Areum put the books in her locker while Jennie stood by the side. She felt a pair of eyes on her and she turned to look at Jennie.
"Why are you staring at me like this?"
"You are very pretty. I cannot keep my eyes off you", came the reply to which Areum flushed a deep red. Jennie smirked seeing how shy Areum got.
Just when she was about to say something, a voice interrupted them. "If this isn't the most disgusting sight in the world"
The girls looked back to see a tall guy staring at them. Shim Hansul. The school bully.
"What do you want Hansul", Jennie snapped standing protectively in front of Areum.
"Nothing", the boy chuckled. "I just want to bully my favourite victim", he bent and glanced at Areum who just shielded herself behind Jennie, trembling in fear.
"Leave us alone and get the fuck out of here", Jennie was fuming now. "If you bother us again Hansul, I will kick your nuts all the way up to your throat"
The boys behind Hansul hooted as the guy's face turned bitter, anger flashing on it. "You and your little chick here will pay for your words", he spat at her.
"The only one paying will be you - and that is for your Ballsack surgery if you don't take that ugly face and leave this instance", she stepped towards him but stopped when Areum put a hand on her shoulder and pleaded her to let go.
Hansul smirked. "Will see about that Kim", with that he moved away only to stop and wink at Areum whose entire body shut down because of past memories of him bullying her came to her mind.
Jennie's eyes softened as she looked at Areum who looked like she was about to cry. "Its okay, he won't do anything", she cupped the younger girl's cheeks. "Now cheer up, I will buy you Boba", her gummy smile made Areum loosen up a little as both of them left hand in hand.

EunHa came home from work as she put her purse on the table. She was early and was surprised to see a pair of black boots belonging to one of the kids's uniform at the front. Why were they home at this time?
Areum had classes, Taemin went to assist Jimin on the dance academy while Miyoung had Music club practice.
Slowly she walked upstairs only to hear sobs coming from Areum's room. Her eyes widened and she hurried her steps.
The door to Areum's room opened and EunHa saw her curled up on the floor, bawling her eyes out.
"Sweetie", she immediately went up to her. "What is wrong? Why are you crying?"
Seeing her mother, the child immediately hugged her, crying in her shoulder. EunHa could only pat her back and wait for her to calm down so she could talk to her.
"What happened? Did something happen at school?"
"Eomma.. Hansul.... this guy bullies me.. he hates me and Jennie and today he threatened to hurt us.. I am scared Eomma", she cried harder.
After class Hansul had managed to corner Areum. Seeing that Jennie wasn't around, he took this opportunity to threaten Areum once again and the girl scared out of her wits ran back home.
"Shhh", EunHa pat her back. "No one will hurt you sweetie. Don't pay any attention to him. Do you want Eomma and Appa to come to school and have a word with him?"
"NO.. No", Areum panicked. "No you cannot do that. Everyone will know and I don't want people gossiping"
EunHa was about to say something but stopped as she realized where Areum's emotions were stemming from. Obviously a teenager wouldn't like their parents coming to school to solve their matters.
"We won't, if you are not comfortable with that. I will talk to Appa about it, he will have a solution to that"
Areum nodded before curling herself up in her mother's arms. EunHa bent down as she pecked her cheek before holding her close to herself.
At this point she was fuming with anger. Even when it didn't show on her face, she internally wanted to smack this Hansul kid. No one was going to mess with her child and get away with it.

