Chapter ~ 18
Third person POV
"I'm sorry sir, Miss the shop's closing in thirty seconds" the frustrated cashier sighs as he repeats himself for what seems to be the hundredth time.
The blonde haired male however, doesn't listen as he continues to glare at his oppressor "one, last, flick" Jimin croaks out "no way" Rei screeches, "I'm winning this bottle fair and fucking square."
The cashier stares at his watch eagerly 'work overtime" they said, 'it'll be fun' they said, he scowls whilst remembering his fellow workers explaining as they slyly begged him to take over their shifts.
The only reason he's half putting up with this is because he wants to know who'll win. The cashier sighs pinching the bridge of his nose knowing that there'll be no end to this war.
That's until he spots something in the far corner of the fridge, his eyes land on his saviour, something that'd surely end the war as he sighs at the chance of escaping.
"Excuse me" he calls but they're too busy with their game to notice "hello" he yells again "not now cashier dude" Rei snaps "but there's another" he's about to say before Jimin cuts him off with a pained groan.
The man's face transforms into that of one pushed so far to his limits that he could potentially murder the two "there's another bottle" the agitated cashier growls as they both turn to look at him "why didn't you say that before?" Rei muses innocently whilst grabbing the other bottle, Jimin remains on the floor.
"Sorry blonde dude gotta dash" the girl salutes with haste, "wait" Jimin calls out in a pained whisper "who are you?" He questions "Rei" she replies "Jimin" he calls back as she grins whilst leaving.
Upon reaching home in thought Jimin knocks loudly, completely oblivious to what's happening behind the door.

Y/n's POV
You race home eagerly, thoughts invading your mind as you unlock the front door and close it with a thud "Jimin" Taehyung barks as he stumbles into the living room.
You can only shake your head as a response whilst the younger male frowns "we'll get him tomorrow" you assure whilst making your way to your room.
You sigh heavily as you slip on your pyjamas waiting for the night to pass. Hours pass by but you aimlessly stare at the ceiling as you do every other night except this time you don't expect a knock on your door.
"Hey noona you awake?" Taehyung calls, you shuffle up from your lying position to creak open the door."What's wrong?" You whisper "I can't sleep, and I know you don't sleep" he grins sheepishly.
You roll your eyes pushing the door as your stepbrother runs inside burying himself underneath the sheets as he notices your missing presence.
"Come on noona" he whines whilst making grabby hands at you, you shake your head, a little smile playing on your lips as you sit under the sheets beside him.
Taehyung's head rests on your lap as he falls into a deep slumber. The both of you decided to keep your relationship a secret which is why no one would ever think you're siblings. It's hard and it didn't really help that you didn't see him much at home either.
Him and Jimin were and still are, part of an ongoing war which you can't even understand yourself. You thought it'd change after you returned home but that definitely didn't go according to plan.
If anything your presence made it worse, but there's something about it, it feels as though Taehyung somehow misses Jimin even though they don't really get along.
The blonde haired male snores loudly as you stroke his hair, your legs freezing under the mass of his unusually heavy head that releases the burden of it's weight on your numb limbs.

"We need to talk" Lisa says sternly, you scrunch your face up sighing through your nose "I know" you reply. You'd been distracted the entire lesson, whether that was due to the raven haired male teaching you or the confused girl seated adjacent to you.
"Let's get out of here first" you smile, she nods her head following you as you successfully avoid your maths teacher. You see him frown as you race away with Lisa at the sound of the bell.
Yes it's awkward. And yes you don't want to face him just yet, which is why you've used the blonde haired female as your scapegoat for the day.
"Why are we here?" She questions. The two of you stop in front of a house, the coloured exterior bewildering Lisa as you answer her question.
"We're meeting a friend" she doesn't question you anymore as you knock, impatiently waiting for the door to open. "Y/n" an old lady greets smiling at you as is she's been blessed by the heavens.
She's old enough to be a grandmother yet other than her wrinkles and slouched posterior you wouldn't be able to tell how old she exactly is.
"Is Rei in?" You question with a little grin of your own "she's upstairs making all that racket, call me if you girls need anything" she smiles, her eyes crinkling as you nod making your way upstairs. Loud music blares through your ears as you scoff.
The familiar walls of the hallway surround you as you enter through the array of doors leading to the studio. "I-is she dead?" Lisa squeaks as she follows behind you. The two of you examine the petite frame of a brown haired female spread across the floor "highly unlikely" you reply whilst squatting.
Flicking her forehead you hear her groan before her eyes shoot open. "You could've called me awake" She grumbles, you grant her a smirk as she rubs her ache."I could've" you reply whilst standing, Rei looks at Lisa inquisitively almost as if she's assessing the blonde haired female, "this is Lisa" you say, "Rei" the girl introduces herself as Lisa smiles.
"Is this who you wanted me to meet?" Rei questions as you nod, "I've been meaning to tell you both something,
something that I've probably kept hidden for too long."
