-The next morning-

"I think you both have a lot to talk about. So, I'll be taking my leave for now!" Xu Mey kissed Ye Jie's cheek and left him with Ye Jun alone.

Ye Jun had come early in the morning since he had agreed to talk things out with Ye Jie. No matter how much he tried to run, he knew that it was about time to face reality.

Both brothers stood facing each other without anyone taking the initiative to talk. It was like they were lost for words. Ye Jie pursed his lips and cleared his throat lightly saying, "Take a seat."

Ye Jun listened to him and sat back on the sofa in the living room. "So?" He heard Ye Jie's voice from opposite of him.

"So?" Ye Jun copied his style.

"We've gotta start from somewhere," Ye Jie voice was wavering as he spoke and that was unusual for him.

"I know!" Ye Jun retorted plainly and with a calm countenance which was rather unfitting with his demeanor.

Again a silence engulfed both of them. As the silence grew thicker in the air, both of them felt uncomfortable.

"When did you figure it out?" Ye Jie finally found his voice to ask the question.

"Hmm... I always had a doubt but when you needed blood for your surgery that's when my suspicion was confirmed." Ye Jun replied thinking about the time when Ye Jie injured himself in a basketball game that led to surgery and he needed blood urgently. That was originally the time, Ye Jun grew over-protective of his elder brother not wanting to lose him at any cost.

He knew he was acting selfishly but he couldn't help it. Only his brother was the one who loved him without asking for anything in return. Even now, his parents had been out of the country for a month and didn't bother to even try to find out about his whereabouts. Ye Jun knew that in the end, he only had Ye Jie to depend on.

"What about you, bro? Since when do you know?" Ye Jun inquired hesitantly.

Ye Jie sighed as he thought about the time he figured it out. Oddly, he couldn't remember that time at all. "I honestly don't know. My mind was never ready to accept this possibility that I'm not a part of Ye Family but when Azalea came running into my life with a DNA test, my world fell apart. Because I wasn't left with any excuses for myself."

"Azalea is your blood-sister?" Ye Jun stared into Ye Jie's eyes as he asked the question. Ye Jie nodded his head confirming everything in Ye Jun's mind. "Since you have already found your family, why are you not revealing your identity?" It really pained Ye Jun to even suggest this but he knew that he had to.

"What? Want to get rid of me?" Ye JIe's words stunned Ye Jun who made a crying face.

"Bro, how can you even think like that? If it was up to me, I'd gladly reject what those stupid piece of test reports say. Because to me, you'll always be my Jie bro. Mine. One and only." Tears were swimming in Ye Jun's eyes at this point.

Ye Jie stood up and came up to him. He pulled him up to hug him saying, "Juni, Oi! My little Juni!" Ye Jie ruffled his hair annoying him. "That piece of paper can't change the bond we have. You'll be my little brother. I won't let it change. Even if you tried to forget me for Jun Li Na, I'll pull you back to me from your ear."

Ye Jun laughed out between his crying. "Bro, you're really mean!"

"Well, I'm your brother. I have to be a little mean. Also, my stupid little brother, it already means the world to me that I have a brother like you in my life."

Ye Jun sniffled a bit and said, "Bro, you still can't run from the truth."

Ye Jie sighed heavily and let go of Ye Jun. He raked his fingers through his hair. "Jun, there are a lot of things that are unclear at the moment. And I don't think I'll be able to tell anyone anything until I know why I'm here. Why I'm a Ye and not a Zhu? I need those answers before anything."

"There is something else. That can't be the only reason." Ye Jun wasn't that gullible to believe Ye Jie's words completely.

Ye Jie rubbed his chin in a thoughtful manner before speaking, "Jun, did you notice Zhu Chen and He Susu last night?" Ye Jun frowned but nodded his head. "They seem like the kind of parents whose entire life would revolve around their kids." Ye Jun spontaneously nodded his head in agreement. "I... I don't know... I kind of feel like I won't be able to... I mean their love is so overwhelming that I might not be ready for that."

"That's not making sense, bro." Ye Jun remarked waspishly.

"Ugh! I know!" Ye Jie had the urge to pull his hair. "I guess I'm not used to seeing that kind of parental love. So, it's really overwhelming."

"Just for that reason, you're avoiding them. That's really not fair with them." Ye Jun patted Ye Jie's shoulder as he said, "Bro, it's luck that you got a chance to cut yourself from living this life of a lie. This is a lie. You were never supposed to be in the Ye family. Stop living this life." Ye Jie was started to hear Ye Jun's words.

He tapped Ye Jun's cheek saying, "Ay, my little brother has not only grown up but he has also matured. I guess I don't have to worry about you anymore."

"Yes, you can stop always worrying about me. But that doesn't mean that you can just forget me. I still need you in my life."

"I'm always here for you." Both brothers hugged each other tightly not hiding their love for each other at all.

They really needed this heart to heart session. It was very healthy for both of them.
