HER BELOVED

1

Nao looked around, her fingers unconsciously clutching the folder in her hand as her gaze roamed what would be her room from now on. The room was bigger than her entire apartment so far, but that didn't mean she had to like it. Nao sighed heavily approaching the bed, she picked up her suitcase and sat next to it, stretching out her legs and looked at the folder with hatred.

That cardboard paper had changed her whole life, it had taken everything away from her, her peace, her happiness, her freedom. "Nao?" she jumped up, clutching the folder to her chest. "What do you want?" the disgust in her voice cut through the boundless malice Nao felt towards the man opposite her. "Nao, I did it for your own good" he sighed and shook his head. "For my good? Who are you to decide for me what is good and what is not for my life?" she hissed, tears filling her eyes.

"Nao, there was a reason you grew up this way, to keep you away from everything." he stepped towards her and she held up a hand to stop him. "Don't you dare approach me, Kim Namjoon!" he looked at her desperately but stopped. "Nao, please..." she shook her head and took a step back, looking at him so coldly and with such hatred that his heart almost stopped. "You took everything from me, Kim Namjoon, not only that, but you threw me into the arms of a man I don't know, you ruined me and my life!" Nao yelled at him, wiping her tears with the back of her hand.

"I'm trying to protect you, Nao, I'm your brother, I would never..." she screeched, loud and piercing, slamming the folder into the ground, shaking her head hysterically with her eyes closed. "You will never be my brother, I don't know who you are, I don't know you!" Nao screamed at him, tearing his soul to shreds. "I never stopped watching you Nao, with our father and then after his death, you are my sister, I would never hurt you!" Namjoon tried to calm her down, to convince her that everything that had happened in her life so far was only to keep her safe.

"Go away" she looked away from him and turned her back on him. "Nao, please hear me..." she covered her ears with her hands and he sighed. "Okay, we'll talk when you calm down" he stared at her tense shoulders for a moment, her back arched, he could hear her sobs and they hurt him like no one ever could. "I love you, Nao" he murmured quietly and walked out of the bedroom, leaving his sister to process the recent events in her life.

"She'll understand you, hyung" Namjoon nodded and sat down on the couch next to Jin, not only his friend but now his brother-in-law. "She hates me, Taehyung, she hates all of us" Namjoon propped his elbows on his knees and put his head in his hands. "What Nao is going through isn't easy Namjoon" Hoseok handed him a glass of whiskey and he gratefully sipped the bitter liquid.

"In just two days, she discovered that her parents are not her parents, that she has a brother who is a mobster, with enemies at that, that her parents are dead, killed by these same enemies, that her whole life so far is was arranged and ended up being married to a man she doesn't know" Hoseok put a hand on his shoulder. "Give her time to recover" Namjoon nodded, he knew that sooner or later Nao would understand and accept what had happened, if not, at least she would make up.

"Thanks hyung" Namjoon put his hand on Jin's knee and looked at him, Jin smiled. "There's nothing to thank me for, Namjoon, you know any of us would do that for others." he shook his head, leaning back. "I promised you I'd take care of your sister, I'm just keeping my promise." he shrugged and took a sip of his own drink. "I know, and thanks and sorry anyway, you're going to have a hard time with her at first." Namjoon muttered and shook his head for the umpteenth time.

"I'll handle it, the more important thing is that Woobin doesn't get to her" Jin smiled slightly, but he himself had no idea how he would handle the woman upstairs. "Still, I wonder how he managed to find her, except for us, no one outside of this room knew of your sister's existence" Yoongi joined in the conversation. "I don't know, I always made sure none of my people watched her for more than a month and then I killed them" Namjoon looked thoughtfully into his glass.
