Jimin woke up to see his sister sleeping peacefully.
He remembered about the day.
Their parents death anniversary.
They left the brothers all alone in this cruel world, in a cruel way.
But they left this world, leaving behind their most precious gift.
Aera.
Jimin smiled sadly.
He caressed Aera's face gently with his fingers.
She was their sister, without a doubt.
She got Yoongi's eyebrows.
She got Jungkook's round eyes and the mole under the lips.
She got Jin's nose.
She got Jimin's soft lips.
She got Namjoon's cute dimples.
She was a mixture of her brothers.
"Mom, Dad look. We have raised up Aera. We have protected her. She is so pure and innocent, mom. She is so kind and caring, dad. I hope you are happy, seeing us. I hope you are proud of us", Jimin mumbled as few tears left his eyes.
He wiped them off.
He kissed Aera's forehead and cheeks.
He sat up against the headboard and scrolled through the phone.
After an hour, he felt Aera stirring in her sleep.
He looked at her to see her, rubbing her eyes with her fist.
"Good morning, babes", he said as he caught her hand.
"Mmhmm. Good morning", she said as she struggled to get up.
He kept his phone down and pulled her up.
He sat her on his lap.
"Are you okay, baby? You seem tired", he asked looking at her tired face.
"Don't know", Aera said as she hugged him seeking some warmth.
He kept his palm on her forehead.
Normal.
He kept his palm on her chest.
Normal.
"It's maybe morning tiredness, babes. Just get a warm shower. Tell anyone of us, if you feel more tired or uncomfortable. Alright?",He said as he got up with her in his arms.
He was about to open the door, when she said,"Oppa, dress".
"I'm with you", he said as he opened the door and walked towards her room.
He closed the door behind and locked it.
He let her down on her feet.
"Go fresh up. I'll wait for you here. Don't lock the door. Call me if you need anything. You understand, baby?", he asked gently.
"Yes, Oppa", she said as she walked away slowly.
Something was definitely off of her.
Jimin sat on her study table as he called Jin and told him, about her.
After half an hour, Aera came out with a towel wrapped around her.
She went to the closet and dressed herself up.
She wore a floral shirt with plazzo pants.
Her mood was still down.
Jimin called her near him.
"Is it hurting anywhere?",he asked her holding her arms.
"Yes, Oppa. Like my body is hurting. You know like I am tired", she mumbled looking down.
"Come let's get you ready", he said as he pulled her to the dressing table.
He dried her hair and combed it into a neat hairstyle.
He picked up a set of cute earrings.
"All done. Aww, my baby looks so pretty", he said as he adored her face.
She giggled a bit and said,"Thank you, Oppa".
"Let's fill this tummy then", he said as he tickled her stomach.
She giggled loudly.
He smiled and they reached downstairs.
The atmosphere there was gloomy.
Jimin went upstairs to get ready.
But the anklet sound made everyone turn around.
Aera smiled at them.
Jin signaled her to come to him.
He was sitting on the couch with newspaper in his hands.
She went near him and hugged him tightly.
"Sit here, princess", he said as he made her sit her near him.
He picked up the thermometer from the table.
"Open your mouth,baby", he said as she opened her mouth.
He kept it gently under her tongue.
She closed her mouth and leaned against him.
Everyone was watching them.
They hoped that Aera would be fine.
Soon the thermometer beeped.
Jin picked up the thermometer and read the temperature.
It was totally fine.
She was not sick.
Maybe she can get sick soon.
"It's normal", Jin said as he kept it down.
"Tell me, if you felt any different, princess", Jin said as she nodded her head.
She went and hugged her brothers one by one.
Jimin came downstairs.
"Come let's eat", Namjoon said as he picked up Aera from his lap.
They were eating quietly when another pair of footsteps was heard.
Choi Sungmin came downstairs.
Jin clapped his hands.
A maid came in rushing.
"Sir, please sit here", she said pointing at the chair opposite to Seokjin at the other end of the table.
She served him, his food.
He ate quietly.
He knew the brothers were sensitive now.
It's better not to say anything right now.
After eating they all went to the dining room.
Aera was leaning against Jungkook as Hobi was on her other side.
They were mindlessly scrolling through the tv channels as Aera broke the silence.
"Oppa", she called out.
"Yes, baby", she heard back.
"You know Oppa, I never missed our parents or something. You know why?", She mumbled as she looked up at them .
They shook their head.
She could see some of them already has tears in their eyes, at the mention of their parents.
"Because you guys are my parents. I never needed anything besides you Oppa. I know you love me, more than any one can. I don't know Oppa. I don't know even if our parents are alive, they could love me like you do. Oppa.."she trailed off as she broke down.
Her brothers let their tears fall.
They hugged her like there is no tomorrow.
"Oppa, you can be sad as much as you want, only today. But I need my happy Oppa tomorrow", she said as she wiped her tears.
She wiped their tears.
"Alright", Yoongi said.
He was not exactly crying.
He just had a cold and distant look on his face.
After everyone sobered up, they decided to watch some movies.
Everyone was cuddled up against each other.
Aera was lying her head on Yoongi's lap.
Her feet were on Taehyung's lap.
He was massaging her legs and feet.
Yoongi was rubbing her arms and sides.
She felt her eyes drooping, from the relief her tired body is getting.
So, she slept hugging Yoongi's legs.
Uncle Choi was watching everything.
He just wished one thing.
He just wished how he could replace Yoongi's hands with his.
He shook his head and went out of the house.
He went to his best friend's grave yard.
He kept the flowers down.
He recalled their old memories.
He smiled sadly and went towards the Kim's mansion.
He saw that Aera was still sleeping and some of them were also asleep.
The others were just minding their own business.
He went straight to the room he was staying.
He took a cold shower.
His mind was closed with desire.
He jerked off in the name of Aera.
He finished his shower and went downstairs.
There was no one.
It looked like it will be going to rain soon.
Dark clouds were everywhere.
He went upstairs again.
Everyone's door was locked.
Lastly, he checked Aera's door.
It clicked open.
He went inside and locked the door.
Aera was there, sleeping peacefully.
He looked around the room.
It was dark as the curtains were closed.
He couldn't see anyone.
He smirked.
"A perfect chance", he mumbled as he took predatory steps towards her bed.
His mind was running wild with his thoughts.
He groaned silently.
He just watched her figure.
"No one drives me crazy, like you do Aera. I just can't wait to see you squirm under me", he said as he laughed silently like a maniac.
He removed the bedsheets a little.
He was about to touch her shirt.
He felt a cold metal on his head.
His blood ran cold.
A hand caught his hand in the midway in a iron grip.
Choi Sungmin started to sweat.
They were here.
For the whole time.
And he knew, he will not live.
He knew they were nothing but cold blooded monsters.
