Y/n looked at Jungkook who blinked his eyes and she slowly detached herself from Taehyung's hug, who first gave a look to Jimin and then shifted his gaze towards Jungkook. "Isn't it obvious Jimin?" She interfered in between, seeing how Jungkook was taking time to respond.
He can't even make up an excuse! Idiot!
"I was there. He went there for me." She shrugged her shoulders, her regular blank expression marred on her face but only Jungkook felt the subtle glare which he received from her. "Noona!!" He frowned, ignoring others who were present in the room as his mind was occupied with something else.
"You never hug me the way you hugged him." He pushed forward his index finger towards Taehyung, while his big eyes squinted as complained to her. "Because she doesn't love you." Taehyung glared at him, frowning at his sudden words.
"I was the one who took you to the doctor and you scolded me when I was worrying for you but you hugged him instead." He completely ignored Taehyung. Namjoon and Jimin sighed at his behaviour but they didn't know how he became a baby when things came to Y/n.
She still had her blank expression, as her eyes were fixed on a pouting Jungkook, too accustomed with his tantrums since childhood. No matter how cold and distant she behaved, he always made a way to get her attention and affection which surprisingly she provided him from time to time.
"Jungkook!!!" She voiced out a little sternly and saw how his face fell. "Even I was worried for you. But you only care about the new people in your life." He mumbled, eyeing Taehyung once who just blinked at him in amusement. "Aahhh.." She sighed when Jungkook turned back and left the mansion.
"I will come back in a minute." She spoke before walking towards Jungkook, whose retreating figure was still visible. "But you need rest." Taehyung held her wrist when she was about to leave. "Didn't you see that my baby bro is sulky." She let out a small smile and patted his hand which held her wrist.
"I am fine." She assured him and Taehyung let her go. "Cute." Jimin smiled at the siblings after she was gone letting a small smile surface up on Taehyung's lips while remembering Jungkook's sulky face. "Yaah!! Where are you going??" She tried walking fast behind him but the injury didn't let her.
"Why are you following me? Go to your new family." Jungkook threw his hand in the air, pointing at the mansion. "Stop!!" She chuckled at his behaviour and held his arm. "You won't change ever right?" He looked away from her with a small pout. "My fault that I won't. Maybe because you are my only family." He responded sharply.
"Remember one thing. I am only going to stay with you. Not him." Though his words were true, yet it stung her heart. Why can't both stay? "Of course I know! Stop sulking now!" She squished his cheeks with her hands, making his lips bulge out.
"And also stop being jealous of them. Kook, you are my family. First you used to be jealous of oppa and now Taehyu-" She abruptly stopped after realising what she said. She brought up his topic again even after swearing not to think about him.
"Noona..." Jungkook blinked his eyes at her as her smile faltered while memories of him flashed like a movie one by one. "You know that he is in Seoul currently." She looked up in surprise after Jungkook completed speaking. He simply nodded his head, assuring her.
"He even contacted me once and also.." Jungkook took a brief glance of Y/n who looked lost. "...he asked about you too." He completed speaking. "Doesn't matter. He chose her over us anyways... so doesn't matter." "But Hyung wasn't wrong too-" "Kook!" Jungkook was cut off by her as her gestures clearly showed that she wasn't in a mood to talk about him.
"Anyways....you tell me first...you love me more than Taehyung right?" And Jungkook was back to square one in a flash of light. "Yeah yeah big baby." She agreed at once not wanting him to curse Taehyung in his mind anymore. She couldn't help but engulf him in a warm hug while patting his back with care.
Jungkook was her family. Even after being an orphan.

Taehyung's POV :-
Post dinner, I entered my room, only to see her applying moisturizer on her face. I stood at the doorstep, looking at her back as she had changed into her navy blue silk nighty. Just looking at her, memories of the afternoon came rushing by.
I was scared to my guts when I came to know that she was present in the building when the bomb blast occurred. I felt like my soul had left my body and my palms were sweating because of stress. Never in my dreams have I thought that out of everyone, she would become someone in my life, for whom I will become this crazy.
She makes me feel weird emotions. Things which I have never experienced before. Earlier I hated it when she even looked at me and now I become desperate for her attention. Earlier I wanted to stay as far as possible from her and now her absence stings me in the worst way possible.
I gulped a lump down which was forming on my throat and took quick steps towards her before engulfing her in a back hug. Her body jerked a little as she was taken aback by my small gesture. "Let's not fight anymore." I mumbled with my lips pressed on her shoulder blade.
She sighed and continued resuming her skin moisturising session. "But why? Don't you hate me?" She replied and I pulled her closer to me. "Yes I do. Of course!!" My voice was laced with sarcasm.
Can't she understand by now that I have anything but hatred in my heart for her?
