Jimin was panting heavily as he completed the 150th round around their property.
Aera was cleaning the garden.
The siblings didn't even let them sleep peacefully.
They were forced out of their bed in the early morning and straight away got awarded with punishments.
Others were watching everything with sunglasses on and a glass of juice on their hands.
"Enough, now handle the house chores for the next month", Jin said as he raised his hand.
Jimin popped down with a sigh.
Aera was still doing her work.
Fifteen minutes later, she popped down next to Jimin.
"You both stink, go and shower", Jungkook said waving his hands in front of his nose.
The duo got up, but before going in, Aera hugged him, smearing the mud and sweat on his bare body.
She dashed away giggling and fist bumped with Jimin.
"Yaaahhh! You brat!", Jungkook screamed.
"Call her that one more time, your tongue won't be attached to your mouth", Yoongi said with seriousness.
Jungkook gulped.
"You got what?!", Chan screamed in disbelief.
Everyone in the class looked at him and he glared back.
"Drunk", Aera mumbled.
" Next time count me in bestie", he said only to get a smack in return.
"This is the first and last time", She said shaking her head.
"Oh man! I missed the sight!", He said banging his head on the table.
Aera sulked with a pout.
They were going to the second class, when all of a sudden a boy approached them.
He knelt infront of Aera making her startled as Chan rolled his eyes knowing what will happen next.
Aera held Chan's hand tightly as she asked with a shaky voice, "Mister, what are you doing? Get up please"
Everyone stopped their movements and started to look at the drama talking plece.
"Kim Aera, I love you the moment I saw you. I am willing to do anything you need. Can you be my girlfriend?", He asked as he took out a diamond ring from his pocket.
He flashed his smile.
To be honest, he was pretty handsome.
"Don't think too much Aera. I can give you anything you want. I have it all, money, luxury, a healthy body. I'm sure we'll be perfect", He said flashing her a smile.
Aera was processing everything.
She flinched when a part popper popped.
She kept silent feeling the eyes on her.
She hugged Chan unconsciously.
"Say yes, yes, yes, yes", the whole crowd chanted.
"What is happening here? Get to your classes", A teacher screamed, but no-one moved a single muscle.
He went away in frustration.
Aera never thought about this.
She was not ready for a relationship.
Her priorities were her family, friends and study.
She never thought beyond this.
"I'm sorry, you must have put so much effort into this. But I can't accept this. I'm not into any relationships right now ", Aera said with determination.
"Come on, don't be a bummer", Someone from the crowd screamed.
Nia and Tino were enjoying the scene.
"Girl, if I was you, I would have accepted him", A girl screamed.
"He did so much for you and you are saying no?!!", Another girl screamed.
The boy looked at her with hope.
"Accept him, accept him, accept him", the crowd started to chant.
Aera shook her head, burying her head into Chan's jacket.
He raised his hand as he glared at every single person present there.
"What fucking immaturity is this? Pushing a girl into social pressure, so that she can say yes to you? You are pathetic. If you really loved her, you would say this in a way that she is comfortable. And you think you did so much for her? ", He asked snatching the ring from his hand and crushing the ring with his feet.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOURSELF, HUH?", That boy screamed getting up.
Aera flinched at the sudden outburst.
She let out a sob feeling scared.
"I fucking lost my bet because of this bitch! Such a pathetic slut. Clinging on to that Kim brothers like a leech, for money and luxury and rejecting me even if I give the same to her. Tell me Aera, are your sugar daddies good in-", He was interrupted by a slap.
Chan stood there glaring at him with his other hand wrapped around Aera.
That boy was about to punch Chan when another hand stopped it.
The school Janitor stood there with a disappointed face.
"Kid, take her away", he said.
Chan glared at everyone for the last time as he brought Aera out of the crowd and went to their next class.
"Kids these days don't know the manners", he tsked with a sad face.
"Old man, let my hand go", the boy said with anger.
"As you wish", he said stepping behind.
He bowed down.
Everyone looked at the direction.
Principal came in with the Kim brothers.
