Why did I listen to them?

Why did I have to let it get here?

Many thoughts were circling Jungkook's mind as he looks at his brothers. All of them are peeking through a purple curtain to spy on the girls.

In his mind, it's ridiculous; but, he had to find out the truth.

Many questions were asked. From what is the girls' favorite color, food, and fashion. Basically, did they know them like they say they do?

Then, the more serious questions came out.

The boys were supposed to play Never Have I Ever until Jimin challenges them to do confession. If they couldn't answer the question, they had to do a dare that was asked of. It's like they are doing 'truth' and if they don't have an answer they have to do a 'dare'. This is their style.

Namjoon thought it was better to start over and asks questions. So the boys did and got up from the couch, grabbed some more snacks and drinks.

"Hello your majesty." Shara interrupts the guys. Shara stood quietly listening because she didn't want to interrupt the game. But since they were starting over, she thought it was a perfect time to interrupt.

"Yes Shara." Jin still grabbing some more chips.

"Esther told me to come down here to help you all out so if you need anything, any of you, please don't hesitate to say." Shara bows.

Yoongi looks at her and slightly chuckles while putting his drink down on the table in front of the couch.

She can play Esther, but not me.

The other boys hum in agreement, while Yoongi smirks at her as Shara looks at him and quickly looks back at Jin. Jin nods, sits his chips and candy down on the table.

"For now, you can stand over there near Yoongi."

She nods and goes to the end of the couch where Yoongi was sitting. However, she can't shake that she is getting a weird feeling from him.

"Okay are y'all ready?" Namjoon claps and rubs his hands together.

All the boys nod while eating their candy and chips. They look at Namjoon waiting for him to ask questions.

"Okay, Yoongi?"

"Wassup?"

All the dudes look intensively especially Jimin.

Yoongi chuckles at their attention.

"AAAAAH!"

The one time I go into her room.

This happens.

I never go into her room.

I don't even try to. If I do, I always knock. I never know if Adam is in there or if she is busy.

Besides it's the respectful thing to do.

"Always knock before opening a door." My mother once told me before she died of cancer. I never knew my dad, so oh well. It makes sense to knock first. I mean...a lot happens if you don't. You might catch your halmoeni finishing off a 'movie'. You might notice that they are too busy and leave feeling bad for disturbing. A lot can happen with the door closed or better

when it's locked.

So it's best to knock. Or you might see something you weren't suppose to see.

But, this is not the case. In this case, I was meant to see a beautifully sculptured body in front of me. The imperfections make this artwork worth admiring in a much savory way.

The moles

the dark tone of the knees

and...the stretch marks.

God blessed me with this moment. That's what I told myself before I repent for the thoughts sprinting through me. I was aiming to rush and tell Eve that she has a package waiting outside that needs to be signed.

But, it was a perfect time to be disrespectful.

It was worth not knocking on the door first.

"YOONGI! I told you to wait downstairs. GET OUT!"

Eve blushing like a school girl nudges me slightly out the door and closes it in my face.

I chuckle to myself heading back downstairs, with a rush of excitement and craving.

A desire to push Eve inside and lock the door.

"I'm sorry si-"

I see the man is no longer there and left a note on her door.

I don't even care anymore. All that's on my mind is her.

What a great memory.

Honestly, they don't know the meaning behind that question. The understanding to the answer of that question. I let her go a long time ago when I knew who her heart truly wanted. Being friend-zoned without realizing it sucks, but I'll always have that memory in my head. I accepted the conclusion. I accepted who Eve and I are to each other.

Yoongi notices the guys are still waiting for his answer.

"You should be asking her."

"That's not answering the question." Namjoon still looking intensively.

Yoongi takes a deep exaggerated sigh and chuckles. He drinks and places the drink down.

Guess I had to tell the truth sooner or later.

All the dudes grin but Jimin, who huffs in annoyance.

Yoongi looks over at Jimin and laughs lightly.

"But, she cares about someone else and I moved on, knowing there's someone out there for me."

Jimin widens his eyes at Yoongi. Is he talking about Adam

or me?

Jimin looks down and sighs, deciding to not think about it because it's probably Adam. Namjoon hums and nods in understanding. Shara chuckles a little at Yoongi's answer. He must loved her...ooo this is getting good.

"Alright, Hobi?" Yoongi sounding like a host on a comedy show.

"Wassuuup?" Hobi mimics Yoongi.

