It was the beginning of a new day.

That meant Y/N had spent a whole day with her stepfamily.

And she enjoyed it.


The shining sun hit brightly on the two young sleeping siblings faces, and a groan escaped their mouths.

They somehow managed to sleep in a comfortable position, even after being clinged up in each other's arms.

Y/N snuggled deep into Jungkook's broad chest as his grip tightened on her thin waist.

~CuAsE If I CaN't Be ClOsE tO YoU~

Their peace was disturbed by Y/N's phone ringing. She groaned again before moving her hand towards the bedside table and grabbing her phone. She annoyingly answers the call.

"Hello?" Her Lethargic voice asks

"Hi, I'm calling from Birmingham City Hospital; is this Ms. Y/n Hwang I'm speaking to?" The lady asked from the other side of the line, her voice projecting professionally.

"Yes, this is her." Y/N's voice was firm now; she jolted up and sat with a straight face.

"Oh lovely! Is this the right time to have a word with you?"

"Yh"



That was 20 minutes ago. After talking on the phone for 12 minutes and 28 seconds, Y/N was left deep in thought, thinking about all the information she had just received.

She shoots her eyes at Jungkook, who was just waking up, and her face immediately changes from sad to happy. Even if it was fake, she was just very good at hiding her feelings or specifically acting.

"You up?" He glances at her and nods, sitting up.

"I haven't slept so comfortably in a while, to be honest," she chuckles. "Same," she thinks in her mind, not wanting to say it out loud.

"It's 10 past 12, by the way." His orbs widen.

"I slept that long."


Y/n POV:
"Mhm"

Indeed, I slept that long without my pills. At least there is something that I can be happy about for the day.

I glance at Jungkook; I know I'm not an idol, but I just happened to realise how tough their lives can get—overworking, diets, scandals, dealing with haters, but most importantly, 'hard work, and I see it all in his eyes.

"Oppa..." I try to speak further, but my mind seems to have taken control of my speech. I tend to speak, but no words come out of me.

One word, 'fear'. The fear of losing a loved one rushed all over my body, mind, soul, and heart. I breathe out before adding a fake smile to my face.

"You should go get ready. Then, let's meet downstairs again!" He smiled back at me.



"Look who finally decided to wake up from a deep slumber!" Jimin spoke to Jungkook and eyed him in a judgmental way. I'm glad to know I'm not his only target.

I did come down with Jungkook; I just happened to be too small to perfectly hide behind his broad, well-built, big body.

"Where's Y/N, son?"

"here!" I peek out from behind Jungkook and give everyone a wave with an eye-smile.

"Wow! You guys are so early!" Taehyung's sarcasm hit my ears, and when I looked at him, he was already looking at me and Jungkook.

"Oh no! and I rushed down, thinking I was late!" I gave him a bored look, and at that, I heard snickers come from Mr. Kim and some of the boys.

Taehyung looks at me as if I had grown two heads.

"Anyway, sweetie, what time are your friends arriving?" Mr. Kim asks

"Anytime soon, Mr. Kim; I mean, it's afternoon already." I nervously scratch the back of my head. "Mom's in the kitchen?"

"Yh." I nod at him and walk out of the hall after shooting Taehyung one last glare.



~DiNg DoNg~

The bell rings, indicating someone is here. The eldest of the house, who happened to be the most sensible and least annoyed, walked to the door and opened it.

As soon as the door opened, the two siblings, who looked like they were having an argument, looked at the couple. Lisa and Jackson hug Mrs. Kim, to which she gladly hugs them back, accepting them as her own kids. Then the siblings look at Mr. Kim and shake hands with him, wearing genuine smiles.

Their eyes then moved to the seven boys standing behind the couple. They had their most famous 'fake' smiles on—the same smiles they would normally have when being interrogated on camera by some annoying interviewers—the same smiles no one could tell were fake.

Lisa, being the sweetheart she is, just like her best friend, gave them a small smile and waved, and Jackson almost did the same, just without the smile.

The boys did wave back with a smile, though, except their minds did not match their actions. Jealous much?

"Where's Y/N at?" Lisa questions Mrs. Kim.

"Room? One sec. Y/N!"

"Coming mom!" I reply, and a few seconds later I come out of my hiding spot, which was behind the staircase. I look at Jackson, Oppa, and Lisa. They both had their arms wide open, Lisa in front of Jackson.

I run under Lisa's opened hands and jump on Jackson, hugging the shit out of him. He tightly grips me, not wanting me to fall down, and spins me around.

