BYR: some italics are going to be the character talking in their own language ((because i'm sick of people commenting on that and it kills me inside...)). so use your imagination!
ALSO! i was advised to give a warning so... WARNING!: this chapter may be a bit intense and be considered higher than T... nothing really bad, just... dark?
Yong Soo sighed as he and his twin entered their room. He had another fairly ruff day at drama practice; everyone kept giving him looks. The first day he went, there was a large ruckus among the drama crew and Feliks with Lili. To calm everyone down, she pulled out her gun yet again and everyone went silent, proceeding on with practice. Today, everyone basically shunned him, only talking to the Korean when needed or suppose to.
"Hyung Soo-Hyeong?" Yong Soo called over to his older brother. Hyung Soo was reading when he called him, making a subtle grunt to signal his attention. "Do you think Lili really would've shoot if I didn't agree to go do the play da ze?"
There was a pause before Hyung Soo finally answered. "Honestly, I'm not sure. She seems like a softy, but her older brother is that one Swiss guy. She could have the capability to go out with it." Hyung Soo placed his bookmark in his book, placing it on the counter next to him and sliding under his sheets. "Goodnight." he said in his native tongue.
"Goodnight..." Yong Soo said back, sliding under his own covers and turning off the lamp on the counter. Only, besides falling asleep like his older brother, Yong Soo laid awake, his running mind refusing to let him sleep.
It seemed as if the world really didn't want him to relax because the rain started hammering down and thunder and lightning flashed. Yong Soo winced with each flash and bang, tossing and turning in his bed. The brightest flash and largest bang had occurred, making the Korean yelp and fall to the ground with a thug.
Yong Soo first looked out the window, seeing the rain refusing to lighten up and flashes and booms of the thunder and lightning continuing like bombs. He then turned to his older brother. Hyung Soo was still asleep, the weather not stirring him at all.
Yong Soo walked on his knees over to his older brother. He listened to the soft breaths of his brother and watched as his body slowly raise and drop. With a nervous gulp, Yong Soo poked at Hyung Soo, knowing full well how his brother hated being woken up.
"H-Hyung Soo." Yong Soo whispered as he poked, the other stirring a bit. "Hyung Soo!" he whispered a bit louder. Hyung Soo rolled over, his eyes slowly opening to see his younger brother next to him.
"Wah‒" Hyung Soo jumped back a bit, startled to see Yong Soo. "What do you want? It's 1:30 in the morning..." he groaned, sitting up a bit as he looking at the digital clock on the wall.
"C-can I sleep in your bed tonight da ze...?" Yong Soo asked, shyly. Hyung Soo stared blankly at his younger brother.
"You're 15. No..." he answered.
"Please?" Yong Soo pleaded.
Hyung Soo was about to refuse to let him sleep next to him again, but was interrupted by another flash of lightning followed by thunder. He saw Yong Soo wince at the sound, realizing the reason for his younger brother's request.
"No," Yong Soo slumped down, now sitting on the floor when hearing his older brother's answer again. He looked back up again when Hyung Soo stood from his bed, pulling the mattress down to the ground. "we're not going to fit, so pull your mattress over here before I change my mind." Hyung Soo said, pushing his mattress to the middle of the room.
Yong Soo smiled, quickly doing what Hyung Soo said. The two twin sized beds were now in the middle of the ground, pushed next to each other, both twin in their own beds. "Okay, now just stay on‒" Hyung Soo was quickly cut off when Yong Soo quickly jolted next to him, closer than how the other would like, "your side of the bed..."
Hyung Soo sighed when he saw Yong Soo already almost asleep. He realized that his younger brother must've been awake all this time and said nothing to disrupt him. The older Korean watched as Yong Soo fell asleep, pulling the covers over his younger brother's shoulders. Still not over it, huh...? Hyung Soo thought to himself as he fell back asleep.
I haven't really either...
"Why don't you play outside with your little brother and father, Hyung Soo?" The little Korean boy looked up from his book; his mother, Yun, was looking down over at him. "I'm sure Yong Soo would really love it if you played with him." she added, sitting down on the ground next to Hyung Soo.
"It's okay..." he answered, looking back down at his book. The Korean mother sighed, soon smiling at her son while patting his head.
"Why don't you cut your hair? It's getting longer."
"Because you and Appa ((Dad)) always mix me and Yong Soo up." Hyung Soo bluntly answered, still reading his book. His mother laughed nervously, unable to fight his answer.
"Hyung Soo-Hyeong! Hyung Soo-Hyeong!"
