"Jeongguk ah... please sit on the couch, I'll get you something to drink, oh have you eaten yet?" Lee watched as Jeongguk sat himself down onto the couch before shaking his head, "I haven't eaten yet... but it's fine I'm not hungry."

Before the older walked off to his kitchen he squatted down to face the boy, staring deeply into his eyes, "I've been meaning to ask last time but... are you not feeling well? Have you been sleeping?" Jeongguk was embarrassed, he must've looked like shit right now so he answered truthfully, "My sleeping got a little worst and I've been forgetting to eat is all.. hah sorry if that worries you..."

Lee patted the younger on the head worriedly and walked off to his kitchen, "Jeongguk, you're staying here today. Ok?"

The boy was confused and was about to ask why when he a ring shine back at him on the couch, "hyungs..?"

Picking it up quickly he followed the older into the kitchen and asked, "w-was my brother here yesterday?" Seeing the happiness in the youngers face just by seeing his brothers ring really shook Lee deeply and he pressed down into Jeongguk's shoulder lightly. Feeling the boys hidden frame, Lee gritted his teeth and smiled softly, "yeah, he's busy today so why don't you keep me company?"

Jeongguk wanted to go look for Taehyung but then again maybe being with Lee could allow him to learn more about the older so he nodded.

The two ate lunch together and chatted, this might've been the happiest Jeongguk had been for awhile in those moments because in that apartment, Lee tried his hardest to divert the conversation away from Taehyung.

Time flied and before they knew it, it had already been night time and the older handed some of his cloths over to the boy to wear in his sleep as he mentioned, "I know it's not as fancy as what you wear but it's comfortable!"

Thinking that the boy was finally asleep, Lee wandered back into his room ready to sleep himself when his phone rang. 'Taehyung' the male picked up the call and happily answered, "what's up?"
Without the other male responding, he could already feel the anger through the call. Angrily Taehyung shouted through the call, "why the fuck did he go to your place?!"

Curious, the male joking commented, "hah, did Jeongguk leave a note that he was coming over or something?" But unexpectedly the other party groaned a "yes" before continuing on, "so are you going to tell me or not?"

Lee's expression became stern and in a serious voice he asked, "where's she?"

"Home. I sent her home... you did this purposely didn't you??" Taehyung was angry.

Keeping his expression the same, Lee muttered, "I don't care what's going on with you but why don't you take time to imagine you walking into your home and seeing Jeongguk with someone else and even worst, the person looks just like you. Think about that."

Maybe it was due to the anger but Taehyung was choking over his words, "what- what are you talkin- she looks nothing like him! I just want him to see that I'm with someone else!" This caused the other to chuckle, because this was funny, because mannnn was other either lying to himself or he was blind, because that girl looked just like Jeongguk.

"Whatever it is, he's staying here tonight. He's much happier here anyways so why don't you take sometime to learn and reflect on your actions before you try and do something even worst to him?"
