Echoes Of Unspoken Connections

23. Family must stick together

After informing the Busan police and doing some other work, Namjoon went to stand in the balcony of his room to clear his mind.

Standing in the cool breeze and watching the night sky gives him some mental peace.

Since the start of all these incidents, Namjoon was constantly working, trying to find information on who was doing this and was having so many sleepless nights.

Right now, he was feeling too emotional. He was feeling angry at himself for being unable to protect his family, doubting his position in the department as he was not being able to catch a criminal. He and his team are trying to catch the criminal and his gang since two years but are not getting any kind of leads.

He suddenly burst into tears feeling overwhelmed. As he was crying, Hoseok entered his room. "Joonie" he uttered and entered the room slowly.

Hearing that, Namjoon wiped his tears before Hoseok could see them. "What are you doing here?" the elder twin asked gently. Namjoom sighed softly, "Just, isn't the moon looking beautiful?" he asked with a small smile and Hoseok hummed. Both of them just stood there without speaking any words for few minutes.

"You think you can hide things from me" Hobi asked. "I-I didn't hide anything Hoba" Namjoon said while looking away. "Joon-ah, I am your twin idiot. If you are sad, I will automatically be sad. Why do you think I came here? I suddenly felt a rush of sadness in me. You think I will be sitting quietly if my twin is crying?" Hoseok said with concern.

Hearing that, Namjoon burst into tears and looked down. "Yah, it's fine. I am there for you" Hoseok said pulled his twin into warm hug. "Let it out, I will listen to you" he said while patting Joon's back.

"I-I failed Hobi. I was unable to protect any of you. I kept your life in danger, it's my fault. I am sorry to all of you. I am doing everything but why the hell am I not able to catch him?" Namjoon said while crying.

Hoseok didn't say anything for a minute as he was trying to think the right words that would give encouragement to Joon.

"Joon-ah, you didn't fail, okay? You saved me, mom and uncle. You and your team are doing your best to find him. And you don't have to say sorry for anything, it's not your fault. I believe in you, you will definitely catch him and give him the punishment he deserves" Hoseok said while caressing his hair.

Few seconds later, Hoseok made Namjoon look at him. "Don't you dare cry again, alone. We are always here to listen to you. You are not alone, we are in this together. If anytime, you need help, even if it's to fight the bad guys, you can ask us anytime. I will kick their asses. That's what brothers are for, right" he said with a chuckle and wiped Namjoon's tears.

Namjoon nodded his head like a kid while his twin caressed his hear. "Aigoo, still a little kid" he cooed fondly. "Only for you, hyungs and eomma" Namjoon replied with a cute voice and Hoseok laughed at that.

"Come on, let's sleep" Hoseok said guided him to the bed. "I am not sleepy. I have to search some information" Namjoon said trying out to reach out for his laptop. Hoseok took away the laptop before Namjoon can get hold of it. "Shut up. Your eyes are red. I can see dark circles and eye bags around your eyes. You have to listen to Jin hyung's rap tomorrow if you don't care about your health. So, just sleep. I don't want to listen anything more" he said and pushed Namjoon on the bed.

"Sleep Joon-ah, I know you haven't been sleeping well lately" Hoseok said and covered with soft blanket. Namjoon smiled softly, "Okay hyung" he said with a chuckle making Hoseok laugh as well.

Before Hoseok knew it, Namjoon immediately slept and his snores filled the room. "And he says he isn't sleepy" Hoseok mumbled and left the room unable to listen to the loud snores of Namjoon.
