บท 8: I'm happy that Hyung likes my chest

I stayed up for more than an hour and when I was sure they had all gone to bed, I took my bag and opened the door.

I peeked out, from the left to make sure there was no one watching. Both sides were clear, so I decided to make my way down the stairs.

The twins lived in this huge penthouse and I wonder if they didn't get lonely staying there by themselves. Well, they had each other so what did it matter?

I made my way down the stairs but just as I was about to make a turn towards the direction of the entrance, when I saw Seojun walking out of the kitchen.

We immediately locked eyes and I flung my bag towards the side right away. If he saw me trying to leave, he would probably try to stop me.

Why was he still awake anyway?

"Hyung? What are you doing?" He asked as he approached.

"I... I..." My eyes trailed to the bag I had tossed. I hope I didn't break my laptop in the process. That thing cost me a lot to get and I still had a lot of installments to pay.

"Hm?" He got closer and moved his head closer to mine. "You're acting a bit suspicious."

"Uh, no." I said. Well, if they saw someone sneaking around their house in the middle of the night, they would definitely suspect that person.

Even if it was me.

We had not seen each other for so long so we were no more than strangers. They were the ones who were trying to accommodate me for old-time sake... I still don't know why though. Their attachment to me was strong but it couldn't have been this strong.

And that didn't mean they would turn a blind eye to all that I did. So if they suspected me of sneaking around with the aim of stealing, they would definitely put their guards up.

"I... I wasn't sneaking around." I said, silently.

"Hm?" He blinked at me. "So, what were you doing?" He asked and I lowered my head.

For some reason, I couldn't make eye contact.

I ran out on them after saying so many embarrassing things, so it was hard to look him in the eye.

'I like breasts? What was I thinking?'

"Hyung," Seojun called, taking a step closer. He raised his hand and placed it on my shoulder. "I'm sorry if I made you feel awkward." He said.

I raised my head and saw him smiling at me. But it wasn't bright. It was rather an apologetic smile.

Why... Why was he apologizing? I was the one who needed to apologize. I practically groped his chest. Did he not know that?

"I'm happy that Hyung likes my chest." He said, leaned in a bit more, and whispered in my ear. "I like Hyung's chest too."

He moved back, smiling brightly.

"There. That makes us even, right?"

I watched his smile, stunned. He looked so good. But more importantly... Was he a child? I covered my mouth and looked aside, hiding the blush on my cheek.

When you tell a child, 'I like you', with childlike plainness and innocence, they would smile and return the words 'I like you too'.

And that was exactly how I interpreted Seojun's words.

He probably didn't know what it meant to tell a man he liked his chest.

'What is this? It seems he still has that innocent mindset from when he was younger. I'm happy he didn't change much but...' I thought and cleared my throat. "You shouldn't randomly say that to a guy."

"But it's not random." He said and abruptly stepped forward. "It's because I really do like Hyung. And since I like Hyung, I like Hyung's chest as well." He confessed, glancing down at my chest.

He had this look in his eyes that resembled a predator but in no time, he raised his head, smiling at me purely.

Geez, I was imagining things again.

There was no way innocent Seojun would have such a look in his eyes. And for what reason anyway?

I, plain ol Lee Dongwoo was the one standing in front of him.

'Exhaustion must be getting to my head. I need to get away from here so I can relax.'

"Did you say something?" Seojun asked and I shook my head.

"No. I... I'll just get a glass of water." I said, rubbing the back of my neck. "I'll leave you then."

Seojun watched me as I briskly walked away and while I felt I was forgetting something, he took a step forward and glanced at the side. He stared at my bag, his eyes growing dark.

I drank an entire glass of water and then washed my face in the sink.

'I need to get out of here.' I told myself, trying to calm my rapidly beating heart. I clenched my fists. 'Once I get out of here, I won't get involved in their lives anymore. I won't...' I cleaned my face.

My mind was very conflicted and my heart seemed to be adding to that conflict.

I liked the twins as my Dongsaeng but that was in the past. They were now grown men and I couldn't help getting attracted to handsome men with beautiful smiles.

I already told myself I would not get involved with them to avoid rubbing my cursed fate all over them and now too, I didn't want to start having canal thoughts towards the kids I had practically raised.

It was enough to see them again living well. That was all I could ask for.

I can't get involved with them for any reason but someday, I'll come back here and pay them back for the meal.

I went back to where I slid my bag. I didn't realize that it moved from the position I left it and simply picked it up, hurried towards the entrance and glanced back one more time before making my way out.

'This Hyung is a very unfortunate being. I hope you two can live a carefree and innocent life as you already do.'
