Author's POV

"E-eomma..?", Taehyung revealed himself from behind the door, completely shooked.
Mrs Kim turned around and sighed.
"You heard it?", She asked her beloved.
Taehyung stayed silent, just starred at her mother, trying to read her expressions.
She took his hand and made Taehyung sat down next to her and in front of Jimin and Hoseok.
The two watched the scene without interfering.
Taehyung's mother took a deep breath and put her hand on Taehyung's.
"It's true. Kim Jaejoon is not your biological father", She spoke.
"H-how?", He stuttered.
Mrs Kim glanced at him and at the two boys before speaking.
"... it all started when we were in high school. Jaejoon , Tae min and I used to be close friends. We were inseparable. We used to rebel together and have fun together. And as the time passed by, Taemin and I started liking each other. When the high school was about end, We started dating but Jaejoon was against it, he went berserk on Taemin claiming that he liked me first. The last few days were pretty messy. But as soon as High school ended, Taemin and I went to Daegu, Taemin's home town, and lived there together. Thankfully, my parents were in the favour of us and after three years we got happily married with Jaejoon out of our lives. Taemin had completed his Law studies and we were stable enough to start our family. An year later, i got pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy, Kim Seokjin.
An year after than another little family member got added, Kim Namjoon. Things were so smooth until we started to get threat notes saying they had found where we were and that they're going to claim me soon. It started after Namjoon had turned six months old. We did each and everything to protect our family but since Taemin was a popular lawyer, it was hard to keep our identity hidden. An other six months passes by with fear of threats. When one day, my sister came to visit me and took Seokjin and Namjoon with her because i had just found out that... i was pregnant with Taehyung. The threats and the pregnancy was too depressing for me, so she took the babies for a few days. But later that day, while waiting for Taemin, it finally happened. Jaejoon showed up and abducted me. He set the house on fire and framed Taemin. All i know is that he was in prison for burning his wife with the house. Ever since then, I don't know what happened to him and my sister flew to US with Seokjin and Namjoon to keep them safe and raise them well. Sadly, Taehyung got stuck in this mess.", Mrs Kim let it all out as her tears leaked. Taehyung was on verge of breaking down too but he composed himself while Hoseok and Jimin didn't know how to react.
"Why? *Taehyung whispered* why didn't you tell me before?!! Do you know how much i have hated myself for being his child!??", Taehyung raised his voice, sentence by sentence.
"You even lied that Seokjin hyung and Namjoon hyung are my cousins!!!", He scoffed in disbelief.
"I... i wanted to! I wanted to tell you everything but... Jaejoon threatened me that if i told you then he'd hurt you", His mother cried. Taehyung clenched his jaw and fist at the mention of his fake father.
"Do they know?", Taehyung asked about his brothers, to which His mother nodded a yes. He gulped thinking, all this time they knew but he didn't.
"Why... us?", Jimin spoke up, turning the attention to himself.
"Why did you reveal it to us?", Jimin asked again.
"Because i have seen Taehyung been torn due to the fact that you despise him. Just because he's Jaejoon's son. Taehyung is just like his biological father. He'd always blame himself if something goes wrong and would fight for the right", Mrs Kim answered.
Taehyung brushed his hand against his face and took a deep breath.
"Hyung!", Taehyung regarded to Hoseok who had been quite all this time.
Hoseok looked him in the eyes as Taehyung continued.
"Can you trust me now?", Taehyung questioned.
Everyone was confused to his sudden question.
"Wae?", Hoseok asked back.
"Right now, i am the only one you can count on", Taehyung explained.
Hoseok tilted his head, thinking about many perspectives behind Taehyung's words. He knew what Taehyung said is right, he had to trust either to get them out of here or keep Minna and Anna safe. Either way it's only Him they can count on.
He looked Taehyung dead in the eye, trying to figure out any bad intuition. But he could only see the determination and purity.
Hoseok took a deep breath and nodded.
"You're actually the only one we can count on to. So you better think about your moves. It's gonna be only danger and trouble", Hoseok told him.
Taehyung let out a sigh of relief and glanced at Jimin who seemed busy with his thoughts.
"And Jimin-ssi, Jeongmal Mianhae", He apologised while looking at him.
Jimin's eyes met Taehyung's as Jimin sighed and nodded but didn't say anything.
The gesture made Taehyung and his mother smile slightly.

