Deceiving (Jinkook)

Love is a strong word

"Hoseok! Why would you do that!?" Mom yells at my brother when he "accidentally" pushes me to the ground.

"It was an accident mom! He's fine!" He yells I know he's angry and that means he'll probably be mean to me once mom leaves.

"It had better been an accident Hoseok! Your brother is younger than you you're supposed to be protecting him not hurting him!" I know my mom is angry I can hear it in her sharp voice and see it on her face as I stand up and dust myself off.

"He's not my brother! My only brother is Namjoon!" I know my tears are about to spill I hate that he doesn't feel anything towards me.

"Kim Hoseok!" My mom yells as she comes near us on the yard

"Jung! It's Jung Hoseok mom! I don't know why you agreed for that man to change our names!" Hoseok yells his face becoming extremely red, my dad has always given love to both Hoseok and Namjoon like they're his own children, Hoseok shouldn't be disrespectful towards him.

I see mom taking stronger steps toward Hoseok and I know she's gonna hit him for disrespecting dad so I run towards her and embrace her in a hug.

"Oh my Seokjinnie" mom hugs me and kisses my head. I feel the anger leaving her body as I hear Hoseok huff in annoyance and I see him walk back into the house. He's probably going to lock himself in his room.

"I'm sorry mama, I'll be more careful when playing with hyung" I tell her and she hugs me tighter

"You're an angel Seokjinnie, I love you so much!"

"I love you too"

Mom has always taken care of me, has always made me feel loved , has treated me like her own even though she's my stepmom.

Dad married her when I was 5years old. I remember her always being sweet. After their marriage she came to live with us with her two sons Namjoon who was 10 and Hoseok who was 7. It's been 4 years since then and Hoseok still doesn't like me. Namjoon is nice, he helps me with my homework and let's me read some of his books. He's older so he doesn't spend too much time with me, he's a teenager he prefers to spend time with his friends.

Hoseok dislikes me, sometimes I think he even hates me. I'm staring to believe he's right and I'm just too annoying for him.

I always wanted sibling, wanted a big happy family but I just feel like everything I wanted vanished when I saw Hoseok's face when he arrived at the house.

He liked my room and mom refused to allow me to switch with him, I wouldn't have minded to give my room up for my brother.

He on the other hand wouldn't be caught dead calling me "brother" whenever he hears anyone call me his brother he's quick to correct them and add the "step" to the name sometimes he doesn't even do that and pretends to not know who I am.

We grew up with a one sided rivalry. One sided because no matter how many times Hoseok denied me his love and friendship, I still viewed him as my brother.

Now at 21 years old I feel like my home is still a battle field. Maybe that's the reason Namjoon moved out and now has his own apartment. Hoseok always made him choose sides and the moment he chose to move out was the first time he probably chose himself.

We eat breakfast quietly and Hoseok seems to be in a hurry and in a bad mood.

"You're first say at the office is today after your last lesson are you nervous?" Mom asks to break the silence

"What?" Hoseok shouts

"Hoseok please don't yell the the table" mom tried to calm him down by putting a hand on his shoulder.

"It's just an internship at the company Hoseok"  I try to reason so he doesn't blow this out of proportion

"What about me? I was never offered an internship at the company!?" He yells again

"Seokjin wasn't offered an internship, he asked for one" Mom tells a very angry Hoseok

"This is bullshit!" He yells and tries to stand up but mom forces him down to his seat

"If you would've graduated two years ago like you where supposed to, you would've had a job at the company already!" Mom yells back and this time she isn't able to stop Hoseok as he storms out of the manor.

"I'm sorry for his out burst, I have to take my leave. I'm meeting your father at the office" mom tells me as she makes her way to me leaving a soft kiss on my forehead.

I sigh looking at the empty table. Maybe I should move out too.

As I make my way out of my final lesson I turn my phone back on and check the multiple notifications coming in.

Without any hesitation I call mom back.

"Mom?" I ask as soon as she picks up

"Seokjin, it's Taehyung. You need to come to my hospital as soon as possible"

"Tae whats wrong!?"

"Just hurry Seokjin"

When I arrive at the hospital, one of my fathers bodyguards guides me to a floor.

When the elevator door opens I see mom crying her heart out and being held by Namjoon. Taehyung is in his lab coat with his hand on Namjoons shoulder.

"Where's my dad!?" I yell catching they're attention

Mom rushes to me and hugs me as she whispers multiple sorry's.

"Jin, I'm so sorry to inform you that your father has passed away, he had a heart attack" Taehyung tries to sound as professional as possible but I see the tears in his eyes.

"No! No! It's not true!" I say as I break down into tears.

"I'm sorry sweetie" mom caresses my face and tries to dry my tears

"Nothing from Hoseok?" I hear Taehyung ask Namjoon

Why isn't Hoseok here? My father was a parent to them for so many years! Why can't he at least be here for mom?

I guess there was more hatred for me from Hoseok than I imagined.
