You Never Walk Alone [1st Draft Ver.]

Chapter 75 : Double-Cross

Soon enough, dinner time rolled around and everyone started to leave.

Su-hye's older sister had come to pick up Su-hye, Ga-eun and Kyung-mi, while one of Byung-hoon's dad's came to take him and Hwan home.

And just like that, only the Jungs and Baeks remained in Da-hee's mansion.

The Jungs were also about to leave, half of them standing at the doorway already, waiting for their remaining brothers (Kyung-se) to come.

When Kyung-se finally walked up to the doorway, Ki-ho playfully flicked his forehead before turning around.

The Baeks waved goodbye to the Jungs before going back inside to their house and then straight to their room.

And then letting their masks drop.

Because, in front of their friends, they'd pretended to be happy, back to normal, indifferent to whatever they'd seen on their mother's instagram page.

But now? When they were alone? When no one would get worried or concerned? They didn't have to pretend to be indifferent anymore.

Immediately after the door closed, they went to different places in their room, some sitting at the desks, some going to their bed.

Some were angry, some were sad, some were in disbelief.

The silence in the room was broken by Jungkook, who threw his pillow across the room from his loft bed, sitting up.

"Why?" He questioned, "Why are they living like... they did nothing? Like they... didn't ruin our lives?"

"Because they believe they... didn't." Yoongi responded, his fists clenched tightly.

"But what they believe... isn't the truth!" Taehyung shouted, joining in from his bunk bed, "Do they not... feel bad, or at least a... bit remorseful? Do they really... think they can raise another... child after what they did?!"

"They're monsters, Tae." Jin told him, "Narcissistic psychopaths who think... they can do anything and that... the world revolves around them."

"It might." Jimin spoke from his place on the bottom bunk where he was curled up, knees pulled up, "They got away with crimes... they're still living a happy life... the world must love them."

"That's just because... they have money." Taehyung scoffed, "That's all they have... money. They have... nothing else to call themselves... human."

"Yup. No humanity." Namjoon agreed with a nod.

"The question is still there... though. Why do they get to... get off scot free while we suffer?" Jungkook questioned, "And what about their new... son? Will they torture him... too?"

"That's just how the... world works, Jungkook-ah." Yoongi sighed, "The rich and powerful... get to live happily even after... ruining lives."

"That's wrong. Why is... it like that? Why can't it... change?" Jimin asked, a look of clear frustration on his face, eyebrows furrowed.

"It can't because... the world is run by the... rich and powerful. Why would... they change the rules so... that the powerless could... thrive?" Namjoon replied.

"Yeah. There aren't people with... caring hearts like you... in power, Jimin-ah." Jin added, going up to the boy and carding through his hair.

"It should be." Taehyung said, "It'd be a much... better place to live in."

"No it wouldn't," Jimin let out a small chuckle, "Too good people can't get... too far in their lives."

"That's true," Yoongi acknowledged, "But it'd still be better."
