The next day, they met up with the lawyer. Hana and Yoongi both thought it was best to have Taehyung with them as well since he was the father figure for Ha Young.

"Hi. I'm Yoongi." He extended his hand for a handshake. Yoongi eyed the man and noted his beautiful features. He was tall as well. Not as tall as Jungkook or Namjoon but taller than Yoongi, that's for sure.

"I'm Taehyung." The younger man shook his hand and bowed.

"Hana has told me about you." Yoongi smiled. "Thank you for always taking care of her."

"Of course I would. I love her."

Yoongi choked on his own saliva. He turned to Hana who seemed unmoved by what Taehyung had just said.

"Hi Mr Min." The lawyer walked in, dressed impeccably in his suit.

Yoongi pushed the question he had for Hana and Taehyung aside. That can wait.

The talk they had with the lawyer went on for more than two hours, trying to figure out how they could get Ha Young back.

"So basically you're saying there's no way for me to get full custody?" Hana's voice cracked.

Yoongi held her hand tighter for support. He liked it when she'd respond to his squeeze by squeezing back. What he didn't like was Taehyung rubbing her back the whole time.

That's okay Yoongi. They've been friends forever. He's just a dongseng.

"Like I said, this is our only legal option. And you have to move into the apartment as soon as possible." The lawyer leaned in closer to Hana. "We'll appeal for shared custody. You were the one who had been taking care of Ha Young."

"And if their lawyer says no?" Taehyung asked, hand still on Hana's back, Yoongi noticed.

"Then if you still want to fight, we'll take it to court. But I'll be honest, it's going to be messy." The lawyer said. "Let's try to avoid that."

When they were done, Hana gave the lawyer the contact information of her ex-parents in law's legal representative. She looked so down, Yoongi's heart felt crushed for not knowing what to do.

"Noona," Taehyung turned to Hana after the lawyer left. "I'm calling mom and dad to talk to Ha Young. I'll put it on speaker, okay?"

Hana nodded so fast her body shook a little. She had tears in her eyes and her lower lip seemed red, as she had been biting on it to stop the tears from falling.

"Hello?"

"Hi ommonim."

"Yeah?"

"Can I talk to Ha Young for a while?"

"Is she there?"

"Noona? No. I'm at home."

There was a pause, as if Taehyung's mom was contemplating on whether to let him talk to her or not.

"Hold on." She finally said.

On the background they could faintly hear the older woman talking to the little girl.

"Hello...?"

Hana broke down in tears with her hands clamping over her mouth, not wanting to make any noise, in case her ex-mother in law put the phone on speaker.

"Hey baby..." Taehyung spoke so gently. Yoongi couldn't help but feel a little bit irritated. He wasn't sure why though.

"Appa..." Ha Young started crying.

Yoongi felt bad about the whole thing but his irritation just went up when he heard Ha Young calling Taehyung appa.

"Don't cry baby. Appa will come and see you soon, okay?" Yoongi could see Taehyung was tearing up as well, his voice cracked at the end.

"I want eomma too..." The little girl started wailing.

By now, Hana was kneeling on the floor, shoulders shook from controlling her sobs.

Yoongi sat next to her and pulled her to his embrace. She buried her face into his chest and he stroke her hair gently.

Yoongi wouldn't be able to imagine what she must have been feeling. He couldn't empathize it. What he was sure of was he didn't like seeing her broken down.

"I know. Appa and eomma are working hard to get you back, okay?" Taehyung was already sobbing, listening to Ha Young's sobs.

"Okay that's it. She needs her nap now." With that the phone went dead.

Hana broke off from Yoongi's embrace to go to Taehyung and they hugged each other for the longest time.

Yoongi was chewing the insides of his cheek from trying to control his annoyance. That's okay Yoongi ah. They're brother and sister.

Or so they say.

Shit.
