"Seokjin, is that all? Aren't you hiding something from us?"
I glared at Seokjin. He stared right back at me.

I was about to press him harder when someone grabbed my shoulder to stop me. I knew it was Namjoon. I didn't even have to check.

"Don't cut in, Namjoon. Why do you care? You're not even my real brother."

I could feel Namjoon's eyes on me. I shook his hands off of me. I knew I should stop. I was only taking my anger out on Namjoon because he was the here.

Earlier I'd walked back to our lodging and overheard Namjoons conversation on the phone. He was right. I was only a year younger than him. I wasn't his brother. I had to take care of myself. I knew all of this. But hearing it still hurt.

"Taehyung. I'm sorry. So let's just stop here," Seokjin said, being the first to break the silence.

Seokjin apologized. Namjoon didn't. He didn't say anything. He just kept starting at me angrily.

"Stop what? Just lay it all out on the table. You're hiding something from us."

Everyone looked at Seokjin. Seokjin looked at me pleadingly. He wanted me to stop.

"Let's go outside and talk," Namjoon told me, tightening his grip on my shoulder so I couldn't shake him off again.

"Let me go. What right do you think you have? What do you know? You don't know anything. You think you're something special, huh?"

Namjoon abruptly let go of me arm. I stumbled forward. The moment he let go of my arm it felt as if the chain that linked us had snapped. Everything that had given me stability before seemed to break in this moment.

Maybe I'd hoped for Namjoon to not let go of me until the end of the fight. Maybe he'd yell at me and tell me to shut up. Maybe i hoped he'd give me a scolding.

I had hoped he'd treat me like his actual brother or someone too precious to give up. I guess not.

I couldn't help but smirk.
"What is all this fuss about being together? What are we to each other?" I spat out.

"We're all alone in the end."

After that, Seokjin punched me.
