The sun blooms on the horizon, golden petals stretching ever outwards into the rich blue. You groaned because this was probably the 17th time you woke up from your fitful sleep. It was 5 in the morning and you were sick of TRYING to sleep again.

 Your soft, fluffy pajamas that were specifically designed for sleeping, imported from Italy, felt like skinny, high-waisted jeans and t-shirt bra with a full-sleeve top that was 4 times smaller your size. Your orthopedic mattress that was imported from France felt like a huge, cold marble tile. To make it worse, your cozy pillow that usually felt like a comforting cloud was as good as a brick. 

To sum it up, no matter how hard you tried to sleep and escape reality, you failed. You groaned, removing the quilt of you, as you lowered the AC by a few degrees. 

You turned on your TV and started nibbling on snacks from your pantry in the room. 

Four hours had passed...you noticed the clock. 

5:18?! I thought we were clear on that '4 hours past thing'!!

Or maybe time was painfully slow. Every minute that passed, made you agitated for every second that was going to come.

"Texting or calling her would be a bad idea ye?" Jungkook looked towards Jimin.

"A very bad one. Jungkook there's one thing she needs more than you right now...that's space...and there's one thing you need more than revenge...her. She's not mad at you or anything. But like you said, her brothers are her whole world. Please think 100 times before any and every step you take. It could affect your present and her future...not necessarily in a good way. It will all be okay one day, Jungkook-ah" Jimin said.

"Guys...coffee" Taehyung handed both of them the cups that he took from the maid. 

"Kook, y'know Jimin is right. It may seem like everything's falling apart but trust me, you will figure it out. We all will. Your relationship isn't that weak that a few hurdles can break it apart. In fact, this whole situation may strengthen it. So just relax and destiny do it's work" Taehyung patted Jungkook's back, reassuring his little brother that everything will work out in the end.

--

You were damn sure that Jungkook was being taken care of. They were reassuring him, helping him through this situation. You were satisfied that Jungkook had his brothers with him. But how about you? Both your brothers were against you. Probably even hated you. And now, in 10 minutes, you were gonna be interrogated. They gave you a heads up. 

But honestly, you didn't blame them. They had questions that you had the answers to. And although, you didn't wanna, as your guardian, it was their right to answer questions that weren't too personal.

You took a deep breathe, combined with a sigh. This could probably not get worse...

You heard voices downstairs. 

Shit... Yoongi and Hoseok. I spoke too soon...

Oh CRAP! I PROMISED HOBI OPPA I DIDN'T HAVE A BOYFRIEND. Ughhh! Take me away from here already!

You went down and saw all of them sitting together, discussing something pretty serious. You...

With a face full of guilt--although you did nothing wrong--you went and stood in front of them. You tried looking for an eye contact with Hoseok, hoping you would get a chance to apologize as soon as possible. But he avoided as much as he possibly could.

"Sit" Namjoon ordered. You walked towards the couch with shaky legs.

"We...have some questions, Y/n...questions that need to be answered. Every question we ask, has to be answered honestly. The lie detector is in the basement. Don't make me use it" Jin spoke coldly as you nodded.

"How long?" Yoongi sipped his coffee.

"How...long?" Namjoon repeated.

"How long has this been going on? Your relationship" Namjoon clarified.

"A-Almost a year" Yep...in 2 days, it will be a year.

What an L...Can't hang out with my boyfriend on our first anniversary. Honestly, I don't blame him if he forgets. We're going through a lot right now. 

"Get back" Jin's stern voice brought you back from thoughts.

"Hm...so you have any exes?" You shut your eyes tight.

"X-Xiumin..." You close your eyes shut.

"No...we caught you in the act. That doesn't count." You sighed as you heard Namjoon speak. "N-No...I secretly dated him...even after that."
"Really Y/n? after everything?" Yoongi said your name as if it was a disappointment.

"Glad you broke up...but why?" Jin asked.
"H-He was two-timing...I was...the one he cheated with...I-I had no idea he already had a girlfriend..." 
"What, really? Oh my god, the nerve of that boy! I wish your brothers warned you about dating him, Y/n! What a shame" Although angry, you could hear the sarcasm in his tone.
"It's your fault, anyway...you should've listened when you were asked to!"

Did he just gimme that 'I told you so' crap? Did he just tell me, it was my fault? Did he just make fun of my first heartbreak?

