[CONTENTID1]Forgive me for the lack of update. And for this long chapter. Looks like I have to split it. (again) =="

The next chapter has done actually but it needs a little polish so maybe I will post it tomorrow. ^^

For this time, enjoy ... ;)

"Hyung, can we talk?"

Seunghyun lifted his head up from the screen, once again clutching his phone close. The sight caught Jiyong's attention with his curiosity building up as the dragon wondered what could be so interesting with the phone until Seunghyun couldn't even be separated with it.

"Yeah, what is it?"

Seunghyun was not someone who was fond of making eye contact while speaking which made it difficult for others to see the emotions in his notorious glaring eyes. However, just by the look on his face Jiyong could tell how pleased and happy the eldest was.

Hesitation filled up the dragon but he knew that sooner or later someone needed to ask Seunghyun the question behind his out of sudden changes in behavior.

"I'm just .... wondering, did you have enough sleep hyung?"

"W-what?" Seunghyun flustered. Truthfully, he didn't expect that from the leader. Jiyong blatantly asked the question with a poker face but no one knew how frantic his heartbeat went which was filled with worrisome and fear.

When it seemed like Seunghyun still couldn't grasp his question, Jiyong asked again,

"Well, how about your appetite? Did you eat well? Have you lost some weight recently? When was the last time you drunk, hyung?" The questions were piling up; adding more confusion in Seunghyun's head. He still didn't get Jiyong's point by asking those questions.

"Could you just get straight to the point, Jiyong? I can't understand your metaphor. It's too difficult and over poetry." Uttered Seunghyun with some chuckles emitted from him. Perhaps he didn't see it but Jiyong and the others noticed the changes in him.

"Well, what I'm trying to say is about your behavior nowadays hyung. You are too .... happy. You make joke, laughing, tell story and take care of Seungri for us. I'm just being curious about you. Are you alright or not, hyung?"

Jiyong spoke his true intention; he knew that he needed to talk with Seunghyun about the matter. Perhaps his words could make Seunghyun felt offensive but he couldn't let the matter passed by again.

Youngbae and few of their friends including Yang Hyun Suk himself had consulted with Jiyong about Seunghyun's condition after Daesung's death. The changes in Seunghyun was worrying them and Jiyong was concerned too. As the leader, Jiyong tried to search for some information about Seunghyun's state and he decided to ask the eldest himself to make sure that Seunghyun wasn't in a severe depression.

Hearing Jiyong's words, Seunghyun stayed silent. He stood up from his seat with a frown plastered on his face and eyes showed some anger; clearly he was offended with Jiyong's words.

"So what? I can't be happy anymore? You want me to cry and scream every second? Is that what did you want, Jiyong?"

Seunghyun didn't scream; not yet but the coldness and venom in his words made Jiyong gulped down his fear. He should have been more careful with his words earlier. Now Jiyong had to face the wrath of Seunghyun.

"No, I-I didn't mean it that way. What I mean is-"

"That's enough!" Shouted Seunghyun in anger. His voice roared through the house; catching Youngbae's attention who was in his room.

"Is it wrong for me to at least smiling? Maybe it is too early for me to change but is it wrong? Yes I know that Daesung is dead, he is gone and won't come back to us but at least let me be happy this time! Can't I, Jiyong? Can't I?" Tears were making its way down Seunghyun's handsome face. His red eyes which filled with anger and solitude stabbed Jiyong's heart in every way that it could.

"Hyung trust me, that is not what I mean. Of course you can be happy, there's nothing wrong in that. It's just, it is too sudden and I thought that you hav--"

"I have what? Forgot about him? You think I have forgot about Daesung?" The tears flowed mercilessly from Seunghyun's eyes with no sign of stopping. And once again, the guilt and fear strike through Jiyong's heart at his stupidity of asking such a question to the eldest.

Jiyong wanted to say something but nothing came out. In the end, he just let Seunghyun talked.

"Jiyong, you know what kind of feelings that I had for Daesung. No matter what will happen, I will never forget about him; even though he is gone now the feelings that I had for him will never change. I love him, Jiyong. Very much and his death pained me and it still does. How could you say that I have forgot about him; the only person that I care about the most in my life? How could you even think like that?"

And now, Jiyong was the one who cried. He'd always knew what kind of relationship that both Seunghyun and Daesung had and hearing the eldest confession just now made him more guilty for accusing Seunghyun of something that he would never committed.

Watching the vulnerable Seunghyun in front of him, Jiyong collected the crying mess into his embrace; hoping that his hug could lessen the sadness in Seunghyun. The eldest accepted it nonetheless and letting the dragon embraced him.

"I'm sorry, hyung. I shouldn't have ask you that when I knew you'll be hurt with it. I thought that maybe you have found someone else and forgot about Daesung. I'm such a stupid for thinking like that about you. I'm sorry hyung, for accusing you like that."

Jiyong said sorry towards Seunghyun with hope that the eldest would forgive him. Both of them cried; weeping for the lost of beloved brother with Youngbae who was watching silently from behind his room's door which was slightly ajar.

"Alright then, hyung. We'll be there in 10 minutes."
