"It's 10 pm. He should be out soon." You noted, taking a look at your wrist watch. As expected, Seokjin exited his bakery.

After talking with him this morning, you had noticed his uneasiness. It was obvious he was hiding something. So, you had decide to have a conversation with him yet again, this time alone, without Jungkook.

You were going to call his name but suddenly someone else approached him.

The silhouette looked kind of familiar to you. It was a little dark and a hood was covering the face of the unknown man.

The bakery was closed so what was this man doing here?

The look on Seokjin's face was saying he knew this man. The man whispered something in his ears making him nod in fear and with that they both started walking away.

Something in you told you this was hella suspicious so, you started following them.

This was dangerous but that was less of your concern right now. You were worried for Seokjin.

After what felt like forever to you, both the men finally stopped infornt of a house.

Seokjin walked towards the front door, fetching a key out of his pocket, he started to unlock it.

So this was Seokjin's home?

Both the men entered the house and quickly shut the door close.

"Shit" you cursed under your breath after realizing you can't enter the house now.

But you couldn't leave Seokjin alone like that. You had to do something. So you started to look for a way to sneak in.

Soon, you found an opened window at the back of the house.

Why was it opened?

"Screw it" you mumbled and quickly sneaked into the house from the window.

You guessed it was Seokjin's room. Walking towards the bedroom door, you opened it a little, enough to take a look outside.

That's when you saw two men talking to each other in the living room. It was obvious, one of them was Seokjin but who was the other one?

You opened the door a little more to hear the voices.

"How many times am I supposed to repeat myself? I told them just what I told the cops, nothing different." Seokjin sighed

It looked it he was talking about what happened this morning.

"I hope you are not lying because you can get us in trouble, Seokjin." The man uttered

That voice was familiar.

You repeated his voice in your head again and again to remember and that's when it clicked.

"Namjoon" you gasped, silently.

"I'm not lying." Seokjin denied "I told them I saw Black Knight that night." He added, hanging his low

Was he ashamed? Was he guilty?

Wait a minute...

"I lied, just like you told me to do." He mumbled, making your eyes blow wide in shock.

Seokjin was lying all this time about seeing Black Knight?

And why did Namjoon tell him to lie?

"Good" Namjoon remarked

"What if they come again?" Seokjin asked

"They won't. I'll handle it." Namjoon said. "I should leave now, it's getting late." He then added.

"You can stay here. It's your home too, in a way" Seokjin suggested to which Namjoon gave an unimpressed look

"I'll leave" he announced, ignoring Seokjin's suggestion

There were chances of the baker walking in his bedroom once Namjoon leaves so, you decided to leave too.

You jumped out of the same window you came in from and started walking towards the front of the house, without realizing Namjoon was exiting the house too.

You were about to take a turn- which you didn't realize would lead to you coming face to face with Namjoon- when a grip on your waist pulled you backwards.

You opened your mouth to scream for help, thinking it's a kidnapper or something but a hand covered your mouth, thus muffling any sounds.

Your back was pressed against the chest of the person who was holding you close.

You were scared to death.

"Try to stay away from this matter."
You heard Namjoon's voice from a distance. It looked like he was talking to Seokjin.

That was when you realized that Namjoon was out of the house right now and this person, who you thought was a kidnapper, was actually saving you.

Few seconds later, no voice was heard, making it obvious that Namjoon had left and Seokjin had probably went in.

Slowly the person behind you removed his hand from your mouth, making you finally able to breathe. His grip on your waist was still tight in order to still you from moving or turning around.

Your heart was pounding fast in your chest. Even though this person was helping you two seconds ago, you were still afraid of him.

"W-Who are y-you?" You whispered

There was just silence, no answer

Slowly, the grip on your waist loosened. It was like he was giving you the permission to turn around and so you did.

As soon as you saw him, all the air got kicked out of your lungs

"Black Knight?" You gasped in shock.

