Jeon Jung Kook POV

"Kookie, I'm leaving...," Junghyun tells me.

I smile as I nod. We're back in Busan; and my brother is leaving for Seoul; for Big Hit Entertainment to sign the contract.
I am really happy for him.

But Junghyun doesn't looks happy.

"Stop worrying, bro! You'll be fine!," I assure him as I put my arm around his shoulder.

My father blows the horn. He looks impatient as he calls out for Junghyun from the car.

Junghyun shrugs my hand off of him and walks away from the front door with his suitcase.

I watch him leave as I shout excitedly, "Best of luck, Junghyun! Do well!"

As my brother gets to the car, he finally turns to me. I become silent; my smile disappears.
My brother doesn't wants this, neither do I; but...our parents... I really want to fulfil my parents wishes.

Junghyun gets in the car. I wave goodbye with a fake smile as the car drives away.

Jeon Jung Hyun POV

12 am.

I collapse down onto the wooden floor, panting hard as I try to catch my breath.
I've been practicing my dance skills ever since I came here to Big Hit.

The contract will be signed the day after tomorrow since the CEO isn't here today.
What a stupid CEO...

I let out a deep breath.

I rise up from the floor with staggering legs which has started aching now.

"You're not going to be our member so fast, so stop hurting yourself, kid!," a voice says in a mocking tone.

I turn to the window and see six tall, charming boys looking at me with a big smirk stuck on their faces.

I roll my eyes at them. I hate people who mock others, and I really hate using honorifics.

"How dare you disrespect us, you little punk!," one of them shouted angrily.

Did I mention that I also get angry fast?

I took off my left shoe and threw it at them as I shout, "Get lost!" The boys immediately dodge it. And then, they shoot a murderous glare at me.

"You are really - ," one of them mutters.

"Even if you become a member of BTS, we'll never accept you!," another one informs.

I turn to them with a mocking smirk. "I'd rather be a member of EXO or SHINee, after all they're more famous than BTS!," I mutter with a smile.

The boys frown and groan at my remark. They're obviously trying to calm down their nerves. Without any other word, they walk away from there.

Immediately I fall on my knees.

My teaser video for BTS has already been released - I've attended the photoshoots assigned for me - The contract; I'll have to sign it the day after tomorrow - And then...

And then I'll be a slave for Big Hit.

This isn't what I want!

No!

I let out heavy breath of burden.

I'm sorry, Omma, Appa.

I'm sorry, Jungkook.

Jeon Jung Kook POV

It was late afternoon when I returned back to my house after my private vocal lessons.
As soon as I walked in, I heard my mother crying and my father assuring her.

In an impulse, I ran over to the living room from where the noises were coming.

"Omma, what's wrong?!," I shout worriedly as I rush inside the living room.

"My son!," my mother sobs as she looks up at me; my father sitting beside her with his arm around her.

"Junghyun, is that you?!," a husky voice asks.

I turn to see the CEO of Big Hit Entertainment staring up at me with surprised eyes.
Next to him stands Mr. Lee, the Manager of BTS.

I just stare at them, speechless. What are they doing here? Why have they come here?

And then I realize - Did something happen to my brother? I don't see him here.

"Where's Junghyun?," I ask worriedly.

My mother cries even more when she hears his name getting mentioned.

"Jungkook...," my father speaks, "Junghyun...Junghyun ran away."

I blink in shock as I take a step back. I hit a table as I walk back and I end up using it for support.

Why did Junghyun run away? He was doing so well. Why?

"Did - Did he call?," I stutter.

The rest shake their head as a no.

"What - What about the contract? BTS? His career?," I ask as I turn to look at the CEO.

The CEO looks at me with great curiosity. Then he stands up and says, "Jungkook, just...help us!"

How am I gonna help you?

"Just be Junghyun!," the CEO says again, "You guys are twins. No one will know you're Junghyun, so please help us! Save us!"

My eyes widen in shock. "I - I can't!," I shout out.

"Try to understand. If Junghyun doesn't appears in front of the public the day after tomorrow, then all is wasted! Gone!," Mr. Lee informs.

My mother gasps in shock when she hears that. My father remains still; thinking deeply.

"Do you want your brother's career to end before it has even started?!," the CEO asks me seriously.

I become speechless.

I turn to my parents; for their opinions. And they nod their heads as a yes.
I know what they're saying - Jungkook, just do it!

I bit my lip hard.

Well, what about my career?

Junghyun ran away because he didn't wanted this. I shouldn't be doing this either; but my parents...their honor...matters the most to me.

And I know once Junghyun finds out about what I'm doing for him, he'll immediately come back. He'll have a serious talk with our parents; and this time I won't back down to tell them what I truly desire too.

"Fine!," I speak up.

All gaze locks on me.

"I'll be Junghyun!," I say confidently.