"Once, but she denied me and said we can only be friends. So I moved on." Hobi chews on candy.

"Hmmm..." Yoongi nods.

"Dang it, she missing out on the Hoseok." Tae emphasizes. .

"She is, but she doing her. I moved on. As y'all already know, I'm talking to someone now that I like."

All the guys nod.

"Good and she is cool but she better treat you right." Yoongi's gummy smile comes out.

Hobi agrees and shrugs his shoulders. He knows his friendship with Hannah is most important and he's just glad to have her in his life. He looked over at Tae.

"Ahhh I'm next."

The others laugh.

"YuP V. "

The boys look over at him waiting for his answer while eating their snacks. Shara glances over at him. She holds her blush not realizing how handsome Tae was. His lips and eyes, by itself, is trouble.

He pierced his lips, looking down thinking. He finally looked up at the boys. His deep voice resonating the room.

"Well....Rahab and I had done stuff before; but Booz hurried up and grabbed her. He went behind my back and took her from me." Tae sighs.

"He found out I wanted her after one of my friends told him. I told him when he asked, expecting he would be a real friend. So, because he low key wanted her, he went behind my back and got her before I ever had a chance. Booz and I were bros until he did that. He lied telling her I had someone and spoke rumors about me. Rahab started acting different towards me. When I finally confronted her, she told me she needed me to be a friend to her and she sorry if she showed different." Tae holds his head, frustrated.

"A lot of people told me he did what he did because Rahab confessed that she wanted me back. I don't know if that's true or not. I still care about her but it's too late so I sucked it up and stayed her friend. My bad bros for not telling y'all about this. I honestly was trying to let it go."

All the guys stared at Tae, as indignation became apparent in the room.

It's one thing to put your confidence in someone. That's not easy to do. But when you do, you expect them to cherish that. So when they betray your trust, it's like a knife to the heart.

Hobi then realizing what Tae said. "Wait a minute, what stuff y'all do?"

"Made out. We did twice, but they were dares."

"Yo that's disrespectful." Jin rolls his eyes.

"These girls were better off having us." Jimin states in a serious tone. The guys chuckle at the comment.

"That ain't okay. But, you got us bro." Jungkook gently taps Tae's knees.

"Did you forgive him?" Jin asked.

"Yeah cause I ain't gonna hold that. God helped me and I moved on."

All the dudes hum in agreement. "Good" Jin said.

"You should still tell her." Jimin furrowing his brows.

"Naw it's too late. Even if I still want her, I'm good fr." Tae assures, but in a kind of sad way. "Anyways, Jungkook?"

"V?"

Tae naughtily grins.

All the others look at Kook smiling, while he tries to hide his anxiousness. Shara soaks all this information in, excitedly. She never knew this about the guys and she never thought they would be the type to have feelings for people, since they can have anybody.

Jungkook places both his hands on his shaking legs trying to calm down. He closes his eyes and breathes.

Should I say something?

Is it worth it?

Will it change anything?

They are my brothers, but why is it so hard to say it?

Just say it Kook.

"Okay.....to be real..............." Jungkook pauses trying to get out his words. Jungkook takes his time to process what he's about to say before saying to others so it don't sound so ridiculous.

The guys widens their eyes in shock, even Shara. The guys thought that he just liked her. Jungkook never told them his true feelings for Leah until now.

"Bro..." Yoongi shocked.

"I thought you had feelings but love." Jimin said with widen eyes.

"Really?" Namjoon and Hobi in sync.

Jungkook looks at the guys, then back on the floor and sighs. Tae gets out of shock and gently rubs his back.

"I loved her since high school. She kept getting bullied, which I told y'all about. I was popular and everyone loved me. Girls flocked all on my joint but I wanted her. She was different and everything I wanted. But, after 11th grade, she changed schools and I didn't know until her sister told me. Her sister still went to my school. I wanted to confess but I couldn't. I was scared she didn't love me back. I prayed I would get the chance to tell her. Years later, I saw her. I thought God was answering my prayer. When I finally had the guts, I found out she had a husband and a family. I was hurt but he trash though so.."

"Yea..he belongs in the dump for sure." Jin chuckles darkly.

"How he trash?" Shara thought but when she looked up all the guys looked at her. She thought she said it to herself. "I-I- I'm sorry you don't have to answer...it's not my business." Yoongi gives her a look and turns to Jungkook.