There was no way it wasn't him. His hidden face, his outfit, his aura, everything was giving away he was none other than The Black Knight. You knew him all too well to not recognize him.

Upon hearing you call his name, he looked up, straight into your eyes, making a shiver run down your spine just from his gaze.

But for some reason, those eyes looked familiar to you...

In a swift motion, he pulled his hood over his face and ran away. It was like your feet were rooted to the ground because, you just stood there, watching his figure disappear from your sight.

-------
"Just when I thought this Namjoon is innocent." Yoongi sighed

Jungkook just stayed silent because he was lost in his own thoughts.

"I can't believe she went there to spy on him." Yoongi then shook his head in disbelief.

"She's too brave. " Jungkook remarked, taking off his jacket

"Looks like she sensed something too." Yoongi guessed

Jungkook just hummed at that.

After leaving that bakery this morning, Jungkook had made the decision to make Seokjin speak the truth and he knew that the baker will do it in front of the Black Knight.

With the help of Yoongi, Jungkook had found his address and had sneaked into his house from that window. Jungkook had been waiting in the kitchen for Seokjin to arrive. To his surprise, he had came with Namjoon which made Jungkook change his plans.

While listening to their conversation, his gaze had fallen on your figure, peeking from the bedroom. Jungkook had been shocked to see you there.

After the brothers were done talking, he had watched you leave. Jungkook had somehow managed to follow you out of the window and save you from walking into Namjoon.

He shook his head, smiling, while remembering the events.

"She is truely unbelievable." He commented

-----
"That wasn't real, was it?" You asked to your reflection in the mirror.

You still couldn't believe you saw HIM in real life.

"Is my mind playing games with me?" You questioned yourself

But deep inside, you knew, you knew it was real. That gaze, that touch, all of it was so real.

Turning around, you walked towards your bedroom wall. Eyeing the pictures of the man whose face was covered in the mask, you sighed. "It was really him."

You had the chance to talk to him, to hear his voice, to ask him questions in that very moment but your brain had decided to shut off in the exact moment.

"It was once in a lifetime chance. It's not like you get to see him everyday." You scolded yourself.

------
As soon as Jungkook took his seat beside you, Hoseok approached you.

"Y/N, Boss wants to see you right now." He smiled politely at you

You gulped. The words he told Seokjin last night were still ringing in your head.

"What if they come again?"

"They won't. I'll handle it "

Jungkook noticed your tensed look. "I'll come with you." He uttered. His soft voice somehow comforted you a little.

"Come in" Namjoon said after hearing the knocks on his door.

You opened the door wide and entered in the office with Jungkook.

"How can I help you, Sir?" You asked him politely

Namjoon didn't answer for a while. Probably looking for words.

"Do not visit him ever again." He ordered

You knew very well he was talking about Seokjin but you decided to act dumb

"Who are you talking about, Sir?" You pretended to be confused

"Kim Seokjin." He uttered

Jungkook's gaze on Namjoon was intent. He was trying to read the CEO's mind.

"But why?" You wanted to know

"Just don't."

"I'm sorry but I can't. I'm helping Taehyung here and I'm afraid, for doing that I'll have to go against your orders." You spoke up

"What did you say?" He sounded annoyed. "I'm your Boss."

"A Boss who told his brother to give a false testimony about someone's death?" You talked back

Jungkook was taken aback by your confidence.

You didn't plan on doing this honestly but everything about Namjoon was confusing you so much.

Clearly your Boss didn't have any idea he was playing with people's feelings with his stupid decisions.

Seokjin and Taehyung were a big proof of it and you couldn't take this anymore.

"Do you even know what you are saying right now?" Namjoon tried to scare you but deep down he was scared himself because he had no idea how you knew all of this?

"I am well aware, Sir." You clenched your jaw. "It'll be better for you to drop your act now." You uttered

"Y/N!" He stood up, shouting

Jungkook quickly stepped infornt of you in a protective manner.

