Hi everyone...again ...^.^... This is a four-shots story (as I have planned) so hopefully the coming chapters will be uploaded soon. The name came from a Korean song for Kim Dong Wook in You're Beautiful Ost. The story has nothing to do with the lyrics, though. I just took the name hehe.

The idea is a little bit cliched but I wanted to write it badly and well you it is hard resist an idea when it keep nagging.

Another thing, I have got a poll on my profile so if you are interested in my other stories, you can drop by it to choose the story you want it to be updated weekly (I will do my best to achieve that).

Well, that is all I guess. Enjoy and tell me what you think.

My Heart Is Calling

'Kouji!'

Kouichi moaned half consciously, feeling the heavy sweat that wrapped his trembled body as his eyelids blinked weakly at the image of his brother above him.

'Shush. It is okay. I am here. Go back to sleep.' Kouji soothed him, pushing him again gently to the bed. Kouichi's eyes wondered sleepily before the image of Kouji's room organized itself in his confused mind, 'It is you-your room,' he managed to whisper.'But how? I can't rem-'

Kouji placed his finger over his slightly elder twin's lips kindly, hushing him. 'Just go to sleep. Nothing happened…'He tightened the thick blanket over his brother and made sure that the mattress was comfortable enough. 'Everything will be okay. I promise.'

A small, tired and ignorant smile curved Kouichi pale lips. 'But '

'Don't speak. Just sleep. Trust me. I won't do anything you don't want. Relax.'

'Hai.' Kouichi said sweetly in defenseless obedience as he closed his eyes to return to the darkness world of sleepiness.

Kouji sighed heavily as he rested on the headboard, gazing worriedly at his brother's innocently sleeping face. Another tired sigh interrupted the darkness as he stepped out of the bed and gave the digital clock beside his bed a quick look. It was three in the morning.

He crossed the room rapidly and opened the door. In front of the door, he wasn't surprised to see his father and his step-mom's worried looks.

'How is he? Should we call a doctor?' Satomi asked in a frantic worry. Kouji looked at the ground shamefully and answered shortly. 'He is sleeping now.'

'No need for the doctor then. To be honest, I expected something like this, but didn't expect that he would try to run away this quickly.' The twins' father said while rubbing his jaw with an ice pack.

'I am sorry, Otou-san. I should have kept an eye on him.'

Kousei came closer and put his hand on his younger son's shoulder and said calmly. 'It is okay, Kouji. He was asleep walking anyway. It is not your fault nor his. If it is anyone's fault it is mine. I shouldn't have forced him to be with us.'

'No, it is not like that. He isn't against living with us. He doesn't like the circumstances that pushed him here besides I would never do anything he doesn't want or allow others to do that to him.'

Kousei smiled at his thirteen-year old son's attempt to defend his brother even without the need to justify his actions. He smiled, 'I see. It was a long night. You need some sleep too.'

Kouji nodded and entered the room, murmuring his good nights to them.

It had been a week since the twins' mother, Kimura Tomoko, entered the hospital as her condition was considered as critical one. There was nothing they can do to help her and the Children Care Organization was concerned about the whole situation and intended to send Kouichi, who was practically living alone, to a foster home or to an orphanage. Realizing that his father was still alive, they gave him the available options however, he preferred to take Kouichi himself.

The legal forms went smoothly for someone who spent his life in courts and between law documents. Kouichi's relationship with him wasn't the best of relations but they talked a lot and it was much better than how it had been the first few times they met after the twins' discovery of the other half of their family. Kousei had expected Kouichi to protest but he never thought that his elder son would feel that anger he saw him with when he told him about the new custody situation several hours ago.

It was a shame indeed as he himself wished that he could keep his two sons under his care but the way things turned out weren't what he wanted. He felt guilty after what happened because even if he never wanted the way things happened in, he couldn't deny that he had wished the end of it very badly. His two sons would live together with him. What would he ask for more?

'Does it hurt?' Satomi asked her husband, interrupting his thoughts as they settled on the living room few minutes later after Kouji had gone to his bed. He looked at her and accepted the wet cloth she gave him for his bruise.

