Namjoon's POV

I can't believe how close that was. Jin almost walked in on my plan. If he found out things wouldn't end well.

I knew he suspected something because me and Jackson were literally hiding behind the lockers in an empty hallway, and probably because of how scared I was when he called my name.

I'm just hoping that he eats enough to forget about all this. He was quiet the entire drive to his house, so I just played some random radio channel to reduce the awkwardness. Even the whole time I was at his house he was distant and when we left he didn't really say bye properly. I don't like hiding things from Jin but he can't find out about this. That would ruin everything.

I lied to Jin today. Jackson isn't my friend and he hasn't recently moved to Seoul. In fact he's been living here for quite a long time now.

I first met Jackson at a bar. I'd had a serious argument with my father which ended in him throwing a book at my face, and I knew that if I stayed in the house any longer, I would probably end up pushing his wheelchair off of the roof, so I left the house and went to the bar I normally go to so I could cool off.

Jackson had just started working there as a bartender and he was extremely flirty but got the hint that I wasn't interested after I smashed a bottle of vodka on the counter top.

I went to that bar from time to time, and one day I saw Jackson giving people spiked drinks to give to their dates. Motherfucker. He would do anything for money... just like my mother.

So, when I started getting agitated because Mark wouldn't leave Jin alone, I had this amazing idea, that I could pay Jackson to distract Mark and get him to start dating Mark until Jin falls in love with me and we officially start dating. After that he can just dump Mark and go do whatever he wants.

I was quite pleased too with the work he's done already. He has Mark's number and I saw Mark a lot less today, but he better remember that it's Mark he needs to go after and not swerve towards my Jin.



"Master Kim, the young master has not eaten." My butler, Clive, told me. Clive is the closest thing I've had to a father figure. He would always take care of my wounds and help me stop crying after my father would beat me.

I sighed in annoyance to what he had told me.
"Why are you telling me? Go ask him to eat food or something." I said.
He smiled sadly before continuing, "I have sir, but he refused." Why is he telling me this I have nothing to do with any of this. I raised an eyebrow to show him that I was not clear of what he wanted from me. He cleared his throat and looked as if he was trying to find the right words.
"I was wondering that, perhaps, if you asked him he would eat something. He's been eating less and less each day. If this continues he'll die." Clive suggested.

Now I was angry. Jungkook has been taking everyone I love from me. First he took my mother, then Jin and now Clive. The nerve of him.

"I'm done with Jungkook's shit. What does he think he's gonna get from doing all this. He's pretending to be depressed and all to get everyone's attention and sympathy. Disgusting! He has no right to do this. His mother didn't leave him for money. His father didn't abuse him constantly. If he doesn't want to eat then let him starve. If he's gonna be ungrateful then let him kill himself." I boomed to which Clive looked seriously disappointed. I then heard a sob rip through the room and I turned around to find Jungkook with the most heartbroken look. His teary eyes looked up to meet my widened ones for a split second before he ran off. Damn. I should really start looking around before I speak.

I honestly felt like shit now. I knew Jungkook was depressed because often I would wake up at night to get a drink and if I walked past his room I would be able to hear little sobs, but I just decided to ignore it. I thought he was exaggerating for attention but the look on his face told me otherwise.

I looked back at Clive and groaned. "What do I do now?" Clive just shook his head. "You need to fix this yourself Master Kim. If you have caused the damage you need to be the one that puts it right. I could go comfort the young master, but it's not the same," Clive demanded but I protested.

"Do you really think he wants to see me after all I've said? This is just not gonna work." I complained. Clive chuckled slightly before speaking, "trust me you are the one he wants to see right now. Go." I opened my mouth to speak but Clive gave me a terrifying look after which I turned around to walk towards Jungkook's room.

I took a few deep breaths to steady myself which was very hard because I could clearly hear Jungkook choking back sobs constantly. After standing outside his door for 10 minutes I decided to finally go in.

Jungkook was huddled in the corner on the floor at the foot of his bed, clinging to that stuffed koala again. He stopped crying once he heard the door slam.
"It's okay Clive. I'm okay. I'm not angry at Namjoon hyung." He must have thought that I was Clive.

I cleared my throat to let him know that it was me, and as soon as he heard me he froze. I slowly approached him and sat down on the bed. Today I'm going to find out why he always acts so sad. There's no way out Jungkook.

"Look at me Jungkook." I murmured softly. He slowly peeked up at me. "I'm very sorry for all the things I said. I shouldn't think like this when I don't even know anything about you." I told him and he shook his head and hiccuped several times before speaking, "Its okay. It's not your fault and I'm not angry at you-"
"But I'm angry at you." I blurted out. He looked shocked before he began to cry.

"Listen Jungkook. Like you've heard before you had your mother with you the whole time. You had your family with you. You had a normal childhood so tell me. What right do you have? What right do you have to act more hurt and broken than me? Tell me Jungkook." I demanded but he only shook his head.

"Tell me, what is it that everyone else knows that I don't? Why do they know what hurts you and I don't.? Tell me so I can fix you. You're my brother, so if there's someone who should help you it should be me. It will be me. So tell me." I ended with a warm smile and he slowly smiled back.

I don't care anymore if he had everything that I should have had. He's my brother and I will do everything in my power to help him.
