Tears

"Woah, woah, what happened?" Mark asked worriedly when his brother walked through the front door completely silent. He reached out and held Johnny's upper arm, twisting him so he could look into his eyes. "Are you crying?"

Johnny shook his head and wiped his eyes on his forearm. "Of course I'm not,"  he mumbled with a sniff. Mark's eyes creased. "Nothing happened."

"Okay," Mark replied with a nod. He gave him some room and made a note to check up on him later, since it didn't really seem like he wanted to talk at all. Johnny calmly removed his shoes and tucked them neatly into the shoe rack before gently padding his way into his bedroom.

Johnny didn't come out for another hour, and only after he heard the older go onto his laptop did he knock on the door. "Johnny?" He called calmly.

"Come on in," he said. Mark pushed open the door and saw Johnny in his pyjamas - grey sweats and a white T-shirt - laying down on his front with his laptop on the bed. He narrowed his brows. "Since when did you knock?"

Mark gave a small smile and sat himself on the bed. "Since you came home in tears," he answered, and suddenly the older was all quiet again. "What happened?"

Johnny breathed slowly and closed his laptop. "Have... Have you ever had someone cheat on you?"

"I haven't. Did you find Taeil with someone else?" Mark said carefully, cautious not too ask too much or go too far.

Johnny chewed at his lip. "Here's the thing; I don't know. I mean, yes, I did. With Doyoung, that stupid man with a prettier smile than me," he said bitterly. "But I don't know if I have, I don't know, the right to be angry?"

Mark could clearly see where the problem lay, but he didn't know how to deal with it. He sneaked his hand into his pocket and pulled out his phone, subtly typing in his boyfriend's phone number and pressing call.

Johnny just massaged him temples and pressed into his eyes if he ever felt the need to cry for some reason.

"Hello?"

Johnny's eyes shot open. "No!"

"Woah! What have I done?" Haechan laughed through the phone. "Do you really hate my advice that much?"

Johnny glared at Mark, who in turn was just sitting quietly and listening to his boyfriend's sweet voice. Johnny groaned. "I hate it because you're always right!"

Mark shrugged. "He's just good like that."

"Aw, thank you~" Haechan cooed, and Johnny wanted to hang up right then. "Anyway, what's the problem?"

Reluctantly, the oldest said, "You know I like Taeil? I went to his house to apologise for something I did wrong, but I found him with another man."

Haechan hissed through his teeth. "Ooh, that's harsh. What did you do?"

Johnny pursed his lips. "Install Tinder..."

"Eh?"

"I installed Tinder and made an account!" Johnny said louder.

If Haechan was with them at that moment, the brothers knew Johnny would have been punched. "Why?! And he found the account?"

"Yep. The man that... was with him probably told him," Mark nodded at his own conclusion.

Johnny's jaw dropped. "What a snake!" It was clear now. Johnny stupidly made the account, Doyoung found it somehow, and then he used it to his advantage and told Taeil so he could get close to him. Johnny narrowed his eyes. "He did it on purpose."

He could pretty much hear Haechan shrug down the line. "Straight up ask Taeil. Ask him what's going on between them and then we'll go from there."
