4th November 2019

Soobin

"Yeonjun ah, send this medicine to V hyung. I am not sure if he is alright. He is being stubborn and let Jimin punch him however he wanted. He must be sick in his mind," Hobi hyung spoke, handing Yeonjun hyung a cover of pills and tonics. Yeonjun made a hasty exit, holding the bag carefully.

I was stupefied when I heard Jimin hyung yelling and thwacking the shit out of V hyung's face when Jungkook hyung and I reached the port. We were surprised to see Hannah noona lying unconscious, lying inclined on one of the metal containers with her arm bleeding.

Jungkook hyung quickly rushed to noona and I helped him pick her up. He ushered me to take her to the nearest hospital while he would manage Jimin hyung who was pouncing on V hyung like a wild savage. I knew both of them tattooed each other's names as their archenemies in their hearts but that was the first time I have seen them so violently against each other, though it was more of just Jimin hyung almost eradicating V hyung from this planet.

"Everyone is hell worried. I don't know what kind of drugs Jimin is on but he is being a menace to us. I am scared if he used Hannah to wreak revenge on Taehyung. Damn! It's been years and why doesn't that get into that thick skull of his," Hobi hyung snapped, landing his fist on the wall, making Beomgyu tremble.

"Jimin is anything but stupid. He can be a menace to all the ones against us but not to us. Don't you remember, Hobi? How many times did he save our asses with his brain? And now, without a proper explanation, you are dropping all the blame on him? Do you even know our Taehyung tried to electrocute Hannah to get some stupid truth from her," Yoongi hyung retorted and Hobi hyung stood there, staring at the older and then at us.

"Yeah, our Taehyung. And the Taehyung I know would never do that, especially to her," Hobi hyung defended V hyung, standing strong on his words as his eyes flared in anger and frustration. I knew he was overwhelmed with all the negative emotions and it wasn't just about the debate that was turning awfully heated.

"And why do you think he wouldn't? If that's the case, our Jimin wouldn't do that to Hannah either," Yoongi hyung spat, and Hobi hyung grumbled.

Shit! They are arguing for no reason

And here I am, sitting like a dumb duck

"Because he fucking likes her, idiot. Can't you see that in his eyes? In fact, did you ever observe Taehyung when he falls for someone? He is fucking weak for her, what crap of a brain do you have? Now tell me why Jimin wouldn't use Hannah as bait?" Hobi hyung roared and Yoongi hyung looked at him as if he was a ghost.

"Because-"

"Will you both stop fighting like maniacs? We have enough people shedding blood here. Remember that Hannah wasn't in danger because of Jimin hyung or V hyung. It was because of a glitch in the port security that someone breached the containers. Anyways, Taehyun solved it and Jimin hyung took care of those men. Now stop growling at each other like animals. This is a hospital for fuck's sake," Jungkook hyung rumbled making the two elders quiet and then, placed his hand on my shoulder, nodding at me.

"I am sorry Hobi ah. I know being at hospitals makes you uneasy and that you have just visited her. I am really sorry. I should have thought about your feelings first. I didn't mean to yell at you," Yoongi hyung quickly apologized making me smile.

Ever since I know Hobi hyung and Yoongi hyung, I had created a different perception of how close pals live in this world. They mean the world to each other and are like a bow and arrow. One can't make a perfect attack without a powerful bow and a sharp arrow, making them the most powerful weapons in the organization.

With their Archer, Jimin hyung

The Mind

The three of them subtly care for each other in their most complicated ways. All their lives weren't easy but they knew they could get through it someday and that they were together even if in a mess. They were the knights that stick together, the trio themselves a whole army, enough to make everyone's flesh crawl.

"I am sorry too. It's just that these walls knock off my sanity and I don't function properly. And that I heard the doctor's words, those same fucking words again, so nothing was helping. I should believe Jimin and we all know, no matter how fucked up he is, his brain wouldn't betray him," Hobi hyung pulled Yoongi hyung for a hug, making the elder smile with his eyes.