Jimin, EunHa, Jin and Yoongi sat on the dining table. Yoongi's twelve year old son MinHyuk sat along with them, reading a book by Stephen Hawking. MinHyuk was probably the smartest kid in the house who could sometimes even make Namjoon baffled with his smartness. The entire Bangtan family still couldn't believe how the lazy Yoongi had the most enthusiastic and cheerful kid ever.
"Jimin, what is the matter?", Jin asked seeing his brother in law distressed.
"Hyung, its Areum. There are some kids who are bullying her and Jennie in school. And you know how Areum is, don't you? She is so scared and me and Eunie don't know what to do"
Jin looked at me and I nodded. "She doesn't want us to come to school and sort the matter. Taemin is just hopeless and Miyoung doesn't really care about anything. I don't expect that two to be of help to anyone"
"Are they hurting Areum Noona?", Minhyuk looked up from his book and I nodded. "Aunt EunHa, I will beat them up if they trouble her"
"MinHyuk-ah, this is what I said to your uncle Jimin as well. Let us just beat them up but he disagrees"
"EUNHA", Jimin gasped. "What are you teaching the kid? MinHyuk go inside. Let the elders talk", he said to the younger one.
"But uncle..", he stopped as Yoongi looked at him. "Listen to what Uncle Jimin says. Go home and help your Eomma", with these words MinHyuk stood up and left.
Seeing he was out of sight, Yoongi turned to them. "EunHa is right. We should take those kids out. I still have those sniper guns down in the basement. It might take me some work but I can still assassinate like I did in my old days"
"HYUNG ! YOONGI", both Jimin and Jin snapped at the man.
"Yoongi Oppa is right. If we don't end them, we can at least get Taehyung to find information. Once we get them, we pay them a visit — probably threaten them a little with guns and stuff and ask them to leave all kids alone"
Jimin and Jin gaped at EunHa while Yoongi nodded his head in agreement. "Are you guys nuts?", Jin asked. "They are kids. We are not threatening a bunch of kids with guns just because they are bullying Areum in school"
"Yes EunHa", Jimin chimed in. "We are grown ups. We are not going to do anything irrational like this and especially not to some 17 year olds. And we stopped this dirty business 21 years ago"
I scoffed. "You were grown up when you kidnapped me all those years back. When was your rationality then?"
Jimin gasped. "You did not just go there..", he was speechless. "How could you even say that?"
We were almost bickering when Jin shouted and cut us off. "SHUT UP BOTH OF YOU", he yelled at us. "WE ARE NOT BLASTING THEIR ASS WITH GUNS AND THAT IS FINAL. TOMORROW ALL THREE OF US ARE GOING TO THEIR SCHOOL TO TALK TO HER PRINCIPAL AND THAT IS IT"
I sulked as I heard that. "Okay, but even if then they don't stop, then I will personally go in and slap all of them to Uranus. And no one will stop me then", I glared at Jimin before standing up and leaving.

Areum looked as Jennie lay on the bed, coughing slightly. She dipped the white piece of cloth in cold water and placed it on her forehead. Jennie was down with flu and as her parents were on a business trip, Areum was taking care of her.
"Areum", she sat up straight as she spoke to the other girl. "I am sorry, I cannot come to school the next few days"
"Why are you apologising? Its not your fault that you fell sick"
"But Hansul..", Jennie's words trailed off. Areum's body turned rigid as she heard that name but she quickly composed herself.
"Its okay, he will do nothing. I will take care of that matter."
"Are you sure?", Jennie asked a little worried.
"I will be fine Nini", she lovingly called the girl who smiled. "I can be tough too"
Jennie smiled fondly as she lay down again. "If he tries anything, let me know. I will come in this robe and sneeze on him and give him the flu", she joked.
Areum laughed but deep down she knew - that without Jennie she was going to be a target for Hansul and that he would mess her up badly.

Areum and Jieun walked to the canteen talking about the latter's selection in the basketball team. Jieun and Areum got along very well and the younger treated Areum as if she was her real sister.
They stopped as a couple of boys stood in front of them. "Hello there kitten", Hansul spoke. "I don't see your wonder woman girlfriend now. Where is she? Afraid of me? That is why she left?"
Ignoring him Areum grabbed Jieun's hands and decided to walk past them only to be pulled back by Hansul. He pushed her to the ground and Areum landed with a thud on her back.
Jieun was shocked and pushed Hansul with all her might. But being older and almost a foot taller, Hansul managed to slam Jieun into the lockers.
Taemin was walking by with a couple of friends when he saw some commotion by the canteen. He nudged his friends to go check it out. But he wasn't prepared to see Hansul towering over Areum who was on the ground in tears. Beside her Jieun was bleeding on the side of her head at being pushed by him.
His fists curled up as he ran towards them before punching Hansul straight in the face. "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING BULLYING MY SISTER YOU FUCKER", he yelled before throwing another punch.
Areum panicked as she saw Taemin and got to her feet to stop her brother. But before she could do anything, Hansul punched him in the face. And in no matter it was a full brawl.

