Jin, looking extra with those weird oval-shaped sunglasses, is getting his car out of the garage, me and joon waiting for him. The car isn't expensive like the rest of them. Did he buy it with his own money?!

He finally manages to get the car out without scratching it, rolling the window down. "get in bitches!"

I gasp and look at joon who thankfully is looking longingly at the playground, not paying attention to us. I open the door, pushing him gently towards it. he finally notices me and gets in the backseat with a pout. I put his seatbelt on, smiling at him. "we'll play when we come back ok?" his pout fades just a little and he nods.

I sit beside jin, putting my seatbelt on. "are sure this is a good idea to go to the company? If anyone recognizes us it's gonna be hard for hobi."

He scoffs and takes off his sunglasses, riding out of the gates. "hobi said to go there himself. He's not into the idea of coming here right now and meeting outside is actually worse. he barely goes home these days." He's serious saying the last sentence. "is he that busy?" I feel guilty for adding to his burden now.

He shrugs. "not really but people still don't trust him and he's trying to fit in and that takes a lot of energy with those fucks."

I yell. "jin please!"

Joon learns the word instantly with his strong curse word radars, laughing and repeating. "fuck! Fuck! Fuck fuck fuck!"

I turn around, looking at him sternly. "say that word again and you're gonna be in big trouble." He instantly pouts again and looks out the window, his eyes a little glossy. I sigh and feel the familiar poundings of a headache in my head.

Jin looks apologetically at me. "sorry...it's just I can't help getting angry. Hobi works so hard and he doesn't deserve this shi...this."

I look at the road, seeing the streets in the day for the first time since we came here. "hobi's strong and pretty scary when mad so they're gonna learn to respect him sooner or later." His lips raise in one side. "he is. I never told you this but we got into a fight when we were five and he yelled at me. I got so scared I wet myself a little." I can't help but burst into laughter, him laughing his weird laugh with me.

I sneakily look at joon, seeing him asleep with a frown on his little face. Locks of his dark brown hair are stuck to his forehead in sweat. "can you turn the AC on? I think he's a little hot." Jin looks at him in the mirror while doing what I asked. "he's whingey today." I nod. "I think he just misses our old life." I try not to think about taehyung and what happened a month ago. "tell me about yourself. Did you finish university?"

He huffs. "no...I actually got kicked out of my law major and I've been struggling with my business degree for years too. The only reason they haven't kicked me out from this one too is the money dad gives them."

He seems sad, gripping the steering wheel harder than necessary. I put my hand on his shoulder, trying to console him a bit. "it's ok. You're not doing anything wrong. You never liked these things and they forced you anyway. You don't have to force yourself just follow what you like..."

He smiles bitterly. "I know I just feel like I'm abandoning hobi at times though I know he likes this line of work...what I actually like is...don't laugh ok? I wanna be...I wanna be a chef." I smile widely. "why would I laugh?! It's great! Have you done anything to get a job?" he shrugs, feeling relieved by my reaction. "it's hard when I don't even have one certificate in cooking but I've been sneaking out to work in a little diner downtown. It's not big and the quality of it all isn't good but people go there a lot and the pay isn't bad and I do what I like..."

He's nervous and his ranting is evidence. "relax jin. I think it's great and you gotta start from somewhere. If you're happy doing what you're doing, I think you should go on."

He shows me his unique and rare cute smile and his tiny dimples. "thanks chim...I feel good talking to you about this...I don't really have anyone I could talk to these days." I frown. "what about hobi? Maybe Yoongi?" he parks the car and shut off the engine. "hobi's going through enough and Yoongi is not exactly someone who can make you feel better about yourself in case you haven't noticed."

I chuckle. "yeah I know. he was better before...though he always has been short-tempered." He looks at me with narrow eyes. "and I wonder why?" I gulp. Jin hasn't really mentioned this in these two days but it seems like the silence is over. " jin...you don't know everything about what happened..." he cuts me off mid-sentence with a stern look. "then tell me."

I turn around and look at joon. "maybe when we go back and he's playing in the yard."

I need to tell them. I want to tell them. Joon's father is no longer in danger and Yoongi has had enough because of us. I shouldn't have let him take the blame in the first place but I was young and scared and it seemed like the best way to me. Leaving Yoongi with all the trouble and run away. I owe him joon's life...who knows what they would've done if they didn't think he's joon father.

His eyes soften. "yeah it's better that way. let's go."

He gets out but not before putting on his iconic sunglasses. Before I have a chance to get joon, he picks him up and closes the door. I rush to him. "he's gonna drool all over you." He scoffs and walks ahead without answering me. I go after him and squint my eyes at the strong sunlight. I should've put suncream on joon.

I look at the huge building and my mouth almost drops open. Before I went away, I never had permission to leave the house unless it was necessary, like me dying, and I wasn't to come near the family business-related buildings in case anyone would be reminded of the disgrace I was to the family. As a result, I never knew that the business was this big. I would've felt sorry for ruining it if they at least tried to treat me well.

Jin went through the big automatic glass doors and I hurried after him, a little intimidated by the 2-meters tall security guy glaring at me. Jin went straight to the information desk in the big hall full of people running around. "good afternoon. We're here to see hobi."

The woman looks at him dumb-founded and stutters when jin takes his sunglasses off and winks at her. "hello! If you could be more specific maybe I can help you."

Jin leans on the tall front of the desk, although it's hard with joon in his arms, the poor woman needing to look up. "my baby bro? hoseokie?"

She squints at him suspiciously. "you mean executive assistant to the CEO Park Hoseok?!" jin smiles broadly. "yeah that's the guy with the long name you just said." I chuckle at his behavior. she frowns and takes her phone, pressing some numbers. "your name sir?" jin puts his sunglasses back on. "Park Seokjin." She pales and stands up instantly, bowing down at him. "I'm so sorry! I didn't know! please come with me!" jin smiles sweetly at her but I know this was his intention all along. Sadistic bastard!

She goes in the direction of the elevators. "may I ask who's accompanying you? Mr. park has ordered to verify everyone's identity before we let them go to higher floors." Jin pulls his lips to the side, unamused. "Park Jimin and his son." She pushes the button and looks at me curiously. "is he a relative..." I'm tired of being spoken of like I'm not here so I cut her off, rather rudely. "I'm park kwang's grandson." She seems really confused for a second but then her eyes widens. "the...the femiculus grandson?"

I chuckle bitterly and before I have any chance to say something, jin sternly looks at her, making her look down in shame for what she blurted out without thought. "you will address him as sir too and respect him." It seems like she's regretting it now but jin draws the line at family. He enters the elevator's open doors and I follow him in silence. Before the door closes, she opens her mouth to say something but jin cut him off coldly. "you've said enough for one day."

I take joon from him as door closes. I don't like the way she stared at him. "so that's how everyone knows me...the freak of the family."
