The warm blanket that wrapped around my sisters shivering body had my mouth sealed in guilt. The fabric had reached all over and kept her warm outside the station. The blanket was probably given to her by a nice cop to face the after winter period that was still quite cold.

"Are you okay" was the best I could let out to her.

When her eyes were gazing back, I turned away, scratching behind my hair, scared to look her in the eye.

"I'm fine" she replied with quivering lips. Her eyes were searching the ground as if nothing above her mattered. And I know that feeling. Yet I can't do anything about it. Conceal it, be strong, and fight back, were the words I always chant when I see her in pain.

"She's fine, hyung. Let's just go back home" Jungkook suggested and started to walk forward. I looked at him and then back at Harin and found that she was not coming with us. With a blank expression, I just stood there and waited for someone to say something. Jungkook stopped and turned back. He then gestured me forward.

"I told aunty to come by before telling you. She is inside there filling out a few documents to take Harin home"

Suddenly I felt like someone had hit me from behind. The fierce pain in the form of anger was making me upset. I marched towards him and held his right arm tightly. He didn't react much but just continued to stare at me.

"You told my mom!" I yelled, shaking his arm. "I can't believe you told my mom, Jungkook. Why would you do that?"

I walked away from him and then back to him with my hands grabbing and pulling my hair. And then curiosity was summoned before me. "What did you tell her? Did you tell about her split personality? Her hypnosis? Her tattoo? About her kidnapping people? Or even her being a killers accomplice?!"

Jungkook twisted his face and tapped my shoulder in complete shock.

"Clam down, hyung. I didn't tell her anything. All I told her was that we were caught vandalizing the back wall of the police station and that she had to come to pick her up"

"And the cops agreed to that story?"

"Well I don't know what magic Mr. Park did, but they agreed to it. Even then they stood strong to their statement that they wanted a real parental guardian to pick her up. So I had no choice but to call aunty"

"Then how did you get out without a parental guidance?"

"They know I'm Mr. Joon, the great's son. So they let me out. And I did have Mr. Park support my back, so it was quite easy"

"Mr. Park? The richest man in town stood on a kids side and didn't like ask for your kidney or something?"

"He is surprisingly a good man"

And we laughed it off and started walking back home. Jungkook took slow steps, as if he wanted it to be a long walk and I had to keep up with his pace.

"Aren't you going to ask me?" He questioned.

"Ask you what?"

"Why the ringtone was in my phone this time?"

"Oh that"

"You're not curious?"

"Well I think maybe Haylee, the other side of Harin might have told him"

"Hm, so you think there is a 'him' still out there" he asked, this time his voice was a little sharper than before. Jungkook started walking backwards and continued to stare at my reaction.
