---- Jin's P.O.V ----

 I can't believe these two. Sneaking up on me like that? How dare!? 

The two continued to laugh, making fun of me. Boy, they sure did take their time laughing. The shorter of the two finally calmed down after laughing for straight 5 minutes.

"Yah hyung, you should've seen your face earlier, you looked like you've seen a ghost! Haha!" Jimin laughed.

"Yeah hyung. Why were you following Taehyung anyways? I mean Taehyungie-hyung." Jungkook added.

"Ok look, first of all," I started and quickly gave them a hit on the back of their heads. "You shouldn't have snuck up on me like that. It almost gave me a heart-attack! Second of all, I wasn't following hi-... well fine I was. Only because I wanted to make sure he gets home safe ok? And last but not the least, were you spying on me?" I yelled at them.

Jungkook and Jimin had an 'o' expression on their faces. "Well you cleared your way out of that one rather... smooth, hyung. And yes, we were sort of. It's because me and Jungkook were worried about Taehyung as well. We just happen to see you here too." Jimin protested as he scratched his head.

"He's been acting... weird lately. You know how he talks about souls and all that weird related stuff? It's leaving us goosebumps. We decided we'd check up on him everyday just to make sure he's... fine, and we started today." Jungkook added, scratching his head as well.

"Hmm... that is weird. I thought I was the only one who noticed that. But then again all of us have high IQs so I'm not that surprise. But, did you two see what happened there earlier?" I questioned.

"You mean the scene where Taehyung hit that man out cold? Yeah we did. I'm guessing that man was his father. And the woman that was lying on the floor was his mother. My theory is that his father got drunk, hitted his mother with the bottle and Taehyung came and stopped him from doing more of the hitting." Jimin stared at the ground while he held his chin.

"That would make sense. Poor Taehyungie-hyung, he came home just to see his mother all beaten up by her husband. We should probably offer hyung a hand because his mother doesn't look... all too well." Jungkook said, biting on his nails as he spoke.

"Kookie-ah don't do that! You'll ruin your beautiful nails." Jimin says as he stopped Jungkook from biting his nails.

"I know that, Jungkookie but if we interfere, he'd question us as to why were here. He'd realize that were following him and he'll probably feel awkward about it." I said.

"Ah Jimin-ssi I can't. You know it's one of my hobbies. Anyway Jin-hyung, I get your point. But his mother-... Are we just going to stand here and do nothing?" Jungkook says, almost in a panic tone.

"Unfortunately... Yes. We'd find a way to help him stop his father from hurting him and his mother. But right now, we can't help with his situation. We should probably just go home. Think of a plan to start our mission and comfort Taehyung. Boys, can I trust you to keep this to yourselves? I don't want Taehyung to feel... uneasy whenever he's with us." I said softly.

"Yeah, yeah hyung we- we can. I'm just-... worried about him. He seems nice and to be honest, I started to feel this weird feeling towards him. The feeling like I've known him for 18 years. My whole life! That's why I want to protect him, protect him from this world, the bad things, his dad." Jimin says, tears formulating and clouding his eyes.

"Same here. He has this weird, warm and interesting aura in and around him. It's unexplainable but I guess me and Jimin hyung shares the same feeling for him." Jungkook looks at Jimin.

"I-I mean not-... not in a weird way. I- I mean we just- he just-," Jungkook stutters.

I gave him a questioning look. "Uhuh... Sure Jungkook-ah. I totally believe your reasoning. Just make sure you don't do that in public. You gotta keep it private alright?" I teased him.

Jimin blushed and started to hit my shoulder. "Hyung! Don't put nasty things in Jungkook's pure mind. He needs to stay innocent ok?" He said, landing his 10th hit.

"What do you mean with "That" Hyung?" Jungkook asks cocking his head, looking all confused.

"Yah! Jimin-ah that hurts. And I was just kidding ok? Don't mind what I said Jungkookie. You don't need to know." I said trying to ease the pain on my shoulder.

Jungkook looked at Jimin, seeming to beg Jimin to tell him what I mean with his doe eyes.

Jimin stopped hitting me, as he turned to Jungkook, patting his head, making his coconut hair messy. "Jungkook-ssi, it's nothing. Just pretend like you didn't hear him say that? Please Jungkookie?" Jimin held Jungkook's hands.

"Y-yeah fine. Just don't say anything like that again because it's messing with my head. I'm only letting this one slide because Jiminie gave me that puppy eyes." Jungkook smiled at Jimin.

"Yah! You listen to him but you don't even listen to me? I'm the one who raised you since the day you came to Seoul from Busan you rascal! Why treat me differently huh?" I asked, lightly hitting Jungkook.

"Look hyung, I'm still grateful for what you did even though I was the one who seemed like the hyung between us two. And I do listen to you ok? I listen to you all. You're my hyungs after-all." Jungkook smiled, revealing his bunny-like teeth.

"Aish! Come here you big bunny." I said as I hugged the two of them. "Let's go home huh? We'll think of something for Taehyung later on ok?"

Both of them nodded as we headed to the location of my car. I quickly looked back to spare Taehyung's house a glance and followed right after them.

As the three got inside the car, there was a pair of eyes looking at their direction.

Trust is hard to give but it's harder to gain.
