"Can I help you find something?"

A friendly worker had entered my personal space as I stumbled back.

I was shaken out of my thoughts and realised I was hovering around the baby clothes section at the local market.

I flushed red, shook my head once and scuttled off over to Aunt Jeong who had just finished paying for the groceries.

"Do you need anything?" She asked me after placing all the items on the counter.

I shook my head again, "I'll wait for you outside."

Aunt Jeong nodded as I walked outside and inhaled a deep breath of fresh air.

I closed my eyes and regretted everything that had happened last weekend.

I'd been ignoring Taehyung since I found out about the pregnancy and although he could tell something was off, he never had the chance to talk to me about it because his training schedule was getting really hectic these days.

I was even ignoring Jimin and Krystal, I just wanted to be alone so spent most of my time in the library, completing coursework and studying for the special tests I'd have to take which were only around the corner.

I honestly don't know what to do.

I haven't spoken to anyone, but I did write a blog asking for advice about situations like these.

My online viewers commented that a girl in this situation should keep the baby, but then again, they don't really know the reality of it. To them, I'm just an anonymous writer.

"Gaja, let's get these home quickly. Halapoji's on TV in ten minutes!"

I snapped out of my thoughts as I took some shopping bags from Aunt Jeong.

"It's okay, they're only a few," she protested as I shook my head and forced the bags from her.

She smiled, "You are a great daughter."

I grinned at her and a lump formed in my throat when I realised what a 'great' daughter I really was.

We ran through the front lawn, up the grey stone steps as Aunt Jeong joined everyone in the lounge whilst I put the bags in the kitchen.

"Shhh!"

"He's about to speak!"

"Seoeon, Seojun look!"

I stood in the doorway of the lounge and watched the scene on the news; Halapoji was being cheered on by thousands of people in what looked like a political rally.

"Haha look at hyung!" Uncle Jihu laughed as I saw Appa standing behind Halapoji like his security guard.

"My vision is to make South Korea great again! We will be free from corruption of the filthy rich, free from poverty and free from the infiltration of western media which makes our youngsters lose their traditional values!"

Every time Halapoji ended a sentence; he'd get a massive cheer from the crowd.

His right wing party were already the governors and the leading party here in Daegu, and now they wanted to become a national frenzy.

If anyone ever found out that his only granddaughter was going through an underage pregnancy, it would cause such a great scandal which could never be healed.

They would dig up information and find out that Appa did the exact same thing with Mum and I was the product of that.

Everyone would call his party hypocrites and he would be ruined, his honour would be finished.

"Ya Minnie close the door and sit down," Uncle Hwijae waved his hand to me.

"I'm feeling really tired, goodnight everyone," I quietly said as Halmeouni ushered me over for a kiss.

I looked at all of them and smiled before closing the door behind me and trudging down the hallway into my room.

I brushed my teeth, jumped into bed and took out my laptop.

I'd been looking for private abortion clinics as far from inner Daegu as possible, if anyone even saw me entering one, I'd be answerable to a hell load of questions.

By now, even the celebrity based media knew I was Kim Taehyung's girlfriend and long time love of his life.

I not only had my family's image at stake, but I had Taehyung's debut in the palm of my hands.

It was common knowledge that companies produce kpop idols and groups with an innocent, youthful image to kick off their popularity with and if Taehyung had this pregnancy scandal with him already, he might not be able to gain as much success as I would want him to.

I sighed and brushed my hair back, is this really what life had gotten to?

Only last year I won an award for an article I published about why keeping an unborn baby is best for everyone in situations like these, and now I'm researching how abortions are carried out?

I checked the clock and it was nearly 8 pm.

I sighed and closed my laptop before deciding to call it an early night, I had double citizenship first thing tomorrow, and no way would I be able to avoid anyone.

TAEHYUNG'S POV

"Omo – why – is – practice – so – long?"

I was struggling for breath as everyone else was lying on the floor panting.

"This time next year, you won't be complaining. Hurry up and get changed, we have to catch the bus to school!" Namjoon remarked as he threw himself down in a chair and whipped his phone out.

