Dongwook came downstairs after few hours. Yibo was the first one he approached.

"How is she?"

"She is fine. But she wants to be alone. You should go now Yibo. Don't worry. I'll take care of her well. And I'll call you later"

Yibo hesitantly nodded. "Did she say something?"

Dongwook paused. But smiled."No"

Yibo nodded." Then I'll leave. Please call me and tell her to answer my calls too"

"I will"

With that,Yibo left half heartedly. He didn't want to leave but he knew that she needs her space.

Dongwook turned to the worried brothers."You guys don't need to worry too. She is fine"

Boys weren't assured. They still had the look of worry.

"Why did noona--" Jungkook was cut off by Dongwook.

"It's something she doesn't want to discuss. Don't mention about it. Specifically not infront of her. Okay?"

Boys nodded obediently.

Dongwook turned to Jennie." You better keep your mouth shut. Girls and their gossiping mouths like parrots" he rolled his eyes.

Jennie scoffed. "I am not like that! And how can I even gossip when I don't even have any clue what happened. Dickhead"

"You two met each other?" Taehyung asked seeing their bickering.

Jennie crossed her arms and looked away." Yeah.An unpleasant memory"

That's when Boys noticed her wet cloths. "You, bathed?" Jimin asked confusely.

"Yeah,she had a nice bath" Dongwook smirked.

Jennie only rolled her eyes.

"Jennie," Taehyung called her with a serious tone." Why are you here?"

"Bitch, I didn't come to see your annoying ass. I just came to see my new cousin. Wanted to get her autograph to show my friends"

"Huh" Dongwook scoffed. "You couldn't be more shameless huh?"

"What the-- what do you mean?!" Jennie snapped.

"Your mom insulted our noona" Jungkook answered plopping himself on a couch." Of course it is shameless to ask her autograph"

Jennie sighed rubbing her temples."Aish,mom! She is really--!ugh!!" She couldn't say anything against her mom. It's her mother after all. She could only sigh.

"Atleast you are better than that freak. Noona will consider. She is really kind" Jimin said sitting next to Jungkook.

"Freak?who?"

"Daehyung" Taehyung rolled his eyes remembering what his brothers said about the club incident.

"That pervert" Jennie mumbled and sat on another couch.

Dongwook raised an eyebrow eyeing Jennie. He shook his head and turned to leave. On his way to his room,he removed his shirt,surely thinking to have a nice bath.

Jennie's eyes immediately went to his back muscles. She bit her bottom lip."Damn"

Jungkook made a disgusted face seeing his cousin's face."That's disgusting. You are no different than Daehyung. A pervert"

Jennie sent him a glare and hit him with a couch pillow. "You brat! Do you think I don't know your character?!Still 17 yet has girls everywhere!"

"Lies! It's not my fault to be handsome! They just roam around me!"

However,Taehyung seemed to be thinking about something serious. His eyes went upstairs. He was unreadable.

Igarashi stared at the outside from the balcony. She was sitting on an arm chair with a red wine bottle. Her hands were bandaged because of her palm injuries. A red silk long night dress covered her flawless skin.

She took the mouth of the bottle to her lips and drank few gulps. She placed the bottle on the small coffee table infront of her and looked at the cigarette pack on the table. She swiftly took a stick and placed it in between her lips. With a lighter,she lit it up and sucked the unhealthy smoke. Soon,she felt a warm blanket of smoke covering her lungs calming her down.[A/n;smoking is unhealthy and will effect your lungs.  It literally is a cancer stick ⚠️]

She leaned on her chair puffing some smoke onto the air. The person she saw wasn't leaving her mind. The haunted nightmare she wanted to keep by her side was non other than her mother. That shadow of her mother,she wanted to steal and trap it in her hell. No,she doesn't want to torture. Then what does she want?

Flashback

10 year old Igarashi stared at the room through the half opened door.

Whole house was dark but only a small lamp light still lit up her mother's room.

