Jin nods once. "I need to talk to you about him."
The air changes.
The tension between us is still there-thick, tangled, aching.
But now, it's not just about us.
It's about him.
About why Jin is here. Why he's doing this. Why, after four years, he finally reached out.
Not for himself.
Not for me.
But for Taehyung.
My breath catches.
Because if Jin is here-if he's willing to sit across from me, despite everything-
Then this is serious.
Then this is bigger than us.
I straighten, pushing past the storm in my chest.
"Tell me," I whisper.
And Jin does.
Not everything-but enough.
Enough for my stomach to twist, for my fingers to dig into my knees under the table, for my throat to feel tight as he speaks.
He tells me about the abuse, about the people who were supposed to love Taehyung but instead ruined him.
He tells me about the revised will, the way they beat him, forced him to sign away everything his parents left him, like he was nothing.
He tells me about how, after years of escape, they found him again-how they locked him up like he was a prisoner, left him to rot in the dark.
I can't breathe.
I can't move
My heart pounds so hard it hurts, but I don't interrupt. I don't even think I can.
And then Jin stops.
He doesn't tell me everything.
Because that's not his place.
Because Yoongi, Y/N, and Taehyung will tell me the full story tomorrow.
But what he does tell me is enough to wreck me.
Jin watches me, eyes sharp, knowing.
Then-he speaks again.
Low. Steady.
"I need you to listen to me, Namjoon."
I blink up at him, my chest aching.
"I didn't come here to talk about us," he says. "I came here to make sure you won't run away this time."
The words cut through me like a knife.
I open my mouth-to argue, to defend myself, to say something-
But Jin shakes his head.
"No," he says. "I mean it. I need to know you won't run from Y/N. From Yoongi."
His gaze darkens. "Especially not from Taehyung."

Something in my ribs cracks open.
Because there it is.
The real reason he's here.
Not just to tell me about Taehyung.
Not just to prepare me for tomorrow.
