Recap :-

"What?" she feigned innocence.

"Don't what me Y/n. I want to know the real reason why did you accept V so suddenly?"

"I don't know why are you asking me and it's being any of your business?

"Oh let me tell you. I don't want to see my friend hurt"

"Well I already decided what I want and you cannot change my decision.

"And definitely not after I heard what y'all were conversing"

(Present time)

"Even after that, you allow V to court you?" Jimin asked, redness from anger still visible on his face, cheeks flared in unfairness.

"Yes!" Y/n shrugged nonchalantly not getting the big problem.

"Y/n, you know that it could go wrong?" Jimin pleaded desperately worried for his friend.

"I know that Jimin" Y/n waved him off.

"Then how could you let yourself in that pain again?" he hold her hand while his eyes probe her pain behind her calmness.

(2 hours prior)

Without knock, someone barged into Y/n's room, with loud thumping footsteps and grabbed her arm successfully scaring her out of her wits. She couldn't scream or call out for help as the strong man seemed to already predict her next move and cover her mouth with his relatively small but firm hands.

Y/n panicked and nervous about the next move of the intruder. She couldn't see him because of the fast moves and blur surrounding from the tears. But she noticed the manhandle was done rather gently like he was making sure to nit hurt her in any way. The stranger was just firmly dragging her like he was eager of showing her something.

He stopped at front of V's room where she had just received a bitter truth about the prank done on her. She still couldn't believe that her cute dorks were trying to mock her, set her up to make her look like a gold digger. She still had the evidence of the hurt and betrayal in the form of painful tears trailing from her orbs and constant sniffing from running red nose.

"Listen" the man ordered in a whisper and see saw that the door was still locked and the men behind it were still having their conversation not aware of the eavesdropping intruders.

Not wanting to listen more or shamelessly eavesdrop again, she took a step back to went back in her room but the man didn't let go her hand and stood his ground.

She was forced to listen the painful conversation. Not paying any attention, she dropped her gaze on ground and sniffled quietly as the conversation continued.

"Weren't you the one who told him to do that?" Yoongi accused.

"I- yes but not like that"

"Then how? Tell me"

"I don't know okay"

"I know it's selfish of me to throw my feelings towards her and burden her but I just wanted a fair chance. It doesn't matter if she ends up rejecting me but at least I will have no regrets" Tae revealed.

"Then why did you do that?"

"I love her hyung, you can't even imagine how deep the feeling is. Just by looking at her face in morning gives me motive to do the work. I don't feel like going to work to be able to spend the day with her. You won't even believe me if I told you that I dont even like killing anymore, I work levelheaded now. I give second chances, influenced by her kind and understanding ideology. She had changed in a best way. Now I feel empathetic towards my gang members. They are happy with my change mind who understand their family issues. I never felt the need to associate myself with a opposite gender. But she is like my oxygen hyung! I dont want her. I need her or else I couldn't live anymore or will go back to previous self- the ruthless V. I know it's selfish of me because she is love with another person but all I want is - a chance. A single to show my feelings to her. And and if she still didn't accept me then it's fine. But atleast I can live knowing that I confessed to my one and only.

She felt her heart leaped low and feeling bad for her savior who had done nothing but make her comfortable in an unknown place, stick with her when she felt down, help her get cozy with his members. And here she was thinking bad about him, misunderstood him in a very wrong way. She even think wrong of the boys who probably had no idea that she was cursing them in her mind and weeping an Amazon.

"Wh? Eh!" she can't even understood what was happening and was dragged again by a tight grip on hand. Now all she could roll her eyes and not felt an inch of fear, when knowing the intruder was none other than the sweet Jimin when her tears finally dried.

"So?" Jimin asked when they went back in Y/n's room.

"Huh?"

"You heard the full conversation right?"

"Yes" She sheepishly agree.

"Then, there is no need to cry anymore"

"H-how did you know that I was there?"

"I saw a shadow near the gate. And I don't know what came over or how but I just felt like something was wrong. I-it was a intuition. And I am thankful that I follow it or else there would be a big misunderstand"

"I am sorry. I am sorry for eavesdropping and listening to your private conversation and misunderstanding all this. I-i" Her tears slide once more when the weight of what could happen from the half conversation. That's why there is a famous saying 'A little knowledge is a dangerous thing'

"Stop Y/n-ah. Sshh just stop. No one is asking for any apology. I just wanted to show you that no one is going to hurt or set you up again" Jimin instantly hugged her calming her crying state.

"Y-you?" She asked even though knowing that he already knows her past.

"Yes, baby I know about it and I didn't tell anyone. Don't worry about it"

"B-but aren't you disgusted?"

"To hell with that. I know the truth baby" he soothe her troubled mind.

"I-i thought that it happened again"

"Shhhh. I am here and it's not going to happen again"

(Flashback)

Y/n was 3 years younger than Chanyeol who was thirteen when the news of their parent's death crash upon them, their relatives didn't came to wipe the siblings' tears or were eager to take two extra burden on their backs but definitely rob them from their parent's property, leaving the authorities to dis-heartedly sent the crying children to an orphanage. Maybe the God couldn't stand the grief of innocents and sent a guardian in the form of 'Director' of the orphanage, a kind soul- who acts like a mother of orphans, never lets them feel alone in the vast world.

She took the Park siblings under her wings and provide them the basic education till Chanyeol gained the status of legal guardian of his sister and used his saving which he stacked up from a barista job and was capable of renting a small apartment. He was a bright student thus gained scholarship easily and transferred themselves in a prestigious school. His burden lessen when her sister was able to gain a scholarship for herself too making him proud of her.

