the day didn't feel right with Seojun. really it didn't, his manager came to pick him up, his lion cub wouldn't answer any of his calls and text which is concerning, and learning that his lion cub moved out of his dorm. he wondered where the younger is since he knew the younger didn't have any other relative in the city. he asked Jin who said that Jehyun skipped school during lunch time and didn't come to his house where he should be staying. jin didn't tell him why Jehyun was staying over his house but it relieve Seojun in away.

❝where do you think he is? ❞ turning around to face his manager that sat on living room couch, busy with his phone. he threw his blazer to the older, who was startled. ❝hyung where do you think he is❞

the older shrugged. ❝I don't know but I think you shouldn't be that concern❞

the younger glared. ❝don't talk to my boyfriend like he's some type of unimportant object❞

❝is he not? I mean Seojun, you're a celebrity. why would you settle with someone who isn't on the same level as you? ❞ his manager asked.

❝jisoo, I dont care if he isn't a celebrity. he makes me happy❞ Seojun said truthfully Before turning once more to fix his tie. ❝and that's the reason why I'm going to school❞

❝no wonder you're wearing your uniform❞ the manager, jisoo, snickered before getting up. ❝should we pick him up? ❞

❝one minute you tell me he isn't on my level and the next you're asking if we should pick him up. what's next? the company. forcing me to break up with him? ❞ rolling his eyes, Seojun took his blazer from the older who crossed his arms.

❝dont jinx it jun❞

Seojun gave the older a look. ❝not even planning hyung❞

❝what do you mean he isn't going to be here in the morning!? ❞ turning to the half-Chinese, Seojun squinted his eyes.

jin, who was peacefully sitting on his seat not until the celebrity arrive, raised both of his hands in surrender. ❝I dont know Seojun but that's what Jehyun told me. Well, more like his mom's men told me❞

❝mom's men? ❞ this being the first time hearing about it, he didn't hesitate to sit down on the chair of his lion cub. ❝explain❞

❝basically jehyun's mom is back and he's probably staying with her❞ hiro said which earned a hit from his own boyfriend.❝hiro! you aren't supposed to tell him that! ❞

❝tell me what? ❞ still confused, he waited for the couple in front of him to answer but got none as the two got into a heated argument. sighing in disappointment, he turned to Joshua who was miraculously in their classroom.

❝what? ❞ the older didn't bother to look up as he already knew what the younger would ask. but he did ask just to start the conversation.

❝what's wrong this mom's men? ❞ Seojun pouted as none of them took him seriously.

❝easy, they're a group of men who works for jehyun's mom❞ Joshua answered like it was the most obvious thing in the world. this of course earned a snort and fist waiting to swing from the celebrity.

❝I'm serious about this joshua❞ not changing his serious tone, Seojun narrowed his eyes. he didn't get why everyone was trying to dodge his question. just who are there mom's men.

❝seojun❞ jin finally said after calming down with his argument with hiro. ❝jehyun's family in a way is tight. not family tight but restriction tight. I wouldn't be surprised if he be escorted by those men when he comes here in the afternoon❞

❝he's coming here in the afternoon? ❞ ignoring the first half of what the Chinese said, seojun's eyes brighten with glee. ❝great! ❞

❝did he even hear the first half of what I said? ❞ squinting his eyes, Jin had to glance at his boyfriend who showed him a smirk. ❝huh hiro? ❞

❝nope. not at all china plate❞

Jehyun didn't wake up when the alarm clock. of his old room and in his phone rang. he also didn't mind the maid that turned it off for him. he needed time to process what he watched last night. he also needed time to think how he would face Seojun now that he knows he's responsible for his brother's death. should he treat him the same or not. obviously the latter would be the right choice but wouldn't that be alos unfair on his boyfriend's side?

groaning, he turned to his side and took on of the pillows which he held tight. why is life so complicated? he just wanted to fall in love, not learn that your boyfriend killed your very own brother. why does he always mention how Seojun killed his brother? God it bothered him.

