Jimin's P.O.V.
"You mean about your childhood?"

"Yes." Jimin answers politely and bowed.

Mr. and Mrs. Jeon stops for a moment, looking at each other as they think of some ideas before answering the younger. When the right timing came, Mr. Jeon signals his wife with a nod and his hand gesturing up and down slowly.

"I'm afraid that you'll get disappointed if I tell you dear. But, how much do you remember so that we're aware?" Ms. Jeon asks sincerely.

This affects Jimin to get a little nervous, "Is it really something to be disappointed of?"

"No dear, but it'll be more confusing for you if we explain to you of what happened, we're only able to know the minor things that happened." Mr. Jeon states.

"Then...who should I ask Mr. Jeon?" He asks.

"My nephew Namjoon." That shocked Jimin and gasped.

"Namjoon hyung— I mean Mr. Namjoon?!" He almost exclaimed which surprised the married couple.

"I'm guessing you already know him since you two go to the same school as well as his brothers." Ms. Jeon chuckles, "Is he aware of your gender secretion?"

"No, but his brother does." Jimin honestly answers.

"Taehyung," Mr. Jeon nods and speak again, "Both of you are in the same class as far as we checked on Emerald school. He's a trusted person so I guess both of you'll be fine since he's a good kid."

"Well he have a connection to your past but I think Namjoon doesn't really know a lot about about you in casual way." Mrs. Jeon continues.

"Is he my.... childhood friend?" Could it be Namjoon hyung is the same boy that I left with a misunderstanding behind?

"I'm not sure of that dear, but he was your friend before. Maybe he's too forgetful that he can't recognize you as who you are before." Ms. Jeon explains.

So this could be the reason why he is so kind to everyone, I've these on few novels that my co-workers her that lent me before but, maybe he's trying to hide his inner a—

"YOU'RE DISGUSTING!" A voice suddenly came up to me.

Why... why do I feel like it's not him? That it someone else that time...

Is it because I don't think he was never like that? He's never been disgusted towards to any gender or sexuality. Or maybe I'm just denying the fact that it's.......

"Jimin, it's fine if we explain to you if you can't ask him—"

"I will!" I cut them off then looked away.

Third Person's P.O.V.
"I can do it." He says that worried Ms. Jeon as she sees his dulled eyes. "Can I have a free time tomorrow afternoon?"

The elders look at each other, Mr. Jeon see his wife nod before lookingtogether to Jimin again. "Of course, just, just be careful okay?"

Jimin nodded from the statement of course and bowing, but before he leaves, he asks a question to them for the last time.

"Do I have any memories such as pictures or any momento that my mom left me?" He asks, secretly gripping his long skirt on his side.

"I'm afraid she didn't my dear." Ms. Jeon said and the younger felt like crying in disappointment and frown.

The elder lady frowns as well and speaks up, "We'll do our best to search around–"

"Ah, you don't have to Ms. Jeon I'm good, I just want to know. I caused so much trouble to you so that's enough now, have a good day." He says in a fast talking, bowing to them before getting out of the room.

The couple were left and sighed at the younger's actions. "He's really like his mother." Ms. Jeon commented.

"Are you sure he'll be fine to know everything by himself?" Her husband asked.

"He can handle himself, for now let's just let them have their own problems including Yerin's issue for the past 15 years and about her brother."

"I heard that their already getting running to each other lately." Mr. Jeon stated.

