WRONG STRINGS ATTACHED

Flashback to the childhood of Tae, Jin and Yoongi~~~

The Min and Kim family first met in Daegu at the annual day function of their children.

Yoongi then was seven, Jin was eight and Tae was just a five year old who came with his and Jin's mom to cheer for his hyung. While various school events were being carried on, the families became acquainted with one another. They tallked about their kids and how Tae would be joining the same school as his hyung from the following year.

Conversation then led to friendships and almost regular meetings and family brunches and picnics. Dinners were held monthly. Lunches at anytime. Yoongi mostly grew up in the warm and cozy home of the brothers. His parents were mostly away for work. Yoongi didn't necessarily miss them much anyway.

Yoongi's family was a normal one father-mother-child family however it was different for the other two. Jin and Tae were step brothers....in a way.

Jin's mother and father had met in Seoul while studying and fell in love(or what his mother thought). Eventually all this led to a three year relationship between them and his mom became pregnant with the first Kim child. Jin's father was more of a playboy who slept around. He would constantly make false promises to his mother about marrying her. Until one day a pregnant woman ended knocking at their doorstep. For a three old Jin things were very confusing. Two women crying hysterically speaking of somethings like 'cheat' ,'has a son' ,'never married' ,'player' 'left me', 'now what to do' left him puzzled.

That was probably the last he saw or heard of his father before he and his mother came to live with the fat belly lady in Daegu. As years passed ,he came to know of his father's deeds and that both the ladies were cheated by him. Now both had decided to live and bring their sons up together.Jin never really hated his father but never loved him either. For him the man never really existed.

However with time he grew in a household having two lovely mothers and one insanely good looking and intelligent younger brother. No one could tell they were step brothers. Jin brought up Taehyung like his own son and was very protective of him. He taught him everything in life. The brothers were so close that they literally shared their souls.

Jin and Tae were alike in most things but unlike Jin, the news about his father was never really taken well by Tae. Seeing his mothers cry at night and the fathers of other students at school led him to hate his father immensely. The boy was usually cheerful and extrovert but never really was able build up a relationship fearing that he would have the same fate as his mothers. This was both his bad point and defence mechanism.

Through the high school years the three friends became famous for good looks, intellect and approachable yet a tad bit attitude filled nature. Yoongi and Jin had casual relationships but for Tae it was only one night stands. Both girls and boys tried to approach him but he turned all of them down. Eventually people gave up and only slept around with him. To blame him for heart breaks was useless cause he never cared nor display his feeling. This nature of his was tried to be corrected by the other two but they also gave up with time.

thus,

Yoongi and Jin had normal Korean teen lives but Tae struggled to emotionally associate himself with others except the his mothers and hyung. He was close to both Jin and Yoongi who themselves weren't very close. Also the thing he grew up as was a hardcore sex lover ,which only his hyungs knew. He also was good at faking emotions and ended up being seen as rather innocent.

Yoongi's family left Daegu when their son started college in Seoul and the brothers continued to live and study in Daegu. Slowly his ties with Jin got cut down to annual birthday wishes but with Tae he conversed almost regularly.

Now the three were reunited and Tae was more than happy to have people he love around him. The list of people he loves was small and he was contented with it. He came here with the purpose of only working and having casual flings. He loved Yoongi dearly and was still apologetic of not having attended his wedding due to his college exams but now he would spent every minute meaningfully with his two favourites hyungs.

If only he knew that both the list of the people he loves and his favourites would change really soon....
