"—yes i know oppa! relax! byeeee!" aera waves at jimin who sighs softly, breaking into a smile and waves back while the girl rushes out, munching on the toast in her mouth and finally gets in the car. jungkook rolls his eyes, driving out instantly as they're already running late today like this whole week, all thanks to his precious little sister, who just couldn't get out of her high school schedule that ended for good.

now she's in the college, freshman and just a week into it while jungkook will soon be having his last semester and then he'll be free from the restrictions at last. jungkook awaits the day of his graduation like a hawk, even aera wasn't this thrilled to end her high school. she was scared just by the thought of school life coming to an end and she'll have to go to the college, take extra classes, struggle for grades, do tons of assignments and the most important of all, act responsible! all of that was scaring for someone who doesn't even remember taking meals until their elders keep reminding them and force them.

she did tell jimin about her fear and how she didn't want to go to college at all, saying that she can just live in one corner of the house with jimin and won't bother him much if he's providing her snacks and wifi. that would be a cool life. however jimin didn't find it any impressive and listed out the importance of studying, college, socializing and stuff like that, leaving aera with no othr option than to agree, pushing her fear behind the fact that she still had one more brother who is also attending the same college, so at least she won't be all alone.

after the first day in the new place, her fear did lessen by a large extent, making a new friend who wasn't really aera's type, but she was nice. and aera came to know that's how opposites attract. while aera was talkative and loved fun and adventure, her new friend, park juhi was a quiet girl, who speaks just as much as it's required, loves to the company of her books and is a great listener. always calm and composed, unlike aera who was mostly clumsy and acted according to her mood.

aera knew most of the guys jungkook often hung out with, the three who she gad known since jungkook was in high school, daniel, minhyuk and jackson. the fourth one, max, she knew as someone who used to join them but never seemed that close the rest of the boys. he would still laugh and crack jokes with the group but wasn't always a part of their private hang-out sessions which were mostly at daniel or jungkook's place. abd for that reason she assumed he was more introverted and still taking time to settle in with the boys as he had joined the group just last month around the time aera first went to the college to look around the campus with her brothers once before actually starting to study here with the only purpose of not getting lost in the huge place.

"go in, i gotta wait for the boys," jungkook says, humming to himself as pulls the car in front of the entrance and gets busy fixing his hair in the rear view mirror.

"okay," aera nods, stepping out and pulls out her phone while also scanning around the place to find her friend. not sparing much of a glance to her brother for he drives away, probably towards the parking lot, aera takes a deep breath, continuing her search for juhi who seems lost today. other days she would be waiting by the gate number two, out of the five allowed entrances in the campus.

"hey aera!" she hears a manly voice rather than a girl's, turning around just to find two of jungkook's friends heading her way. she smiles back at them, recognising them as daniel and max, "where's kook?"

"he's in the parking i guess. he said he gotta wait for you guys, so he must be coming," she answers, looking around casually and finally spots her friend. "i'll go now, bye," she chirps, turning on her heels and waves at juhi, getting a tiny wave back.

"hey! i was looking for you!" aera beams, linking her arm with juhi as they head towards their first class together.

"my parents dropped me off today, and dad is kinda y'know paranoid that i'm seeing someone. so it took me a while to convince him that there's no one." juhi says, followed by a deep sigh, making aera snicker.

"mm well you are a gorgeous-gorgeous girl. if i were a guy or a bi or a lesbian, i would definitely date you. wait— can we date now?" aera turns to her, stopping in front of the class and juhi laughs, shaking her head as she pushes the girl inside. "aw c'mon, y'know i'll keep you happy!"

"sure," juhi shakes her head, "but on a serious note aera, are your brothers like that too? i mean overprotective like my dad?"

"yep! veryyyy," aera exasperates, throwing herself beside juhi, "my eldest brother, jimin, he's fine mostly. but jungkook— gosh! he has no mercy! he can never leave me be!"

"well, your situation is kinda worse than mine. at least my dad isn't gere to watch me."

