A/N POV---

Max had dropped you in front of your house and you were slowly walking towards the backyard, where your window opens. Above. You stared at the window, thinking how to climb there. Clay didn't teach you to climb. You sighed and walked to back door near the kitchen, hoping your brothers would be asleep. But wait, when Max called, they were awake. You inhaled deeply and carefully twisted the door knob. Not making any noise, you stepped in and closed the door.

You heard the television on. Perfect they're not in the way. Increasing pace by a little, you headed to the stairs. A sigh of relief left your mouth as you opened the door. Wait. Opened the door? You remember locking the door. You frowned and pushed it open.

"I did lock the door.." You mumbled to yourself.

"Yes, and we unlocked it."

You froze as you spot your brother sitting on your bed, with his arms crossed and a peircing gaze.

"W-we?" You asked, gulping hard.

"Yeah."

You turned around to see the other two standing behind you. Their expression was serious. Like angry type of serious.

"I'm sorry." You said in a low tone, staring at the floor.

"For what?" Jimin asked.

"...sneaking out" you said after a pause.

"And?" Taehyung added.

"...lying to you." You said.

"Is that it?" Jungkook asked. You remembered about Max. But you nodded your head.

"That's it..." You said.

"Y/N don't lie to me." He spoke and stood up.

"I spoke to Max" you said in a scared tone.

"Hmm and?"

"Went with him in the car"

"Alone?"

"....half way alone"

Jungkook exhaled deeply. He was angry. Jimin and Taehyung too.

"I'm sorry. I won't do anything like this again. I promise. I'm sorry." You said.

"Sorry doesn't fix it Y/N" Jungkook said. "I didn't believe Max because I trusted you that you wouldn't lie to us. But you did." He spoke, his voice hinting disappointment.

A tear rolled down your cheek after listening to his words. You felt so bad and angry at yourself. You broke their trust. If sorry doesn't work then what will work to fix this? You looked at him. He was really disappointed.

"Kook-"

"No Y/N, you've been a bad girl." He said, making your cry even more. You don't wanna be a bad girl.

"I'm sorry" I said, wiping your tears.

You turned to Jimin and went to him. But He just stared at you with hurt in eyes. And his expression was cold.

"Oppa.." You whimpered. He stepped back, while his strong gaze was fixed on you.

"Who did you sneak out with?" Taehyung asked, sternly.

"..."

"Who!" He said loudly.

"C-Clay.." you said immediately.

"Those guys, I swear I'll break their bones." Jungkook said in his deep angry tone. "And you." He pointed at you, "-are not going to meet them anymore."

You nodded gradually as fresh tears began pooling in your eyes. You looked at Jimin, who hasn't spoken a word till now. His scoldings won't hurt, the way his silence was digging graves inside you. You gulped placed your hand on his arm. But he pulled his hand away.

"Oppa...please.. I'm sorry." You said. He didn't speak.

"Op-"

"What!? What do you want him to say!?" Jungkook shouted, you flinched by his sudden loud voice. "Do have any idea how worried we were? He was blaming himself for you lying to us! We worried sick about you! How stupid are you to not understand that!? Are you not aware of what type people are out there at night!? Someone could've kidnapped you and do god knows what with yo-"

"Jungkook that's enough."

A calm voice entered your ears. It was Yoongi, he stood by his door and listening to your conversation. He shot strict stares at you as you cried by Jungkook's outburst.

"Hyung you don't know what she's done." Jungkook said.

"I know" the older spoke calmly. His voice somewhat felt soothing to you. Not realizing it, you hugged him and cried on his chest. You weren't bothered by the fact that he didn't hug you back. You just wanted someone to hug and cry on. Yoongi was the best person, when Jimin was mad at you.

You felt someone grab your arm and pull you away from Yoongi. Jungkook. He's furious by all of this.

"Listen, you've been enough of a crybaby and n-"

"Jungkook." Jimin finally spoke.

"What? You're asking me to stop? Weren't you mad at her?"

"I am. But that doesn't mean we won't watch our words." Jimin spoke then turned to you.

"What you did is very bad. You lie to us, sneak out, talk to strangers, ride in the car with them, and try to hide all of this from us. Do you think it was a good idea?" He spoke.

You shook your head while sniffing and rubbing your eyes as you wiped the tears.

"Do you think you should be punished?"

You nodded your head. You sure were a crybaby. That hit you hard, maybe harder because it was your brother speaking. You hadn't let out a tear since you heard that word from him. Yoongi had noticed, when you wiped away the tears on Jungkook calling you a crybaby. He knew Jungkook had done the damage.