"How is noona? I know it's not serious but I just want to know," I asked, trying to sound as ignorant as possible and Jungkook hyung chuckled, patting my head. Max and Aeri noona wouldn't be happy if anything happened to her and it just feels weird that her clumsy dense self was staying silent, motionless on that hospital bed.

I should not feel like this

She is nothing to me

But why does she have to get hurt always?

And why is it always by us?

"She is alright. She was unconscious because of fatigue as our little Miss ain't focusing on her meals properly. And something triggered her probably. We can't conclude anything unless she wakes up," Jungkook hyung spoke and I looked at Beomgyu who was all silent, his chin resting on his entwined hands.

"Did Jimin hyung say something?" I asked and Jungkook hyung shrugged. I looked at Beomgyu and he stood up, with a sigh, his eyes red and his hands quivering.

"Why is always him, huh?"

"Why is it always him? Why is it always 'Did he do something?' 'Did he use her as bait?' 'Did he play his mind games?' huh? Did it ever occur to you if he was ever doing fine? How can you call yourself close when you don't even know what's happening in his life?" Beomgyu's voice seared through his tongue and he was held by Jin hyung who just appeared at the scene, his brows furrowing at us, questioning the younger's outburst.

"You never look through those cold stone eyes. I know he never expects anything but didn't you say we are all a family? You knew what V hyung feels or at least try to know what is going on with him. What about Jimin hyung? Just because he's the Park Jimin, doesn't mean he is some Hulk or something. Things smash him, harder than what we think. He can't express his feelings but they always eat him up from inside," Beomgyu sobbed and Jin hyung wrapped his arms around the younger, rubbing his back slowly.

"He-he he always thinks two steps ahead. But he- he is scared to ask for love. He lost his mother and instead of consoling him, being there with him, you sent him to the States. Noona broke up with him but you never talked to him about it. I know we all are there for him but why does it make him feel alone. Are we even doing something? What about the promise to Aunt Eunae?" Beomgyu blubbered and Jungkook hyung bit his lips, slipping into deep thoughts.

"Hey hey, listen! It's true that we don't talk much about his feelings but you know the reason as well, Beomgyu ah. If someone doesn't let their walls down, we can't just walk in. Breaking them by force would only make it worse," Jin hyung pulled him out of the hug and smiled. Hobi hyung passed him a tissue, his eyes almost glistening.

"We will always be there for him but he needs to acknowledge that. Forcing him to talk about things he doesn't like to would disrespect his personal space. I know he is struggling, we all know he is suffering but we can only put effort to some extent. You can't hold a bucket load of water with just one finger," Yoongi hyung ruffled the younger's hair who was just nodding while wiping tears.

"And we are sorry if we accuse him of something. Just Armor things. He makes the devil cry so if anything turns into ruins, it would definitely be an impeccable plan of our Mastermind," Hobi hyung added and I smiled, totally in agreement with him. Jungkook hyung's lips curved, adoring the sight in front of him.

"By the way, Yoongi ah, is there anything you want to tell me? You too, Beomgyu?" Jin hyung asked out of the blue, diverting our attention towards his dark serious gaze as he still continued to caress the arms of our whiny emo brat, Beomgyu. Yoongi hyung and Beomgyu looked at each other with an indecipherable expression painted on their face and then at Jin hyung who had a knowing look on his face.

"There are so many things that I will be discussing with everyone later. Though I can't believe you kept things from me, I understand why you did that. Just look over Hannah and don't startle her when she wakes up. She tends to break her head trying to put everything into a piece even before she could feel her own skin," he alerted us and Jungkook hyung chuckled. But I couldn't wrap it around my mind that Yoongi hyung and Beomgyu were hiding something from us.

What could it be?

If it involves both of them, then it is definitely about Jimin hyung

I am feeling paranoid about this for some reason

"I will be leaving then. I got some works to do with Namjoon and clean this mess. Keep an eye on everyone suspicious. Don't let down your guard anytime. A small slip of sight could cause a wildfire," Jin hyung admonished and trailed his steps away from us, not forgetting to give an assuring nod to Beomgyu.

