Y/n’s POV:
I’m so bored in this mansion… It’s already been three weeks since I last saw Jihoo. I hope he’s doing fine. I really want to meet him… but how? I’m afraid of Jungkook.

“Y/n, where are you?” Jungkook called from his room, but I was lost in my thoughts and didn’t hear him.

“Y/n?” he called again, louder this time, snapping me out of my daydream. My heart jumped—he must be angry because I didn’t respond earlier.

“C-coming…!” I quickly answered and went to his room.

“Yes?” I said softly, making him turn to look at me.

“What were you doing?” His cold stare made me lower my eyes.

“I-I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you…” I replied, my voice small. He must have noticed how nervous I was because he walked toward me.

“What happened?” His voice was unexpectedly gentle. I looked up at him in surprise—he rarely spoke this softly. Usually, his tone was dark and sharp.

“I… I miss my brother. I want to meet him,” I admitted quietly.

“That’s all? You should have told me earlier. I miss your savage brother too,” he chuckled, making me stare at him in shock. Since when did Jungkook act like this?

“Jack, bring Y/n’s brother here,” he ordered one of his men.

“Do you want anything else?” he asked. I shook my head.

“Alright, next time just tell me if you need something.”

“But… why did you call me here?” I asked.

“Oh, Ara is coming tonight.”

“Ara? Who’s that?” I asked, confused.

“My cousin. We met her last night at the party—remember?”

And then I remembered… she’s the one who called me a random girl who’s with Jungkook for money. Her words still sting.

“Y-yeah… I remember,” I said sadly.

He seemed to notice my change in mood. “Go take some rest. Your brother will be here soon,” he said, returning to his laptop.

I turned to leave but stopped, walking back in front of him.

“Do you want to say something?” he asked. I nodded. “Then say it.”

“Why are you being so nice to me?” I asked nervously.

“Do I need to talk rudely to you? If you want, I can start doing that from now on,” he replied coldly.

“Do you want that, Y/n?” he asked. “No,” I quickly said and left the room.

Later…

“Noona?” Jihoo called out, looking for me.

“Hyung?” he called Jungkook instead.

“Turn around,” Jungkook’s voice came from behind him.

“Where did you come from?” Jihoo asked.

“This is my house—I can come from wherever I want,” Jungkook replied coldly, sitting on the couch.

“Where’s Noona?”

“Maybe in the bedroom.”

“Then why isn’t she answering me?”

“She’s sleeping. I’ll go call her,” Jungkook said, standing up.

“Jungkook?” Ara’s voice interrupted. Both men turned to see her walking toward them.

“Hyung, who is she? Are you cheating on my Noona?” Jihoo asked angrily.

“Watch your mouth, young man! She’s my cousin. You’re lucky you’re Y/n’s brother—otherwise, I’d have killed you right now,” Jungkook whispered to Jihoo. “And about cheating on my wife… that will never happen. Don’t worry.”

Jihoo nodded.

Ara moved closer to Jungkook to hug him, but he stepped back.

“What happened?” she asked.

“Nothing. Sit down,” he replied.

“Who’s this guy?” Ara asked.

“Y/n’s brother,” Jungkook answered.

“Hyung, I’ll go call Noona,” Jihoo said, and Jungkook nodded.

In Y/n’s room…

“Hi, Y/n!” Ara greeted and quickly hugged me.

Then she whispered in my ear, “Don’t think Jungkook is yours. He was mine, is mine, and will always be mine.” She pulled back with a fake smile on her face.
