"Adopted" Jungkook echoed.

"This Namjoon is so secretive, I must say." Yoongi said, rubbing his temples.

"I'll try to look into the matter, don't worry." Jungkook assured

Yoongi just hummed at that and got up to have some snacks for himself.

Jungkook was in his own world of several thoughts right now. He felt bad for Seokjin. To be treated like that from your brother must be very hard, he thought.

Jungkook was glad Yoongi never treated him like this after Yoongi's father adopted Jungkook.

Yoongi had always treated him like his little brother and helped him to become a man he is now, his father playing a big role at that.

Yoongi's father was a cop who wanted to make his son a cop too but Yoongi... he was different since his childhood. He always had been afraid of violence, he couldn't see anyone get hurt. Hurting someone with his own hands was impossible for him, even if it was for good. This had resulted in his father deciding to give up on his dream because he didn't want to force Yoongi. That was until he met Jungkook...

Yoongi's father had found Jungkook in a park, sitting on a bench alone. He was just 5 years old at that time.

Jungkook was an orphan. After gaining consciousness of his surrounding, that was the first thing he had learned. He had grown up in an orphanage with several kids, who for some reason, had disliked him. He had isolated himself from everyone, always stayed silent, never talked to anyone.

One day when some kids were bullying him, he had ran away from the orphanage, not knowing where he was heading. He could still see a little kid running with tears streaming down his face. A kid who was asking God why his life was this miserable? What did he do to deserve this?

In the past.....

He found himself in a Park. Sitting on a bench, he started sobbing. Morning tuned into evening, but he was still in the park because he didn't want to go back to that hell where no one valued his worth.

Suddenly a man approached him. Sitting beside him, he asked Jungkook if he was alright. Jungkook looked up at that man with teary eyes. When the man tried to touch him, he moved away, scared. The man smiled sympathetically at that.

"Don't you have anyone with you, kid?" The man asked

Jungkook shook his head.

"I don't have a family." He said sniffing, his voice raspy from all the crying.

The man felt really bad after listening to that. He held his in front of Jungkook, the kid looking confusedly at the man.

"Wanna come with me? I'll be your family." The man offered

Fear was visible in Jungkook's eyes. The little boy was too scared right now to trust anybody.

The man seemed to understand that.

"Wait a minute" he said, getting up to leave

Jungkook just sat there, bewildered.

"You should go with him." A foreign voice startled Jungkook

Turning his head, he saw a boy. He looked older than Jungkook.

"W-Why?" Jungkook asked

"Because it's good to have a family who's willing to take care of you." The boy smiled.

"Hey kid!!" The man who had left a while ago appeared again with a kid holding his hand.

The boy who was talking to Jungkook left without any word.

"Meet my son." The man said out of breath.

Jungkook turned his head to see a kid with a gummy smile on his face.

"Hi! I'm Yoongi." The boy introduced himself. "What's your name?" He asked.

For some unknown reason, Jungkook trusted him.

"J-Jungkook." Jungkook said

The man, who Jungkook learned by now was Yoongi's father let both the children talk to each other. Jungkook grew more and more comfortable with Yoongi as they kept on talking.

"Appa wants you to join us." Yoongi informed. " I don't have a younger brother, so why don't you come to me?" He offered

Jungkook smiled at that. It felt like he was smiling after years, honestly. He couldn't remember when he smiled last time. Slowly he nodded.

"Great!!" Yoongi cheered clapping his hands. Jungkook giggling at the tiny celebration in his baby voice.

The man smiled looking at both the children. Adoration visible in his eyes.

Present....

Jungkook could remember that day very clearly even though it was long ago.

Yoongi's father having decided to make Jungkook a cop, had been training him every single day making him stronger and stronger since then.

Jungkook had never attended school, he was home schooled by Yoongi's father. Yoongi was a genius since his childhood, always spending his time on computers and devices, making him what he is now. He spent most of his time in school, libraries or in the garage of their old house but he always took some time to play with Jungkook everyday, no matter what.

Jungkook remembered spending nights eating ramen and watching movies with Yoongi and his father, chattering and laughing.

Everything was going so good until the night of November 2010 came, bringing a storm in his and Yoongi's life.

"Jungkook!!!" Yoongi called interrupting Jungkook's thoughts. The latter not even noticing the tears that were forming in his eyes.

Jungkook blinked the tears away. "Yes?" He answered

"Do you know where ketchup is?" Yoongi asked

"Hold On! I'm coming." Jungkook stood up to leave.

"NO! NO!" You screamed in your sleep

"DON'T HURT HIM!!! NOOO!!" You woke up flinching with sweat drops on your forehead.

Getting up, you pushed the duvet away and headed towards the kitchen. Gulping a glass of water, you wiped your forehead.

Entering the living room, you opened the window to let some fresh and cool air hit you and calm you down.

You had that dream... again.

That night of November 2010 was still haunting you even after so many years.
The night..... he died, infornt of your eyes.

Ever since that incident you became afraid of dark because darkness always reminded you of that night. That was the reason you always kept your lights on even while sleeping.

Looking at the lamp which was illuminating in the dark, you sighed.

"I wish this would end one day." You fought back your tears.

It was pure silence. Looking up at the stars you blinked, unaware of Jungkook doing the same from the big glass wall of his room.
