Jungkook stood momentarily frozen, watching his brother retreat, before he shook off his shock and followed briefly, only to turn back towards the guest room to grab his suitcase, the weight of the situation pressing heavily on his heart. He intended to go to his brother's house, needing space to think.

"Namjoonie, please listen to me. Let me explain why I asked you to marry Jungkook. Just hear me out. Open the door," Jin pleaded, his voice tense yet filled with concern.

"No... just go away. I don’t want to talk to you. You’re being ridiculous right now," Nam shouted angrily, his voice echoing through the closed door. Jin, usually patient, felt pushed to his limits.

"Maybe I am being ridiculous, right? I care about your future. But you know what... you’re acting like a coward... a complete coward who shirks his responsibilities... Kim Namjoon is a coward..."

His last statement hit Nam’s ego and reputation hard, the weight of his words igniting something deep within Nam.

After a moment of silence, he reluctantly unlocked the door, opening it to find Jin standing there with a serious yet understanding expression. Nam felt a mix of irritation and longing as his brother smiled knowingly.

Without a word, Jin pulled Nam into a tight hug. Despite his frustrations, Nam found himself unable to push Jin away, the embrace offering an unexpected comfort that he desperately needed.

" know how to convince you. I didn’t mean what I said, Namjoon. No one understands how much my little brother manages his responsibilities better than I do. And now you need to take responsibility for Jungkook."

Nam was confused about why his Hyung was addressing him in this manner, sensing an urgency in Jin's tone.

" But... Hyung... Jung...."

"Namjoonie... You've isolated yourself in that room for weeks after losing your love, Jack, and I was there to provide you with emotional comfort and support. But have you truly thought about Jungkook, who also lost his only brother and is now completely alone, with no one to help him through this agonizing time?"

Then it struck him like a lightning bolt. He began to recognize the depth and the tragic truth in Jin's words. In his grief-stricken haze, Nam had never considered Jungkook, the younger brother of his love.

A flood of memories rushed back to him—the way Jungkook had come to see him several times during his self-imposed isolation, desperately knocking and pleading with him to open the door, his voice filled with anguish, but Nam had chosen to ignore him, wrapped up in his own sorrow.

"Ju... Jungkook."

"Yes, Namjoonie. You need to look after Jungkook because he has no one else. You are the only person he truly trusts at this moment. He's too young to carry such heavy burdens on his shoulders. He can't manage the weight of Jackson's legacy or the dreams that were woven into his brother's life. Namjoonie..."

Nam leaned in closer, his interest piqued and his heart racing, eager to absorb every word as Jin continued, an intense seriousness etched on his face.

"You are now part of Jackson's dream company, and with his untimely passing, it has become your responsibility to manage. But do you know what is the most important aspect in all of this? Jungkook dreams of being a dancer, just as Jackson once hoped his younger brother would embrace that same dream..."