"i know, and jungkook is like a hawk over me." aera rolls her eyes, "he's so annoying y'know? yesterday i was about to stab him because he kept telling jimin oppa that i was sitting with a guy in the library. he's delusional,"

juhi laughs at the rant, then shuts up abruptly as ye professor walks in. her pulls on aera's arm to make her sit straight and nudges her to keep quiet now. aera just lets out a low giggle, resting back on her seat and legs stretched comfortably under the desk as she wore her cargo pants today and it made her feels like she was in heaven, sitting freely without worrying where the skirt might be going.

nobody really wore those, except for some guys— now come on, guys literally show up at college with the worst clothing. even her own brother didn't bother much, and just focused on his comfort, which narrowed his clothing style to just some jeans and sweats. girls were the ones who actually put effort in dressing up in the morning, from their fresh showers, to what they want to smell like today, make up, then clothes, and then matching shoes! it's a lot of work. for aera, all this hardwork depended on her mood. if she woke up happy, no mood swings, no pms, she would potentially be one of the most beautifully dolled up girls in the college despite just being a freshman, with pretty skirts or dresses, make up, and hairstyles.

sometimes she would be felling more her playful and boy-ish days, shorts, jeans, jumpsuits, cargos, tank tops, crop tops, would be her best friends, with her go-to high pony tail that always left her baby hair to stick out on her forehead and sides. and at last some deeply unfortunate days when aera hated everything, she wouldn't even bother showering and just grab whatever her hand landed on first. the condition once was so bad that jimin had to make her change thrice, saying she can't wear her pjs out.

"pst pst! aera!" a whisper makes it to aera's ear, making her turn around to the guy who's sitting behind her today. he sends her a nervous smile, holding out his hand subtle over her shoulder and aera frowns in confusion until he nods at his hand, showing her the little piece of paper.

"what's this?" aera asks as she opens it under the desk and frowns, sighing deeply once she's read what's written on it. "dude, are you serious?" she turns to the guy who's nervously chewing on his lower lip as he nods slowly.

"saturday?" he asks.

"bruh, look, i don't even know you," aera stares at him with disbelief, "why would i go on a date with you? and wait— what's your name?"

"jay," he says,

"what's going on there?" aera flinches as the a piece of chalk hits her arm and the professor is glaring in her direction. "miss jeon is something bothering you?"

"no sir," aera sighs, rubbing her arm as she stands up on her place, "i'm so—"

"this is the first and the last warning for you. disturb my class again, and you'll have to walk out."

aera nods slowly, sitting down again and takes a deep breath as she leans on her desk, jotting down whatever the old man was writing on the board. juhi sighs next to her, turning the pages of her textbook to correct lesson and points at the heading that the professor is teaching now.

"wow thanks," aera whispers, reading the lines then glances at the picture of some important personality next to it, which strikes an idea to her leisure mind. picking up her pencil, her hands starts sketching roughly around the edges and on the photo, until after a few minutes, she's transformed the beard-man of the textbook into a ballerina with ribbons floating around in a circular fashion.

"hey, juhi, look at this," she nudges her lightly, "isn't it funny?"

"aera, focus in the class," juhi tells her, pushing the book back and turns another page to let aera know that they've moved on.

"alright, but just look at this."

aera probably didn't realise that the professor has stopped speaking until another piece of chalk comes flying to hit her on the head this time, making her hiss in pain, shooting her gaze up with an angry frown, "who the fuc— oh..." she falls silent, gasping as the professor meets her eyes, and she finds herself slowly smiling awkwardly, "sir... i was just going to say how i miss your voice, please continue. i'm- i'm really paying attention," she laughs nervously while the students next to her sigh, "sorry...?"

"out," the man says, ignoring aera's pleading gaze on him. "this is not your school miss jeon. you're in a college now studying for your graduate's degree. be a little responsible!"

"but i'm sorry, sir. i won't do it again, i promise!" she beams confidently, standing on her place and turns to her friend, "hey, tell him i keep my promises,"

"aera, stop," juhi eyes her to shut up which only makes aera sigh.

"okay fine," she takes her book and her bag, disappointed in herself that even in college she's getting kicked out of the class. she mumbles another sorry, passing the professor, who just shakes his head, trying his best not to smile at aera's playful and childish behaviour, which she notices and grins at him, "you're smiling! i saw it!"

"leave!" he syas firmly, making her flinch as she takes a step back, head hanging low.