"Beomgyu-"

"Shall we go, talk to Jimin hyung? He must be alone," Jungkook hyung interjected my words as he swung his arm around my neck, force adequate enough to drag away my muscle-less self from the emo radiating space.

"I am quite curious too but you know, now is not the right time. Jin hyung will reveal it to us in the end anyway," Jungkook hyung persuaded my inquisitive thoughts, loading the task of some obvious questions for another day.

We reached the special ward where Hannah noona is under the supervision of some highly qualified doctors in Seoul city, in unslumbering vigilance, having almost every doctor in a fret because of Jimin hyung's authority. They didn't know he was Lawyer Park but when the authorities of the State called, they knew he was a man of imperial judicial power.

"He is still in there," Jungkook hyung commented as we looked at him through the tiny see-through glass partition on the door. He was just sitting on the stool, adjacent to her bed, emotionless and vacant, his hands fidgeting restlessly, nothing but the sound of the clock's hand ticking every second, engulfing the sullen breathless silence.

"He never showed any interest towards her. I thought whatever he had with noona was just because he wanted to get V hyung's dander up but today, I have seen a different version of him today. Noona is really something, never knew V hyung and Jimin hyung would become fluffy cheesecakes," I muttered and found Jungkook hyung lost, his gaze fixed at the girl surrounded by the beeping hospital machines.

"Well, we lost you too," I mumbled under my breath, finding Jungkook hyung so engrossed in tracing the glass as he kept his eyes firm on noona. I don't even have the intention to muse on how this will lead to, with three grown-ass men fighting the world for her, not to forget that dingbat of Yeonjun infinitely crushing on her.

She'd definitely go insane

"Uh-huh," I gasped faintly as Jimin hyung caught us observing him. Jungkook hyung stepped back, turning to go but I didn't move on seeing Jimin hyung pace his steps towards us. The sound of the door opening had Jungkook hyung halted as well.

"Did you tell Kai to arrange security for Kyung Mi? The Military trained ones?" Jimin hyung asked, breathing exasperatedly and Jungkook hyung smiled, walking to him. Jimin hyung only stared at the younger as he held his hands, pressing them gently but with a subtle expression of love, an act of desperation to provide warmth, to express that he will be there for him always.

"Yes, I know you negotiated with the broadcasting heads that she would never take the role of doing those problematic lives but noona is stubborn. She quit the agency and started hosting her own channel on Youtube. Yeah, I know it all so don't worry, we all keep our eyes on our dear ones. We will not let any harm near Kyung Mi noona," Jungkook hyung assured him and I nodded as well.

"What about Aeri? Did you check all the security glitches? Also, I asked Taehyun to look after any data breaches, did he finish it?" Jimin hyung started questioning like he is on a treadmill and Jungkook hyung smiled genuinely to comfort him, nodding confidently, giving the once-in-a-blue-moon panic-stricken man, the much-needed reassurance.

As I was about to tell what Hyuka interpreted about the weapons, I was interrupted by a loud Avengers theme music only to realize my phone was ringing. Both the hyungs stared at me like I was some retarded booger ape while I smiled wide just like one.

"Noona, why the hell are you calling me? I am in the school for extra study hours," I whispered, trying to sound like I was at my school. Noona never calls me unless I had to do some chores for her as according to her, I was a useless assmonkey anyways.

"Shut the fuck up! School and you don't go right in place. If it did, I should pray that Korea wouldn't drown. Where the hell are you?" she yelled on the phone, almost making me trip over my legs. I held the phone away to ensure the safety of my eardrums.

"Noona, I am partying at Hyuka's place, alright? Now stop meddling in my life, I am not a kid. Why you gotta be so controlling?" I retorted, pulling up the façade of the rude ass brother that plays and breaks everyone's heart.

"Soobin, share your location. Don't play games with me, dad taught me a bit of ethical hacking and I have better knowledge over technology so don't try to play games with me," She warned and I was certain I could picture her folding her arms with a sharp glare on her face.

