Jimin pov ~

I hid on the side of the the convenience store watching the mess going on inside through the window. I sighed as Jin kicked the shelf knocking all the perfectly good animal crackers to the floor. I looked up at his face which stared longingly at the floor. It was a few minutes of stillness but then I saw one single tear fall from Jin's eyes. He wiped it away quickly while everyone else was standing in the corner cowardly. Except Tae. He grabbed a huge container of cheese balls and started shoving them in his mouth. After years of being his bestfriend I knew he ate when he was upset.

Unless of course that was an act. I didn't know what was the truth anymore. Was Jin my sweet hyung or some stone cold killer? Was Tae my friend or just some kid Jin hired to watch me? I can't do this. I shut my eyes and backed away trying to think of how I could get to my house the quickest. I kept backing up until I ran into something. "Yah watch where you're going," I heard as I felt hands grip me and spin me around. I slowly opened my eyes and came face to face with Naeyeon once again. "What are you doing here?" I whispered. "I knew a boy like you would try to run away from your problems again so I followed you," she said. "I'm not running away.... just taking a break real quick," I muttered. "Mhmmm how long of a break? One week? Two weeks? Your problems don't go away unless you confront the problem yourself," she said going over to the window.

"Are these the people that are causing you problems?" She asked. I nodded. "What are they doing? Bullying you?" She asked looking over to me. I shook my head ,"that's my brother, bestfriend, teacher, boss, and two other people I've ran into before," I said giving the most basic explanation ever. She rolled her eyes and grabbed the collar of my shirt and pulled me to the front of the building. "Noona I can't do this please let me go," I begged. Before I knew it the sliding glass doors opened and her little arms pushed me into the store.

I tripped and before I could blink I fell right into someone's arms. When I looked up I realized I was in the jet black haired boy's arms. He said nothing as he stared down at me. I panicked and pushed myself off of him as I turned towards the door. Naeyeon ran away quickly so there really was no chance of me leaving now, I sighed. "Jiminieee you came backkk" I felt Tae wrap his arms around me tightly. I tried to get him off of me but he was holding onto me too tight. "Taehyung... I can't breath," I yelled. He let go quickly as the blood finally started flowimg to my brain again.

"Why'd you come back?" Jin asked quietly. I looked at him with anger in my eyes. "Because I want to know what exactly you've been lying to me about." I took a seat at the few tables we had in the store. "Now explain," I said sitting back. "Jimin it's better if you stay out of this," he muttered. I laughed, "At this point you have no right to tell me what I should stay out of. Now tell me right now before I call the cops on those two right there for mugging me," I said pointing to the Jet black haired boy, and the brown haired boy from the other night. Jin sighed, finally giving up.

"Jimin why don't we talk alone than," he said grinding his teeth. "No. Why don't you just tell me in front of all of your little members," I said. He glared at me ," Jimin you're not the hyung, I am."
I smiled, "Are you sure about that? Or did you lie and say you're older than I am? Cause right now you're acting like the child," I said in a mean yet teasing tone. He got angry and I heard snickers coming from the other members.

To be honest I've never seen Jin get angry at me but in all honesty his eyes went darker than I've ever seen them. "YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH JIMIN?!" he yelled as his face got red. I saw the members step back. "OUR PARENTS GOT SHOT ALRIGHT. OUR PARENTS WERE THE LEADERS OF THE BIGGEST GANG IN SEOUL. I TOOK OVER THIS STUPID GANG TO PROTECT YOU AND NOW YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO ACT RUDE TO ME? YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH IVE GIVEN UP FOR YOU. YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT MY FIRST LIE WAS? IT WAS TELLING YOU THAT OUR PARENTS EVEN LOVED YOU!" He screamed the last part. I stared blankly at him as his eyes turned lighter and filled with regret.

I didn't even know what to say. "J-Jimin I didn't mean-" I cut him off. "You mean they didn't? D-did you not love me either?" I whimpered as my eyes filled with tears. I stared at the ground as the tears rolled down my eyes. Tae went to give me a hug but I pushed him off of me once again. I heard the doors open behind me as someone pulled me out. "Where do you think you're going with him?" Jin yelled. "I'm taking him away from you, you jerk. Some things are better left unsaid." I recognized that voice. My eyes were blurry and filled with tears but I recognized her once again. Nayeon.

She pulled me a few steps until she pushed me into her car. I wiped my eyes as she got into the drivers seat. "N-noona? I thought you left. Didn't you say to not run away?" I asked. "Sometimes it's more cowardly to stay, than it is to leave," she said as she drove slowly. "Jimin he had no right to say that to you. No matter how petty you were acting," she muttered angrily. "Hyung is all I have. I don't have anyone if he doesn't love me," I said sniffling. "Jimin. Seeing the way he looked at you he loves you very much. More than anything. You're his entire world. But you have to understand that the hyung you know is different from the leader those other boys know. He's two faced," she said. I thought for a moment. "Like multiple personality disorder?" I asked. She shook her head. "MPD is completely different from him. Your hyung just feels he has to be different in front of different people he's not actually a different person. To you he's a sweet innocent hyung who's overprotective. You have to understand that in front of those boys, he's a leader. He can't show any emotion in front of them. To be honest, I think he just snapped out of embarrassment," she said.

I never even thought about that. "He got mad because you were treating him like a person that could be a pushover. He's got to be the untouchable leader around those guys," she finished. "So if he's two faced which one is the real him?" I asked. She sighed, "neither of them are. Both of them are just defensive mechanisms. He can't be real and truthful around you so he makes up for it by gettting you whatever you want. He can't show emotions or be nice around his members in case they're spy's or someone who's out to get either him or worse, you. So he creates these personas that are only partly the truth. At least that's how I see it," she said shrugging her shoulders. "How do I get him to show me the real him than?" I asked.

She stayed quiet for a few moments. "Well.... you got to listen to him and hear the whole story. Then maybe ask those other kids what they think of Jin. Figure out both his personalities then work with him. Show him that it's okay to be himself around you and eventually that it's okay to be himself around his members. He thinks he doesn't need a team he thinks he can lead without knowing anything of his members. That will only get him killed. You got to teach him teamwork Jimin. You have to teach him you're not a child," she finished. She was right. No matter how much he hurt my feelings. He's probably the one in real pain.

"And how do you know all this? You couldn't of figured it all out by eavesdropping just now."
She thought for a second.... "you know, I used to know somebody just like your brother. His mind worked the exact same way. I don't want your brother to make the same mistakes that he did."
I nodded, not wanting to pester her anymore. We drove in silence for a while as I thought about her advice.

:a/n just so you guys know Nayeon and Jimin aren't gonna fall in love with eachother. They're just going to trust eachother a lot and help eachother.
