"How are you feeling right now?" I looked up to Jungkook as we walked to the cafe where we'll be meeting Jungkook's brother.

"Nervous but I'm ready to fight him." He answered me confidently.

"You don't need to fight, okay? Just settle this coolly." I carressed his hand with my thumb to calm him down. He nodded with a smile. Then, we entered the said cafe and saw him sitting at the second floor of the place.

"Hello, hyung." Jungkook greeted him since he was busy on his phone. He looked at us with a cold look and put his phone down.

"Sit." He gestured us to sit in front of him. Just before he could talk, a waitress came to our table and served two drinks.

"Thank you," his brother said to her and she left. He cleared his throat before speaking.

"How are you?" He asked, specifically to Jungkook.

"I'm fine." Jungkook answered short.

"You." He looked at me.

"I didn't expect you to be this smart, Haeryung." Seems like today is going to be a tough day for me. He sipped on his drink before continuing.

"Hyung, don't try to hurt her." Jungkook interrupted.

"Oh, you're her hero now, huh?" He spoke which made Jungkook clench his fist.

"Just admit that you're wrong, hyung. Why do you have to be so selfish?"

"You asked me why? Well, it was all because of you, Jungkook." He answered. Jungkook had a confused expression on his face, still not getting the idea of it. To be honest, I am too. I can't figure it out.

"Before you were born, I was their only child. Their only son who they always adore, love and care about. Everything was doing well for me until you were born. It was okay for me when you're still a baby but everything changed when you start to grow."

"They gave their attention to you more, they adore you like you're the only son for them and they get you whatever you want. Especially, mother."

"Like they said, you're their precious golden. Unlike me, just a boy who just wants his parents love. Since then, I don't feel the love from my parents anymore just because of you. That is why I'd rather say I'm an orphan than having parents because all they care is you." He emphasized.

"So, I promised to myself to work hard and change my miserable life. At the age of 19, I moved here and my life is happy. It was hard but look where I am today. This is all because of my hard work, Jungkook." Jungkook listened to his brother silently as he digested all the words that had been said to him.

"I'm sorry, hyung. This is all because of me." He hung his head down for quite a long time. I could see he was pursing his lips hard to hold his tears up.

"Your sorry couldn't even heal the pain that I've been suffering for the past few years, Jungkook. So, I guess there's no use for you to apologize." He responded.

"You must be happy, right? To be raised and loved by your parents. To get all the attention from them. Let me make it simple, everything. Everything in your life must be so easy for you, right? Jungkook?" He added more. I can't stand this guy anymore. As I was about to speak, Jungkook voiced out first.

"You really think I was living an easy life?" He lifted his head with watery eyes. He scoffed.

"Well, you are wrong, brother. I am living a hard life too without you knowing."

"As the youngest, I feel very pressured because our parents expects me to be as good as you in everything. They always told me how excellent you are in school, how they feel very proud of you when you got first place in almost every competition that you entered and so much more about you, hyung."
