Bab 64: World 3.13

'DING! BREAK METER: 40%'

Taehyun snapped himself back. The cars outside the busy road meet his sight. He shrugged his shoulders and compressed himself in the corner beside the driver's seat. The red light was still flickering, so their car also stopped.

Soheun, who's driving the car, shot him a glance. "What is it?" he asked.

"Nothing," Taehyun smiled and pulled the hood of his purple jacket to cover half of his face. It's cold weather today. He put his arms around his stomach and hugged himself. Still wondering why the break meter increased.

[Why did it suddenly increase? I don't remember of doing something]

Since the system didn't give him an answer either, he remained silent. Closing his eyes until the green light flickered again. He leaned his head on the head of the car and closed his eyes. Today, they were going to the hospital to visit Tae Jun. Soheun insisted on picking him up in the morning for his early photoshoot. After that, they were going to head straight to the hospital.

After parking the car, Soheun smiled and untucked his seatbelt. "Are you still sleepy?" he asked as he saw the male tugged off his hood with droopy eyes.

Taehyun shakes his head and tells the latter that he's okay. They took the elevator at the very back of the parking lot. He's a celebrity after all. He didn't want to gather everyone's attention.

Once again, Doctor Shin welcomed them to the 5th floor. Soheun talked to the doctor first, while Taehyun stayed behind them. He roamed his eyes to the long white corridors of the hospital. He didn't hate hospitals, but when he's in a place like this, he can't stop his heartbeat. It feels like there were magnets pulling him and swallowing him slowly.

"Taehyun?"

The male jolted and blinked his eyes a few times. He felt Soheun's hands grasping his arms. "Are you okay?" the man asked. Another figure approached him and gave him a brush on the head. "Just don't push yourself and calm down, kay?" Doctor Shin said.

Taehyun fixed his expression upon realizing the situation and his long gaze. "I'm fine, don't worry about me" he averted his gaze. "Besides, I want to see him…" he uttered in a low voice.

To his surprise, Soheun held his hands tight. "Just tell me if something goes wrong," he assured the male while looking at him sincerely. He received a nod.

The two strides along the corridors, going to the familiar room. When they reached the door, Soheun didn't touch the handle. He instead asked Taehyun to do it. "I will wait outside," he whispered.

"I'm nervous," the other male mumbled. He put his hands around the handle and took a deep breath. "But I want to talk to him," he said. His eyes glinted in the positive way as he recalled the break meter. Even if Jinli was the one who's holding this body, the emotions of the real Taehyun were still there.

Jinli wanted to help. She wanted Taehyun to overcome his fears and fix the strings between the twins. 'I can do it,'

He pushed the door, letting his nostrils recognize the disinfectant smell. The wide room welcomed his sight as the curtains lifted itself when the air passed by the half opened glass window.

Taehyun gulped, still feeling the throbbing sound created by his chest. It's true that he's a bit nervous about facing Tae Jun, especially that he now knew that he was awake. Soheun didn't follow him, so he closed the door.

His feet brought him to the side of the bed without even realizing. When he lowered his line of sight, he met the cause of his visit. His hair was a little messy from moving. His pale skin wasn't like a dead person anymore, it was peach and pinkish. Also, his lips gained a reddish color.

Their eyes meet.

The sound of Taehyun's heart became louder. It took his senses away from his surroundings. He froze, can't even avert his eyes away. His twin brother, Tae Jun, looked at him with his gentle brown eyes. His expression bloomed like a flower. Even if he's still weak, he managed to lift his hand just to touch Taehyun, then under that small smile, he said. "I miss you, brother"

The tension quickly let go of Taehyun's body. He slid down. His knees completely lost its strength.

Surprised, Tae Jun held his brother's hand tighter. He can't help him since he's still recovering. "Brother? What's wrong?" he asked with his soft voice.

The warmth from the other male's hand crawled into Taehyun, feeling the heaviness in his heart slowly fading away. He lowered his head and gasped, then he cried. Small sobs occupied the atmosphere.

This time, Tae Jun couldn't help but sit up slowly. He used his other hand to support his body. When he's finally at the right position, he bent down and brushed Taehyun's head. "Please don't cry, I'm here," he uttered.

In his words and heartwarming headpats, Taehyun remembered the woman in his dream. It's their mother. It made him more weak, funny, in front of his brother.

'BREAK METER: 45%'

'NEW INFORMATION UNLOCKED'

The system rang in his ears again. Taehyun released his last sob and wiped his eyes. "I-I-I'm sorry," he said before his voice cracked.

Tae Jun shook his head, "Hmn, you don't need to apologize...I understand," he bent more to reach his brother's shoulders. His tubes are longer so he can make big moves. He hugged the male and smiled. "Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault." he whispered.

Taehyun finally gathered himself back and stood up. Still with his swollen eyes. He faced the male and stretched a smile. "Thank you, for waiting for me"

Tae Jun returned to his position earlier. He couldn't help but feel the happiness lingering inside him. This is the day he was waiting for. All he wanted was to fix the torn between them. He made himself strong enough for Soheun and for Taehyun.

Under that smile he was showing, he thought the words. "I guess I can finally be at peace,"
