Jeon Jung Kook POV

I sat down on my seat, eating my food silently while my parents continued scolding me.

"Why did you run away?!"

"Do you know what this could do to Junghyun's career?! Do you even know how to think?!"

"How could you be so heartless and selfish?!"

I shot a glare at them. Heartless? Selfish? I endured all those bullying just so Junghyun could live happily and yet they call me heartless and selfish.

I placed the plate down on the table, stood up and walked away.

"Where are you going now?"

"Away from you!"

"Great! Now you wanna run away like your brother too!," my father said sarcastically.

I ignored them.

I laid down on my bed as I stared up at the white ceiling blankly.

Blank? That reminded me of Taehyung's face. I was almost gonna smile, when I stopped myself.

BTS? I wonder what they're doing right now. Wait! Stop thinking about those bullies! They're no good. You were always nice to them, but they....

DING~ DONG~

The bell of the front door rang. I could hear my mother's footsteps, going to open the door.

For a while I could hear murmurings and talks. I heard my mother laugh and some other voices. I listened carefully. I was all ears now.

Could it be - !

"Jungk - Junghyun, your friends are here!," my mother called out in a loud shout.

I jerked up straight. Throwing the pillow away from me, I got out of my bed and ran downstairs. Friends? Please don't let it be -

When I walked inside the living room, I frowned. " - BTS?," I groaned.

BTS smiled at me happily. I ignored them. "Why are you here? Go away!," I muttered.

"Junghyun, be nice to them! They came here just to see you!," my mother said excitedly.

My father stood up and walked over to me. He pulled me into a hug; and whispered into my ear a firm order - "Fix it and go back as Junghyun!"

A shot of pain went through me. Can't they see that I don't want to live as Junghyun?

My father let me go. He smiled back at BTS and said, "I'll be back," and he left the room.
My mother stood up; and with a smile said, "Junghyun, talk to them. I'll go bring tasty snacks!" And with that she left as well. It was just me and BTS now.

I walked over and sat down on the couch across from them; their gaze never leaving me.

"What do you want?," I asked quickly as I looked away from them.

"You can quit the cool act with us - ," Yoongi spoke up with a yawn.

I turned to him with a confused look.

"We know Junghyun ran away and that you're just acting as his substitute until he comes back. Isn't that right, Jungkook?," Seokjin said with a smile.

I stared at BTS with wide eyes. My name sounds weird from their mouths. But they found out. How?

BTS POV

"Don't look so shock, Jungkook. The CEO told us everything about this stuffs...," Namjoon said.

"I...I...," Jungkook stuttered as he stared at them in shock; probably wondering why the CEO told them.

"Jungkook, don't be mad at us. We thought you were your arrogant twin brother...," Jimin spoke softly as he stood up and walked over to Jungkook.

Jungkook shifted uncomfortably in his seat. "Stay away from me!," he shouted out.

Jimin stopped midway. Hoseok pulled him back down onto his seat.

Jungkook was still scared. They could see it in his eyes - how much he hated them.

"Jungkook...," Taehyung called in his deep voice. "We're really sorry!"

"If it was Junghyun here instead of me, would you still be apologizing?," Jungkook asked seriously.

BTS remained silent. They really hated Jungkook's twin brother, but -

"Yeah. We would be apologizing to him...for your sake," Hoseok said seriously.

"...if he apologizes to us first!," Jimin added.

Jungkook let out a small chuckle. "My brother can be a bit arrogant - "

"A bit?," BTS groaned with an eyebrow.

"Okay. A lot arrogant, but he's really good. Once you know him well, you'll understand him well!," Jungkook said with a smile.

BTS just smiled. They were ignoring what Jungkook was saying about his brother, since they were busy watching Jungkook smile.

"Jungkook, we came here to take you back," Namjoon spoke up seriously.

Jungkook's smile disappeared. "But I...don't...want to...live as Junghyun..."

"Who said you were gonna live as Junghyun...," Jimin spoke up with a smirk.

"Huh?," Jungkook asked with a confused look.

"For the world, you'll be Junghyun. But for us, you'll be Jungkook!," Taehyung said smiling.

Jungkook let out a small laugh.

"What the - You can be so cheesy at times!," Yoongi said as he nudged Taehyung's elbow.

"Once again - ," Seokjin said smiling. " - Welcome to BTS, Jungkook!"

Jungkook just smiled. He was sure now that this wasn't a trick at all.

Jeon Jung Hyun POV

*Somewhere in America*

I plopped down onto the couch as I surfed through the Internet in my phone.

I had ran away to America to live with my uncle who loved me like his own son. I told him not to tell my parents, and he obliged.
My dream was to be a Motocross racer; but I failed badly at it and I even broke some bones.
I lived my dream as a tattooist but I was caught by the police for not having a tattoo-artist license.

Because of this, the police know my face very well.

But still, my uncle didn't said a thing.

"I wonder what's happening with BTS, now that their member ran away...," I said laughing hard.

Then I checked out BTS's website.

What I saw next made me choke on my own saliva. This boy isn't me at all. Could it be - ?

"Jungkook?," I muttered in shock.

I frowned. Mom and Dad really - they forced Jungkook into disguising as me. Gosh!
Jungkook must be feeling so pressured right now and it's all because of me.

I'm really sorry, Jungkook.

"Uncle?! Uncle?!"

"What is it, Junghyun?!"

"Book one ticket for the next flight to Seoul."

"Sure! But why so suddenly?"

I just smiled at myself.

Don't worry. Your brother is coming back.
