Dongwook was really focus with his work at his office. The whole week had been really busy to him and he had another 15 minutes for a meeting with Jang Cooperation. After Jihoon birthday last week, he never sees the boy out from his room. ‘He must really upset’ He even can’t think straight when Jihoon ask something like that. He wouldn’t let Jihoon out from that house again.

The last time the boy was out was the day their parents die. He still remember everything happen on that day. His parents die at the car crash, and yes, Jihoon was there too. Blood was flowing out from Jihoon head and he was unconscious for 4 months. He woke up not really remembering anything happen on that day and they really can’t comfort Jihoon at that time because of his Haphephobia. It’s really took time for he and his brothers to communicate or even hug Jihoon.

The doctor said Haphephobia might be had because of something happen from what happen on that day. He can’t even th-

“Sir?”

“Huh???” Dongwook look up and he see his secretary, Ms. Doyeon.

“I’m sorry to interrupt you but you have a meeting less than 5 minutes right now”

“Oh I’m sorry”

“It’s okay Sir” and with that Dongwook quickly stand up and take whatever need in his meeting and he walk out with his secretary. ‘I really need to talk to Jihoon’

After the meeting, Dongwook walk back to his office and continue with his works. Time passed quickly and without he know it’s already 8pm.

“Better be home right now and maybe talk to Jihoon about it”

20 minutes later, Dongwook arrived at his home. A soon he walk pass the door, he drop his suitcase bag and walk the kitchen and see Jongsuk and Hongbin.

“Where’s Jihoon?”

“In his room. Hyung, I think you should talk to Jihoon. It’s been 5 days and he still don’t talk to us. I worry something bad will happen if it’s gonna be like this” Plead Jongsuk. Hongbin nod too. Agree with his brother.

Dongwook sigh. A few minutes of listening to his dongsaeng nagging him, and here he’s now, stood in front of Jihoon door and doesn’t know what he should do and begin with. He sigh again and knock the door.

“Jihoon? it’s me. Can I come in?” Silent.

“Jihoon?” Silent again. Dongwook slowly open the door and look inside and there is Jihoon, Stand at the window, blankly stare outside.

“Jihoon, Have you eaten? Hongbin say that you didn’t eat today.”

“It’s okay hyung. I’m not that hungry.” say Jihoon still doesn’t move.

“Jihoon, if don’t eat, you can be sick. Just please, eat okay and i-I’m sorry.” Slowly Dongwook walk to Jihoon and hug his brother.

“No hyung. I-I should be sorry. I ju-just.. I never feel that. I-I, Forget it hyung. I should never ask. I’m really sorry for make you worry hyung” Tears already fill in Jihoon eyes. He hug tightly to his brother.

“Shuuuhhh. It’s okay. It’s okay Jihoon. I just can’t bare to lose you too. You know, after mom and dad pass away, we really thought we’ll lose you too. And thought that you had Haphephobia really make we’ll lose you. We never get close to you or even a hug. You barely remember us.”

“Hy-hyung”

"I know Jihoon. It's okay. i know how's to feel like being curious. Get to know the world out there." Dongwook sigh. Did he really gonna let Jihoon go to school?

“Do you really want to go to the school Jihoon? Are you brave enough to communicate with others?”

Jihoon stare at his brother. Did he? Did he ready enough? He know his brothers won’t be there. He’ll be alone and probably trying to make some new friends that understand his situation. He have to face it the problems by himself. He really want to though.

“I’ll try make some friends. I will extra be careful and avoid strangers.”

“You know, hyung will not be there right?”

“I know…..” Jihoon pout a little bit. Dongwook chuckle.

“Okay. I allow you go to school” JIhoon eyes went wide. Totally shock when he heard it.

“Really?” A big smile were on Jihoon face and Dongwook nod smiling back.

“Thank you hyung” and the hug got tighter. Jihoon was soo happy.

“Okay, as for now. You need to eat. that small body of yours truly need to be feed to growth taller like me"

"Hyung, it's not my fault when I am being short like this. You guys were just too tall” whined Jihoon and His brother totally laugh at his words just now.

“Okay-okay. Its okay though and cute too” Dongwook pinch Jihoon cheeks.

“That’s not true and I am not cute. I’ll be manly and strong just like hyung.”

“Hahhahaha. Okay, Jihoonie~”

“Hyung~ don’t mess up my hair” pout Jihoon, while trying to fix his hair.

“Okay-okay... I’m sorry. Let’s go.” And with that Dongwook and Jihoon together go to their dining room.