"Sounds like your little brother's calling you." Yun giggled as Hyung Soo groaned. "Be nice." she sternly added with a smile.
"Hyung Soo-Hyung!" Yong Soo shouted, entering his home from the back door. "Hyung Soo-Hyeong, can you show me how to cartwheel?" he shouted, enthusiastically. "Appa keeps messing up and falling when he shows me da ze!"
"Oh, Seok..." Yun sighed, her hand on her head as she shook it. Her husband can be so silly at times.
"Okay, okay." Hyung Soo answered, placing a bookmark in his book. The twin boys ran out the door, the younger with happiness and the older with a neutral look. As they ran out, their father was walking in, his hand on his sore back.
"Appa, you don't know how to cartwheel." Hyung Soo bluntly stated.
"Well, let's see you try, Mr. Cartwheeling master." Seok teased his oldest son, ruffling up his hair. The man laughed as his sons ran outside, Hyung Soo fixing his hair. "They have so much energy." Seok said to his wife, sitting down and watching Yong Soo and Hyung Soo from the window.
"They're six, Seok." Yun said, tossing an icepack on her husband's lap. Seok hesitantly chuckled, placing the icepack on his sore back. "Have you seen this?" Yun placed that day's newspaper in front of her husband. Seok took a second to read the title, sighing right after.
"Yes. He's in the area." he answered. "It says they know who it is, but just can't catch him."
"I'm worried. What should we do?" Yun asked, looking outside at her sons. Hyung Soo was doing a few flips while Yong Soo fell trying to do one. The older helped the younger one up.
Seok gave another sigh, contemplating his wife's question. "I have some distant relatives a few towns down. They might be willing to take us in for a bit." he answered, giving a weak smile.
"Aren't they the ones who really don't like me?" Yun bluntly asked. "I know they don't really favor the boys that much either..."
Seok gulped. "Well, if we explain ourselves, I'm sure they'll let us stay. Family is family."
"Omma (Mom)! Appa!" Yong Soo shouted, proudly, running into the house. Hyung Soo was running right behind him. "Come look what I can do da ze!" The younger twin started pulling both his mother and father out into the backyard, showing them how he could do a cartwheel.
"Very good, Yong Soo!" Yun praised.
"Keep this up and you can be as good as your brother." Seok added. Yong Soo pouted at this, believing he won't be able to surpass his brother. Hyung Soo, on the other hand, smiled at this, showing off with more flips.
"Show off da ze!" Yong Soo pouted.
"Oh, says the one who dragged out Appa and Omma and who wants to be a famous actor." Hyung Soo growled back.
"I know I can become a famous actor! Just you see da ze! Besides, I promised I would for Appa and Omma." Yong Soo huffed.
"Hey hey hey! No fighting!" Seok strictly said when seeing sparks emit from his two sons glaring at each other.
Later that night, Seok and Yun decided to go with the plan of staying with Seok's distant relatives, leaving the next day. Little did the two know, it would be too late.
"Hyung Soo-Hyeong," Yong Soo whispered to his brother, "I'm cold da ze." Hyung Soo sighed; he and his brother shared to the same bed.
"Here." he yawned, pulling part of his own blanket over to Yong Soo.
"Komawo ((Thank you))..." There was a bit of a silence before Yong Soo started talking again. "Hyung Soo-Hyeong, do you like the rain da ze?" he asked, looking out the window. The rain was heavily falling and when lightning flashed, he jumped closer to his brother.
"mmm..." Hyung Soo groaned, "I don't really mind it. Go to sleep..." he added, patting his brother's head.
"Okay..." The two finally began drifting asleep, soon falling completely asleep.
Deep in the early morning, a subtle crash could be heard all the way from the twins' room. Hyung Soo stirred in his sleep while Yong Soo didn't move at all. The house floors then started creaking and footsteps could be heard.
Creak! Creak! Thump! Thump! Creak! Thump!
Hyung Soo awoke from his slumber, curious as to what woke him up. He thought he heard something, but then lightning flashed and thunder banged, rain continuing to fall. Shrugging at the weather, the young Korean decided to go back to sleep, pulling up his covers. Hyung Soo looked over at his younger brother for a moment, pulling the covers over him as well. Yong Soo was a fairly violent sleeper, tossing his sheets off when asleep.
Right when he was about the fall back asleep, a sharp scream could be heard throughout the house followed by loud bangs and thumps. Hyung Soo instantly jolted up, Yong Soo stirring in his sleep.
