.twenty-five.

Fate: The First Meeting

That night, the two of them spent over a night at Taehyun’s apartment.

Seungyoon and Jinwoo.

“Achoo!”

Seungyoon sneezed and pulled out a tissue from the box nearby.

Taehyun walked out from the kitchen while carrying a tray with three cups of hot honey tea.

“I’m sorry, Seungyoon. If it was not because of me, you will not become sick like this.”

He then put the cups on the coffee table before took a seat beside Jinwoo.

“Gwenchana. Besides, it was so sudden and we both didn’t bring along an umbrella.”

Seungyoon smiled and reached for the hot tea.

“And thank you for the tea.”

“Me too.”

Jinwoo sipped down his tea and took the TV remote.

It was time for his favourite drama, ‘Goblin’ to be aired.

“So, you said you have something to tell me right?”

“Nae. It’s about my dreams actually.”

“Your dreams? What do you mean by that?”

Seungyoon nodded.

“I had always dreamt about you. But, please don’t get it wrong! What I meant is that, in my dreams, I was living your life. Do you get it? I felt like I was you in those dreams.”

“Jjinja? For real? Dae.bak. How can it possible?”

Then, they could hear sobbing.

It was Jinwoo.

“Hyung, waeyo?”

Heol.

Why the hell is he crying for?

“It’s Eun Tak. She already pulled out the sword from Kim Shin’s chest. And now, he’s gone!”

He continued crying and didn’t bother about his surroundings.

“Seungyoon, why don’t we continue at the balcony? Let us leave him for a while.”

Seungyoon nodded and followed Taehyun to the balcony.

It was such a nice apartment.

From the balcony itself, they could see the Seoul’s cityscape.

The sight was so beautiful, with all the glimmering lights here and there.

He sipped down the honey tea that was getting cold.

It tastes good.

No wonder Jinwoo hired him to become a barista at his café.

Such a skilful young man.

“So, what’s up with those dreams?”

Taehyun asked and sat down on one of the bean bags.

Seungyoon then took a seat beside him.

“I also don’t have any idea. And I can’t find what’s the relation between you and all my dreams.”

That boy was looking at him in amusement.

As if it was the most interesting story on earth.

“Hurm, I agreed with you. How come I can appear in your dreams? We just met like, not even a month.”

Taehyun scratched his head in disbelief.

“And to be exact, we just talked yesterday. So, how on earth can it happen?”

Seungyoon threw a look across the balcony to the pitch-black sky.

He could just shrug his shoulders.

It was beyond his mind to think about all the possible answers to Taehyun’s question.

“Seungyoon, are you thinking what I’m thinking?”

“What?”

“I think, we’re both related.”

That’s it!

They might be related.

And it made sense as he once dreamt about his mother and Taehyun.

But, in what possible way?

“So, it means that we’re brothers? Daebak.”

“No, it can’t be. My parents never get married to anyone else.”

Taehyun recalled back his memories and nodded.

“Yeah, me too.”

He then stood up before screamed.

“Are we cousins? It does make sense, isn’t it?”

“Wait, hold on. From what I know, I only have one aunt, who is Jinwoo’s hyung mom. And my father is the only child in his family.”

Seungyoon looked straight into Taehyun’s eyes.

As if signalling that what Taehyun said made no sense.

“Hyung, what do you think?”

Seungyoon asked Jinwoo as he landed onto the bed.

“About what?”

He then reached for Taehyun’s teddy bear at the bedhead and fixed his eyes on Seungyoon.

“About me and Taehyun. Because we think we might be related to each other.”

Jinwoo’s eyes grew in excitement.

“Are you brothers? For real?”

He sounded so excited and shot up from his position.

“Or are we cousins?”

“Hyung, we already thought of these possibilities, but they made no sense at all.”

Seungyoon lied down onto the bed while looking up at the ceiling.

Since both of them were staying at Taehyun’s place, Taehyun had volunteered himself to sleep in the living room.

At first, they were hesitated but followed suit as Taehyun insisted them to sleep in his room.

“Yoonie, I couldn’t think anymore. I’m so sleepy.”

He yawned before lied onto the fluffy bed.

“Oh, it’s so comfy! I don’t want to go back.”

Seungyoon then lied down beside his cousin and his mind was wandering everywhere.

“Hyung, how can we solve this? Ah, this matter is so complicated.”

After a few moments, Seungyoon realized that Jinwoo was already asleep.

“Heol, hyung. I was talking to you.”

Seungyoon let out a heavy sigh and changed his position to the left.

He was about to sleep when he heard a knock on the door.

Who could it be?

He took a look at the clock on the bedside table, before realized it was 3.40 a.m.

Gulp!

Am I dreaming again?

He then pinched his left arm and let out a small shriek.

It’s hurt!

So, it means that he wasn’t dreaming at all.

“Who’s that?”

No answer.

Then, the door had been knocked again.

Seungyoon braced himself to walk towards the door.

Before that, he managed to grab a candle stand as protection.

Who knows, it might be a robber.

At the moment he opened the door, Taehyun dashed into the room.

“Taehyun? You’re not asleep yet?”

He got no answer from that boy.

Taehyun then continued walking before tripped himself over the rug.

He felt flat on his face and Seungyoon was so surprised that he didn’t manage to do anything.

“Ouch!”

“Taehyun-ah, are you okay?”

He quickly helped Taehyun to get up on his feet.

“Where am I? How can I ended in this room?”

Suddenly, Taehyun could feel something ran down from his nose.

Blood.

“Oh gosh, you’re bleeding! Ottoke??”

Seungyoon was in a panic and walked back and forth.

He then tried to wake Jinwoo up but Taehyun insisted him not to.

“Let him be. It just a small matter.”

Taehyun tried to get up but failed.

Luckily, Seungyoon managed to catch him from falling.

“Let me bring you to the living room.”

Taehyun nodded and let Seungyoon led the way.

“Sorry for disturbing you at this time. Mianhe.”

“It’s okay. Have no worries.”

Seungyoon put Taehyun down onto the sofa.

Taehyun was about to tilt his head up when Seungyoon stopped him.

“You shouldn’t tilt your head up, Tae. Just sit up straight and breathe through your mouth.”

Taehyun then sat up straight and did exactly what Seungyoon told him to do.

“Waeyo?”

“This is to prevent the blood from going down the back of your throat. And, do you have an ice pack?”

While pressing a tissue against his nostrils, Taehyun pointed to the fridge.

With his condition at that moment, it was hard for him to speak.

Seungyoon took out an ice pack from the fridge and brought it to the living room.

”Okay, now take this ice pack and put it on your nose’s bridge. The blood will stop flowing soon.”

He then handed the ice pack that was wrapped in a small towel to Taehyun.

“Thank you, Seungyoon-ah. By the way, how come you know so much on how to stop the bleeding?”

Taehyun twitched a bit at his seat as the ice pack touched his nose.

“I used to join Health and Sports Club at my school back then. There’s where I learn a bit about some things that need to be done for any emergency.”

“Oh, I see. By the way, I think I can be alone.”

Seungyoon leaned back and yawned.

“It’s okay. I’ll accompany you until your nose stops bleeding.”

But later on, Seungyoon could not remember exactly when he fell asleep.