"Fine, Beomgyu had a bad stomach after eating all the junk at Hyuka's party so we are here for him at the hospital. Don't worry, you know his love for food will always have him alive. Now stop bothering me, okay?" I tried to end the call as soon as possible but stopped when I heard the loud gushing wind on the other side.

"Where are you? Shouldn't you be at your friends' house for your project? Are you on a train or bus?" I asked, quickly putting her on speaker while I checked on her location. I didn't want to violate her privacy but after the incident with those thugs, I had installed a tracker in her phone secretly. I never really spied on her unless I felt something was off on her side.

Thank God!

She is at an adventure park

"What are you? My dad? I will not tell you where I am. Remember that I am older than you and not the otherwise, idiot. Take care of your friend and stop feeding him all the shit snacks you eat," She ended the call abruptly and I frowned, shutting off my phone.

"What's it with her? Why do you always fight like that? Can't you just speak to her nicely for once," Jungkook hyung suggested and I scoffed, tossing the phone into my pocket. Jimin hyung stood silent, his arms crossed across his chest, zoning into another dimension.

"If I start acting good, I'd feel like spilling everything to her. Once she knows everything, she will be in trouble. It's always better for someone to have no idea about this. We all know the repercussions that come up after knowing Armor's existence, right?" I explained and he let out a small hum of agreement.

There were fine examples to prove my words right and no one with a brain would argue about that. Kyung Mi noona, Hannah noona, and many others who stepped into this dangerous shit were hit hard with the consequences. It's a one-way canal and we have to just keep going on, with our eyes always open.

"Hyung," a sudden yell caused us to look behind only to find Yeonjun running towards us, soaking in sweat as he stood in front of us, his hands reaching for his knees and he took in deep breaths. I quickly held him as he started stuttering and fumbling over his words while trying to tell us something.

"V hyung..V hyung... he..is,"

"First breathe, slowly and calmly," Jimin hyung ordered, grabbing Yeonjun by his shoulders. His eyes were red, bloodshot and his hands were trembling as Jimin hyung rubbed them gently. Yeonjun was usually calm and it brought me shivers if something bad had happened to V hyung.

Too many bad things at once

"V hyung," he started crying and Jungkook hyung reached out to him.

"What happened to V hyung?" he asked, his tone displaying the obvious apprehension.

"He is not stopping. He-he is harming himself. I-I tried bu-but he isn't listening to me at all. He is bruised. He is scraping himself with a knife and even if I took it away from him with so much force, he has many others. I-I don't know what to do," Yeonjun sniveled, rubbing his red nose vigorously with his hands.

"That stupid just got more stupid. Yeonjun, Soobin, stay here and keep an eye on Hannah, we will go to him," Jimin hyung stated as he fixed his watch and pulled out his phone, probably texting someone. Jungkook hyung drew out the car keys from his pocket and started marching ahead.

"Hyung, I will come too," Yeonjun requested.

"Me too. I will ask Hobi hyung and Yoongi hyung to be with noona until we get back here," I proposed and Jimin hyung pursued his lips, thinking for a moment as he noticed Jungkook hyung's vanishing figure. He then nodded calmly and we trailed behind him.

"You didn't have to bring them. V hyung will not like it. I am pretty sure he would be regretting all the scenes that happened with Yeonjun already," Jungkook hyung complained. Nevertheless, he drove us when Jimin hyung didn't bother to give him a reply.

───※ ·❆· ※───

"Sir, he ordered us to not let anyone in. We are sorry, sir. We are just doing what we have been told to," one of the guards outside his door informed us and Jimin hyung scoffed, eyeing at the guards dangerously.

"So, he thinks he can use the organization's security service for his personal service. I think you might have not read your terms and conditions properly. You are only confined to the orders of Armor for the organization's missions and events, not to an independent self unless he is paying you separately. Now that we want him for a mission, if you restrict us from entering his room, it will be regarded as an act against Armor and I hope you are aware of the out-turns," Jimin hyung snarled and the guards quickly moved away, bowing to him apologetically.

