4 - Cowardly

"Welp, I sent it... The bloody dress. All we have to do now is wait for their response." Jimin shrugged before taking an apple from the table while looking at Jisoo who's preparing a meal on the tray.

"Let me know what happens." The girl replied, smile not leaving her lips as she pours apple juice in a glass.

Chaeyoung was no longer a captive for Jisoo even if the girl still refuses to leave her room. It was her choice now. And somehow, this girl's starting to smile genuinely, thanks to Jisoo's efforts of making her feel at home.

"Can you ask her to join us for dinner? I mean, that's welcoming, right? Instead of eating inside her room." Jimin asked before taking a crunchy chunk off the fruit.

"I alreadt did." Jisoo rolled her eyes, "She may still be terrified, okay? Give her time. I'm trying my best to warm up with her."

"Did she happen to tell you what she told Chanyeol?" He asked, curious as he munches.

"I'm trying to avoid of even speaking his name. And I can't just ask her about what she thought about the man who raped her."

"Bro has been really off since that night. He's always in dad's office. He's not like this." Jimin sighed in defeat at the same time that he chews.

"Well... let him suffer alone. Out of all the things he could do, never in my imagination did I ever think he would force himself to someone... I know he's been angry since uncle disappeared and it got worse since Jisung. Let him be with his guilt. At least, someone knocked some sense into him. You, on the other hand, had been condoning his poor decision making. He's supposed to be taking over uncle's place but he had been to focused on vengeance that he forgets he also has responsibility with the lives of his people." Jisoo clicks her tongue in the end, crossing her arms as she looked at Jimin.

"What did you feel when they call Jisung a slutty faggot?" Jimin asked but his eyes suddenly changed, like that of someone who's ready to murder. Just like how Chanyeol looked when he was told of the news.

"He's dead yet it's still amusing them. He never did anything wrong to them yet they used him and shamed him. Are you okay with that? Will you just let that slide?" He continued, teeth gritting in anger as his hands tremble everytime he thinks about him. He just want to explode and murder every last person who's involved but of course, he can't just do that.

"I know. But hurting Chaeyoung isn't the way to take vengeance. It won't accomplish anything." Jisoo retorted calmly.

"It'll feel better if I can just torture stinking fartbag."

Jisoo shakes her head as she lets out a sigh of frustration. She can't control the fiery emotions of her cousins but at least, someone did for one of them.

"C'mon Jimin. Help me take these to her." Jisoo said before sliding in the tray towards Jimin who too sighed outloud.

Chaeyoung instantly smiled as soon as she heard soft knocks on her door, immediately knowing it's Jisoo. Despite having her guard up all the time, she looked forward with her visits for never have she met a girl who acts very gently, who spoke politely and smiles sweetly. She even tied her hair in a pretty braid.

Maybe, this is what a sister should be?

She hastened towards the door but as soon as she opened it, her smile faded when she was greeted by another person... a guy with a silver hair.

"Hi!" He greeted with such enthusiam but immediately felt awkward when the girl lost her smile upon seeing him and hid behind the door.

"Hey! Dinner time!" Jisoo jumped from behind Jimin.
