Chapter 153: If they grew apart...

Dongwoo knocked on the twins’ lounge.

"Seojin, Seojun? It’s me." Dongwoo said and the door swung right open.

"Hyung." Seojun called as he opened the door.

He had this bright smile that made his grey eyes glimmer in the middle of the day. It was like looking at a long-time lover.

’Well, I am his lover. So...’

He walked in and saw Seojin looking through some documents with Minwoo. Surprisingly, he wasn’t scowling his eyes or making disgusted looks at Minwoo.

Rather, it was just his serious face. No smiles, just serious, as he should be when it comes to work.

’I’m glad they took my advice to heart.’ Dongwoo thought and felt Seojun’s hand on his shoulders.

"Hyung, have you been working hard?" He asked, gently kneading his shoulders in an attempt to massage him.

"Ah, not really. I haven’t started yet. I can’t exactly work if you two are absent, right?" He smiled.

"Right, but Hyung, why do you already look tired?" Seojun asked, noticing the exhaustion on Dongwoo’s face and Dongwoo darted his eyes, feeling even more depleted at the question.

"Ah, I wonder."

"Is anyone making things hard for you?" Seojun suddenly asked in a frenzy. "Is it that new assistant of yours? Tell me, Hyung. I’ll go set them right."

"Don’t act like that, Seojun. Consider your image." Dongwoo’s aid, laughing softly. "And no one’s making trouble for me."

"Tch."

He made a face. A face filled with dissatisfaction as he folded his arms.

Why did it seem like Seojun wanted Dongwoo to say his new assistant was making trouble?

’It’s just my imagination, right?’ Dongwoo thought, because if it wasn’t then it only meant Seojun was looking for excuses to discard Eunwoo before even meeting him.

"Ah, Hyung, when did you get here?" Seojin asked as he looked up from the documents he had been so deeply engrossed in.

He left it with Minwoo and went to Dongwoo, almost hugging him when Dongwoo raised his hand to stop him.

He glanced at Minwoo. If he saw that then he would definitely suspect their relationship.

Because of this, Seojin clicked his tongue and almost glared at Minwoo but Dongwoo came up with an idea to calm him down.

While Minwoo wasn’t looking, he went on his toes and planted a kiss on both of their cheeks.

It was done so fast that they did not have time to react. But that was Dongwoo’s plan.

He didn’t want them to have time to react so he did it so fast and walked away from them.

"So," he continued, clearing his throat to calm the blush on his cheek. "I heard ’Times’ got your measurements late so you can’t start with their brand yet." He said but the twins were still so stunned that they couldn’t respond and simply stared at him.

Dongwoo looked away. Maybe he went a little too far with that gesture.

But he just wanted to motivate them a bit and maybe replenish their depleted energy.

Ah, maybe he replenished the wrong energy and gave them the wrong idea. He hoped they wouldn’t get hard and ask him for sex out of nowhere.

They were on a tight schedule as it was.

"Good day, Lee Dongwoo." Minwoo greeted, interrupting whatever could’ve transpired between them and Dongwoo looked up.

"Ah, good day." Dongwoo responded.

Minwoo was looking sharp as always. From his head to his toe, there was nothing out of place with him.

Dongwoo was almost tempted to look at his own self in the mirror and compare his looks. But he didn’t really need a mirror. Only from a glance, he could tell he was the shabby one.

Ouch.

"Would you like me to discuss the twin’s schedule with you? We were just rounding up on this month’s activities."

"Ah, the months already full?" Dongwoo asked, going over to look at the schedule.

"Yes, ranging from brand ambassadors to runways."

"Ah, they were invited to runways as well?" Dongwoo was stunned, and as Minwoo spoke more about the schedule, calling brand and company names that were so big that Dongwoo couldn’t help but feel that the twins picked out names that would bring them huge and quick fame.

Yes, he realized that a lot of big names invested in the twins and were aiming to sponsor them in the long run, thanks to the advertisement on the day of their debut, but he did not expect it to range this far.

They were even going to attend runways in France, New York, and the like. It was wild.

Dongwoo looked up at the twins, who were conversing among themselves in a low tone.

Just what were they thinking when they chose all those gigs?

And just like this, they would be heading to big places, making huge waves wherever they landed. And then... They may not have time for him anymore.

With that thought, he grew sad.

He couldn’t be their photographer all the way and they would definitely have to meet new people and work where he wasn’t around. When that happened, he and the twins just might go their different ways.

And maybe this love they had for him would be substituted somehow. After all, people change, and the human heart is no exception to change.

He felt a huge lump on his chest and he swallowed.

If they grew apart... What would become of him?

It was hard to think of and his heart grew heavy. No, he didn’t want to think of it. He wished for the best for them. He wished they would see the light of different places and he didn’t want to be their burden.

He could do well and watch them from where he was.

Of course, he never expected them to stick with him throughout his and their career but he never thought they would be parting ways so soon. He never thought they would shoot to fame so quickly and in such a massive way.

It was a good thing, and he was happy for them, but... What was that nagging feeling in his chest? The feeling like he didn’t want to let go. He didn’t want to... Let go?

He couldn’t stop the throbbing that came with that thought. He bit his lip.

"Are you okay?" Minwoo asked, and Dongwoo nodded. Still, he didn’t stop biting his lip.

Minwoo watched him and noticed something was wrong. Biting lip wasn’t exactly something one would do just because they felt like it.

"Manager." Seojun called and Minwoo raised his head. "Could you give us a moment?"

"Oh, uh, sure." Minwoo answered but took one good look at Dongwoo before looking away. "I’ll send the signed contracts to the legal team in the meantime." He lightly bowed his head at Dongwoo before leaving.

After he left, the twins turned to Dongwoo who tried hard not to show that he was disturbed by anything. But he couldn’t exactly fool them.

"What’s wrong, Hyung?" They asked but he shook his head, planning to gloss over it somehow.

"It... It’s nothing." He said but they couldn’t help but notice he was sad. Why?

"Hyung, are you unhappy with our choices?" Seojin asked. "If that’s it, we’ll call him back right away and change out a few."

"No." Dongwoo shook his head. "No, that’s not it."

"Then?" Seojun reached his hand out to softly caress his face. "Why do you look this way?"

"I’m just feeling selfish, that’s all." He blurted out but wished he hadn’t. He pressed his hand on his forehead and watched the twin’s confused as well as worried expressions. He shook his head. "Please, just forget about it. It’s nothing important."

But did he really think he could blurt out that word and walk away without the twins getting curious?

They couldn’t exactly let him be after knowing there was indeed something troubling him. They caught his hand and asked,

"What exactly is troubling you, Hyung?" Seojin asked.

"I said it’s nothing."

"Don’t lie, Hyung." Seojun snapped. "It hurts more to know you’re trying to hide your pain than knowing youre in pain."

"But I’m not in pain." Dongwoo stated and slowly lowered his head. "I told you. I just feel... Selfish."
