Chapter 12 Bro' is back !

Taehyung's POV

When I came back home days later after school, I found my mom sitting in the couch in the living room. The TV was turn on but she wasn't watching it. Instead, she was sending some glare at my dad, frowning and crossing her arms on her chest. I guess she's mad.

And knowing my mom, the reason is whether something about business, whether it's because my brother is here.

I past in the living room to greet my parents and my dad smile at me then his eyes came back to the screen of the TV.

Okay, so my dad was smiling, meaning it wasn't about business. So this is...

I left the living room and rush upstairs, almost slamming his bedroom's door.

"Hyung !!" I shout as came in my brother's room. He was unpacking his luggage, his back turning at me and he had earphone so he didn't hear me nor saw me.

That must be the reason why we almost fell in the ground when I jumped on his back but he regain his balance before we fell over.

"Omo Taehyung-ah, don't do that to me. You scared me" he said putting me on the ground and turn to look at me

"I missed you !" I said hugging him tightly

"I missed you too" he said rubbing my back

"Why didn't you told me you came back ?"

"I wanted to surprise you" he said and I smile

"So what are you doing ?" I ask after a moment, sitting on his bed

"I'm unpacking" he said in a duh tone "Wanna help ?"

"Ugh, no thanks" I said and he laugh. What can I say ? I don't even like cleaning my room so cleaning someone else's, even my brother's, never.

"You're back for good ? Or just for holidays ?" I ask in hope

"For good"

"Jinja ?!" I said and he nod.

I just stay there for 20 minutes, watching my brother cleaning his room, until his phone rang.

"Hello ? Yeah... Hum... I'll be there in 15 minutes" he said then he hang out

"You're going somewhere ?" I ask surprised

"Yeah"

"Where ?"

"I'll met my friends"

"But you could stay just for dinner..." I pouted

"Anw, I'm sorry, I'll be there after dinner" he said coming toward me and quickly hugging me then he walk toward his closet and put a coat since it's now winter.

"Why don't you eat with us ?"

"Because I have to met my friends. Beside, I'm pretty sure mother doesn't want to see me at dinner"

"Just ignore her. I want to eat with you"

"Next time. I promise"

"You're still mad with mom ?"

"Yeah..."

"I'm sorry. It's my fault"

"Don't say that. You know it isn't yours" He said giving me a smile "Okay so I'll go now, see you tonight"

"Don't you dare to come too late. I'll be waiting for you" I said and he smiles.

I follow him downstairs where he said bye to dad, not bothering to look at mom then he left.

I stay in my room, studying (yes you read well. I'm studying but it's not like I wanted to study), then one of our maid called me to say it was dinner time and I join my parents in the dinning room.

Of course, the chief cooked for us. Our maids and chief left just before we eat.

The dinner was awkward. No one dare to say something and I didn't even look at my mom. It's only around the dessert that my dad start to talk but everyone avoid a conversation around my brother.

After dinner, I played video games online with Jimin in my bedroom until I heard a knock.

"Come in" I shout and Jin-hyung open the door.

"I told you I wouldn't came back too late" he said and I smile "What are you doing ?" he said standing behind me

"Playing games. Wanna play ?" I ask handing him a remote

"No thanks. I know I'll lose" he said and I smirk "But... we can watch some anime if you want"

With that, I end up the game in the second and we lay down on my bed to watch an anime on my TV.

I used to always watch anime or reading mange with my brother and I haven't watch or read one since he left 2 years ago.

After our bro night, he decided to sleepover in my bedroom with him on my bed and me on my couch.

Of course I was the one who insist to let him sleep in my bed which is way more comfortable than my couch but I don't mind. With my brother I was another person, I wasn't the Kim Taehyung that everyone think I am.

I turn off the light and put the cover over me.

"You're sleeping ?" Jin-hyung ask after few minute

"Yes. That's why I'm answering you" I muttered and he laugh.

"Whatever, how are you ?"

"I'm fine"

"You're sure ?"

"Yeah... What about you ? How was the US ?"

"It was good. I really had a good experience"

"Do you prefer the US of Korea ?"

"Korea of course. I have you here" he said and I smile even though he couldn't see me. "So... I've heard that you're engaged"

"I'm not engaged" I said frowning. How many time would I have to correct it. "I'm just kind of dating someone"

"Was it an idea of mother ?"

"I don't know but they arranged the marriage"

"What about H-"

"I don't want to talk about her" I said knowing what he was about to say.

"Okay... So what's her name"

"Who ?"

"The girl you're dating"

"Soomi. Park Soomi" I said smiling

"Do you like her ?"

"I don't know... but I have good time when I'm with her"

"I'm happy for you then"

"Thanks. What about you ? Does... Does she know you're back in Korea ?" I ask

"I don't think so..."

"You didn't tell her ?!" I ask surprised

"No..."

"Will you tell her ?"

"I don't think so..." he repeat

"Why ?"

"I don't want to talk about it..." he said and I sigh

"Okay... so tell me what did you do in the US" I said to change the subject.

We spend the rest of the night me listening to him how amazing was the US but he still prefer here.

It was kind of a bro talk.

The next morning, when I woke up, Jin-hyung was still sleeping and I try to make the less noise as I prepare for university. It's day like that, that I want to be like my brother and not have school.

**********

"You seems to be happy" Jimin said as I sit at our usual table at the cafeteria.

"Yeah, Jin-hyung is back" I said smiling "You're okay ?" I ask at JungKook who choke his drink. He just nod and stand up to change his drink

"Jinja ?!" Jimin almost yelled

"Yeah !'

"Since when ?"

"Yesterday"

"Wow, I understand know why you're so happy" he said and my smile wider. My brother is like a model to me. At this moment, JungKook came back with another drink in his hand.

"But... How are things between your mom and Jin-hyung ?" Jimin ask and JungKook drop his fork

"You're sure you're okay ?" I ask raising an eyebrow at JungKook who just nod.

"Things didn't really change... There's still avoiding each other..." I said to Jin-hyung.

"That's why you ditch me yesterday while we were playing game"

"I'm sorry"

"By the way, why didn't you answer you phone ? We wanted to play online like usual the 3 of us" Jimin said looking at JungKook

"Huh... Family dinner" he said scratching the back of his neck then he look away

"Do you think they'll ever stay like that ? I mean avoiding each other ?" Jimin ask me, I know he was talking about Jin and mom.

I shrug but deep down I was sad.

It wasn't a surprise for anyone close to me that my brother and my mom don't get along.

For unknown reason, since I was a child, my mom would always prefer me and ignore Jin. One day, when I was a child, I asked my parents why they didn't like Jin-hyung. My mom didn't respond and my dad reassure me that they like my bother but I felt like they were lying.

I found years later that it's because my brother was born before my parent's wedding. It wasn't good in the high society to have a child before the wedding. That's why people in our society denigrate us at first. It's only after I was born that things start to calm down.

Since my brother was born before wedding, he wasn't supposed to inherit something from our parents. Of course my parents assured him that he'll inherit a part of our family's money but he won't inherit our family's company.

Since my brother can't, I became the heirs of my family. That's why I had an arranged marriage instead of my brother, that's why I have to got to college and my brother can do whatever he want like studying acting in the US. Yes, my brother wants to become an actor and my parents didn't mind when he told them.

As for me... my parent's wouldn't never agree to something like that.

The relation between my brother and my mom wasn't good but it became worse 2 years ago when I had a big fight with my parents and that Jin-hyung defend me. My mom was so angry that she send Jin-hyung far away, in another country, in the US.

My brother reassured me, saying that he wanted to go to the US to study acting, but deep down I know he didn't want to go there...
