JUNGKOOK POV

"You knew her, hyung?!" I yell at Jin as we get back home and into my room.

He stares at me, flabbergasted, "So what if I did? What the hell is so wrong about that?!"

This gets me even more riled up. It's not the fact that Jin knew about Yujin before me, it's that he knew about her and her... parents.

"Get out hyung! I can't deal with this right now!" I say, feeling a throb in the back of my head.

His eyes soften at me, "I'll leave for now, but I know you'll come to your senses soon. When you do, talk to me"

He leaves and slams the door behind him.

Senses? What's he even talking about?

I snatch my phone from out of my pocket and quickly search up Yujin's parents.

What did Jin say their names were? Ah- they were Choi Seojoon and Kim Haneun, those are her parents.

I search up their names and click on the first article I see from 11 years ago.

BREAKING NEWS: Another soulmate couple, Choi Seojoon and Kim Haneun, have split, due to infidelity on both sides.

☾*✲⋆

My breath hitches. Infidelity on both sides?! This family was- is really messed up.

As I keep reading, it describes what happened and all the court cases along with what or who would keep the money and property, etc.

However, I freeze when a paragraph catches my eye:

☾*✲⋆

The couple have a 7 year old daughter, who must be kept anonymous. However, unlike all the other divorced soulmates in the world who fight for custody of their children, these two are doing the opposite. Neither of them want to be the guardian of their daughter.

☾*✲⋆

My eyes widen. Neither of them wanted their own kid?

I think back to Yujin and her indifferent attitude towards everyone. Her hatred for soulmates. The fact that she lives all alone, without any parents. The man that beat her must've been her dad.

It all makes sense now. She doesn't have any support from anyone, with her lack of friends and family.

The pity I feel for her is supposed to make me run over and comfort her. But I want to do the opposite.

I need to stay as far away as possible from Choi Yujin. I can't get involved with a messed up family like hers.
