Oppa (전정국)

~9.5~

Your head could have blown off at that point from all the mixed emotions that clouded your brain. Being a caring brother was one thing, but the way Jungkook harshly handled you earlier was a no go. It's almost as if his behaviour as your older sibling was growing a bit...possessive.

You hugged your soft heart pillow that you got as a present in an attempt to muffle the sobs that threatened to spill from out of your mouth.

Soft knocks could be heard from the door, and since there was no one else in the house, it was safe to assume who it was.

Something in you glued your body to the bed but also created an urge to walk up and unlock the door to forgive the man standing behind it. Ugh, why am I like this? You thought.

"Y/N, I'm really sorry for my behaviour. Please open up." You could just imagine him burying his face in his palms for being such a jerk towards you. Pfft, he deserves it.

The knocks and pleas became louder, and you had to almost suffocate yourself with the pillow to ignore them. Ignoring them became harder and harder as every second passed by.

"I was just mad that you didn't answer my calls, so I thought for a second that you were in danger or something. I didn't mean to take my anger out on you like that. I'm sorry."

Most sibling fights would result in an endless backfire of insults, but you could tell just from the slight croakiness of his voice that Jungkook was trying to end the mess he dragged both of you into.

Pretty soon, you got up on both feet and...

Click!

The door opened up to reveal a teary eyed brunette whose eyes met yours at the clicking sound. No words needed to be said for him to crash into your chest and hug you tightly. "I'm sorry, Y/N. Please forgive me."

"No, I'm sorry. I should have told you where I was going, but I didn't think that you'd be this concerned about me," you mumble against his shoulder.

He immediately pulled away to connect your orbs with his. "You're my sister, Y/N. It's my job to protect you. I love you."

He cupped your face, forcing you to look up at him with a closer proximity before closing the distance between his lips and your forehead. His lips that seemed tiny felt soft and warm against your skin, making your tummy backflip, but at the same time sharp blow was delivered to your heart. Jungkook just said "I love you" and kissed your forehead, but it was not the kind of love you had hoped he meant. You wanted that love to sprout into something more beautiful and intense, but you didn't know if he wanted the same thing. He might not have, because you just hung out with some other guy to not witness the weird sight of him being around another girl. It made you sad that you didn't have the freedom to get lost in those dreamy eyes of his, to be kissed and touched like a prized possession, and to say those three words back, but with a different intention. These cultivating thoughts created a knot in your stomach and caused you to swallow hard.

You could've been developing feelings for your brother this whole time, and you didn't even realize it until now.