Miyoung adjusted her mic as she read the lyrics to Tupac's song California Love before practicing the rehearsal. As she uttered the first word, the door blasted open.
"Miyoung", Yuna her friend came running in. "Taemin and Areum.. Hansul.. they", she was panting but those words were enough to have Miyoung throw her mic and run straight out of the class.
———•••———
Jin parked the car as Jimin, EunHa and him got out. Adjusting his jacket, Jimin looked around as they headed straight towards the office. Just as they reached the principal's office, the man himself came running out of the room.
"Oh Morning Mr Lee. I am Park Areum's mother we are here to..", EunHa began but was cut off. "I am sorry Miss, but I have a situation. Why don't you wait in the office, I will be back"
Seeing how tensed he looked, the trio decided to follow him. They reached the canteen and stopped as they saw the sight in front of them.
A couple of boys were on the ground as Miyoung, Areum and Taemin were hitting them. Beside Jieun had another one in a choke while MinHyuk using all his might was hitting a boy with his thick encyclopedia.
"How dare you even touch my sisters and brother", Miyoung's voice bought all their attention as she hit a guy on the floor who judging by the talk around was Hansul. The guy coughed as he fell, blood dripping from his nose.
Jimin and EunHa looked at one another and then at Jin who for some reason was stopping a smile. Jimin's eyes widened as he saw one of the buff boys pick a baseball bat to hit Miyoung but before he could do something another man stopped it by holding the bat.
"Touch her and you are dead", a handsome young boy spoke.
Miyoung looked up to see Minho looking at her. He winked at her before turning around and punching the guy in the face.
EunHa couldn't believe her eyes as she saw all her kids together trying to defend one another. Jimin put a hand on her shoulder as he turned to her "Guess they have the situation under control"
I nodded as I took one look at them. The guards came in and soon everyone was pulled away from the other. Without a word the trio sat in the office as they patiently waited.
Areum, Miyoung, Taemin, Jieun and MinHyuk all walked with their heads down as they were taken to the principal's office. The door opened as they saw their parents and uncle Jin sitting there.
"What..", a gasp left Miyoung's mouth. "How did you all come here even before Mr Lee called you?"
"Are you their parents?", Mr Lee was surprised too. Jimin and EunHa nodded.
"Good, lets talk about what Just happened right now. Park Taemin, Park Miyoung, Park Areum, Jung Jieun and Min Minhyuk is there something you wish to say about your illicit behavior?"
The kids were are trembling in fear as they saw EunHa look at them.
"Well", she began. "Mr Lee if you ask me It is not the kids fault. They did a right thing by teaching Hansul a lesson. They stood up to the bully and this proves how strong they are. I am actually impressed by the kids working as a team and defending each other. Instead of scolding them how about the school does something about the bullies?"
Everyone was speechless not expecting Eomma to take their side.
Mr Lee was about to speak up but stopped when he felt EunHa's challenging gaze on him — daring him to speak against her.
"You all can leave", he managed. "We will call Hansul's parents and make sure this behavior isn't repeated"
With that all of them left the office. Just as they were by themselves, EunHa turned to them. "I am so proud of you all. Good work", she opened her arms and all kids came running to her.
Areum smiled as she recalled the events from today. How Taemin and Miyoung became so protective of her. And no matter what family would always be family.

The Bangtan boys and EunHa sat in their kitchen as they all popped open a can of beer.
"I am so glad they sorted it all out. Now we don't have to assassinate anyone", Yoongi joked to which only Jungkook and EunHa laughed while the others merely gave them a stare.
"I am so proud of them", Jin declared. "Miyoung fights well. She almost slam dunked a man double her size today"
"She gets it from Noona", Jungkook said pulling my cheeks and I slapped his hand away.
"Nah", Hoseok spoke up. "EunHa used to fight like an ace. None of us — not even Jin Hyung could fight like her"
"Thats true", I pat Hoseok's back. "I was the best"
"NO YOU WERE NOT", Jimin and Jin yelled.
"I was", I stomped the can on the table. "Kookie do you not remember when you kidnapped me and I threw the dagger straight in your shoulder? You begged me for 6 months to teach you that because none of your Hyungs could do that. This proves that I was the best"
"Well technically she was", Namjoon said taking a sip of his beer. "Based on the BMI index and technique wise, EunHa could easily defeat people much larger and stronger than her". Taehyung nodded too but a glare from Jimin made him meekly look away.
"Oh shut up Namjoon", Jin sassed.
"Okay then what about when Ma Dong kidnapped you? Why did she not fight all of them?", Jimin asked. "Why did we have to save your ass hmm?"
I gasped. "PARK JIMIN MA DONG AND HIS MEN WERE 37 PEOPLE. WE ARE TALKING ONE ON ONE COMBAT HERE. NO ONE IN THIS MAFIA NOR THE LEE MAFIA, NOT EVEN DONGHAE OPPA COULD FIGHT ME. AND THAT IS ABOUT IT. STOP BEING SALTY....", I wanted to yell until the sound of something break caught all our attention.
We simultaneously turned our heads to see the triplets standing there, the glass of cola in Taemin's hand now on the ground.
I looked at Jimin aghast who was shook himself.
"Kids..", the only word that left my mouth.
"Eomma, Appa.. Uncle.. what did we just hear? Mafia? Fighting? Daggers?", Areum was beyond perplexed.
I sighed as I looked at Jimin. "Guess they have to know now"
He nodded. "Know what?", Miyoung asked.
"The story of how I met your mother", Jimin spoke.
The end