"Hello...?" Hyung Soo called from his bed, fear creeping up behind him. He looked down at Yong Soo and gulped. His younger brother was still peacefully asleep.
The other of the two got out of his bed, walking towards the door. He opened the door, stepping out into the hall. "Appa...? Omma...?" Hyung Soo called, walking slowly down the dark hall. The young Korean stopped in his tracks when something fell before him. Hyung Soo couldn't tell what at first because it was so dark, but when lightning flashed, it was clear as day what fell, or more specifically, who.
Hyung Soo stared gaping at the figure before him, frozen with fear. He couldn't run or scream like he wished to do. "Omma...?"
Yun Im laid on the floor with seriously fatal wounds all over her body. "H-Hyung Soo...?" the women strained to say, looking up from where she was. She was already half dead; more than half dead. Yun was covered in bleeding stabs and cuts, staring lifelessly at her eldest twin son. "I love you and your brother so much, Sweetie...Take your brother and run..."
"Omma!" Hyung Soo shouted, hands quickly nearing his mother to help, even though it would be useless. Before he could even touch her, another figure appeared, kicking Yun away. Hyung Soo turned, watching with terror as his mother hit the wall with a gasp of pain, tears running down both mother and son's eyes.
"Omma!" Hyung Soo screamed, starting to run to his mother, only the figure from before blocked his way.
"Looks like I found one of the little ones!" Hyung Soo slightly turned his head up, eyes meeting with those of a stranger's; a psychotic killer.
Trembling, Hyung Soo started backing away, but the killer started walking towards him, a murderous grin matching one of a Cheshire Cat planted on his face.
"How should you be dealt with?" the murderer ask. Hyung Soo's back was now up against a wall. "Since I just love kids, I'll let you pick. Left or Right?" he asked the little six-year-old.
I'm going to die... I'm doing to die... Hyung Soo thought in his head, his eyes so wide that it couldn't possibly go wider. He was too terrified to do anything else but tremble and stare.
"Won't pick, fine then!" the murderer said, pulling out a knife. He held it up in the air, ready to strike the frozen-with-fear child.
"No!" Yun shouted, using up all the strength she could muster up to lunge towards her son, using herself as a human shield.
Hyung Soo only blinked once to realize that he was now in the arms of his dying mother, feeling something runny on him.
Another blink and the Korean saw his father holding back the murderer, the knife dropped and forgotten on the floor. With another flash, Hyung Soo saw that Seok was in a condition was just as bad as Yun's.
"Don't you dare touch my sons." he mustered to say, coughing up blood.
"Appa!" Hyung Soo shouted.
"Should've just died!" the murderer shouted, elbowing Seok in a gashing wound in his stomach. He laughed maliciously as Seok's grip on him loosened and as he coughed up more blood. The psychotic kill then grabbed a hold of the nearly dead man's shirt, tossing him towards Hyung Soo and Yun. As his back collided with the wall, he gasped from pain and his blood gushed out of his wounds.
"Appa!" Hyung Soo cried again.
Seok weakly looked towards his son. "Hyung Soo, you and Yong Soo are both my world... Please, get out of here..."
"Appa!" Hyung Soo screamed, then turning to his mother, "Omma!"
"You're so loud." the murderer growled, grabbing Hyung Soo by his hair. "I'll deal with you later." With that, he tossed the Korean down a short flight of stairs.
Hyung Soo laid lifeless on the floor, his parents' state of condition flashing over and over again in his head. He couldn't move from dark fear until he head another scream.
"Yong Soo!" he gasp to himself. Hyung Soo ran up the stairs, ignoring the pain he had from tumbling down before. He ran past his lifeless parents, noticing they've change spots from where they were before, trying to protect their youngest son like they did their eldest.
Before running through the door, Hyung Soo stopped, turning to the knife that was forgotten on the floor. He quickly ran back for it, picking it up and running back towards the bedroom he shared with his brother. As he ran through the door, Hyung Soo could feel dampness from the knife's hilt.
Now standing at the door, Hyung Soo could see the malicious grin on the killer's face and the frozen terror on Yong Soo's face. In the killer's hand was a gun pointed towards his younger brother.
"No!" Hyung Soo screamed, voice cracking. He refused to let the man before him take his younger brother away like he did his parents. The Korean threw the knife, towards the murderer's hand, the sharp object cutting his hand and having him release the gun.
A second later, Hyung Soo ran towards the two others in the room, picking up both weapons on the floor.
"Hyung Soo-Hyeong..." Hyung Soo heard his brother's hoarse voice say.
