The upcoming weeks only seemed to make the things distant for the best friends. They both got busy with their daily lives.
The new year celebration felt nothing but like just another day.

New Year's Party Night

Y/N and Seokjin didn't get to attend the New Year's party with their families and friends.
Both being the elder heirs of the business tycoons didn't get to celebrate with their families and friends.
Again thanks to Y/N, Claire actually announced herself as Namjoon's girlfriend and he didn't bother to correct her.
But what he couldn't figure out was how he's actually affecting someone unknowingly.

Jan 15
Y/N Birthday

She locked herself at home, except
for walking back to college after the winter break. That too alone.
It wasn't that Bangtan and Raven forgot her big day. But because Raven and Taehyung disclosed about them dating each other. Taehyung even tried to coax her and tried to find out her reason for objecting their relationship. But Y/N wasn't able to explain herself. She just said she can't just approve of them being together.

And in the heat of the moment, Taehyung raised his voice on her
saying "Stop interfering noona, you are not my eomma!"

The boy soon realised and tried to apologize but she walked away from him. She stopped talking to the eight boys. The incident practically created a huge gap in between her and Raven whom she didn't want to talk to.
But not Yoongi and Hoseok, those two were the only ones who were able to break into her house and mind.
Even in the University, she would do everything to avoid her friends.

Unknowingly, she began to trigger her panic attacks which she thought she'd recovered long ago.

They say, Sometimes it's not the hard threats but the soft threats that are worst.

Feb 10th

It was 6 in the evening when Hoseok and Yoongi were at Y/N's place
The boys were helping her out with the group project that the five of them including Jin and an another girl in their class was assigned together.

But being a stubborn brat, she told Jin and the other girl to fuck off. Saying that the two of them don't need to involve as she will just include their names.
They were all seated scattered in the living room. The two boys were working and she was napping.

"Waah! It must be tiring to try hard to run away from us. Isn't it hyung?" Hoseok spoke with a fit of giggle.

"Umhmn. She is actually the type to hold grudges for good. Glad she still allows us to be around her. Taehyung was asking about her. Again. I don't know how to fix thi........"

The door bell rang interrupting their conversation and Y/N woke up with an annoyed expression.
"Ah, it must be Hyungsik. I hate work!" She whinned as she remembered .

"Who?" Yoongi asked with a frown on his face.

"A friend from work. Please let him in.
I'll go and freshen up." She said and walked away and Hoseok went to open the door. A man in his 30s stood in a simple suit with a bouquet and an office bag in his hands.

"You are?" Hoseok asked as he squinted his eyes on the male at the door.

"I'm am Park Hyungsik. Is Ms Sampson home? We are supposed to finish some pending work." Hyungsik replied with a smile and raised his hand to show his office bag.
Hoseok stepped aside and asked him to get in.

As soon as he was about to close the door, a pair of hands stopped him from closing the door. Hoseok's eyes widened as he saw the Kim brothers panting hard.
"You guys shouldn't be here. Please leave before she knows." Hoseok pleaded.

"Please hyung~! Let me talk to her once!" Taehyung spoke with his eyes glistening moist.
Hoseok let them in knowing that he couldn't deny the younger male.

The four of them walked in only to see Hyungsik and Y/N giggling onto something at the kitchen island as Hyungsik patted her head lovingly.
She didn't see the Kim brothers as she was back facing the boys.

Hyungsik saw the three new faces and waved his hands at them. Seokjin scoffed and Namjoon poked the inside of his cheeks while glaring at the unknown man.

"Yoongi-chi, help m....." She turned around calling Yoongi but lost her voice at the presence of the Kim brothers. Her eyes turned blank as she glared at Sope.
Yoongi raised both his hands in surrender.

"Hoba, help your guest walk out of my house. I never allowed you to invite anyone." She sounded annoyed and glared at Hoseok. Turning her attention to Hyungsik she said "Hyunie, let's get to work. Come." She pulled Hyungsik towards the couch.

Namjoon didn't budge from his place.
He spoke in a little loud voice "Who is he Noona? And why the hell are you ignoring us? Ignoring me?"
He sounded desperate. Like he would cry out any moment.

Y/N stood up and turned around to face the three brothers. She then turned to Hyungsik and said "Hyun, do you mind waiting in my room? I need to talk to them."
Hyungsik nodded his head and was about to walk out but Namjoon again spoke "Let him stay here."

"Alright. Speak up your get out of my house." Y/N spoke with anger evident in her voice.
"What right do you have to enter my house without my permission?
Why do I need to answer any of your calls? And who are you to talk to my boyfriend like that?"

All of them gasped at the sudden information. Hyungsik looked like his eyes would pop out of the socket.
"B-boy f-friend?" Namjoon stuttered and stumbled a few steps backwards.

Y/N didn't reply and kept a straight face. Taehyung's tears kept wetting his soft bread cheeks. She gulped hard as she felt a strong urge to hug her favourite boy but the sharp words Taehyung had said to her kept her feet glued in her place.

"N-noona~" she heard him stutter in between her sobs.

"Who's your noona kid? As far as I remember, I don't have any siblings.
And I hate when someone pokes their noses in my personal life. So please leave respectfully."

Seokjin clapped his hands mocking her. "Where did your big talk go? He's my baby brother and other bullshit. You just love playing victim, don't you?"

"You have no right to question my feelings and emotions. You knew Claire hurted me but you kept quiet. You only stepped in when you heard about your brother getting hurt.
You guys didn't bother to check on me.
If I was fine or not. Or did I get hurt or not. You're not so different from me.
My lovely childhood friend chose to trust his girlfriend over me.
Why would I trust you? You didn't bother to look for me!" She shouted at them. It looked like she was struggling to breathe.

"Hey tiny! It's alright okay, listen to me. Take deep breaths. Relax~" she found herself following Hyungsik's directions. The other couldn't comprehend. Namjoon didn't knew about her detoriating health.
He was brought out of his thoughts when he heard Taehyung.

"Noona please forgive me. It was a slip of tongue. I won't talk to Raven hyung, I promise you."

"Stop bugging my life. You're not my mom. She's been dead for more than a decade. Leave. All of you. Let's behave as if we never knew each other."
She turned to Yoongi and Hoseok and said "ask them to leave Yoongi-chi. I'm very tired. I'll go ahead and sleep."

Namjoon hated the moment as Hyungsik helped her walk to her room. He looked at Yoongi who gave him an assuring nod. He walked out of the house with his brothers.
He now knew what the problem was.
And he exactly knew who can help him fix it up.

But Namjoon knew his mom better.
He prepared himself as her mom is not going to help him easily. She
is a woman about who they say

Sweet words are more dangerous than those hidden daggers.
