I just hope we'll have a better relationship.

A few weeks later...

POV. Jimin

It had been over a month now, since I got overwhelmed by my emotions, when I had the argument with my hyungs, and the last two weeks I felt happy, yes, genuinely happy. It was a feeling I never thought I would experience again after my mother died, and yet here I am walking through a mall with my friends, not afraid to show my emotions because they are no longer overwhelmed by negative ones but by happiness, an emotion that you can actually show in public.

My hyungs gave me more freedom; since I've had my emotional outburst, they understood that even though they want to protect me, they can't keep me locked away, so today I am in a mall with Jisoo, Rose, Lisa and Jenny. The only thing my hyungs wouldn't let me argue about was that Taemin should accompany me, but that was something I could live with because I had actually become friends with him over the last month; he was totally different from Yeongsoo, he was caring, always stayed by my side, and I was even allowed to call him hyung.

The mall went to was less luxurious than the last one I was in with Taehyung and Jin, which made me feel more comfortable and less out of place.

"Jimin, you should try this one!" Lisa squeaked as she ran towards me with an outfit she had put together. "No, thank you, Lisa." She frowned when I declined. "Why not? Do you not like this outfit?" "No, of course I like it! You have an awesome taste when it comes to clothes, but I am only here because you wanted to go here. I was clothes shopping just a bit ago. And even if I wanted something, I don't have enough money with me." 

"Aish, Jimin... You and your humble attitude! You've got rich brothers now; you should, as a newly rich person, spend money left and right, and yet here you are not buying yourself anything!" Lisa hissed, faking annoyance. 

"Actually..." Taemin spoke up from behind me. "Mr. Kim has given me this card, in case you want to buy yourself anything other than just food." I watched with curious big eyes as he fished a black card out of his pockets and handed it to me. I inspected the card; I haven't seen a card like this before. 

"Jimin, you've got a black card?" Jisoo awed. "It only makes sense that his brothers have got a black card; they are rich, after all." "Guys, please, can you quiet down? Everyone's looking..." I hushed them, and they stayed quiet for a few seconds before bursting into laughter because of my shy demeanor, but they still apologized even though it was while laughing.

"Seems like you can try my outfit on." Lisa finally said. "How much money is on this card?" I asked oblivious; I didn't know how it worked; I mean, till a minute ago I didn't even know what it was. "Let's say you could probably buy this whole shop, and your card would still have probably enough money on it to buy yourself a house!" Rose quietly explained, and my eyes widened in horror as I looked at the black card in my hand. 

"You've got to be kidding me..." I quickly put the card in my pocket to hide it from the gazes of curious strangers. "Those hyungs... I've told them that I don't want to carry a lot of money around; what if I lose it or someone would steal it?" "Jiminie I believe they wouldn't care about the money; their first priority is your safety and happiness." Taemin explained, and I looked at him, unimpressed by what he just said. "I know that they care for me, but that is a tone of money! It's too much responsibility; even if they wouldn't care, I certainly would!" I whisper yelled.
