Sungjae's POV

You know, I've never thought I'd ever experience such pain in my life.
I'd seen all those sappy romantic movies with love triangles. I've never expected to be involved in one myself.... Considering what He told me all those years ago.

11 years ago....

" SUNGJAE!" I Hear my best friend calling me. Appa allowed me to play with him for an hour before i have to go home for dinner. " Hyukkie! Let's quickly start building! I have to go home soon." He nods his head and we both climb into the tree house our appas helped us build. Once up the quaint little room, Sanghyuk unpacks his haversack that he wad carrying, pulling out a small knife.

" DONT KILL ME!" I scream and Sunghyuk laughs. " As long as you don't tell my appa. He will definitely scold me and not allow me to eat chocolate anymore." He pouts. " Now, let's do something cool."

He goes to a wall of the tree house and begins to carve something on the wall, intentionally using his back to block my view.
" yah! Let me seeeeee." I put my hand on his shoulder and try to move him.

"No! Just wait."

" Fine ~ "

I fold my arms and sulk in a corner

After about 5 minutes, Sanghyuk calls me.
On the wall, I see a roughly carved heart, with the letters: " SJ + SH " scrawled into the wall.

"I love you Sungjae! Lets be together forever!"
He hugs me tightly.

-------------------------------------------------

I was a fool to believe that.

Hongbin's POV

" I.... I just can't believe we are together. Just a  few months ago, i hated you. "

Sanghyuk rolls his eyes and pouts. " Yah.. don't freaking remind me of that moment."
I smile at his cuteness and kiss his forehead, his skin smooth on my lips.

We continue our journey in a comfortable silence and soon, we reach home.
Unlocking the door, we find ourselves greeted by our parents, I mean my mom and his dad, sitting at the dining table. Food is still available, but both of their plates have been scraped clean. I guess we are late.

"Appa? I thought you said you would come back home late? " Sanghyuk looks puzzled as he removes his shoes. I do the same.
" Oh, a meeting got cancelled." He replied Sanghyuk plainly, but his eyes were unmistakably fixated on me. I try my best to shrug the weird feeling away before sitting down next to the bitch , I mean my mom.

" Have your lunch before it gets cold." She tells both of us. I comply not because I want to obey her , but because im fucking starving.

Sanghyuk and I barely get through a quarter of our meals before Mr Han clears his throat.
"So we hardly ever get to sit down as a family, let's talk about your days. Sanghyuk, how did school go? "

Sanghyuk starts blabbing about work, lessons, the usual stuff, but he completely leaves out the biggest thing. I guess im glad he did because...

" Hongbin, what about you?" Mr Han interrupts my thoughts.
"Me?" I ask, still dazed. He nods his head and I stiffen.

"It was normal I guess. " I can't go about complaining about how shit the school is to the principal, can I? Especially since he's my step dad. He looks at me as if he's expecting more, but doesn't say anything.

Phew....

Its time for the bitch to speak up. " How are you and Sanghyuk doing? Are both of you getting along?"

My breath hitches and Hyuk's face immediately starts to redden. His eyes search for mine and I give him a slight shake of the head. He nods secretly in response.
"Hehehe... Er... Your son is a really good friend and.... Helps me with my homework!" Sanghyuk starts.

"Speaking of which, " I stand up abruptly, causing the chair to make a deafening screech against the marble floor the bitch worked so hard to polish  " We need to complete a project, don't we? Come on." I walk over to his side, grab his arm and drag him into my room.

"But.  You haven't finished eating--"

"Thanks for the food, Mom" Sanghyuk says before i pull him in and lock the door.
Wow that was fucking close.

I lean against the door. " Why do I feel like your Dad doesn't like me?"
Hyuk smiles and folds his arms. "Sure he likes you. Just give him time."

"But im your boyfriend, and your brother." What makes you think he will even accept me. "

Hyuk looks troubled , before smiling. He closes in and wraps his arms around my waist, burying his head into my chest.

Fuck

"Well, I like you, and I dont care what he says."

Unknown's POV

" Subject X and H have reached home. "
I whisper into my communication device.

" Good, " a voice laced with pure hatred replies, " it won't be long before we get him. "

I see Hongbin and Sanghyuk walk into their house and close the door.

"Which one are we targeting, sir?"

" Idiot. Han Jumin's son, of course. I have some unfinished business with that imbecile."

I start to feel a tinge of doubt. " But sir, they are always together, how am you going to take him without the other finding out?"

An eerie moment of silence passes

"That is where you come in, and I expect you not to fail me."

A buzz of static cuts our conversation. I'm determined not to let him down.