You gave him an offended look which went unnoticed by the 4.

"Anyway...How old is he?" Yoongi asked
"21..." 

"Did you know he was a mafia?" Namjoon asked.
"Not at first...I found out a few months after we started dating."

"Do you  know his undercover name?"
"No...He tried to tell me but I stopped him. I felt like I was in no position to know about his profession. It could put him in danger."

"Yet, you put us in danger." Namjoon scoffed.
"No oppa...I didn't. He knows nothing about the both of you. Not even your real names."

"Hmm...hyung...I think you should go ahead and ask the final question" Yoongi looked up from his cup, to make eye contact with Jin. 

Jin subtly nodded before looking back at you.

"Where, When and How exactly did you guys meet?" You closed your eyes shut. You secretly hoped the whole time that they wouldn't ask that question. You really hoped they didn't. You didn't know how to answer it. Include the Mr. Jeon part or not.

Hiding anything will make matters worse. You've lied enough.

"I-It was when you both were off to the business trip for 2 days...I was heartbroken, sad and anxious about what happened with Xiumin. I locked the door and...

...and...

...I..."

"And you what, Y/n...?" Yoongi asked.

"I...snuck out...from the window. I went to a park-"

"What time?" Jin asked, authority lacing his tone.

"T-Ten thirty..." 

"And...?" Namjoon asked.

"There was...there was a man in a black car. Honking at a dog. He was about to run him over but I hugged the pupp- Moni and stopped the car."

"Y/N WHAT THE HELL?! YOU ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT?!"  Both your brothers wanted to shout. They hid it. Yoongi couldn't and he ended up screaming.

"And the boy in your car is your boyfriend?" You nodded.

"And what if he was a kidnapper? Or our enemy who was trying to get to you to mess with us?" Jin asked.

"I-I got to know him before we started dating...he went to my school for a while"

"That...doesn't answer my question, Y/n" You looked down. How could you explain it to them that you trusted him 100%. But they would never accept that this was about your feelings.

Jin stood up.

"How stupid can you get? After everything? why did you do that, Y/n? We trusted you...we really did. But that had to be our biggest mistake." Jin spat bitterly.

"Go back to your room" Namjoon said coldly.

"H-Hyung she's about to cry" Yoongi whispered. 

"Let her" Jin said loud enough for you to hear. The 3 of them left. All hesitant. But 2 of them hid it well.

Hoseok gave you a look of pity. His brain wanted to move but his heart wasn't allowing his body to move an inch.

"Oppa...I'm really sorry. I really am. I shouldn't have lied to you. I-I was just scared you'd tell my brothers." You pleaded. Hoseok sighed.

"Let's keep the past in the past..." He muttered and left. Those 7 words were the only ones spoken by him during this whole interrogation. 

You groaned and jogged towards your room. 

--

"Can I come in?" Your head shot up towards the familiar voice. 

"Hobi oppa?" You wiped your tears and nodded. Didn't you come up just 5 minutes back. Why was he here now?

"I was quiet the whole time. All of them asked questions and you answered. But...I have questions too." You looked down. 

"Go ahead." You whispered, barely audible enough for him to hear.

"Do you really love him?" 

Your head shot up and a frown decorated your features.

"What...?"
"Do you really love him?" He repeated himself.

"I-I do...oh holy smokes...I love him so much..." A smile captured your face. Unknowingly, but you'd just given Hoseok a sense of comfort by just smiling. 

"He makes me feel so special. I mean...I always knew I was kinda...special. But what made me feel that was this...24k ring, this pure diamond necklace. This huge room. The bigger mansion. Every make-up product I own, and the comfort I live in. The designer dresses. Those. That's what made me special. Just materialistic things. I always knew I was different than others. They might be rich but they don't have this kind of stuff. But him...he makes me feel special as a person. Not in comparison to anyone...just myself. If he can't open up to anyone but me...then I have to be special...right? I really love him oppa..." Hoseok stared at your smile. 

This guy must mean a lot to you. 

The way you enthusiastically spoke even after having a shitty day. He felt bad he couldn't bring you guys closer. 

"I'm sorry, princess. I wish I could help you. But I can't." You smiled again. But it was more of a sad smile. 

"D-Don't apologize. I didn't expect anything. I'm just happy that you're not as mad as the rest of them.