"I missed you!" I say

"Me too," He replies.

He then puts me down, and when we look behind us, we see eight possessive-looking demons piercing into our souls through their eyes. Lisa looked like she'd explode any minute, and low-key the boys too...


I somehow managed to avoid that intense moment we had a few minutes ago, so right now we are seated at the dining table with mouthwatering food served to us. I was made to sit between Lisa and Jungkook, and Jackson sat opposite Jungkook with Mom and Jin beside him.

"Just so you remember, I am your soulmate," Lisa whispered to me. Her voice reflected how pissed she was.

"C'mon Lisa! I hugged Oppa first because I'm seeing him after a whole year and Me and you just met like on the wedding night that was 2 days ago." I whispered back.

"Whatever," she says, rolling her eyes.

"What are you two talking about?" Jackson asks, looking towards us with a smirk, as if he already knew the answer to his own question.

"Nothing that should concern you, brother!" Lisa gives him a tight smile.

Oh, I get what's happening; these two siblings made a bet about who I'd hug first. It wouldn't be the first time they've done this.

I chuckle at their chidish act.


And just like that, we were done eating lunch. Mom and dad throughout made sure to make Lisa and Jackson comfortable; they spoke to them and asked them about themselves.

My stepbrothers, on the other hand, just could not get enough of glaring at Jackson. From the moment he stepped in until now, they haven't muttered a single word to him or Lisa.

Jungkook tries to take me away from Jackson every chance he gets, and Lisa wasn't any less careful either; she tried to keep me only beside her.

Let's just say Jackson, mom, and dad were the only ones acting sane, and this is pretty abnormal for Jackson, knowing his overdramatic personality.


After about an hour, mom and dad got ready to leave for their company because they had some unfinished work to complete. When they both left, we decided to go to the mall to hang out.

Well, technically, It was Jackson and Lisa's idea, and since Lisa was going, I agreed to go. That's when the boys immediately volunteered to go too, because they didn't have anything better to do and were apparently bored.

But did I trust that excuse? Of course not.


They go to their rooms and come down with their masks on; they did not want to get followed by creeps, and I call paparazzi creeps because they are.

We then leave to go to the mall in the boys limousine.

'Hashtag rich billionaire life check.'

I was about to go sit beside Jackson, but Jungkook pulled me towards him, making me sit between him and Lisa AGAIN. I just rolled my eyes, starting to feel annoyed.


When we finally reached the mall, we started to roam around, visiting different stores there, and we did get some suspenseful stares.


We were in Louis Vuitton right now, looking around, when Lisa suddenly held my hand and dragged me to the party wear section. She then picked a few eye-catching dresses and put them in front of me.

"Try these on." I give her a look, then grab the dresses and go to the changing room right behind me. Together, they were four dresses to try on, and I can never lie about Lisa having good taste when it comes to dressing.

A/n POV:

Not finding Y/N anywhere, they spot a standing Lisa scrolling through her phone.

The boys approach her, and she looks up from her phone and gives them a small yet visible smile.

"Y/n?" Jungkook asks

"Oh, she's trying on some dresses I picked for her; she's right in there." She points to the door in front of her, and the boys nod and take a seat on the sofas there, waiting for Y/N.

Jackson arrives and stands next to Lisa too. A few seconds later, they heard the door click and saw Y/N stepping out.

The boys gasped in amusement, glancing at her eternal appearance. Lisa smiles at her best friend, not being amazed; she knew her Soulmate was breathtaking without any effort. Jackson gives her a thumbs up, not surprised by her charms either.

"Now twirl around!" Lisa exclaims

She does so, and that's when the boys drop their faces to be serious. Something that bothered them about the dress was that it was backless.

"We should definitely get this!" Lisa squeals.

"Y/n" Jungkook gives her a stern look, as do her other stepbrothers and Jackson.

"Go, change!" Jackson states.

"What? why?! There is nothing wrong with it!" Lisa tries to protest, but, oh boy,

Y/N senses the tension and returns to the changing room to try another one on. Lisa glares at the boys, then looks away, rolling her eyes.

When Y/N comes out again, her outfit is worse than before. It was a bodycon dress in black.

"Too Reaveling"

"It shows your shoulders."

"It is too short."

They kept rejecting every dress she wore. They had successfully managed to trigger Lisa's last straw and piss Y/N off.