He chuckled against his will,' Who could believe that a sweet boy like Kouichi can be that dangerous under pressure? Another proof of the reality of Duskmon's story. His punch does hurt. I shouldn't have tried to hold him forcefully. He felt threatened and fought back.'

She sighed and put the tea cup in front of her husband and another one in front of her, 'At least, Kouji managed to control him before he could hurt himself. I thought for a moment there that he will break free from your hold and run outside.'

'There was a high possibility he would but I can't deny that I am surprised. I didn't know that he can do all that while being asleep.'

'You said it. He was threaten and under pressure and as he was kind enough not to try to do anything to hurt you or Kouji, his subconscious did that for him, though'

He took the cup and sipped slowly before sighing, 'Still, it was my fault. I shouldn't have taken custody over him without his permission. I allowed myself to take decisions instead of him. It is his life.'

'You didn't have a choice. Tomoko-san is in the hospital for a week and in a critical condition, it was the only choice. Unless we wanted him to be dragged to an orphanage or a foster home.' Satomi said quietly.

'True. Such a reaction in his first night here under the new conditions is expected. It seems that he didn't remember what he did. I wish Kouji could keep things like this.'

It seemed pathetic to him to wait for his younger son's help to keep the elder twin under control. He was supposed to be their father who they should obey and respect. Kouichi always obeyed and respected him and even Kouji did the same to some extent now. The memory of what happened few hours ago at Tomoko's house was burning his heart whenever he remembered how strict he was in his talk then.

'You heard me, Kouichi. Your mother is in no condition that allows her to look after you. You are old enough to understand the situation.' he said strictly and avoided to look at his son's tearful eyes.

'You…you can't. She will be fine. I am not leaving her. You can't do this to her. She is always with me. She is the one who raises me up. You can't take me after everything she did. That's unfair!' Kouichi shouted out as his tears streamed on his cheeks.

'Listen to me, son. I know it is hard on you but you will live with me and your brother. I thought you would be happy to stay with us.' Kousei's voice soften as he tried to reach his son who stood, trembling in the doorway of what was the living room of his house.

'Not like this.'

It hurt to see them, his father and others, accusing his mother and whispering that she couldn't even take care of him. After everything she did, it wasn't fair to just leave her and accept the comfortable life his father can provide him. It seemed like betrayal to him as if everyone was waiting his mother to collapse just to offer him what they called a better life. It had been a week and yet even the neighbors felt sorry for him and asked him to stay at their house for a while till his mother recover; something they highly doubted

No one ever cared in the past about how tired and sick his mum was but now all of them are looking at him sorrowfully with pitiful eyes. His father and brother cared. He couldn't deny that especially after the reunion of the family but even that didn't justify their rather hectic steps to take custody over him. Kouji didn't tell him anything about his father's attempt to take him, and Kouichi wished from the bottom of his heart that his brother didn't know about that. If Kouji were with those plans, Kouichi would be devastated. Kouji wasn't that selfish to do something that cruel to his sick mother and to his broken brother or at least that what Kouichi tried desperately to believe.

'Let's go, Kouichi.' his father said softly and stretched his hand to him but Kouichi stepped back and screamed, 'No! I am not leaving kaa-san's home. I won't leave her.'

'Enough! I am not taking you from her. You can visit her whenever you want,' his father shot back and grabbed his arm harshly, 'You are my son just like you are hers and I won't leave my son in a dark, empty apartment.'

'NO. LET ME GO!' Kouichi cried and tried to break lose from his father's hand, but the older man kept a firm grip over the younger. Despite Kousei's tight hold, his face showed agony and regret.

He was his son too, but it seemed that two years weren't enough to make up for leaving him and his mum all those years. His son didn't want to come with him. His flesh and blood preferred to sleep on a cold bench in front of his mother's room in the hospital instead of the comfy life he can afford him.

'It hurt!' Kouichi wept as his father twisted his hand unintentionally to stop him from squirming. Hot tears rolled again down his cheek and the teen whimpered faintly, 'Please…Otou-san.'

He let go of his son's hand as the effect of the plead struck him painfully. He didn't intend to hurt him. He wanted to make up for all what his son lost and that was his chance, but it seemed to him that he destroyed it.'

