When Truth Hurts

Chapter -16

.

" No "

As the word echoed in the room, Taehyung and Jimin exchanged nervous glances, knowing exactly what was coming.

Yoongi was the first to speak, crossing his arms ."You two really thought it was a good idea to prank him like that?" He asked, looking at Taehyung and Jimin without blinking.

"We... We didn't mean for it to go this far, hyung." Taehyung said, his voice shaky. "It was supposed to be a harmless joke..."

"But you didn't think about how it would affect him, did you?" Yoongi continued, his words laced with frustration. "You knew how sensetive Jungkook is about this types of matter but still you decided to prank him like that?"

Jimin shifted uncomfortably. "We didn't realize it would hurt him this much. It was supposed to be funny, but we messed up." He said looking down, not daring to meet anyone's eyes.

Hoseok took a deep breath before saying, "You two have been around long enough to know how sensitive Kook is. You didn't think about that when you decided to joke about his adoption.That wasn't just a prank. That was cruel."

Taemin looked down in guilty.

Namjoon stood beside Hoseok, said, "We all joke around, but you crossed a line.This isn't just about pranking him; it's about making him feel like he's not wanted, that he's a burden. Do you understand how dangerous that is for his mental health."

"I... We never wanted Kook to feel that way." Taehyung whispered, his voice cracking slightly.

"We're sorry. So sorry. We never meant to hurt him." Jimin added, his voice barely audible.

Jin step forward and said," You to come to my room, now."

Taehyung and Jimin felt scared, knowing what was about to happen.Jin was going to punish them, something he had never done before. He had scolded them in the past, but he had never gone as far as punishing them. Their hyungs had warned them that Jin's punishments were severe and something to be feared.

They both hesitated and scared but they couldn't argue. Slowly, they followed Jin down the hallway to his room, their hearts pounding in their chests. The others stayed behind, exchanging silent glances.

Jin closed the door firmly behind him, his face hard to read. Taehyung and Jimin stood there nervously.They couldn't look up. Taehyung was squeezing his hands tightly, and Jimin was biting his lip. They were both waiting for the other to say something.

Jin walked over to his desk, pulling out a chair and sitting down, his eyes never leaving them.

"Do you two understand why I'm upset?" Jin spoke calmly, but he was really angry.

Taehyung opened his mouth, but Jimin spoke first. "Yes, hyung. We know. We messed up. We really messed up." His voice was felt with regret.

Jin sighed, rubbing a hand over his face. "What you did... was hurtful, not just to Jungkook, but to all of us. You've grown up seeing how sensetive he is about family about his brothers. But you still choose to prank him like that." He sighed," You two need to learn that words have power. You can't just throw around things without thinking of the consequences.You've hurt him, and now you need to make it right."

Taehyung and Jimin looked at each other, their faces pale. The weight of Jin's words pressed heavily on their hearts. Both of them felt super guilty for their actions.

"W-we will apologize to him, hyung," Jimin said his voice trembling. "We'll do everything we can to make it right. We'll earn his forgiveness."

Taehyung nodded quickly, "Yes, hyung. We'll make it up to him, no matter what. We swear."
