Detached | Seungjin

Nineteen

"NO!"

Hyunjin was catching his breath as he sat up from the bed, eyes wide open after the dream he just had.

He ran his fingers through his hair in frustration, letting out a groan, "Fuck!"

Hyunjin was honestly worried. Seungmin's memories about him hasn't even came back yet, and he has no idea on how he should be telling him the truth.

He was so conflicted. He came back to Korea to find Seungmin, and so he did. But his family know nothing about this except his twin sister. And just like his grandfather said, he will be going back to the States once he had settled the business he needed to do for their company.

"You're up rather early today." Yeji said as she saw her brother going down the stairs.

"Yeah, I guess." Hyunjin uttered, ruffling his hair.

Yeji took a sip on her coffee before setting it back on the counter and eyeing her brother. "Grandfather called last night, didn't he?"

Hyunjin sighed as he poured hot water on his cup which had some coffee powder in it, "He did."

Yeji clicked her tongue, "This is getting serious."

"I don't even want to think about it."

Yeji slammed her palm on the counter table, catching her brother's attention, "No, it's time you think about it."

Hyunjin raised a brow at her in confusion.

Yeji crossed her arms, "You need to decide on what you should be doing next. I get it, your relationship with Seungmin is getting better. But now what? Even if you say that he'll fall in love with you again, grandfather is still waiting for you back in the States. Not to mention, your fiancée."

"Look, I— I know that, okay? I just need more time to think." Hyunjin defended.

Yeji scoffed, "And then what? You'll end up hurting him again? Just so you know, you're taking too much time."

Yeji was honestly mad. She witnessed how his brother left Seungmin. She witnessed how stupid her brother was for leaving Seungmin just to escape all his problems. Seungmin was her friend, they had a beautiful friendship between the two of them, and it hurts for her to forsee her friend being hurt again because of her brother's careless decisions.

Hyunjin was left speechless. He knew his sister was right, but he just can't contemplate on how he should even be telling Seungmin everything.

He was too scared to tell him the truth.

"Why are you here?" Jisung questioned.

Hyunjin was standing in front of him, by the door of Seungmin's house. "I— uh... is Seungmin inside?"

"He is, what business do you have with him?"

"Uncle Jinnie!" Minji's voice can be heard behind Jisung. Soon after, she ran to the door and embraced her arms on Hyunjin's legs making the latter giggle.

Hyunjin crouched down to the ground, "Hello, baby girl."

"Did you come to visit me? Did you? Did you?"

"Of course, Uncle Jinnie wants to play with baby Minji after all."

Jisung sighed in defeat, deciding to let the situation go as he saw how happy Minji was with Hyunjin. He felt an arm on his shoulder, which turned out to be Minho.

"Calm down, babe."

"I am calm."

"You're not, everything's gonna be fine. You worry too much." Minho told him.
