'Hades- God of the Underworld' you opened to that page and read all about him and his history and present. It was stated that he had 3 children with his wife , The Goddess of the underworld, Persephone.  but you only knew about Taehyung and Jungkook. It also said that he had two sons and one daughter. Maybe Jungkook can't tell you about it. You'll ask Taehyung later then.
You read all the information given about Persephone , Jungkooks mother.

"Persephone: a goddess , the daughter of Zeus and Demeter. Roman name Proserpina.
She was carried off by Hades and made queen of the underworld. Demeter, vainly seeing her , refused to let the Earth produce its fruits until her daughter was restored to her, but because Persephone had eaten some pomegranate seeds in the other world , she as obliged to spend part of every year there. Her story symbolizes  the return of spring and the life and growth of grain"

You scrolled down the page and read about the three children of Hades. Jeon Jungkook, Kim Taehyung & Melinoë. That must be his daughter! Her surname wasn't mentioned. You read one by one , first you clicked on the 'Jeon Jungkook' in bold.
Jeon Jungkook is a chthonic deity and a Demi-God invoked in one of the Orphic hymns and propitiated as a bringer of nightmares. The name also appears on a metal tablet in association with Persephone.
Now it all made sense why he was in your nightmare. He was the one who gave it to you. Everything made sense except the Orphic thing mentioned above. You decided to straight forward ask about it to Jungkook later.
  
Kim Taehyung. You read all about him too and scrolled down to read about their sister.
A goddess Melinoë ('μακαρία', literally 'blessed') is named in the Suda.This Melinoë is the daughter of Hades (no mother is mentioned). She seems to have embodied a blessed death; the Suda connects her name to the figure of speech "be gone to blessedness," instead of misery or damnation, which may be euphemistic, in the way that the dead are referred to as "the blessed ones." The phrase was proverbial for those whose courage endangered them. However, though it is mentioned she had a blessed death according to the Greek mythology some believe she's still alive because apparently after she did this prohibited action , she wasn't allowed to have any bonds with her family nor the underworld and her memories of her in the underworld were taken too.
Although she wasn't related to the underworld anymore , but the fact that she was Hades' daughter and a God couldn't be ignored. God in the underworld but a Demi-God now.

You spent all your time searching and studying more about the underworld then noticed the time. You had to be at his apartment right now for dinner. You just fixed your hair slightly and left because it was him , you could look like whatever you wanted to when he was around. You didn't care and he never judged. You got in and ate the delicious meal he had prepared then asked him about the things you've been reading earlier. "Jungkook you never mentioned about your sister?I read about Greek mythology a little and it was stated that your father , Hades had two sons and a daughter." You ask him and he looks down, expression turning dull. "She's dead" he answers coldly with a bit of sadness in his tone. "From what I know , some believe she's still alive" "I don't know much about her since all of this happened when I was little and it is prohibited to talk about it there. I do wish she was alive, I never really spent a lot of time with her" he says with a low voice. "It's okay , I hope she's alive and well and that you people get to meet someday" you calm him grabbing his hand, he avoids it at first but you reach out for it again and look at his face but he turns it away. "What's wrong Jungkook? If there's anything bothering you you should know I'm always here for you" he stares deep in your eyes as you spoke. He listens carefully then sighs "Y/n can't we just end this"

"End what?" "Our awkward friendship. And  turn it into something we both want" his voice was very low but clear. "We could" you reply mocking his tone "but-" just as you were about to speak about how Taehyung had warned you not to he interrupted "no buts , I know the consequences and I know we can face them together y/n you're all I need right now" he says boldly. "Then take me" you say and the next moment your cheeks show a tint of pink , you regretted what you just said and you can see from the corner of your eye that he seems to be enjoying the situation , he was smiling slightly. You turned your face to look at him in the eyes and he looked so pure, so innocent with his soft see through bangs falling on his forehead and covering just a little bit of his eyes, with his eyes shining and squinted slightly because of his adorable smile which was ethereal. His soft pink lips parted slightly to show his cute bunny teeth but they were soon shut when his smile turned into a smirk as he got up from his place and made you stand up to walk towards the couch. Your mind was a blur and heart was beating so fast because his grip on your hand was so gentle yet dominant. He made you sit on the couch and sat beside you. He leaned closer to your face leaving almost no space with his eyes glued on you but you only looked at the switched off television in front of you because of the nervousness. Just when you felt like your lips were about to touch he pulled back and giggled and you were dumb founded seeing the remote in his hand. All this time he was only reaching out for the remote placed on the table behind you.

"Then I'll take you,thanks" he smiled saying it.
