❝ ... leave you behind ? ❞
a familiar heat warms his face -- an aggressive heat, an angry one -- how dare that sentence, though it's merely four words in length, leave his mouth ? did he just suddenly wake up and forget everything they've been through ? well, hwoarang didn't forget. and there is no way in hell he's going to leave him behind.
❝ fucking leave you behind ? is that supposed to be a joke? because it's not funny. ❞
he barely considers the words that fly past his lips in such a rage, because there was just a silent code between them that always read that they'd never leave each other behind, even if jin nearly ripped out his throat a few times or if hwoarang said something stupid that he knew damn well he didn't mean.
❝ if i haven't left you behind after you screwed up before, what makes you think anything's different ? you haven't left me when i screwed up, either. you think i'm just going to up and forget about that did you fucking think that ? ❞
he almost sounds offended. brothers just don't leave each other behind in hard times, that isn't the way things work and they've never worked that way.
❝ jin -- don't be stupid. ❞