"sorry..." aera scrunches her face, heading out of the class and breaks into a grin as she stop by the window, glancing at juhi, "hey, i forgot my pencil, take it with you okay?"

juhi shakes her head, eyeing her to go as the professor inhales deeply in anger and marches to the door, "behave yourself miss jeon! see me in the dean's office after this!"

aera heaves out a deep sigh, walking in the empty hallway without any motive. she keeps the book in her bag and shoves her hand in the pockets of her pants, strolling lazily to the cafeteria, hoping to eat something at least before going to hear the dean and mr park both yelling at her in the office. finding her idea good, she enters the cafeteria, heading straight to the counter and asks for a milkshake and a sandwich.

there are just a few people here at this time, and surprisingly among these few people are her brother and his friends. "fuck!" she breathes out, turning to the counter guy again and leans over, "hey, do you have anywhere else to sit?"

"uh well, not really," he shrugs, "is everything okay?"

"no, you see that table with those gangster like boys?" she points at jungkook's table over her shoulder and the guy nods, "i gotta avoid them, please help me."

"alright but why? are they bullying you? we can complain to the council if that's the case."

"uhm i'll tell you later, what's your name? you're cute," she blurts, making the guy chuckle a little as he places her order on the counter and motions his hand towars the side from where she can go to his side of the counter if she wants. so aera agrees eagerly, sipping from her milkshake, almost getting in when jungkook's voice calls for her.

"ri? what are you doing here?" he asks very calmly, throwing his can of coke in the trash and turns to face the sister who shuts her eyes tightly, cursing at herself coming here. "shouldn't you be in class right now?"

"jungkook-ssi," the counter guy invades, "she's just a freshie, it's fine. carry on with your guys, do you want something?"

jungkook gives an amused smile to the guy and glances at his sister, "wow, you've got defenders girl."

"hey no, look," aera turns around finally, putting her milkshake down amd jungkook casually picks it up, sipping once and nods at the taste, "yah! it's mine you jerk!"

jungkook scoffs, pulling his hand back and gives a straight face to aera, "what are you doing here?"

"i am the older one, you obey me," jungkook flicks her forehead and looks at the counter guy, noticing his stare, "what? got a problem?"

"uh you both..."

"she's my sister, very bratty," jungkook shakes his head before turning to face aera and grabs her hand, smirking when she couldn't hit him, "you need to be faster than me,"

"asshole," aera mutters, pulling herself back and fixes her hair, walking away with her meal and sits on jungkook's place, giving him a mocking glare. "hello old people, i'm gonna sit here with you whether you like it or not."

"we don't have a problem," daniel says first, grinning at the girl and gives her a high-five, "but what are you doing here right now?"

"oh the professor kicked me out of the class," she sighs, taking a bite of her sandwich and looks over her shoulder as jungkook throws himself on the seat beside her. "don't ask me why, he just hates me already,"

"did you steal something from him?" jungkook scoffs.

"yes, attention," aera snickers, making the boys laugh except for two of them. jungkook and max. the former looks unimpressed with his sister's infamous techniques of always managing to get into trouble, while the latter male seems lost deep in thoughts, having his eyes fixed on the girl, which she probably notices after sometime and spares him a glance, arching up her brows to ask if he wanted to say something.

max snaps out kf it, shaking his head and looks away, grabbing his drink as he stands up, "guys i need to go, see you later."

"cool, see ya," minhyuk smiles, shifting towards his left as there's more space now.

"are you going to class now?" jackson stands up, "i'm coming too if you're going,"

"uh no no, i have some other work. i'm leaving,"  max smiles at them, a little nervous as he fiddles with his hands in front of him.

"oh well, that's fine. guess i'll be alone then," jackson sighs dramatically, waving at his friends and ruffles aera's hair, snickering when she whines and pushes his hand away.

max however bites his lip, staring at the young girl with a hooded gaze, almost letting out a groan on hearing her voice. though he keeps it together, heading straight to the restroom first before anyone, especially jungkook notices his uncomfortable situation all caused by aera sitting with them today and his mind refusing to stop wandering around places where it shouldn't.

aera finishes up her milkshake and sandwich, dusting off her hands and stands up as the bell rings, making her sigh, "okay i gotta go now. bye-bye danny oppa," she smiles, giving daniel a quick hug and then minhyuk, while sticking out her tongue at her brother.

"i'm gonna tell hyung," jungkook says.

"fifty bucks for you to keep your mouth shut," aera sighs.

"hundred," jungkook scoffs.