"Is there something like that?" I whispered.

"No," Jungkook hyung answered and I realized this was another tactic of Jimin hyung's. Even though I reviewed all the employee contracts of the organization, I almost believed his words and wondered if I forgot such an important clause.

"Kim Taehyung," Jimin hyung's voice seared through the room and my breath hitched on finding V hyung in one corner of the room, his shirt painted red, thrown away to another corner and his arms lacerated deep, bruised and unattended. There were knives cluttering all around the room and he was shivering, taking deep unstable breaths as he still continued to poke himself over the wrist.

"Oh, My God!" Jungkook hyung gasped, horrified at the sight, and ran to V hyung who was shuddering in blues. He pushed Jungkook hyung, throwing him a glower, and held his head as he tried to pull out his hair in frustration.

"He is having a panic attack," Jungkook hyung alerted us and Jimin hyung walked near him slowly.

"Whose knives are those?" he asked, his voice not sounding like the usual authoritative tone but more of a demanding one. V hyung looked at Jimin hyung and then at the knife he was holding, his hands tracing over the handle softly as tears pooled his eyes.

My eyes were clouded misty as this was the first time, I was witnessing him so helpless, so vulnerable, and someone who needs to be protected and taken care of at all costs. He always showed himself as an invincible fighter, the one who never fears death but we failed to notice, deep down, he was breaking apart and needed help.

He always took care of us, not in a lovely and affectionate manner but he was always there for us like a candle whose flame never extinguishes. But we never thought that he was melting, he was burning inside and suffering inside to only show us his fearless flare of luminescence, not the burnt ashes.

"Mina," he slowly answered, his voice almost inaudible if it wasn't for the vacant empty room.

"Do you think you have the right over those?" Jimin hyung asked and V hyung looked at the knives, all disorderly lying on the floor. He took a pause and then held the knife closer to his heart. He bit his lip as he swallowed a whimper and then broke into a stream of tears, shaking his head aggressively.

"Why do you think you don't have the right over those, Taehyung?" Jimin hyung asked, his strong gaze lingering on the quivering man as he continued to sob out loud, bawling his eyes out.

"Hyung, are you crazy, what are you doing? He is suffering and what the hell do you think you are doing? Is this the right time? Get lost! I shouldn't have brought you here," Jungkook hyung yelled at him and sat down behind V hyung, embracing him warmly as he tried to give any little amount of comfort he could.

"Do you really think you have right over those knives, Kim Taehyung?" Jimin hyung stressed again and I didn't fail to notice Yeonjun clenching his fists, gritting his teeth, evidently displeased and mad at Jimin hyung's brute actions.

"No," V hyung wept, hugging Jungkook hyung.

"Why do you think you don't have the right over them?" Jimin hyung asked and I looked at him in disbelief. I understand both of them don't get along but this is making me think if he had lost his common sense.

"Hyung, it's enough. Please, he can't," Jungkook hyung pleaded, his eyes watering but Jimin hyung's face was stoic and filled with no emotion.

"Why do you think you don't have the right over them?" Jimin hyung repeated himself.

"I-I killed her," V hyung wailed after answering and I stood in silence along with Yeonjun, not knowing how to react or how to comprehend anything.

"Do you think that's the reason, huh?" Jimin hyung answered, his voice seething in anger as he pulled the knife from V hyung's hands. Jungkook hyung parted from his embrace as Jimin hyung gestured him to do so. The elder kneeled even closer to the grieving younger and pressed his lips.

"Do you think Mina would want you to do this to yourself? Do you think you have the right to use those knives to do something that would make her unhappy?" Jimin hyung asked, holding V hyung by his shoulders as he waited for V hyung to answer.

"Wha-What are you-"

"You are a fucking idiot, you know? No matter what you do, it won't bring her back. It's not the right way to grieve. She would not want this," Jimin hyung voiced out, his tone blanketed with an emotion that we have never witnessed, a lone tear escaping his eye as he held him dearly.

