9:21 a.m. Sunday morning, Y/n's House

"Ok, on three. One... Two..." a small whisper caused me to stir awake. "THREE!"

I opened my eyes just in time to see a bunch of nerf gun bullets being shot at me. I grabbed the blanket to pull it up to cover my face, but it was pulled away from me.

"Stop!" I yelled out and threw my hands in front of my face to keep the bullets from hitting my face. Hoseok and Jae were still shooting. "Guys!"

They ran out of bullets after thirty or so seconds. Then Jae jumped onto the bed next to me.

"Mooooorning noona!" He screamed in my ear. My hand flew up to cover the ear that he yelled in while the other hand pushed him away.

"Get away." He fell off the bed. Hoseok came and sat next to me on the bed. "What time is it?" I asked him.

"Almost 9:30. Come on we made breakfast," he pulled me from my bed. I saw Jae dash out the door, us following the little boy to the kitchen.

"Is it poisoned?" I asked as I played with the food they put on my plate.

"No." Jae scoffed. "I'll eat yours though," he reached over to grab my pancake, but I slapped his hand away.

"We figured you'd be a little mad after we beat you in a battle so pancakes was all we came up with as a sorry," Hoseok joined us at the counter.

"Oh. Ok, I mean, American foods are my favorite." I said, happily munching on my food.

Hoseok had left around 11, saying he had a business meeting. So Jae and I played video games. Jae mostly won because I don't play them that often anymore.

I checked the time on my phone. It read 1:47 so I decide to take Jae over to the Park's house for the afternoon.

At the Park's I ran into Jimin, and he offered for me to come in and visit. Being me, I couldn't decline.

We talked about many thing for over an hour. I had realized it was five minutes to three so I said my goodbyes and left. Not before telling Jae I'll be home at 6 so he should be too.

When I arrived at the cafe it was 3:11. I took an Uber there. Surprisingly Taehyung had already been seated at a table as he looked at his phone.

I walked up to him and tapped his shoulder. "I was wondering when your going to get here. Have a seat." He stood up and pulled out a chair across from where he was seated.

"Okay. What's up? You're actually being nice, it's weird," I said as I sat down in the seat.

"Y/n, I need to you listen closely and carefully," he started. I nodded and let him continue, "I got a letter from your brother." He sighed.

"W-What? Impossible, you said you didn't." I froze.

He said he didn't. He couldn't have. These types of thoughts ran through my mind as he tried to regain my attention.

"Y/n?"

I shook my head to focus back at him, "why?"

"I'm sorry for lying. I have the letter if you want to read it," he passed a folded piece of paper across the table. I could feel my eyes start to fill with tears.

"Can I?" I asked and reached for the paper. He nodded and told me to read it carefully.

The letter read:

Dear Kim Taehyung,
   Hey bud, I'm sorry first of all. I know it's unbelievable that this has happened, but I want you to understand why. I want you to know that I did it so I could be free. So you, Hoseok, even my family could be safe. Now listen, I'm not gonna go into detail about what I mean cause you already know the stories.
   Hopefully you get this. I sent them by mail. I sent them all out except for my family members. I only wrote to my parents, Y/n, and Jae though. You are carrying Y/n's. I kept my parents with them and they also have Jae's. Give Y/n hers when Hoseok has completed the task I gave him. Also when she————————————————-. Never tell her about this.
   Tae, you were like a little brother to me. I remember when we first stole alcohol at one of the banquets, you were 10 and I was 11. I remember how we would sneak out at 4 in the morning to go get burgers and go to that old abandoned house. That one time you sprained your wrist when you were 16 cause we had to jump a wall at a club not to get caught. How I got you your first girl at the age of 14 ;). All I'm asking bud is that you never forget me. I just wanted to say that I love you bro.
-your #1 fan, Moonsoo
P.S. take Jungkook's fucking hint! I know you like him!!

At this point I had tears rushing down my face. In my blurry vision I could see past year stains most likely caused from Taehyung.

"It's okay Y/n." Taehyung came up next to me and gave me a hug. I fell back into the hug as my sobs got louder.

"H-he lied to me." I choked out. "Hos-seok got a-a let-ter t-too." My crying was unstoppable while Taehyung held onto me as if I were to break.

"I know. I know. I had to tell you. I'm sorry," he whispered in my ear in a calming voice. "It'll be okay. How about I take you home?"

I shook my head. "I don't want to go home." My voice was barely noticeable.

"Then I'll take you for a drive so you can calm down," he stood up and gently took my hand in his. He led me to his car and helped me into the passenger seat. I was still crying but I was also calming down at this point.

After driving around for ten minutes, I had finally stopped crying and was ready to ask him questions.

"What was crossed out?"

"Just something that you don't need to worry about. I'll tell you when it happens." He answered, focusing on the road while his gaze switched to me every once in a while.

"How about Hoseok's letter? Does he have one?" I barely was able to say this sentence. It was the dreaded question I had. I didn't want it to be true that he had his own letter and that he lied to me.

"Yeah. He only lied to protect you. We were the only two from the group," he sighed.

"Why not Jin?"

"What about Jin?" He glanced over at me.

"Jin was at all the banquets. Jin talked to my brother a lot too. So why didn't Jin get a letter?" I said, fiddling with my fingers, trying to avoid his eyes.

"Cause they never hung out. They only talked at the banquets, and when they did, it was simple conversations." Taehyung replied. His car pulled up to the front of my house. "Come on, I'll take you in."

I accepted his gesture, and he took me into my house. "Wait," I stopped him from leaving. "You like Jungkook?"

"Good day, Y/n." He turned around and walked to his vehicle.

"Taehyung! I'm serious! I wanna help you two get together," I yelled as I ran after him. He stopped and looked at me.

"It's fine Y/n. Go take a breather. Besides I know he likes me, I'm just waiting for the right moment. Bye now," and with that he got into the drivers side and drove off.

I went straight up to my room and went to bed. I need time to think. I woke up at 5:55 to make sure Jae got home. When he did, I told him I was going back to bed.

I wasn't ready to face him tomorrow at school.
