"Jungkook, think about it again. You'll regret leaving all this behind."

"I regret staying here more." I reply, standing up with my brother who holds my hand quickly and walks with me to the front door, waving once at our mother. She says nothing and turns away, heading upstairs.

Jeonghun stares at her back disappearing at the end of the wall and then looks at me with teary eyes. My baby brother. I smile softly and carry him in my arms, kissing his cheek and wipe his tears, "Let's go home."

He nods quietly and rests his head on my shoulder as I leave the house, keeping our bags in the trunk of the cab waiting for us and get inside, taking a deep breath. Finally, the first step towards making things better.

My phone rings, drawing attention from both me and Jeonghun. He peeks at the screen as I smile at him and answer, "Yes dad? Yeah, we're going to the airport now."

"Dad!" Jeonghun chirps, smiling his first happy smile today. I nod at him, humming as dad is telling me about how he's looking for a new job these days and so he can't keep Jeonghun with him right now. I genuinely feel so bad for him, mom left him with nothing.

"Don't worry, dad, Jeonghun can stay with me for a few days. I'll take care of him, probably not as good as you, but I'll try my best." I say, he remains quiet for a moment before speaking again in a voice that says he's more than just thankful, "Take care dad, I'll call later. We're at the airport."

"Bye dad!" Jeonghun says, making me chuckle as I hang up.

He holds my hand, looking around the airport with curious eyes despite all his travels in the seven years of his life have been on airplanes. The fascination never lessens, as we reach near our terminal and soon ready to board the plane.

"I wanna go to the toilet." Jeonghun tugs on my sleeve. I look down at him and nod, guiding him to the restroom first.

He comes back quite fast and I give him a frown, "Did you wash your hands?" I ask and he fiddles with the hem of his t-shirt, looking around to find something to divert the subject. "You're a bad boy, Jeonghun. Go wash your hands."

"I- I did!" He retorts.

"Lying is bad. Go and wash your hands now, or else I'm leaving you here."

"No, I'll go!" He says quickly, rushing back inside and comes after washing his hands, showing them to me. I shake my head, patting his back and make our way to our seats, among which, one is next to the window because Jeonghun loves to sit there.

"Are we there yet?" Jeonghun's tired voice asks as he's leaning on my arm.

"Just two hours more." I answer, "Do you wanna watch another movie?"

"Mm no" He shakes his head.

"Come on just one more." I say. A movie is the only thing that will keep him entertained or else he won't sit quietly and won't let me sit either.

"Uhm that one... in which there's a pretty girl."

I stare at him for a moment, before clearing my throat, "Which pretty girl?"

"That one, I don't know her name..." He pouts, "She's pretty, and she wears a pretty dress."

"A princess?"

"Yeah, but that one... uhm..."

I sigh and start taking the names, "Cinderella? Snow White? Aurora? Ariel? Or... come on, what else is there... Uh Belle?"

"Yes! that!" He nods. Wow, I didn't know my brother has a crush on a disney princess. I put on the movie and lean back on my seat while he'd stay quiet for the rest of the time.

As time passes my mind wanders to Seoul, specifically to this one girl who apparantly has a guy that is not me. I don't mind if she's happy, but as the movie plays and Jeonghun turns to me once in a while, telling me how his favourite princess might be the pretty noona and the beast is the bad guy. Park Jimin? No!

Who's going to tell him the beast is not the bad guy...?

I sigh deeply, pulling out my phone and straight away click on the colorful camera logo. What did I follow Park Jimin for?

He has posted a picture of Sara staring not at the camera, but more like at the person taking the picture. The picture shows the thin straps of her crop top that are tugged down, revealing the most perfect shoulders and the collar bone I've seen in my life. Her hair is a bit messy, and the lower lip is tugged between her teeth subtly to make her look dangerously attractive as she's leaning a bit forward.

The picture is captioned, Heroin  with a kissy face emoji next to it. Is he on drugs? Or what if he's giving Sara drugs? Jesus! I knew he's the beast– No, the bad guy! He's the bad guy!

My jaw clenches as I accidentally move on the next post which is a short video of them standing in front of a mirror. Their faces aren't showing as Sara is facing the mirror and Jimin is holding the camera behind her, focused on her exposed back. She glances back at him and he chuckles, sliding up the zipper of the dress for her. The captions says, Haven't I been blessed a lot lately?

Yeah, sure, I'll make your blessings end soon, Park Jimin. Just you wait for me.

I take a deep breath to calm myself down, closing my eyes and close the goddamn application.

The next I know is Jeonghun shaking my arm and pointing at the airhostess, "Wake up, that noona said we're in Seoul now." I look around and realise people are buckling their seatbelts as the plane is about to land. I do the same act of buckling our seatbelts and wait while Jeonghun leans closer to the window, watching the shadow of the plane reaching the ground and soon we feel the turbulence.

"Let's go, we're in Seoul now." I say with a smile, making the boy happy. He unbuckles the belt and stands up first, taking his little bag on his back and holds my hand like the good boy he believes he is.

Over the computerized voices making announcements and people buzzing around the airport, Jeonghun's voice still comes clear as he points at a store, "Can we get some banana milk?"

"Sure," I nod, seeing him already running in the said direction. He picks up his favourite drink and a pack of candies, showing them to the cashier lady and walks out as if he owns the place.

"The payment–"

"Here," I sigh, paying for the stuff and follow Jeonghun out. "Come here, we've to go this way." I laugh when he's walking towards the wrong direction with full confidence. He looks at me, dropping all the attitude and stumbles beside me.

"Are you trying to get me lost?" He says.

"Yeah, that's why I called you back, instead of actually letting you get lost."

He gasps, staring at me and hugs my hand, "Please don't get me lost." He says, making me chuckle. He's still a kid after all.

"Alright, don't leave my hand then." He nods almost instantly, staying close to my side as we arrive outside the airport and hail a cab to go to my new apartment.

Jeonghun gets in first while I put the luggage before getting in next to him. His eyes shine with excitement, for one mom is not here, and for two, he's going to see dad soon now after two and a half years.

"Is this where we are going to live?" He asks, staring at the multistorey residential building in front of us. I nod in response, paying for the ride to the driver and take our suitcases, gesturing Jeonghun to folow me.

"This is pretty," He says, his eyes stopping at the park nearby where kids are playing as it's evening already. "Can I play there too?"

"Yeah, but not now." I answer, pressing the button of the elevator with memories flashing in the back of my head. "Jeonghun, you wanted to see pretty noona right?" I ask with a soft smile and he nods vigorously.

"Yes! Where is she?"

"She lives here." I say with a warm feeling arising in my chest.

"Really? Here? We're going to live with pretty noona?" He asks almost jumping in his place, wearing a wide smile as he stares up at me.

"Not with her. We'll live in the floor above her."

"Oh, why not with pretty noona?" He pouts.

"We cannot stay with her just like that." I try to reason with him and ruffle his hair, "Also, she doesn't know we're here."

"A surprise?"

"Yes," I nod, releasing a breath, "a surprise."
