The Kim twins

Chapter 24: Family tree.

"So how was it?" Harley asked Jin.

This time, Jin was in her room, Sohee was in a late class. "He said he likes me. I may or may not have punched his face."

Harley shrugged. "He deserved it. I told you it would work."

Jin laughed. "Of course it worked. You're a genius."

"It takes one to know one." Harley winked.

"Guys, I've looked everywhere for you." Taehyung was panting hard by the time he reached Harley's room.

"What's up Tae?" Harley asked. Taehyung wasn't usually this panicked, unless something happened to Jimin. "Is Jimin okay?"

"Yes." Taehyung nodded with his head. "Chimmy is fine. I have news."

Jin looked at Harley, Harley looked back at Jin. "You're scaring me." Harley was the first to speak.

"Tae, focus." Jin demanded.

"Namjoon's father paid him a visit." He said through deep breaths. "I think he hit him. Namjoon was beaten by his father."

"Ok." Jin didn't like where this is going. "You think he's alright? I should go check on him."

"No." Taehyung yelled. "I heard them talk. Namjoon was supposed to hit Jimin, he was supposed to get close to you, Jin."

The twin's eyes widen in shock. "You're telling me Namjoon's father hit him because he stopped beating Jimin and because he doesn't talk to Jin anymore?" Harley asked. Jin was still stunned.

"Yes. Mr. Kim said it was Namjoon's job." Taehyung clarified.

"So I was right." Harley sighed and sat on the bed. "They were playing with us all along."

"I'm going to kill him." Jin wanted to run through the door and show Namjoon exactly who he was. Taehyung sat in front of the door, holding him back.

"Jin. Stop." Harley yelled. "Tae, can you leave us alone for a moment? Thank you for telling us the truth. Please don't say that to anyone."

"I'll keep it to myself. Please be careful. I don't want you to get hurt." Taehyung pleaded.

"We will. Thank you Tae." Harley kissed Taehyung's cheek before the boy left. "This is a turn of events."

"How could they?" Jin ran his hand through his hair. "How far would they go? Yoongi is pretending to like you, Namjoon let me fuck him. For fuck sake, this is so fucked up."

"We need to think this logically. Why us?"

"I don't know." Jin closed his eyes. He was counting his breaths to calm himself. He was pretty shaken up by the revelation, still not shocked though. In a way he expected that. What were the odds that Jin would give him a chance, and in the same day, his chance just shattered? Dust in the wind.

Harley paced the room back and forth. She replayed in her mind everything that happened since they arrived at the faculty. Form the moment they stepped in, both guys had their eyes on them. All this back and fourth between them, was only a play to get the twins addicted to them.
"The journal." Harley suddenly spoke.

Jin raised his eyebrow. "Huh? Why do you bring the journal up?"

"Hear me out." Harley sat on Sohee's bed. "They had their eyes on us since they saw us. Jimin told us a bit about the university. Do you think it's a coincidence the names of the founders are Min and Kims?"

"Now that you mention... It's a possibility."

"Exactly. And who would have access to my room anyway? Sohee doesn't know, she didn't have visitors, I've asked her. The door is always locked. So bottom line, Yoongi was the only one who stepped inside this room aside us."

"It makes sense. Do you think they believe we have any connection to the original Kim?"

"Let's see." Harley sat at her desk and opened her computer. "I'm gonna search our lineage. Let's see if we have a connection with one of them."

Harley accessed their family records, traced it carefully back to the 1800. Indeed it appeared to have been related to one Kim Jihoon. She then looked up all the information regarding the said Jihoon. They found out he owned the university, but suddenly disappeared when his friends were killed, their bodies were never recovered. Afterwards, the university was handed out from family to family until it ended up in the hands of the Parks.

"It says here that the bodies of Kandae and Jungyon were never found." Harley took a deep breath. "Jin, Jihoon is our ancestor."

"Fuck." Jin sighed. "Check the family tree of Min and the other Kim. See if they are related to Yoongi and Namjoon."

Harley did as she was told. She accessed each record for each family, and gasped when she saw they were all related. "It's true. They are related."

Jin was quiet for a couple of minutes. The silence of the room was disturbingly suffocating. "I think they are using us to get to the contract."

"I don't know anything about any contract."

"Next weekend we have to go home. We need to talk to grandpa." Jin mumbled.

"What are we going to do until then?"

"I'm going to forgive Namjoon, you're going to continue with Yoongi." An evil smile appeared on Jin's face. "Let's make them fall in love and break them to pieces."

"I love this very much." Harley agreed with the same evil smile. It run in the family after all.
