Brothers? BTS

PART II: 1

PART II: THE UNTOLD LIES

Family. A word. A truth. A lie. A way of love. A way of hate. A way of hostility. A way of hurt. A symbol of loyalty. A symbol of betrayal. A symbol of trust. A symbol of mistrust. A world. A part. A cause of comfort. A cause of pain. 

Family can be anything. Only the luckiest of us get to enjoy it in its true glory. Only the luckiest of us get to experience its warmth and love. Only the luckiest of us...

Present

How powerful is the ocean? The waves are so strong that they break down rocks into sand. My eyes shifted to the waves rising like a blaze of fire and collapsing like the sands of a desert. They softly embraced my feet, so smooth, so warm, like the sun kissing you, and like the comfort of a mother. The night sky perfectly showed the madness of the dark sea's horizon. The stars were the only ones that could make me differentiate between the sky and the sea. Though this would scare others, how deep and mysterious the sea seemed at night, it gave me a sense of peace. It showed me that everything had a dark side.

The strong waves slowed down and embraced me, or well just my feet.

I remember how just five years ago I was introduced into this family. I become one of them. It's been five years and I still feel like a little sister to them and they are the same overprotective and annoying brothers of mine. Two years ago Jin married Sejeong, it was a beautiful grand wedding. Both were lovers of fancy and elegant things which their wedding reflected perfectly. It was a country and almost worldwide news. Jin seemed to have not aged at all, honestly, he seemed even younger to me. Sejeong was the best person I could wish for as a sister-in-law. She was like a second mother, we became best friends with Gaeun and Sohee. Yoongi and Soohee's relationship got more powerful after their fight. Sohee was my favourite when it came to travelling. We both went on a couple of solo trips on our bikes, just the two of us since we liked our vibe so much and maybe because the others were busy. 

Namjoon and Gaeun don't show much but we all know how deep their connection has accelerated in the last few years. They were inseparable after the incident with Jiho. Gaeun moved into our house and there was nothing more I wished for. Gaeun and I grew inseparable too. Namjoon and Rowoon were completely fed up with us when we ditched them to go on dates. It was hilarious. Jungkook has joined the music industry with the help of Yoongi. Though initially, he became popular with the titles of Suga's brother and a sibling of the KIMS, his talent was soon recognized and he outgrew these labels. I was secretly very proud of him. Taehyung was selected to a drama at Jin's request. He played a second lead role first but then his sudden rise of popularity due to his euphoric and charismatic personality got him in top dramas which got a lot of attention. 

Hoseok and Jimin were lying low like me. Namjoon took over the KIMS company and we worked under him. I liked corporate life even though it made me seem boring. I didn't care, Rowoon loved me, and that was enough. Jimin still took on his modelling even appearing on Vogue and a couple of runways. I noticed how Hoseok took a liking to the fashion industry. He created his brand called 'Hope' which was running wild like a forest fire. Its very own Instagram page was burning with followers and orders.

It makes me smile to know that there was never a day that went by without their words of warmth. They love me a lot and they express it often in ways that make me feel adored. Jin cares for me like a mother, when he is free, he packs me lunches and goes on a couple of picnic dates with me while taking pictures together so we can tease the others later. He also always warned me about the fashion and acting industry and how they pry more on specifically women. He made sure never to let me get involved and so did Tae. Tae was always with me when I visited them, he would make sure I was fed and hydrated every single time and sometimes even delay his shoots so we could spend some together. We both would often go golfing with Dad. Dad, Tae and I were professionals when it came to golfing, a game that brought us closer day by day. Dad spoils me rotten with all the gifts he showers me with. My brothers sometimes get jealous of the attention I get but Dad makes sure they are reminded that they are also loved like me or sometimes even more than me. Mom and I are more than mother and daughter now, it's like she was my best friend in my past life. We hung out in random stores, bought each other clothes, and drank our lives out until one of my brothers came to pick us up drunk. It makes me giggle to see their annoyed yet caring faces.
