20. Adult Child

Jin's POV

I was in the house as company for Yoongi since Namjoon and Hoseok were working and I had a day off. The entire time, all we did was talk to each other about interests we had in common. Yoongi rambled on about his obsession with Kumamon while I rambled on about my obsession with myself; the one and only Worldwide Handsome. 

After a while, I went to the kitchen to make some tea for the both of us; our throats were parched after all that talking we just did. I was almost done when Yoongi dropped a question that I thought he would never ask. 

"Hyung," he called out.

"Ne?" I answered.

"Remember a few days ago, when you told me that Krystal's gone through more than I think she has?" he asked.

"Yeah?" 

"What did you mean by that?"

I brought the two mugs of coffee and put it on the table, sat down and looked at Yoongi.

"I meant she's gone through more than you think she has," I said. Yoongi rolled his eyes at me.

"Seriously hyung," he spoke. "What the hell did you mean?"

"There are things about Krys that you don't know."

"And you know?"

"Yes. I know."

"What?!"

"That's how life works, Yoongi."

"So, you're saying that there are things about Krystal that you know but I don't and I'm her brother."

"Not after what you said last week." Yoongi rolled his eyes again.

"Stop changing the topic hyung. Just get straight to the point!" 

"Why do you even want to know?" 

"Because I, as her older brother, have a right to know. Did our parents know?"

"Yes. They knew."

"WHAT?! SO NO ONE TOLD ME BUT YOU KNOW ABOUT IT!"

"Calm the fuck down. No one told me either. I just know because I do."

"Okay then. If you know, go ahead and tell me."

"I can't." 

"What?"

"I said I can't."

"And why's that?!"

"Because I can't. It's her secret."

"What she doesn't know won't hurt her." I could tell at this point that Yoongi was getting impatient so I decided I would tell him. He was basically an adult acting like a child. You can lie to him. Just don't make it obvious, Jin. You're handsome, you're beautiful. You can do it.

"Okay. So, something happened to her when she was a kid."

"What?"

"Basically-"

"OPPA!" I heard Krystal shout from behind me. I turned to face her with a slightly shocked expression.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" she yelled.

"I-" I spoke before she cut me off.

"UGH! JUST COME UP TO MY ROOM AND WE'LL TALK THERE!" she said, storming up the stairs. Shit. 

Krystal's POV

I slammed the door shut after Jin oppa Wales into my room.
