"Hyung... did mom and dad really left us?" The nine years old boy sobbed, hiding his face in the crock of Jungkook's neck - not wanting to witness his dead parents infront of him as he clutched onto the shirt of his older brother who had him in his...

Jimin has always been an expert whenever it comes to figuring out his feelings.
He'd known that there will be a time where it will show him the way throughout a tough time. He has always trusted time in every situation, but this situation seemed difficult for him to go through alone.
He can't even share this with his older brother because Jungkook himself is the reason why he's feeling things in the first place. He has noticed this going on ever since that mafia party night. His awkward encounters with Jungkook has became more frequent, sending him in a situation where he would not be able to figure it out by himself.
He feels his stomach churning in a way that he has never felt, not even with Taemin. Back in the highschool day, he knew that his crush was just a silly little attraction and nothing more that he came to know once he became mature.
He's not able to look at Jungkook in the eyes like he used to when he was younger. His whole body sets on fire with Jungkook's single touch, making him desire the older more.
Jimin's fingers trembled as he held the adoption paper's of him that he had sneaked in the mansion office in the early morning to get. His eyes scanned the documents that has changed his life.
Jeon family had adopted him when he was little; not that he was oblivious of the truth but he just needed something to make him realise that whatever he's doing was right.
But as he gazed at the papers, his thoughts drifted to the person who's always been by his side - Jeon Jungkook. He and Jungkook aren't blood related, they are step brother's which is confusing Jimin more about his feelings.
Their relationship had started by being step brother's, bounded to a family tie. However, Jimin's feelings has evolved and he couldn't ignore the flutter in his chest anymore whenever Jungkook was near.
Jimin's mind played all the moments of Jungkook's protectiveness, his guidance and his unwavering support and understanding. The older has raised him delicately, and now Jimin feeling some filthy things for the older was so disrespectful.
He was afraid.
What would Jungkook's reaction be when he find out about this? He would be totally disgusted. They are step brother's for god's sake. Do brothers behave like this? All snuggled up to eachother as if they were a married couple?
Jimin recalled, even if they have grown into adults, they still hug eachother and share romantic moments that might be too suspicious for two brothers.
But, still. Jimin really loved when Jungkook would smile at him, his eyes crinkling at the corner, his bunny like grin only for him. The realisation dropped on Jimin's shoulders, leaving his face flushed.
He was in love with Jungkook, romantically.
He couldn't ignore it anymore and get away with it.
That thought sent Jimin's mind spinning. He had never considered the possibility, never dared to acknowledge the emotion he has suppressed for too long. But right now, as he sat admits the shadows of their mafia world, couldn't deny the truth anymore.
