The Bet (SF9 DaBin) ~ Book 1

7 ✔️

"Hyung let's go home. I'm hungry" Youngkyun called as he saw his brother approaching, already leaning against his car.
"Sorry for being late. Our teacher wanted to talk to me" he apologized as he unlocked the car, hoping the younger wouldn't be nagging too much during the whole drive home.
"I think you should give me the car keys so I don't have to wait for you so long."
"So that you can access my car anytime you want? Definitely not" Youngbin replied as he drove off.
"Only 2 years left" the younger sighed as he leaned his head against the window, watching the buildings pass by. He thought about this day and honestly he was quite content.
"Hyung be careful" he suddenly said, remembering what Chanhee told him.
"What do you mean?"
"Chanhee warned me about Sanghyuk. Just be careful" Youngkyun replied and the older immediately remembered what their homeroom teacher told him but he just shrugged it off.
"He's pretty nice. Also I'm always careful"
"Yeah that's exactly the reason why we had to transfer to another school" Youngkyun deadpanned, feeling like he crossed a line as soon as he said it.
"You should definitely think more before you say something."
"I'm sorry hyung, I didn't mean to" the younger immediately apologized but he knew he shouldn't have said that, he knew that he made a mistake and he hated the suffocating atmosphere he created.
They didn't say one word after that conversation, Youngkyun immediately escaping the car as soon as it wasn't moving anymore, sprinting up to their apartment without waiting for his older brother. He did feel bad for his behavior, he never really fought with his brother as they were always very close and he certainly didn't know why he started the argument today. The only thing he knew was that he shouldn't act like this as a younger brother.
"Youngkyun-ah how was school?" his mother asked as soon as she spotted her youngest son, surprised when she saw him passing by without another word.
"Did something happen?"
"I don't know. He was sensitive the whole drive home" Youngbin replied as he closed the door, trying to forget about the younger's comment.
"So how was your day?"
"It was alright, nothing special happened."
"Are your classmates alright?"
"They are pretty nice. Three of them already included me into their group of friends" he replied, relieved when a smile appeared on his mother's face.
"I'm glad then. Are you hungry?" she replied but he only shook his head as he was leaving for his bedroom.
"Thanks eomma I'm fine. I'll see you tomorrow" Youngbin said, noticing how his mother only shook her head with a small smile.
He still felt hurt by his brother's comment, hating to be reminded of his mistakes from the past who not only bothered him but also his whole family. He remembered the day when his father left because he was too disappointed in him, remembered his mother's crying and suffering after he left and Youngkyun's negative allegations. He was falling deeper into his own negative thoughts until his phone rang, signaling a new message.
~Hey hope you didn't forget me. It's Sanghyuk
•Of course not, you think I'm playing around?
~Never. Anyways what are you doing?
•Not much why?
~I'm bored and I thought maybe you'd want to come over.
•Now? It's already close to midnight.
~Please? I really don't know what to do and I want to get to know you better ^~^
•Fine send me your adress.

He already knew that this wasn't his best idea but he somehow couldn't say no, didn't want to say no when he thought about it. If he was honest he was bored too, having nothing to do and falling deeper into his depressive thoughts. He just wanted to have fun and forget about everything even if he may regret it later. Silently he packed a few things and left his room along with a note stating that they shouldn't worry about him. After making sure his mother and Youngkyun were asleep he grabbed his car keys and left the house as silently as possible, quickly entering Sanghyuk's address into his navigation system before driving off.

So this is even shorter than the other chapters 🤭 Honestly I'm already bored because of quarantine and I don't have anything else to do except writing until dawn.