Jungkook peeks at Shara, looks down and sighs. "This is after she accepted Jacob back. Almost 3 months later, I went to see her one day as a surprise. At this time, me and her were closer than ever. I was by her side when that dummy hurt her the first time. And I stayed by her side even after. Sometimes I did surprise visits to her house and she didn't mind. She was home and I would hint her that I'm coming. Her husband would be at work and if I saw him, we would just say hey and that's it anyway. Truly, I couldn't stop seeing her because I loved being around her and her kids." Jungkook adjusts his position and continues.

"She wasn't responding to my text and I didn't know she was out with Eve until later but I still went. I knocked on the door and the husband's mom answered. She looked surprised for some reason. I looked at her confused because she always sees me at the house."

"then I saw her husband and her sister kissing and he was grabbing her butt."

"I stood there in shock and looked at his mom, who was looking dumbfounded. He finally saw me and his face widened. I ran in the car and drove off fast. Yoongi and Jimin was in the car. I told them what happened when we got to Yoongi's house. Worst thing about all of this is I never told Leah."

After Jungkook finished, Shara looked at him shocked as she slowly nodded. Shara glanced at Jin. The way she looked at Jin made him little uncomfortable.

"Shara"

"Yes?"

"I forgot to put some of my work in my room. Can you go bring the rest of my files and books in the room then go with Esther?"

She simply bows and walks away.

Yoongi looked at her until she was out of sight. "She can't be trusted y'all. I don't know what it is but I don't trust her."

The boys still thinking about Jungkook peers at Yoongi.

"Let's just keep an eye. Jin mostly you. Don't be alone with her."

Jin nods. The others let their eyes speak for them in agreement saying 'ard' then looked back at Jungkook.

"Well I got an idea." Namjoon grins widely, as his dimple become visible.

After 39 seconds of trying to let this plan sink Jungkook's head, Jungkook continually shook his head.

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes Kook!"

"No Nam!"

"You need to tell her how you feel."

"She's married."

"Is she really though?!"

"Nam!...she still married regardless."

"To be real wit you, I can care less. You still need to tell her the truth."

"So she can deny me and embarrass me. I don't think so."

"You don't know that tho."

"Ummm yo Namjoon this ain't high school."

"Right youngin. It's now. It's not too late. Honestly we should all try but I understand why some of us don't, knowing we don't have a chance. The thing is I like Ruth but I know I won't have a chance. But, bro.."

"You have a chance." Namjoon states.

"No I don't."

"Yes you do."

"No."

"Yes."

"Yo."

"Yea yo I don't care you annoyed."

Jungkook huffs. "No Namjoon."

"Come on man. I'm not letting my bro regret this for the rest of his life. In fact, how about this y'all?"

The guys listen intensively as Jungkook looks uninterested.

"Let's spy on them and see what they think. There's no way they won't bring us up once. We all want answers so let's get the answers."

The guys at first all speak at once at how ridiculous it sounds but then after a while, they all agree to it except Jungkook. Jungkook stares blankly getting nervous again.

"Come on Kook." Namjoon gives him the puppy eye look.

"You won't go through this alone we got you!" Tae gives the puppy eye look too.

The guys yell 'right' in agreement, also giving the puppy eye look. "You know you want to know." Hobi smiles wide but eyes seemingly closed.

Jungkook sighs. He can't resists their puppy eyes.

He don't know if it's a good idea but he stopped thinking about it because he wants to know. He agrees.

And here they are. Standing close to the purple curtain, peeking at the girls with the curtain open a tad, and listening to their conversation.

If they move one muscle carelessly, the sound travels from the hallway. They can see the front door and the grand staircase behind them.

No turning back now.

This traveling around in Jungkook thoughts. He hopes this was a good idea.

Shara went to the west wing to grab Jin's books. He told her to go back to help Esther; but, Shara wish she could stay with the boys.

That conversation was a lot for her. She's happy that the guys talked though. She looked at Jin because she wants to treat him the way he truly deserves it.

She goes in his room smiling at the bed. As she put his books in the coffee table. She jumps on his bed giggling. She wants him to do so many things to her on this bed. She smiles to herself as she presses her cheeks. She gets up and hurried back downstairs.

As she comes near the living room, she sees the guys hiding and listening to the girls. She chuckles as she comes close to Jin.

"Why are y'all eavesdropping?" Jin jumps as the others do; but when they saw it was Shara they went back to listening.