Your gaze quickly softened at that.

"H-How do you.... " Namjoon stuttered

You just stood silent

"Let's talk" he then suggested

------

"Why did you do that?" You asked, taking a seat.

Namjoon was not liking the way you were behaving like the superior one here but he had no choice but to answer your questions truthfully because you had threatened to expose him.

Thanks to Jungkook for giving you that idea.

"I was... I was threatened to convince Seokjin for lying." Namjoon sighed

"Who threatened you?" You wanted to know.

Namjoon bit on his lip. It was like he was trying not to spill more.

It looked like he's scared....

"Who?" Jungkook repeated, his tone was so demanding that it made Namjoon visibly gulp.

"Leader." Namjoon eventually uttered

"What?" Jungkook and you uttered in unison

Flashback......

"Just tell the cops you saw Black Knight. Tell them you saw him hurting the man." Namjoon ordered

"What are you saying Namjoon? I can't lie." Seokjin denied

"You have to do that!" Namjoon raised his voice

"W-Why?"

"Because... Leader wants that."

Seokjin gasped at that. "How do you know him? He's not a good man, Namjoon. You-

"Shut up, okay? Just shut up. I don't know him." Namjoon said, annoyed by the other male.

"Then how.... why.....

"It's because of you. It's your fault!" Namjoon yelled

"What are you even saying?" Seokjin sounded hurt

"It's because you saw those guys beating that man in the alley. Those... those were Leader's men." Namjoon revealed

Seokjin looked like he was shocked

"They saw you and now they are threatening me that they'll bring my company down and.... kill me." Namjoon said.

Seokjin was left speechless

"So for fuck's sake just do as they please. They want to put the blame on Black Knight."

"Namjoon, I-

"If you don't want to see my dead body then just say that you saw Black Knight."

"No, Namjoon. What are you saying? Don't say such things. You'll be fine. I-

"Shut up!" Namjoon yelled, making Seokjin flinch

"You've always been a nuisance, Jin. You bring nothing but problems to me." Namjoon pulled on his own hair

"W-What do you mean?"

"Because of your mother, my father left me and Mom. Because of you, he forgot he has another son and you weren't even his own blood." Namjoon screamed

Seokjin realized there were tears were forming in his eyes.

"He ran away with Mom and left me on my own, Namjoon." Seokjin said

"No. He didn't leave you on our own. He told my mother to take care of you, his another son." Namjoon scoffed but there was pain visible in his voice.

"After letting us die for years, he comes back just to hand us another life to take care of." He then added

Both the brothers had a really complicated back story.

Namjoon had been living his life happily with his father and mother until his father met Seokjin's mother and fell in love with her. He had left Namjoon and his mother for another woman.

Seokjin's mother was a widow with a single child when she had met the man. He had promised to give her a luxurious life which made the couple marry each other.

They had decided to leave their families and settle somewhere else. That was the reason, they had handed Seokjin over to Namjoon's mother.

Namjoon despised Seokjin since his childhood. He blamed Seokjin for making his father run away from them even though Seokjin was innocent.

Namjoon's mother never really talked to Seokjin in her life.

Namjoon didn't want the world to know the real story so he made Seokjin his ADOPTED brother. After becoming the successful personality he was today, he decided to hide his relationship with Seokjin from everyone. Because he knew, people will question him thousands of things he didn't want to answer.

"I- " Seokjin tried to say something but nothing came out

"Just leave" Namjoon ordered, breathing heavily

"I'll do what you tell me to, Namjoon. I will... " Seokjin trailed off

Present.......

Namjoon told you everything that happened that day expect for the brother's argument on personal issues.

"You got your answers. Now keep your mouth shut and don't tell anyone he is my brother." He uttered

You exhaled a breath, trying to process everything.

I'm not satisfied with this chapter but it's not like I'm totally disappointed too. Whatever.