❝Jehyun? ❞ opening her son's room, Mrs. Lee glanced at the male who had his back turned away from her. she felt bad. yes, she forced him to watch the video and the truth, she couldn't help but feel responsible as to how conflicted he is right now. it was for the greater good, she thought. ❝do you want breakfast? mom especially cooked them for jehyunie❞

❝not now mom❞ the teen huffed. ❝I'm not getting up❞

❝you can also skip school if you want. mom will inform the school ❞ just as she was about to turn and leave, her son sat up. she wanted to coo at how adorable he looked with his bed hair but kept a cold demeanor.

❝no need mom. I'll go after lunch❞

Jehyun looked out through the window of his mom's limo.. he would have taken a regular expensive car but his mother insisted him on taking the limo. it bothered him that his mom was babying him.

❝sir would you like to pass somewhere before we reach your school? ❞ the driver asked, glancing at him through the review mirror. it was the same driver that would bring him and his brother to school before. again with his brother.

❝can we get some wine? ❞ despite being underage, Jehyun was allowed to drink by his mom. the driven nodded his head before changing lanes. he drove them to the wine place that the rich would visit regularly.

parking in the family spot, the driven glance on last time at him. ❝is that all sir? ❞

❝and cheese. get some cheese as well❞ Jehyun tiredly sighed, leaning deeper on the limo's velvet seats.

❝yes sir❞ getting out of the vehicle, the driver took big steps to the shop. he still needed to take the youngaster to school.

alone again, Jehyun could help but let out an annoyed groan. why are there so many things that remind him of his brother? he isn't usually annoyed by that but today it drove him mad. ❝aish! why cant—❞

glancing at his phone that was beside him, his foul mood depend as he as he read the caller ID of the person calling him. he debated whether to answer for the sake of peace or not for the sake of his anger. deciding on the latter, he waited until the call went into a missed call. he also chose to ignore the texts from the same person.

❝I can't believe it❞ scoffing he threw his hands in the air. ❝and here I thought all those bullying scandals were a hoax. but would Jin know about this? ❞

would his friend, who is the CEO's cousin, not know about this. there's a 50/50 chance since one, Jin isn't that interested in that field or he chose to hide it. was that the reason why Jin was worried about him spending time with Seojun? ❝did he know already? no he couldn't. he would have told me❞

his thoughts continued going back and forth. it was at this time that he wished he was near a table to bash his head into and black out then learn that everything was a dream and that his brother is alive and that Seojun isn't a murderer. he heaved a distraught whine, flailing his arms everywhere while pouting. why couldn't things go smoothly? why does every relationship have to be complicated?

and Seojun. gosh he couldn't forget that Seojun is a factor as to why his brother died. he gave up on calling him a murderer since he's still his boyfriend.

❝what am i—❞

❝sir your wine and cheese❞ his driver said, eopining the door while carrying a paper bag he guessed had the wine and cheese. the driver then raised a suspicious brow as he watched the younger shuffle in his seat. ❝sir? ❞

❝thank you! ❞ Jehyun squeaked. heavens he was about to look crazy in front of his driver. he watched the man shrug before closing the door. ❝heavens.... ❞

❝lion cub! ❞

❝Jehyun! ❞

grunting, Jehyun harshly pulled away from seojun's hug which made him worry. as mentioned before, Jehyun went with the second option, be upset with his boy friend. yes, he is being that petty but how would you react when—

closing his eyes, Jehyun had to stop his thoughts. heavens did the words repeat themselves. opening his eyes again, he ignored the looks that his friends gave him before walking straight to his room and sitting on his chair. his wine was long gone as well as his cheese.

❝lion cub❞ his BOYFRIEND whined, trying to kiss his cheek which he dodged. he let out a huff. ❝what's wrong? ❞

❝yeah Jehyun, what's wrong? ❞
