❝ KIM SIBLINGS ❞

"Seonghwa, can you do me a favor?" Hongjoong questioned, eyes locked at the other who's brushing his hair, "what is it?" Seonghwa replied, his eyes locked on the other as well. The young Kim thought for a while and replied, "can you accompany me to Black Jade?"

After minutes of talking to each other, Seonghwa agreed on Hongjoong's favor, it's not that he couldn't refuse. Currently, both of them are preparing for the travel. They're gonna stay at the Black Jade for two days. "My siblings might visit the place too, since..." Hongjoong cutted off, realizing what he was trying to spill, "you have siblings? Cool!" Seonghwa beamed, intentionally ignoring the cut off.

"Hyuka, Jimin-hyung, I'll accompany Hongjoong to Black Jade, please take care the Starless for two days. Thank you." Seonghwa spoke geniually, earning a smile from Jimin and a excited nod from Hueningkai. The captain waved good bye to his hyung and younger friend, then dashed beside Hongjoong who's walking ahead of him.

They were walking for 15 minutes which confused Seonghwa. "Are we using a carriage or are we gonna walk?" The captain asked, his hands interwining with the young Kim, "it's close, we have our own transportation to Black Jade. If we use different type, they won't let us in." Hongjoong replied, dragging Seonghwa to a hidden and dark place.

After walking through the itchy bushes, Hongjoong revealed a large beige carriage, a type of carriage which color shines but doesn't stand out at all. "How long is this hiding here?" Seonghwa questioned, looking puzzled. He scouts the whole village and sometimes scouts the outside, but never saw the carriage there. "Just now. I told Taeyong-hyung to bring it right here." Hongjoong replied, dragging the captain towards the carriage.

The two went inside the carriage, suddenly a person popped out of nowhere, surprising the young Park. "Hyung! Let's go!" The young Kim shouted, earning a nod from a slim guy. As his lover shouted, the transportation began to move. "Aren't we gonna get that much attention?" Seonghwa asked, earning a shook from Hongjoong who's head is resting on him.

It's been hours since they left Starless, unlike the way to Raven's Base, the way to Black Jade is empty. It's all trees, grass and dry leaves scattered around the place. There were plenty of flowers around the bushes which made Seonghwa smile. "Kinda boring, isn't it?" The young Kim suddenly uttered, now looking at Seonghwa, "hmmm, not that much. Nature is a pique of my interest." The captain replied, smiling at Hongjoong.

They saw a lot of animals like deer, sheeps and different type of birds. More hour passed, Hongjoong was quite surprised to know that Seonghwa doesn't easily get bored at long trips, for him, it's hell.

"You know Seonghwa, I hate long trips. It takes the shit out of me." Hongjoong informed, looking at the grassy lands outside, "really? Personally, I don't have problems with long trips. I can find something good to enjoy while waiting." Seonghwa responded, eyes fixtated at the other man who was sight seeing. The young Kim nodded and replied, "well good for you. For now, I can't stand this. My ass feels numb." in which made Seonghwa laugh.

"We are here, Yo- Hongjoong!" Taeyong suddenly burst out, earning a glare from Hongjoong. "You can roam around if you want hyung. Enjoy." Hongjoong spoke, giving Taeyong a threatning the elder but didn't work, "and you, let's go." The young Kim added, pulling Seonghwa into a close tavern.

As they entered the tavern, the loud music greeted them, a lot of people were singing and dancing along with the music. The young Kim observed the whole place, then pulled the other once again through the crowds until both of them reached a solemn place. "Who's place is this?" The captain questioned, hands tightly holding Hongjoong's, "my father's brother." The Kim replied, walking. Then, both of them saw a luminosity into a one room.

"That must be it."

Seonghwa thought as Hongjoong pulled him towards the room with the standing out light. There, a man met them with a strong gaze. "Hongjoong, my favorite gangster!" He called, engulfing the young Kim into a hug, Hongjoong rolled his eyes that made the man laugh. "By the way, who is this fancy styling gentleman?" He inquired, scanning Seonghwa from head to toe, "I'm Park Seonghwa." The captain stated, earning a nod from the guy. "I'm Kim Jiyong, the owner of this place!" The guy named Jiyong, stated.

While Hongjoong and Jiyong were having a talk, Seonghwa stayed beside Hongjoong. Though it must be a private conversation, the young Kim insisted him to sit beside him. "By the way, Seonghwa, are you related to Park Haewon?" Jiyong suddenly question, taking a back the other. It took him minutes to answer, "sh-she's my mother.." he replied, earning a nod from Jiyong.

