The first exam was over.
Aera was satisfied with her performance.
Chan and Aera were coming out of the exam hall.
"Bestie, come to the p.e room after lunch", he said.
"Ok, Chennie", she nodded her head.
The school ends in the evening, but the students had free classes.
The siblings were at their usual spot, having their lunch.
Aera was feeding Jungkook, even though he refused.
The whole time, she was worried about him.
She didn't touch her lunch yet.
As Jungkook was done, she wiped his lips and kissed his cheek.
"Thank you so much, my bunny baby", he said caressing her hair with a smile.
"It's my pleasure oppa", she said giving him a cheeky smile.
She was about to take her food, but Jimin took it in his hands.
"Open up", he said feeding her.
She noticed Jimin and Taehyung were done with their food.
Jimin was having a serious conversation with Taehyung regarding some business.
Even Jungkook was listening to what Taehyung was saying.
Aera's mind was floating somewhere else.
"I'm done oppa", she said shaking her head.
"Looks like this tummy needs more food", Taehyung said rubbing her stomach, causing her to laugh.
"It's really full, I promise", she said smiling.
"It's okay", Jimin said and started to eat the remaining food.
Jungkook pulled her to him, making her lean against him to caress her soft locks.
She was playing with his jacket as her brothers continued their business talks.
Aera opened the p.e room door, finding some students sitting in a circle .
Chan got up and rushed to her.
"Chennie, what's this?", She asked confused.
Chan wrapped an arm around her shoulder and said, "we are going to play truth or dare".
Aera froze on her place.
The last time experience was traumatising enough.
She was not at all ready for another one.
Chan looked at his best friend, lost in thoughts.
"Hey", he shook her a little .
"I promise nothing will happen like the last time. We have certain rules this time. I'm here with you, this time", he said dragging her with him.
Nia and Tino were also included.
They looked at each other wondering what's going on.
Aera sat with Chan.
"Listen carefully. No sensual and sexual questions or dares. If you break this law, i will personally kick you out", Chan commanded.
Everyone nodded their heads .
Aera passed a small smile to Chan.
The game began.
This time Aera had so much fun at the crazy and funny stories.
It was her chance.
"Truth or dare", Chan asked.
"Truth", she said.
Tino nudged a boy beside him.
Chan noticed everything.
"Aera-shi, let's suppose, if you were bullied by someone secretly, will you tell this to your family?", The boy asked.
Without a hesitation Aera said, "yes, i will".
"Wouldn't they consider you as weak unnie? I mean you are old enough to deal with that right?", Nia asked.
Nia was trying to devise another plan, by arranging secret bullies.
So now she is trying to foresee what kind of output would they get.
As long as Aera won't open her mouth about bullying, it would be alright.
She guessed Aera would never tell her brothers these things by herself.
Aera was a girl with lot of insecurites. It was what Nia could comprehend.
Aera looked at Nia with a smile.
"Nia-shi, i am old, don't rub it on my face", Aera said with a little laugh.
"But i am a human too. You know everyone has their weaknesses and strengths. I acknowledge the fact that I am weak", Aera paused.
Her lips curved in a genuine, heartfelt smile.
"My brothers had been seeing me in my most vulnerable states. Sometimes embarrassing situations too. They knew my plus and minus. So, I won't hesitate to tell them my troubles ", Aera concluded.
Tino sighed.
Looks like another plan failed, even before it could start.
Nia gave Aera a tight smile as her hands were fisted.
Chan smirked enjoying the whole situation.
Finally, the bottle landed on Nia.
"Truth or dare", a boy asked.
Nia knew that Chan would raise unwanted questions if she chose truth.
"Dare", she said.
"Eat this whole packet", Chan opened his bag and handed Nia the species to packet of chips.
Aera never knew what it was, so she remained silent.
Nia widened her eyes.
Chan gave her a look of 'take that bitch'.
So, this was his plan all along.
Nia hesitantly opened the packed and ate the first piece.
Her eyes watered.
She took some more bites.
She couldn't manage and ran off to the washroom.
Chan's eyes landed on Tino.
Tino started sweating.
"Guys my mom is waiting outside for my dentist appointment", he said and ran off with his bag.
The game continued peacefully.
Aera made a few acquaintances.
Aera was alone in the big mansion, with Hanam.
The Maknae Line had dropped her off at home and went straight to the company.
Hanam made her some snacks which Aera accepted gratefully.
She didn't change out of her outfit, feeling a little uncomfortable, with the presence of another person.
It was around ten, when the Kim brothers made their way in.
They were exhausted and sucked out of energy.
They were surprised to see so many decorations.
Lit candles, fragrance, rose petals and drinks over the table.
"Oppa, welcome", Aera came running and hugged whoever she could manage.
"You did this for us?", Taehyung asked astonished.
"Yes! I know you would be tired", she said smiling.