"Anyone wants to shoot some quick hoops?" Jungkook asked all of us as we looked at him in shock.

I honestly don't know where and how Jungkook got all this energy from, we'd just finished a two hour early morning dance practice and now he wanted to take his sweaty self over to play basketball.

Yoongi laughed and went into the corner, making a bed of all our jackets and school uniforms as he closed his eyes and covered his ears.

I stretched up and grabbed my phone from my bag.

All week I've been so busy with practice that I haven't had a chance to speak with Minnie properly and I was getting worried at the short replies she was giving me.

I called her last night, but she told me that some guests were over at her house and she couldn't speak for long.

I took a deep breath in and out.

As much as I know she's probably studying or actually is busy with her family's political business, I can't help but feel as though she's hiding something from me.

Every time I look into her eyes, she looks away or avoids eye contact completely.

I know her so well.

She loves to stare into my eyes and she loves it when I undress her soul, so why was she avoiding me?

Maybe it was her health, aish what kind of a boyfriend am I? Can't even take care of my best friend and lover's health.

I would force her to take medicine if I found out she hadn't gotten it with her Aunt.

Whatever it is, I can't concentrate knowing that she's going through something.

I'll find out what's wrong with my Minnie sooner or later, we can't keep secrets from each other for too long anyway.

"Ah-ah-ouch!" Jimin cried out as Hobie was biting his arm.

I looked up and saw Jimin tickling Hobie's neck, trying to disturb and pick on him as he was resting from practice.

"Biting is not allowed Hobalah!" Jimin yanked his arm free and caught my eye, signalling me to join in disturbing Hobie.

Hoseok hyung was the funniest guy to play around, his happiness and cheerfulness was contagious.

I jumped up and flashed Jimin a wide grin before holding onto the chair Hobie was resting in as Jimin held onto the chair Hobie was resting his legs on.

This game consisted of Hobie being our prisoner that would be tortured if he didn't prove to us how strong and clever he was.

We both started bullying Hobie instantly.

"Who is your master?!" Jimin put on a police officer's voice as Hobie was laughing from the pain of being stretched out on both chairs.

"Hurry up and answer us. What is your crime!" I bellowed, putting on a deeper voice than usual as Hobie winced in pain from Jimin pulling the chair further out.

I couldn't stop chuckling as Hobie was struggling to keep his dignity of being older and thus stronger than us.

"Hey I'm really strong, I won't give in!" He croaked as we started stretching him more.

Jimin let out a high pitched laugh as Hobie couldn't take it anymore.

"Ya pull me back it's getting difficult! Pull me back!"

I caught Jimin's eye and we burst out laughing at Hobie's expense, as he was struggling until he finally fell down on his back.

"Hahahahaa!" Jimin's laugh sounded like a hiccup as we both sprinted off, running away from Hobie who was chasing us like an arrow.

"Omo hahahaha!" I jumped over Namjoon's chair as he didn't look in our direction once; he was so used to us behaving like this.

"Hahaha, where did he go?" Jimin whispered to me as I held on to his shoulder, trying to catch my breath after we successfully ran out of the door.

I shook my head as we peeked in through the door, Hobie was nowhere to be seen.

We were both still acting out our police officer roles as we made guns with our hand, scanning the studio for any sign of our escaped prisoner.

Jimin was hiding behind me, looking into the room as I slowly checked through the door hinge gap.

We let out chokes of silent laughter as I saw Hobie's figure hiding behind the door.

"Ya Hobi-" I tried warning Jimin as Hobie suddenly jumped out from behind the door.

"Aaaaaaah!" We both screamed as Hobie threw his bottle of water at us.

I darted all the way down the hallway as I saw Jimin run into a dead end and was eventually cornered by Hobie.

I was laughing my head off and trying to kick Jimin who had become a traitor and was trying to drag me back to Hobie.

I was laughing so much that Jimin tickled me even more and dragged me by the collar over to Hobie who kicked me hard in the back for causing so much disruption.

We all rolled on the floor squeaking like children who just got candy until I caught sight of Jin hyung storming out of one of the rooms in the hallway.

