Prologue

He walks up to porch and checks the time. After a quick glance at his watch He sees it's a quarter after 2, I'm in deep if Seunghyun is up. He opens the door deathly quiet and peaks in, the coast is clear. Once in he closes the door just as quietly as he opened it and proceeds to his room. Taking one quiet step at a time But just as he gets to his room do He's pinned against the wall.

! He hisses in pain. "Where were you?" My brother's deep voice booms in my ear. "A friend's." The teen lies smoothly. He slams me against the wall again. "Liar, Demetrius saw you at Cowgirl." (Bear with me) "Youngbae you have no business in a strip club." "That should be least of your worries." Taeyang scoffs. "You're right, the problem is you leaving anytime you want to and coming back anytime you want to-" His brother counters.

He finally let go. "To solve this you're grounded for 3 months or until I see an improvement." "WHAT?!, you can't do that it's so unfair!" He folds his arms over his chest and gives the sibling a stern look. "I'm the oldest and whatever I say goes." "It'll just be easier if I leave!" Youngbae yells out angrily.

He turns into his room and slams the door. He stares at the door for a few moments and goes to his drawers and takes out a weeks of clothes. "Will you come back?" Frightened at the unnoticed figure he turns to see his other brother Jiyong laying on his bed like a emotionless puppet. He walks over to him a curls up beside him facing away from him. After a deep sigh he finally says "I don't know, maybe." (Fully aware he was.) Jiyong wrapped an arm around the kid and hugs him tight. "I couldn't take it if I lost you, neither could Seunghyun." Youngbae chuckled "I'm not dying." But the memory of his parents came haunting his thoughts. Quickly shaking it off he get up quickly grabs his bag and skateboard and makes way toward the door. "I love Ji, be safe."

Youngbae knew exactly where he was going so he walked cause it was close. He walked down a couple of streets till he got to his destination and traveled down the alleyway. It was quiet, so he made haste getting to the apartment. He climbed up the fire escape. Youngbae got on the 4 floor and knocked on the window, He saw the window slide up and he was was pulled through and thrown on the bed. The window is closed and the lights are . To Youngbae surprise his friend was wearing nothing but boxers. "Eh, what are you doing here Tae?"

The boy questions while rubbing his eyes. But, he can barely answer, he stuck in his sinful thoughts about his good friend. He finally answers "I need to crash here for a couple days is that fine Seungri?" He flashes a grin at the boy knowing he would agree. "It's whatever Taeyang, but next time come at a time when I'm awake." "Where do I sleep?" "On the bed with me, why ask such a stupid question." Tae nods. He begins to strip down into his boxers also, he lays facing the window while Seungri faced the other way. "So why'd you leave?" Sighing he answered the question. "I felt like I needed to leave, I couldn't do anything but take up space. Maybe it would be better on them." Seungri flipped over and wrapped his arm around around trying not let his secret feelings get the best of him. "Tae stop being so naive, your brothers are the only family you have left. They want you around." Silent tears rolled down Youngbae's face because he knew Seungri was right but a little voice in the back of his head told him he was lying.
