A/N POV---

For the last ten minutes you've been trying to do your brother's hair. Jungkook was extremely sleepy and wasn't really paying attention to what you were doing. He was initially sitting on the couch working on something as his graduation ceremony was done last week. He said he'd relax and do nothing for at least ten days.

You were playing with his hair, doing them into pig tails or just trying to curl them with your fingers as he had grown them long. Long enough to cover his eyes if he lets them down on his face. And you liked his new hairstyle. His hair was black, soft, fluffy and he wasn't bothered by you touching them.

You smiled widely looking at the sleeping Kook, proud of your work. You turned and grabbed your phone from the table and snapped a picture. Your nose scrunched up as you realised the flash wasn't turned off, and that woke him up. He looked at you and sat straight making you almost lose balance and fall back as you were sitting on his lap. Despite of just waking up, he was fast enough to grab your arm.

"What were you doing?" He asked.

"Nothing" you giggled. He raised his eyebrows at you, then sighed and removed the rubber band from his hair, making you pout.

"Why did you remove it?" You said, looking at the yellow rubber band that he just gave you.

"Don't do all that with my hair." He said.

"It was so cute..." You mumbled.

"It was?" He asked. You nodded and showed him the picture. He laughed and ruffled your hair, "fine you can do it later."

"Really?" You asked. He nodded.

"You don't wanna sleep?" He said.

"Nope"

"Why not? Let's sleep. The hyungs will take at least an hour to get back home."

"How'd you know?"

"Hobi hyung texted." He mumbled as he hugged you making you lay your head on his chest while he rested back on the couch.

"I can hear your heart beat Koo" you said, trying to listen more carefully.

"Really?" He asked chuckling. You nodded.

"Jimin oppa said heartbeat is beautiful." You told him.

"Hmm," he nodded, "do you find it beautiful?" Jungkook asked.

"Yeah, I mean its not bad." You said, he laughed at your answer. "Uh can we eat something first?" You asked, once you realised you haven't eaten anything after breakfast.

"Then go and eat. There must be something in the fridge." He said. You stood up from his lap and headed to the kitchen.

You looked in the cabinets and in the fridge just to find them all empty.

"Where did everything go? I remember seeing snacks..." You mumbled to yourself, staring at the now empty cabinets.

Nutella, that's all you saw in the fridge, oh and milk, which is a big no for you. There was vegetables and meat and all, but cooking is something beyond your capability. You sighed and took the jar out and sat on the counter with a spoon in your hand.

"I love you" you whispered to the jar, which had chocolate.

The first dip of the spoon into the jar and your mouth watered. Licking your lips, you brought the spoon closer to your mouth while smiling widely. This was heaven in your eyes. You and your Nutella, and no one to disturb. Perfect!

After three or five spoons, you had chocolate dripped in your shirt and a little around your lips. Your eyes caught the drop just about to fall from the spoon, you instantly came in action and saved it from falling as you licked it.

"Y/N-ah?"

The jar slipped from your hand by the sudden voice of your brother. You gasped and carefully got off the counter, the glass jar was now in peices. You didn't worry about the jar though, the chocolate inside it was of more importance for you.

"Stupid Jungkookie" you muttered, staring at the chocolate on the floor.

"What was that noise? What are you doing?" Jungkook walked in the kitchen. And oh-

He winced as you gasped on seeing him step on a peice of glass. You were ready to run to him, but motioned his hand telling you stay where you are. You stepped forward anyway,

"Y/N don't move." He said, "you'll hurt your feet."

"But you-"

"I'm okay" he said, "just stay there. I'll clean this first."

You saw the blood slowly dripping from his foot on the tiled floor, staining it in dark red. You could feel the chills down your spine. It felt like you were being hurt again, all the cuts and all the scars that you gave to yourself started feeling real again. Your hands trembled as you were about to lose balance. A tear slipped down from your right eye.

"O-oppa" you said in a shaky voice.

"Hmm I'm almost done." He said and picking the last few peices of glass.

He threw them away and sat on one of the kitchen stools, then looked at you. He frowned on seeing you nearly crying. He gestured you to come to him.
You hugged him and started sobbing.

"I'm sorry" you said.

"Hey its fine, I'm okay. Don't cry" he said, carressing your back.

"N-no you're hurt. I didn't wanted to h-hurt you. I promise. P-please I'm sorry..." You cried. "They will say I-I'm being bad again."

That's when Jungkook realised what you were talking about. The blood from his injured foot had triggered your hard experience with wounds. He felt bad for you, and hugged you tighter.

"Shh, you didn't hurt me. It was an accident, and accidents happen alright? You're not being bad. Look at you, you are worried for me, that's called being nice not bad." He said and wiped your tears. "Don't cry, I'm okay. And it was just an accident."

"But your foot, there's b-blood.." you said.

"It'll be fine in no time, it doesn't even hurt that much."

"I'm s-sorry oppa..." You mumbled.

