End Game: My Brother, My Friend.... My Lover?

DOYOUNG

             "Ok lovebirds, how about we check our own unit first huh?" Junghwan broke the ice after Hyunsuk and Ruto left leaving the room in awkward silence. So much for a happy reunion.

             " Bro I think I need to skip and leave the decision to you two, I trust you two whatever you think is necessary for us.  Among the rest, I'm glad I'm living with you two, my favorite dongsaeng and of course.." Woo grabbed me suddenly for a quick peck. "My boss baby" the audacity of the wolf to tease me in front of Junghwan and the nerve of him to just wink and smirk at me!

           "Ouch! babe!" I pinched his waist enough for him to winced a little but of course what do you expect from the Actor Jeongwoo, overacting is his middle name.

            "A little respect for the single please you two!" Jungwhan complained chuckling.  "I swear to God I'll die of diabetes if I live together with you. Have mercy on the girls who haven't had the taste of my handsomeness!" The dramatic actor #2 in action.

            "And correction Jeongwoo hyung, I am your only dongsaeng as if you have a choice in favorites." he added laughing.

            "Yah! bro, I'm offended. You mean you don't find me sincere?! Babe!" He is now facing me, "Junghwan doesn't love me anymore! After all the sacrifices and efforts I did in raising him?!" feigning to cry using his signature Jeongwoo crying meme is enough to burst the moment.

          We were laughing so hard when I felt Junghwan looked at me and signaling  for both of us to escape the drama and leave Woo from dorm 1. We then hurriedly went to dorm 4 where we are assigned to stay.

         Jeongwoo upon realizing he got no reaction from his mantra, he quickly run after us to the other dorm still noisily complaining of our so called betrayal.

           "I want the farthest room next to the service bathroom for guest, chebal. You two take the adjacent rooms on the other side so I will have a hallway distance from both of you. I need space and distance from your night shift exercises please for my peace and sanity. I need enough sleep so spare me torture from you." He complained.

I know he was just teasing us but I couldn't help but blushed out of embarrassment from what he said. I looked away from his teasing eyes. I suddenly felt nervous when i got a quick glance of his teasing smile. I scolded myself why i felt shy by Junghwan's words, as if I had this urge to deny whatever ideas about me and Woo in his mind, when I highly doubt he didn't know that Woo and I are together base on his mantra earlier.

I don't know what got into me but I find myself getting awkward with Junghwan these days. I couldn't pin point when it started but his presence is getting more and more visible in my line of sight especially that the brat is getting more and more buff with his muscles bulging in all the dangerous places and... veiny and... hard and .... Fuck! Get a grip Kim Doyoung! You horny rabbit! You have Woo and Junghwan is straight... is he?

I tried to recall any signs of him being attracted to boys or me or with other members, but I couldn't see any. Though he is for sure super clingy and sweet to most of the hyungs but as I can observe its more like a real little brother. Well its true that was a long time ago since all I can see of him now, I guess when he started his acting career, is a dangerous Junghwan. He might be clingy sometimes to the hyungs but its more of leaning when he's sitting beside them or lying down on their laps when had breaks during rehearsals.

Junghwan used to treat me the same before. But it was eons ago honestly, it was only those times when he's still shorter than me. The time he grew taller and bigger, he admitted he doesn't feel like I'm his hyung but vice versa.

At first I wanted to correct him and complain why, when I am in fact 2 years older than him. He even treated Ruto and Woo still as real big brothers who is just months older than him. The disrespect!

But everytime we are together, especially during those time when we first experienced frequent tours around the world, almost every country and city, we are roomed together most of the time.

Since I love teasing him with my pick up lines, we always ended up bickering and him blocking my advances verbally but.... He never tried to shut me up or shy away. In fact he is fighting back by being touchy, and I love pushing his buttons more by using my sultry voice which for the love of God made me see a quick view of a blushing Junghwan. And that gave me more confidence to tease him.

With him treating more like a friend than a hyung or even sometimes him acting as a hyung became my happy pill. Oh, I miss those days. Time is really our enemy and change is inevitable, we have no control and of the future.

To escape from getting notice of my silence and self introspection , I hurriedly open the room across his and pretend to scan the space for some ideas.

"Guys I really need to go ahead. Our rehearsal time was pushed forward. Dobby-ya can you go home by yourself?" He held my hand and look at Junghwan next.

"Bro, can u give dobby a lift home please? You said you're on a break this week right?" asking Junghwan as if I'm his son looking for someone to drive me home. 'Duh! I'm older than both of you!'

Rolling my eyes on the absurdity of the situation, "Jeongwoo, in case you forgot I am older than you both and I'm not a child for God's sake!" I whined loudly.

"Well you do look like one!" Chuckling while ready to run in case I will hit him.

Whatever. Its pointless to argue with him and just glare at the brat who couldn't stop smiling enjoying his agenda.

"Don't worry Jeongwoo hyung I'll send baby dobby home safe and sound!" And he burst out laughing harder than before.

'Inhale... exhale.... Inhale... exhale!' Was my mantra to prevent myself from exploding. Glaring at him harder, I slammed the door and walked out of the dorm ahead of them pretending to get mad and ignore them both.

"Hyung wait up!" He abruptly stopped laughing and run after me outside.