His eyes were swollen.

My laughter soon died away as Jin turned to me.

"You. We need to talk."

Hobie and Jimin soon stopped laughing and I exchanged worried looks with them as I got up and started following Jin hyung who flung open every door until we ended up outside.

He paced up and down before stopping suddenly and approaching me quickly so that I was forced to step back.

Although I could feel the intensity of this situation, I couldn't help but appreciate how ruggedly handsome this hyung was even when he wasn't wearing any makeup.

"Hyung...is everything ok?" I muttered slowly as he ended up leaning on the wall next to me, brushing his blonde hair back.

He shook his head.

"Why did you ask me if S...if Seoyeon was doing well?" Jin choked saying her name.

I turned my body to him, paying close attention.

"Uh, I was just wondering," I lied.

Jin paused before speaking again, "I broke up with her just now."

My eyes widened as I shook my head, "What? What did you say?"

"I broke up with her," Jin said plainly, a strange sense of distance in his voice.

"H-how comes?" was all I managed to choke out.

This was not good at all.

Jin closed his eyes and spoke, "Don't tell anyone, especially not your girlfriend. Ya, am I not handsome enough? Look at me, how can another guy be more handsome than this?!"

I didn't know how to react, they were going so well, why this all of a sudden?

I was about to ask when Jin hyung read my thoughts, "She cheated on me."

"How do you know that?" I blurted out.

He turned to me, "I don't need proof to know it's true. I saw it with my own eyes on their trainee reality show, and apparently she's wanted this too, for a long time."

This was not like Jin, he was such a rational person.

He would never believe something off a reality show! Those things were ironically very far from being real.

I couldn't help but laugh, "Hyung, are you being serious? I've known her for years and although she's very hot headed, she's the most loyal person around, she'd never cheat on you!"

"She wanted to end it too. Ya of course I spoke to her, but she didn't even defend herself. Besides, I don't have time to deal with a girl who can't love me only," he said, pursing his lips and turning to me.

My mouth was hanging open as I was struggling for words.

"But, but-"

He cut me off, "Now I can focus on Bangtan Sonyeondan completely. Don't tell Jasmine about this conversation."

Jin hyung started walking back in, but I shut the door and stood in front of him.

"At least tell me why you're so sure she was cheating on you?"

"She's done some questionable things in the past and she – ya, forget it Taehyunga. Move out of my way now," he pushed me away as I swallowed, not knowing what else to do.

Just before he went in, he turned to me, "Have you eaten?"

"I'm not hungry," I shook my head as Jin hyung held the door open for me.

Together, we walked in silence back to the studio as I changed back into my uniform.

As we were all catching the bus to Daegu High, Jimin slumped down next to me with a worried expression.

"What happened?"

I looked at Jimin and saw he was genuinely worried, his lips forming a full pout as he stared at me with concern.

"You've got really good lips," I grinned as Jimin laughed and pushed me away.

"Be serious, what did hyung say?"

I turned to look out of the window at the busy streets of Daegu.

"Remember I told you about Seoyeon noona and Jin hyung dating?"

Jimin nodded.

"Well, they've broken up all of a sudden. Apparently she was cheating on him-" I said in a low tone as Jimin instantly cut me off.

"Impossible. He's got the wrong end of the stick. Ya, you know noona! She and Minnie are basically twins, she'd never do that!" Jimin's voice was raised as I hushed him instantly, looking around.

"Jiminie forget it for now. Ya, has Minnie been acting weird lately?" I asked, analysing Jimin's expression.

I knew they'd gotten really close and I wanted to know if she acted the same way around him.

Jimin brushed his hair back and looked ahead at the students getting on the bus.

"What do you mean? You should know, she's your girlfriend."

I stared at Jimin's side profile, "Of course she is pabo. But she's avoiding me for some reason, I thought maybe she was avoiding you too, but I guess it's just something I did-"

Jimin cut me off, "Actually coming to think about it, she has been avoiding me too. She'd tell me if it was something to do with you."

I raised my eyebrows, "Uh huh? Okay. Well, I'm going to speak to her later on."

