Best Hyung?

~ At the Cale Hyung Meeting ~

"As we're all aware," Lee Soo Hyuk's shattered soul spoke. He wasn't quite Sui Khan, and he wasn't quite the Lee Soo Hyuk Cale remembered. The shards of his souls were left after Sui Khan now, the memories of everyone around him. "We're here to figure out who is Cale's favourite."

"It seems like we're the only ones who are actual contestants." A dark hooded figure said from the corner. Choi Jung Soo. Despite his busy schedule — as what Cale would call being the GoD's bitch — he was always at every hyung meeting. As the only one associated with the God of Death, he was the only one able to touch Lee Soo Hyuk.  He wrapped his arm around him.

"Then we already know who it is, don't we dongsaeng?" Lee Soo Hyuk muttered under his breath to Choi Jung Soo. He felt the muscles in the arm around his shoulder, tighten. The glare his brother gave him was adorable, but he deserved to be put in his place.

"Ha, as if! You might not even be older than him! You were born on the same day." Taylor raised an eyebrow at the man after a quick debrief on who the fuck he was. 

"I'm competition! I'm your biggest competition!" Alberu argued at the same time. "He trusts me with his past! He hangs out with me! He actually calls me Hyung!!" His wounded pout was evident on his face. For a moment, Lee Soo Hyuk hesitated. Was he really antagonising a boy he saw as his little brother.

"You're that desperate for approval?" Eric turned to Alberu with a unimpressed look. "You're bragging to the enemy." He put his hands on his hips. 

"We all know that he only hangs out with you since you're rich and reek of loneliness. Come on, we're all allies here, lets not exaggerate."

"We're not allies. Aren't you the worst hyung anyways?" Alberu grumbled to Taylor. "He doesn't even call you hyung, or acknowledge you as one, so why are you even here? You have two meaningful moments with him. You're as much as a hyung as Fredo is his father." Alberu spat out. 

"I mean, I might not be acknowledged as Cale's hyung, but I'm better than Eric at least!" Taylor huffed. "So I can't be the worst hyung!" 

"Excuse you?" 'Bitch.'  Eric looked at him with the most offended look with the fakest smile.

"At least I had more than one scene with Cale. I wasn't just the nervous wreck. We had charisma." Taylor shrugged. 

"That's true. You're more of Kim Rok Soo's hyung." Alberu pointed over at him, who was only just waking up from his nap. "But you don't even have scenes with him."

"What do you have? Alberu's the obnoxious twinning one, Lee Soo Hyuk's the paternal brother, Choi Jung Soo's the annoying little shit, Taylor's the fun criminal one, Kim Rok Soo's his healing one."

"And Beacrox is the one who actually takes care of him." Kim Rok Soo piped up, unaware what was going on. He waved at Beacrox who was making cookies for the meeting in the corner. Beacrox looked around before giving him a small wave back.

"Your whole character's kind of irrelevant actually. I don't think Cale even remembers you."

"You serve no purpose." Beacrox flinched in the corner. Bit tough, isn't it? He was glad he wasn't in on it.

"I guess we're kind of better than you in every way, right?"

"There's no reason for you to be here."

"Whatever you can do, we've done better."

"Harsh." Kim Rok Soo raised his hands up. What did Eric even do? He looked over at Beacrox who was bringing cookies over. He nodded a thanks before chewing the soft warm cookie.

Eric kept his smile on his face as he took all the insults in. Every jab and every annoyance was absorbed. His anger was veiled underneath his skin. He took out his magic communication device with an elegance. It was glowing. 

He answered the call and held the communication device up. His smile grew.

"Hi Mom. Hi Aunt Violan."

Immediately, the entire hyung meeting flew back and slammed into the walls. Cookies fell to the ground. Teacups shatter and tea spilled. The sheer force of those five words had almost killed them. Eric had won. It was undeniable. 

Beacrox groaned as he fell from the wall. He lost all his hp. He didn't even say anything.
