FLASHBACK

JK pov

"She's not his girlfriend. She's his sister. You know nothing, Kim Namjoon!" Now, it was his turn to get too stunned to speak.
"Surprised much?!" I raised an eyebrow, challenging him at his own game.
"That doesn't change anything." Namjoon exclaimed, after overcoming the first shock.
"Doesn't change the fact that, you still took advantage of her infatuation for you." He kept insisting, trying to prove his point.
"Whatever happened, it doesn't concern you in any way. I don't owe you an explanation." I said, trying to keep calm.
"But you do owe her." He pointed at me, with just his head movement.
"That, is between us." I took Y/n's hand in mine and she held it tight, intertwining our fingers. I saw Namjoon massaging his temple, staring at the gesture.
"So, it's US now, huh?! I can't believe this." He wasn't talking to me, anymore. His words were directed at Y/n, as if I didn't exist.
"And you said you'll be waiting for me to get back." He scoffed at her.
"You failed to mention, you would be waiting with him." He laughed a sad laugh, lowering his head in order to make eye contact with her.
"I didn't plan on it, okay?! I would have never wanted to hurt you. I have never felt worse upon doing something." He tried to pat her head but she pushed his hand.
"And yet, you still went with it. Knowingly!" She squeezed my hand.
"I'm leaving. I can't stay here. If I see anymore of this." He gestured at the two of us. "I think I'm gonna puke." He made a disgusted expression.
"No, you stay. It's your home, after all." I said, looking at Y/n. I didn't want to force her to join me but I was hoping she would.
"He's right. You should stay. It's us who should leave." I breathed a sigh of relief, hearing Y/n would come with me. We headed upstairs to pack our bags and as I was about to open the door, I heard Taehyung open his. They were all gathered in his room. Nobody dared to talk first. Taehyung, finally, addressed the elephant in the room.
"So... you're both leaving." It was a statement, rather than a question.
"It wouldn't make sense staying here, any longer. You get that, right?!" He just nodded. Jimin looked at me, with a sad smile on his face. And Jin, he just raised his palm, waving me goodbye. I saw Y/n get out of her room, with a bag in her hands. Taehyung saw her but didn't make any attempt to talk or, comfort her. Jin and Jimin got out of the room and hugged her goodbye. Then, all of a sudden, when she had reached the top of the stairs, she dropped the bag on the floor and ran back to just crush Taehyung from behind, enveloping him in a tight hug.
Since we all came together in one car, Jin gave us the keys to the spare car they had in the garage. We drove in silence for quite a bit. I realized, Y/n wanted to ask me something because she had made many attempts to talk first but, for some reason, she didn't.
"Baby, just say it, okay?!" I took her hand in mine, trying to reassure her.
"You can ask me anything. I hope you know that, right?!" I said, kissing the back of her hand.

Y/n pov

"How did you earn your... nickname?!" He shook his head. Probably, seeing it coming.
"It all started as a game. We were a group of bored chaebol heirs with lots of money in our hands, in a city that offered everything and more. One night, one of the guys, told us about this exclusive club where the rich ladies of N.Y went to please their... particular sexual fantasies which, involved younger men. I won't lie, it immediately spurred my curiosity. This friend of mine, told us that he knew someone who worked there and he could get us in but, we needed some fake I.D's, just in case someone decided to raid the place and found out we were minors. It was for their sake, not for ours." I caught him staring into the void in front of him, as if recalling a scene from a movie.
"That someone he knew was...this Min Yoongi, I guess." My words brought him back to reality cause he soon, nodded.
"Yeah, you guessed right. That's how I came to know him." He turned around to look at me.
"Yoongi was a couple of years older than us. He was another bored chaebol heir with zero will to study and lots of time in his hands. His father, not only had exiled him from Seoul for hanging out with some unsavory people, he had also cut his allowance, hoping it would refrain him from going back to his old ways there, too. He had a sister, around my age. Their parents, had decided she, too, should join him in N.Y so, she could keep an eye on him. I found out, we went to the same college, when one day, I saw Yoongi accompany her. Yoongi was very protective of her. She was beautiful but her mind was very fragile, as I came to know later on." He furrowed his brows.
"What happened after you joined the club?" I asked, hoping he could confide in me.
"It's better if you don't know the details, sweetheart. It won't do you any good. And, I honestly don't want to talk about that period of my life." He tried to change the argument.
"You said, I could ask you anything. From what I gathered, by Taehyung's allegations, you must have told him about it." My curiosity had been challenged, first by Taehyung and now, by him. There was no point in keeping it from me, now that he was starting to open up.
"Has he told you anything?" I shook my head.
"He told me to ask you, personally." He didn't react to my words. I think he was deciding where to start.
"I got a faint idea what was going on at the club. I'm not that naive." I sighed.
"Never thought you were. It's not that." He squeezed my hand, eyes on the road.
"What is it then? Are you ashamed about what went on during that time?!" Whatever he said, I would never judge him.
"Well, it's not something to be proud of but I can't change what happened back then, either." He untangled our hands so he could scratch his neck. I didn't want to force him so I talked first.
"Tell me whenever you're ready, okay. I could never judge you. I love you!"

p.s you won't expect what will happen in the next one
