my new family

Opening my heart

"be comfortable. I'll be back in 15 minutes." y/n told Jimin as they enter her house.

"can I look around?" he asked sheepishly smiling.

"sure. Go ahead." You said nodding as you head to your room. 

 Fewminutes later you came out wearing

you let your hair loose and didn't do any make up.

"whoa! I have a similar one in white. See." Unzipping his jacket.

"looking good." You said with an uninterested thumbs up. "let's go or we'll be late."

"oh! Yeah. I don't want hyung to scold me again."

It was silent ride until y/n spoke-

"you were the one who heard me right."

"huh? Wdym?" he asked in denial.

"in the bathroom-"

"uh- that's- um- actually when I saw you going I decided to follow in case you lose your way........ but how did you know?"

"I saw a shadow through the door and when I came back only your expression towards me had changed to a bit softer." y/n explained.

"sorry. I didn't mean to eavesdrop."

"nah it's okay. Also I said all of that out loud just minutes later." She smiled to reassure him.

"so, do you accept me too?" he asked curiously.

"do you?" she asked him with a blank expression.

"I..... don't know. I know we all have been a lot so it's not easy to trust anyone. Not for me. But I surely want you to be happy and safe. I sort of enjoy your company."

"why though?" y/n was now confused.

"maybe because we both had a not so happy past. I had my brothers but you seem to have no one. Can I be the one you lean on? Can I be your.......... Brother?"

"well, let me correct you first. I do have someone. Not one but many. My friends. they know all about me. The guy who picked me up yesterday, he is Seo Jun. His sister, Byul unnie, she like a second mother to me. This girl has practically raised me up. Wait she is the same age as Jin oppa. He might be her classmate."

"oh.... What about others?" Jimin asked. He was now engrossed in your story.

"well that's my uncle. Professor Kang, his wife and daughter. And the remaining one you might meet him soon."

"oh. Also-" you cut him off.

"yes."

"huh?" he couldn't decipher your words.

"I am answering you. Y-E-S. yes you can be my brother, oppa." y/n said with a warm smile.

"really? But why though?" he asked as his crescent smiling eyes turned into confused ones.

"maybe cuz you didn't judge me and wanted me to lighten my burden with you. You said you want to protect me and wish me to be happy. So..... yeah. But mind that you all still need to prove me that you are sincere. I trust you but not maybe not that much."

"Thanks y/n. I will surely keep my promises and also prove myself. But can I ask you for something.." he suddenly turned hesitant and he eyes reflect deep sorrow.

"sure oppa. Anything for my brother."

He stopped the car on the sidetracks and turned to look at you he held your hands tightly and pleaded with tears flowing endlessly.

"never leave us y/n. Never hurt us. We are already broken, angel. the ages old scars still hurt. Please don't do anything that gives us new ones."

You quickly engulf him in a hug and let him sob on your shoulder while you reassure him that not even in your dreams you could hurt them or anyone as you yourself are too hurt.

When he finally calmed down he started driving towards the mall. You found others waiting for you and went to hug Jin and your mom while waving to others. Jungkook pouted but didn't say anything under Jin's glare.

'gosh he must be a scary elder' you thought.

"Jin oppa." You called him while taking long steps to catchup with him. he turned to look at you and held you hand. He slowed his pace and asked you to continue. "do you know my Byul unnie? Han saet-Byul. She is the same age as you so she might be your classmate."

"um.... Yeah! I met her once or twice. That boy took you to her home, I saw him carrying you inside the house where she was waiting."

"huh?" you were spellbound.

"oh! Actually dad asked me follow you to see if you reached home safely."

"ah!" you nod in understanding.

"can I ask something?" he seemed to be hesitant too so you thought he was going to say the same things as Jimin but when you looked in his eyes there was concern and not sorrow. You nod to let him continue.

"that boy..... do you-"

"Seo Jun, I... like.... him." you said slowly. Red tint took over your cheeks.

"he?" Jin asked afraid that he might reject your feelings.

"he does. Byul unnie is his sister. I heard her say that. But that fool does not confess." You pouted a little and Jin left your hand to ruffled your hair, amused by you reaction.

"he will. Soon enough. Or else I will make him." Jin said cracking his knuckles with a dead serious face.

"no need I already have my plan. Just need some help." y/n said turning her head in the direction other boys stood, chatting.

"we will. Anyway we can, we will help our princess."
