When Nichkhun arrived without any reception he had a bad feeling.
 

"Minjun hyung"
 

He call as he walked into the kitchen and found his older brother on the couch half asleep.
 

"Hyung. Are you okay?"
 

He asked in relief as Minjun's eyes opened
 

"I'm fine, Khun, but Woo ..."
 

Nichkhun frowned.
 

The boy was in his bed with some healing marks on his face, chest, and arm.
 

"What happened to him?"
 

Khun asked sitting down next to Wooyoung
 

"I don't know, as soon as he arrived he fell unconscious. The doctor says he has bruises on his abdomen and his head. His arm was almost fractured. Did you see anything strange this morning?"
 

Minjun asked but Khun didn't respond
 

"Anyway, go to sleep and I'll take care of him."
 

"N-No min, I will."
 

Minjun frowned
 

"But I'm the one who shouldn't sleep"
 

Minjun joked and Nichkhun smiled
 

"I know, but I don't feel good leaving him alone."
 

He explain the eldest, if Minjun fell asleep and Woo had some complication there would be no one to watch him so he accepted and went to his room.
Nichkhun sighed when he was alone with the child and thought of the incident this morning, Woo didn't look well at all when he saw him approaching but why didn't he do anything? Maybe because he didn't care enough or maybe he did but wanted to talk to the child before creating any conjecture.
Whatever it was, someone had hurt Wooyoung and that annoyed Nichkhun.

"H-Hyung"
 

Wooyoung whispered with a slight shake of his head and Nichkhun held his hand.
 

"Here i am, woo"
 

He whisper. Taking away the hair from the younger man's forehead.
 

"h-hyung"
 

He spoke again as his eyes opened slightly. His cheeks flushed a most adorable red when he saw the chasm between them.

"Where is Minjun hyung?"

He asked trying to get up but Nichkhun put his hand on his back to help.

"Be carefully"
 

He said helping him to lean

"Hyung went upstairs. What happened?"
 

Wooyoung caressed his own cheek and exhaled with his eyes closed.
 

"Nothing"
 

He said looking at Nichkhun who had an annoying expression on his beautiful face.
 

"Wooyoung, you have the right to do whatever you want but I will not accept these things while you live here"
 

Wooyoung looked at his lap without saying a word for a long time, Nichkhun thought of leaving when he saw a drop drop into the clenched fists and then a couple more.
 

"Woo..."
 

"It's the fault of this damn gift... I have no idea why you call it that, it's crap. People ... they don't accept me and they look at me as if it were a phenomenon but they annoy me if there is something good with me. I don't know what I did wrong, I was just a stupid abandoned child. Why envy me?"

"Wooyoung, at school ... Did they do this to you? The other guys"
 

"No matter hyung, as long as you don't defend me, I'll be fine; It's not like he's the only one hurt."
 

"No Wooyoung!"
 

Nichkhun hugged Wooyoung to his chest.
 

"Of course it's a gift, if it was not for that I would not have met you. N-Not only me, Minjun thinks the same and we love you too much so I can't accept this."

Wooyoung was still in shock as Nichkhun wiped away his tears.
 

"I'm going to school tomorrow and..."
 

"No Khun hyung, they could misunderstand it"
 

"I don't care, they will not come near you again"
 

Nichkhun looked at him making it clear he wouldn't accept any denials.
 

"Now sleep you have to rest"

Nichkhun stayed there until Woo fell asleep, had never seen Wooyoung sleep before but for some reason that scene made his heart shudder.

The next day Wooyoung was nervous when he got into the car of Nichkhun who insisted on taking him
 

"You'll be fine, you don't have to be so nervous"
 

Nichkhun took his hand and didn't let him go all the way.
 

"Hyung, don't get in trouble please. I can..."
 

Wooyoung said when he was about to leave.
 

"I'll be good, baby. Don't worry"
 

Nichkhun leaned down and kissed Wooyoung's forehead that shuddered at the touch.
 

"Now go"
 

Nichkhun came out first and then Wooyoung who waved his hand away.
 

Nichkhun meanwhile stared at the boys entering the school, a group of four boys approached the entrance with some bruises on their faces.
 

