Chapter 24: Stage 21

I loved you.

Once upon a time, a queen had given birth to twin babies. In this merry kingdom, they were praised to have such healthy well fed sons. They were served and had private tutors, almost never interacting with the outside world.

However when they turned 5, the elder twin loved going outside. Escaping and sneaking pass castle's security, the elder would portray as a street brat to gain interaction with the villagers.

That was how the elder twin developed his courage, his strength.

Meanwhile the other twin had stay at home, shut in his room with mountains of bookshelves filled with fairy tales and wonders. The twin had barely any interaction with the staff, and even then his brother would do most of the talking when they meet guests.

That was why the younger twin wasn't able to learn how to make friends. Learn how to speak out.

No, instead, he clung onto his older brother.

The older brother loved it.

The elder loved how he was being dependent on. It made him feel strong. It made him feel wanted. It made him feel needed.

In his eyes, he was the hero in the stories of his younger brother.

And after years have past, the younger still clung onto his older. The younger's love for his brother has not change.

Unfortunately, it could not be said the same for the elder.

For the elder's love have vanished.

It had turned to annoyance.

"Brother, mother wants us to go to Ms.Kim's tea party tomorrow. You won't leave me alone right?"

"Of course! Isn't that what we always do?"

You hiding behind me for the simplest things.

It used to be cute.

Now you are just annoying.

Father and mother wouldn't have to worry if you weren't here.

Everything would have been much simple.

My life would have been much more easier.

You bought nothing but misery.

It was near 2am in Hawaii as Jungkook had step out of his shared room and gave out a slight yawn. He scratched his head with one hand and the other on his belly under his white shirt, rubbing.

He wanted to get a glass of water but to get to the kitchen he had to pass by the living room, which was your bedroom. He walked down the low lit quiet hallway with soft steps, as to not make the wooden floorboard creak.

He had just pause for a short while when he arrived at the entrance to the living room. You were there laid on the couch with your body spread out and leg hanging off the cushions. The blanket you were using had long since been thrown onto the floor as you lightly snored your way into the night.

Jungkook shrugged at your appearance as he proceed to make his way towards the kitchen.

Never noticing the fact that your shirt was a little lifted up to show your boney waist.

Or perhaps he just ignored it?

Oh no, Kookie isn't like that. He will surely worry about you if he noticed....right?

He is your twin brother after all.

The older twin brother.
