Chapter 28

"Rise and shine baby bunny" Yoona said with a sweet voice, watching Jungkook as his eyes fluttered open and he stretched his arms, a yawn escaping from his mouth. She had been waiting for him to wake up from his nap for quite some time, and she was getting impatient.

"What's with the new nickname? " Jungkook asked groggily, voice a little hoarse.

"Just get up, I've got a few questions and very little time" Yoona said, mind going back to her phone call with Namjoon, who had told her to meet up in an hour.

"Sure, let's go" Jungkook said, wearing a hoodie and combing his hair with his fingers before making his way to her.

The siblings made their way to the living room and sat on the couch, with Jungkook soon noticing the photo album in the table in front of them. At the thought that Yoona's questions might be about that album, he felt shivers run down his spine.

Without saying anything, Yoona grabbed the album and started looking through the photos together with Jungkook, both laughing at old memories only they knew and no one else.

"Remember that time you filled my sneakers with water? I just put my foot in and got wet, and then I had to change my socks and sneakers all over again and I got late for school" Jungkook burst out laughing at the picture of little him cringing at a wet sock with carrots printed all over it.

"Yeah yeah, you went full on crybaby mode" Yoona laughed at the memory. Jungkook's facial expression that moment was truly a work of art.

As they skipped through the pages, they came across to the picture of them in the amusement park for Jungkook's sixth birthday, and the boy got so excited upon seeing that photo, mentioning a dozen of funny things the two had done that day, without knowing that in Yoona's memories it was one of her worst days.

Then there were no other photos.

"Kookie, why don't I have any photos of me being younger than this one? I always asked mom and dad, but they kept dodging the question and until this day I don't know why, so can you tell me?" Yoona asked, big and confused eyes staring at her older brother in oblivion.

"So they never told you, huh?" Jungkook said, eyes not focusing at his sister in front of him, but at the album in her hands.

"Nope" Yoona shrugged, making sure to pop the 'p'.

"We were too young then, and to be honest, I barely remember it, I had just turned five years old and you were about two at the time. We used to live somewhere else then, and our house caught fire. We made it out safe and sound, but everything we had was burned down to ash. Our family started a new life somewhere else, but the photos we had until then of you were all gone" Jungkook said calmly, looking at Yoona straight in the eye.

"So that's why I'm so afraid of fire until this day... it's strange I seriously have no recollection of it though" Yoona trailed off, tilting her head in confusion.

"You were too young, so I guess you just forgot about that scary incident" Jungkook shrugged, wrapping his arms around Yoona's tiny frame.

"But then why do you have your baby photos if everything we used to have burned down to ash at the old house?" Yoona asked curiously, making Jungkook halt for a moment.

After a few seconds of painful silence, Jungkook finally spoke up.

"I never understood that either, our parents didn't really tell much about it as I also was only a child, but from what I understand, they had copies of my photos at the place they had printed them, and then they just printed my photos again" Jungkook shrugged.

And again only his photos were saved, not mine...

Was it really that hard to treat me like your daughter at least once?

Yoona hugged Jungkook tighter, not feeling any ounce of despise towards him despite the fact he was always the favorite child of the family. She was sad at their parents, but that was all.

"You know we both like hugs and are enjoying this moment, but didn't you tell me you had very little time, cupcake?" Jungkook asked, making Yoona's eyes widen as she remembered she had to meet up with Namjoon.

She immediately pulled out of the hug and rushed to wear something presentable, she was meeting up with a police officer, after all.

'Don't tell anyone you're meeting up with me, not even Jungkook'

Namjoon's words rang in her head, confusing her.

"Why wouldn't he want anyone to know were meeting up?" Yoona whispered to herself as she made her way out of the room, a few rustles which came from the kitchen making her realize Jungkook was cooking.

"I'm going out Kookie, I won't be late" Yoona shouted before making her way out of the apartment.

"Let's see what does Namjoon have to tell me which is so secretive"