 But he didn't knew that the dream of a glamourous world will be a living hell for Y/n.

From the very first day, he gained popularity and fangirls and his sister was also admired by many but the admiration soon changed into hostility when the uptight and wealthy kids knew about their poor status.

The Prestigious school might be a well-known education center but it was a hot spot of famed and affluent families.

Chanyeol had a group of friends to help him cope with the hostility but Y/n was always frowned upon, an outcast, always target by caked-face girls who fret on the relationship of siblings. Hushed gossips, insensitive rumours, glaring eyes never left her. Rich girls like to feast upon her anxiety and panic attacks.

His fangirls never physically hurt her but mentally tarnished her resulting the poor lass to hide from her brother and his friends' care. Chanyeol didn't had any idea of the extent those mean girls but was astonished after hearing one day about the rumours that-

'Y/n was incessantly involved with Chanyeol'

That day, Baekhyun (bestfriend of Chanyeol) found Y/n crying in on of the stalls after listening some girls intentionally gossiping loud and throwing nasty words at her and revealing her whereabouts.

The fright and surprise, the students felt after suffering from the uproar of Chanyeol screaming his lungs off, daring them to spread any bullshit rumours about them- about her precious sister.

Chanyeol's group of friends were the one who found about that and calm her down after founding someone crying in the girls' washroom. Chanyeol hugged her and cried with her after finding from her friends what her sister went through.

Soon the whispers died down and the siblings sigh in relief but the peaceful moment was short-lived.

Y/n remembers the day when Chanyeol introduced his first girlfriend - Natasha. A rich foreigner student who was fascinated by South Korea's different culture and came last year to study. She was a completely sweetheart who never bragged about her riches. But Y/n knew the reality of hers.

 Natasha was the alleged Queenbee of school who was the main schemer behind Y/n's sufferings.

Y/n never revealed the painful grabbing's, intentional pushing around and hurtful words to her brother and friends, not wanting to rip apart her brother's and his friend's happiness or ruin their bonding who were impressed by Natasha.

The hateful words and emotional bullying changed the once confident girl into a self-conscious and troubled teen who was afraid of sharing her pain to other even to her brother.

Her suffering came to end but with a huge price.

"Oh look! Who came? The slut of the year" a random girl hollered when Y/n reached at school the other day whereas Chanyeol already went to class with his friends.

"I can't believe she did that. Looks could be deceptive" a boy commented.

"That means, she is also incessantly with her brother. I pity her brother" 

"I knew from the day one that she is a whore!"

Y/n heard all the gossips once again surrounding her, crushing her esteem but this time it was something else. She could feel the malicious gaze on her and students crowding a notice board.

With shaky steps, she came near the board as students were avoiding her like plaque.

Her orbs frozen upon seeing the pictures of her and Math's teacher (Mr. Lee) clipped on the notice board with notes attached. The most disturbing part was that - she was just in a towel, blow drying her hair and the teacher was laid shirtless on her bed. 

(Present time)

"I know it's childish to dwell in past. I tried my best to forget about it, pretend that it never happened, pretend that it was never my past. I though it was omit from my mind but af-after I listen the boys' conversation, I remembered how I was set up in high school, how I was ruined because some people wanted to have a little fun.

"You don't have to explain. I just didn't wanted my friend to hurt. You are my friend. I care for you like my little sister. Chanyeol maybe not here but I am here"

"Thank you, Jiminie"

"Shh. Now no more crying because you look ugly while crying. Hey! don't wipe your snot on my shirt"

"I hate you!"

"And I love you baby sis. But really are you sure that you are fine? I mean now you know V was not scheming against you but still, are you sure that you are okay with this? If you want, I can talk to him"

"There is no need. I accepted it for not making things complicated"

"What? I don't understand!"

"Jimin! last night I thought about it a lot and I came to a conclusion that I should give him a chance"

"But don't you already like Taehyung?"

"Yes I like him. But we are not in a relationship yet. I want to be in relationship with someone after all clarity. I like Taehyung but what if it was attraction, I may feel that I am in love with him because we are far away. I may have not be in relationship before but I have seen enough to know that people get confuse all the time in relationships"

"If I didn't give V a chance now or clear it then perhaps I would remember or regret not giving him a chance while in relationship with Tae. And it wouldn't be fair for Taehyung. I feel a bond with V, he had saved me twice and it could form in a attraction later. If I settle those feelings and still feel strong bond with Tae then it would be a true love. I want a clear my own feelings and emotions before entering in a relationship. Maybe what V feel is just an attraction"

"Bu-" Jimin interjects

"No I am not doubting V's feelings but people tend to get confuse between an attraction and love. Attraction is temporary but love is for eternity. Even a husband and wife could drift apart because they were just attracted towards each other. And after some time realises that they are not meant for eachother. I didn't feel love at first sight for Tae but rather realise my feelings after spending time with him. I am scared that because of my uncertain emotions and inexperience in relationships could hurt Taehyung. It's better to sort it out now before promising and establishing a bond"

For few seconds, none of them spoke. Y/n thought that maybe Jimin didn't like her thinking.

"Wow.. Woah woah! So much philosophical knowledge. My brain don't have that much capacity to soak what you just said but well you thought good. I am happy that you came to a perfect conclusion  I am so proud of sis" he praised her and kissed her forehead brotherly.

"Hey don't do that! I am allergic to cringes" she faked gagged.

"Noooo... adopt me as your another brother"

"One is enough to give me headache. I don't need more!"