Kouichi continued crying as he fell on the dusty floor. He rubbed his ached hand with his other shivering hand and continued crying miserably.

Behind his glasses, Kousei looked at the floor sadly and lost the stern look he had. He didn't pay attention to anything but his son's soft tears that even the door's sound and the familiar hurried steps towards them didn't reach him till he saw his younger son looking angrily at him and roaring dangerously. 'What have you done?'

Kouji lent in front of his brother and took him in a tight embrace which Kouichi accepted gladly, allowing his brother to cry upon his chest.

'You. Hurt. Him?' Kouji hissed slowly, glaring at his father in deadly accusing eyes.

'I didn't. He is acting childish.'

'He has enough to deal with!'

Kouji turned his eyes to his trembling brother and whispered softly,'What happened, Nii-san?'

It was a rather stupid question as he vaguely knew about the custody case from his step-mom just before coming to visit his brother today.

'I don't want to leave her. It is because of me, she is sick. I can't leave her. I am her son,' Kouichi sobbed, burying his face deeper in his brother's jacket.

They were her sons but it was always Kouichi for her. It wasn't like she didn't consider Kouji as her son. Heck. No, she loved them both but Kouichi was the child she raised herself and looked after till he turned out to be a nice, sweet young man she was proud of.

Kouji understood his brother's tears and his protest as he sighed in frustration and looked at his father in apologetic manner before talking to his elder brother gently,' No one will take you from her. She wants you to be happy and safe so she will be really glad if you live with us for the time being. I promise you that when she became better, you will live with her again. For my sake, let's go.'

'No.' Kouichi shook his head,' I can't.'

'You can, Nii-san.' Kouji assured in a soothing manner, looking around them to see several paper, thrown on the ground. Bills, debts and other financial documents which seemed from the scene of them on the ground carelessly that they had been thrown angrily. His brother did that. No doubt. Their circumstances were blamed for their mother's sudden drop of health. That thought was the easy way Kouichi chose. The real reason was his mother's cancer that he just knew about the night she collapsed to be shocked by the fact of how developed the disease was.

They took him home, hoping that the would accept the new life he was thrown too but things needed a lot of time to be healed but his reaction proved how wrong their father had been when he thought that Kouji's existence would comfort the other completely. Kouichi exploded after all of them went to sleep and sneaked out of his room, trying to open the front door. If Kousei weren't awake to finish studying one of the cases he worked on, he wouldn't discover his elder's son in his sleeping clothes in front of the front door. He held him strongly like what he did in Kouichi's home's before but the kid who had tried then to break free and ended pleading for a release fought this time dangerously and even muttered some illegible words that was foreign to him. Kouji came sleepily but was easily altred by the situation. He calmed his brother and saved his father whom Kouichi punched while protesting. The elder twin lost concentration and gave up to Kouji's comforting hug as the memories of what happened those few minutes were sealed.

'Kousei, you okay?'

'I am fine. Just tired. It had been a long night.' He sighed after being pulled from his memories. His eyes gazed at the second floor upstairs, where his sons are sleeping peacefully as he wished.

'Indeed. You have work tomorrow and they have schools, right?'

'I am not sure about that. Kouichi needs more time before accepting a new school and I don't think Kouji will leave him behind.' He said, running a hand in his hair nervously, 'But I can't let this continue for too long.'

Satomi smiled faintly to herself. She couldn't help but being surprised to see how confused her husband was the past few days. Observing that her husband didn't even care about his work and was extremely worried about his sons was a pleasant scene in fact. He always cared about his family, but recently that care intensified.

It wasn't that strange to feel sorry and worried about the ex-wife of her husband as the two women became very comfortable around each other after the cold barrier between them had faded quickly because of the twins. After all they were mothers of the same children.

Yes. They were her sons too, for blood wasn't the only tie that bonded them together. They were a family in a much larger sense.

So that is it.

BTW, Kouichi was too lost and unfocused that he didn't even recognize that he was in Kouji's room at the beginning. After all it had been just few hours since he came or rather was dragged to his father's home.

Otou-san:father.

Kaa-san:mother.

Nii-san:dear older brother.

Hai:yes.