"i'll tell everyone about that girl,"

"there's no girl," jungkook squints and arra smirks at hin, shaking her head, "okay fine, seventy, your secret is safe with me."

"fifty,"

"sixty-five,"

"fifty, my dear jungkookie oppa," aera smiles, throwing away her trash and waves at him, "bye see you later! and good to know you have some girl!"

"you!" jungkook sneers, staring at the door of the cafeteria while his friends laugh at him, "i have the carziest sister in the world!"

"no, she's just cute and playful," daniel chuckles, "and she knows exactly how to push your buttons."

"i gotta use the restroom, let's go," minhyuk says, dragging the boys with him as jungkook keeps rambling about how annoying aera is at home, hiding his stuff or spying on him to use the information against him later and even blackmails him for the password of his own laptop after once accidentally cracking it and taking advantage of the moment.

jimin often avoided getting involved in their fights but at the end aera needed his support to win over jungkook. but that day when she got jungkook's laptop in front of her and surprisingly found a suspecious folder which jungkook still regrets naming biology when his subjects were completely different than science.

embarrassed would be an understatement to explain how jungkook felt aera made the elders sit in his room with the laptop on and the unholy video to jungkook's dismay playing. that's how cruel aera can be and jungkook learnt his little sister wasn't so little when it came to taking revenge. just a few days back he had busted her secret diary with pictures of hot actors to the eldest brother. jungkook was prepared for something from her, but he had never expected it to be to the extreme point where aera wouldn't hesitate making the elders go through jungkook's porn collection.

jimin and the rest were shocked and could feel the second hand embarrassment right through jungkook. after telling him to focus more of studies and do something productive rather than burying his eyes into watching strangers have sex all day, jimin had also talked to aera, telling her that it's not acceptable to invade someone's privacy like that. took some time, but aera apologized to jungkook and the elders for what happened.

"but didn't you wonder how she already knew about it?" minhyuk asks and that makes jungkook gasp at thought, wondering just how aera learnt about porn.

"fuck! you're right! she's so dead, now it's my turn." jungkook nods firmly, "watch out sissy, more secrets coming out today."

daniel and minhyuk laugh at his evil tone. the latter goes to open the door to the restroom, but stops hearing some low noises from inside. jungkook sighs deeply, entering inside with his boys even so. the groans come clearer now and they realise it's their friend max himself.

before the boys say anything to joke about the situation or interrupt max while he's nearly in heaven, a name slips out from his moaning mouth, filling the air to rise the tension and awkwardness among the listeners. jungkook takes a moment to acquire the face that his friend who's masterbating in a public place is actually moaning out his little sister's name.

anger riles up jungkook's insides, not waiting for another second and kicks on the door of the cubical max is in. the thin door opens at once, two bolts falling on the tiled floor which flinches max as he's zipping up his pants and his phone is placed on the of the flush with aera's picture displaying on the screen.

"you fucking bastard!" jungkook roars, gripping the guy's collar and pulls him out of the cubical, pushing him on the floor and kicks  his stomach harshly, making max groan in pain loudly. "i never would've believed you can be this filthy! do you look at your own sister like that?!" jungkook spits out in anger, clasping his fingers tight around max's throat while throwing continuous punches to his face, not even giving him the time to respond.

"jungkook," minhyuk tries to pull him away while daniel is standing by a urinal, whistling casually, earning a displeased glance from the former. "are you crazy?! stop him for fuck's sake!"

"why? max is fucking traitor and for what he did he deserves this," daniel scoffs, "don't stop kook,"

"god!" minhyuk exasperates, still pulling jungkook away as he sees max is bleeding pretty bad through his mouth and nose now and jungkook's grip on his neck doesn't seem like loosening either. "jungkook leave him! he'll die!" he pushes jungkook back and steps in front of him, holding him back as he makes him look at him,

"hey, calm down kook. it's enough, he's apologizing," the friend says and instantly turns to max who's now on the floor, leaning against the wall, groaning in pain, "yah! say sorry to him."

"i- i'm sorry..." max breathes out.

jungkook's about yo throw hands again when minhyuk holds him tight, "it's fine, he won't do it again, relax."