"You don't h-"

"We're home!"

You gasped and looked at Jungkook with a scared expression. He gave you a comforting look 'its-fine-dont- worry'.

"Kook! Y/N! Where are you two?" You heard Jimin's voice.

"In the kitchen" Jungkook said.

"Oh so yo-"

"What is that?!" Jin freaked out. "Blood?!!"

"What? Blood?"

"Blood?! Where?!"

"Oh my God!!"

They all looked confused, but Yoongi looked a little terrified as if he was praying for it to not be what he was thinking. His eyes landed on you, and your red eyes met his, triggering the tears again. Though you were quick to look away.

"Oh Jungkook-ah!" Jin gave a worried look and checked his foot. "Get me the first aid kit."

Hoseok grabbed box and placed it next to Jin as he started cleaning Jungkook's wound.

"How did you get hurt?" He asked.

"Well I d-"

"Let it be, that chocolate explains pretty much everything." Namjoon said chuckling, while he pointed at the nutella chocolate on the floor.

Jin diverted his gaze for a second noticing the mess he had missed earlier. He shook his head and wrapped the bandage around Jungkook's foot. Yoongi heaved a sigh of relief and glanced at you. Jimin nudged Yoongi, asking him to come with him for a second. Yoongi nodded and followed behind the younger.

"Is it just me or Y/N's eyes really appear as if she cried?" Jimin asked.

"You too?" Yoongi asked. "I noticed it as well. She looks scared about something. Do you think Jungkook scolded her or something?"

Jimin chewed on his lower lip as he thought about it then shook his head.

"He won't do that. In fact she wasn't ready to leave his hand. I don't think he said anything." He said, making the older nod in agreement.

"I just hope she's okay. She hasn't acted like that for a while now." Yoongi said.

"Hmm" Jimin nodded and went back to where the others were, just find that expect you everyone was there.

"Hyung?" Jungkook called.

Jimin and Yoongi looked at Jungkook, waiting for him to continue.

"You should, maybe talk to Y/N and tell her that its not her fault. She was crying so much. And she said that the others will call her bad again." Jungkook said with a worried expression.

Jimin nodded and glanced at Yoongi, who had a serious face.

"And also... maybe, cook something. Cuz she was hungry. She didn't eat anything since morning." He added.

.....

"Princess?" Jimin knocked on the door.

"Yes?" You replied.

"Can you open the door?" He asked.

"Yeah just a second."

Jimin smiled at you and showed the tray of food to you.

"I'm not that hungry." You said.

"Oh okay" he said, coming inside when you stepped aside. "Then this will be wasted."

You stared down while following behind him quietly and sitting on the bed. You weren't necessarily sad, just a little confused. You thought you were fine now, but what happened today, scared you. You realized you weren't fine and probably won't be.

"Well, just so you know. I am hungry." Jimin said. You looked up at him and tilted your head to the side.

"You didn't eat?"

Jimin sighed and crossed his arms, "How do you expect me eat when my princess is starving herself?" He said, softly.

His words touched deep inside you. You stared at him with glassy eyes, making him chuckle softly. He shook his head and cupped your cheek.

"I'm sor-"

"Shh" he hushed you, shaking his head. "Don't tell me you're sorry or anything. Food is going to help us." He said, making you chuckle as you wiped away your tears and nodded.

He fed you and took little bites for himself in between, then kept the tray away. Once his hands were free, you quickly crawled to him and laid on his lap. Jimin smiled and carressed your head.

"Oppa" you said, he hummed in response, "will I never be okay?" You asked. "I thought I was doing fine, but when Kookie got hurt, I felt like that again... It was bad."

"I told him I was sorry and I didn't wanted to hurt him. He said it was okay and it wasn't my fault. I wanted to believe him. But I..." You looked at him and pointed at your head, "I couldn't."

Jimin stared at you with empathy in his eyes. Hearing such things from his little sister were hard to grasp. The girl he had technically raised, since she was baby he has been by her side. And when that girl doubts herself, struggles against herself, it breaks his heart. He leaned in and kissed your forehead and spoke,

"You are doing good. Very good in fact. And everybody has hard times in their life, and they all rise above that, maybe not very soon but they definitely do. You will too, I know. You've been brave and strong for so long that its your habit now; and lemme tell you" he said then leaned down to whisper something, "you're already getting better, don't you think?"

You thought for a moment and nodded.

"And what happened with Kookie, was an accident. Remember when Mom said I dropped him when he was a baby?" He said, making you laugh a little as you nodded your head, "Mom and Dad didn't scold me, 'cause they knew it was an accident. And accidents take place, we don't blame ourselves or others for something that happened by accident." He said.

"Is he okay?" You asked.

"Yeah, he's enjoying it now"

"Really? How?"

"He's bossing around saying he can't move because he's injured." Jimin said laughing a little.

"Stupid Jungkookie" you said shaking your head. Jimin chuckled.