Having had enough, she finally went out wearing a suitable dress the boys could never reject; it reached her knee, covering half of it; it was a long sleeve with see-through light pink material; and it perfectly covered her back. It was overall matched up in shades of pink and a flared satin dress.

'Simple yet exquisite'

She looked absolutely beautiful in it. The boys finally smiled and gave her an approving look, to which she and Lisa both rolled their eyes.


A male worker in that store who was passing by happened to lay his eyes on her. He stops walking and stares at her. Yes, in a creepy way. He was noticed by no one but Lisa.

'Heck, this is going to be fun, she thought and internally smirked.

Y/N, relieved, walked back in to change into her clothes. Noticing that she was gone, the male took the chance and walked to where all the siblings were. He bowed to them, and only the boys bowed back. He took the sign and shamelessly asked.

"The girl in the room—whose girl is she?"

"That's our sister!" Jin replies, oblivious to his true intentions.

"Like all of you?" the boys nodded.

"that's great! Can I have her number then?" All of the boys look at him dumbfounded, but when they realise it, they send him glares.

"Why ask them when you can directly ask me?"

They hear a voice and look behind, just to see Y/N standing there with all the dresses she had tried on in her hands. She had a smile flash on her lips towards the boy; it's the smile she gives people before destroying them for messing with her.

However, only Jackson and Lisa were familiar with this look of hers; the boys weren't, which made them frown at her actions, and the male continued to take a 'yes' for his words.

"Really? You're going to give it to me?" His face lit

"No." and dropped just as she said this with a straight face.

"Nah, I'm just kidding; maybe try asking with more fellings!" The boys were way confused and shocked at this point.

That man cleared his throat.

"You woman, with the charms of a goddess, can I have your number so we can hang out together sometime... just us?" He winks, Lisa and Jackson scrunch their noses up in disgust, and the boys glare more intimidatingly at his back that is facing them.

Jungkook was about to go up to that guy until Lisa walked to them and whispered

"Guys! Let her handle this her way."


"Aww, definitely Not!" She again turned serious. "Now, scram if you don't want your 213 bones to be multiplied!" The guy looks at her dumbfounded, not realising what she really meant.

"Dude, she means she'll break your bones!" Lisa cheered from behind him. He then runs away, embarrassed.

Jackson then walks to Y/N and wraps his hand around her shoulder, giving her a proud smile, while Lisa bursts out laughing, running towards Y/N and playfully hitting her shoulder.

The boys (BTS) look at the three of them with small smiles, but a tint of Jealousy rises in them when they see her happy with someone who isn't them.

"Ok, let's go check out; here's my card." He pulls out his black card, 'such a brag, and drags Y/N to the till to check out. Lisa follows them.


"Wait! Why is he paying for my sister? I should be doing that," Jungkook says, and the boys nod and rush to go to the till, but it's too late.

They hate Jackson even more now.

"Ah!" Y/N yelped when she felt a weight on her shoulder pulling her away from Jackson. She looked up and saw a pissed Jungkook glaring at him.

"Why don't we go grab something to eat?" He questions the glare fixed on Jackson.

"Nope, not yet; we've got to get you guys something too, one sec!" She then went around the store before anyone could react. After some time, she came back with eight elegant suits and a soft-coloured dress.

She went to them and placed an outfit she had selected for each in their hands.

"Now try these on, gooo hurryyy." They did not protest and went to try their outfits on. Curious. They were curious about how they looked in the outfits their only sister selected.


It was the boys first time, not Lisa and Jackson's; they already knew they would look amazing in anything she picked... She had the best taste in everything.

As soon as they all came out one after the other, she admired their looks. And it would be a lie to say they did not like her choice. They were quite satisfied with it, actually. It did suit them well.

They then changed, and when they stepped out, she took all of their suits and dresses in her hands and went out of sight again.

They tried searching for her everywhere and even tried calling her. Lisa, knowing her best, suggested they wait at the exit, and there she was just coming out of the store, walking towards them with 10 bags in her two hands and a wide smile flashing on her lips. She gives each of them their belongings.

"Now, we can go eat something." They just stared at her, though.

"Cmon, I did not steal them! I paid for it!" she whines

"Where did you get the money from?" Jimin and Taehyung ask:

"I saved some from my daily allowance in case of emergencies, and it's a gift, by the way, so keep in mind you can't return those!"

She then looks at Lisa and drags her to the food court. The boys followed along with a warm feeling in their hearts; it was clear by now that they adored her and were on the verge of completely accepting her.

Some of them might not admit it, but that was the harsh truth.
