Taehyung and Jimin stood at the entrance of the bathroom and watched everything with a dumbfounded expression. Hoseok and JiHyun paused when they heard Taehyung yell.
"What the hell is happening here?"

Jimin was holding onto Taehyung considering he still couldn't walk on his own yet. JiHyun lifted Hoseok and placed him on the ground.

Jimin screeched. "Are you guys dating? I knew it!!! I was planning on breaking into your locker JiHyun, but I guess I have no reason to anymore." JiHyun widened his eyes. "What???"
Taehyung waddled over to the couple, as he didn't have support from someone else or his crutches, all he could do was waddle.

Taehyung growled. "So, now your keeping secrets from your only brother? Or should I say STEP brother?!" Hoseok tilted his head in confusion.

•Minutes ago•

Taehyung was walking through the hallway with Jimin by his side, they were on their way to find Hoseok and JiHyun.

As they walked through the hallway, they were approached by a familiar classmate. Jackson.

Jackson smirked when he saw Taehyung. "Hey babe."
Taehyung narrowed his eyes.
"Don't call me that."
Jimin pointed down the hallway.
"Leave. We have no interest in you." Jackson smiled slightly as he walked with the two boys, knowing that he would be getting on their nerves.

"Where are you off too?" Asked Jackson. Taehyung sighed.
"We're gonna go find JiHyun and Hoseok." Jackson's expression suddenly became more light, his smile growing wider. "Your brother?"
Taehyung nodded and signalled to Jimin to walk faster, and the two of them shuffled their feet across the floor as fast as they could go, but Jackson jogged down the hallway to catch up.

"Do you call him 'brother' or 'step brother'?" Taehyung stopped walking and turned to face Jackson.
"What? What do you mean by step brother?" Jimin stood next to Taehyung, equally confused.
"I'm surprised he hasn't told you.."
"Told me what? Tell me!" Demanded Taehyung. Jackson nodded.
"Very well."

"A long time before your parents died, it was only Hoseok."
"Right. I was born after him," added on Taehyung. Jackson shook his head.
"What do you think your name is?"
"Taehyung," he replied.

Jackson sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair. "Your full name."
"Jung Taehyung."
"What would you do if I said that you were actually adopted?" Taehyung paused as he looked at Jimin who was staring right back at him.

"That doesn't make any sense. Stop messing with Tae's head Jackson," said Jimin. Jackson shrugged and turned away from them as he started to walk away.
"Alright then, believe what you want. Just thought you had the right to know."
"Wait!" Yelled Taehyung. That "Wait" was all that was needed for Jackson to stop and wait for the two to catch up to him.

Taehyung and Jimin walked up to Jackson, and Taehyung stood in front of him, creating an intense moment for them as they locked eyes.

"If this is true, and your telling the truth... I need proof. How exactly do you know this?"
Jackson removed a folded up piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over to Taehyung.
"Don't ask how I got this because it's a long story. A story that I'd rather not tell." Taehyung looked down as he took the piece of paper from Jackson and opened it up.

He was blown away by what the paper revealed. It was a full document based on him. His age, his real name, everything. Including a side note on the side that he was adopted as a baby.

Jimin's eyes widened as he leaned over Taehyung's shoulder to get a better look at what Taehyung was holding.

•End, Back to now•

"TaeTae, What are you talking about?" asked Hoseok. Jimin sighed, knowing what was coming.

"Stop messing around and confront to me!"
"Tae.."
"I'm not your real brother, I'm your step brother! You just ignored the fact that I had the right to know! And now your dating my best friend's brother and declined to tell me about it? What other secrets do you plan on keeping?"

Hoseok sighed as JiHyun slowly took his hand for reassurance. Taehyung approached Hoseok, standing face to face with him, their faces an inch apart, and their eyes making contact.

"I'm done with this...I'm done with you.." Taehyung said his final words before leaving the bathroom. Jimin mouthed a quick "I'm sorry." He ran after Taehyung who was fast to leave the bathroom.

Hoseok turned to JiHyun, tears strolling down his cheeks. He whispered very quietly between sobs, "I wasn't sure if he was ready to know the truth, but now, things are a mess. I've ruined our brotherly relationship, he'll never forgive me..."

JiHyun's first reaction was to pull his boyfriend into a tight hug and surround him with soft words and all his love that he had for the elder.

Hoseok let out all his tears into the younger's chest, creating a wet spot on to his shirt. JiHyun rested his head on top of Hoseok's and rocked him gently side to side.

"Everything will turn out just fine.."
"You can't promise that."
"No I can't, but what I can promise is that I'll always be here to support you."
A slight smile appeared on Hoseok's face before hugging JiHyun once more.

