Your Blood. [ DISCONTINUED ]

The meeting.

After hearing the sounds of metal hitting glass , Sanghyuk immediately got up and walk out of his room.

Hakyeon is home.

"Sanghyuk!" Hakyeon cheerfully greeted , pulling the said boy closer for a hug. Although Sanghyuk made a disgusted face as he was hugged , he still wrapped his arms tightly around Hakyeon.

He missed him.

"Hyung." Sanghyuk quietly called out , still hugging him tightly. Hakyeon hummed in response , playing with Sanghyuk's brown locks as he waited for him to continue.

"You smell like blood." Sanghyuk whispered , further muffling the words by snuggling into Hakyeon's chest.  But Hakyeon heard them loud and clear.

He gently push the younger away from him , looking straight into his eyes as he hold Sanghyuk's shoulders firmly.

"This mission-" Hakyeon hesitated as he look away for a moment but regain his composure.

"This assignment I received , its a bit tougher than the rest. I will be coming home later than usual and will be smelling like." He stopped his sentence , unsure of the correct word to use but finally settled for murder.

"I will be smelling like murder.  But don't worry , I will be alright and is ending soon." He finished with a small smile , ruffling Sanghyuk's hair. 

All the while , Sanghyuk have been listening closely , biting his lower lip every now and then. Afterall , he do vaguely know what Hakyeon is working as although the older dislikes talking about it in front of him.

Hence , for Hakyeon to explicitly mention it , reassure him that he will be alright , Sanghyuk felt even more uneasy. Something is not right.

"Hyung." Sanghyuk's voice is soft but powerful. Hakyeon could feel himself twitch. "I know...." He begin strong but trailed off again , not knowing how to phrase his thoughts into words.

However , Hakyeon was patient with him , waiting for him to continue. Finally Sanghyuk gather his thoughts and took a deep breath.

"I know you don't like to mention this kind of things to me so...for you to do so , is must be very important. And dangerous. " Sanghyuk made sure to emphasize the word dangerous as he slightly glare at his brother. 

"I know you won't want me to worry let alone help you with this- so I only have one request. Promise me you will come back unharmed and well. You are all I have left..."  Sanghyuk trailed off the last words , biting his lower lip again as his eyes focused on the floor , unable to look at Hakyeon.

"I promise." The reply was music to Sanghyuk's ears as the younger quickly grabbed hold of Hakyeon's hand ,entwining their pinky together.

 Hakyeon chuckled softly and smile at his  younger brother's action. How endearing.

But he was snapped out of thoughts as Sanghyuk forcefully pulled him into his bedroom , pushing him onto bed.

"Now sleep okay? You have a morning shift tomorrow. You don't want to look like a ghost right. " A playful grin was spread across Sanghyuk's lips , the innocent him long gone. 

Grinning along , Hakyeon replied dramatically. " I wonder who's the older brother sometimes , you are so mean to me!" He faked a sob , wiping away his non-existent tears.

Sanghyuk only rolled his eyes and mumbled a good night , closing the door to Hakyeon's room as he disappeared into his own.