"Hmm" Yoongi nodded firmly, "Stay in your room. You're grounded for the whole month. Your phone will be with me. You'll go to school and come back home straight." He said. You nodded. Its not that bad, unless your brothers stop talking to you.

"You wanna say something?" He asked you.

"Sorry.." you said. Jimin looked away. Was he really that mad? You stood in front of them with your head hanging low. There was silence for a few minutes, before Jungkook finally broke it.

"How did you get out of the house?"

"Clay came and took me.."

"He came in?" Jungkook was speaking clearly annoyed. You nodded slowly, "How?"

"W-window.." you said.

"He freaking entered your room and took you out!? Are you out of your mind!?" Jungkook yelled at you. "What did you guys exactly do!?"

"..."

"Speak!!"

"W-we went to Jake's apart-ment..and watched movies." You said. Your barely came out, you were too scared to speak.
Jungkook breathed out in anger, running his hand through his hair. And for some reason you thought he was going to hit you. As in reflex, you shut your tight and lifted your hands in front in defense. A small whimper escaped your mouth as you said 'no', so he won't hurt you.

The boys froze at their spots. Taehyung gasped, Jimin glared at Jungkook and Yoongi had unnoticingly stepped forward. Jungkook's hand stopped in mid air, he looked at how scared you were. Even the other boys had thought he was going to hit you. His hand dropped to his side as he moved forward and and lowered your hands.

You wiped the tears, so he won't see them and you won't be a crybaby. You were too scared to realise the vulnerability in his voice and the hurt in his eyes, that was there due to the way you reacted when he lifted his hand. You knew he would never hurt you. But still, you didn't know why your body reacted that way. Maybe because he was so angry and wasn't thinking straight.

"O-ppa I'm sorry, I'm sorry please..." You spoke in one breath while stepping back. You looked over to Jimin, his gaze was more soft now, enough to trigger your tears. You hugged him and cried in his chest. He slowly patted your back, knowing that you were scared.

"He wasn't going to hurt you" Jimin spoke softly. You didn't seem to listen to him and just continued crying. You really thought he would slap you or something. He had never been this angry. And today was enough for you to make you aware of the fact to never get on his angry side.

"I'm sorry.. I will li-isten to you always and n-never lie to you." you said between sobs. You wanted to stop being the crybaby but your eyes didn't cooperate.

"Shh" Jimin rubbed your back, "Don't cry" he spoke softly. He sat you on your bed and gave you a glass of water while he he knelt down in front of you.

"Better now?" He asked, placing away the glass. You sniffed and rubbed your eyes, clearing your vision to see Jimin. Your hiccups were the only thing heard in the room until Jimin spoke.

"Y/N-ah, Jungkook wasn't hurting you. We know he was angry, but he will never hurt you. You know that right?"

You nodded after a moment. Jungkook truly scared you today. He was a whole different person.

"We were worried about you. And when we came to know you were with Max, Jungkook got even more worried. That's why he was acting like that."

"He still loves me right?" You asked, in your -now- hoarse voice.

The boys felt their hearts sinking at your question. Jungkook had got tears in his eyes, regretting everything he had said in anger. He hated it that his sister was doubting his love for her because of his stupid behaviour. He let anger take the best of him.

Jimin quickly nodded and cupped your face, "He loves you and will always love you more than anything."

"He- I... I am sorry, I shouldn't have behaved badly." You said. Jimin nodded.

"You did behave badly, but we're happy you realised it. You did right?" He said. You nodded immediately.

"I did, and I won't do something like this again." You said.

"Remember your punishment?" He asked. You nodded.

"I deserve it." You said.

"I love you, we all love you always remember that." He patted your head and told you take some rest.

The boys left, and walked to Jimin's room to have a small meeting. Jungkook didn't utter a word. His mind was busy playing the clip of you being scared of him.

"Jungkook its okay, she's fine. I talked to her." Jimin said.

"No hyung, did you see her? She was trembling...s-she thought I'd hurt her. But you know I would never ever hurt her." Jungkook said in an airy voice.

"Kook she was just scared. We were mad at her, that's she did like that. She knows you wouldn't hurt her." Yoongi said. Taehyung nodded and patted the younger's back.

"I'm a bad brother.." Jungkook said.
"My sister shouldn't be scared of me.. I messed up hyung."

"No Jungkook. Stop thinking like that, we all know she just misunderstood." Jimin said standing up and hugging his younger brother. Jungkook hugged back, letting a tear roll down to Jimin's shoulder on his shirt.