•Yoongi's View•

I perceived the full scene from behind the corner of the school. I saw everything from the moment that Tae and Jimin left the car, to the incident in the hallway, to the drama that took place in the bathroom.

No one noticed me watching them, so I was thankful for that. As much as I wanted to run up to the guys and give them all a tight hug, I couldn't. I had to watch from a distance. I slowly stepped outside the building and watched as Taehyung walked around in a circle with Jeongkook and Jimin talking to him.

I couldn't resist anymore, I really needed to talk to the guys. I strolled over to them and called out "Hey."

Everyone turned their attention towards me, and Taehyung's face was the only one that lit up with a bright smile. Jeongkook replaced his face with a frown, and Jimin raised his eyebrows when I came closer.

Taehyung waddled over to me and wrapped his arms around me. He had a tight grip and I knew he must've been feeling hurt from the number of things that have happened this year.

"Hyung... You never hang around us anymore... I miss you.." said Taehyung.
"I miss you too buddy.."

When Taehyung released me, I made my way to Jimin who took a couple of steps back. "Hey Jimin," He responded with a shy mumble. "Hi.."

"Jeongkook.... My old friend.."
Jeongkook rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. He looked at Jimin and Taehyung. "I can't believe you guys trust this idiot."

Jimin spoke up, "Everybody deserves a second chance, he is your best friend, is he not?" I glanced at Jimin with a shocked expression. I never expected him to really speak up for me, considering the arguments and trouble we've gone through.

Jeongkook stuck out his tongue, "You mean he WAS my best friend." He grinned at his own sentence, and I was about to scold him, but someone else did it for me. Two people actually.

"Jeongkook, grow up!"
"Yeah, Stop acting like a kid!"
We all turned around and saw two familiar friends heading our way. It was Jin and Namjoon. I smiled happily when I saw them.

Jin had moved out and went back home with Namjoon once things were fixed.

•A Week Ago•
Jin fixed up supper for him and Yoongi, considering Yoongi's parents weren't home yet, someone had to cook for the two. As Jin was serving the food onto plates, Yoongi came and took his seat. "Thanks Jin." Jin nodded in response and went to join him.

As they ate, it was very quiet. They didn't say much as their eyes and mouths were focused on the food that rested in front of them. Yoongi took a break and looked at his elder gulp down his food. "Jin.. Are you moving out?" Jin froze at those words and sighed.

"I'm sorry Yoongi... I didn't know how to tell you."
"Tell me what?"
"Me and Namjoon fixed everything so.. I'm moving back in."
"That's great Jin."
Jin was surprised. "Your not upset?"

Yoongi shook his head. "Don't think I'm fully happy about it, I was enjoying the company. I saw you packing your things last night so, I understand. You want to go back with your boyfriend, I get it."

Jin smiled and held out his hand. "Fiancé. We made up so... We've been planning the wedding.. We plan on adopting too.."
Yoongi got up, placing the dishes in the sink.

"Am I invited?"
Jin chuckled. "Don't be foolish, of course your invitied! I can't get married without you there."

The two sat back down and Yoongi nodded slowly.

"I'm happy for you Jin.."
"Thanks Yoongi.."

•Back to present time, Third Person•

Jin had his arm around Yoongi and Namjoon had Jin's hand locked with his. Jeongkook groaned and tried to open the car door, but it was locked. Who locked it?

"Jeongkook, don't try to leave. We need to talk about this." Everyone looked and saw Hoseok walking hand in hand with JiHyun.

Jeongkook sighed and Taehyung glared. "Hoseok..." Taehyung turned to leave but was stopped by Jimin and he spoke, "Give them a chance Taehyung, you know that your brother loves you very much." Taehyung rolled his eyes and motioned for Jeongkook to come over, and he obeyed.

Jeongkook took Taehyung's hand and the two started heading down a trail that led to the park. Yoongi called out.
"I miss my best friend!" Jeongkook froze. Yoongi slowly made his way to the younger as he placed his hands on his shoulder.

"Jeongkook.... I never intended to hurt you or anybody else... I made a mistake."
Jeongkook mumbled. "A big mistake." Yoongi nodded with a sigh.

"Yes, I made a big mistake. A huge, idiotic, not smart thinking, mistake. But I'm desperate to tease you again, to go out together, to be best friends.. We've known each other forever.. Do you really want to give up now?"

"I don't want to be friends with someone that's gonna hurt my family.."
"I'll be better I promise."
"Don't make a promise you can't keep.."
"Jeongkook.."

Jeongkook turned back towards Taehyung and the two walked away from everyone else. Yoongi looked down, tears strolling down his cheeks.

He wanted everyone back together, that was surely his wish for the year.

Thanks Everyone 💜