The boy started to shake in his place.
Everyone could feel the dark aura radiating off them.
It made them want to kneel in surrender, but they can't move a muscle.
Jungkook looked around the place, filled with confetti, with a whistle.
"Where she is?", Taehyung asked with gritted teeth.
No one answered anything.
"I asked where she is?!", His loud voice echoed through the silent hallway.
"S-sunbaenim, with C-chan", Nia stuttered out.
Jimin looked at Taehyung and Jungkook.
They nodded.
Till date they didn't reveal her identity, because they wanted to maintain her individuality.
They don't want her to have a label of "Kim brother's sister".
But seeing some people take advantage, why not use their power to safeguard her.
"You are the pest, that disturbed our sister right?", He asked with a smile.
A creepy smile filled with a promise.
Gasps echoed through the hallway.
Murmurs went back and forth.
"S-she is y-your s-sister?", He asked sweating, knowing that he fucked up bad time.
"Yeah. If you touch her, you touch all of us. We will make your life a living hell. As a first step accept this", Jimin said and snapped his fingers.
The principal handed him a letter.
"You are dismissed. No school will accept you with a black mark on your certificate", the principal said in his professional tone.
The boy started pleading.
"Shh!", Jimin sushed him, "you don't know what we can do for her"
"If I see any of you bothering her, I won't think twice before snapping your neck", Jungkook said shrugging, his glare finally fixed on Nia, giving her a warning.
"This is our first and last time, warning you. The next time we won't talk. We can directly send you to the hospital", Taehyung said fixing his gaze on Nia as his hands were tucked in his pant pockets.
They left with the principal.
The people could finally breath in peace.
"I knew it. They won't get close to any random girl"
"She was lucky to be born in that family. If I was in her place, I would enjoy the luxury to its fullest. Ahh! diamonds, cars, dresses, woah!"
"Do you realise that she has seven fucking hot brothers. I would die to be in her place"
"KIDS, GO TO YOUR CLASSES, I NEED TO CLEAN THIS MESS", the Janitor screamed.
The crowd disposed slowly.
From lunch, Aera was in a better state because her brothers made her happy again.
It was after school.
She was sitting on the bleachers watching Jungkook practice.
Taehyung and Jimin were at the canteen buying some snacks for them.
Aera was startled when a voice said, "Did we disturb you?"
She looked at the side to see a group of girls staring at her.
"No, not at all", she said in a soft tone.
"Can we sit here?", A girl asked.
Aera nodded her head.
"So, what is it like living with them?", A girl asked curiously.
Aera smiled a little.
"They are the best. I love them and they love me, no, my Oppa said, they live for me", Aera said with a smile dancing on her lips.
"Oh, so could you see them like this?", A girl asked.
Aera frowned.
"Like what?", She asked.
That girl pointed in a direction.
Aera looked there to see Jungkook bending down wiping off the sweat on his forehead with the t-shirt's hem, showing a little sight of his abs.
Aera shrugged with a "yeah".
"Ah! What do you mean by yeah?", Another girl asked excited.
"Kookie Oppa never wears a shirt at home", Aera said.
"Ahh!", The girls screamed causing Jungkook to look up.
He raised his chin asking if she was fine.
Aera gave a thumbs up and signalled him to play.
He nodded and continued.
"Umm, what about your other six brothers?", A girl asked.
Aera shook her head not liking this.
She don't want to share their personal informations.
A girl noticed this and changed the topic, "Can we become friends?" .
Aera studied them.
They don't give her any good signs.
She didn't trust them.
"Can we visit your house please?", Another girl asked with enthusiasm.
"We don't allow strangers in our home", Jimin's voice could be heard.
They stood up in a hurry, bowed and left.
Jimin and Taehyung were standing there with their hands full of food.
"I don't know how to say no, without offending them, Oppa", Aera said with a pout.
She helped them as they sat down and started to enjoy the food.
"Learn it, babygirl. You'll need it more often", Taehyung said munching on the chips.
She nodded her head sipping on the milkshake.
