String of Fate

Chapter VII : Shadows

"You look better than I thought." The blue haired male said.

"What are you saying, Sejun-ah?" Seung Woo said as he take a sips of his americano on their lunch time.

"I thought you would look so stressful about your situation but instead, you look somewhat, happy." Sejun said, smiling at his long lost bestie.

Seung Woo stunned at Sejun Words. He thought it would be hard at first too, since he's so blind with everything. But things went so smooth with Seung Sik. He even often forget that his position at Seung Sik side is just a substitutional. Coating with lies.

"Did I?" Seung Woo words slipped out. Sejun humming and nods his head as he ate his spons cake.

"I'm really curious about him." Sejun said, muffled as he munching his cakes.

"Seung Sik?" Seung Woo feels his heart warmed at the name. Sejun humming.

"What's so special about him that makes you sacrifice your life for him." Sejun words making Seung Woo groaned.

"Don't said it like that." Seung Woo disagreeing. It's sound so bad.

"Yeah, what's the best explanation for your situation then?" The blue haired male insisted. Seung Woo let out a sigh, rolling his eyes. Knowing that he indeed true.

"Fine. It's just- How can I describe this? Since the first time I met him, there's something about him. Something I don't know how to explain it. I don't know what but, I just want to stay by his side."

"The one I know is His smile is so beautiful and I want to protect it. This is the first time i feel like this, Sejun-ah." Seung Woo smiles as he recalling Seung Sik smiling face.

"I see. You like him so much, hyung." Sejun words making Seung Woo chocked on his drink. Cheeks felt burning suddenly and Seung Woo know it's not because of the hot weather.

"Yeah. I did, but I can't. He see me as his brother, Sejun-ah." Seung Woo didn't see any point to lying infront of his bestfriend because Sejun could see him like an open book.

"That's the problem!" Sejun clicked his hand.

"Why did you keep hiding as his brother? Aren't it's better to tell him the thruth that his brother is already dead?" Sejun asked. A question that making Seung Woo stunned.

Seung Sik looks so much better than the last time. He broke into tears. He looks so fragile before, but now he looks so bright. He smiles and laughing a lot. Seung Woo shakes his head.

"I can't. It'll hurt him if I tell him." Seung Woo disagreed.

"Aren't you want to help him, hyung?" Sejun continue asked.

"Yes. I want! I really want. But, he looks so much better than the past weeks. I don't want Seung Sik to be broken again." Seung Woo sigh. He felt so selfish right now. Sejun sighing too as he could felt Seung Woo dillema.

"Give him a hint then." Sejun suggested. Something that never passed on Seung Woo mind.

"A hint?" Seung Woo confused. Sejun nods.

"A hint that making him realize that you're not his brother." Sejun said.

"Maybe this could be better than tell him everything in once. He maybe or not would freaked out someday but atleast he wouldn't see you as his brother anymore." Sejun said.

"The doctor said he can't be stressed." Seung Woo said. He's a coward.

"Bullshit." Sejun dissed as he continue to eat his cakes.