"I was...I really was...but I realized anger's gonna do me no good. I should've considered your feelings. And if you ever wanna talk stuff out...I'm here..." He squeezed your palm.

"Thanks oppa...I love you"
"Love you too" He kissed the top of you head, ruffled your hair, and left. 

You sighed...

When will everything be alright?

--2 Days Later--

"Miss Y/n!! Your food" A knock interrupted my thoughts.

"I'm not hungry" I sent her back. 
"I want your plate empty" Jin walked in. 

Ugh...I have absolutely no appetite

"Y-Yes oppa..." Although he did it out of concern, you really hated him for threatening you like that. But to be fair, you skipped todays breakfast and lunch, yesterdays dinner, lunch and for breakfast, you had coffee.

You groaned and took the plate in your hands. Your anniversary started in 1 hour, exactly. It was 11 pm, and all you could think of was that. Nothing else, no one else.

You finished your dinner by 11:10, set the plate aside and tried to sleep. 

Both your brothers were asleep by now. You laid in bed, doing nothing. Just wanting to get out of the house, staring at the moon and stars.

And as time passed by, the clock struck 12. You shut your eyes tight, shortly after you stared at the biggest star in the sky through the open window.

Happy Anniversary, Y/n. Happy Anniversary, Kookie. I miss you. And I love you. I wish we were together.

You opened your eyes. 

A few years back, you'd rummaged through your parents junk. Which meant more than treasure to you. You saw your mother's diary. Yeah, yeah privacy matters...but you wanted to feel connected to your parents. And in your defense, you apologized!

In one of the entries she wrote that she wanted to marry dad. Although both of them had parents' blessings, LDR made it a task. Dad was managing business in London at the time and Mom was studying in Taiwan. It said that she wished on the shiniest star there was...on their 2nd anniversary...and the next year, they both were pregnant with Jin.

Just maybe my wish will be granted too...

Something hit the net of my window, making me flinch. I got up and opened the window and stood in the carpeted balcony. I saw a stone wrapped up in paper. I looked around.

and...

"Jungkook?!" I gasped, and whisper-yelled.

"I love you...I love you so so so much..." He said, loud enough for you to hear...but softly so your brothers couldn't.

"I love you too. I miss you so much babe..." I blew a kiss. He pretended to catch it. Cheesy...but cute.

"Y/n...I will try my best to fix this...I better leave now tho. I love you...bye"

"Bye, kookie. I love you too..."

I wasn't too scared of my brothers waking up. They had extra sound-proof windows, locked doors and they're heavy ass sleepers. Plus their rooms are literally across the world...

I hurry back inside and open the letter. It was creased because of how harshly it was wrapped.

Dear Y/n, 

First things first, 

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! Can't believe our first anniversary is this lame. But I swear I will make it up to you in the 2nd one.

Second...don't worry about the guards...I took care of them.

Third, i had a fever in 4th grade when we first started letter writing. I missed 5  language classes so screw my structure and format and just listen...i mean...read.

I suck at expressing emotions, Y/n...and you know the reason I airbrush my feelings and happiness all the time. 

I didn't realize what a shitty life I was living until you fixed me. babe. 

I know that even when you're not with me, you still are...and I don't need physical touch for reassurance. But with every second that passes...It scares me, Y/n. It feels like someone is taking you away from me, and I absolutely  can't do anything about it . 

Being a mafia made me think that I can get whatever I want whenever I want.  But my power is useless if our story remains incomplete. 

I want to fix this...so bad. And if they don't let me, your mr. gangsta might kidnap you. LOL.

Though, I did pinky swear that we'd run away. Screw it, I'm not ruining your innocence.

Hwanji misses you. Alot. She misses the presence of a girl around. Tae and Jimin hyung keep thinking about you too. It's like in this one year, you became their daughter. 

I've always valued every bit of you, Y/nie. But honestly, your absence makes me realize how much I need you. You're the best gift I've ever received from life. I love you

Anyway. It's probably late...you should sleep. 
Dream about me. 
Good night...love you...
And Happy anniversary to my ex-student, best friend and soulmate.  :)

Tears streamed down your face. 

I miss him so much. Why do my brothers have to do this. Why must they oppress me?

I get the fact that they were trying to protect me. But they didn't even hear me out. They didn't even give Jungkook a chance. 

This has to end. I have to take a stand for myself. Fck rules. I won't take their shit anymore.
