214 He Was Afraid

The next morning, Shawn was still impassive in front of everyone but Ryu noticed the dark circles under his brother's eyes and when he gave a closer look to him, his eyes looked red and sore.

'Did he cry?' he mused.

"Why are you so quiet?" asked Ryu, unable to suppress his concern for him, his voice was full of warmth as he approached him. They were preparing breakfast. He was cooking while Shawn was helping him with cutting the ingredients he needed.

Shawn was not used to such gentle and caring words from people. He felt a little bit awkward with how Ryu and Dean was treating him inside the house. Though he wanted to show them the same warmth and treat them the same way, but there's no way that he would do that knowing the kind of danger his doing so would implicate on everyone around him afterwards.

"I've got nothing to say. Don't you know the saying 'Less Talk, Less Mistake'." Shawn answered simply.
