TAEHYUNG POV

"Hello. There, how are you?"

"Uhm... hello."

"Are you lost? Where is your mother?"

"I.... I'm just here by myself."

"It's not good to be in a place like this. Do you want me to take care if you don't have parents?"

"If you come with me, I'll make sure to take care of you. But you'll have to work too, I'll help you."

-

"When I'm gone, you must know how to defend yourself, it's a shame how your parents decieved you like that. You'll be able to build a wall around yourself once I'm done with you."

Do you have to work hard for love?

Do you always need to be tired and overworked to crave love?

"And Taehyung... remember this...

...Never let anyone hurt you, it's always normal to hurt others if you have a reason for it. You know, that's how the world works. Hurt people who you think deserves to be hurt, no matter what, never let them break you."

"Hurt anyone that gets in your way."

PRESENT

SEOKJIN POV

"Now tell me... Seokjin," he said, smirking at me as my eyes widened from shock.

Then suddenly, a loud laugh surrounded the tensed room. And Taehyung covered his face with his one hand, laughing loudly as he clutched his abdomen.

Then, after a few seconds, the laughs were suddenly getting muffled, the laughs were slowly dying as it was replaced by chuckles, giggles, then into...

Sobs?

"HAHAHAHA... ha.. ha..," Taehyung said as I saw him closing his eyes, and a tear rolled down his cheek, followed by another one as he covered his face.

"What... what did I... do to deserve to be thrown away like that?" Taehyung sobs, the creepy smile in his face never leaving.

"What did I do to become the odd one out of us?" He said as he wiped his tears.

"You know... it hurts seeing both of you climb up the highest place, when I'm just left in the dirt like that," he said as he looked at me.

"I was jealous. I craved for family, I craved for attention, maybe that was why I.. hurt you. Not that you don't deserve it," he says.

"People would say I'm a bad person when... they don't even know me aside from just my name," he sobs, as he wipes his tear-stained face.

"It hurts seeing that old bastard rise to the top when he forgets that he dropped an innocent human being, It hurts seeing him love others aside from.... from my mom, I miss my mom," he cried.

"Who... who is your mom?" I asked quietly, and he looked at me before biting his lip.

Now that I think about it, I see myself in you.

You might be someone that hurted me all my life, but you look vulnerable, insecure, you felt unloved.

Is that why you built a wall around yourself?

"

Your maid... Yeongji... she is my mother," he said and my eyes widened, and I looked at the ground.

"The first love of that old bastard."

Yeongji... no... it can't be.

"I never viewed you as a family, except for my mother. But I doubted her love and ran away, and now I forgot what love felt like," he explained.

"The first time I felt that way was when I saw you. You looked at me and ran away from me," he said through angry tears.

Then, something hit inside of me. With all the force in my body, I shook off the arms that were locked into mine as I got up quickly, then I sprinted towards where Taehyung was.

And engulfed him in a hug.

He froze as I hugged him, my chin on his shoulder as tears started streaming down my cheeks.

"You should've told me those instead of hurting me!" I cried as he froze in his place.

"I didn't watch you get beaten up back in elementary! I wanted to help but I was scared!" I continued.

"And why didn't you tell me sooner that you're my brother?!" I said as I hugged him tighter.

"You... you're also family, you know? After the explanation you've given me, I could tell you've been through a lot," I said.

"Why don't you hate me? Why did you forgive me so easily and touch me like this?" He said softly.

"Because... I want you to be in our family. I want you to feel loved and accepted, I want you... to feel validated," I replied.

"Stop... stop giving me false hopes. Not when we've lost the old man... who almost murdered me," he replied before pushing me away, his eyes glassy and teary.

"I don't want to be in your family anymore. Not when I've already come this far, I'm going to ruin each one of you, until KimHit is destroyed," he said as he looked at me.

"I hate you. I hate every single one of you Kims. So stop making me feel like I belong with you guys, I need to hurt anyone that comes in my way," he continued.

"Taehyung! I might not have remembered being with you, but I want to atleast love yourself if you don't want to love us," I replied.

"Shut up, I SAID SHUT UP!" Taehyung yelled, fisting his hands as he looked at me.

Crreaakk

"Taehyung!"

YOUNGYEON POV

Bullied... Seokjin...

Wait a minute.

I was walking out of the hospital after Yeongji told me about herself. She even told me her love story with Mr. Kim. And I was sad that she had to got through all that, staying with him until the very end.

And now that I was given this new piece of information, I could already remember that memory I forgot 9 years ago.

So it was him I sent to the nurse's office.

He... was different before.

Back then he was shy, and he seemed to always frown. We only met once in highschool though, I guess that's why I never really remembered it.

I could already remember the small bits of that memory where I saw him beaten up, and it made my heart sink as I kept walking home.

As I made my way back, my eyes caught a familiar figure walking towards me, and my eyes gazed at the person.

"Hey Youngyeon..."

SEOKJIN POV

"T-Taehyung..." another voice resonated the room, and the door swung open widely as they stepped in, running towards Taehyung.

Then, they quickly grabbed Taehyung, restraining him from punching me as they looked at me.

"You promised not to hurt him anymore!" A dark-haired male said.

"Hyung, I can't keep promises. Not when he's infront of me right now," Taehyung gritted as he looked at me.

"Still, we're not here for that, we're here for another thing," the male replied.

"That's it then, I have something to ask you, Seokjin," a grin made it's way to Taehyung's face as he calmed down, giving me a smirk.

"Do you know Lee Youngyeon?"
