Chapter 85

The video ended, but the silence that followed felt louder than any sound. Jungkook could hear his own heartbeat pounding in his ears. His hands were shaking, his fingers numb as if they did not belong to him anymore. The living room felt too big and too small at the same time, the air thick and heavy, his chest heavy and every breath he took was hurting,

Jae Hyung stood in front of him, jaw clenched, fists tight at his sides. His eyes were burning with anger, the kind that scared Jungkook more than shouting ever could.

"Just tell me, is he still bothering you? I will kill him! I will break all his bones for doing this to you. I will report him to the police. Do you have his contact information?" Jae Hyung's tone softened as he looked at his brother, who looked like a deer in headlights.

"No, no, he doesn't bother me anymore so you don't need to do that anymore." Jungkook said in a low whisper that his brother heard. By now, their father and Jin Hyung had also seen the video and were standing behind Jae Hyung with suspicious stares.

Jungkook was very close to a panic attack now. It was hard for him to breathe. He felt so suffocated in his living room, which was in fact a very spacious area. His father's intense stare, along with Jae Hyung's words, made the air so thick with tension that he found it hard to stand without support. he leaned against the wall to keep himself steady.

Their stares were sharp, filled with suspicion and something colder—disappointment. It felt like they already knew; they knew something that he didn't. And that scared jungkook like hell.

"Even if he doesn't bother you, I am still going to beat him to an inch of his life for bothering you. Who does that asshole think he is to bother my brother? Just give me his name! " Jae Hyung raised his voice again as anger took over his features. Jin Hyung joined him and looked at Jungkook for answers.

This time it was Jin Hyung who stepped forward, his expression dark. "We'll handle him," he said coldly. "Just tell us who he is."

"We will beat up that jerk. Jungkook, just tell us his name. We will destroy that douchebag." Jin Hyung added while spreading a menacing aura.

The image of Taehyung getting beaten by his brothers was too scary to imagine. He loved his brothers and he loved Taehyung as well. He couldn't bear to see that.

"I d-don't know h-his na-name." Jungkook stuttered while looking away and clutching to his phone tightly, like his life depended on it.

An expression Jae and Jin noticed immediately.

he was being hesitant. He definitely knew who he was. Why was he lying? Jin Hyung and Jae Hyung thought as they looked at each other and back again at their brother, knowing what to do next.

That hesitation did not go unnoticed.

Memories flashed of Jungkook's middle school.

Jae and Jin exchanged a glance. They both saw it. The fear. The lie.
