⊱☯⊰

Tae was entering his house carrying the box of medicine and drafts V ordered from Yoongi few weeks previous since Yoongi still refused to see him. He accepted his orders though, but only if Tae come to pick them up. So Tae did. He always liked to visit Yoongi and chat with him. Well, it was mostly him talking and Yoongi grunting the response, unless he is really in the mood, in which case he would tease Tae savagely. Today it was bearable, exchanging the town's gossip and other amusing stories, so Tae was in a good mood too.

He found his twin at the library, writing a letter. He came in, closing the door behind him before walking forward and placing the box on the table. V glanced shortly, returning to his letter, murmuring.

-''Did you get everything?''

-''What you ask, Hyung provides, you know him.'' – Tae answered, hands still brushing at the box.

-''And the smoke bombs?''

Tae reached to his pocket and extracted a small bag, filled with dozen of round smoke bombs and placed it on the table as well.

-''How's Yoongi?'' – V asked, scribbling fast.

-''As always, works too much, eat too little, but I do believe he slept a bit, he looked less grumpy.'' – Tae answered after a thought. V let the annoying sound from his throat.

-''One of these days I will tie him down to his bed, feed him a good meal and force his own sleeping draft down his throat, so he gets some sleep.'' – He said and Tae cooed.

-''Aaaaw brother, I didn't know you had a soft side.'' – He teased and V ignored him, his quill running fast across the parchment. -''I believe it's all Hoseok Hyung's doing. He made you softer.'' – Tae added.

V's hand stopped writing and he raised his head to look at his brother, who was smiling down on him. V didn't know what to say since he couldn't lie to his twin and the truth was that he didn't know what's happening to him for the past few weeks. Ever since Hoseok came to Hyungsik, V couldn't think of anything else. Sure enough, they both pretended that it's nothing more than sex between them, hooking up more frequently now, sometimes adding Hyungsik in the equation. He knew that Hoseok was fucking around and the minstrel knew V wasn't idle either. It was a silent agreement not to meddle in each other's affairs with other people without the invitation, but V couldn't lie that he hated the thought of other people touching Hoseok. This feeling was so new and strange to him, that he didn't know what to think of it.

-''Don't even try to deny it.'' – Tae said, arching an eyebrow. V looked at his brother's eyes now, licking his dry lips, before he spoke calmly.

-''I'm not sure what... he...did to me Tae, but...I know I'm panicking a little bit.''

Tae opens his mouth to tease his twin, but when he saw the seriousness and slight fear in his brother's eyes, he fell heavily in the chair behind him, starring at his blonde split image in shock. He had never seen him like this before and for V to admit of panicking. V? No, it can't be, Tae thought. He knew V was attracted to Hoseok, but he never thought that he would have feelings for him.

-''But...'' – Tae started, frowning. – ''What?'' – He pouted, his face confused. -''Do you....have....feelings for him, brother?'' – He asked after a few moments.

V blinked, looking at the parchment and around, exhaling loudly through his nose. – ''I don't know.'' – He said. – ''He surely messed up with my mind, his image appearing whenever I'm with someone else.''
