"I'm already at home so don't wait for me after school."

I texted Jin to let him know that I'm already at home, so they don't wait for me after school. In a few seconds, I saw "read" below my text, so I waited for a few minutes for his reply, but he didn't reply anything back.

Oh, so he is ignoring me.

I snorted.

Y/N: I should be the one ignoring you, bruh. Not the other way around.

I mumbled to myself and threw my phone away on my bed and plop myself down beside it. I closed my eyes but as soon as I closed my eyes, my mind started playing the rooftop scene of my brothers and Kai.

Why did they behave that way? I questioned to myself.

Maybe they were just being overprotective of you. My subconscious mind answered, trying to justify their behaviour.

But J-hope shouldn't have started beating Kai without knowing the truth. Why did he do that? That was a reckless move.

Maybe because he deeply cares for you and wanted to protect you.

At this moment, I was having a full-on conversation with myself. It was like I was talking to my other personality in my head, trying to figure out how I actually feel about this whole situation.

That does not justify his reckless behaviour though—and protect me from what? It was not like Kai was threatening me or anything. He was just talking... He did not deserve all those beating.

A big part of me felt guilty for it... but a small part of me felt satisfied to see him in pain. He made me cry, he caused me so much pain and for that he deserved it.

Or maybe he deserved it.

That's wrong thinking, Y/N! My inner self screamed at me. Don't forget he was the one who took care of you when you were sick, and your mom was in Busan for a week! Don't forget that he was the one who gave you his jacket to cover your lower back when you accidentally bleed through your pants in school on your period! Don't forget that he made you feel loved when you were going through a bad time!

That's right. He was my prince charming. He was always there for me... but then how can he kiss someone else if he cared for me that much?

He said it was a mistake, it's not his fault. And also, he is here now, for you, so maybe he still loves you.

But the question is how does he know where I live and where I go to school?

Is he the stalker? I quickly grabbed my phone and started to facetime with my old friend. In a few seconds, she answered her phone. She quickly gave me a big smile when she saw me.

Priyanka: Hey bish! You finally have time to remember your old friends.

Y/N: Pri, do you know that Kai is here?

Her excited face turned into a confused one.

Priyanka: What?

Y/N: Kai moved here and now he is attending my school.

Priyanka: What! How... ohh, wait, give me a sec.

She started walking somewhere, I got a glimpse of the background and it looked like she was walking in the hallway of my old school.

Damn! I miss that place.

She entered some room, it looked like a music room because I started to hear the sound of a piano, guitar and some other instruments.

Priyanka: Vanya, can I talk to you for a sec?

She walked out of class and behind her, I heard Vanya's voice.

Y/N: Pri, what's going on?

She finally looked at me and she looked pissed for some reason.

Vanya: What's up?

I heard Vanya's voice in the background. Priyanka quickly turned her phone screen to face Vanya.

Vanya: Oh, hey Y/N! Long-time no see!

Y/N: Hey—

Priyanka: Can you care to explain how does Kai knows which school Y/N goes to?

Vanya froze when she heard that.

Vanya: Um, sorry, I think I heard it wrong. What did you just say?

Y/N: He's attending my school and also has a class with me.

Vanya: What! I didn't think he would actually move there. That bastard!

Y/N: You told him?

She guiltily looked at me and then looked at Priyanka—who was out of the view—for help. She then sighed and looked at me.

Vanya: He was asking me about you the other day, he looked so heartbroken and depressed so I kind of just told him to make him feel better, but I didn't think that he would be bold enough to move there.

Y/N: Why, Vanya?!

Priyanka suddenly appeared on the screen.

Priyanka: Because she wanted to impress her crush, AKA Chanyeol, who was standing beside Kai and was giving her flirtiest looks, so our innocent Vanya fell in his trap and blurted out everything that he and Kai asked her.

Vanya: I'm sorry, okay. I didn't know that this would happen. I just...I'm sorry, Y/N.

I felt bad seeing her like that. It's not her fault. She had been trying to get Chanyeol attention for almost two years. She has been crushing hard for him for a long time so it's natural that she did that because he was finally noticing her. Anyone in her place would have done that... I think.

Y/N: Oh Vani, it's okay. Please don't be sad.

