The Two Brothers and Me

Chapter 7

Jungkook waited patiently for Jin outside the main door while the younger told him what he will just get his coat. His smile is very wide upon thinking that Jin finally gave him the time that he always wanted.

When Jin opened the door, he smiled wider.

"Let's go?" Jungkook asked.

Jin nodded at him and smiled. They walked around the nearby playground that Jin did not know actually existed considering that he only went outiside the house once.

"It's already late and there's not much people around." Jungkook said and Jin nodded.

"I did not even know that this place exists." Jin said with a chuckle.

"You should go out with me more so that you can see more places around." Jungkook said.

Jin ignored what he said because it felt more like a request to date instead of what Jungkook might actually mean and he hates the fact that he even thought of that right now.

"Let's sit over there." Jungkook said, pointing at the swing.

Jin nodded at him. They walked slowly towards the swing, enjoying the cold breeze of the spring air on their faces.

Jungkook helped him in stabilizing the swing while he sat, then sat on the other swing.

"Me and Tae-hyung would usually go here for a quick play. Our mom was usually sick even when we were children so Aunt Sohyun and Aunt Chanmi are the ones taking us here. They were our nannies." Jungkook said, reminiscing the past. "Years after our mom died, we got to know about Yuna and he was very kind to us. He would always tell us about you and I would usually bug her to meet you."

"But she never even tried meeting up with me." Jin said.

Jungkook looked at him. He is sure that Yuna and Jin have a lot of unresolved conversations and he is not the one to tell Jin whatever Yuna's side is.

"I think you and her are quite alike."

Jin looked at him with a frown.

"You are both very quiet and have a lot of reservations." Jungkook said, seeing the questioning look on Jin's face. "When Yuna arrived with our dad, instead of us being the reserved one, she had been more reserved than us. She usually cooks on her own and would not try to talk to us but would usually cry in the garden with our dad as they talked about you. I don't know who you are that time, but when she opened up to me while she took me from school, after I got into a fight, she told me about you. That's the first time I ever heard her talking voice."

Jin was surprised that she even cried for him but he actually do not care anymore. She left him and that's all she knows right now.

Still, Jin got his curiosity out and he feels like Jungkook can actually answer him.

"Why aren't you calling her mom? She's your step-mother." He asked.

Jungkook looked at him as if a horn grew on his head.

"Oh. Y-you did not know." Jungkook said, instead of asking, realizing that Yuna was not able to talk to his son yet about it.

"W-what d-do I not know?" Jin asked.

"I don't think I am in the best place to say this but..." Jungkook bit his lip, contemplating if he should say it or not.

"What is it?"

"Dad and Yuna were never married." Jungkook said.

"T-they were not what?" Jin asked.
