"Seungkwan? Can we talk? Please!" Jeonghan said when he saw Seungkwan getting ready to go out.

"What do you want?" The younger brother asked, annoyed.

"I want to talk to you. Can't I do that?" Jeonghan pouted. He had had enough.

"Yes, you can. But what do you want? I'm going out with Hansol, so I don't have much time. Hurry up."

But then Jeonghan hugged Seungkwan. He also burst into tears. Seungkwan only widened his eyes.

"Why are you like this? Why are you always leaving me? I'm always waiting for you to come home! I'm always checking to see if you're okay! I'm always happy to see you! But what happened? Why are you leaving me? Why is Hansol more important to you? When I got back together with Joshua, you didn't care at all! Aren't you happy for me? Hansol changed you so much! Please return to the old Seungkwan! To the times when we always joked together. To the times when you were excited to see me. To the times when you always checked on me. Please. Come. Back. To. The. Old. Seungkwan."

Jeonghan started crying even louder. Why was he like this? Why did he get so emotional over a small thing? Is this even a small thing?...

Seungkwan was mute. He couldn't say anything. That made Jeonghan feel worse.

"So you like Hansol more than me? Okay then... if you think he's better than me... then you can go."
he said, wiping away his tears.

"I'm sorry." That's all the younger brother could say.

"You're sorry?"

"I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"For everything I did. I never thought this would affect you. I'm sorry for not being supportive. I'm sorry because I always chose Hansol over you! I don't know why I was like this. I got blinded by love." He let out a small tear.

"Why are you crying, Kwan?"

The nickname 'Kwan' made Seungkwan cry. Jeonghan hadn't called him that for ages!

"I don't know. Why am I crying? Why do I have to be the bad person?"

"Seungkwan, you're not bad! You just acted a bit... weird... all this time. You only talked with Hansol."

"I know. I was scared of losing him. I was getting too attached to him. After a week, I realized my mistake, but I was too scared to apologize. Weeks became months, and that's the current situation."

"Aww, Kwannie! Why were you scared of me? Am I THAT scary?" He said, laughing.

"No, you're not. But... since you got together with Joshua... I wanted to avoid the drama between us.
I thought you would be okay with not talking with me since you got Joshua. I never thought this would affect you mentally."

"You know my mental health is not good! You could've apologized!" Jeonghan pouted.

"Aish... everything was good if it weren't for me and my overthinking..." He looked down.

"Don't be sad about it! I overthink a lot too! We are brothers, so!"

"Yeah..."

"Are you still scared of me? You know what! I'm gonna call Joshua and ask him if we can all hang out together!"

"All of us who?..." Seungkwan questioned.

"Me, you, Joshua, and Hansol! I don't think you are comfortable with more people."

"You know me so well! I love you." He smiled and hugged Jeonghan once again.

"I love you more! I was there with you since day one! You weren't!" He joked.

"It's not my fault I was born later! All the older brothers are the same."

"The younger ones too." He added.

"Stop making fun of me!" Seungkwan hit Jeonghan, as a joke, of course.

"I love to tease you! Now let's call my lovely boyfriend..."

"Should I call mine too? And tell him you're coming?"

"Of course, Kwan! What if he's proposing to you and I'm ruining everything?! I don't want to ever experience that!"

"Okay, okay, calm down!"

The boys called their boyfriends and told them about the meeting. Luckily, both of them agreed without any hesitation. Hansol even sounded excited about it.

Joshua had just finished work, so he was a bit tired. But who cares? He would do anything for Jeonghan to be happy!

After half an hour, the four boys finally met.

"Jeonghannie! It's been a long time since we met!" Hansol said, shaking hands.

"You're acting like an old man! Even though you are the youngest." Jeonghan laughed. He was the oldest there, so it was funny for him to make jokes about this.

"You're going to be the one who dies first!" Hansol fired back.

"Shut up, Hansol! Jeonghan never dies!" Joshua said, getting overprotective.

"True." Seungkwan approved.

"What about you two? Did y'all solve everything?"

"Yeah! Seungkwan apologized to me. I'm so happy we are together again! I missed this."

"Who didn't?" Hansol laughed.

"Oh gosh, Jeonghan, I'm so happy for you! See? I was right! That's why you should trust me more~~" Joshua teased and kissed the boy's cheeks.

"Shut up, Joshuji."

"NOT THE JOSHUJ-"

Everything was perfect right now. Jeonghan finally felt happiness. He finally experienced how real love feels like. A long-awaited moment!

For the rest of the day, they went everywhere. I mean EVERYWHERE. They had so much fun.

But something kept Joshua from feeling free.

How is he going to tell Seungcheol to quit?