"you better stay away from my sister," jungkook threatens the injured guy, "or else be prepared for the worse. there's certainly no way i'll let you breathe peacefully if i ever see you anywhere around aera,"

"right," daniel nods, now approaching max and pulls him up by his collar, "i'll make sure he's thrown away, jungkook calm down." with that he drags max out of the restroom, leaving a few droplets of blood on the floor and some on the way behind him.

jungkook turns around as minhyuk leaves him now and looks for max's phone, suddenly remembering that he saw aera's picture in it. once he finds it and goes through the gellery, his jaw clenches in anger, seeing a bunch of her pictures all from different times taken sneakily. most of them are from the gym when she's playing or after that when she's drenched in sweat. all of her skirts and shorts ones are also there or when she would wear cro tops.

"this dude is crazy," minhyuk mutters and jungkook deletes all the pictures, checking for more, then breaks the phone into half and flushes it into the toilet.

"i should've killed him," jungkook mutters.

"and go to jail? yeah sure," minhyuk rolls his eyes, "no get your ass here and wash that blood off you,"

"oh..." jungkook nods, looking at his knuckles and sighs deeply, doing as his friend says. "do you think anyone will know?"

"that you almost murdered someone in here? well hopefully not," minhyuk sighs, "let's go,"

"you wanted to use the toilet...?"

"ah right," the boy nods, standing in front of the urinal and do does jungkook, both heaving out a deep breath, then stare at each other before bursting out laughing.

•••

"jeon jungkook! do you realise what you've done to max?! what exactly are you huh?! a thug?! this is the last warning i'm giving you, get this in your head, if you do not work on your behaviour you'll be expelled!"

"sir, i'm sorry for what happened. but you gotta hear me out too!" jungkook speaks, throwing daggers at max who's being assisted by a doctor as someone saw daniel taking him away. now daniel is suspended from the college for ten days.

"hear what from you?" the dean hisses, "just get out and only come back when you bring your brother with you."

"sir—"

"leave,"

jungkook sighs deeply, not uttering another word and storms out of the office, slamming the door shut behind him which he's sure made the dean more mad. at the end of the corner as he's fuming with rage, ignoring jackson, minhyuk and daniel following after him, matching with his furious pace of walking, he bumps into another body at the turning, almost cursing at the person, but stops on seeing it's his sister.

"can't you see?!" he glares at her, pushing her aside and continues walking, "i'm going home, come on your own when you're done with your classes."

"wait!" aera jogs to catch up with him and holds his hand to make him stop, "i heard you fought max, is it true? what happened?"

"get away from me," jungkook hisses, pulling his back, "it's all because of you," he mutters under his breath and aera halts with her movements, staring at him with questioning eyes.

"because of me? how?"

"fuck it! can't you just leave me alone for a second?!"

"no! because i was worried that you might hurt or something! but fine, if you don't wanna talk! go fight more people, do whatever you want i don't care! don't show me this attitude of yours!" aera retorts back, glaring at him and grips on the strap of her bag, walking away while jungkook stays put in his shoes, staring at her with guilty eyes now.

"ri," he calls softly, shoving past his friends to follow after his sister, "ri wait, i'm sorry,"

"no, don't be. it was my fault that i thought you might need someone to talk to you— to hear you out." aera grits, pushing his hand away. jungkook sighs softly, jogging up to stand in front of her and blocks her way, "get away,"

"i didn't mean to lash out at you," he mumbles, trying to hug her but the girl pulls away, "c'mon hug me back, i just fought an asshole,"

"why?" she asks, looking up at his face now letting him hug her as he wraps his arms around her, resting his chin on her shoulder, leaning down and sighs deeply, "are you hurt too...?"

"not really, i mean you do know what happens when you keep punching with bare hands," he chuckles lightly before pulling away and throws his arm around her shoulders, "let's get out of here, i'm not allowed in the premises anymore,"

"what?! who—"

"the dean," jungkook clicks his tongue, motioning his hand for his friends to leave as he's going too now.

"why did you fight though?" aera asks again.

"i'll tell you everything, let's get out of here first." he says and aera nods slowly, following him outside after texting her friend that she's leaving with jungkook already. as they sit in the car and the engines roars to life, speeding the car out of the parking lot and away from the college, aera turns to jungkook again, hoping to hear some information about what happened and how he managed to get himself suspended.

after driving farther away from the college, he pulls up a few blocks before their house, making aera frown, giving him a questioning look, "okay here's the thing," jungkook turns to her, "max was being a pervert. he had a bunch of pictures of you and i happened to see it. it got me mad and after that everyone knows what happened."