She looked at me with dewy eyes.

Vanya: You are not mad?

Y/N: No, well not anymore.

Vanya: Thank you, Y/N. You are the best!

She grabbed the phone from Priyanka's hand and started kissing the screen and front camera. This is what I love about her, one minute she is all sad and crying, and another minute she all happy and laughing, just like a little kid.

Priyanka: Yah stop it! Do you know how many bacteria crawls on this phone daily?

She snatched a phone away from Vanya.

Priyanka: Go, wash your mouth before those bacteria start to breed in your mouth and create a happy family there.

I started laughing at her comment. She has always been an overprotective mom of our group. Vinaya stuck her tongue out at Priyanka and started talking to me, ignoring Priyanka's disapproved look.

........

??: Y/A!

I groan when I heard someone screaming my name from downstairs. I didn't realize who was it or what was going on because I was still half asleep.

??: Y/N!

I quickly jumped in a sitting position frantically when I heard Jungkook's furious voice. Now I was wide awake from my nap.

What the f*ck is going on?

I didn't move and stayed seated on my bed, trying to make sense of what was going on and why was he screaming my name. In a few seconds, I heard a knock on my door. My body stiffened due to anxiety.

Y/N: Yes?

I asked in a low tone.

The door opened and the maid entered.

Maid: BTS wants to see you in the living room, now.

Y/N: Why?

Maid: I don't know but please go quickly... they looked really angry.

I exhaled loudly and stood up. I think I know why they are angry.

Y/N: Is dad also in the living room?

Maid: No, he left an hour ago.

Now it was my time to panic. I thought if he would be here then BTS won't be able to get angry at me but since he is not here, I don't know who will save me now.

Y/N: Why did he leave?!

Maid: He just came home to get his important things for his meeting and left after that.

J-hope: Y/N!

I heard J-hope loud voice from the living room.

Oh god, please save me.

Maid: Let's go quickly.

She said in a panic and looked at me with pleading eyes.

I took a deep breath and nodded. I started walking downstairs and the maid followed me behind quietly. My palms are getting more and more sweaty as I took each step toward the living room

Once I entered the living room, I saw seven of them sitting on couches. I saw Jimin sitting comfortably on the couch with a big bag of chips in his hand. When he saw me, he smirked in amusement. It looked like he was ready to enjoy the drama that was about to happen in a few minutes.

Beside him, I saw V who was tapping vigorously on the phone screen, indicating that he was playing a game and didn't really care about anything else. Then I saw Suga sitting beside him with his head resting on his hand. He looked uninterested and tired.

And in contrast, Jungkook looked like he was about to break something with his fist. His eyes were filled with fire, so I quickly moved my eyes away from him and saw J-hope beside him, but he was also looking at me dead eyes.

I quickly started to scan the area to spot my saviour, Jin. But when I spotted him, my heart started to race faster because this time he was also staring at me with an unfriendly blank face.

Okay, now I'm in deep trouble.

I quickly started to look for my last hope, RM. When he saw me looking at him, he gave me a sympathetic look before focusing his attention on Jungkook who was now taking big steps toward me. I heard maid's footsteps scurrying away quickly from behind.

I also wanted to run with her, but I couldn't. My feet were glued to the floor due to anxiousness. I know they won't hurt me since they are my brothers but at the same time, I can't guarantee that because right now I feel like I don't really know them. It's only been two months since I started to live with them, so I still don't know what they are capable of when they are really angry, at me.

Y/N: W-What's going on?

He didn't answer and grabbed my hand and started dragging me in the middle of the living room. He then let go of my hand when we reach beside the coffee table.

Jungkook: Sit.

He pointed his finger at the table, indicating me to sit on the table. I quickly sat and moved my eyes side by side to see everyone's eyes were looking back at me, except V. It felt like I'm going to get interrogated by them.

J-hope: Why did you leave early without telling any of us?

His voice was flat, but I can hear anger behind his tone that he was trying hard to control.

Y/N: Um, because I was tired...?

My reply felt more like a question than answer because I wasn't really confident with my answer. I actually wanted to tell them that I didn't want to talk to them because how they behaved on the rooftop but my cowered a$$ couldn't bring myself to say it on their faces.