*Next day*
*At University*

Minna's POV
It was lunch break and i told Jungkook, Anna and Bomin that I won't be able to join them and thank fully they agreed.
I sat at the rooftop and rested my head against the wall, closing my eyes.
"Gwenchanah?", I heard a familiar voice.
I opened my eyes and located it's owner.
It was Taehyung.
I was surprised that he's actually taking me.
"Y-yeah... why?", i asked.
He just shrugged and sat next to me.
"Minna-yah...", He called my name, making me look at him.
"Hmm?"
He put out his hand in front of me, i looked at him in confusion but he motion me to take his hand.
Still confused, i put my hand in his as he intertwined our fingers, completely startling me.
"I'll help you", He spoke.
"Huh!?"
Our eyes met and we turned our bodies to gave each other.
"I know you're after Kim Jaejoon. I kind of overheard you guys. And i'll help you. I'll protect you", He retorted.
My heartbeat accelerated.
This doesn't make sense! How could he? I mean it his freaking father he's talking about!!
"I... wae?," I didn't know what to say.
"Because i want to destroy him as bad as you want to", He spoke.
Is he drunk? Does he know what he is saying?!!
Upon seeing my silent self, Taehyung continued, "Kim Jaejoon... is my step father", He said it out.
"What?!!", I got shocked by the word 'step father'
"Yeah... that jerk destroyed my family and all this time I didn't even know he's not my family...", he further explained how his family got ruined, how his mother went through all those horrible events, how he stuck in this mess, How he got separated from his brothers.
I gasped as i heard his past. He didn't even know yet his family went through so much because of that one monster!
A tear leaked from Taehyung's eyes, it ached my heart so much to see him like that.
"So... i'll end him instead. While you... stay away from this mess", He spoke as our eyes met, his gaze was firm.
"You know I won't", I disagreed.
"You have to!", He pressed as his breath uneven. His voice was intensifying the whole situation.
"Why should i?!! How can you expect me to back out on this?!", I argued.
"This world is not where you should interfere!", He argued back.
"What if i want to?", I persisted.
"You won't have a happy ending. Life will be more hard on you", he sighed.
"It's still hard on me. And after what happened, I don't even know if i should really go after a happy ending", I gave him a slight smile, that showed all the pain in it.
He gulped before saying, "don't you trust me?"
"I do trust you. With everything in me. But I don't trust fate. I don't trust the others. How can you tell me to leave you alone in this?", i could see my words effecting him. His teary eyes giving it all away.
I could read him like an open book.
"It's going to ruin you!!", His voice was yet stern.
"I am ready to get ruined then..", I spoke while looking at him dead in the eyes.
He gulped and closed his eyes for a few seconds while sighing.
This moment, both of us were very vulnerable at the moment.
But may be just may be he was more broken than me. All i know is about his family but i still don't know everything that he might have went through.
He must have wished he wasn't born this way. He must have blamed every second of his life.
He have went through alot.
Subconsciously, i felt myself leaning forward and pulling him into hug.
His scent intoxicating my breath. The warmth i felt at the moment was so pleasing.
"So... let's do it together, hmm?", my voice coming out soft.
We stayed like this for a while as he hugged me back tighter. As if he was afraid i might disappear. But didn't say anything.
A few minutes later, we parted a now he seemed back to normal.
He took a deep breath and gave me slight nod.
"I hope you know what you're signing up for", he spoke.
But i only gave him a forced smile. And soon his expressions changed into something suspicious.
"Um... What do you plan on doing now?", i asked, trying to change the topic, narrowing my eyes at him.
He smirked before he continued,

"I am planning on starting with a date now"
