BTS Caretaker ( BTS x OC)

Chapter 90: Ardour III

"Ji Hoon, tell me right now. What is this all about? Is it true you are the one who behind this?"

Hoon pulled away, keeping his head low just like before, sighing heavily "Nuna..I didn't mean to- Yes, I did it. I was forced by someone from the competition" he confessed. All eyes were on Hoon as he finally said something more than just a desperate sorry.

"What kind of competition? Hoon, is there something that I don't know? Something that you have been keeping away from me. Spill it out one by one" she said firmly with a deep frown.

"I..got into a survival show. Produce 101" he tugged the hem of his shirt nervously, anticipating Seul's reaction. He screwed up big time for not being opened to his mom and sister about his dream to become an idol.

Just like he expected, Seul eyes flew open upon hearing the revelation of Hoon joining a survival show. Not that she ever heard about the show before since her knowledge about entertainment and idols were not that impressive.

"Produce 101? You are one of the contestants?" Jin looked just as shock and it was evident on his face. Hoon bit his lower lips and nodded weakly.

"Survival show? Do you need to kill someone in order to survive? Like Hunger Games?" she started to hyperventilate. For a moment Hoon just stared at his sister, looking rather perplexed.

"Yah no! It is not that kind of show! It is a survival show to be an idol" he explained calmly.

"What? Wait..Idol? How can mom and I have no idea about you joining that show? I don't even know you are into singing or dancing or worse becoming an idol! What else are you hiding from us? Gosh, you are full of surprises" words coming out from Seul moved faster than a loaded machine gun.

Cringing at her pitchy voice, Hoon rubbed the back of his neck "I am sorry nuna. I wanted to tell you and mother about this. But, it is still new, and I am not sure if I will be able to survive until the end. I am thinking to reveal it to you until-" Seul snapped before he could finish his sentence.

"Until you become the winner or until you're eliminated from the show?" she snorted sarcastically. Her temper was so fierce she had to clench her hands to keep them by her sides and not around his throat. The boys looked amused to witness her temper, it was no joke.

Namjoon mumbled lowly "Let the boy finish his story Seul. Control your mouth" he shot the girl a meaningful look shutting Seul mouth instantly. She let out a small grunt while rolling her eyes as she signalled her brother to continue.

Hoon took a deep breath, gathering his strength to scan faces in the room "I wanted to prove it to you and mother that I really wanted this. Until it happens I plan to keep it away from both of you. I am sorry" Seul massaged her aching temple.

"I am sure you are not working alone. Who is your partner? How is it possible for you to have access to this building when it is fully secured?" Jimin questioned softly.

Hoon was numb with shock, too frightened to answer, and he took a moment to organize his thoughts and words. They patiently waited for the younger guy to speak and when he did it once again left them in pure shock.

"It is one of the hyungs from the show. He's an underground rapper and used to be in the same team as Yoongi hyung and Namjoon hyung" their consciences were alarmed as they exchanged confused glances.

The dark-brown haired rapper groaned in disapproval, looking at Hoon intensely "Who is he? Someone that we know?" he grew impatient.

"His real name is Ki Jun, and he called himself 'Sly KN' back then. He told me he knew both of you especially Yoongi hyung. That.. he has an unfinished business with you" Yoongi scoffed, groaning under his harsh breathing.

"Ki Jun. How can I forget him? Now he has resurfaced again. How ironic." a flash of memories came knocking into his mind. It had been years since the incident, yet it remained fresh in his memories. The thing that Ki Jun did towards him was unforgiveable and unforgettable.

Namjoon gasped in horror knowing exactly who's the infamous Ki Jun.

Ki Jun was the same person who stole Yoongi song and made money from it. He was the nastiest human on planet who betrayed his friend for money and fame. To make it sounded even horrible, Ki Jun pinned the blame on Namjoon and made Yoongi turned his back on him. Those times were hard for both of them. They didn't trust each other. They let Ki Jun words got them and in the end, it ruined their friendship.

Realizing Ki Jun was toxic did not happen right way. They had plenty of arguments and betrayals to finally realize Ki Jun was the cause of the misery. Yoongi remembered the last time he met that bastard.

The man with frenzy hair threw 100 won coins at Yoongi and smug "That is your share. You deserve that at least Min Yoongi. Plus, the songs that you produced are not that good. Barely made money out from it"

Seul tilted her head confusedly trying to patch all the info together. It sounded to her this man, Ki Jun and Yoongi had a bad past together. "Hoon-ah, this Ki Jun guy, out of all people in the competition, why he made you do it?" she emitted another long sigh.

His face darkened and his boisterous voice dropped to a mutter "He found out about mother working for BTS...and...he..made me do it" Seul furrowed her brows as she scrutinized his features in hope to find some answers.

Then it dawned on her, his brother was bullied by this Ki Jun dude.

"Ji Hoon, what did he do to you?" Hoon averted his gaze and swallowed, like he was scared to say something as if his life depended on it. "I am asking you one more time. What the hell did this Ki Jun do to you?" she raised her voice forcing herself to sound as nice as she could. She knew it better. Seul couldn't hold her frustration and anger any longer.

The air inside the room suddenly seemed stifling as everyone's attention now was on the siblings. No one even dared to get in between them. The truth of what was happening about to be unravelled. It was a matter of time until Hoon decided to open up about everything.

"He..." he turned his back confusing everyone, and carefully Hoon lifted his shirt to reveal the visible burn marks on his skin. There was a loud gasp from the floor. They couldn't fathom the image in front of them, it looked horrible and painful.

"Hoon-ah...What..why.." Seul gulped the heavy lump in her throat, as her fingers trembled slightly. Yoongi jaws clenched, and the dark gleam seemed to come into his eyes. Bastard, he grunted angrily in his head.

Seul covered her mouth with her hand to control the sound of crying. She felt like she had been a horrible sister to Hoon. Why was she not aware of Hoon's sufferings? She could have done something about it if and only she showed extra compassion and love for him.

Hoon sobbed, tears rolling down his puffy cheeks, breaking her heart because she badly wanted to wipe them away and embrace her brother tight. "I am sorry Hoon.. I am sorry for being so ignorant. I should have paid more attention on you" she pulled younger boy into a tight embrace.

"Let's give them a moment. We have to talk" Namjoon said with a sigh, glancing up at the members and their managers. With a deep and long-drawn sigh, everyone seemed to be prepared for a lengthy talk. Everyone exited the room giving the space for the siblings to sort the unsettling issues between them.
