Jennie's pov

"Minho! I want you in my house right now" I said as
soon as he picked up

"What happened? Are you okay?" He asked in a
sleepy voice

"Just come here" I said in a hard voice before
hanging up the call

Fifteen minutes later my door is being slammed open
before he enters frantically

"Jennie. What happened?" he started before freezing
when he saw me.

My makeup is probably running down my face,
mascara and eyeliner are probably smeared and
my eyes are probably bloodshot.

"Did he do something?" He asked in a concerned
voice.

"He did. But you did too" I said causing him to look at
me confused

Smoothening the scrunched up the photo that I
stole from Taehyung, the only photo with my biological family on it and another man who looks like Taehyung, probably his father, I show ir to him."What is this Bam?" I asked. My voice came out dry
My question is met with silence.

He looks anxious, his eyes did not meet mine and
instead focused on his shoes.

"Jennie we were just protecting you" he said. His
expression displayed how miserable he felt

"From what? What can be so dangerous that you lied for so long?" I whispered barely able to control my tears.

He didn't say anything but just stood there silently
staring at me

"Please Minho, just tell me"

"Your memories" he finally mumbled too quietly
that I barely heard him, his eyes watery and his
expression dishevelled

"What do you mean?" I asked

"You don't want to know Jennie. Trust me" he said
shaking his head.

"Please. For once tell me the truth" I yelled
desperately.Taking a long breath he said

"Your memory loss is a blessing in disguise Jennie.
You weren't in an accident you were abused“ he
breathed out

"What?" My heart broke.

"It's true. You were abused physically but mental
abuse can be much more lethal. It can kill a person
from the inside and you didn't remember it and We
wanted you happy so we lied. We protected you from your memories"

Tears escaped my eyes. It seems that I had a lot of
tears tonight and I know he is still holding some truth
back and I don't even want to know it.

I saw the scars, that I thought were from an accident everyday, and I am astonished I survived them.

"Did you knew about Taehyung or my biological family?" I asked not wanting to think about what Minho just revealed when my head started hurting too much

"I just came to know a few weeks ago after the day
he met you again, we both agreed that it's best if you don't know and" he sighed before continuing"In my fucked up mind, I thought you may not need
me or love me after you came to know your real
family so it was also one of the reasons" he admitted

I hugged him because he need my comfort and
assurance right now and I need him too. I understand they did it to protect me and because they love me however much it hurt me. I know they did what they thought was right

"You are my big brother Minho and I love you and
our parents too. I will always need you because you,
mum and dad were there when no one else was even though you had no obligation to love me. never doubt that"

I sat there as Jisoo side hugged me, Kuma sitting
in my lap licking my hand and snuggling against my
chest while Rosé sat opposite me doing something on her phone.

I woke up feeling like shit and took the day off from work, still not ready to see him. I probably look like a zombie right now with the whole night of crying I spent and not a single second of sleep. Minho sent Jisoo here probably sensing my mood who brought along Rosé.

Jisoo brought me a tub of ice cream to make me feel better and is right now rubbing my back."It's okay Jennie. everything will be alright. They were just trying to protect you" Jisoo whispered sweetly. I know she is right but I just feel betrayed and I still don't know how to feel about the mafia thing. Jisoo and Rosé don't know about it and the abuse, they just know that I knew him from childhood and how they lied.

"Stop being a crybaby. You are probably just a conquest for him. He probably do this to everyone" Rosé said in a prissy voice

I know he hurt me but I also know he isn't like that. I
know his feeling are real. Anyone can see the love
and tenderness in his eyes even in the photos of our
childhood.

"He isn't like that. I know I mean something to him" I
said defending him against my best friend

"Stop being naive Jennie. You are being played" she yelled at me. Just when I am about to ask her what her deal is and why is she being a bitch Jisoo did.

"Stop being jealous Rosé. Just because he rejected
you doesn't mean you have to take it out on her" and
my eyes widen. She hit on him even after knowing
how much I liked him

“Fuck off" she said directing it at both of us before
stomping out of my house"She really hit on him?" I asked her

"She had always been jealous of you. I just didn't
say anything because she was my sister but you
are like my sister too. I heard her yelling to herself
yesterday" he said shrugging his shoulders.

The betrayal from tomorrow was still fresh when
another was blown to me. I wonder what else I can't
see? Am I too naive to not notice everything going
around me? I would have cried but I had no tears left after last night.

"Don't worry about her. She is not worth it" he said
hugging me again and Kuma licked my palm making
me smile at him.