"what?! he had pictures of me?!" aera gasps, "what kind of pictures...?"

"not nudes, relax," jungkook sighs, "just of you from different places in the campus itself."

"oh... well, that's weird too... why would he do that?"

"he's fucking obsessed with you!" jungkook grits out, feeling the anger from earlier again but keeps it to himself, "the dean didn't hear me out and just saw that bastard bleeding like he'd die. he said i can't come back to college again if hyung doesn't go and personally talk to him."

aera's mouth forms an 'o' as she stares at him, nodding slowly at the seriousness of the situation, "that's a big issue... if jimin oppa comes to know that you've fought someone that bad, he's goona whoop your ass,"

"i know, but i do have a good reason this time!"

"yeah, i'll help you confront him okay? thanks for doing this for me," she smiles at jungkook and he smiles back, ruffling her hair.

"you're my sister, ri. even though you're annoying, i still love you."

"i'm not annoying but thanks," she sighs, "now let's go home,"

the drive home isn't long at all, it feels as if they reached there in just a blink. jungkook takes a deep breath, following aera inside who took the responsibility of handling things if they go too out of hand, knowing that jimin won't really scold her in this. to their dismay all the elder guys are at home today as though they already know something's going to happen.

nothing seems unusual to the younger siblings until hoseok frowns at them, giving them a mini heart attack thinking just maybe the dean might've already called home. jungkook curses under his breath, staying behind aera as they head to the living room, finding the rest of the elders.

"h-hey," aera smiles nervously, "what are you guys doing here?"

"we live here?" taehyung gives her a look, "what are you doing here at this time?"

"we live here too, surprise...!" aera laughs, posing awkwardly and winces when jungkook kicks her foot from behind, muttering her to behave normally, "haha i'm so funny tae oppa."

"uh yeah," he shrugs, "is everything okay?"

"how about you tell me that?" aera squints at him before jungkook said anything and steps forward, trying her best to test the elder to know whether they received any call yet or not.

"i'm pretty good..." taehyung steps back, "woah what's up with you today?"

"i'm good and kinda hungry," she smiles, sighing in relief.

"oh, come with me, i'll cook for my kids," jin says, patting aera's head and takes bith her and jungkook to the kitchen.

"but wha—"

"let's eat, kook," aera smiles at him, forcing him to take a seat and sits beside him, "we should eat first. what if they get too mad and refuse to give us food later?"

"...uh okay," jungkook nods, "them maybe we should sneak some snacks too for later,"

"yeah right, and change the wifi password."

"fuck right, you're a genius,"

"i know—"

"what's going on?" jimin voices, entering the kitchen and is soon standing behind the youngers with his arms crossed on his chest, "since when are you teo so close? and even started sitting together?"

"today," aera looks at jimin with a grin, "you always say we shouldn't fight, and i feel like you're right. so i'm being friends with kook,"

"yeah exactly," jungkook nods as well, "she's not that bad."

"weird," jimin nods suspeciously, almost going to say something else but his phone rings first, which he answers only after glancing at the youngers.

"shit! that was close," aera sighs deeply, watching jimin talking on the phone with a frown making it's way to his forehead and he looks over in their direction. "why's he looking at us?"

"maybe we're cute?" jungkook mutters, nit looking at the eldest brother at all.

"alright, i'll look into it. thanks for letting me know," jimin says before hanging up and stands in front of aera, "now let's not waste our time, what happened in college?"

"huh?" jungkook gulps thickly looking up, "uh why... do you... think something happened...?"

"because the professor called me,"

"it's—"

"i'm sorry," jungkook blurts and gives aera a nod, "it's okay ri, we gotta tell him."

"go on," jimin nods and aera does too.

"i'm sorry hyung, i didn't mean to hurt max that bad. i mean i did mean to... but it was because i was angry! how can he do that! the dean didn't even listen to me and just told me get out and not show up again without you. but i swear hyung, it's jot my fault. it was max! he had pictures of ri and he was... he was..." jungkook gulps, turning to aera and covers uer ears, "he was masterbating to ri's picture!"

jimin chokes on his saliva and jin does too, staring at jungkook with wide eyes as he exhales deeply, letting go of his sister and apologizes to her, "what? i gotta hear too it's about me. tell me." the girl emphasizes and jungkook shakes his head, making her groan as turns to jimin for an answer, "what is it oppa?"

