Hyunseok's POV:

My jaw dropped as I stared at Seokjin.

"Seokjin! How did you get out of the bathroom on your own, brother? You should have waited for me to help you." My twin cold-heartedly dragged me towards an unknown place in the house.

"Are we alone?"

"What...?" I felt so confused as to why he had this sudden outburst with me. It's not like Seokjin to act so imprudent when in front of house guests. Let alone, towards me.

"I asked you if we were alone, Hyunseok. Answer me with honesty." Of course, I didn't lie.

"Yes. We're alone, Seokjin." Seokjin stared at me, but he didn't even know he was looking at me. And even so, for a moment, I felt as if he really was staring back at me.

"What was that all about, huh?" He spoke to me with disappointment and anger.

However, I remained unphased by his stern voice, and told him exactly what I had told Namjoon before, without sugar coating a single thing...

I then proceeded to hold my cheek when Seokjin's palm collided with my face.

"Are you crazy, Hyunseok? Huh! Why would you even think of telling Namjoon something so rude!" His response left me paralyzed with confusion for a moment as I tried to take in
what he had just said.

"I'm sorry, bro, but you're the crazy one here. I'm trying to protect you-"

"From what!? We both trust Namjoon. I trust him more than I trust you, to be honest." My mouth widened again as I gasped in disbelief.

"Who the hell raised you and supported you when you ran away from home? Was it Namjoon? I don't think so, baby." I noticed a slight limp in Seokjin's walk, but I thought nothing of it at the moment.

"Ew! Stop calling me that, I find it cringe-worthy already. I'm a grown man, Hyunseok."

"Yeah? How about when Namjoon calls you "Baby", do you belittle him the way you belittle me?" I responded.

Though I was trying my best to lower my voice, I felt my sanity was slowly beginning to fade away, along with my compassion towards Seokjin, the stupider he acted.

Is he really not getting any of my hints? How hard can it be to understand!

"That's completely different, Hyunseok."

"HOW?" I crossed my arms, waiting for Seokjin's response.

"You're my brother! And two male brothers calling each other "baby" is weird to me! Wombmates is fine, even pretty funny and cute. But "baby" is not okay anymore. So from
now on, I want you to stop calling me that."

Seokjin continued to limp, now hunching his back, the further he would walk.

"Seokjin!" I caught him in my arms just in time before he collided with the floor. While slowly resting his body on my bed, I felt a sense of normality reach me again, and the feeling of regret followed behind it.

Realizing that I had yelled at my now, blind brother, made me feel angry at myself.

This wasn't supposed to end in an argument. All I wanted was for him to understand me.

"Look, Seokjin, I didn't mean to make you feel upset. I just wanted to protect you."

He looked up at me, hissing.

"Protect me against who or what, Hyunseok? The damage is already done. Don't you see?
Wait no, I take that back. I'M the one who doesn't see." His short laughter brought a smile
to my face, even if it was filled with sorrow.

No matter what this man goes through, he always keeps his great sense of humor.

That's why I don't want anything else to happen to him. I must protect Seokjin at all cost.

"Against Namjoon..." I lowered my voice so that any potential listeners wouldn't hear me.

Aka: Namjoon.

"What!? Ha! That's ridiculous!" Seokjin smacked my arm, laughing.

"No, Jin. I'm not joking. I don't trust him around you. Especially not if he'll be alone with you in the bathroom. What if-"

"Come out of your imagination right now, that place is not good for you." Seokjin practically dissed me, with a sassy tone.

Something tells me that he's not taking me serious.

"Seokjin, I'm not imagining things! I'm trying to avoid the things that could potentially happen to you if you're left alone with him." It seems that how ever I try to explain my worry to him, Seokjin will never fully understand.

"And what do you think could happy if we're left alone in the shower?" Jeez, If he weren't blind, I would have slapped the brains out of him.

"What do you think, Seokjin? Anything could happen! Even the unthinkable is possible."

Seokjin suddenly launched a pillow at me, and surprisingly shot me right in the face with it. I tossed the pillow aside and focused on him.

"Are you in your right mind, Kim Hyunseok? Why would you think something so crude and disturbing of Namjoon? He's more of a trustworthy man than any other guy I've met.
You're so immature!" With his yelling, I'm pretty sure Namjoon is aware of our full conversation now.

"Besides, I shouldn't fear him touching me at all." He continued.

"Why? You don't know his body. You've never even seen him naked, yet you still don't feel
intimidated?" I moved closer to him, consuming the light that shined down on him with my shadow.

"Of course I don't feel intimidated! Why would I when we had sex at his place?" His response caught me by surprise... And not a good surprise either.

"You... WHAT?" No...

That can't be.

Seokjin and Namjoon... Did it?

"Why do I feel so strange hearing this from him. Could it be..."

Out of jealousy?
