Note: 용수(YongSu)

Y/N's POV
A day has passed since Jin cried in my arms. I was sitting in my office thinking of very important things when a knock resounded.

What should I eat later?
Shall I ask 용수 to cook for me?
Wait, does that make him my maid?
But he is male though, maid is for females, right?
Is there even a difference?
Why am I even thinking of this?
Now...what anime shall I watch?
Demon Slayer seems nic-

Knock. Knock. Knock.

"Come in" I spoke casually dismissing all my previous thoughts and moving on to my "business" mode.

As the door opened, it came to reveal a still very disorientated but better looking Jin(As in his complexion seems better... wait that still doesn't sound right. Haiz you know what I mean).

Without speaking, he shut the door and made himself comfortable onto the chair in front of my table, directly opposite me.

"What are you looking for me for?" I asked cautiously, not wanting to startle or pressure him any further, especially after yesterday.

Jin looked visibly stressed as he blew a deep breath out. "Y/N can you please tell me everything?"

I looked at him quizzically. "Don't you already know?"

Jin flinched once again before calming himself down to speak, "I know bits and pieces, but I'd like to finally know the whole, full story from all perspectives."

My eyes softened before I nodded at him beginning to speak of his past.
"So shall I start with Jungkook, alright?"

Jin nodded, closing his eyes for a moment to brace himself for the full truth.

"So Jungkook and Namjoon's parents were close friends in the past. And Jungkook's parents were actually arrested and jailed for causing your parents' death", I began.

Jin visibly flinched as he took in a sharp intake of air. But still, he kept silent waiting for me to go on.

"However, Jungkook's parents were actually innocent. That day, Jungkook's parents weren't the ones on the wheel. Namjoon's mother was the one driving."

Jin's eyes widened as his mind spun.

"So the death of your parents was actually caused by Namjoon's parents. Jungkook's parents were innocent. However, Namjoon's mother didn't want to go to prison and therefore she took a more precarious measure. She killed off Jungkook's parents, under the ruse that Jungkook's parents committed suicide" I spoke slowly.

Jin let out an audible gasp.
"H-how can th—th..."

I smiled sadly at Jin, "And this accident destroyed the lives of three very young children. You became parentless, left to a vile woman whom you call your aunt. Jungkook was too, left parentless, and with no relatives willing to take him, he became an orphan. Namjoon was left without a face. You could too say he lost his parents in the process too, feeling incredibly ashamed to the point where he left his home."

Jin bit his lip, "How could this have happened...?"

Jin's breath was shaky.
One incident successfully managed to completely eliminate the happiness of three innocent people.
Jin wanted to scream, to turn back time, to maybe go back and somehow prevent that car crash from happening.
But Jin himself knew, he couldn't do anything to change the past, and because of that, he feels very, very confused.
What should he do?
What is considered the right action?

I glanced at Jin as he slowly processed the information, his face contorting into all sorts of expression as he flashed from anger to sadness to regret to frustration. But ultimately, his face settled to the one of pure confusion. Now that he knew the truth, what should his next step be?

Jin's mind was on overload as he felt lost. Was he truly the victim here? Because, Jin himself may have lost his parents, but so did Jungkook, and even Namjoon. Though Namjoon's parents were technically still alive and breathing, he still did lose his parents per se. Namjoon lost his belief and faith in them and thus he too ultimately has lost his parents as well.

Jin somehow too wondered if this whole thing was a joke, though he somehow knew that it was indeed one hundred percent truthful.
Could it really be this coincidental that the three of them were linked by the same incident?
How should he react after knowing all this information?
How should he act towards Namjoon and Jungkook after this?

Looking at Jin as his brows remained furrowed, I pat his shoulder gently giving him the warmest smile I could muster. I couldn't tell him what to do and how he should lead his life after knowing this. The only thing I could do now is to offer him as much comfort and reassurance as he needs.

Third person's POV
After the revelation of the issue hanging between Namjoon, Jungkook, and Jin, the other members were starting to feel the tension(with the exception of Yoongi, he is still locked up in his room. He locked himself in).

So Hoseok, Taehyung, and Jimin were currently sitting in a mini circle(or more specifically a triangle) discussing about their current issue.

"Okay is it just me or is everyone else acting weird?" Taehyung started.

"Nope, I real alright. I feel it. There's some kind of rigidity that lingers in the air." Hoseok spoke.

"Yup, I feel it too. It's rather uncomfortable" Jimin agreed.

"I wonder what happened. Do you think this will affect our gang as a whole?"

"Of course it would. Without our leader, our eldest hyung, and our precious maknae, everything will fall apart." Hoseok stated worriedly.

"Then what can we do?" Taehyung questioned, his voice filled with overwhelming concern.

"We'll just have to wait and see. We don't have much of a choice" Jimin sighed causing the other two members to sigh as well.

Namjoon's POV
I can't think.
Right now, it's not only Jungkook that's bothering me. But now, Jin too. He's been so distant, he's been acting...I don't know how to put it in another way other than the word weird.
We're falling apart and I don't know what to do. I can't seem to go up to either one of them, they refuse to speak or even look at me.

And it hurts. It hurts so bad. But what can I do? I'm the child of a murderer. They killed Jungkook's parents. And not to mention for their own self-benefit.

What can I do exactly to remedy this?
It's not like I can ever repay for my parents' sins. I can't bring the dead back to life-

"Namjoon."

I heard someone calling out to me, and my eyes widened at the familiar voice.

Gazing up from my sitting position, I called out a simple but filled with desperation, "Jin hyung".

He nodded at me, his face never changing.

I stood up immediately, our eyes meeting each other's as I stared at him for a few moment, trying to read his expressionless face.

"Hyung ah, why did you suddenly begin to avoid me? Why did you suddenly turn away from me?" My voice cracked a little at the end, but I paid no mind to it.

My question was a little straightforward, but I didn't want to beat around the bush any longer. I couldn't stand it anymore.

Jin hyung didn't react the slightest bit as he turned around, his back facing me as he began to walk away. I was frozen in my step as I couldn't move a single muscle in my body. I just stood there like a fool watching him leave. But before he exited my line of sight, he stopped in his tracks.

Turning his face to the side, I felt his eyes pierce through me as he spoke not too loudly but not too softly either, "There are only three reasons why. Either: one, jealousy. Two, I just don't like you. Or three, a personal vendetta."

With that, Jin hyung walked away without turning his head back even once, leaving me to my own thoughts.

"Could it be that...?" I whispered out to myself in disbelief.

There's no way. Right?
