Chapter 55 - World 3.4

"Taehyun?" 

"Taehyun?"

The cars passing through the window were taking the male's attention away from the one who's calling him. Soheun reached for the male and gave him a pat on the head. "Taehyun?" he called out.

Taehyun, who was surprised, jolted from his seat "Y-Yes?!" he blurted out, looking back.

Soheun smiled at him. "Why are you spacing out so much? Are you okay?" he asked with worried eyes "I'm sorry, I didn't know that they were going to show up unexpectedly.." he sighed, thinking that the male must be triggered by the sudden approach of the media.

Taehyun looked at him, "No no no! It's okay...I was just a little surprised," he replied. 

Soheun turned silent for a second until the red light flashed. "Are you still uncomfortable with them?" he asked.

'What will I answer? I didn't know what's happening, and it was just a small glimpse of Taehyun's life. Should I ask him why one of the reporters asked me about my twin brother? Who is this guy anyway?'

The sudden twist of the plot completely surprised Jinli. Although she was still new to this world, there were so many things complicating her mind that she was urging for answers.

Taehyun yawned. "I suddenly feel sleepy. Let's just go home," he suggested. He was glad that averting the topic away worked.

Soheun turned his eyes to the road as the traffic lights turned green. "Okay, let's just do that," he agreed.

When they reached home, Taehyun quickly dashed inside his room with cookies and coffee in his hands. He locked the door and put it on his study table. He pulled the cushion type swivel chair and opened his laptop. 

If he couldn't ask Soheun, then it's time for him to investigate on his own. He got more intrigued by the media's sudden approach. 

He opened a site and searched for his own name. There he saw so many articles about him. He jumped to the latest news, and it stunned him after reading a small piece of information from a deleted page.

There are leaked photos of another guy with the same as his surname. He zoomed the sample photos one by one and found out that this guy really looks like him.

"Is this real?! Who is he?" he exclaimed, confused.

Taehyun dashed to the bathroom, looking straight at his reflection showing in the mirror. He had ash gray hair, almond brown eyes under his thick lashes. He had a small face and pointed nose, thin cherry lips and pale skin. A handsome yet beautiful man with a beauty mark under his right eye.

He slapped his two cheeks that quickly turned red "Is he really my twin brother?" He remembered the appearance he saw on his laptop. "Ah!" he jolted "I have made my decision!" He exited the bathroom and went back to his desk, closing the laptop.

He walked outside his room and dashed downstairs "Soheun!!" He called out, but nobody answered. "Soheun?!" he called out again.

He trudged towards the living room; it was empty. The kitchen was also empty. Taehyun scowled "Where is he?" he asked himself. 

He ended up dropping himself onto the soft and long sofa in the living room. Taehyun picked up the remote from the table and switched on the big television in front of him. The channel he saw first was about the news.

Actually, he was not fond of watching news, he will probably choose to watch anime rather than wasting his time watching such boring news. Thus, he was stunned when he heard his name. Taehyun sprang up and widened his eyes.

"That's me!" He exclaimed after watching the scenario that happened earlier at the park where a bunch of interviewers were chasing them. "The news was indeed fast," he mumbled.

"Hmgh…"

Taehyun rolled and curled up when he felt something warm touching his cheeks. He blinked his eyes and squinted a few times. He lay straight and rubbed his two eyelids.

"Why are you sleeping on the sofa? You should head upstairs,"

The familiar voice made him snapped back, so he sat up and leaned on the sofa head. There, he saw Soheun standing and smiling at him. He averted his gaze and snorted. "Why did you suddenly disappear?"

Soheun then realized his actions. He scratched his head and let out a chuckle. "I'm sorry for leaving you earlier," 

Taehyun turned his gaze behind Soheun. The glass wall of their condominium welcomed his sight. The city lights are reflected there under the sparkling sky full of stars. "Whatever!" He stood up and was going to head towards his room because he was still sleepy when the male grabbed him back. 

Soheun grabbed him and hugged him from behind, leaning his head on Taehyun's shoulder. "Did you get upset? I'm sorry," he mumbled.

His voice tickled Taehyun's neck up to his ears. He blushed instantly after feeling a jolt of electricity crawling inside his body. When he was about to draw away, Soheun's arms crawled around his waist. "Did you eat dinner?" 

That's when Taehyun's stomach growled in hunger. He fell asleep while watching TV earlier and didn't realize the time. 

The other male let him go while giggling. "I bet you're really hungry now," 

Taehyun crossed his arms and snorted. "It's because you suddenly disappeared without even letting me know," he pursed his lips out. "Such a brat!"

Soheun stopped from giggling and looked at Taehyun. "I'm sorry, okay?" He pulled the male towards the kitchen and made him sit across the dining table. "Sit here, I bought food for our dinner," He made a peck on Taehyun's forehead before walking to the microwave. 

[Diccu, he's really sweet. I feel like I will collapse]

DICCU: Collapsed what?

[Can't you see? He is the perfect handsome hot boyfriend material!]

DICCU: Is that your standard?

[Hmm, well...I will include my other 2D Daddies...hehe]

"Are you thinking something naughty? You are grinning very wide," Soheun commented, putting the foods on the table.

"Ehh?!!" Taehyun exclaimed, embarrassed. "I'm not! I was just...uhh.." before finding something to reason out, the other male pinched his nose and told him to eat. Since he was starving, he didn't say a word anymore.
