Two bowls of pomegranate were served with some chocolate chips on top of them giving extra sweetness to the souring flavor of the pomegranate, "thank you" Aera thanked him before he took a seat beside him.
"What's worrying you hyung?" Beom asked while hiding under the blanket beside his hyung who already started eating what's in his bowl aiming to have his and Beom's, "not much, so don't worry your young brain, there are more stuff to worry about in the future so take care of that head of yours before you fry it~" his spoon was pointed at Beom the whole time he spoke, resulting for what's stuck on it to fly to Beom's face, he slowly wiped it all away before he pulled the spoon away from his hand and spooned good amount before shoving it into his mouth, "but my radar's telling me there's something wrong and we need to talk about it"
"I need to do something about that radar of yours" he grumbled after swallowing what's in his mouth.
"You can't get rid of it and you know that" his grin got Aera mad and a pillow to be thrown at him before they started pillow fight that ended with Beom's winning.
The incident with Haneul ended in an unexpected way, Haneul stopped showing up in front of them and if he needed to, he'd be straight forward with what he wants and simply leave so the Han brothers found that a bit worrying and they wanted to know why but he's not giving them a chance.
What they didn't know, Haneul has been away because he has been working again on his anger issues because what happened almost traumatized him, though that should be the Han brother's line, but he was still terrified after seeing the two of them and realizing he's the cause of that he decided to take few steps back and away from them two until it's safe again.
After finishing their bowls they walked to wash the dishes that has been left since the morning, while cleaning them Aera's phone rang an so he left to pick it up but the caller is someone he didn't want to ever talk to, Beom noticed the discomfort and approached him to see who's calling and when he saw who it was he snatched the phone from him and answered.
"Hello Aera? Hello? Aera?? Can you hear me?" A faint voice appeared asking if there's a problem with the connection but the caller denied that in a low voice but Beom and Aera heard them clearly, "ahem anyway, Aera if you can hear me, I want to have your answer... Will you come to the family's anniversary with that boy you're protecting?" They were faced by silence which worried them if Aera is the one answering or someone else is and to their surprise it was someone they didn't expect to hear his voice this soon, "thank you for the invitation, we'll gladly come so prepare a separate table for us" Beom said calmly before he ended the call.
He took Aera by the hand to his room and made him stand in front of the mirror, he pulled his chin up, "who are those?"
Aera stared at their reflection before he turned to look at Beom and back to their reflection, "me and you"
"Who are me and you?" Slowly, Aera started to understand what Beom means so he stood confidently and gave a small smile to his reflection, "Han Aera and Han Beom"
"And who are they?"
"The two who fought every battle in front of them to keep on living"
"And?"
"And... They don't fear those who ruined their lives once because they'd come back stronger and ruin them the same way did or worse" their faces turned scary in the almost dark room with their eyes glowing with furious and desire to keep going, their smiles were wide big giving off a demon's happiness for what it has and their aura is terrifying like beasts well prepared to attack their preys.
The two of them were filled with confidence in no time, and their excitement for the anniversary meeting has increased madly high.
Aera's phone rang again, disturbing their moment, the aura around the two of them getting darker the closer they approach his phone, but once they saw who the caller is the two of them calmed down, it was none other than Haneul, the man they thought he won't talk to them had called them first so he might decided to rise the white flag and stop all this... Hopefully.
"Hello?" Aera answered, his voice as sweet as honey sending shivers down Haneul's spine, "he- hey" he stuttered getting the siblings to giggle, he really seemed to call to end all that before and they were happy to think that until the bomb dropped, "umm, I'm sorry to suddenly call you like this Aera hyung but, umm... brother came back to Korea and he's in the airport right now, I wanted to let you know just in case before he surprises you"
"Oh! So you're going to pick him up?" He asked trying to lighten up the mood between them and he successfully made it because Haneul started to talk excitedly about how happy he is since it has been awhile since he saw his twin and how many things there are he wants to show him, "haha, then go and get him~ we're already on our way to the café, so hurry!"
"You really want to?" Aera turned to look at Beom who had his arms crossed and his body leaning on the wall, "you looked a bit nervous and tensed at the mention of Haneul hyung's twin. Is he a paranoid like him?"
Aera made a thinking face before he looked back at Beom, he had an eyebrow risen and a face showing a the hell you're waiting for expression, so Aera sighed and shook his head, "compared to Haneul, Seok is chill and easy going" he turned to look at Beom from head to toe, "but I wonder how he will become when he meets you~"
"Am I some kind of a rat you test whatever you want on?" He rose both his eyebrows, but Aera ignored him and pulled him to his room and opened his closet and picked something for him to change into, "wear those, I'll go and change mine to match yours"
"Almost everything in our closets are the same hyung, we're literally matching"
"Tan Seok's coming!! Woohoo!!!!"