"I- I didn't wan-didn't want to," V hyung blubbed and Jimin hyung put his head down, letting out his tears. Jungkook hyung looked at them with a smile as he continued to shed tears.

"I know. You never wanted to kill her. I know. I know that Taehyung ah," Jimin hyung muttered as V hyung fell on him. The older pulled him close, slowly rubbing his back as the younger was a sobbing mess in his arms.

"I-I never inten-intended to hurt them, no-not Mina, no-not Hannah. I would...I would never," V hyung mewled as he held onto Jimin hyung's shoulders while pressing his head more into the elder's chest, dampening his white shirt with his unending tears.

"I know. I know you would go to any lengths to protect something you love. At least, I am confident about that," Jimin hyung expressed as he sniffed and I wiped my tears that were grazing down without my knowledge.

"But they..they...You..said.."

"None of it was your fault. I hated you because everything was hard around me. We grew distant and nothing was ever the same again. I can't and will not tell you anything about how I feel. That's how I am. I couldn't contain Mina's death. It was so hard for me. And then, Eomoni too," Jimin hyung expressed his pain and it stung my heart at all the pain they were carrying behind the armor of their cold attitude.

They never told us their stories

But they knew all of our struggles

"I am sorry- It was all my fault. Every-everything is," V hyung apologized.

"Taehyung, it's not. I just knew things were too fucked up that we were dissolved in our own shit," Jimin hyung uttered and pulled out of the hug.

"Hannah-"

"She's fine. I just overreacted and I don't even know how that happened to me. Now, get up. We need to go to a hospital. Your wounds need to be treated or they will get infected," Jimin hyung helped V hyung stand on his feet and Jungkook hyung went to his aid.

"Hannah-"

"She's fine, hyung. Jimin hyung had the best doctors check on her. She is unconscious now due to fatigue and when she wakes up, she will definitely be on sass mode with you," Jungkook hyung jibed to clear the air of the ongoing emotional tension.

"I didn't know she is, she is.."

"She is what?" Jungkook hyung asked and Jimin hyung turned away, avoiding his questioning eyes.

"Eunae ssi's daughter," Taehyung completed and I stood frozen on the ground. I blinked twice before looking at Jimin hyung and at the ashen face of Jungkook hyung who was equally perturbed at V hyung's words.

What the Fuck!

Hannah Cooper?

Cooper?

Shit Shit Shit!

V hyung's whimpers resonated the walls drowning in silence. He looked like a weak man badly beaten down with sorrow. It then hit me like a tide, it was all more than clear to my dumb head now. Jimin hyung being extremely careful about Hannah, almost losing his calm which never happens in his life even if he is a few inches close to being run down by a train.

"You are telling me Hannah is Eunae ssi's daughter? You knew it all this while?" Jungkook hyung yelled and I felt the emotion in his words. I gulped down, staggering a few steps backward, my mind swirling around the past events and my breath turning shallow, reminiscing each encounter with noona.

"Oh My God! You masked her details, right? Oh God! How could you do this to us? You know how important she is to us. Why did you do it?" Jungkook hyung felt betrayed and I turned to Yeonjun who was standing there, still and shaken up just like me.

"I have reasons, alright? Firstly, I had to study her, I don't know anything about her even though she is my sister and I wanted her to find the motivation, even if it is out of helplessness or crude methods. There are people who are working two ways in Armor. I know you won't do anything against Armor but I wanted to keep it low, at least until I get a clue of who killed Eomma. So, I came to this decision along with President," Jimin hyung explained and I couldn't feel the floor anymore.

"The President knew too?" I asked and Jimin hyung just nodded. Jungkook hyung was about to walk towards me but I ran away from the place, wiping away the tears rolling down my eyes. The big messy sobs wouldn't stop even though I wouldn't want to look like a dejected person.

I kept running and running, I couldn't feel my legs or any pain even though my breath turned heavy with the increase in distance. I didn't care about anything, the pain in my heart was more than the weakness crawling down my muscles.

