Yoongi just watches Hoseok running to his house, he is not even complaining that Hoseok didn't even bid him goodbye.

"Why am I friends with that dork?" Yoongi mutters to himself and heads into his house. He went to grab the door knob but his younger brother already opens it.

"Oh! Hi hyung," his younger brother greets but he got shoved by Yoongi.

"Yoongi! Say sorry to Jihoon," their father says.

"It's okay father. I'm sur-," Jihoon says but got interrupted.

"Say sorry now!" Their mother yells.

"Sorry," Yoongi coldly says and going to his room.

This is the life that Yoongi doesn't want to have, parents that have a favorite child. His parents favor his younger brother, Lee Jihoon, than him.

Yoongi starts to get jealous of his own brother and hated about everything about him and sometimes questions his own capabilities.

1:01 a.m

Yoongi is still awake, insomnia is hitting him. He stands up, crouches down and gets a stash. A stash where he keeps his lighters that he will exchange for a lollipop at the Magic Shop. Yoongi doesn't know why he gets a lollipop when he gives the lighter at the figure before, but now he knows.

The lighter signifies the rage and the envy of his brother. He gets his first lighter at a bench when he is walking home from school, he always pass through the park while he is walking home, there he finds the lighter.

He exchanges the lighter with the rest of his friends, except for Jungkook, and gets a lollipop.

When he is full of anger because of his brother, he takes a chance to get out of the house and heads to the Magic Shop. When he gets back home, his parents won't give a damn about where he was because they only care is their little Lee Jihoon. He just wants to be noticed by his parents but he is bad at expressing his feelings to a person.
