Chapter 3
Disclaimer- I own nothing!
MC slid off Saeyoung's lap onto the open seat on the couch. "Please tell me you weren't serious with Saeran." She waited to see him smile and start to laugh. When that didn't happen she started to worry. "Saeyoung. Do you really thing he would flirt with me?"
Moving to drop his head onto her lap he looked up at her and smiled. "Nah. Saeran has always been caring. I mean you're so amazing I could see him falling for you but I don't think he would flirt with you when he knows we are together."
"I love you but please don't tease your brother so much."
"I'll try but it will be hard."
"Thank you." Bending down to kiss him they smiled as their lips met. When they separated MC had Saeyoung sit up so she could help Saeran with dinner.
Saeyoung stayed out of the way by setting the table while the other two cooked. He noticed MC kept stopping and starting, had this been happening every night and he just failed to realize it? Going to ask if she was alright or if he should take over for her he stopped seeing the old robot cat he made for MC years ago. He couldn't believe she kept it all these years honestly. It was something he had just thrown together. She loved it though and he worked on it a few times since he gave it to her to keep it functioning.
"Mail, meow." Going up to Saeyoung she stopped and opened her mouth to have him take it. Picking her up, Saeyoung placed her on his lap to see if she needed a tune up.
"Oh Saeyoung, since you are holding her I think something is wrong with her vision. I noticed she kept hitting the wall the other day." MC said as she stopped again. Keeping an eye on her and the robot cat Saeyoung wished he could do something to help MC.
"A bulb may have gone out again. I'll look into it later. Babe go relax, I can finish dinner with Saeran."
"I'm okay. It comes and goes. And I hope it is something easy. I love having her around." Moving over to pet her she stopped and paused before running out of the room.
"Babe!" Getting up he put the robot cat on the table and ran out after her. Saeran turned to see Saeyoung running out and shook his head.
"Hi Robot Cat." Hearing her meow at him he smiled before finishing up for right now. He really wished MC had named her because Robot Cat was such a boring and stupid name but he wasn't going to say anything to her about that. Maybe if Saeyoung was busy he would fix her eye. He knew it wasn't difficult to do. He may not have done as much with robotics as his brother did but he could figure it out.
"What can I do for you Saeran?"
"I'm good Robot Cat. Thank you though." Watching her sit and stare at him he smiled. He knew she was programmed to sense emotions and while it had started with just Saeyoung and MC he had been included in that programming as well. He lost track of all the times he spilled what he was feeling to it. Maybe he was depressed again, he had been thinking a lot about his future and what to do from here. Maybe he could ask Saeyoung for help later with some ideas on what he could do. Seeing MC and Saeyoung together didn't make him want a relationship but he wanted to do something more than this. For the first time in his life he had a future that was all his own. He could do anything his heart desired, no one to control him, drug him, tie him up, he was free. He really didn't have schooling though, outside of hacking books he didn't know how to do other things. He learned to cook via web videos and Saeyoung taught him toy making so they could do it together. He wanted to be able to be independent though. Hearing his pot starting to boil he got up to check on it and lower the heat before he ruined dinner.
Saeyoung sat on the edge of their bed after dinner keeping an arm around MC. He was glad she was looking better though he could tell dinner was rough on her.
"Have you seen a doctor yet?"
"Not yet. I'm going to make an appointment tomorrow so I can get that going. I guess now that you know we have a lot to plan. And, I've been thinking about if we have to move. Because, if we do we have to start looking soon. I'd rather not be heavily pregnant and trying to move to a new place."
"Well…we have a guest room and my computer room can be turned into a nursery if need be. If we can't move right away I'll talk to Saeran about moving around rooms so everyone has a place to sleep. Obviously I'm not going to kick my brother out."
Saeran was heading down the hall holding Robot Cat as he headed to his room for the night when he stopped. Hearing his name he noticed it was his brother and MC talking about him. "…kick my brother out." Was Saeyoung going to kick him out to make room for their child? Maybe it was for the best thought, what if something happened and he became dangerous. He didn't want to hurt an innocent child. Going into his room he shut the door and pulled out his tools to take apart Robot Cat so he could take a look at her vision. The entire time he sat on the floor with the pieces between his legs he thought about where he could go. Deep down he knew he couldn't stay here forever. He could take the money he was saving from working with Saeyoung and put it towards his own place. And, he was sure it was easy to find a place with the help of the internet and if not then maybe he could ask Jaehee for help. She was always asking if he needed help with anything and just overall being a friendly person. He just didn't want to be in the way, he didn't want either of them to worry about him when they had their own things to deal with.