I was an asshole to her

Past

7th August 2007

"Did they bully you?" A tall girl asked and I shook my head, hiding my face.

"You should not be scared. If they bully you, they are bad guys, right?" Another girl, shorter than the one in front of me spoke, holding a small white rabbit plushie. It had a small orange carrot attached to it and I let out my hand with a pout.

"Do you want this?" she asked, smiling wide and I bobbed my head vigorously.

"We will give you this plushie and will buy your favorite chocolates but you have to do something for us," the taller one demanded and I thought for a moment.

"Just ask them to apologize to you and if they don't, hit them on the nose like this," The taller one enacted how to break a nose with her knuckles and the shorter one cheered for her. I shook my head sideways, scared of the boys who ate all of my snacks and took away my favorite crayons. When I tried to fight for them, they pushed me down and I cried as it pained a lot.

"Eomma said we should not hit anyone," I reasoned and they chuckled.

"You should not hit the good ones. The ones who bullied you are the bad ones. You can hit the bad ones," the shorted one winked and I fiddled with my fingers for a moment.

"Come on, kid. My sister did better than you last year. You should never let someone do that to you. Stand up to them and they will not bother you again," the taller one who happened to be the elder sister muttered and I nodded, scratching my head, still unsure of what was ahead.

"Come with us now," both of them dragged me while I frowned.

I only want that rabbit plushie

"Yah!" They called the guys who were playing see-saw and they got down, walking to us. They both stayed silent and before I could ask them anything, they pushed me in the front, making me want to run away in fear.

"What do you want? Soobinnie?" one guy mocked and I looked at them, scowling. I looked at the sisters but they didn't do anything,

"Say sorry to me," I asked, still feeling weak but the sisters are not doing anything.

"Sorry what? Will you bring your mommy tomorrow, Soobinnie?" another teased and I wanted to cry.

"Do it," I heard them mutter behind me and I remember what they told me previously.

It's not okay to hit people

But it's okay to hit bad guys

I quickly punched the guy in his nose and before they could retort, the sisters stood in front of me.

"If you hurt Soobinnie again, then all of you will have the same nose. I am learning martial arts, you know?" the older one spoke and they turned away, slowly at first, and then sped away.

"See, that was easy. My sister is the best," the younger hugged her sister and I smiled. I looked at the rabbit plushie in her hand and asked for it.

"Since you listened to us, here you go. Let's go to that store. I know that ajhussi, we can buy some chocolates," the elder one suggested and I nodded, happily accepting the plushie. And then, suddenly a thought popped up in my head.

"But Eomma said I should not trust strangers," I spoke and they chuckled.

"Then give back the plushie," the younger smiled and I shook my head, hugging it closer to me.

"Eomma said you should not take back your gifts," I spoke and they chuckled again, this time, making me smile.

"Don't worry! Your eomma knows us. In fact, she was the one who told us to pick you up with our driver today. Your sister is already in our car," the older one revealed and I smiled.

"I am Elsa," the older one introduced

"And I am Hana"

⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅

Present

"How could you do this to me?" I barged through the doors where I saw him in a meeting with two men in suits. I ignored their weird unwavering gazes and stood in front of the President as he looked at me in confusion.

"Where are your manners? Is that how you talk to me, the President?" he rasped but I didn't flinch in the slightest.

"Gentleman, we can proceed with this meeting after a few minutes. I think my employee has something important to say," he spoke politely and the man left his cabin after bowing to him and throwing disgusting looks.

He gestured the guards inside his room to walk out and they did while I was fuming in anger, ready to punch his desk.

"What did I do now? Why are you acting like that? Is there a problem? Why didn't Jimin inform me?" he asked and I scoffed, spitting on the floor.

"Why is he so important to you, huh? Why is it only him? Why the fuck did you hide about Hana noona from me? Why?" I roared and he stood in his place, silently entwining his hands as he bit his lips.

"Soobin, I had reasons,"

"Reason? Bullshit! You are always like this. But it is about Park Eunae's daughter. How could you do this to me,

Father?"
