Lies Remembered as Truths, Truths Remembered as Lies

"Yoona," Yoongi called to me. I turned around to face my brother. Of course, I knew this would happen. When I turned around, I saw Woozi with my brother as well. We were on the rooftop so that no one could listen in. I'm sure Yoongi already made sure no one was near anyways.

"What?" I asked.

"Why didn't you tell us what happened?" Yoongi asked.

"Well you weren't here, were you?" I asked. "And you two didn't bother telling me that they were back."

Yoongi looked taken aback. Woozi lowered his head, avoiding my glare. 

"You weren't supposed to know," Yoongi said.

"Yeah, I figured," I replied. "How could you?"

"You would only freak out," Yoongi said. "And we were sure we would find them before you had to find out."

"Well, they found me first. It was them yesterday. And you weren't here."

"Yoona-"

"Just...I'm disappointed in you."

"Yoona," Woozi called out to me. I turned to him. "When Yoongi found out, he yelled at your father. Shouted at him saying how your father should be doing more. I know we should have told you before, but don't think for a moment that we didn't think about you."

"I...I just need a little space."

I walked away from the rooftop and down the stairs. Since the internship was over for the day, at least for me, I walked off to wherever.

"Yoona!" 

I turned around and saw Jungkook running up to me with Taehyung behind him.

"What?" I asked as I paused from walking.

"Where are you going?" Jungkook asked me.

"Just. Out. Why?"

"Let us come with you!" Jungkook said. Taehyung seemed surprised that Jungkook suggested this.

"I don't think Taehyung is comfortable," I pointed out.

"No, no, no," Taehyung said. "It's just...I was shocked. But I'd like to go out with you." Taehyung smiled at me.

I looked at Jungkook and Taehyung before sighing. "Fine. Whatever."

Jungkook lit up in a smile. I started walking with Jungkook and Taehyung next to me. Did we get a lot of stares from the surrounding people? Yes. Did I care? No.

"Where to?" Jungkook asked.

"I don't care," I replied. "Just...make me forget."

Jungkook didn't ask any more questions. He grabbed my hand and dragged Taehyung and me along. And I, stupidly, followed him.

"Ah, that was fun," Jungkook said with a smile.

Jungkook had taken Taehyung and me to a variety of places. First shopping, saying that he needed new clothes. But it ended with Taehyung buying me clothes, telling me that my fashion was out of style and old. Then, Taehyung took me to an aquarium where we saw multiple sea organisms. Honestly, it was like I was a child in a normal world. It was what I would have been exposed to if I were born in a different world with civilian parents. What I might have experienced had I not been abandoned when I was a baby. But that was all of the past and there was no point in thinking of that.

"I had fun today," Taehyung agreed. He turned to me with a smile on his face. "What about you, Yoona? How was it today?"

"...It was...nice," I admitted.
