I'm Their Little Sister[BTS 8th member]

F O R T Y - O N E

The door slowly opened before Mrs Zheng appeared.She looked exactly like how JaeSung remembered her.Her graying her was in a bun and she had an apron around her waist.

"JaeSung."Her tone was surprised and JaeSung had to shove down the hurt feeling when she saw the look of disappointment in the older woman's eyes.

"Mrs Zheng."JaeSung responded back,her voice slightly wavering.She cleared her throat and forced a smile.

"Can I come in?I was hoping we could talk."She looked nervous but nodded,stepping inside so they could enter.

JaeSung looked around the house she basically grew up in.The hole in the hallway was patched up and all the scribbles Jun Hui and her had done were covered by new paint.

She followed Mrs Zheng into the dining room where Mr Zheng was sitting at the table.

"Sit down."Mrs Zheng said as she pulled out a chair for her.JaeSung smiled and nodded,sitting down and placing the box down in front of her.

Max and Sung Hoon stood behind her,a hand on her shoulder as she faced the couple who raised her.

"I-um,I want to thank you for raising me all these years."JaeSung said,clearing her throat."I'm not sure what made you guys want to end my life,but I apologize for whatever I did that led you to that choice."

"Thank you for being my parents when mine didn't want me,even if it was all a lie.I don't think you guys understand how important your presence was to me as I grew up."JaeSung wiped away a tear that had made its way down her face.

She stood up,"I really don't want to listen to the reason why you did what you did because it will only hurt me more,and I don't know how much my mental state can handle."

She slid the small jewelry box towards Mrs Zheng who let out a shuddering breath as the jewelry she had gifted JaeSung stared up at her.

"These were yours to keep."Mrs Zheng said in a soft voice and JaeSung choked back a sob,turning away from them for a moment.

"I don't think I want to wear something that you gave me now that I know you're real intent,"JaeSung explained,tears running down her face.

"I appreciate and loved you like if you were really my parents and sometimes I dreamt that I was your daughter,but it seems that it was one-sided."JaeSung took a step back from the table and Sung Hoon wrapped an arm around her.

"You always were our daughter."Mr Zheng started but JaeSung shook her head.

"No,please don't."JaeSung begged,looking at them."I wish you a safe and healthy life,Mr and Mrs Zheng.Thank you for everything."

She bowed deeply,her tears falling onto the tiled floor.She stood up straight and turned around,quickly leaving.

She stumbled down the steps and quickly crossed the street.She leaned against the car as a sob racked her body.

Sung Hoon was quick to unlock the car and slid in.Max basically threw himself in when Sung Hoon pulled away from the curb.

The Zheng couple looked at the box that JaeSung had left and Mr Zheng had taken it upon himself to open up the box.He let out a gasp as he gingerly picked up the letter JaeSung had quickly written and his heart clenched painfully when he noticed the tear stains.

"Look at what you did!"Mr Zheng shouted at his wife."Look at what your jealousy and greed did!"

He grabbed the box and threw it,the money flying out.

"JaeSung was my daughter,I love her more than this world,and once again,you took something that took attention off of you from me."Mr Zheng sighed as he bent down and collected the money again,placing it back into the box.

"Let's get a divorce."Was all he said before leaving the house,the box of money under his arm and the note held tightly in his other hand.

JaeSung slept the whole way back.Her body giving out from all the crying she did.

Sung Hoon played some soft music while Max muttered to himself.

Instead of heading back to their apartment,they went to Lena's.She had sent Sung Hoon a message saying that Jun Hui still hasn't left his room but he's eaten and showered.

When they pulled up to the apartment complex,Lena was outside on the phone.

"Is she...angry?"Max asked.Lena was a lot better at holding in her anger,but it was terrifying when she lost it and sometimes the anger lasted a while before she came to ask for forgiveness.

When JaeSung left to start training,Lena was livid.She ignored JaeSung for almost two months and when JaeSung came by for a few days,she melted in JaeSung's arms.

The two watched wide eyed as Lena spewed vulgar words that would've made JaeSung cringe,and JaeSung was the heavy curser of the group.

Before they knew it,Lena tossed the phone to the ground and Sung Hoon put the car into drive.

"Let's get something to eat first."Sung Hoon said,pulling away from the curb.

"Good idea."Max replied,pulling his phone out to send Alex a message.

They came back after thirty minutes with a bunch of things to make BBQ.

JaeSung was awake but she was completely lost in her thoughts as they drove back to the apartment.They got off and she helped carry the things up to the apartment.She could hear Sunni's loud laugh and Alex's panicked shouted before a crash sounded and Sunni's loud cry pierced the air.

"I bet you twenty buck she jumped off the table again."Max said as he unlocked the door.Sung Hoon huffed,rolling his eyes as he nudged his sister in through the door.

"You already got thirty bucks from me today.I'm not betting with you anymore."Sung Hoon responded as he nodded at Alex who was wiping away the tears from Sunni's chubby face.

"You're no fun."Max huffed and Sung Hoon gave him a look.Max flushed as he quickly looked away.While Sung Hoon was a generally shy person but he would become bold when he wanted to and it was just his luck that Sung Hoon was a pretty good flirter.

JaeSung walked right past them and quickly entered Jun Hui's room.Alex sighed,setting his sister down and looking down the hall,a worried look crossing his face.He knew that everything JaeSung knew was slowly crashing down and the people she held close to her had quickly betrayed her.JaeSung trusted a small amount of people outside of the Daejeon gang and the BTS members.Her trust circle was small and once you betrayed that trust,JaeSung has no problem cutting you off.

With a final sigh he turned away,knowing that all JaeSung and Jun Hui needed was time.