Igarashi was so much matured comparing to the kids at her age. Her body was small still had  a smart brain.

Her red eyes were filled with emptiness. A sigh left from her lips seeing her mother hooking up with another man. She silently turned away and walked towards her room.

It wasn't new. To live,her mother had to do this. To fulfill Igarashi's needs,her mother had to go to this extent. They were being chased away all their lives by various groups of people. So,no one gave her a job. Her mother had to work her butt off to earn money. And Igarashi could sense what might go wrong at this rate.

End of the flashback

She was snapped out of her thoughts when her cigarette was pulled away by someone.

A pale hand had snatched it away . She raised her head up to see Yoongi standing beside her with a grimace expression.

"Noona,don't drink alone. Just call me and I'll drink with you" he mumbled throwing away the cigarette. "And don't smoke"

He sat down on the chair next to hers and poured a drink to a glass to himself.

Igarashi didn't say anything. She just stared at the night sky.

"I heard what happened" he mumbled taking a sip slowly.

That's when Igarashi had the flashbacks of her going berserk came to her mind. She remembered seeing Jimin's face after a long storm of dark clouds. His face and Yibo's voice took her out from her insane world.

"Today is definitely not a good day for everyone" Yoongi said not asking her anything particular about her outburst.

Just then,loud voices of Taehyung and Hoseok reached their ears. Igarashi narrowed her eyebrows.

"They are bickering again" Yoongi answered her confused mind. "Jin hyung is not home to solve their problems"

Igarashi looked at Yoongi and he could guess what she wanted to ask. He was proud of himself knowing that he could read her like Dongwook.

"Hyung,...he had gone to the club" and with that Yoongi's mood dropped drastically.

"And you didn't go?" It was surely a surprising fact. Brothers always hang out together. But why did Jin go alone?

Yoongi shook his head. With face full of sadness,he drank the whole glass. "He goes to the club alone once a  week.....to have a good fuck"

His choice of words showed how much he hated that fact. His voice was laced with sadness and sorrow." No one can blame him. He just needs a way to release his stress. We all have our own ways of dealing with our stress. And, it is his way" ,They all were struggling in their own battles. They can't lean on others in this matter. Because everyone knows that each one is going through the same thing and it would be hard to bear another one's complains. Yoongi is no different. Being controlled by their family, they had no freedom. They had thrown away their dreams to live under their father's shadows.

Igarashi tensed a bit remembering about her mother. She is close by. And now Jin is away. She didn't want her mother to lay her eyes on her brothers. But,it had already happened.

Yoongi stayed with Igarashi for few more minutes before bidding her good night and left.

Igarashi took out her phone and called someone. "Go to the seoul night club. Keep an eye on Kim Seokjin. Make sure he comes home safely"

She waited for Jin in the living room alone. Everyone had gone to sleep but she didn't. Time passed minute by minute. Already passed midnight.

The sound of door opening took her attention. She stood up from the couch and turned around to see Jin stumbling inside. He paused on his track seeing the girl in a red night dress.

"N-Noona?"

She examined him carefully. Reeking with alcohol and a strong perfume smell,he is wasted. Hickies had covered his neck and it looked disgusting to her eyes. But she still kept a calm expression.

Jin's eyes went to her bandaged palms. Worriedness washed over his face seeing his sister being hurt." Noona,what happened to your hands?"

Surely he was in his senses. He took few steps towards her but stopped in the midway. He looked at his own body and felt ashamed to face her. With an awkward pause,he backed away.

"Go to your room" she simply said like she didn't really care about him.

Jin nodded. The last thing he wanted was to be disgusted by his own sister. He slowly made his way to the stair case. Just as he was about to climb, he was stumbled, feeling dizzy.

Before he could fall,a hand grabbed him by his arm.

Igarashi stood next to him. She didn't look at him. Just stood there not letting him fall.

Jin stared at her face and smiled softly.

"Walk properly " she ordered before letting him go.