MC woke up in the middle of the night from Saeyoung's snoring. Some nights he was good, others, well, he was lucky she loved him. Getting up to get a glass of water and sleep on the couch for a bit she stopped hearing something down the hall from their room. Moving towards Saeran's room she noticed he was having a nightmare as he mumbling in his sleep. Opening his door she stepped inside and moved to his bed to wake him up. He hadn't had a bad nightmare like this in years it seemed like. Sitting on the edge of his bed she gently touched his shoulder to try to wake him. Having him stop tossing and turning she wasn't ready for him bolting up and pushing her back. Stumbling back she rolled into his dresser and yelped as something hit her head breaking around her. Saeran quickly reached for the lamp by his bed to see MC on the floor with glass broken around her, his dresser was leaning over ready to crush her.
"What the hell…Oh god! MC!" Both looked towards the door to see Saeyoung there before he ran over to help her before she got hurt any more. "What happened? Are you alright? What the hell broke?" Asking her he saw she was looking at where Saeran's bed was.
"Saeran…are you alright?" She was worried about him. She knew she was fine and he didn't mean to hurt her he was just scared from his nightmare. "Saeran…I'm okay. I promise." Trying to stand with Saeyoung's help. They both stopped as Saeran started mumbling to himself.
"I knew it…I'm nothing but a monster. I knew it…I knew it…I knew it."
MC went to move away from Saeyoung to help Saeran when he jumped off the bed and ran out of the room. "Saeran!" Pushing Saeyoung away she wanted him to go to him. Saeran needed someone more than she did. Moving away from the mess she was careful not to cut her feet and went to grab shoes before getting the broom. She really hoped Saeyoung could help Saeran right now. He was no monster she knew this with all her heart. And she knew that what happened wasn't his fault.
Coming out of their shared bedroom MC saw Saeyoung coming up the hallway in a hurry.
"Babe. I can't find him." Getting to MC he put his hands on her shoulders and tried to catch his breath. "I've looked all over here and the area and I can't find him. I don't get what happened. Are you alright? Why did he hurt you? You have glass shards in your hair." Gently he tried to pick out the few pieces he saw.
"He didn't hurt me. I got up because of your snoring and when I left the room I heard him having a nightmare. Wanting to wake him and see if he was alright he panicked and pushed me back. It was dark, I wasn't thinking and I hit the dresser. I should have been more careful. Saeran did nothing wrong." Worried Saeyoung would think the wrong thing, or that he would think that maybe Saeran wasn't doing as well as they hoped she tried to get him to understand. "I know Saeran is upset with himself and I wish I could talk to him." Watching him bite his lip she leaned over to kiss him. "Please, don't take this out on him. I am fine."
"I…I'm not. I know he has gone through a lot and nights like this will happen and they have happened before. I just…you are important to me and you have to be careful, especially right now." Kissing those lips he loved he pulled her close happy she was alright. He was worried about his brother and where he could be but deep down he knew that he would come home once he calmed down. "Go back to bed love, I'll clean up the glass in the other room. And then I'll take the couch so you can have the bed. I don't want to disturb you any further."
Shaking her head she took his hand, they could do it together. Going into Saeran's room they started putting the things back on top of the dresser and cleaning up the glass. It looked like it was a picture frame that broke. Saeyoung found the picture and just stared at for a minute. Seeing his gaze lost at the photo MC looked over his shoulder to see it was the one from their engagement party. She never realized Saeran kept that photo, she always got the impression from him that he didn't like it.
"He has come such a long way since we took this photo. I hope he realizes that too." Saeyoung really wished his brother could find peace and happiness. That was all he wanted for him. He would give him everything, do anything for him, if it meant he could live in peace. He swore off hacking but he would pick it back up in a second if he could use it to help him.
"He does know. I just think he is upset with himself for having a slipup, but really, it wasn't anything he could control. We all know that thanks to the drugs and the abuse he will deal with episodes like this but I know he is aware that he is only moving forward. And I know with you standing beside him he will be able to overcome it all." Kissing his cheek she got him to smile as he pulled her close for a hug. He loved her so much, she was such a rock for him. Seeing something moving in the corner of his eye he pulled away and noticed it was Robot Cat walking over to them. It must have sensed the emotional shift in the room.
"She is fixed." MC noticed right away that her eye was lit up again and the fluid motions in her walking was better. Reaching her hands out she had her walk into them and noticed that there was a tag wrapped around her neck. "Saeran fixed her." Showing Saeyoung the tag that read I'm all better in small but sloppy lettering.
"I have to find him." Saeyoung said as he kissed her and got up to leave the room. "Don't wait up love."