Jungkook: So, you left, without telling us! And that is also in BUS! What were you thinking?!

I involuntarily flinched a little by the loud voice.

Jungkook: Do you know how unsafe that is?!

What is he talking about? It's not like I took a bus in the middle of the night.

Y/N: It is safe.

I answered in a low tone, avoiding eye contact with him and others. I have been taking the bus for a long time before I moved here so I know it's safe. And about stalker problem, I think it's Kai who sent me those gifts and not an actual stalker, so I know I was safe.

J-hope: No, it is not, Y/N. Did you forget about the stalker?

Y/N: I-I think it was Kai who sent me those gifts.

Jimin: Ooooh so he is the stalker.

He spoke with a mouth full of potato chips and coke.

I glared at him. Here everyone is mad at me and they are scolding me, and this guy is eating chips and enjoying the live reality show.

This mochi is enjoying this way too much!

Y/N: No. He is not.

I replied.

Suga: Then who is he?

Y/N: My ex.

RM: What is he doing here?

Bro, why are you asking? I thought you are on my side.

I stared at him for a few seconds before answering him.

Y/N: I don't know.

I lied. I can't just tell them that he's here for me because they did say that I'm not allowed to have a boyfriend so I think if they figured it out then they will break more bones of Kai.

V: Why were you on the rooftop with him then?

I was surprised by his question because I thought he was busy playing a game, but I guess his ears were all here, on our conversations.

Y/N: Because I wanted to talk to him.

V: But why on the rooftop, alone?

Boi, go back to playing your game.

He finally looked at me when I didn't answer his question.

V: Why, Y/N?

I glared at him. I wanted to say "none of your business" but I hold my tongue, so I don't regret it later

Y/N: Because I just felt like it.

Jungkook: What were you talking with him?

Again, I wanted to say "none of your business" but I didn't, for safety purpose.

Y/N: Nothing important.

J-hope: Y/N, that's not an answer.

He said it so calmly that I felt a shiver run down my spine. Something about him was scary and threatening. I think in this house J-hope is the scariest when he is mad and then Jungkook. Something about these two is unsettling—actually, you know what, now that I think of it, I feel like they all have an unsettling dark aura surrounding them when they are angry or pissed.

Y/N: I just wanted to ask why he was here.

J-hope: And what did he say?

Y/N: F-For study. He's here for study.

I lied.

He snorted.

J-hope: You know, Y/N, I can read your face, right? Now tell us the truth.

Y/N: And what if I don't wanna say it?

Words just came out of my mouth before I register them in my head. I quickly bite my tongue inside my mouth to stop myself from spilling more words.

Jimin: Ohhhh!!

He said it like an "ohhhh" meme.

This mochi!

J-hope: No problem, sis. I'll just ask him then.

He said with smirked.

Y/N: Stay away from him.

I didn't want them to hurt him. Even if he is the stalker, I still want to handle him by myself. I don't want BTS to get involved with him.

Jungkook: And why is that? Do you still like him, Y/N?

Is this a trick question? I stared at his blank face for a few seconds before answering him.

Y/N: Maybe...maybe not.

Jin: I hope it's latter, or else we will have a big problem.

He finally spoke, guys! He finally spoke. He has been sitting quietly for so long that I was getting worried that he will snap at me at any second but I'm glad that he spoke without snapping.

Y/N: What do you mean?

He leans forward and placed his elbows on his knees and stared at me for a minute. He then snorted and shook his head little before replying to me.

Jin: The only thing you should know, Y/N, is that you are not allowed to have a boyfriend.

Y/N: And what if I want one.

They all started laughing like I just told them a joke.

Jin: Oh princess, trust me, you don't want to challenge us.

He looked at me with an arrogant look.

All of a sudden, I started to feel like I was all alone in a room filled with strangers. How is that possible, yesterday I felt like I was on cloud nine because of my brothers but today I just feel totally opposite. I feel like I'm surrounded by control freaks. I abruptly stood up and started walking toward the staircase.

J-hope: We are not done yet, Y/N.

I looked back over my shoulder.

Y/N: But I'm done with you all.

I then again started walking.

RM: Y/N...

I ignored him and kept walking.
