"They are your friends?!" Chang Wook exclaimed loudly. His voice screeched through the silence.

"Yes. So let him go, oppa." I frowned as I pulled his hands away from Taehyung.

I looked at Taehyung with concern, but he had his cold expression like always. It was just that this time he was looking at me with his sharp gaze and I was wondering why.

"Who is this? Your boyfriend?" Namjoon asked with his smug face, earning a glare from Chang Wook.

"Watch your mouth bastard." Chang Wook almost marched at him but I pulled him again.

"Oppa, just stop!" I stood in between them and looked at both sides with a stern face, especially at Chang Wook who was still looking so pissed.

"I can't believe that you're friends with a bunch of.. thugs or burglars or rapists–"

"But they're not. They're just normal students." I corrected him and he huffed out a frustrated sigh.

"Calm yourself down, oppa. I'll bring water for you. When I come back from the kitchen, I want everyone to take a seat." I said, coming out as a command as I eyed every each of them who was wearing a conceited expression. Guys with their egos.

I shook my head and went to the kitchen with a heavy sigh. What in the heaven's name is happening here? I knew Chang Wook would act like an overprotective brother as he was, that was why I did not want him to know about Bangtan boys. But then I didn't expect the boys to come over and Chang Wook didn't even text me or call me saying he would be coming home.

I checked my phone and saw that there were five missed calls from Chang Wook. Oh... So he did.

I went to the living room with a glass of water and saw that everyone was already seated. I let out a satisfied smile, feeling thankful that at least they were still listening to me.

"Guys, this is my big brother, Kim Chang Wook," I explained to the audience. Some of them seemed like they couldn't believe the news, including Soojung and Suzy.

I managed to catch Taehyung's expression relaxed a little and I was confused for a second because now he was eyeing me with a glint of guilt across his brown eyes.

"Why you didn't tell us that you have such a good-looking oppa?" Soojung whispered to me, but then her voice was clear enough for everyone to hear it. Chang Wook smirked a little while Namjoon immediately became stiff in his seat.

"Oppa, they are Bangtan boys. Please introduce yourself, guys." I said as I took a seat beside Chang Wook. I expected the boys to introduce themselves, but they quickly made a face saying 'I don't want to introduce myself to this guy.' 

I sighed at the hostile atmosphere. Having no choice, I stood up and walked towards Jimin.

"This is Jimin–"

"–got no jams." Hoseok suddenly barged in, making some of them snorted. A second later, Jimin smacked Hoseok's chest hard.

"This is Hoseok." Hoseok nodded awkwardly at my brother.

"This is Jin, Yoongi, Jungkook, Namjoon..." Namjoon played with his phone without even looking at my brother. I really thought it was a bad idea to let them be friends, or maybe they shouldn't meet with each other anymore.

"And lastly, this is Taehyung. Oppa, I think you should apologize to him since he didn't anything wrong but you almost punch him in the face." I walked towards Chang Wook and crossed my arms, showing that I was serious about it.

"But I can't help it! What kind of brother will stand still when he saw a bunch of bastards in his sister's house? Not one but seven, so I grab the nearest person–" Chang Wook was about to defend himself but immediately I pressed a finger to his mouth.

"Nah uh. You always said that we need to apologize if we do wrong to people. So yeah, come on, apologize." I sat beside him and beamed him a smile but he stared at me with his furrowed eyebrows.

"Are you serious, Jinhee? You want me to apologize to this... kid?" Chang Wook pointed at Taehyung like he was an object.

Once I shot him a glare, he quickly nodded a few times and held his hands up in defeat, meaning he would apologize. I could see all the boys were trying to hold their laugh as they wore a triumphant smile on their faces.

"I'm sorry that I grabbed your collar, Kim. Tae. Hyung." Chang Wook faked a smile towards Taehyung and covered his face afterward while gritting his teeth, feeling annoyed. I chuckled at his reaction.

"That's my oppa!" I patted his back and smiled cheerfully.

"I'll go and take a bath first." Chang Wook said, his voice sounded disappointed.

"Wait. There is something here, no wonder I feel uncomfortable." Suddenly, everyone's gaze focused on my brother. Chang Wook rubbed the soft couch and when he felt something in his hand, he pulled it up.

My eyes widened at seeing the photo in his hand. Almost immediately, I tried to snatch it before he could look at it, but as he got a fast reflex like me, he dodged my hand and took a closer look at the picture.

It was the different picture of me and Taehyung inside the haunted house.

"Mind explaining to me what's this picture all about?" Now it was Chang Wook's turn to look at me with a glare. He showed me the picture and slammed it on the table. Jimin then took the picture and looked at it.

"So you guys did take a selfie! I totally forgot about that. But..." Jimin looked at it again and he was momentarily awestruck. His head snapped up to look at Taehyung.

Jungkook took the picture and had the same expression as Jimin as well. The photo passed to another person, to another, to another until all the boys looked at Taehyung in complete surprise, which somehow left Soojung, Suzy, and me in wonder.

"Kim Jinhee, answer me!"

I turned back to look at my brother who had a fury eyes burning into mine. He glanced at Taehyung and then back to me.

"Um... We entered the haunted house as a punishment, oppa. Nothing much. And we are just friends..." I tried to explain as I muttered the last part softly.

Chang Wook was not convinced by my words at all. He then let out a deep and tired sigh with his arms placed on his waist.

"We need to talk. Tell them to leave, immediately."