"You only told me...that I am not your wife and that I pretend to care for you." She looked up at the mirror and our eyes met through it. "The first part is false but the second part is true." She turned to face me and her eyes sent silent complaints towards me.
"What? I ain't wrong though! Yes. You are my wife and again YES....you pretend to care for me. You actually don't!!" I tilted my head, my face falling down while I started sulking. "And you suggested not to fight anymore!" She sighed, folding her arms above her chest.
"You didn't even argue back saying you genuinely care for me." I couldn't help but frown at her. I know many people will find me weird and irritating but it is the way I am. I need confirmation time to time. I need security time to time. I need it. I need it from her. Or maybe....I want it from her. Willingly.
She gave me one brief look before trying to walk past me but I blocked her way. Wait here lady! Where do you think you are going? "Tae..." She blinked in calmness, as if asking me to let her go. I stepped a little more closer to her, pinning her to the dressing table and moved my left hand to hold her nape.
Her eyes went wide when I pressed my lips on hers and pecked her for a couple of seconds. "You have no idea how relaxed I felt when I saw you walking inside the mansion today. Safe and sound." Her wide eyes blinked once after I spoke and I saw those blank and dark eyes sparkle a little.
"Here." I took her left hand in my right one and put it on my chest, right above my heart. "It was hurting me here." I confessed to her honestly. I have nothing more to hide from her anyways. I don't know if my growing feelings for her is strong enough to name it as love or not, but I know this much that this woman, right in front of me is way more important to me than anyone can think.
"Taehyung..." She let out an airy breath while I gazed into her black jets eyes which were showing unsaid emotions to me. They were usually blank with a facade but now her facade was down. They were sparkling. Sparkling with emotions which is deep-rooted in my heart.
"Please. For me. Never be in danger again. Especially when I am not with you." I gulped another scrared lump down my throat and before she could knew it, I have already capture her plump lips in my lips cage. Her body leaned back on the dressing table as my action was a little aggressive but it was quickly tamed as soon as I felt the erratic taste of her Chapstick against the rough edges of my tongue.
I pulled her waist closer to mine, pushing her body back, caging her in between my arms. The feels that a simple kiss with her gives me is something I can never define in words. I was never attatched to a woman to this extent in my entire life. She is the very first woman whom brushed the strings of my heart making it sing the tune of her name. Always. Like crazy.
Am I going crazy?
She wanted to say something to me but her words were muffled by me. I wasn't in a mood to talk. I just wanted to feel her close to me. Just stay. You don't have to do anything else. Just stay. That's it. It was matter of moments when I felt her fingers slide through my arm and brush against my neck before they grazed deep into my locks making a path for them.
I bend down a little, still not breaking the kiss and slid my hand behind her knees to scoop her up from the ground. When she gasped in surprise, I inserted my tongue inside her mouth, getting the faint taste of the food we had some time ago. Taking slow steps, I kept her down on the bed and layed next to her.
Gasping for breath, we detached our lips while my heart and mind both were playing havoc inside me. I stared at her face which was panting a little for air while I was hovering over her. She licked her lower lip and for the first time I saw nervousness flick through her eyes. I smiled at her simply before pressing my lips on her forehead.
"Relax. I won't do anything more." I assured her, though I wanted to do so many things to her. I wanted to love her. I wanted to cherish her. I wanted to make her heart flutter. I wanted to make her smile. Only her. She sighed when I moved from her but pulled her in my embrace.
If not anything, then just let me hold you for this night. Till my heart feels at ease. Till my senses become numb. Till my mind believes that you are actually safe and it's not my delusion. Let me hold you till I fall asleep. In your atms.
Author's POV :-
They didn't exchange anymore words and slowly drifted into their slumber amidst the darkness of the night, tangled in each other's arms, breathing in close vicinity as their heartbeats synchronised together to beat in one rythym of sweet music.
After a few days :-
Few days passed post the incident and Y/n could see a shift in Taehyung's behaviour towards her. Though he was still bratty at times and still seeked for all her attention, throwing tantrums at her, yet he started putting some efforts into this relationship which was bothering none but her.
Also another thing which was bothering her was him. Jungkook told her numerous times that he wants to meet her in person and she always denied it but for how long? He was in the same city after all. If not today then someday he might cross paths with her.
"Okay fineee!!!" She yelled while talking on her phone. Taehyung who was about to enter inside the room halted his steps after hearing her yell. "Tell him that I will meet him today only." She clenched her jaws while Taehyung blinked his eyes in confusion.
Him? Who?
"I don't understand one thing. We broke our relationship long back then why the hell does he wants to meet me now!! Ahh!!" She growled for one last time before stomping towards the washroom, completely unaware of the presence of a certain someone outside the room who was frowning by now.
Relationship? What the hell????
"Is she gonna meet her ex or what?" Taehyung frowned deeply, his breathings quickened a little while his mind was stuck at her words.
