"Seokjin? Wh-what do you mean....?" I replied, looking at him as he stood infront of something.

It was a small box, and there was an engraving inside. It seemed like it was isolated from the other graves that have been in this place. It was made of marble and he looked at me before giving me a small smile.

"She's not my mom. She's actually.... just my stepmother," he said again and I stared at the tablet.

May you be in our hearts,

Kim Sehye

"Is this... your mom?" I asked and he nodded as he faced the tablet.

"She was cremated here. She's been here for for 29 years now. She died when I was 10 months old. I come here whenever I'm scared, because I know she'll be there for me," he replied softly and I looked at him before tilting my head.

"Then, is your brother....," I trailed off.

"My half-brother. When my mom died, my dad remarried and they had a son, Namjoon," he explained and I nodded before looking at him who was staring at his mother.

"Then, why are you here right now? Did something happen? You know you can always tell me, I'm here to talk," I said, growing worried for the man who standing beside me.

Behind that confident, cocky, bastardous, and picky personality of his, he's also really sensitive, and wasn't sure of himself. Everything he's been hiding is now infront of me.

"I just had... a bad day. When I have a bad day, I visit mom. But I rarely have bad days, so sometimes I feel sorry for myself for forgetting about mom," he sighs deeply and I stare at him who had his hands in his pockets.

"Hey Seokjin?"

"Hm?"

"What was difference between your mom and your stepmom? Was she good to you? No scratch that, was she better than her?" I asked him and he looked at me before smiling sadly.

"The difference between them was... my mom knew everything about me, she was there for me when I needed her the most. While my other mom treated me like every stepson, yet I loved her. But I knew she loved Namjoon, and that's normal, because he's her biological child," he replied.

"That's kind of sad. I had a happy family too. I'm just kind of sad it didn't last long," I said.

"Why? What happened to yours? If you're comfortable in telling so," he replied and I looked at him.

"Well..."

YEOSANG POV

I speed-walked towards the bathroom, my eyebrows furrowing as I tried to get rid of the blush on my cheeks.

I passed by different rooms, and my eyes caught a single light illuminating from one door.

Is that... the bathroom?

I arched a brow as I looked at the door, slowly walking towards it as I made my way to it. It had a small gap and it wasn't fully closed. I made my towards the door, making sure I don't make a sound.

As I reached it, I peeked in to see what was in there.

And my eyes widened.

What the-

In an instinct, I swung the door open, and the figure infront of me jolted up in surprise as they dropped what was in their hand.

"Wh-what are you doing!?" I said as I marched towards the figure, grabbing them by the collar before pulling them towards me, looking at me in the eye.

"What about you, Yeosang? What are you doing here?" They asked as they looked at me, the papers in thieir hand.

"You're asking me? This room isn't for employees, especially interns, Mr. Jung Hoseok," I gritted out as I pulled on his collar.

"Oh really? Thought it was the  bathroom, my bad," he replied as he looked at me with a smirk in his face.

"This room was always locked! This is full of the CEO's most important, private, and confidential files! I knew there was something off about you," I said.

"That's a shame. I was hoping he'd share," he said before pushing me harshly, sending me to a wall as I closed my eyes at the impact.

"Tsk, poor Jungkook. He has such a douchebag falling for him," he narrowed his eyes at me as he approached me.

"Sad there's no surveillance in this room," he sighed.

"I knew that you seemed fishy from the start! What are you gonna do with those files?" I asked as I got up, pushing him back as I bent down to yank his collar harshly again.

"Oh I don't know. How about you shut up or I'll tell Jungkook you were the one who stole the files," he said as he grinned at me and my eyes widened.

N-no, not Jungkook.

"J-Jung...Kook? He-he wouldn't believe you!" I replied as I pulled his collar, almost closing the air from his lungs.

"Oh, we'll see. We'll see who he believes," he says as he gave me a mocking smile.

"What in the world are you both doing?!"

Our eyes widened as we turned to the direction to where that voice came from.

Jungkook?!

NAMJOON POV

I got off the car, looking around before sighing heavily. I told the driver to wait in the parking lot as I stepped up the stairs, making my way to the entrance as the doors were instantly opened for me.

"Long time no see, Mr. Namjoon!" An older maid smiled and I bowed at her.

"You too Yeongji, you've gotten older but you aged like fine wine," I replied and she chuckled softly.

I walked to where the dining room was, and I looked at the two figures who were already seated at the table, they smiled and waved at me.

"Namjoon! You're here!" Mom said as she waved at me, and I bowed before walking to the seats, pulling out a chair before sitting infront of them.

"Namjoon," dad said, and I gave him a small smile.

He looked even thinner than yesterday. And he looked paler, he looked at me as if nothing was wrong with him.

"Namjoon, you should eat now, I have to go to the kitchen and get the food from Yeongji," she smiled at me as she gave me some chicken from the serving plate.

She slowly stood up from her seat, leaving me and dad alone, and he sighed before looking at me.

"Namjoon, my son. You know, I've been harsh of you from the very start, right? I wanted you to excel in everything, because I wanted you to become the best of the best in the future," he said

"Yeah, I know. But dad, what's the use of being rich when it can't even buy happiness?" I replied and dad smiled weakly before placing his hand on mine.

"But at the same time, I'm happy for you. I realised that being a businessman is very busy, I wanted to be a father to you, not your superior," he replied and I nodded before slowly standing up.

"I'm... gonna go and help mom with the kitchen, be right back," I smiled at him and he nodded as he slumped back at his seat.

I made my way inside the kitchen, it was a bit near from the dining room and I was wondering where mom was.

Bing!

My eyes gazed towards where that noise came from. It was dim and only a few lights were on, I sighed as I made my way to the sink, looking at it.

And my eyes widened.
