Jungkook glanced at his new room.

The dark brown tone quite fitted his taste; the modern interior was delicately arranged to make the space larger but still cozy. He reached out and pulled the gray curtain; the light from outside quickly embraced the entire room. Since the balcony of his room facing the green garden of the Kim family, the image of Kim Taehyung, Park Jimin, and Jung Hoseok playing below also fell into his vision. Glancing over to the side, Kim Namjoon was reading a book as usual, and Kim Seokjin was chatting with Min Yoongi and occasionally helping him pour tea or feeding him fruits. The sunlight covered them. It actually felt like...a family.

He used to have a family of his own, but everything had been turned upside down ever since Kim Seokjin appeared.

Jungkook whistled leisurely and walked back home when he suddenly heard the sound of police sirens and the crowd's commotion gathered in front of the gate of the cyber café. Jungkook frowned and hurriedly squeezed into the crowd to reach his home. Seeing a few serious-looking policemen escorting a bewildered young man, he immediately ran to them and asked loudly.

"Where are you taking him?"

"You are Jeon Jungkook, Jeon Joonhuyk's younger brother?"- A female police officer raised her eyebrows slightly.

"That's right." He nodded

"Jeon Joonhuyk is suspected of illegal drug possession and dealing..." - The female police officer calmly announced.

"Impossible...he would never do that"- Jungkook felt like he had just been hit by a ten-kilogram dumbbell, his body and mind being pressed to the point that he couldn't breathe.

"It's not up to your assumption; we need to interrogate him first. Since you're here, then follow us; we also need your declarations.

Sitting on the waiting chair outside the interrogation room, he was like a corpse without a soul. His vivacious eyes were now occupied by the pure white wall.

"Click"

The room door opened, Joonhyuk tiredly stepped out under the escort of two policemen.

"Huyk hyung"- Jungkook heard the voice and stood up, urgently calling the young man's name.

"Jungkook-ah...you..."- Joonhuyk looked at his younger brother; the words he was about to say got stuck in his throat.

"I believe you"- Jungkook's eyes are red, he said firmly.

"Jeon Joonhuyk is currently a suspect. No conclusion has been made yet, but he will be arrested for a while until we find out the critical evidence. Jeon Jungkook, you can go home,"- The female police officer coldly said and motioned to his colleague behind to take Joonhuyk away.

-"Is the room okay? I designed it according to your hobbies. If you need to edit anything, don't be afraid to say it"- A familiar gentle voice interrupted Jungkook's flashback.

Jungkook turned his head to see Kim Seokjin leaning against the door, the eldest's clear eyes slightly curved up.

-"...You know about Huyk hyung, don't you?"- Jungkook looked directly at the other, closely observing every expression on the eldest's face. Even though it was a question, the way he said it was more like an affirmation.

"I've just known about that. But don't worry, he's been released as soon as you got here,"- Kim Seokjin replied with a smile.

"Should I think everything is a coincidence?"
