Chapter 23 - Namjoon Can't Fix It

Ignoring the letter I went to bed. I really didn't feel like going to school but I had too. It was fine until many people started asking things like, "What happened with Issac and you?" Which I didn't even know myself.

I only liked him as a friend but from what I heard he wanted something more. My heart still ached. Many people knew he died but the story was twisted up.

For the whole day Kookie noticed how uncomfortable I felt so he made sure I was okay. I felt safe around him.

"Hey Kook?" We were walking home and he turned his head to face me. "Hm?"
"Thank you for today." He smiled and swung his arm around me. "Anything for you noona." 

Damn his smile and charms.

Once we arrived home Jimin and Tae were waiting for us in the living room. "Let's all go to the mall." Tae looked excited with his box smile. "All of us?" Kookie grew suspicious I'm guessing they didn't tell him. Jimin simply nodded.

"If you're going to go out take my car it's bigger." Jin came out from the kitchen with heart shaped cookies.

"A way to win a girls heart is with food so here you go (Y/n) I made these myself." I felt flattered. "Give me updates have fun and control yourselves guys." Jin gave strong glares to the boys. "No promises hyung!" Tae said as he took my hand and made me run out the house.

"WAAH TAE made my drop my cookie!" I said while holding onto the part that didn't fall.

"You didn't even let Kookie and her change Tae." Jimin was right but I didn't mind the uniform was decent to go shopping in. I called shot gun so Jimin and me were in front. The drive would be decently long so we all made conversation. It grew quiet once Tae and Kook fell asleep.

"So (Y/n)." "Yeah?"

"How was life like before you met us?" I thought hard about how it was since life before them was very different. "It was normal."

"Is this not normal?" I laughed "Jimin before I didn't have step brothers who all love me and I wasn't part of a so called business nor a cult." "Oh right." I notice he tensed up he probably felt like he messed up.

Still somehow I felt that my words came out wrong so I had to clear myself, "But despite all this weird stuff I don't think I would want any other life if this were a dream this is where I would want to be." He smiled "Life before you was actually bad." "How?"

"Well you know Jin was in the business but he got out not only for himself but also Kookie begged him. You know Yoongi and Namjoon aren't blood related with the rest of us, Jin found Yoongi while Tae found Namjoon. We took them in and we all got along at first until Yoongi and Namjoon started to act different. That's when we found out then Lisa came along."

Now was my chance to ask who was she really.

"Can you tell me more about her?" "No we all swore we wouldn't." I nodded but I was still left wondering what was so special about her. "But when you came we all agreed that you were the best thing that happened to us."

"Now wake them up we're here." Jimin ruined the moment but I did as told. "Noona I'm still tired." Kookie was at his most vulnerable state since he was still tired. "Hey Kookie what were you dreaming about that you didn't want to wake up?" Just like that Tae's words woke Kookie up.

We all walked in with me somewhat in the  middle.

"So what are we doing here guys?" "We're going to spoil you today." I nearly tripped on nothing but Tae's words. "No no NO!"

They all stopped walking. "Why not?" Jimin looked upset.

"If this is one of your methods to win me over I don't really like it I mean it's nice and all but you can't buy someone."

"I agree a girl a like (Y/n) has flowers growing in her ribs she's priceless." Kookie grabbed my hand. "It works for other girls" Jimin said while looking down. "I'm not like other girls."

"Well this is awkward how about we get some food?" I laughed at how easily Tae can fix the mood.

We all chose a buffet since we all wanted different food. The boys were looking at me in awe. "Is there someone behind me?" "No it's just I've never seen a girl eat so much" Kookie compared his two plates to my four. "Here open" Tae was offering me some ice cream from across the table.

"You guys are just so cute" our waitress picked up empty plates and looked at Tae and me. "She clearly doesn't see how (Y/n) and me are better." Jimin picked at his food angrily. Just then my phone buzzed and so did everyone else's.

The second text was in a group chat with Jimin, Tae, Kookie, and me. The first was just specifically meant for me. We all looked up from our phones and gazed at each other.

"What do we do?", baby Kookie was already afraid.

"We go out and find them." Jimin was trying to take lead already.

"We should go to the business home to grab stuff." Tae nodded at my idea.

"We don't know where it is though." I was so surprised they knew Namjoon, Yoongi, and Jin longer than me yet I knew where it was.

"That's fine I'll drive." We all got up from our seats and ran out.

We all buckled into Jin's car. This time Tae was in front and for once in my life he looked serious.

"See Jimin this is what I meant by my life before was normal."
