Taehyung's POV

"She's with me because she lives here," I answered. "And why do you need to know why I'm here at this time?"

"Taehyung?" I heard Jin hyung's voice from inside the house.

"Ne, hyung?" I replied.

"Come inside. Don't let Yoongi keep you outside," he said. I looked at Yoongi hyung who rolled his eyes at me before moving. I walked inside the house with Krystal in my arms before climbing upstairs and taking her to her room. I placed her on her bed so that she would be comfortable, removed her shoes, covered her with her blanket and tucked her in so she would sleep peacefully. Afterwards, I made my way back downstairs.

"Taehyung, why so late?" Jin hyung asked me as I took a seat on the couch.

"We were out," I answered.

"Where? I went looking for Krystal and I couldn't find her," he spoke.

"Somewhere outside the city," I replied.

"Where did you guys meet?" he asked.

"I saw her at the park and we decided to keep each other company after that," I answered.

"Okay," he said. "I'm just glad to know that she's safe." I smiled at Jin hyung and he smiled back at me; the fear of being reprimanded that was building up inside of me vanished in an instant.

"Who let you stay out until 4?" I heard Yoongi hyung say.

"Hyung, I can do what I want to," I responded.

"Answer my question."

"Why should I?"

"Because I need to know."

"Why? Are you worried about Krystal? The same girl who you kicked out of her own house? The same girl you always blame for your parents' death? The same girl who's always crying because of the things you do to her? You're worried about that girl?"

Yoongi hyung was dead silent.

"I thought so."

"Taehyung, show some respect" Jin hyung spoke.

"Hyung, he disrespected her so much. How am I supposed to show some respect?" I asked him.

"Actually... Taehyung is right," Jin hyung said, turning to face Yoongi hyung.

"How?" he asked, crossing his arms across his chest.

"Yes, it's disrespectful to not use honorifics when saying your name but you didn't have to kick her out of the house," Jin hyung said.

"Yes I did," Yoongi hyung replied.

"No you didn't. She probably has her reasons for not using honorifics when calling your name," Jin hyung spoke.

"What reasons, huh? I'm her older brother. She has to use honorifics when saying my name," Yoongi justified himself.

"Reasons you may not know about," Jin hyung said.

Huh? Reasons Yoongi hyung might not know of?

"She's gone through more than you think she has," he spoke before getting up and going upstairs.

"Gone through more than I think she has...?" Yoongi hyung mumbled to himself. What does Jin hyung mean by that?

Yoongi's POV

Gone through more than I think she has? No way. She's lived with me ever since she was a child, other than the fact that she lived with halmeoni (grandma) and hal-abeoji (grandpa) for 3 years. But what could possibly happen with our grandparents? The only trauma she's been through was the death of our parents last week. So how could she possibly have been through more than I think she has?
