Chapter 35: Yeah, I guess a hug would be nice

I left the company and went straight home. It was almost evening but I needed the rest so as soon as I got home, I went straight to bed.

Lily crawled up to me and purred in my ear, probably asking me if I got fired already. Yeah, she was a bit sarcastic in my own interpretation.

I hugged her and luckily, she didn’t reject me and from there, I didn’t even know when I fell asleep.

I woke up to the constant knocking on my door.

"Who...?" I wondered.

It was probably evening but... Was I expecting anyone? Who could it be?

I dragged my lazy ass to the door while still feeling sleepy. I’d probably go back to sleep after seeing who was at the door.

The knocking became persistent and a bit alarming that I had to check the intercom to know who it was before actually opening the door.

"Who... Who is it?" I asked.

"Hyung." I heard Seojin’s voice and my sleepy eyes grew wide, finally seeing the twins at the other side of my door. "Are you okay? Why aren’t you answering your phone? I hope nothing bad happened to you. I was so worried. Hyung, please open the door."

His words came in all at once, making me confused. Why was he here and why did he look so worried?

’My phone. Did I get any missed calls?’ I wondered, walking away from the intercom to get the phone I had carelessly tossed on the couch on my arrival earlier. ’He said something about... MISSED CALLS?’ my eyes grew wide in shock.

There were over a hundred missed calls and all by two people. Did something happen? Why were they calling me so much?

"Uh, Seojin, I’m staring at my phone right now and I can see the missed calls. It’s... It’s a lot." I said, holding on to the voice button on the intercom.

"Why weren’t you picking up, Hyung? We were worried." I heard Seojun’s voice.

"I’m sorry to make you worry. It’s just that, after getting back from the company I went straight to bed. I... I didn’t put my phone next to me so I didn’t hear it ring. So-sorry."

"No need to apologize, Hyung. It’s not your fault for falling asleep." Seojin said and I let out a sigh of relief, as if glad they did not take it against me for not answering their calls. "Wait, Hyung, did you say you went straight to bed?" He asked and Seojun pressed his face closer to the intercom.

"Wait, does that mean Hyung hasn’t had dinner yet? This late?"

"Well, no." I said and checked the time on my phone, once again getting a widened eye by how shocked I was.

Ugh, there was no way to go back to sleep now. I was already fully awake and the time... How did I sleep so late into the night? It was midnight.

’I slept for how many hours, exactly?’

"Hyung, please open the door." Seojin pleaded but I didn’t want to. "We’re worried for you, Hyung."

"You don’t have to, Seojin." I said. "I... I already have what to eat in the fridge. Thank you for waking me up. I’ll just microwave it and go do some editing before going back to sleep. You boys... Should get some rest. I bet you’re just returning, seeing there’s still a little trace of makeup on you and..."

Ah, I was blabbering. I just needed to tell them off. They didn’t need to worry too much about me. I was completely fine too.

"Hyung," Seojun called. "If you’re locking yourself away because you’re scared then you don’t have to. We... We want to see Hyung too. We want to hug and comfort Hyung so that you know that we are always on your side."

"Hyung, you can see us right now but we can’t see you. It’s disheartening." Seojin said and my heart seemed to drop for a second. Ah, what was that? "Can’t we see your face?"

"We promise we’ll leave right after giving you a hug."

I thought about it. The twins were going to be persistent about it. They would stand on my door all night if they had to, just so they could see me.

They just go back, wasn’t it better to go home, take a bath, and relax? Why go through the trouble to see me?

A hug, uh?

"Yeah, I guess a hug would be nice." I accidentally said my thoughts out loud and they both smiled in glee. Well, I already said it so there was no need to take it back. "I’ll open the door but you two have to go home after the hug. It’s already late, okay?"

"Yes, Hyung." They both chorused.

Hah, I placed my hand on my head. These kids were still the same, no matter how I looked at it.

Was it really possible to grow up with the same obedience they used to have over 13 years ago? It’s crazy.

I opened the door and from their shoes, I slowly raised my gaze till I met their eyes. Their caring and compassionate eyes seemed to have only me in their view.

Well, I was the only one standing in front of them so of course I was the only one in their view.

"You... I don’t want anyone to see and create a rumor." I said, fully aware of their careers as models. "Let’s step in a bit. I know it’s just a hug but..."

"We understand, Hyung."

With that, I took a few steps backward and they followed in, closing the door behind themselves.

This was the first time I was allowing them into my house so it would only be natural that they look around a bit but they did not tear their gaze away from me for a single second until we were a bit far from the door.

Their gaze... It put me on the spot and I felt awkward. It was like they were scanning my entire existence with their eyes.

At that moment, a thought flashed through my mind.

What if they suddenly pulled me in and instead of hugging me like they promised, they kissed me instead? What would I do then?

I gulped. My thoughts were running wild again. What did I mean pull me in for a kiss? They certainly wouldn’t do that. They were far from being gay and that light hollow around them deserved to be given to a very pretty and passionate girl in the future.

Someone whom they could hold hands and walk with. They would go to a cafe together, have tears, and act all lovely dovey in the open.

And soon, after they were happily married, they would have kids. Kids that carried the same golden hair as them.

Yeah, that was the future I wished for these kids.

And for that to happen, I couldn’t cross the line.

"You two..." I said, a bit awkwardly and Seojin laughed.
