"I love you, Taehyun."

Silence has never felt so loud.

"I'm sorry hyung, but I can't return your feelings."

Beomgyu's eyes start tearing up. He fights the urge of bawling his eyes out. The 12 year old stood in front of him, not knowing what to say anymore.

"Hyung, I'm sorry, I really am, we can still be friends though. I'll forget that this even happened." The younger speaks up, trying to calm the older. The atmosphere turns awkward. Beomgyu wipes his tears before they even fell. "It's alright Tyun, and yeah, sure we can still be friends. I'll try to ignore my feelings towards you until I move on." The raven head says, even though he's a hundred percent sure that he won't succeed in moving on.

"Let's go home now, hyung. It's getting really late and my parents might start worrying." Taehyun says as he looks up at the clock on the wall.

Both could hear the ticking of the clock for a long while, until Beomgyu finally spoke up,"Sure, come on, I'll drop you off."

Taehyun nods as he starts walking towards the exit of the library, Beomgyu following behind him.

It felt as if their house was 10 miles away, even when library wasn't far from their house. They walked in complete silence. The awkward air from the library was still following behind them.

Taehyun sighs in relief when he reaches his house. He turns to bid goodbye to his hyung, only to see that no one was there.

The latter stood there, confused where the older went in a blink of an eye. He doesn't take long and turns back to the entrance of his house.

The twelve year old enters his house and as always, is greeted with a flying pillow.

"Welcome home, hyungie."
A voice is heard, followed by giggles of another. "Min-jun and Seo-jun, stop annoying your brother and come eat dinner." This time it was a female who was speaking.

Taehyun walks inside while holding the pillow in his hand, smiling at his twin brothers while they jump around the house.

"Welcome home, Tae." He hears his mother speak from the kitchen. "Hey mom, is dinner ready? I'm starving." He says, while dramatically clenching his stomach and falling side ways.

His mother rolls her eyes at her son's drama.

"Yes, it's ready. Now help me put it up on the table." She hands him a dish filled with chicken soup.

"Mom, I just got home, can't you tell those two brats to do it?" He says but still helps her out because he knows the answer to his question.

"They're having too much fun to even think about coming to the kitchen. And don't call them brats, they're your brothers." She puts a jug of water on the table.

"Damn mom, it was a joke. By the way, where is dad?" Taehyun looks around the room in search for his dad.

"He said he's going to work overtime today." His mom calls her two youngest."Oh, alright."

The two sat down while the twins were on their way. They start eating their dinner until-

"MOM! Seo-jun keeps touching my dingdong."

"Seo-jun and Min-jun, if you don't come eat dinner right now I swear to God I'll drag you by your ear." Mrs.Kang yelled back.

Taehyun just giggled at his
brothers.

The twins sit around the table and start eating their food while trying to avoid their mother's glare at them.

Taehyun chuckles as he finishes his dinner and is the first to go upstairs to sleep.
