FORTY ONE: BROTHER

END OF FLASHBACK

THIRD PERSON POV

"We were young, dumb... and in love, Yuuri. It was more than 10 years ago. Although, it was the only time in my life where I was truly happy," Baekhyun said as he looked at her.

"I don't understand. That day... the first time we went against each other on court, that was the day you started to hate me, what did I do? Baekhyun, what did I do to piss you off so bad? I haven't seen you ever since we broke up," Yuuri replied and San's eyes widened.

"What's this? A drama between the senior attorney of Jungkook and the senior attorney of SAN? This is interesting," San grinned and Yeonjun rolled his eyes.

"Yuuri noona, you dated this scumbag? Now I wonder why he stayed single, no one wanted to date him," Yeonjun muttered and Baekhyun glared at him.

"You, do you want it the hard way? Inject it into Yuuri, now," Baekhyun narrowed his eyes and Yeonjun crossed his arms.

"No, I won't do it. Rather than, I'd do it to myself rather than do it to her," Yeonjun said as he aimed the syringe into his neck.

"Do it to Yuuri, I had enough with you, brother," San said, and Yeonjun's eyes widened as a gun was suddenly aimed at him.

"Do it or you die," San said.

"San, you never change. You're always spoiled as ever even after father retired," Yeonjun said, unfazed.

"But either way, I would never do anything to Yuuri noona, over my dead-"

Suddenly, Yeonjun's body jolted forward, and he landed on the ground with his eyes closed as the syringe rolled down the ground.

"What is this? I set fire and escaped here and I see another commotion here?" A voice echoed, and San's smile widened.

"Namjoon! What are you doing here? Aren't you safeguarding the LIVV?" San said, and Namjoon looked at the syringe with a stoic expression, in his hand was a tazer, which he used to taze an old friend.

"What are you doing with this mess again, San? Can't you see this place is burned down and we're all stuck in the exit? Yet you're taunting a senior attorney who can easily get evidence on you," Namjoon said and San chuckled.

"We just wanted a specific rat here to learn her lesson, something she'll regret for the rest of her life," San said.

Namjoon looked at Yeonjun's body that was unconscious. He sighed as he stared at him.

He grew up, into a successful man out of the underground world.

Yet here he is, in a crowd full of evil people.

I'm sorry, Yeonjun.

"Give me the syringe," Namjoon said as he looked at San.

JUNGKOOK POV

"I'll come find you, Jungkook."

"I promise... we will never be apart."

My eyes slowly opened as I felt air in my lungs again. I coughed lightly, and I looked at the white ceiling above me.

Then, I slowly turned to the side.

My eyes widened as I came face-to-face with another person.

On the bed.

"Y-you pulled me here, and you were holding my hand too tight," a voice said and I felt all the heat into my body as I fell straight to the floor.

"aH! S-soujin! Wh-why are you here? Wait, why were we holding hands? Are we both in heaven?" I said, and Soujin laughed lightly as she sat up.

"We're not. We're in Yuuri's home, and Taehyung brought us here," Soujin replied, and I sighed in relief.

I touched my cheeks that were burning red as I stared at her, and the feeling of her soft skin on mine was implanted in my memory as I looked at the window.

"We're... saved," I sighed and Soujin looked at Taehyung and Hoseok who were both asleep on the couch.

"I.... know about your story. How you have a twin brother," Soujin said, and I looked at her.

"Oh... so you know about Jihoon, huh," I said as I slowly stood up, looking at her.

"If you meet Jihoon, he'd be glad to meet you, I think. I haven't seen him in a year, so I don't know how he's doing. But one thing is for sure," I said as I looked at my hands.

"I miss him a lot. Because it feels like I'm not at my best when he's absent," I said, and Soujin smiled as she walked towards Jungkook.

"I'll help you find him, no matter what," Soujin said, and she suddenly wrapped her arms around my waist before hugging me tightly.

"W-wait, wh-what was that for?" I asked as my cheeks turned red, and Soujin sighed.

"I figured you might need a hug. Everyone needs a hug, Jungkook. I can feel how much sorrow is in you whenever you talk about Jihoon, so I want learn the sides of you I've never seen before," Soujin said.

"Is it okay for me... to know what you've been keeping in your heart? Is it okay for you if you can open up to me?" Soujin said as she looks up to meet me in the eyes, and I looked at her for a second before smiling softly.

"What if the one I've been keeping in my heart.... would I hurt you?" I asked.

"Then, I'll take that fall. I'm prepared ever since I chose this path, whether it may affect me or not is not my problem, because I want the truth, even if it's painful," she replied.

"Then, I want to be the one to protect you from that. In return, will you also open your heart to me?" I replied.

THIRD PERSON POV

"Agh... where is Jungkook, Soujin, Taehyung, and Yeonjun. This is getting insane," Jimin said as they just got themselves on the ground. And Yoongi sighed as he looked at the flames.

"We should escape before the police come," Yoongi said as they both started to walk away.

Then suddenly, Jimin's eyes widened as he felt a loud noise in the air.

BANG!

"Jimin! Watch out!" Yoongi yelled as he covered Jimin, and Jimin looked over at the shadow that was heading towards them.

"Stop right there. You have something that's not yours, I assume?" A voice said, and Yoongi's eyes widened.

"Y-you....

...what are you doing here, Seokjin hyung?"