Like an obedient little brother,he nodded. Supporting himself, he climbed again.

Again,he stumbled because of darkness. And this time too,he didn't fall. She caught him just in time and made him stand properly again.

She caught me before I fall. Will she do the same thing if I fall again?Will she be there every time I fall? To hold me? To make me stand properly?noona,will you be there to hold me?

Jin purposely stumbled again. He shut his eyes closed not knowing what she will do. Will she still hold him without feeling irritated?

A tight hold on his arm and waist made him stop falling again. She held him before he fall.

He stared at his sister's face. He felt the satisfaction of being under someone's protection. Someone who would hold him before he fall. Someone he could blindly trust.

"Let's go drunk boy" she muttered steading him up.

He nodded smiling softly. Somehow, he managed to climb all the stairs and went to his room without giving any trouble to her.

Igarashi stood in the hallway till he reach his room. Suddenly, a small glitter of a shiny object caught her attention. She looked down to see a necklace on the ground. It was Jin's necklace.

She took it to her hands and examined it. A ring was on it as a pendant. It was golden in colour but had a bright red massive diamond on it. She squinted her eyes. It's a rare jewellery. It's nearly impossible to find such a treasured ring. Only China had these types of rare rings.

She closed her palm and made her way to Jin's room to give it back. She knocked on it but no one opened the door. She could see the faint light coming from the half opened door. So,she opened it.

The room was empty.

Sounds of gagging reached her ear. She slowly made her way to the sound. It was coming from the bathroom.

As she expected, there,he was vomiting his guts out.

Few minutes later,he stopped and wiped his mouth with his own hands and flushed it.

He sat down on the floor breathing heavily. He saw her figure standing near the door but he didn't utter anything. Just closed his eyes feeling tired.

"Do not drink if you can't tolerate" she advised him with her cold voice.

Jin smiled waving his hand." There's nothing I can't tolerate. I've been tolerating my whole life. This is nothing"

"Why would you tolerate something you don't want? Waste of time"

"It's not like I have a choice noona. This forceful life is too much to handle but have to live with it"

"What is your dream then?"

Jin opened his eyes with her question. He smirked at himself."I don't have any dream" he lied. He is suffering in a life he didn't even want. Studying day and night,he had nothing to achieve. All for their father. To satisfy him. For their company. They forced their dreams on him. Not only him,but also rest of his brothers. But,he is their main attention. Main expectation. They piled up their expectations on him. Cutting down his wings,they trapped him.

"Then what are you even whining about? Work for yourself if you are not satisfied. Here" she threw the necklace to him.

It landed near his feet.

He immediately took it and touched his own neck. That's when he realised that he didn't have his necklace on his neck anymore. He looked up to see his sister's crimson eyes boring into his skull.

He put the necklace on his neck and examined the ring on it.

"You know,now I remember" he said still staring at the ring. "I had a dream. But it doesn't matter now"

"If it doesn't matter,you won't be in this state. Get up and wash yourself you stinky brat"

She turned around to leave but stopped hearing his words.

"You remind me of someone I met a long time ago"

She slowly turned her head to her side looking at him through the corner of her eyes.

"She had the same red eyes. She didn't show her face but I saw her eyes. Bright red just like this beautiful red diamond. She is the one who gave me this ring. Without even knowing me,she gave me such a huge treasure. She only said one thing. 'Sell this and survive' " he smiled softly caressing the ring."I don't know why people say red eyes are cursed. But for me,red eyes are the symbol of greatness and kindness"

"You didn't sell?"

He shook his head."No. I couldn't. It's not like I wanted to keep this,I also wanted to sell this but I simply couldn't sell it"....."Since I couldn't sell this, I might as well give this back if I ever could meet her"

She sealed her lips into a thin line.

"You still have a chance to pawn it. The owner gave up on the ring. Why would you give it back?And go to sleep now. Stinky brat"

With that she left his room.

Jin stared at her disappearing figure. He again looked at the ring.

"This is too precious to sell"