"But their not getting along so well. I wonder why..."

~~~~

"You're back..." Jimin says in surprise, seeing Yerin on her clothes that she just wore on school earlier today.

"I'm sorry that I've come late, it's a good thing we bought a couple of spare keys." Yerin answers, fixing her bed.

The younger looks onto his bed and sees a pair of pajamas lying on it. Ending up for him to be doubtful towards his noona since she's acting all nice and strange again.

"Did something happened?" It was a simple question but it made the older snapped.

"Um, nothing! Why did you ask?" She says leaving no suspiciousness to her tone as if it's natural that Jimin almost fell for it.

"Are you sure?" He asks again and Yerin nods.

"Jimin seriously what is wrong with you right now?" She says in a funned tone.

He sighs, he thinks that maybe it's really just him who's think differently today because of solving his own mystery about his own childhood past. His amnesia hit him hard to have the urge of remembering the blurry pictures of the boy's unknown memories.

Even if it would hurt him, it's what he wants after all.

Meanwhile when Jimin got changed to his clothes and the both of them are already lying down on their own beds, the younger speaks up again out of the blue.

"Noona," he calls as he adjusts his blanket upwards to prevent his body to be cold.

"Jimin?" She answered and looks to her side where Jimin lies on his bed.

"Did you know that I used to live here with my mom? She's a maid here too before..." He asks, staring at the ceiling with a blank expression on his face.

"You mean....."

"Park... Park Miyeo..." He continued.

"Yeah, I know your mother but I'm not really sure about you..." She tells him while thinking about it as well.

Jimin sits up and looks right to his noona when he heard him, "What about a boy named Namjoon? Or Taehyung?"

He starts to asks more, Yerin sits up too when she noticed that he's been really interested to know something throughout those questions.

"Jimin, those are Mr. and Mrs. Jeon's nephews." She stated, a little weirded.

"I know, I know, Ms. Jeon said that I can ask Namjoon hyung about my past."

"Your past?" Yerin was indeed motivated to know more of what the hell is happening to her dongsaeng. "What are you trying to say Jimin? What happened to your past?"

"You see... My mother used to work here, and I was still a toddler when I had my first step in this place. I really think that I had a boy here who used to play with me before. But I never saw him again when the accident happened." He tells his noona while fidgeting his thumbs together.

"Oh! So you were the child that was brought home and sent to Ms. Yoo after few weeks or more?!" She almost exclaims, shocking and intrigued Jimin.

"Yeah I was that child! How did you know?" He wonders.

"Jieun unnie took care of you since me and the other maids that are around my age are not yet capable of taking care of you, I saw you on your room except your face. Your skin was pale white conpared to your rosy skin today and so skinny. I didn't notice that you were moved to Ms. Yoo's house when her family decided to adopt you. I only knew it a week after you were adopted." She narrated.

Jimin chuckled by how his noona described him, a little disappointed that he clearly doesn't have any traits of being a normal boy before, even now.

"I guess I got it from my mom." He stated and Yerin snorted.

"Lucky you, now you look so much prettier than any girls. Especially that the heir that all of our fellows are going crazy over, is trying to get you married to you." She joked.

"Hah! As if he will!...." He says in a low volume, not wanting to get heard by any maids or Jungkook though the walls are sound proof but not a hundred percent.

"Besides he only want my company to help him to recover from his childhood tragedy...or maybe even my body as well." He still doesn't trust him.

"That's possible. But what do you mean childhood tragedy?" She asks out of the blue.

"He asked me not to tell anyone about it but I'll tell you, just don't tell anyone." Yerin nodded in response and adjust herself in her bed.

"So what is it?"

"He's got trust issues about everyone's gender, I assume. But he's also afraid of girls and feminine boys, much more like me." Which made Yerin gasp.

"Then how you will get this over?" She asks, getting a little worried.

"That's the main question, how?" He licked his lips before continuing. "That's why I was accompanied by Mr. and Ms. Jeon one time ago."

"That's good. What are your plans?"

"I was still confused to what will be my real decision. But I'm planning to be friends with Jungkook and eventually make the tradition fail. We're not destined to each other afterall."

"You won't tell him the truth?" That triggered Yerin's heart as if she was stabbed of her own question.

What are you hiding Yerin?

"I won't, it would be better not to tell him so that after the ball, we can change our room and still live normally until we retire. maybe I'll take my second option of retiring so that I can still fulfill Ms. Jeon wish." He said.

"What the hell? I'm confused. Now you're talking as if I you can easily change our room and you have a wish from Ms. Jeon to command?" She asks in disbelief.

"Why not? It's not only for me, it also for you." He says and continues. "I am not sure if you have problems so when we finally get a new room and feel like we would start again, but I know you're having a hard time over something.

Yerin stares at him, his concern towards her as his dearly friend was shown that it made her feel so cherished once more. Jimin just wants her to have a simple life.

"Are really happy with Mr. Hoseok?" He asked that made the older snap.

"What the hell?" She groaned, hearing Hoseok's name with that question made her felt the mixture of frustration and confusion.

She is happy, but how come as she keeps risking herself just to be with him, the more guilty that she feels and he can't keep it up.

"I am..." She says as she looks down, eyes are starting to become dewy without Jimin seeing them.

The younger sighs, "Why don't you just tell Ms. Minrin, noona?" He asked.

"....I'm afriad." She said shortly and he sighs once again before getting out of his bed and sat beside her.

"You know, being a coward is worser than not telling the truth. If you're afraid to risk then you're not going anywhere, maybe you'll just go even lower than where you are right now. Sad, alone, and broken." He said.

"But even if I take the risk of telling her the truth, I'll still become—"

"Use your head noona." he scolded, "Taking risks mean that you're making decisions you won't regret."

He gets ups from her bed and went back to his own, lying down with his back facing her.

"It's not for me or anyone else noona, you would rather choose to be happy for your own life or for other's happiness. This is about you, love yourself."

Then everything went silent after those final words of this night. A very silent night once again that cut the great and not so great day of the two friends.

An hour after their conversation, Yerin was left all awake about what Jimin told her that is the same as Hoseok also said to her.

Thinking, she doesn't really want to be selfish nor receive the token of having a life of pity where she'll watch her love to be apart from her.

But she just doesn't want to avoid Minrin from being hurt, Yerin also wants to protect someone against also someone in this family she's been working for years.

Someone she's been looking out for almost two decades. And she doesn't want anyone to get hurt in this household, not even Hoseok.

"I'll find the right time..." She says, ignoring the heavy feeling on her chest before drifting off to dream world.

When will that right time come?

A/N: Hi lovelies! I'm here now, comin' at 'ya

I was really planning an update prank but that would be too harsh since I don't update often so here's 2000+ words for y'all.

Can you answer/guess to these questions? :

1.) Who do you think is the person that Yerin is trying to protect? (Name only)

2.) Who is Yerin's brother? (Name only)

3.) Do you think Namjoon is Jimin's childhood friend? (this is an obvious one tho, spoiler alert)

4.) Does anyone still want to have this Character info thingy or this cast Q&A?

P.s, except for the one who commented from the previous chapter, shout out to you lovely!

5.) shall i have a voting goal in order to update the next chapter/s?

Just answer them with one name/word since it's just yes/no and character guessing.

[  And about the 5th question, I think I'll do that so that I can monitor how much people wants to have an update from me. If it'll have up to 15-20 votes or something, that would do, possibly.  ]

That's all for today! Bye lovelies!

Xx, Yeni 💕
