Step-brothers ||BTS FF

Chapter 18

The girls loud whimpers echoed all around the room.

She was losing control over her emotions in her best friend's embrace.

Everyone else who was present in the same room stood in complete awkwardness. Not just them; her best friend herself was positioned in an awkward hug along with her.

"Um, Lisa, I'm fine. Don't worry." Lisa just tightened the hug.

"You have no clue how worried I was!" She cried. Y/N caressed her back, attempting to calm her best friend down.

"Yah! Don't cry; I'm not dead yet!" Lisa abruptly pulled out, this time crying even harder.

"Can you not talk about dying?"

"Ok.. Ok..." Y/N tried to hug her back only to get pushed away by Lisa, who was a crying mess.

"I promise I'll not talk about dying again." She tried to hug her again, this time succeeding.

The parents and siblings present in the same room either pressed their lips together in a thin line to prevent themselves from laughing or stood there in complete confusion.

Jackson was recording.

"Now hush, little baby, don't you cry; everything is going to be alright." He sang to tease them.

The two pulled out of the hug and glared at him.

"MOM" "EOMMA"

"Jackson," Mrs. Kim warned, trying to hide her smile after seeing her kids, 'they've not changed'.

"Are you all just going to stand and watch?" Y/N looked towards her brothers. Their eyes were distended. 'They were crying too.'

She gave them a slight smile and gestured for them to come to her.

They glance at Lisa and look hesitant. Lisa chuckled and wiped her tears, getting up and standing beside her brother to give them space on the couch.

The boys immediately rushed towards Y/N and pulled her into a firm hug. They let all their tears fall.

Y/N's heart melted at their actions. A part of her was happy to know that they genuinely cared about her, but the other part of her was shattered by seeing their tears.

She hugged them back. They felt comforted.

They shared some time with their siblings, then pulled out.

This time, Y/N looked at the Kim couple, who stood right beside the couch. Mrs. Kim gave her daughter a smile, but her dried tears were still visible, at least to Y/N. Mr. Kim attempted to hide his worried face and wore a smile.

"How are you, sweetie?" They questioned. She stayed quiet.

Mrs. Kim wraps her hands around Y/N, securing her. She held back her tears. Not wanting to break down in front of her daughter again.

Guilt. She was guilty.

All her life since her first husband died, it was always Y/N who comforted her mother despite herself being broken, and in return, her mother just pushed her away and busied herself so much into working to the point where she barely saw her daughter again.

She loved her daughter to bits. More than anyone. No doubt.

This time she wanted to comfort her daughter, not her daughter comforting her mother. So she held back her tears.


Y/N gratefully hugged her mom back.

Her eyes land on Mr. Kim, who is nervously standing behind her. His eyes said that he wanted to hug his daughter too.

Y/N pulled out and stood up, scooting closer to Mr. Kim.

"Dad..." All of their heads shot up.

The feeling of joy overflowed Mr. Kim's heart. He had longed for his little stepdaughter to accept him and call him dad.

He immediately hugged her and smiled.

If they could accept her wholeheartedly, why not her?

Mrs. Kim was proud of Y/N and of the fact that she was willing to give up her past.

Her brothers and Mr. Kim were overjoyed that she had accepted them all.

Jackson and Lisa were also relieved for her.

Y/N was sure she loved them all equally and had wholeheartedly accepted them.

Soon the father and daughter felt multiple hands starting to wrap around them. Everyone joined the hug except Lisa and Jackson.

"You two need a special invite?" Mr. Kim asks: The two siblings give each other a glimpse, then run towards the family, joining their hug.

"They did not do anything to you, right?" Namjoon questioned her, passing her a glass of warm water.

"Nope!" she replies, taking the glass in her hands.

"How did they even manage to get their hands on you?" Jin's question brought a pause to her movements. They noticed the sudden change. Y/n, what did you do?" He projected in a firm voice.

"Um, basically..." she dictated word for word from the start till the end. She looked up and saw their shocked faces. She gave a nervous smile.

"Why would you follow them?" Taehyung facepalmed. Frustrated

"What if it did not go as planned?" Jungkook frowned

"What if they were armed?" Yoongi glared

"What if they had a backup plan?" hoseok sighed

"Why did you not call any of us first?" Jimin asked, feeling offended.

"Wait, and why wasn't I aware that I was meant to be picking you up?" Jackson folds his arms against his chest, raising his eyebrows.


Y/N takes a big breath before answering their endless list of questions.

"So Taehyung oppa I followed them because there wasn't any point in running; they were two big-built men, and homes or any stores weren't anywhere near. Kookie oppa, they looked too dumb to realise what was going on; you can tell from the way they did not even bother tying me up. Yoongi oppa, I made sure to scan them; I ain't that stupid. Hoseok oppa, again, they looked too dumb. Jimin Oppa, I did not want to bother you guys since you were at an important meeting. And Jackson Oppa, again, you had to meet with important clients today, so I did not want to bother you." She shrugged, and they all sighed in defeat.

