As Tae Jin walked towards Hae Jin (Who sat on the stairs leading to the front door of the house), Mr Shin can be seen driving away.

Hae Jin watched the car drive off of sight before focusing his attention on Tae Jin.

Studying the expression on Tae Jin's face, he looked exhausted.

Why was that? What did he talk about with the man that made him this exhausted?

And, who was that man anyway? 

*Sigh, Tae Jin sighed as he took a seat beside Hae Jin, leaving a distance between them as usual.

"You look exhausted. Was it that tiring speaking with the man?"

*Sigh, Tae Jin sighed again, shaking his head before saying, "No, is just what he said and thinking about it drys out a lot of my energy"

Hae Jin wanted to asked what it was that they talked about but before he could, Tae Jin dismissed the topic.

"Enough about it. So, why were you staring at him? Did you perhaps find him good look?" Tae Jin asked in a jealous but Hae Jin did not notice.

All he noticed was the deep frown on Tae Jin's face which scared him.

Bringing back the memories of what happened between them when Tae Jin found out he was reading gay comic.

There was no way he was going to admit.

He did find the man good looking, but that, wasn't the real deal.

He found the man familiar. That was the important deal here.

"No, is just that, I found him familiar" and with this right answer, the frown on Tae Jin's face disappeared, replaced by a confused look.

"Does it happen frequently? I mean, do you always find people familiar"

"No, this is the first time. And, besides you and your friends, he's the first human I've seen and thought this way"

"What about the old woman? You know, the one you're looking for. Did you find her familiar when you first saw her?"

Tae Jin asked and watched as Hae Jin thought about his question.

Seconds later, he finally came out with an answer.

"Yes, just like when I saw that man, I found her familiar as well. But I couldn't remember where I have seen her" And he didn't think much about it either (When he first met the old woman)

He never told Sung Yoon this (That he found the old woman familiar) because he forgot about it.

"Okay, then,........... could it be the old woman is related to Shin Hye's father? I mean, you found them both familiar"

Oh,.....the man who came by was Shin Hye's father. Then,.....he didn't have to ask what they talked about.

Surely,

It was about Shin Hye.

.......... Shin Hye, why did his heart hurt at the thought of Tae Jin and Shin Hye together?

This.....This shouldn't be so. This was totally wrong.

"Hyung"

"Huh?" Hae Jin snapped out of his thoughts, looking at Tae Jin with what I think as a stupid look.

"Are you okay? Why do you have your hand on your heart?" Realizing his hand really was on his heart, he immediately put down his hand, staying the obvious lie, "I'm fine"

Tae Jin wasn't convinced with the answer but he decided not to ask too much questions.

"Okay, if you say so" If his hyung didn't want to share, why should he ask again?

"What were you saying?" He didn't hear a word after finding out the man who came by was Shin Hye's dad.

What Tae Jin said after that, fell on death ears.

"I said, let's just wait for some time. If we don't hear any news from Sung Yoon, then, we'll look into Mr Shin's past and present if he knows the woman"

"Okay" Hae Jin answered with a fake smile, looking up at the blue sky as he lost himself in thought again.

Why did his hyung have such a sad confused look on his face?

Tae Jin asked himself as he stared at Hae Jin.

What was he thinking about? That made him so sad and confused?

He should do something.

"Hyung"

Coming out of the world of thoughts, Hae Jin answered to his call, "Huh?" Looking at his direction.

"How about I teach you model stuffs? We can start by teaching you how to use a phone"

"Sorry Tae Jin, but am not interested. I'm tired and I want to rest. Maybe some other time"

Truthfully speaking, he really was tired but, he also wanted to stay away from Tae Jin.

And am sure we all know why. He wants to figure out these strange feelings that seems to be forming for Tae Jin.

"I'll go in first to rest" Hae Jin said, getting up and leaving for the house.

"Okay" Tae Jin replied, watching his hyung go inside the house.

Today should be a happy day. His hyung finally got out of the house and could see just a bit of the outside world.

Yet, it didn't feel worth celebrating. Something feels different.

His hyung wasn't as happy as he thought he would be when he finally gets his freedom.

What...... What felt different?
