RaeJae's POV:

"Your name is RaeJae?" Youngjae asks again.

I stare at him for what feels like forever. The image of the newspaper clip with the story of what I sincerely believe to be about me running through my mind.

Is this boy in front of me really my brother?

"Yes," I nod, putting the pieces of the puzzle together.

Something is stopping me from spilling the entire story word for word to him because it seems wrong. His whole life he has probably thought his sister, or me, was gone forever. Plus, how can I be 100% certain I am her.

The last thing I want to do is give false hope to anyone.

"May I ask who your parents are?" He tilts his head curiously, his eyes holding a sense of doubt that words can't explain, "It's just that you remind me a lot of someone I used to know,"

I pause for a moment, "I was emancipated at a young age, so I don't really have contact with my parents anymore," I decide to reply truthfully.

"Oh... and were they your real parents?" He continues to explore the idea.

"Unfortunately," I sigh, Jungkook nudging me slightly as if to ask why I'm not saying anything else.

"Ah, I'm sorry to hear that," Youngjae finally stops pressing for answers, but his face says something different.

"Um, I think manager-nim is asking us to leave. It was nice meeting you," Yoongi interjects softly.

"See you soon? You and Jungkook should come lunch or something with Yugyeom and I sometime," BamBam smiles with a wave.

"That'd be great!" I smile back, turning around, "goodbye!"

"I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand,"

I feel my heart stop in my chest as my feet feel like they're paved in cement. This song has always been familiar to me but I never knew why because no one around me knew of it.

"I felt the earth, beneath my feet
Say by the river and it made me complete,"

Yoongi and Jungkook both stop along with me, staring back at Youngjae who has just broken into song for what seems like no reason to them.

"Oh simple thing, where have you gone?"

"I'm getting old in I need something to rely on..." I sing under my breath.

"Hyung, what are you doing?" I hear BamBam laugh without turning around.

"It's a song," Youngjae says simply.

"...yeah... but... why are you singing it..." BamBam trails off.

Yoongi puts his hand around my arm to make me look at him. He jerks his head slightly in the direction of the door, and I decide to follow his advice.

"Somewhere only we know by Keane," I say over my shoulder, "it's a good song,"

Yoongi's POV:

What would happen if RaeJae and Youngjae were to uncover the truth?

I mean, I'm pretty convinced that this is the truth considering Youngjae's reaction earlier.

However, despite me being happy that they'd finally be reunited I can't seem to allow it. If RaeJae finds her real family, what if she changes?

I know it's a selfish thought, but RaeJae has become who she is because of what's happened to her. If she were to meet her real parents I can't imagine how she'd feel.

And even so, what would come of this?

Would Youngjae's parents adopt her? Or would she already be there's by definition.

The media would go crazy over this and I don't want RaeJae to go through that. People would call it a publicity stunt or maybe find a way to turn it on Youngjae's parents.

I want nothing more than RaeJae to feel loved but part of me knows that the boys and I already love her.

But then I have to ask myself, am I being selfish because I'm jealous?

Something I've always related to RaeJae on is the fact that we both have accomplished everything on our own. From the moment we decided to pursue our dreams until now, it has always been us pushing ourselves.

The boys have always had their parents support, but us, we only ever had ours.

"Why didn't you say anything?" Jungkook asks as we walk away.

He doesn't understand, he never does.

"Because, if I did, what would be the outcome?" RaeJae looks up at him.

"Um... you'd get to meet your real family?" Jungkook replies as if the answer is simply obvious. He's half right, the answer is obvious, but it's not so simple.

"I have a feeling that it would bring more difficulties than it would any good," RaeJae sighs softly.

"Rae, you don't know for sure if you're related anyway," I say.

"Hyung, I think it's quite clear," Jungkook scoffs.

"Maybe, but for right now I think it's best to leave it untouched," I shrug.

Jungkook lets out an angered laugh, "I don't understand this. Rae, you've always wanted a family who loves you, and now you've finally found it, But you won't even do a thing to obtain it?"

"It's not that easy-" she starts.

"Yes it is! Alls you have to do is tell Youngjae what you found. He's your brother for gods sake!" Jungkook starts to raise his voice. Luckily we are too far away for anyone else to hear.

"Yes but-"

"Do you know how much Youngjae and his family have probably thought about where you could be or what happened to you? You could at least give them some piece of mind!"

"Jungkook-"

"You have to go tell him the truth. Did you see his face when you said his name, and when you recognized whatever-"

"JUNGKOOK!" RaeJae shouts, stopping him from saying anything more, "this isn't a movie. I can't just say 'Youngjae I'm your sister' and expect everything to be fine. I can't just meet my real parents and act like we've known each other for our whole lives. They don't even know me, Jungkook. I'm practically a stranger to them and do you know how that would make me feel? Aside from awkward I would be heartbroken because they never got to see me grow up. They never got to know what I liked or disliked, my friends, or take pictures of my first day of school. I wouldn't just walk up to them and they'd immediately become my parents. Loads of DNA tests would have to be done and probably a bunch of legal stuff. Jungkook, if I tell the truth then I have to face the truth,"

"To me that just seems selfish," Jungkook furrows his eyebrows.

"And maybe it is, but I don't plan on realizing that my entire life has been stolen from me and that everything up until this moment has been a lie. Because if I meet his parents, all of the hardships that I went through to get to this point in my life could've never existed. And finally for the first time in my life I feel like I belong somewhere and frankly I don't feel like changing that."

Jungkook remains silent.

"You, are my family. Yoongi Hyung is my family, the boys are my family. Family doesn't have to be by blood, you have to know them to love them," RaeJae finishes, storming off to find the van.

"If she just spent some time to get to know Youngjae and his family, then she could be apart of it," Jungkook breaths out.

"Spend some time? What time to we have? We're always practicing or doing something else for BTS. Jungkook, we are idols. We have no time," I reply.

"This feels way more complicated than it needs to be," He looks at me.

"That's just life," I shrug, following RaeJae to the van.

Soooo it took me a life time to update this because I wrote the whole chapter and then it somehow deleted D:

Also I posted another cover to my YouTube channel and would really appreciate it if you would check it out!!

Korean boy update: thank you for all the kind words on my last update on my boyfriend (now ex boyfriend)! Unfortunately, I decided to break up with him because he will be graduating soon to go to the opposite side of the country ): I also just thought it was better for us to be friends, as dating was sort of pointless since we would never be able to see each other next year or for years to come. Since he is korean, he has to join the military for 1 1/2 years which he plans to do in 2020. We are still good friends though, and maybe it will work out in the future!
