Chapter 294: Dongsaeng, don’t lag behind

"June is almost over." Dongwoo said, "But it’s not getting any less hotter in the day." He glanced at Minwoo walking beside him. "Are you okay covering up like that?"

Minwoo, who was wearing a turtle neck long sleeve, shook his head and said,

"I’m fine." He looked at Dongwoo and snickered. "How ’bout you? You’re covered up as much as me."

Dongwoo pursed his lips. He, too, was wearing a turtle neck long sleeve and even had a scarf around his neck.

"Ah, this is..."

"Ooh, they left marks all over you, I can tell." He said and nudged Dongwoo’s shoulder with his, smiling cheekily. "We both had our fair share of a rough night. Getting loved by two guys is not easy," he laughed.

Dongwoo blushed. Even if it was a fact, getting told made his heart flutter.

They had finally left the comfort of their beds and were headed for the mall, planning to get both things they needed and didn’t really need.

It was a great way to spend time together.

So, they didn’t really take a taxi or drive.

(Dongwoo doesn’t know how to drive but Minwoo can.)

"Hm, so, how are you and Sungho doing?" Dongwoo suddenly asked and Minwoo choked on nothing. He started coughing.

Dongwoo patted his back but Minwoo shook his head that he was fine and raised his head,

"What?"

"Well, you two seem to get along quite well," Dongwoo said, but it was just a guess. He had no idea how they were in their relationship. But he was sure of one thing. "You two are very compatible."

"Where did that come from?" Minwoo asked, surprised that Dongwoo would suddenly say they were compatible but Dongwoo shrugged his shoulders and looked forward.

"It’s not like I’m an expert in relationships," he said. "...but you seem to like Sungho and if you’re happy, then I’m glad for you."

With that, he walked on but Minwoo paused in his tracks, wondering why Dongwoo would say that.

Did he look happy with Sungho? But he doubted Dongwoo had ever seen them together so why did he make that statement?

And... He liked Sungho?

His heart started racing all of a sudden and he felt a sudden flutter in his stomach. What was it? Why did it feel so... Comfortable?

The thought of him liking Sungho made his heart flutter like there were butterflies in his stomach.

His face lightly flushed and Dongwoo glanced back at him to see him spacing out.

He understood that look on his face quite well and smiled softly.

"Dongsaeng, don’t lag behind." He called out, snapping Minwoo from his thoughts. "You won’t figure out your feelings just by standing in one spot."

Minwoo blushed and hurried towards him.

"Who said I had feelings?" He pouted and then took Dongwoo’s hand. "And why did you call me ’Dongsaeng all of a sudden?"

(Dongsaeng means younger brother, just as Hyung means older brother)

"Well, I just felt like it." Dongwoo said and patted his head.

"You’re teasing me, aren’t you?"

"Hehe, maybe."

"And there’s," he blushed, "Nothing much going on between Sungho and I."

Dongwoo glanced at him through the corners of his eye and said,

"I guess there’s always a starting point." He said.

"What does that mean?"

"You’ll figure it out when you’re older." Dongwoo teased and snickered.

"What?! You’re just a few minutes older than me. Don’t act like an old scholar." Minwoo said but Dongwoo shrugged his shoulders, feeling proud.

"Those few minutes still count." He said and Minwoo nudged him once more with his shoulder. "Doing that won’t make the few minutes difference go away." He laughed.

It was so peaceful. They were walking hand in hand, enjoying the peace that came with being free.

Meanwhile, they were being followed. By who, you may ask, it was none other than the overprotective lovers, as well as the gradually falling Sungho.

They hid behind a shop with their hats, nose masks, and thick-framed shades, watching the two as they walked, talked, and laughed.

"This is ridiculous. Just what are you even doing?" Sungho asked, taking off his shades and they looked at him like, ’Aren’t you doing the same thing we are?’

"Just be quiet if you don’t want to be found out." Seojun said, peering intently at the two in their line of sight.

He hated to admit it but he was jealous of Minwoo.

He could openly hold hands with Dongwoo because they were siblings and no one would mistake them for being lovers because of their uncanny resemblance.

He wished he could hold Dongwoo’s hand and walk down the streets while having a fun conversation as they were doing currently.

He was envious.

Seojin was envious too and this whole idea of following them was his idea.

They heard Dongwoo when he made his plans the first time, and then when they had an entire night of complete pleasure, he thought he would shift the date of their plans and he would spend the entire day with them.

But then, Dongwoo didn’t cancel but instead shifted the time.

If he had his way, he would’ve accompanied them but then it wouldn’t be a sibling’s day out anymore.

Also, he wanted Dongwoo to do what he wanted, meet whoever he wanted to meet, and not impose on his personal life but... He just couldn’t help it.

His nails dug into the wall as he watched with complete envy.

Seojun and Sungho looked at him like something was going wrong upstairs.

As for Sungho, he just wanted to see what Minwoo had planned out and then go on his way but he ended up bumping into these two, and, well, the result was as they were currently.

"Lee Dongwoo?" Someone called and the Lee twins turned their heads at once, answering simultaneously,

"Yes?" They exchanged glances and laughed, only for the person who called out to them to approach.

"Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I’m seeing you in person." It was a random girl. "And your twin too. Hi. You two are so cute."

Dongwoo, a bit lost, tilted his head. But Minwoo seemed to have caught on and whispered,

"She’s probably a fan." Dongwoo nodded,

"Ah, I see." He said and turned to the girl, flashing her a smile. "Nice to meet you."

She blushed. He looked so cute up close.

"So, which one of you is Lee Dongwoo?" She asked and they both pointed at each other. She giggled at their silliness.

"Oh, let’s be clear," Minwoo said, "...are you asking which one is Lee Dongwoo by birth or the photographer?"