"Why you little‒!"
"Get away from us!" Hyung Soo shouted, cutting off the other. The gun from before was in his right hand, pointed at the killer, while the knife was in his left. The man stood still, knowing what would happen if he moved.
"Hyung Soo-Hyeong, I heard screaming and woke up..." Yong Soo started. Hyung Soo's body stiffen up from the cold fear in his brother's voice. "I was all alone. I heard screaming, shouting, banging, and scary laughter da ze..." Hyung Soo slowly turned his head to Yong Soo, weapon still pointing to the killer. Yong Soo's face was as pale as snow, his eyes wide and read terror, and his breaths were heavy. "Then he came in..."
Right then, the murderer started to advance. He launched himself towards the twins, Yong Soo screaming once again and Hyung Soo just turning his head back.
Hyung Soo's heart skipped a beat and everything went slow. He was about to freeze up again, but Yong Soo's screams snapped him out of fear. He had to save his little brother even if it would kill him.
The man who killed his parents and going to kill him and his brother was right in front of him, a towering dark monster looming over him. Without a second thought, Hyung Soo forced his body to move, the left side of his body moving his left arm to swing the knife. He defended himself and his brother all while fear still draped over him, eyes wide again.
The dark monster yelled, backing away from the stinging pain. Hyung Soo then moved the right side of his body, arm stretch out with gun in hand. One. Two. Three. Four. His body moved unconsciously and he could not do a thing. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! His finger just kept clicking the trigger, refusing to stop no matter how much he wanted it too. Until finally‒
"Stop!" Yong Soo cried, tears running down his face.
Hyung Soo did what his brother said, breaths heavy.
The murderer rocked on his feet, slowly moving towards the twins once again. This time, Hyung Soo was still, unable to bring himself to do anything. Halfway towards the twins, the killer collapse, falling forward onto Hyung Soo. The Korean panicked, pulling out the knife again.
The murderer, already dead, fell onto the knife, his weight making the knife stab right through his chest. When Hyung Soo felt something dripping on him, he used all his strength to push the dead man off him. He landed on the floor, blood seeping from his body.
Hyung Soo looked at his hands and lightning flashed, revealing what was in them; his right hand had a gun, his left hand had a bloody knife. The Korean turned back around to his brother, seeing him on the edge of their bed.
Yong Soo jumped from fright when Hyung Soo saw him, falling off their bed. When he looked back to his brother, he saw him nearing him. The Younger Korean started backing away until he hit a corner, unable to move anywhere else.
"A-are you going to kill me, too da ze?" Yong Soo asked, unable to hide how terrified he was and his tremors. "Y-you killed him; a-are you going to kill me now?"
Hyung Soo stopped in his tracks, not believing what Yong Soo just asked him. He didn't really kill him, did he? But he killed their parents and wanted to kill them, too! The older Korean started backing away from the younger.
Another bright flash lit up the room and Hyung Soo could see Yong Soo as clear as day and Yong Soo could see Hyung Soo just as clear.
Yong Soo started shrieking, cowering in the corner he was in. Hyung Soo started panicking as Yong Soo started crying, unsure why and what to do; the man going to kill them was gone and he wasn't going to kill him. When other flash lit the room, Hyung Soo noticed something red in the window next to him.
Hyung Soo turned to the window, seeing nothing but the dark and heavy rainfall. Another light illuminated everything and Hyung Soo saw his reflection in the glass crystal clear, understanding why Yong Soo was acting the way he was.
He was covered in blood. The blood of their mother, the blood of their father, and the blood of their killer. In the hands of the bloody child were the weapons used to kill all who died.
"No..." Hyung Soo started saying. "No." He starting to cry. "No! No! No!" Hyung Soo screamed, tears streaming down his cheeks. Now both twin were crying, unable to control their tears and unable to stop. As they cried, police sirens could be heard, followed by flashing red and blue lights.
"This is the police! Come out now!" a policeman called out, not knowing that there were only two children alive in the house until they heard crying. The neighbors had called them when they heard screaming and gunshots.
"Appa! Omma!" the police officers heard Yong Soo cry, "Appa! Omma!"
The policemen and women turned to each other for a fraction of a second before charging towards the house. One of the police officers noticed the broken window, climbing through to unlock the front door.
Following the sound of the crying twins, the officers ran up the stairs, first to see the dead corpse of Seok and Yun. As a few of the officers went to the two, others ran into the twins room, seeing Hyung Soo and Yong Soo bawling their eyes out.
