A few years ago.

It was when Namjoon was a cop.

"Hyung, you are late. If you come home late one more time, I will go to Daegu and not come back." Taehyung said, holding his sweater paws. Namjoon dimples showed up once he saw his little brother. He can't win against him any day.

"Taehyung ah, you know sometimes I can't be home on time and you promised me you will not complain as well," Namjoon said, walking towards Taehyung who was standing next to his fish tank. "I have cancelled the promise, you ain't coming late again," Taehyung said and Namjoon couldn't help but chuckle.

"I will try for it. Have you made dinner?" Namjoon questioned but Taehyung pressed his lips tightly, producing his bread cheeks, as he hasn't prepared anything. Namjoon sighed as he looked into his kitchen and he found nothing to make dinner as well.

"Ask Jimin to bring something, we can have together," Taehyung said but Namjoon shook his head no. "He already told me not to contact him tonight."

Taehyung sighed dramatically and Namjoon stared at him. "Okay, no worries. Be here, I will bring something to eat okay?" Joon said and that was when Taehyung smiled. "Hot chocolate as well," Taehyung added.

"Sure, just lock the door and wait for 15 minutes, I will be here back," Namjoon said before taking his bicycle and going to the nearest restaurant to bring food for his lovely brother.

Once he arrived, he quickly ordered and waited for them. As he was looking around, he saw YN's car. His eyebrows squinted when he wondered what she was doing here at this hour.

YN came outside along with Yoongi. Looking at that, he shrugged as if they would be here for some work.

Since he received his food, he quickly stepped out, only to bump into YN. Her eyes widened at him. She didn't expect him as well.

"Sorry," she mumbled before walking past him. Yoongi who was behind YN made eye contact with Namjoon before stepping inside the restaurant.

Not thinking much, Joon drove towards his house. It was only a few minutes away and he was humming some song. Even though he was given a car, he loves to use his bicycle.

As he was reaching his house, his eyebrows were furrowed when he saw a few people getting gathered around his house. He was so confused and when he reached his house, he saw that his own house was getting burned.

Moreover, to clench his heart tight, Taehyung was inside it.

Dropping the vehicle, he didn't wait before running towards the house. People were trying to hold him and the fire team was already there. He had no idea what the hell happened.

"Please do not go inside, Mr Kim. We have called for help, they will surely save your brother." One of the neighbours said but Namjoon wasn't listening. Namjoon shook his head, he was going speechless.

But before anyone can say anything, he rushed inside the house, leaving everyone's words behind. He barged into the house and screamed for Taehyung.

There was no reply from him.

And it was making him insane.

"Taehyung ah, your Hyung is here," Namjoon's eyes were tearing up. Taehyung was nowhere to be found and Namjoon was going sick.

He was searching for him everywhere and that was when his eyes landed on one of the cupboards. Taehyung's shirt was peeking out. Namjoon sighed heavily before storming towards it.

Once he opened it, he saw Taehyung was in there but he already fainted. It was heart-clenching to see him like that. He immediately hugged his body and without wasting any time he took him outside of the house.