"This smile is enough for us to recover", Namjoon said holding her chin.
"It's nothing oppa. Really!", Aera exclaimed and dragged Namjoon with one hand and Jin with another.
Others followed behind.
"Now sit, oppa", she said.
They sat around the couch.
She knelt down and removed Jungkook's socks.
"Hey, what are you doing?!!", He shrieked in surprise.
"Shh!", She shushed him.
She was about to move on to Yoongi, but he held her shoulder and said, "I'll do it myself".
He gave a look to others and they removed their socks.
She smiled and ran out of the living room.
She came back with little tubs and placed them infront of their feet.
She ran out again shouting, "Have the drinks, oppa".
Jin took the drink in his hand.
Others followed him.
Each of them was amused with her behaviour.
Few minutes later she came back with a bucket filled with water.
"Hey! Why-", Jin was interrupted by his sister.
"Shh! No questions and talks. Understand?", She said keeping the bucket down and placing her hands on her hips.
They nodded her head and sipped the drink, queitly.
They let her do, whatever she wanted.
She poured the water in the tub and they placed the feet inside, instantly melting at the touch of lukewarm water.
One by one, they kept the empty glasses on the table.
She made them lay their heads on the back of the couch and placed a cute little towel, that was soaked with herbal water, that she had made with the help of Hanam.
They closed their eyes as per her instructions.
She unbuttoned their shirts and loosened the ties.
She lowered the ac temperature.
"Relax for sometime oppa. Then we'll have dinner. Then you can go to sleep ", Aera mumbled.
Jin opened his eyes and glared at her.
"You still haven't had dinner now?", He questioned.
She stood infront of him with her head hung low.
"I wanted to eat with you, oppa", she mumbled playing with her fingers.
He sighed and pulled her on his lap.
She was careful not to step over the tub.
She sat comfortably and leaned against her eldest brother.
She closed her eyes relaxing herself.
He closed his eyes, stroking her hair and back.
Hanam served them dinner.
"Thank you, ahjumma, for all your help today", Aera beamed.
"It's nothing, honey", Hanam said and went inside the kitchen.
They had their dinner in silence.
Jimin took Aera to his room.
She plopped in the bed, her arms and legs spread out.
She was laying there like a starfish.
"Not so fast, baby. Take a shower first. I have to shower then", he said removing his shirt.
"No please, I'm tired", her voice sounded muffled.
He held her ankle and dragged her to the edge of the bed.
"Oppaaa", Aera whined, trying to sit up.
"Shower", he said sternly.
She looked at him with her best puppy eyes.
'No Jimin, don't fall for those eyes. They are manipulate' he said in his mind.
He was slowly melting.
She took the chance and hugged him, burying her face into his stomach, no , abs.
"It won't work on me. Come on", he said picking her up and going inside the bathroom.
He set her down and was about to close the door, when he heard a small "oppa".
He looked at her.
"Let's shower together, please", she mumbled yawning.
He could see, how tired she was.
She had no energy left in her to stand straight.
He nodded his head.
She smiled and started to undress herself.
She has her bra and underwear on.
He went to his closet to get their clothes.
He came back shortly.
He placed them on the counter.
He took her used clothes and tossed then in the laundry basket.
He undressed himself, leaving his underwear on.
He arranged her baby soap and shampoo.
He turned the shower on.
She hissed and sighed at the feeling.
"Hey, what's this?", He asked noticing a small red bruise on the back of her shoulder.
"I hit myself over the cupboard handle", she said.
He nodded his head.
"Be careful, baby. I cannot afford to see you hurt", he said pouring her shampoo in his hand.
He started massaging her scalp.
She sighed out in relief.
She was tracing her finger on his tattoo that had her name.
He washed her hair completely and tied it in a bun.
She tried to take his shampoo, but he held her hand and said, "I'll wash by myself".
She nodded her head and took her soap.
He turned to the other side, as she cleaned herself.
He was done soon.
"You okay?", He asked turning around.
She nodded her head, washing off the foam.
"I'll go out. Remove your clothes completely and clean properly, okay baby?", He asked.
"Yes oppa", she nodded her head.
He went out of the shower and tied his towel around his waist and removed his underwear and placed it on the dryer.
He went out closing the door.
Few minutes later, she came out in his hoodie and a towel around her head.
He already got changed into shorts and dried his hair.
"Come here", he said guiding her towards the dressing table and taking off the towel around her hair and starting to blow dry her soft locks.
After he was done, he took the moisture and applied it in her face.
She was on the verge of sleeping.
He laid her down on the bed and kissed her forehead.
"Goo nighttttt, oppa. Love me, sorry, love you", she slurred in her sleep.
He sat there looking at her calm and peaceful face.
He kissed her cheeks.
"When did you grow up so much?", He whispered and hugged her small frame, kissing her head.
