Chapter 37: It seems I’ve been neglecting you, huh, Lily?
"And why is that, Hyung?" Seojin asked, suddenly taking hold of my chin and lifting my head to meet his gaze. "We’re men, you’re supposed to feel disgusted."
His gaze this time felt like he was trying to call me out for what I was. I gulped. Was this perhaps a test? Were they trying to find out if I was gay?
Why, though? And why with this method? Wait, why was I reading too much meaning to it?
I had a feeling that they were only doing this because they didn’t want me to feel disgusted by their actions. Honestly, I would never. Rather, I was the one scared that they would find me repulsive.
"I... Can’t." I said. "I can’t feel disgusted. Even if I do feel disgusted by any other person, not you two. You two are..." The sincerity in my gaze was seeping out and I was scared.
I lowered my head, afraid to say more. These two were the pillars on which I was still standing. If not for them, I would’ve given up a long time ago.
Even if I wasn’t gay, I would never feel disgusted by them.
"I understand." Seojin said with a smile of relief on his face.
"Then Hyung, we’ll take our leave for today. Make sure to eat before going to bed." Seojun said, slowly taking his hands off me.
Both twins smiled at me and just like that, they left. It was a bit all of a sudden like they were trying to hide something so they left quickly.
Once they were gone, I felt the empty space of my house and was a bit lonely.
