String of Fate

Chapter IX : Sacrifice

"I- No, Sikkie..." Seung Woo lost his ability to arrange a words.

"It's done. I got myself back. I remember everything now. I finally can see you as Han Seung Woo not my brother anymore. Your job to helping me is done, Seung Woo-ssi." Seung Sik stated. Seung Woo groaned. Pulling back his hair in frustation.

"Why did you lying to me? Why did you sacrifice your life for me? Why- No, it's my fault. Why did I take a blame on you. I'm so stupid." Seung Sik muttered.

"I'm so sorry, Seung Woo-ssi." Seung Sik apologized. Seung Woo groaned again.

"Just call me Seung Woo or hyung, like usual. I really dislike you call me with too much formalities." Seung Woo protested. The way Seung Sik address his name with the formalities -ssi makes Seung Woo felt cringe.

"It's not important." Seung Sik sighed, throwing his hands on the air.

"It's important to me." Seung Woo said. Their eyes meet for a seconds before the younger broke it.

"Fine." Seung Sik huffed. They were in the middle of serious talking, why did Seung Woo care of the formalities more than the topics?

"Let's go back and talk at home." Seung Woo said. Seung Sik nods his head. They bid a goodbye to Seung Ryul and Seung Sik tailing the older to walking back to their car.

The ride to way back home is so quiet and tense. No one saying a single words as their busy with their own mind.

"Let's grab something on the way home. What do you want to eat?" Seung Woo said casually, like nothing BIG happened. Seung Sik throw a look at him.

"I don't have any appettite to eat." Seung Sik said.

"Fine. I think some waffles and strawberries cheesecakes would perfect then." Seung Woo said. Pretend he didn't saw Seung Sik sulking on his seat.

"Hyung.." Seung Sik let out an frustated growl.

"What? Don't you like strawberries cheesecakes? Or you want something else? Oh look, there's a street food booth. Do you want to go there?" Seung Woo said in an excited tone.

"Let's just go home. We need to talk, seriously." Seung Sik said. Seung Woo silented for a moment.

"We will." Seung Woo said, sighing.

They arrived at their home after thirty minutes. Not before Seung Woo insisted to buy a waffles and strawberry cheesecakes for both of them.

"Uhm, I- " Seung Sik looked like he's in trouble to putting a words as they entered the house. So Seung Woo turn around and looking at the younger.

"Listen. First, I want you to stop apologizIng at me. It's not your fault. Totally not! I did the same thing to you." Seung Woo said, trying to take Seung Sik hands but the younger avoided. He shakes his head.

"It's because you tried to help me." Seung Sik said.

"I did. But more than that, I lov-"

"I'll give you time for packing your things, but please do it as soon as possible." Seung Sik said as they entered the living room and cutting Seung Woo words.

"But, Sikkie..." Seung Woo grab Seung Sik hands to stop him.

"Please, hyung. Let's stop this. I'm tired. Just leave. Comeback to your place." Seung Sik said and soon dismissed himself to his bedroom. Leaving Seung Woo by himself.

Seung Woo opened his mouth, but nothing is out. He lost of words. Seung Sik words shot him right to the heart. Whatever arguments. Whatever reasons he throw, he know he didn't have any right to stay.
