Serendipity

Chapter 44

KIM NAMJOON

Shoot! Chaeyoung-ssi is hyung's brother!

Hyung opened up to me one time, saying how he misses his siblings. How he wishes that one day they'll be complete, even without a father.

He was their mother's child from a different man. Her first love. Mr. Son killed him when he found out that his future wife was already in love with someone else. He was also about to kill hyung but their mother escaped, only coming back a year later... With him.

Hyung told me this when he couldn't handle bottling up the pain anymore. He found his mother's diary when she was packing his things to send him to a friend of hers. Her mother's friend later asked permission if she could adopt him and Ms. Park agreed, knowing that he needs a real mother.

He said that her friend treated him like her own. But that never filled the void he still has in his heart. She never laid a hand on him and was very caring and supportive. She even gave him her surname.

But before she died, she told him to look for his family, saying that she only filled a quarter of the hole he has. Everything that was once her's were transferred to him by her. That's why he's filthy rich and successful. But hyung never asked for anything, not money, fame or fans. All he ever wanted was the only family he's ever had.

When he told me all of this, I soon realized that he's not a cold person. It's just really hard for him to open up to people. He more than what people see him as. He was the first person to accept me. Even after my parents disowned me for loving the same gender.

I know he needs some alone time right now, giving me time to think of how I should approach him later.

"Hyung... Why did Yoongi hyung act like that?" Chaeng asked, gaining my attention.

"It's not my place to tell you Chaeng."

SON CHAEYOUNG

I'm genuinely confused right now about how Yoongi hyung acted earlier. I think I hurt him when I admitted that I don't remember him. But when he showed me those pictures, I couldn't even grasped the flashes that I got.

Something was wrong... Something was missing...

I knew that kid from some of the photos were me, some even has Rosé in it. But why are we there? Why is there an older boy with us?

***

Dinner's long done and I already washed the dishes and is still up waiting for Yoongi hyung to eat while the two are already in their rooms, probably sleeping already.

Jennie and Rosé aren't with us right now since they're with Jeongyeon hyung and Tzuyu at the hospital so it's just gonna be the four of us here.

"Why are you still up?" hyung asked, sitting beside me making me snap out of my thoughts.

"Just waiting for you to eat hyung." I answered, smiling at him.

"Thanks... Cub."

I turned as fast as lightning to look at him as I heard the nickname.

"What di-"

"Cub. That was your nickname from me when we were little. Before we got separated."

Before we got separated...

I immediately clutched my head as there were a lot of images that's flashing through my head. Too fast for me to catch up.

Hyung was fast and catched me before I fall off the chair and was saying things I can't focus on.

And then everything went black.

MIN YOONGI

"Chaeng?! Chaeng!" I shouted lifting him a bit and patting his cheek just in case he wakes up.

"NAMJOON! NAMJOON!" I shouted again and again, trying my best to wake him up from where I am.

When shouting wasn't working, I pulled out my phone and dialed his number.

Pick it up you idiot!

[Hyu-]

"Come down here! Now!"

I hung up and heard footsteps running towards us. I looked up, expecting it to be Namjoon but instead, it was Jihyo-ssi, frightened.

"Oppa, we should bring him to a hospital. Now." she immediately said once she saw the situation.

"Which hospital?" I asked frantically.

"Hyung! What happened?!", Namjoon yelled, almost falling down the stairs.

"No time to explain! Let's go!" I said, carrying Chaeng while Namjoon opened the front door for us.

Jihyo-ssi got the keys and opened the garage letting us in before hoping in their wrangler and turning the engine up. We all got in, me and Chaeng at the back and Namjoon on the passenger seat.

***

"The patient's fine. Something must've happened to him when he was a child for him to forget almost a half of his childhood." the doctor said.

A HALF?!

"For now, he just needs some rest and he can go anytime he wants." he added and bowed before walking away.

"I'll kill him..." I muttered menacingly, clenching my fists after the doctor's out of sight.

"Hyung... Calm down." Namjoon said, rubbing my back.

"May I ask what your relationship with Chaeng is?" Jihyo-ssi asked.

Me and Joon went silent, debating on whether I should spill them or not.

"I-"

"He's our older brother."

I turned towards the owner of the voice and saw Chaeyoung holding the doornob, keeping it open. He then walked towards me and hugged me tight, making me hug him back.

"I don't know how we suddenly got an older brother but I'm glad we have one." he said after letting go, his words muffled by my shirt but still audible.

"I don't understand... I asked him but-"

"I'm not his son..." I whispered, cutting him off.

"If you're not... Then..."

"Yeah..." I whispered, letting it sink in.

"Look... Why don't I tell you the whole story when we also have Rosé with us?" I added.

***

We're back home and Chaeyoung already called Rosé, telling her to come back. ASAP.

The atmosphere was awkward and calm at the same time. Him and Jihyo-ssi were sitting together with me and Namjoon sitting in front of them.

A few minutes later, Rosé came in.

I never knew that the kid who would chase me around would be a lady now...

"Good evening." she greeted, bowing and sitting beside Chaeyoung.

"So... What this all about?" she asked.

"We have a brother."
