I Want the Headline

Jin covered his face with his shaking hands. He never wanted this to happen. He never wanted you anywhere near these people. You were supposed to be happy in your own little bubble far away from this sort of life. Jaehwa jipping out of his part of the rent money should have been your biggest concern. He had warned Jungkook. He told him to stay away from his sister.

And he didn't listen.

"Taehyung...He raped her?" Jin clarified.

"She doesn't know." Yoongi rushed, "She was drugged, she didn't wake up until a while after and I-I panicked. I didn't want her to know he had done it, so I told her I did."

Jin blinked, "Why did you lie to her?" Wasn't that only going to make you hate him? He was as much as a victim that you were. Why not admit it was Tae and let him become the center of your hatred?

Yoongi angrily looked to Jin. He wasn't seeing the overall picture. Yoongi wasn't just thinking of what had immediately happened when he lied to you. He was thinking of everything that could come afterwards and he was thinking of you. Sometimes, he felt like he was the only one who actually thought of you. "He didn't give her a pill after. He didn't wear anything...She could've gotten pregnant and I didn't want her to know it was his, so I lied. She..she tolerated me, I thought the thought of having my kid would be less painful than Taehyung's." He hissed, deadly stare focused on Jin. Did he get it now? Did he understand why Yoongi lied and took the blame for Taehyung's actions?

"She'd cry whenever he'd call through the door, I couldn't tell her that he had done it because I had refused to have sex with her first. Because I was fucking stupid." He confessed, "I lied and tried to get her to have sex with me after, lying that it was Namjoon's orders and that if she didn't do it he'd drug her again. I was hoping she wouldn't get pregnant at all, but if she by chance did, it would somehow be mine and not his. I thought they'd send a pill in a few hours so once would be enough..but they didn't and I panicked. I told her we had to again.. I was so scared that it was going to be his and she was going to find out one day. I fucked up and let that happen to her, I couldn't let him impregnate her too. They finally sent her a box four days later. She said there was a morning after pill inside." He breathed in relief,

"I wasn't allowed to watch her take it. He made her lock herself in the bathroom. After that one time, he didn't really tell us to do it again. I hadn't watched it happen, I covered my face and ears and she wasn't awake..It..it wasn't too hard to try to forget about it after couple days. Especially since Taehyung had never come into the room again after. Namjoon just sent those damn notes telling us to talk or kiss. I thought she'd hate me, but she was too scared of Namjoon to. So we just did whatever the notes said. That's how I knew about the pictures." He admitted, lifting up the stack and flipping through them quickly.

He'd occasionally pause on a photo and stare at it. "Her first trip to the ocean." He mumbled tossing it aside,"Right after the picture was taken you splashed water on her and she cried." He flipped through several more pictures,"Some vacation she went on during school break to the mountains." Yoongi deadpanned,"She was partnered with someone who didn't want to be with her and it ruined her whole trip, but told you she had the time of her life. She's always wanted to go back there with you." He laughed quietly, "She said she wanted to go there with me too. She thought I'd fit perfectly in the quiet of the mountains...sitting under a damn waterfall and meditating.." He endedly lightly, smiling briefly.

Yoongi shuffled through more photos, mumbling what they were until he finally stopped, "Her first date." He huffed,"That bastard tried to shove his tongue down her throat in the car and she spilled hot coffee on his lap." He revealed,"But she never told you or your older brother because she didn't want you two to prevent her from dating again. She was convinced the perfect guy for her was out there, she just had to find him."