Jimin nodded slowly as I turned to look back out of the window.

That was very odd.

Jimin spoke differently, he almost spoke with coldness in his voice which was impossible for the Park Jimin I know.

I looked at him from the corner of my eye and he had a serious expression on.

So now Minnie and Jimin were both hiding something from me.

"Jiminie?" I said his name gently as he nodded his head once, still not looking at me.

After realising I was waiting for his attention, he turned and faced me.

I rested my head on his shoulder as he let out a quiet chuckle.

"What's wrong Taetae?" He asked with a softer tone.

"Please don't change," I replied as Jimin shrugged the shoulder I was leaning on.

"Why'd you say that?" He asked, flashing me a smile.

I smiled back at him, "Because you're the only brother I have."

"Haha, why do you forget Manse?" Jimin laughed as his eyes nowhere to be seen.

"Ya pabo, I have to act like a father to him, but you are my brother who I can open my heart to. If you don't accept me, who else will? Jiminie, please don't go far from me," I said quietly, looking out of the window.

I don't usually open up like that to anyone other than Jimin and even then, I prefer not to.

I could feel Jimin's gaze on me.

"Ya!"

I turned to Jimin with a pout as he pinched my cheeks.

"I'm always with you no matter what and you should know that Taehyunga," Jimin smiled warmly as we started messing around again.

I just hope he doesn't change.

I just hope he knows that we are brothers.

I just hope he knows how much I love Minnie.

************************

JUNGKOOK'S POV

"Seoyeon isn't like that though; she would never send an innocent guy to prison!"

"Look here, look at this article! That's my father and that boy is my older brother. Look at the headline, just look at it!"

"Ok...but I...I think I love her, and I'm sorry Jungkook, but I'm willing to overlook it..."

"Jin hyung, I know reality shows aren't real but – look. Ya, I didn't want to show you this video but one of my friends who works as security captured this CCTV footage."

I watched on as Jin hyung turned pale with shock.

I didn't want to have to show him the video, I didn't want to break his heart, but what do I have to break, I'm just showing him the witch's true colours.

"Hajima! Stop! That isn't my Seoyeon...That can't be! She – she – she only loves me! You don't know anything, you're just a kid!"

Jin hyung was having a breakdown as I put my phone away, staring at him with sadness building up in my soul.

As much as I detested her, she had put a spell on our hyung.

He would suffer heartbreak, but it was best for him, it was best for Bangtan.

Jin hyung ran his fingers through his hair as tears were building up in his eyes, only a blink would make them fall and scatter.

"Jung-Jungkook – don't show anyone else..." his voice trailed off as this was the moment that his heart was breaking.

Seeing him like this reminded me of my older brother when he first got put in prison and before I knew it, tears were rolling down my cheek into the corner of my lips as Jin hyung placed his hand on my shoulder.

He transferred all his weight there as he was shaking, his head bent down.

He finally looked up, his handsome face turned rosy pink and swollen.

"Jehbal, Jungkook don't show anyone this...she – she only has her honour."

I looked at him, my vision blurred from all the tears.

I wiped my face and walked towards the door before I'd have a breakdown alongside Jin hyung.

I'm sorry hyung, but the world needs to know what she is.

He's too nice, he'd make such a great husband one day, but Seoyeon needs to be exposed.

Her family will be ruined; they need to know how it felt for my family all those years ago.

Justice needs to be served and when the world doesn't give it to you, you need to take the world in your own hands.

"Jeon Jungkook! Ya, are you even listening to me?"

I was shaken out of my thoughts as I saw Sooyoung standing in front of me, waiting an answer.

It was now break time and I was sitting in our shed for an hour, having alone time.

I decided to miss English class because firstly I was terrible at it and secondly, the stupid teacher doesn't even want me there.

Sooyoung and I have been dating and everyone thinks I'm too young to know what I want.

They are all wrong.

I know what I want and Sooyoung drives my hormones crazy, she's so perfect, how did V hyung let her go?

I grinned at her as she rolled her eyes.

"What's so funny? Ya, I need you to do something for me."

I got up and towered over her, she was so y and I wanted to kiss her, but she pushed me away.

