Luca and Ruka were rich twin college students who had given up on love because no one could tell them apart and they are often misunderstood. They find new hope when they save Shin, a gentle high school boy from jumping off a building. Drawn to his...
It was already nighttime when Shin finally finished his homework. He let out a long sigh feeling the tension in his shoulders and back from sitting for so long. The soft glow of the bedside lamp in the hospital room flickered slightly, casting gentle shadows on the walls. The room was quiet. The only noises that he could hear are the faint beeping of machines and the rhythmic sound of his mother’s breathing.
His mother lay on the hospital bed looking peaceful as she rested. Shin stood up slowly, trying not to make too much noise as he packed his things. He glanced at the clock and realized how late it was. The hospital always seemed quieter at night. It is almost like a different world compared to the busy rush of the day.
He put his bag over his shoulder and walked over to his mother’s bedside. "Mom, I’m heading home now," he said softly, not wanting to disturb her sleep.
His mother woke up at the sound of his voice, her eyes fluttering open just enough to see him. She smiled with warmth. "Take care, Shin. Don’t forget to tell the twins you’re leaving."
Shin smiled back, nodding. "I know, I will," he replied with a chuckle. "I’ll text them."
As his mother goes back to sleep, Shin quietly closes the door behind him. The hallway outside was dimly lit and the soft echo of his footsteps made the space feel even more deserted. He took out his phone and quickly sent a message to Ruka and Luca, the twins who always seemed to keep tabs on him even during their busiest days.

Shin couldn’t help but smile as he read their responses. The twins were always protective and they rarely let him leave without saying goodbye properly. Even though they see each other almost every day the twins always want to know what shin is doing.
Shaking his head with a small grin, Shin made his way down the long corridor toward the hospital’s reception area. His footsteps echoed as he walked and he couldn’t help but feel a little lighter knowing he was about to see Ruka and Luca. The twins were a constant source of comfort and humor in his life always teasing him but also looking out for him.
When Shin finally reached the reception area the twins were already waiting for him. They spotted him immediately and to his surprise both Ruka and Luca rushed over and hugged him tightly.
"Whoa, what’s this about?" Shin asked, feeling his arms awkwardly trapped between their bodies.
Ruka hugged him a little tighter before pulling back, a slight pout on his lips. "If you go home now we won’t see you until tomorrow," he said as if that were the worst thing in the world.
Shin couldn’t help but laugh at Ruka’s expression. "It’s just one night. You’ll be fine," he replied, feeling a warmth spread through him at their concern.
Ruka crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes, as if to emphasize his point. "Still."
Luca, who had been standing quietly beside his brother, smiled softly. "Should we just message mom and tell her that we can't go home today?" he said, his voice gentle.
