Step Brother

61• She Is My World

*Taehyung POV*

Walking into Jungkook's room he was sitting on his balcony, elbows resting on his knees, hoodie on, and hair a mess. His headphones were in, but he never listens with them too loud. He can hear me if I speak to him. "You gonna talk about it?" I sighed sliding a chair in front of his.

His eyes only scanned me for a moment as I looked away at the cityscape.

It was quiet for a while.

"Hyung." he barely uttered.

"Hm?" I calmly turned back to him.

"How do you do it?"

"Do what?" I questioned not grasping what he was trying to get out of me.

"How do you manage being hated by her. She forced me to leave her room. It was an accident. Now she won't even glance at me and is drinking. Drinking a lot. How do you let her do this? How do you handle her hating you?"

I considered the question for a moment before the 'It was an accident.' part stuck out to me. "What was an accident?" his eyes got wide and the Adams apple in his throat bobbed with a gulp.

"Nothing happened. I don't even know why I said that." He differed.

He was lying and I knew he was. Being friends as long as we have I never thought I'd see a day where he actually lied to me. "Jungkook."

"What?" he continued to stare at his hands which fiddled with his hoodie sleeve.

"Stop."

"Stop what?" he glanced up doe eyed.

"The bullshit. Why is she upset because of you?" I had to slow my seeping anger. Seeing her upset like this was bad enough, but my best friend causing it makes this more concerning.

"It's nothing Taehyung, get off my dick." Jungkook stood from his chair to walk back inside. As the sliding glass door began to open I shoved it back closed from behind him. My arm slightly holding him in place from leaving my question. "Just go to bed. I need to take a shower."

"If I find out you did anything to hurt her Jeon, I swear I will sock you in your nose the same way you did mine. It's bad enough you're lying to my face over it instead of being a grown man and owning up to whatever you did." Jungkook instantly yanked my arm from the door and walked inside.

"Why even bother caring about her Taehyung? All you do is hurt her worse than I could ever imagine doing. She hates you. Get over it." He pulled his hoodie over his head throwing it onto the bed before turning to me again arms crossed. "Unlike both of you I handle my issues sober. Maybe your parents are meant to be together if they raised you the same." he scoffed jokingly.

"Why bother? Are you serious? Why bother?" I repeated my voice elevating slightly with anger, "I bother because I care. I bother because it's my job. I bother because-"

"Because she's pretty? Because she's Innocent? Young? Because she's exactly like my fucking sister?!" My best friend screamed eyes glassing over with a new emotion, "Yeah don't think I never noticed you asshole. Lisa hated you at one point too. Remember that as clear as their death? Trying to make up for lost memories you never got to have with her because of me? Because of Jennie? Was Jennie never enough for you? She loved you so much and you could never even give it all back to her then either." With every word he spoke it was wrong. None of it was right.

She's nothing like Lisa.

Not even close.

Not like Jennie either.

Y/n is Y/n and that's why I fell for her.

"No-" I choked at the thought of his sister and I. How happy we all once were. The things that almost happened between Lisa and I were never comparable to what Jennie and I actually did.

"Then what is it Taehyung? What is she? Your dick warmer? Your fling till you find something better? Your-"

"My world." My yell seeming to startle him. "She's my fucking world Jungkook why can't you understand that?!"

"You're ridiculous." he spat back walking to his bathroom slamming the door.

"You're my world y/n."

*Y/n*

"Morning.." I mumbled to everyone in the lobby of the hotel before feeling arms engulf my small frame from behind.

"You alright?" Hoseok asked nuzzling his nose into my neck while no one was looking placing a small kiss where my shoulder and neck met. I lightly pushed at his arms to get free before walking away.

I'm not in the mood for this today.

We all piled into this large greyhound like bus and I went straight to the last row by myself.

Who comes to sit next to me?..

"This seat taken?" Seokjin asked sitting down before I could even answer.

"Sure, guess not." I groaned turning to the window completely, but a hand landed on my knee.

"I'm not mad Y/n."

"You totally didn't seem that way last night." I said sarcastically shifting some in my seat. "I was sober enough to notice that much."

"Hey look at me." he whispered softly as if I was hurting him. The moment I did he leaned in kissing my forehead lightly. "I completely overreacted. You startled me last night. I'm not used to any girls making moves on me. I'm sorry."

I was caught off guard that he was apologizing. I'm always the one who has to do that, "No I'm sorry Jin. I was drunk and out of line. I should have respected you more. I completely understand why you'd never want that to happen with the age difference and all." Something in my chest fluttered at the smile he gave me before pulling me into his side cuddle like.

"We both messed up. It's okay. Let's forget about it and enjoy the ride." he kissed my head again as the bus began to move.

I fell asleep not long after that. My head rested on his chest draping my arms around his thin waist with his arms around me snug. He played music in his headphones and I could hear his faint hums lulling me to sleep through his chest.

"Wake up." he chuckled lightly and my eyes adjusted to the now sunset scenery in front of me. "We're here. Sleep good?" his large hand brushed the hair out of my face sweetly. I enjoyed the gesture until I saw three pairs of eyes watching intensely and I got a bit nervous.

"Yeah thanks Jin, sorry I drooled." I grabbed my bags and shifted down the isle where the three eyes followed. Something was off with Jungkook, Taehyung, and Seungho. They had a similar look of hurt mixed with a spark of lust. It's scary to be looked at in that way given what's happened recently. I'd rather steer clear of everyone than get involved into something I'm not ready for.
