After a week of that visit, they got contacted by his appa's family. Apologising and wanting to have dinner and this time they feel a little bit at ease. The house is as big as the house of his dad's parents but this one is more homey and his grandparents here made them feel loved. They talked so gently at them, they cooes at him and they kept complimenting him and Chansoo.
It was the first time after the bad news came that he could see Chansoo really smiling. He just hopes his brother will talk to him sooner or later and if ever his brother asked him to change position, he would do it. He would risk getting married to some stranger than let his baby brother be forced into a marriage that he doesn't want to and won't find his happiness, since he knew how much Chansoo wanted to court a certain omega.

It's only a few more weeks before his brother's official engagement day, though it's more like the two will officially meet and both families could talk about the plan for the engagement party and then the wedding. And not only that is nearing, christmas is nearing too and his brother still hasn't talked to him yet. His birthday even passed without a single word from him. They haven't talked for almost two months and their parents are worried too.
Jihan had already given up talking to Chansoo, he doesn't want to force the younger into talking to him if he doesn't like that's why he was surprised to see his brother outside of his room.
The younger looks like he doesn't know what to say or if he actually needs to say something. Jihan let him inside his room, it was awkward at first. They are seated on the couch inside the elders room facing each other.
"I'm sorry." they both said in unison and their eyes locked.
"I'm sorry this is happening because Dad doesn't want to take risk getting me into it because I am an omega." Jihan says and Chansoo shakes his head.
"No, hyung. I'm sorry because I didn't understand why it has to be me but now I know and I don't want you getting hurt too or getting you forced into something like this. I don't want to imagine an alpha taking advantage of you." Chansoo says as he looks down.
"Of course I'm sad but it wasn't like-- I mean-- I haven't started courting her and maybe we aren't meant to be--"
"Or maybe you are and you just have to stop being obedient and run away. I mean, it's not like the engagement is already official so maybe you could run away then go back when everything is settled here." Jihan says and Chansoo perks up.
"Hyung, they might force you into it." Chansoo says and Jihan shook his head.
"It's okay, I don't think our grandparents would arrange me in some bad alpha's." Jihan says and the younger moves closer.
"Are you sure, hyung?" he asked and the elder nods.
"Of course I am, I know that you really don't wanna do this. Just promise me that you're going to take care of yourself." Jihan says and Chansoo nods leaning closer to hug his brother.
Jihan misses Chansoo so much and he'll miss him more once the younger is gone, he just hopes everything went well.
He doesn't want his brother to be tied down with someone he doesn't like, it's okay if it is him since he's not interested in anyone and he can just learn to like or love someone if that was necessary.
That night the two brother's have slept side by side, snuggled together like the old times with a smile on their faces. It was a sight to see, their parents we're happy that both of their sons had finally made up and didn't actually think about what's about to happen next.

One morning, a few days after the two brother's made up. Jihan woke up with his parents trying to call someone on the phone while the other was panicking in the background. They didn't even realize that he was there so he did what is the most sensible thing he called for his brother because he knew the younger always wake up earlier than them so he must know.
"Chansoo-yah, what's going on?" he shouts, not too loud but enough for his parents to look at him with sad eyes and he was slightly confused.
"Oh Jihan-ah." his appa says and walks towards him just to embrace him for a hug.
"We couldn't reach for Chansoo for almost an hour. When we woke up he's not here anymore and he left a note that he'll be away for some time but we are worried. Your grandmother would soon find out he ran away and we're scared she'll find him soon." his appa says as he hugs him and of course Jihan already knew Chansoo would run away, the younger had mentioned it yesterday why did it slip in his mind.
"Do you think he'll be okay out there?" Jihan asked and his parents looked at him..
"Why? Do you know about this?" his dad asked and he looked at him with wide eyes.
"He kinda told me about it but I don't know the details and I didn't know he'll do it so soon." Jihan says and he looks down. "I'm sorry, I just thought he'll tell me about it when he'll finally go away." Jihan says because he knew he can't lie to his parents once this was out and what he's saying isn't even a lie since they already talked that Chansoo would change his number and he'll contact Jihan after a few days. Also he won't say anything to Jihan like where he's going and what he's gonna do, because the only thing that Jihan has to know is that he's eating, sleeping and that he's okay and healthy.
"Hey, it's okay. I know you guys didn't trust us because we just let your grandmother do this, we should have told you about this. We knew it was wrong to promise something but me and your appa just really wanted to be together at that time and couldn't think of the consequence of what we are saying but now we know but I really don't think your grandmother will be happy about this." His dad says smiling sadly.
"Let's just hope Chansoo is doing fine wherever he is." his appa says and they all agree.