"Haewon. I think I heard this from somewhere."

Hongjoong thought but neglected it. He held Seonghwa's hand tight, which Jiyong didn't notice since he was busy chuging a beer. "Anyway, Jongin and Jennie is at Junmyeon's Inn." The elder Kim informed, alerting Hongjoong. He suddenly remembered why he was there. "Yeah thanks. We'll be going now, take care of yourself, old man." The young Kim spoke, earning a light hearted laugh from Jiyong.

To their way out, Hongjoong still feels an uneasy tense from Seonghwa just by how the other held his hand. "Something bothering you, Park?" Hongjoong questioned, Seonghwa just shooked his head and smiled, "if something bothers you, tell me right away." The young Kim spoke gently. Suddenly, Seonghwa's hand became freely around his compared earlier.

Barging inside Junmyeon's Inn, a lot of people were checking in and out, good thing it didn't bother them. "Hyung, where's Jennie-noona and Jongin-hyung?" Hongjoong asked the assigned person at the cashier. Seonghwa assumes that this is the owner of thr place. "Room 30, upper." The man replied, smiling at Hongjoong.

The two went up instantly, as they walked closer to the mentioned room, Hongjoong's courage began to shrink. This causes him to walk backwards, walk away from the room. Just earlier he wanted to meet his siblings, but now, it all disappeared. "I may not know what's happening between you and your siblings, but you have to face them." Seonghwa uttered, acquiring a loud sigh from Hongjoong.

"Fuck it, fuck this, fuck everything."

He thought, then barged to the designated room. There revealed Jongin and Jennie who was also waiting, hoping, for him. "Hongjoong... you're okay.." Jennie stated, tears began to roll over her cheeks. She imediatley hugged her younger sibling. "I'm sorry. Sorry for not informing you." The youngest Kim in the room apologized, feeling guilty, "no, no, no, it's okay. As long as you're doing well, it's okay for me and your hyung." She replied, crying at her young brother's shoulder.

While Jennie is crying, Jongin walked closer to the unfamiliar face. "Who are you?" Jongin questioned, which made Seonghwa tense, "hyung, that's Park Seonghwa." Hongjoong replied, breaking his and Jennie's long hug, "he's my boyfriend." He added, shocking the two. Jongin widened his eyes and shooked his head, "I didn't knew that you'll fell in love." The elder Kim teased, causing Jennie to laugh and earning a glare from Hongjoong.

"This is them. Wow, Mr. and Mrs. Kim has good genes huh?"

Seonghwa thought, observing how good looking the three Kim in front of him.

After discussing little things, the three Kims decided to have drink since they were reunited. "I won't get too much drink, we will go home by 8pm." Jongin stated, earning a nod from Jennie and Hongjoong. Then, the two started to drink and tell stories to each other. "Hey you, Park right? Take care of my brother." The elder Kim uttered, voice with a hint of threat. "I will give him my utmost care." Seonghwa replied, earning a nod from Jongin who started drinking too.

It was 7:30pm when the Kims decided to stop drinking. "Hey, don't take away my sister from me!" Hongjoong yelled, pulling away from Seonghwa's grasp, "Kim, your sister will just take a rest." Seonghwa informed, calming the hyper drunk. "Park, we will be leaving in a half of an hour. Tell Hongjoong to be cautious around and tell him we already left." Jongin notified, acquiring an obidient nod from Seonghwa.

Reaching a special room, Seonghwa gently placed the younger at the bed. He was red and loud. When Seonghwa was about to turn off the lights, Hongjoong pulled him back. The light wasn't that bright, the place is dim but you can still see. "Don't. I'm scared of the dark." Said Hongjoong, still holding at Seonghwa's blouse, "alright." Seonghwa replied, then went back to the bed.

"Seonghwa... thank you for loving me. Earlier, me and Jennie-noona were talking about things. She told me that I changed a lot, my voice became a little soft and my gaze became softer..." Hongjoong spilled, intriguing Seonghwa, "Nothing special about the conversation really. What I am trying to say is, I wanna live with you. I wanna be with you until my last breath. Until to my last to everything." The young Kim added, smiling, "I love you, Park Seonghwa." There, Hongjoong eyes fell, drifting to sleep.

"I love you too, Kim Hongjoong. Sleeptight."

Seonghwa smiled, then placed a soft peck at Hongjoong's forehead and beside his nose.
