Jungkook had started acting weird, and I didn't know what to think of it. I sometimes caught him staring at me, but he didn't say anything. Actually, I don't recall him saying anything to me this week. It made me worried that something was wrong.

I knew I was being a hypocrite, because I wasn't telling him the truth either. However I still wanted to know what was going on. I decided to man up and ask him.

All this time I was worried about him, not about myself, even when I know I should. Baekhyun had scolded me many times to tell Jungkook, I guess I'd finally listen.

"Jungkook can we talk?" His head snapped to me, eyes narrowed, and he nodded slowly. I turned off the evening news on tv that had lost our attention and went to sit in front of him.

"What's going on?" I straight up asked him. He didn't answer for a bit, before suddenly his expression changed.

"Like you don't know" he scoffed. I frowned as I thought about what could have made him mad. Did he find out that I'm sick?

"I-I'm sorry I was g-going to tell you but, I-I just couldn't-" I stuttered out.

"Oh really? You couldn't tell me this all those years!" He rose from his seat and looked at me accusingly. He suddenly threw a folder onto the coffee table.

"I found the papers Taehyung! Even though you hid them pretty well. Why didn't you just tell me?" His voice grew sadder. "Don't you trust me?"

I shot him a dubious look and went to open the file. All the breath left my lungs as I looked at the content.

"W-what-?" I breathed out. My hand was clamped over my my to keep the shaky breaths in.

"I-I don't get it, I was there when you were born!" I stood in front of him, trying to look into his eyes, while he was avoiding that exact same thing.

"Jungkook please, t-they can't be true, they jut can't!" I tried.

"Are you going to lie to me now?" My breath hitched at his accusation. "Are you going to fake it even more? You knew Taehyung!"

"J-jungkook I-I swear I didn't k-know" I looked at his furious face.

"Dont lie to me!" His voice cracked, I saw his eyes water and stood up to reach out to him. As ai outstretched my hand, he flinched away.

"Jungkook I promise! I-I didn't know!" My bottom lip trembled as I stuttered. He just looked at me disbelievingly before scoffing.

"Get out"

"Jungkook please-"

"I said get out!" He yelled in my face, his hands hit my chest to push me away, nearly sending me to the ground.

"I hate you!" I heard him yell as he chased me out the door, I didn't have enough time to grab any shoes or a coat before the door was slammed shut.

"Jungkook! Let me in!" I rung our doorbell and hit the door with my fist, the cold evening breeze made me shiver already. It was one of those colder summer days. I wrapped my arms around myself in an attempt to keep myself warm, with little success. By now I was glad that the beanie was keeping my head and ears warm.

After minutes of hitting the door I decided to give up and just walk. I started to get more tired and dizzy as I grew colder, my bare feet hitting the pavement with a small slap while I walked down the street.

A familiar house came into my sight and I slightly sped up, nearly running to the front door. My breath hitched when I reached the front door. I rang the doorbell and stood back slightly to see if there was any movement though the windows. A light flickered on in one of the bedrooms and not even a minute later the door was opened.

"Tae? What are you doing here?" A sleepy Jin asked me.

"C-can I c-come i-in" my teeth were chattering and my body was shivering with coldness.

"Y-yes of course, come in" Jin quickly stepped aside to let me in and shut the door behind me. "Let's get you into something warm first, then we'll talk"

I nodded slowly, exhausted but relieved I was in a safe place. I followed Jin upstairs to the bathroom, stumbling a few times but not quite falling. He got me a large sweater and thick wool socks to pull on, although he had to help me with that. He let me sit in his bed and covered me with a fleece blanket.

"So what happened?" He inquired. I bit my lip in doubt to tell him. "Please Taehyung, you can trust me, we used to be best friends"

My mind momentarily flashed back to a few years ago. I remember Jungkook and I running over the train tracks, going to meet the others, who were waiting at the docks. I ran after Jungkook and gleefully smiled when they came into our sight. I hooked my arms around Jin's and Jimin's necks, smiling to them and greeting them and the others.

I shook my thoughts away, as I've been doing many times lately. I looked Jin in the eyes, which were practically begging for me to tell him. I took a deep breath and started.

"J-jungkook was acting w-weird so I got him to talk to me. He found some papers. I-I-" I still couldn't quite believe it myself. "I'm adopted"
