Brother || BTS ff

Chapter 42

"Hello Yoona, how have you been?" Namjoon asked, smiling brightly at her. Yoona pulled the chair opposite to him and sat down, already noticing the small white envelope placed right in the middle of the table.

"Good, I guess? What about you, Joon?" the girl replied, unsure, fiddling with her fingers.

"Very well, especially lately. And I'll be much better soon. So, are you ready to open this envelope?" he asked excitedly.

"Honestly, no. And I'd love it if you don't say anything which could spoil its contents to me" Yoona said, looking down as she reached for the envelope. She took it slowly and then put it in her bag, not even sparing it a glance.

Namjoon was a bit taken aback by her words and actions, but soon understood the girl. Just weeks ago, she had a normal life, with her lovely brother and a mystery she hoped would be solved. Then, the fact she could be adopted is just thrown in her face, turning her life upside down. He honestly felt bad for her.

"Okay Yoona, as you wish. Would you like us to hang out for a while or do you want to leave immediately?" he softly said, knowing that his mellow voice would help ease her mind a bit.

"I'd better leave Joon, but anyway thank you for the offer and for the kindness. In case I need to know anything, I'll contact you immediately" Yoona said, forcing a smile for the sake of the dimpled police officer who had helped her so much.

"Same here, dear. Stay safe" Namjoon gave her a visibly not forced smile, and then she got up and left. Taking out her phone, she dialled a number.

"Tae? Are you free to meet up today?"

'Sure, is there anything you'd like to do?'

"Let's go bungee jumping"

'Uhh... I'm a bit scared of heights my love'

"Fine, let's go to the amusement park"

'Okay love, I'm getting ready. See you in half an hour'

"See you" Yoona said, then hung up. Maybe she wasn't sure whether she loved Taehyung or not, but he had done so much for her willingly that she was willing to learn how to love him, how to help him when he needed, just like how he had done for her. She didn't want to go to the amusement park at all that day, she was totally for bungee jumping, but if Taehyung was afraid of heights, then so be it.

"No scary rides for today..." she whispered to herself in a sing song voice, making her way to the amusement park where she would meet Taehyung.

*time skip

Yoona opened the door of her apartment, immediately going for her bed as she plopped on it, no energy in her body after such a tiring day. After riding all the rides of the amusement park except the scary ones, she couldn't even move an inch.

Her heart was light though.

She had had so much fun with Taehyung that at least for a few hours she had forgotten about the DNA test results and all the stress that came with it.

But guess all good things come to an end.

As she took her bag off her shoulder, she took the dreaded envelope out and sighed heavily.

"Let's just get this over with..." she said, opening the envelope and immediately reading the results.

She felt her chest tighten, breath hitch, eyes glisten with tears and the world started spinning. Her silent sobs filled the whole room as she clenched the white sheet of paper tightly, feeling as alone as ever in the world despite the fact she had so many people who cared for her and would come running to her aid the moment she asked for it.

"Why did it have to be like this? What wrong have I done in my life to have this thrown my way? Why can't I just live a peaceful life with the person I love the most in the world?" she burst out crying, hugging her knees as she curled up in a little ball.

She cried and cried.

Not hearing the sound of the front door opening, nor the sound of footsteps coming nearer and nearer her bedroom.

"Cupcake, how are y-" the words were stuck in Jungkook's throat as he witnessed his dear younger sister crying miserably, all alone in her bed. He immediately rushed to her side, wrapping his arms around her frail figure tightly and rocked her back and forth. He was dying to know what or who had made her cry, but he brushed it off at the moment.

Comforting her came first, beating the person could wait for later.

While Jungkook kept rocking her, Yoona sneakily tucked the DNA results' paper under her bed sheets, not feeling ready to discuss the contents of the paper with him just yet.

Just a few peaceful moments with my dear brother before our life turns upside down...
