The New Step Sister

Twenty Four

I go back to my room and change into my clothes. The second I was finished dressing I heard stepfathers voice call out "Can everyone come into the dining room please!"

Did he find Jungkook? When did he get back? Is he alright? Thoughts flooded my mind as I quickly go downstairs.

Once I enter the room, I see that everyone is already there and sitting down. Ahead of the table is Stepfather holding moms hand. Beside stepfather is Jungkook, looking down at his hands.

The second I see him I felt the anger in me rise. He didn't care that his words could have tremendous effect on not just him, but me and everyone else.

I sit down, staring daggers at Jungkook. At the sound of my seat, he looks up. He sees my expression and for a moment, he seems remorseful.

Stepfather clears his throat and begins to speak. "I'm glad that everyone is here so we can have a family discussion. But first, I think Jungkook wants to say something not just to you dear," he taps moms hand, "but to y/n as well."

Jungkook stood up, scratched the back of his head as if he was nervous. He looks at mom and starts to speak. "I'm...Im sorry I said those things to you last night. Dad was right. I haven't been handling my emotions well."

He turns and locks eyes with me. "I'm also sorry to you, y/n. I shouldn't have used you to hurt your mom. I disrespected her and especially you. My words... they were a mistake. And a lie." He sat back down in his seat.

The first feeling I felt was betrayal. I thought that he could keep this secret, but he had no hesitation to use it against me. Even though mom and stepfather think that what he said isn't true, I still felt hurt.

"Thank you Jungkook," Stepfather stands. "Now let's discuss as a family about how we can move forward with this. Is there anyone who would like to say anything?"

Yoongi raises his hand. "Jungkook, I hope you realize that your actions have consequences that can affect others around you."

Namjoon speaks up, "I agree. What you said last night was unacceptable."

Stepfather nods, "Yes. It was completely inappropriate."

Jin chimes in. "I think he should see a therapist and talk about his problems with a professional. Someone who can help him."

Jungkook scoffs. Stepfather shoots him a glance.

Jimin, who was looking straight at the table says "I think he should be sent somewhere else so he doesn't keep ruining everyone's lives."

Everyone is shocked at Jimin. He is usually the sweet and caring guy but right now he seems pissed off.

"Well," Stepfather says, "I think that's a little extreme..."

"Really?" Jimin holds his head up. "Because I don't. He has said some really demeaning things before... but I think now he has crossed the line." He crosses his arms and turns his head at Jungkook. "He needs to learn his lesson." Jungkook and Jimin squint at each other, cursing in their minds.

I should probably speak up before they kill one another. "I agree with Jin. He should see a therapist. I think it's in his best interest."

"Alright then," Stepfather says. "It's settled. Jungkook are you going to give me trouble for this?" He raises his eyebrow waiting for Jungkook to answer.

Jungkook sighed, "No. I won't give you trouble."

"Good." He claps his hands. "Okay everyone! Get ready for school and work!"

Everyone got up from the table and gathered their things, the oldest going to university, me and the youngest going to school.

Jungkook was the last to stand up. I watch as he slowly gets up, his dark eyes piercing me. I glance away, and head out the door.

I was the first one in the car on the far right side. On the other side, Jimin let Tae go in the middle seat next to me, and he sat on the far left. He shut the door just a little too hard and looked out the window, his hand under his chin.

I look out of my window, afraid that if I see Jimins angered face I might start to cry. Jungkook walks up to the passenger side and gets in the car, avoiding my eye contact.

The drive to school was completely silent, leaving everyone with just their thoughts.