"Y/n, remember that you would never be a disturbance to us! You are our little sister, and it's our responsibility to keep you safe! We love you, truly. So never hesitate to reach us, ok? We'll always have time for you, no matter what!" Her brothers explained, "Next time something like this happens, the first thing you do is call us, ok?" She nods

"Awww, I'm touched." Everyone chuckled.

"No, but honestly, Y/N, what would I do if something bad happened to you? Even if I saw a slight wound on you, I would jump off the bridge, and then my little sister would jump after me, and then Emma would get depressed, and then her husband, followed by his world-famous sons, and seeing them depressed, their powerful fandom would track down my dead body and kill it even more." Jackson dramatically gasped.

Lisa and Y/N gave him their poker faces.

"Is he high right now?"

"When is he not?"

"Anyway, you kids continue; I've got some work to complete at the company; I'll be back by morning." Mr. Kim announced, glancing at the time.

"At this time? It's 45 past 11 and you've just arrived today, right?" Y/n frowned. This announcement alerted the boys and Mrs. Kim.

"Um, yh, but there was some unfinished work left to complete, so..." Mrs. Kim replied, "Don't worry, we'll be back soon."

"If you say so,"

"Oh, yeah, Jackson and Lisa, you should stay over for the night, and Y/N, you need some rest, so I cancelled your class with Soobin for tomorrow, ok?" she noded.

Her brothers were quite satisfied knowing that the son of a demon wouldn't step a foot close to their sister, at least for one day.

"Thanks, Eomma and Mr. Kim," the Manobal siblings politely thanked the couple for letting them spend the night over.

The couple gave their daughter a last hug before leaving.


"Y/n, you should go to sleep." Hoseok sat beside her.

"Are any of you doing anything at all tomorrow?" She asks them

"No, we'll be home all day."

"Great! How about we have a movie night then?" She sat straight, getting excited.

"That's a good idea, but you need some rest, so some other day?"

"Nooo, please, I don't get any sleep this early-" She stopped speaking but had already grabbed all of their attention.

"What do you mean?" her brothers asked.

She let out a deep sigh.

"Are you sure you want to tell them?" Lisa holds her hand, and she just gives an assuring smile in return.

"If it has to come out someday, why not today?"

"What's going on?"

"As long as you're comfortable doing so, Y/N," Jackson said.

"Ok, so I have insomnia." They froze in shock. They were shocked to find out that a little girl her age had insomnia. Their minds were a mess. Why was she telling them this only now? Did she not trust them enough?

"No," they looked at her, "it's not that I did not trust you! I just did not want anyone's pity or to be treated differently. And mostly, I was embarrassed. The reason is because I have it at a very young age; it really makes me seem pathetic." She looked down. Lisa and Jackson wrapped their hands around her shoulder in a comforting manner.

The boys went quiet for a few minutes.

"You never have to feel different because you are not! You are our sister, and that will never change!" Jin stated proudly.

"So push all of your insecurities away!" Yoongi, Namjoon, Jungkook, and Taehyung exclaimed

"A wise human once told me, You're perfect just the way you are." Hoseok and Jimin beamed at her.

They once again shared a group hug.

"Ok, let's meet in the theatre room after getting fresh."

They all cheered and left for their rooms.

Lisa sat on the bed with her hands resting beside her and stared at Y/N, who was applying face cream, through the mirror.

"Wanna say something?" Lisa slightly nods, "Go ahead then."

"Don't be mad." Y/N puts a pause on her actions and looks at Lisa with a raised eyebrow. "At any point today... D-did you remember him or-"

"Never mention him again, Lisa! Never again!" Y/N clenches her jaw.

"Ok, ok, I'm sorry, my bad," she says, trying to calm her down. "Wait, you know the watch we gifted each other on our 13th year of friendship? It really came in handy!" Y/N sighs, calming herself down.

"I know, that's good! You guys could track me down, all thanks to the watch and you!" they chuckled. "We should go down now, if you're ready." They left the room.

The Kim couple stepped out of the car and walked around the place. Their body language, posture, and clothing screamed power.

They walked a little further until they reached their destination. Keeping their manners in mind, they first let out a soft yet loud knock on the door in front of them.

The door opened, revealing the same police officer from earlier who helped them find Y/N.

"Where are they?"

"In the hospital. Their heads were hurt quite brutally, but they survived."

"If they did survive, you know your job... They should regret even taking a look at our daughter."

"Yes, Mr. Kim."

"Have they spoken yet?"

"They did mumble someone's name on the way to the hospital." The couple raised their eyebrows.

"Hwang in-yeop"

"WHAT?"

The earth shook beneath Mrs. Kim's feet. She could not stand still. Her head spun. Her heart rapidly thumped against her chest. She held Mr. Kim's hand for support.


Who is he?
