Once Yuri has finished packing his and Jimin's bags, Yoongi arrives to bring him to his apartment. As Yuri places the bags in Yoongi's car, Yoongi places cameras throughout Jimin's and Yuri's apartment to make sure that Yunki doesn't try anything.

"So, Hyung said that you also have a fucked up family," Yuri tells Yoongi as Yoongi drives them to the apartment.

"Yes. I am sorry that I am placing you and Jimin in danger." Yoongi quietly sighs.

"There is no reason to apologize. This is the happiest that I have ever seen Hyung. He has always sacrificed his happiness to raise me. I always prayed that one day he would have someone who brings him happiness. My prayers have been answered." Yuri smiles and looks out of the window at the city.

"Your brother is the happiness and light that I never dared to dream of having," Yoongi whispers with a soft smile on his face.

"You and Hyung are a lot alike. You two are always sacrificing yourselves for others neglecting your own emotions. Hopefully, you two can break those habits." Yuri grins and looks at the man his brother is dating. "Did Hyung tell you that I am studying to take the civil service exam to get into the police academy?"

"He told me that you are studying for the exam, but he did not tell me why," Yoongi answers and stops at a stop light.

"The night that our parents died, a young officer was patrolling the area. He heard my screams and came running to our home despite the pouring rain and us being in a crime-riddled area that was dangerous for police. If he had ignored my cries, Hyung would have died. I want to be like the officer who saved Hyung." Yuri explains as he goes through the blurry memories of that frightening night.

Yoongi grips the steering wheel as he listens to Yuri's reason.

"Did you know that you look a lot like that officer? Hyung doesn't remember because he was dying, but I will never forget. I will never forget how the officer scooped both of us into his arms and ran to his vehicle then raced us to the hospital. Your scar wasn't as bad then as it is now." Yuri looks at Yoongi with curiosity sparkling in his eyes.

"That was my third night as a detective. I had just been assigned to watch that neighborhood. I will never forget that night. I will never forget how your brother who was barely alive whispered and begged me to protect you. That was the night that I realized how important my job is." A tear trickles down Yoongi's face as he stares up at his apartment window which is shining with light since Jimin is waiting for them.

"Have you been watching over us this whole time?" Yuri asks and watches as Yoongi takes a deep breath.

"I watched over you two until I went undercover.  After going undercover, I knew that watching over you two would only endanger you, so I stopped. However, I always looked to see if you two were ever in danger. The day you got into the fight was the day that I decided to go to the school to check on both of you to see how you two were faring. I was grateful that I was there because I was the one who arrested you and had the means to let you go." Yoongi explains then gets out of the car.

"Why have you not told him who you are?" Yuri asks as he gets out of the car.

"I don't want to remind him of the pain he is trying to heal from," Yoongi mutters and grabs the bags that are filled with what Jimin bought while they were on their date.

"I think that Hyung would be grateful to know who you are," Yuri responds and grabs the two suitcases he packed for himself and Jimin. "Also, I recognized you rather quickly, but I didn't want to tell you because I didn't know how you would feel about it or if you remembered us."

"You were the two that I could never forget." Yoongi hums in response then walks into the apartment building.

"How are you so rich?" Yuri asks as he looks around the luxurious building.