"uh no-nothing, you go to your room. freshen up and eat something," jimin says clearing his throat, then glances at jungkook, "and you, come with me for a second."

"no wait," aera frowns, "what is it? tell me,"

"nothing that important, aera. go to your room," jimin sighs, patting her back and walks out of the kitchen with jungkook following after him quietly to the nearest room. once jimin has closed the door and made sure there's no else, particularly their sister listening, he takes a deep breath, facing jungkook and nods for him to start explaining.

"max... he used to hangout with us and he was always so weird i didn't pay attention to it earlier. like he would go to the gym at odd timing, skip his own lectures to go their. he would just stare at girls— at aera... i realised today. even today he said he had some work, but then we found him in the toilet. he was fucking moaning ri's name! i was so mad and we even had a fight. the dean saw him hirt and bleeding, i'm rusticated from college..."

jimin nods slowly, "did that guy ever do anything weird?"

"i don't think so, because nobody knew he was a creep. you won't believe hyung he had so many pictures of ri. he was obsessed!" jungkook exasperates, "and that's why i had to hit him and knock some sense into that shitty brain of his. i'm not at all sorry for what i did."

"kook, standing up for your sister is great, but you there's way of doing that." jimin sighs, "sit," he says, patting the boy's shoulder and pulls the chair from the desk to sit in front of jungkook, "there are a lot of people who would indulge in these kind of things. i'm not seeing it's right. it's wrong. very wrong. disrespecting boundaries, crossing lines and doing such inappropriate things with anyone is wrong. but buddy, there's a way to handle things. you got mad and fought that guy, he got what he deserved, but what about you? you got rusticated too even when it's not your fault. you should've complained against him in the board, or you should've told me. we'd definitely take an action."

jungkook nods slowly, now thinking with a calm mind as jimin strokes his hair. the elder's eyes scan the boy from head to toe, subtly checking for any injury that might be hurting the younger.

"i didn't think of anything at that time..."

"i understand, maybe i would've done the same if i came across such a situation," jimin says, "so don't worry, but yeah you should think before acting upon anything alright?"

"yes hyung," jungkook smiles, looking at the elder, "so you're not mad?"

"no," jimin sighs, "but i do assume that i need to visit the dean?"

"yep, and tell him why i fought. he wasn't listening to me and just kept yelling like a mad man."

jimin shakes his head, chuckling lightly and stands up, "go and get changed, jin hyung has baked muffins for you and ri,"

"ah yes, i'm hungry!" jungkook nods, heading out of the room and jimin too goes back to join the rest of the guys who are waiting for him with concerned expressions.

jimin explains them everything and also the need to visit college to talk with the dean about it, making the boys sigh deeply in disappointment that these kind of people persist in the society and make it a hell of a place.

"did you say anything to jungkook?" yoongi asks.

"not really, i don't blame him for reacting like that. any brother would beat the shit out of the guy who'd do something like this, especially when it's about their sister." jimin says with a light chuckle, "but my kids have always been number one in getting in trouble. i'm so used to it now. i wonder how nobody has complained about aera yet,"

"because i'm a nice student," aera says, sitting on the chair next to jimin and grins, "but if you wanna hear the professors complaining then i'll do something about it,"

"no need," jimin pinches her ear, "you go there to study, so focus on that. it's not a good habit to—"

"to disturb the class and not the let the teachers teach. i know that oppa," aera completes his sentence, laughing while the elders sigh, "but it's fun y'know? the professors here are all oldies and they get annoyed so easily. you should see them—"

"no, you'll behave yourself or else there are consequences,"

"like what?"

"like being grounded, cut down in allowance,"

"nooo! that's inhuman!"

"then you better learn to behave yourself," jimin chuckles and aera sighs, resting her head in her arms as she leans on the table.

"why am i the only who has to behave? why not you or jinnie oppa or hobi oppa or anyone!"

"because everyone else is already well behaved. there's only one naughty kid."

"people like your naughty kid though," aera grins, lifting up her head instantly as she's done whining now and stands up.

"alright, eat here naughty kid," jin says, placing a tray of freshly baked muffins.
