It was the thing every time, Jae's parents would insist on an update from him on a monthly basis where they would sit and go through his report card and GPA, his father would make some snide remarks about his career choice being a mistake, Jae would lie through his teeth about what life in Evermore was like because he couldn't bring himself to tell his father that he moved out of the dorms a long time ago. He knew he would furious when he found out what was really happening, that Jae barely even knew that the dorm room looked like anymore. That his bed was left made and empty night after night while he was warming the space next to Han.

He couldn't bring himself to tell his father that he had fallen head over heels for someone and that he saw his future in him. He couldn't bring himself to break apart his family because of something he had chosen, not because he cared much for his father and his strict ways but because he knew it would mean losing his mother, someone who didn't have much time left. They all knew it and he could barely stand the idea of being taken away from her, even if he felt this sense of guilt in the pit of his stomach every time he lied to her. 

Jae reached out his hand to cup Han's cheek as he laid in front of him, he looked so peaceful but it also hurt him knowing how badly Han wanted them to be public, the star had been hinting for a while now that he wanted Jae to make the step and honestly, Jae felt he owed it to him. But it was so hard. Even if he could survive away from his parent's investments, what happened when he graduated if he couldn't find a job? Was he going to rely on Han forever? That hardly seemed fair. Jae sighed softly as he pulled Han closer "Hey...don't forget I'm staying at the dorm after class tonight" he murmured softly, almost sounding guilty as he spoke it because he hated being away from Han and he knew the star was going to pout about it.

“I’d be more than happy to play doctor with you too baby but the last thing I want is for you to be getting hurt… I know you dhampirs heal fast but that doesn’t mean you can just… get hurt, you know?” Jae is very clumsy as a person, it always made the celestial wonder just how this dhampir lived to grow out his days without getting bruises. He probably did get plenty of them upon growing up. “One of these days, I’ll be littering your whole body with those cute bandages…”

He raised his eyebrow and scoffed when he asked if he was calling him mischievous “That is not even close to what you are, baby dhampy. You’re even more mischievous than Yeontan which is saying a lot by the way. Is this what happens when you’re best friends with a Daehyun Stormwind?” Yeontan does seem like he loves the attention given to him and strives to get the most of it. “Honestly I would have thought he’s just a drama queen… that loves the attention.”

The celestial looked down because he knew how true that was, Sunmin was practically forced to accept this bond they have that connected the both of them, even when he probably didn’t want to. “Sunmin didn’t have people taking care of him… he’s naturally distrusting and I can see why. The world is cruel. How can I expect someone like that to just… accept me with open arms? I’ll wait for as long as it takes.” He genuinely wanted to ensure his twin that he is there now and will always be there. “I just… wanted to apologize for not being there for him all these years, you know?”

He could feel like he was pulled towards the other celestial “He’s like the missing half I never knew I had…” Han gasped dramatically and shook his head in retaliation “No no no I’m not the scary looking one, what do you mean I’m the scary looking one. I’m a softie inside and outside babe.” He scanned the basket and looked at the bill that was being generated “Dogs are expensive… thank god I don’t have to invest more on pet clinic… I can be their own doctor.” He gave one of the bags to Jae so they could walk out with the things they purchased. “I had to debate getting another one for you but you are you…” anything for Jae.

Jae raised his brows in surprise when Han claimed he was more mischievous than Yeontan, gasping softly because he couldn’t believe he said that “How could you say that baby….I’m a good boy” he insisted, giving him a pointed look “Daehyun is…a little bit of trouble” he mumbled softly, perhaps a lot if you considered what he did for a living but he was a good person too and mostly his intentions were good, he was just a little grumpy. “What have I done to earn such a title hmm…tell me” he commented, his lips pouted a little.

Jae nodded his head slightly “He’s always been alone” he commented and pressed his lips together, 21 years of that same life would turn anyone bitter right? Living alone and only having to look out for himself, it must have been hard to trust anyone “But you’ve been nothing but kind and patient with him all this time…he could take a hold of the olive branch already…” he just didn’t like to see Han try so hard for so little return. But he knew the other male wouldn’t stop, it was just the person he was “You shouldn’t blame yourself…it’s not like you missed him by choice…” he reassured him and reached to squeeze his shoulder gently.

Jae couldn’t say he could understand exactly because what Han is going through feels almost like it’s never happened before, to find you’ve had a twin all this time but never even met one another before, there must be a weird pull there, especially on Han’s side “He’ll come around…he’s already come a long way since you met him”.

The dhampir giggled when Han insisted he wasn’t the scary-looking one “Baby you’ve been bulking up like crazy lately, you look like you could win a boxing match against most street thugs” he jested softly and gave him a look “I know you’re a softie, but from first look I’m not sure that’s the impression others are getting” he gave him a pointed. As they headed out of the shop with all their new things, leading Apollo along with them he smiled softly “They are expensive and they don’t even know how good their lives are…so spoiled” he clicked his tongue “Speaking of though…we should really get back to Byul before she gives us a lecture for leaving her too long…” she was a princess.

He raised his eyebrow judgingly and hummed “Yeah sure Jae, sure” as much as he loves him, even the celestial couldn’t deny that the dhampir boyfriend of his can be just as playful as his pet pomeranian. “A little bit of trouble is one way to word it.” Han wasn’t the biggest fan of the niveis Jae calls friend, of course he didn’t dislike him either. How could he? He’s a good person and obviously he can’t dislike someone who’s connected to both his boyfriend and volakiri. It doesn’t work that way, unfortunately.

“Yeon is so smitten by him sometimes I wonder if there’s a hidden charm that I just couldn’t see.” What was so great about him? He was curious. “The question is… what haven’t you done baby?” He teased and pinched his cheeks playfully. God he was just so goddamn weak for this man.

Han knew Jae didn’t like seeing him so discouraged and dispirited, and all of it was thanks to Sunmin, the twin brother he
never knew he had. The celestial was obsessed with righting the wrongs, and to make up for his absence in the latter’s life but it was easier said than done, especially when the younger male won’t open up. “I know it wasn’t by choice but if I had taken good care of myself back then perhaps I wouldn’t be caught… and perhaps I would be where he could find me. He must’ve been so afraid…”

But Jae was right, it has been a while and Sunmin has come around slowly to the idea of having a brother like him. “Hey, I am not fit for those boxing stuff, I’m a doctor” he protested, sure he has gotten bulked up lately and by going to the gym, he was probably adding to his diet even more. “Are you saying I should stop going to the gym? But I thought you liked me going to the gym…”

When Jae mentioned they should get back to Byul, he scoffed and said “Yeah… we should. She will be whining all night long if we don’t.” He had led both of them back to their home before long. Thankfully it was a smooth and pleasant journey home. Han unlocked the door and was greeted by Byul’s incessant whines. “And there she is…”
