Chapter 2: I Hate Them

Taeyong's POV

"Are you listening to me, hyung?"

I was taken back to reality because of that question. "I'm sorry, I wasn't. What did you say again?" as I flashed an apologetic smile to my brother, Jeno.

I'm currently in my room studying when Jeno came here with a hint of irritation in his face.

"I said, mom and dad want us in dad's study room right now," he repeated.

"Why so?"

"They want to discuss about the deity hunting," he said as he rolled his eyes.

"Don't do that," I said.

"Do what hyung? I'm sick of what they want us to do. If I know that this will be my life, then I shouldn't have lived in the first place. Like seriously, what kind of parents who want their own children to kill someone to please them? Just because our enemies are human deities? Human deities or not, killing someone is forbidden," he ranted.

He must've been so full of all the expectations that was given to him as a child of the main branch of the family.

I sighed as I went beside him and tap his shoulder, "Don't worry I will come up a solution to solve this without bloodshed." I assured, though I still don't know where to start. "That's why stop ranting already."

"But can you blame me if I'm like this? It's their damn fault, but instead of taking the blame, they put the place on us and now, here." It's no surprise that Jeno hates are parents.

"I know, I also hate them but they're our parents, we have to respect them," I tried reminding him.

"Oh really? It seems I forget the fact that they're our parents." His counter literally silenced me internally.

But I have to stop him before someone's heard him, "Jeno, stop saying that things already will you—"

"And what hyung? Stay quiet again? You know I can't do that anymore because I had enough of them!"

"Look Jeno, I'm sorry okay?" I said apologized which made him looked at me in a confusing manner.

"Why are you apologizing hyung? It's not your fault anyway."

I shook my head, "No it's my fault. If only I didn't let you participate, if only I did the same thing Sunny noona did to Mark just for you not to meddle your affairs in the ongoing hunting and took all your current respo—"

"And let you suffer alone?" He cut me off. "I'm not gonna do that to my best brother in the world because I'm very worried about him. I can never leave him alone because he is very clumsy that even though I'm his younger brother, I feel like I'm the older one," he continued. "He was also the reason why I can restrain my mouth everytime our parents talk about his responsibilities that he doesn't want to fulfill but he is forced to because it's everyone's desire. He maybe clumsy but he is not a coward and he don't run away that's why I deeply respect him."

"I deeply respect him that's why I do all the things he wants me to do. If he wants me to restrain my mouth from speaking ill to our parents, even if I know it wouldn't be easy, I'll gladly do it because it's his plea."

Can't help but to get touch in what he said, he's always been a sweet child back then but was almost exposed to the bad side of the family, he started to change.

"Thanks bro. Your the best brother in the world." I thank because I'm not gonna lie how was touched by his speeck. "Now let's go, we better not make them wait for too long." he just give me an short smile. We made our way to my dad's study room.