As only a few of the officers neared them so they wouldn't be startled, Hyung Soo noticed them. "Get away from us!" he screamed after seeing them coming closer, voice hoarse and cracking. He pointed the gun towards them, blinded by rage, sorrow, and terror.
The officers stared gaping at the child, some noticing the dead corpse near the child. They started slowly backing away, not sure what Hyung Soo would do.
Hyung Soo started hiccupping again, crying out loudly. He threw the gun away on the floor, crying louder and louder as he drop to his knees.
The officers slowly started advancing again until they saw the knife in Hyung Soo's hand. They jolted towards him when seeing Hyung Soo point the knife at himself.
"Sweetie! No! No!" one of the female officers softly yet sternly said. One of the male ones was holding him back and his arm with the knife away from his body. Two more officers went to Yong Soo, who was still trembling in the corner, crying for his parents.
"Don't let the children see their parents." another male officer, who was near the door, said to another.
"Appa! Omma!" Yong Soo screamed. "I want my appa and omma da ze!"
"Let me go!" Hyung Soo screamed at the same time. The male officer managed to take the knife away from him.
When the hall way was clear of the corpses, Hyung Soo and Yong Soo were lead outside, but not without a great amount of effort. Both twins were now quiet, but still hiccupped and tears still streamed down. They sat in silence on the their porch steps, watching as the police officers dealt with everything.
"I got the victims names from one of the neighbors. The parents were Seok and Yun Im and their twin boys, Hyung Soo and Yong Soo Im." a male officer reported to the chief officer.
"Good work."
"They look around the same age as my little girl." a female officer said, looking over at the twins.
"Yeah. To lose their parents at just the age of six." the first officer said. "They must be traumatized..." The three stared with sympathy, the female officer starting to walk towards them.
The twins winced when the female officer stood in front of them, kneeling down to their height. "Hello, my name is Min Jee Kim." she said, offering a soft smile. "Are you two cold?"
"Where's Appa and Omma da ze? What's going on?" Yong Soo asked, voice hoarse and cracking. Hyung Soo twitched at the question, knowing full well what the answer was. Min Jee was a bit taken back; she should've sawn the question coming.
"Appa and Omma are both together in a happy place." Min Jee started. "You won't be able to see them anymore, but they'll watch over you."
Yong Soo's eyes widened. "Appa! Omma!" he screamed, crying as hard as before. He noticed two stretchers being wheeled away, instantly knowing they were his parents. Surprising Min Jee, Yong Soo took off towards the stretchers, Hyung Soo running behind, worried for his brother.
"Yong Soo! Hyung Soo!" Min Jee shouted, running after the two boys. She grabbed their arms right as they reached the corpse of their parents, pulling them back.
Yong Soo started struggling to get out of her grasp, but failed. Instead, he reached for his parents with his free hand, grabbing a hold of one of the drapes covering them. With the drape in his hand, Yong Soo yanked it off unconsciously, unprepared for what was before him. Everyone froze.
It was his father, Seok. His body badly broken and covered in blood.
Yong Soo started hyperventilating, yanking his arm free from Min Jee's grip. He ran towards his mother's corpse, yanking off the drape as he did before. He needed to see everything for himself.
Now seeing both of his parents bloody bodies, Yong Soo backed away. The officers quickly covered them back up, but it was too late. Yong Soo fainted from his spot, another officer catching him.
Hyung Soo stared at the covered bodies of his parents, the picture still clear in his mind. He started gagging, falling to his knees. Min Jee bent down to him with concernment as he started vomiting.
"Get the kids out of here! Quickly!" the chief ordered, not wanting the twins to deal with anything more. With that, the twins were driven away from their home and to the police station.
When they had reached the police station, Min Jee and two other male officers led them inside.
"Come on," Min Jee started, "let's get you cleaned up." Hyung Soo only stayed put, watching his brother's unconscious state. "Don't worry, Jae and Hyo will take care of him." Hyung Soo shook his head, refusing to leave his brother.
"He really doesn't want to leave his brother. I don't blame him with all that's just happened." one of the officers, Jae, whispered to Min Jee. "Would you like use to take him along?" he asked Hyung Soo, kneeling down to him.
The six-year-old shook his head. "No, he needs rest..." Hyung Soo said calmly, surprising the three adults.
"Then why don't you get cleaned up really really fast with Min Jee and Jae and I will guard him with our lives." Hyo said. Hyung Soo turned from Hyo to Yong Soo to himself, seeing the crimson stains on him. He looked back at Yong Soo, then turned to Hyo and Jae.