"Are you going to help me or not?" She responded plainly as she was keeping a distance from me.

"It depends," I replied.

"On what?" She sighed.

I tilted my head to the side and stared at her.

Why does it feel like a one sided relationship?

I furrowed my brows and pushed her out of the way, "Ask someone else for help. You know what, coming to think about it, you only ever start conversation with me when you want something."

As I was walking out of the shed, pissed off at her stupid attitude, she ran in front of me to block my way.

"Move," I plainly said.

At the end of the day, she was a girl and they all have some poison in them.

You can hardly find any angels, apart from IU.

Ya, that singer is in a league of her own, she's an angel and I can never get her, not even in my dreams.

Just before I pushed Sooyoung again, she pushed herself against me and stared deep into my eyes which had now widened.

I felt awkward being this close to a girl without prior consent so I stumbled back into the door as Sooyoung started running her fingers through my fringe and gazing deep into my eyes.

I looked down, but she tilted my chin up and started kissing me softly.

I saw her eyes were closed and I closed mine too as she opened my mouth with her tongue.

My heart jumped for joy and just as I was getting into it, she pulled away.

Aish, what a tease!

"Will you help me please Kookie?" She put on a sweet voice that captured my heart in one.

I smiled and looked down at her, "What is it you want me to do noona?"

She rubbed her hand down my front and looked up at me, blushing.

"You're so hard," she replied as I was lost in her eyes.

It registered a couple of seconds later what she just said as I flushed red and awkwardly moved away from her, she so much when she took control.

"Aww its okay! Ya, I'm all yours and always will be anyway. So I need you to break up Taehyung and that waekugin," she said as she was gazing into my soul.

I shouldn't have let her in, but she caught me off guard already.

Again, it took me some time to realise what she just said, I was hypnotised with how she made me feel so jumpy.

"Noona, I can't break another hyung. First Jin hyung and now V? It's too much for me to do..." I trailed off as Sooyoung was kissing me gently on my neck.

Omo, this felt like paradise.

She tiptoed as I grabbed her by the and lifted her up so she could kiss me better as she started tracing my ear with her tongue.

"Kookie, I'm not saying this for me. I'm doing this for Bangtan. You know how close Taehyung and Jimin are, right? Ever since she got in the picture, they are drifting away...If you love them both you will remove what will soon destroy their friendship..."

She whispered in my ear as I registered what she said immediately.

It was so true, she was right.

My brothers were getting divided because of her.

I kissed Sooyoung back, "What should I do?"

She took a step back and gave me the cutest smile as I grinned back, flashing my teeth at her.

After I'd leak the CCTV video of Seoyeon, I'd make sure Jasmine leaves Taehyung and Jimin alone.

They were my precious Hyung's and Sooyoung was always looking out for me, guiding me and telling me the truth, how it was.

Just then, I let go of Sooyoung as I saw Yoongi approaching the shed, looking down and immersed in his music.

"What's wrong?" Sooyoung gently asked as Yoongi looked up and saw me standing there awkwardly.

Seeing my facial expression, Sooyoung turned around as her light brown hair flicked back.

"Oh, hey Yoongi."

Yoongi hyung looked at her and didn't say anything as he walked past me and started collecting his speakers that he left from earlier.

"What did I do?" Sooyoung pouted her full lip out cutely as I stared at her with longing.

"That's just how he is," I replied, her soft cheek as she kissed my hand.

"Whatever. I'm going to class now, but remember our little promise," she whispered as she picked up her bag and ran off, leaving me hanging without a kiss.

Ya she was such a tease, but I'd have all of her later on...

"Jungkooka."

I turned and saw Yoongi hyung standing inches behind me, putting his bag back on his back.

"What's up hyung?" I smiled, elbowing him playfully.

He wasn't in the mood for playing as he stared at me solemnly, giving me what I knew was his silent judging face.

He sighed, "What is this that I'm hearing? You aren't concentrating on your studies?"

I stared back at him and lowered my head, kicking the ground.

"I am. I just don't like some classes," I whined back.

"Neither do I."
