you! I will always be there for you and protect you" he whispers to her, kissing her head while caressing her hair. She burried her head in his chest, silently crying.
It hurts her, thinking about her oldest brother. She loves him, and he was always there for her. When she needed him, he hugged her, calmed her in the most precious way, not even her twin brother was able to do. She felt more save around him. She talked to him about everything. He was more than her oldest brother. He was her protector, her saviour.
But after he left, she was more than sad. But the fact that he never called, text or visited, actually broke her. He just broke up any lines and ways to contact him within seconds. She felt like falling and loosing her hold. She felt betrayed. He just left them alone, suffering on her own. She always hoped, he would come back, but he never did.
Their aunt started to think, that something bad happend to him, like with her brother, the kids father. That he might died or was laying in a hospital, maybe forgot who he was. She still was calling every hospital, asking for someone that looked like him or even had his name.
Until now, nothing, which also made the girls hope fade away, that he will come back to them again, only leaving Sungchan and her being on their own. Well... not completly, but from their parents and them.... it was only her brother and her. She couldn't bare it, loosing him too.
"He is an Idiot! I hate him!" She cursed, crying. She often cried because of her older brother in the night and cursing, which usually made her calm down a bit, but so far, she never did that in front of someone else, except her best friends, Daehwi and Bic.
She didn't wanted to do that in the presence of her family and especially not in the presence of her twin, who always was on his side, protecting him, coming up with excuses.
She felt Sungchan tense a bit. "He just left us like that! He... he didn't wanted us anymore!" She cried, grabbing his shirt tighter. He didn't said anything, only caressing her back, calming her down, until she fell asleep.
