"Do you know Annyeonghaseyo?"

Later that day when I got home, I ran to my little brothers room and started to bang on his door. Soon, he opened his door and gave me his normal small wave and forced smile.

"K-Kookie! I-I love you!" I said. Jungkook's eyes widened and he threw his arms around my waist, picking me up and spinning me around. I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. Jungkook sat me down and then hugged me tightly.

"Y-You're speaking again?" I heard him ask, his voice shaking. I knew he was crying.

"Y-Yes! B-But be-before y-you s-st-start ju-jump-ping for j-joy, I-I am so su-super very extr-tremly s-s-so-sorry! Y-You aren't th-the first one I-I spoke t-to!" I said. My voice shaking like crazy because my vocal cords were NOT used to being worked this much. Jungkook pulled out of the hug and glared playfully at me.

"Who was it? Was it Jin hyung?" Jungkook asked. I shook my head no.

"I-It was th-the new k-ki-kid at sc-school, N-Namj-jo-joon."

"Namjoon? Huh, he's pretty cute!" Jungkook said with a giggle. I knew it was real. A real giggle and a real smile on my baby brothers face. "Noona, I don't care who it was that got you to talk again. I'm just so happy to hear your voice again." Jungkook said. "You deserve to be happy after what all happened." Jungkook said, his mood dropping a bit.

~Flash Back~

I was 13 years old. My life was amazing. I had my two brothers, Jungkook and Jimin, my parents, and Jinnie! Everything was perfect. Until one night. My parents left me at home with my two brothers, Jungkook 12, and Jimin 15. About two hours later than our parents were supposed to get home, two police officers showed up at our house.

"We are extremely sorry to tell all of you this, but both of your parents are dead. They were killed in a mass shooting." The police told Jimin.

I stared at the police in horror. Jungkook was screaming at them and kicking the walls, the sofas, the coffee table, and the police officers. Jimin was trying hard to hold Jungkook back. But me, I just sat there, not doing anything.

~End Flash Back~

Jungkook and I went into the kitchen and we both sat on the counter.

"Hey, noona, I love you too." Jungkook said.

"I-I-"

"I didn't say it back earlier. I was just so happy to hear you speak again. I-I mean, a-after m-mom and dad, th-then Jimin, and m-me..."Jungkook said, then rushed to me and started to cry in my arms. I wrapped my arms tightly around him and rubbed soothing circles on his back, knowing he loved it when I would do that.

"J-Ju-Jungk-koo-kookie, it'll b-be okay." I said, then started crying. I hadn't crying in over a year. Jungkook held me tightly.
