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

JUNGHWAN

"It's a wrap!"

The director of the commercial we are filming finally wrapped up the shoot. It was an eventful 3 days. My female counterpart was a Junior idol Rora, also from YG so it was comfortable enough since knew each other well and somewhat considered close.

"Oppa, when are you going back to Seoul?"

"Maybe tonight. I need to be in Seoul asap. Got to catch up something." I quickly packed my things and ignore Manager hyung's incessant questions why the sudden change of schedule. I'll explain it to him later in the car-

"Oppa, can I hitch a ride with you to Seoul? My manager had an emergency earlier and she asked me to ask you if I could hitch a ride. I don't want to spend the night here alone without manager eonnie. The company van is also full of equipments and my clothes, they're leaving for Seoul too. Just drop me off at our dorm if it's ok with you?" Rora somewhat reluctant but obviously has no choice with her present predicament.

"No problem, you can ride with us. No biggie" manager hyung didn't push his questioning earlier since Rora needed the ride too.

It's quit a long ride to Seoul, 2 hours at most. It's almost 10 PM when we left the set. I received Dobby's text 2 hours ago when he reached my place.

"Oppa, you're friends with Doyoung Oppa right?" Rora suddenly asked me out of the blue.

"Deh, we're close. Wae? Do you need anything from him? He's at my place right now." Too late to realize I blurted out Dobby staying at my place and that earned a questioning look from Manager hyung. I just pretended to act cool and maintain my focus on the road.

"Sincha? Ani, it's nothing really. I was just curious that's all. I used to see you two together all the time at the company during my trainee days. You frequently hangout at the gym and the pingpong room" she shyly said.

"Ooohh, someone's having a crush on Doyoung Oppa!" I teased her.

"Yaah Oppa! You're such a bully! I just find you both interesting especially your friendship. I always wanted to have close older brothers since I only have a dongsaeng."

"Plus, honestly I wanted to approach you both before cause I wanted to join when you play pingpong."

"Sincha? You play pingpong?" I was amazed to know she's into sports too. Rora is easy to get along with. She's no diva in the set and very professional but she's also playful behind the scenes.

She has no qualms or demands even when the schedule gets hectic or the weather isn't favorable, she easily adapt to the flow of events. And she loves to eat too. She knows Sowon too. They played sisters in our series last year.

She can be that baby sister I wish to have but never had. I kind of like the idea of bringing her to hang out with Doyoung and I so that bunny won't be so down anymore.

He may not have opened up in details but I could sensed the tension he's been going through at home. Well, since our families are close knit, I kind of knew the pressure his parents are putting on him.

Most of my hyungs are actually in a similar dilemma. Jae hyung was expected to be the next in line of his dad's business, which means an heir is needed for him to continue their family's legacy. Same with Hyunsuk hyung. Well, Hyunsuk already had his heir with Ryujin noona, but they didn't have plans to get married since their relationship was quite complicated. Not to mention Jihoon Hyung is in between them.

Jae and Sahi hyungs' relationship will also be tested after the D-day. Sahi hyung will focus now in Japan and Jae hyung, I guess will start his training with his Dad.

Yedam hyung finalized his decision during our last meeting that he planned to pursue his solo artist career with his Parent's own label. Mashi hyung also decided to settle in Japan. Whatever his future plans are, it's unknown to us as he was also uncertain himself.

Yoshi hyung will also work with YGEX Japan together with Sahi hyung as they were offered to be Senior producers for the new gen groups the company are training for.

For me, unlike my hyungs, I'm blessed to have parents that fully supported me whatever career I decided for myself. So far, my modeling and acting gigs are quite spontaneous, I decided to re- sign my exclusive contract with YG Stage and YGK plus. Sasangnim also offered me to teach in YG Academy during my breaks or spare time. And I decided to buy some shares to in the Academy with my savings from my 7 years earning as Treasure.

Rora fell asleep the rest of the ride. I only woke her up when we reached their dorm.

When I reached my place, I found Dobby sleeping on the couch with the TV still playing. I went straight to my room to change and freshen up before I joined him in the living room.

He's such a heavy sleeper that even when I sat there lifting his head on my lap for 10 minutes, the rabbit didn't even budge. I gently massaged his eyebrows with my thumb when I noticed it was scrunching as if he was displeased with something in his dreams.

My thumb slide down to his side cheeks, gently feeling his smooth skin from my slightly rough thumb.

"Mmmmm......." He started to stir with my touch. "Mmm... that tickles Hwan-a," his voice seems hoarse but it sounded so sexy to me, it's like half moaning instead of whining.

'Fuck! What the hell were you thinking?' I mentally scolded myself for the sudden unexpected weird thoughts.

'This is Dobby you fool! Your best friend! Are you too sexually frustrated to be turned on by your own guy friend? Do you even swing that way?'

The internal mantra turned internal battle of questions crashing down on me like a flash flood!

'Do I? A-am I?'

I haven't really consider entertaining that possibility ever since I have been aware of my other Hyungs coupling. Dobby was the closest member to me ever since we debut apart from Jeongwoo hyung of course. But since Jeongwoo hyung hang out mostly with 0104, Dobby became my constant. That until Jeongwoo hyung and Dobby got together.

Even during Mashi hyung and Dobby's relationship, we were still inseparable since most projects and guestings that time were mostly us 2 getting invited since we were known to have the same interests and hobbies which was shown in our groups Youtube contents.

Plus we worked in a big project together which lasted a couple of months, with the travel to different locations during shoots but also the international promotions we did bonded us more. And when he broke up with Mashi, I was with him until he started the complicated relationship with Jeongwoo just after he part ways with Mashi. It was not until a few more months after that both revealed they were officially together to the group.

I stopped touching his face when I thought he was about to wake up but the rabbit went back to his dreamland.

"Dobby-a....." I softly whispered.

"You need a proper bed to sleep properly, unless you want your legs to suffer tomorrow."

"Mmmmm...." The only response I got. So I gave up and just decided to carry him to his room.

I was about to leave after tucking him up when I felt his hand on my finger.

"Cuddle plsss..." tugging my finger for me to drop back to bed.