"I don't care if you two are police officers, if I come back and something happened to Yong Soo, I will not hesitate to do something unspeakable to you two." Hyung Soo growled, marching off. All three adults gaped at Hyung Soo, Min Jee quickly recovering and following him.
"Honestly, I believe him..." Hyo said. Jae nodded. Hyung Soo returned in less than five minutes, completely clean. He was going to protect his brother for now on no matter what.
The next morning came quickly and Yong Soo finally woke up. When he had awoken, the young Korean did not recognize his surroundings. He had woken up in an unfamiliar bed in an unfamiliar room. Hyung Soo was sitting on the ground, still asleep.
"H‒" Yong Soo tried calling for his brother, but his throat was all dried from the previous happenings. When the event reoccurred in his mind, Yong Soo couldn't help but start whimpering. Doing so had woken up Hyung Soo.
"Yong Soo!" he said, running over to his brother. "Drink some water!" He then ran to a side table, pouring some bottled water into a cup and handing it to his brother. Yong Soo gulped the whole cup down and Hyung Soo went to pour more water.
"Hyung Soo-Hyeong," Yong Soo started, "are we all alone now da ze...?" Hyung Soo stopped pouring and sighed. "Oh..."
Hyung Soo walked back to Yong Soo, handed him the water and took a seat next to him. "It's just going to be us now..." Yong Soo nodded his head, taking Hyung Soo's hand.
"Appa and Omma are looking down on us, right?"
"Yep... And they love us very much..."
Yong Soo sniffled and Hyung Soo turned to him. The younger of the two was crying again. Hyung Soo took his own sleeve, wiping his brother's tears with them.
"What now da ze?" Hyung Soo shrugged to answer Yong Soo's question.
"We're just waiting for some officers to decide that now. They're outside..."
Just as Hyung Soo said, outside the room the twins were in, stood Min Jee, Jae, and Hyo with the chief.
"I made a call to a friend of mine last night. He'll gladly look over the two. " Jae said.
"Great." the chief said.
"It's horrible how their great aunt and uncle won't take them in..." Min Jee sighed. The others agreed.
"Was the murderer the serial killer, sir?" Hyo asked.
"Yes. Gi Park. We've been trying to catch him for a while. He kills families with twins because it was believe he lost his twin sibling." the chief explained. "Seemed like the parents were trying to leave because there were suitcases in the house, knowing we tracked him to this city, but it was too late."
"That's horrible..." The four officered turned a voice standing at the door. There stood a monk.
"Shin, when did you appear?" Jae asked.
"Right when you said that their aunt and uncle won't take them in." Shin answered. "Now, where are these two young boys."
"We'll take you to them." Min Jee answered, leading Shin towards the twins' room.
"Hyung Soo, Yong Soo," she called, opening the door. The twins were seated on the bed, hand in hand. "We've found a new home for you." Min Jee and the others walked in, Shin entering last.
"Hello there." Shin greeted, kneeling down to the same height as the twins. "My name is Shin. I hope you don't mind living with me and a few others for now on." Hyung Soo and Yong Soo turned to each other, hesitantly turning back to Shin.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. There are others waiting at home as well. They're all around your age."
"Should we go, Hyung Soo-Hyeong?" Yong Soo asked, his grip on his brother's hand tightening. Shin smiled at the two and Hyung Soo glared back at the monk.
"If you think it's fine, then fine." the older twin sighed.
"Great! Shall we go then?" Shin asked.
"Some of your belongings are already packed." Min Jee added.
Hyung Soo and Yong Soo hopped off the bed, walking away with Shin. They thanked everyone and said their goodbyes. On their way back to where ever Shin lived, the two were completely silent, Hyung Soo not trusting anything and Yong Soo still traumatized from last night when he started thinking about it.
Once they arrive at their destination, the twins hopped out of the car, still hand in hand. Shin stood next to them with a gentle smile. "Welcome home..."
Hyung Soo started blinking his eyes open, the sun rays shining brightly through the window. He rubbed his eyes, soon noticing how Yong Soo's limbs were all over the place, one arm over Hyung Soo's chest.
Hyung Soo groaned, starting to sit up. He looked down at his brother, thinking over his flashback-dream. "Nine years, huh...?"he thought out loud to himself.
Yong Soo started to stir in his sleep, yawning as his eyes opened, now awake. He looked up at his brother, who was looking down at him. "Morning da ze!" Yong Soo smiled. Hyung Soo snorted, taking his pillow and smacking the goofy smile off Yong Soo's face.
"Morning..."
