“You know how girls are, they stop their boyfriends from spending time on their phones. And no, nothing happened actually. We just went for a walk afterwards,” he lied. Tae was surprised at how easily it was to lie to his brother, the guilt getting the best of him. “That’s not a lot to eat, you must be hungry. Both it is.” He opened up the containers, smiling a little at the smell of the bulgogi. “Oh no, it’s not filthy,” he mumbled but listened to his twin and shrugged the hoodie off - at least there were no blood stains on the clothes. Taking a deep breath, he turned around to face his brother and held out a can of coke for him. “Here you go.” Tae waited silently to see his brother’s reaction to his bruised face.

“I do know how girls are, I can’t say the same when it comes to girls with boyfriends.” He chuckled as he checked on the expiration dates of the goods Tae bought. It’s what kept his eyes from him, it’s what distracted him from getting a good look at his brother. Well, he didn’t think there would be anything different about Tae’s appearance until he had to look up and his eye caught a spot on Tae’s face that’s a few shades darker. Kai fell silent, he squinted his eyes and pointed at his jaw. “Tell me that’s a hickey.”

Olivia laughed with the boy. “Um, I speak German, French, and Italian. And English, obviously.” She explained. “And right now we’re doing Spain, so it’s a little bit more difficult because I don’t speak it. Are you multilingual?”

[jungkai]

“Just bilingual,” he answered, grinning. “English and Korean. I’m not as talented with them like you, unfortunately. Oh, Spain! Uhm.. Carta a mi esposa. That’s the only spanish phrase I know. Thanks to drama classes.”

Taemin felt incredibly guilty when he saw his brother, they didn’t keep secrets from each other and their bond always told the other when something was wrong. He just hoped he wasn’t giving his brother any negative vibes right now. “I went to visit Margo after Cris went off to class,” he told his brother as he put the bag down on their small table and began to take out the items. “Then I thought you might not have eaten so I got some bulgogi and kimchi.” Tae kept his hood on and his face turned away from Kai as he opened up a can of coke and took a long sip. “What should we have first? The bulgogi or kimchi?”

[jungkai]

“And you forgot to tell me?” He pouted then started giggling. “You went to visit Margo. Nothing happened, right?” Kai pushed himself off the chair to approach his brother, help put away whatever were inside the bags. It was a habit he got from their mother. As soon as the grocery bag is on the table, it’s time to help her out and put them away in the cabinets. “I had croissants before coming home, but it’s always a great time for bulgogi and kimchi! Definitely bulgogi first. Or let’s just have them both. Also, get out of that filthy hoodie, I bet you slept in that. And I was thinking of fixing the laundry today.”

“Well I mean anything at college level is gonna be hard, but compared to some others…” She explained. “No, it’s more about the culture and history and stuff, but knowing the languages definitely helps.”

“Compared to some others, these majors would be hell? If that’s what you’re trying to say then I concur!” He smiled once again, his innocence sparkling in his eyes. “So what other languages do you speak? And whose culture are you currently learning?”

He’d sent his brother a text message last night saying that he would be stayed with Cris to work on a few things - he hadn’t mentioned any more details, he didn’t want to worry his brother any further. Tae had spent the majority of the day out of his room, he’d stopped by when he was sure his brother was at rehearsal to change into his own clothes. Taemin had then spent the rest of the day avoiding anyone he knew and anyone who would possibly question his bruised knuckles and bruised jaw. Now, he walked into his room with a bag of all their favorite food from their favorite Korean restaurant. “Kai? You in here? I’ve got dinner.”

[jungkai]

After a brief conversation with Ryan back at the dance event, Kai looked at the world in a way that’s a bit less worrisome. He and Tae were adults now, so when he received the text from his twin brother that he was staying the night with Cris, he tried his best not to worry. Tae’s a big boy now, he can take care of himself. But when he got home to their shared dorm room to find out Tae still wasn’t there, he tried his best not to worry. He’s still at Cris’ snoring like a bear from hangover. He convinced himself as he worked on his homework. Then he heard the doorknob turn. He leaned back against his chair, then jumped up when it turned out to be Taemin. “Where in the world have you been, mate?”

[jungkai]

“Really now? Wow, those sound like awesome majors.. So much fun. No, actually I’m majoring in Modern Languages, but trust me, it sounds fancier than it actually is, it’s really not that difficult.”

“You consider those majors fun?” He wrinkled his nose, missing whether or not she was being sarcastic. “So do you learn how to speak foreign languages like French and Italian? Spanish?”

[jungkai]

“Oh, you annoyed me so much. I don’t think you can ever recover from how much you just annoyed me.” Gaby told him matter-of-factly, crossing her arms. “That sounds gross, but you do you boo.” She joked and nodded, laughing. “Sure, if you want.”

“You can try me! I can recover from anything. You are underestimating my power.” He replied, dismissing the way she crossed her arms by offering his hand and doing a bow they used to do in those victorian-era films. “If I want? You have to _want _it too, silly!”

[jungkai]

“Well I hope everything’s alright with whatever he has back home. Is that... is that a ring? Are you two engaged??”

[jungkai]

“But that’s how brothers are supposed to be! Or all siblings, actually. I hope I didn’t annoy you just now because I like to think the only person I annoy is my twin brother.” He grinned wide and wiggled his eyebrows. “Good question! I don’t know really. I just know matcha is a flavour and it tastes like green tea. Ah, no matter. You wanna dance?”

[jungkai]

“But--but I can’t help it! It’s in my system and I can’t suddenly stop being a full-time brother. Except of course when Tae and I have to fight over food, then it’s a different story.” The Jung twin then stuffed three more strawberries into his mouth before asking his hyung for a dance, his mouth still full. “Dansh wiff me!”

[jungkai]

“Oh.” Kai’s smile trailed off, realizing this for the first time. He and Taemin are now 20, they definitely do not need to be looked after anymore. “That’s... a new perspective. I should learn a thing or two from you, shouldn’t I?”

[jungkai]

“Because I’m a dancer myself! I major in Drama and Music, so dancing is one of the few things I’m confidently great at. So I can tell you’re one too. You’re from the music department, right? I do hope you’re not taking any of the complicated majors like engineering or chemistry if you have such a talent.”

[jungkai]

“Not anymore? Oh... I’m so so sorry.” His face was filled worry because 1) breakups upset him and 2) it suddenly occurred to him how insensitive he might’ve sounded like. “Why do you say it’s for the best? You don’t have to answer that though. But if that’s the case, then I’m happy it is for the best. How can you not be a foodie though?”

[jungkai]

“Yeah you weren’t! I was supposed to play the ‘brother who’s hard to please’ part first!”

[jungkai]

“Then I’m definitely changing that right at this moment.” Kai didn’t wait for a response before holding Julian’s head in his hands and jumped to plant a playful kiss on his temple despite Julian’s predicted struggles. Kai jumped back, laughing louder than he should. Damned champagne.

Ella stood there picking up a drink as she looked around at everything going on around her and sighed, “It looks like a perfect night doesn’t it?” She laughed knowing it wasn’t but she tried to be optimistic for the night instead of miserable, considering she had invited Lee to keep her spirits up.

[jungkai]

“It doesn’t just look like it. It is a perfect night! Whatsa matter? Saw anything that makes you think otherwise?”
