Third point of view

Welcome home, my brother," a familiar voice welcoming Taehyung.

"Namjoon hyung.. tell me why are you doing this to me!"

He giggled, which boiled up Taehyung's heart.

"Simple. To get my brother back," he replied.

"By fooling me around? D.."

"You are the one who started it first," he said which made Taehyung stuttered.

"You are the one who started to fool me and Yoongi hyung, don't you agree?" he asked again.

"That day, you and the other dongsaeng offered yourselves to get some groceries were actually planned to escape, right?" he asked.

Taehyung knows his quick-minded brother will know as soon as they slipped away from CCTVs in Jeju.

"I knew it from the start you planned. You know? Your expression can't change. Between those three dongsaeng, you are too obvious when you are lying. As a brother who raised you for 16 years, don't you think I'll know?"

Taehyung speechless.

"Taehyung-ah, hyungie ara (I know). People like us, can't live normally. Society look at us as a murderer. Actually, hyung want to let you live like other people too. But, hearing to Yerin's words just now.."

Taehyung looked on the ground. He didn't realise Namjoon is smirking. Namjoon approaches him.

"Taehyungie, let's live together like before, eung?" He pats Taehyung's neck.

"A..andwae," Taehyung refused. Namjoon's expression changed but he tried to control it.

"I still want a normal life even though Yerin doesn't accept me for who I am. I want hyungdeul wa dongsaengie (elder brothers and younger brother) to live a normal life. We can be happy if it is just five of us live in normal life. We don't have to disguise to go out. We can have fun. We can make friends. We can go to study. Namjoonie hyung want to further your study too, right?" It's Taehyung's turn to convince his brothers.

Without giving any chance to Namjoon to speak, Taehyung turns his back.

"Geurae!" Namjoon seems give up.

"Geurae! Whatever happened to your brothers are your responsibility," Namjoon yelled a bit, signalling his other brothers to pursue with plan B.

"Happened?" Taehyung asked while turning his body back to his brother.

"Don't you curious about what happened to Jungkook and Jimin?" Namjoon psyching him. Taehyung became speechless.

"You had a good life. You graduated. But do you know what happened to them?" Namjoon asked again.

"Hyung, what do you mean?"

Namjoon sighed.

"Come." Taehyung follows his step.

***

"Jungkook-ah," Namjoon called. Quite fierce. Well, he really doesn't know how to be sweet.

Jungkook seems out. Then, Namjoon holds his hand. Only by then, he turned his head towards Namjoon.

"Taehyungie is back," Namjoon tells.

"Hyung.." Taehyung is just about to ask what happened to Jungkook but then he stopped when Jungkook turned his head, back to how he was, looking straight to the front.

"Depression. Things didn't go well to him. I planned to make him live with Seong Deok, my another poor customer. But, he fell into Si Hyuk's trap," Namjoon tells straight, without any regrets on his face. That make him looks normal.

"They trained him to become like them. And when I think thing's getting worse, I saved him. But since then, this is how he became. He said, he had killed a lot of people and thay, he doesn't deserve life. Since then, he only sit in his room," as planned, Namjoon told the story. Half is true, but half, is a lie!

In fact, Jungkook killed Si Hyuk and his people for torturing him. And he never became like this. In fact, he lived his life well with his brothers.

Taehyung is fooled. He believes it.

"Hyung, can you leave us here?" he asked without looking at Namjoon. His eyes locked on Jungkook.

Namjoon left the room. As soon as he closed the door, he smirked. He knows. Taehyung had fall into their trick.
