jaemin was just sitting in the living room, searching for a movie when the door suddenly opened.

jeno dropped his bag on the floor and removed his coat and loosened his tie.

jaemin gulped, almost drooling. it was a first for him. his brother can see this everyday and he doesn't drool?

jeno smiled at him and tried to kiss him but jaemin looked away. jeno frowned and chuckled. "what's wrong?" so he just kissed his cheek.

he went to their bedroom and changed. and jaemin tried to compose himself.

he slapped himself, "what's wrong with you, na jaemin? you should act like donghyuck. and why wouldn't you let him kiss you? you're lee donghyuck for pete's sakes. not jaemin, but donghyuck," he sighed.

jeno came out from the bedroom using only a shirt and his boxers.

jaemin's eyes widened and he tried to avoid what he just saw.

"y-your... uhh... thing is uhh... kinda showing." jaemin said without looking at jeno.

"what? oh! that. you see this everyday! what's new?" jeno laughed and sat beside him. wrapping his hands around jaemin.

jaemin gulped. he had been wanting to ask jeno something since the day he woke up as donghyuck.

"you're hesitating. ask away." jeno said while looking for a movie. he's not even looking at jaemin.

"d..do you remember... jaemin?"

jeno stopped scrolling through the tv.

jaemin could hear jeno's heart beating fast and strong.

"l-let's not talk about him."

it broke jaemin. he just wanted to know if he still remembers him.

"n-no... i wanna talk about him... do you still remember him?"

"hyuck... you know how long it took me to get over him. he was so important to me. he was a part of me. without him... i wouldn't have graduated. it's just... i don't know."

"why did you ask anyway? are you friends with him or anything?" jaemin was surprised he didn't know that he's hyuck's brother.

hyuck has been hiding things from his own boyfriend.

jaemin shook his head, "why did you... why did you leave him?"

"i didnt—" his phone started ringing.

"sorry, i have to take this. be right back," he said and answered his phone.

jaemin sighed, he didn't know what to feel. if he's supposed to be happy to know that he meant something to jeno. or supposed to be sad because originally, he didn't want to talk about him and jeno moved on from him.

or angry. angry to know that his brother was a selfish slug. he met jeno when he was moving on from jaemin. he knew that jeno had been moving on from his own brother, but he acted like a jerk and he never told jeno he knew who jaemin is. he wanted jeno all for himself.

jaemin usually don't say things like this, but...

"i'm going to take back what's mine."