"There are you"
 

He told the young men and they turned to look at him with arrogant gestures.
 

"Who are you?"
 

One of them asked, but another took him by the shoulder and whispered something.
 

"It's the boyfriend of the little ghost"
 

Another of them mocked and Nichkhun laughed.
 

"Yes I am"
 

He said moving closer
 

"What are you looking for with us?"
 

The boy ask arrogantly and Nichkhun looked at the subject with a terrifying smile.
 

"I just want to ask you to leave Wooyoung alone, Ah, because that's his name so I want you and your friends call him that."
 

"You're going to force us?"
 

"Maybe, I do it as a little obligatory request."
 

The boys laughed and one of them wanted to hit him but Nichkhun stopped him by throwing him to the floor.
 

"I'm talking seriously, you'd better believe me"
 

Nichkhun adjusted his suit and turned around.
 

"It's abnormal. Don't you know? See spirits and things"

Said the boy in the floor and Nichkhun walked over to him, holding him by the collar of his shirt against the wall.

"I told you his name is Wooyoung. Repeat it What is his name?"
 

"W-Wooyoung"
 

The subject stammered, and Nichkhun released him and went back on his way.

*-*-*-*

Nichkhun was excited when he went to pick up Wooyoung especially when the younger boy seemed surprised to see him at the entrance to the school.
 

"Hyung What are you doing here?"
 

Wooyoung asked tilting his head
 

"Ah? Nothing, I just came for you. How was school?"
 

He ask inviting Wooyoung into the car.
 

"Well ... today something strange happened"
 

"A new friend?"
 

Khun asked but Woo just smiled
 

"No, something even stranger. Today the boys called me Wooyoung for the first time"
 

He said a little embarrassed about the last time someone called him by name
 

"Seriously? That sounds great"
 

Nichkhun smiled tying his seat belt.
 

"Yes... it was very strange"
 

Wooyoung pulled out his cell phone and started to fiddle while the car was .
 

On the way Wooyoung was talking about what he wanted to do at the beginning of the summer break with the others.
 

"We arrived"
 

Nichkhun said when his laughter quieted by the madness the boy said.
 

"Hyung"

Wooyoung said in a second, but when Nichkhun was about to answer, Wooyoung opened the car door and ran inside the house. Nichkhun was shocked for a moment when he left the car where he was and ran to the house behind Wooyoung.
 

When he entered, he saw Wooyoung holding Minjun on the floor.
 

"What's going on?"
 

Nichkhun entered the room quickly approaching Minjun taking his pulse.
 

"He went back to sleep ... it's only been four days"
 

"No, it's not like that."
 

Wooyoung got up and hurried out of the house, Nichkhun for his part was confused with Minjun in his lap.

Wooyoung returned to his old home, almost breathless, looking everywhere.
 

"Hyung!"
 

he cried with tears in her face.
 

"Hyung!"
 

The house was a little dilapidated, after Minjun persuaded him to stay with him and Nichkhun had not visited the place ...
 

"Hyung..."
 

He whispered on his knees.
 

He had seen it, there was something different in Minjun's body, a bad feeling hit him when he saw the house and could only think of what the spirit of the old house said to the side of the road: An empty body like Minjun was possible that he lost his soul forever.
 

He was there until night fell and the cold began to descend.
 

"You should go home"
 

Someone whispered behind him but Wooyoung didn't look, knew that it was some spirit that had seen everything.
 

He rose from the floor and looked around at the spirits who looked at him in surprise.
 

"Have you seen hyung?"
 

He asked with his tears at the edge of his eyes, but they all denied it.
 

"What am I going to do now?"

He walked back to Nichkhun's house in silence but when he saw the lights on he felt sick, how could he tell Nichkhun?
 

He stood outside with his hand on the door handle, listened to Nichkhun in the kitchen so he looked out the window at the older man serving dinner, there were two plates on the table and his heart shrank.
 

"I'm sorry Khun hyung, I can't go back unless I bring hyung with me"
 

He turned in silence and left.

I'm sorry! :c I know it's very short but because it's the Khunwoo story I thought adding something else would be out of place.
