CHAPTER 43: IDWBILWY

My brothers went home after that night. Namjoon and Seokjin went straight to my room to apologize for not answering my calls last night. I didn't want to hear their whining that early in the morning so I forgave them right away.

I stayed inside my room for the rest of the morning and afternoon, only going out for meals and taking a bath. I felt uninterested with doing anything, and I'm pretty sure my family understood my actions. Knowing them, they'll be in my room after dinner to ask me what's up.

And I wasn't wrong.

A few minutes after we ate dinner, Seokjin and Namjoon went inside my room; the oldest sat on my bed while Joon kept standing, his arms over his chest.

"What happened during that dinner?" Namjoon asked.

"I met Mrs. Kim and her oldest son, Minhyuk." I answered.

"Minhyuk?" Namjoon repeated, "Lee Minhyuk? That friend of yours?" I nodded.

"That Minhyuk who helped Joon and Jackson?" Seokjin asked, then turned to me. "Daebak! It's really a small world out there."

Namjoon shook his head and sat down beside him. "Then? Tell us what happened last night when you were with them."

I sighed defeatedly. I guess I should tell them, they're my brothers for a reason. They'll help me get over this. "Taehyung said he loves me."

My brothers exclaimed, looking all happy and even high fived. I just stared at them, realizing that they knew Taehyung likes me all along. Imean, I should have realized it sooner. They kept on telling me to focus on academics first whenever I get all clingy with Taehyung back then. However, with my silence, the two boys realized something too.

"Then why are you sad?!" Seokjin asked.

"No!" Namjoon's eyes widened. "Doesn't he have a girlfriend? So Hyun?"

Beside him, Seokjin groaned. "Right. Taehyung can really be stupid sometimes." He looked at me. "Did he say he'll break up with her?"

"He said he couldn't."

"What?" Both of them said. "That's it, I'm talking to that guy now." Namjoon stood up, his fists clenched.

"Bro, calm down." Seokjin pulled Namjoon back down on my bed. "Listen to what Jisoo says."

"Huh?" I asked.

"What did you tell him after he confessed?" Seokjin asked me.

"We'll just stay friends?" I replied, though it came out more of a question than a statement.

"Jisoo!" Namjoon exclaimed again. "That's not how it works!"

Seokjin angrily turned to Namjoon. "Taehyung telling her I Love You while in another relationship doesn't work either. Don't yell at our sister."

"Can I ask something?" I said, getting their attention.

"Of course/Yes" they said.

"Why did he court So Hyun?" I asked. It was bothering me since I walked out of my conversation with Taehyung last night. It was something I forgot to ask, and my pride didn't let me turn around to ask him that.

"Jimin happened." Namjoon rolled his eyes. "He slipped Taehyung's letter in the wrong locker."

"Yours is the one above, right?" Seokjin asked, and I nodded. "He slipped the paper under so So Hyun got the letter."

"He could've said that So Hyun misunderstood." Namjoon said. "He could've ended the relationship after that day to save himself but nooo, he's too weak to hurt someone."
