" We knew it"

Aera looked at Jimin confused

"Aera, we are not blind, we saw how Taehyung looks at you. When he first saw you, we saw how his eyes sparked up. He would always tell us what we did. He stopped being a Playboy, he really did. He would always stick around you, annoying you, hope you would notice him and you would see him differently. But the shock was when he introduced you as his sister, Aera. We never imagined that to happen. He started to play around with girls again, hoping to forget you but seems like he couldn't. He really loves you Aera" Jin finished his mini but emotional speech

Aera looked down as she processed Jin's words.

"Aera what you feel about him?" Suga asked

"I don't know. When he would annoy me, I felt good and would always bring a smile to my face. I loved him around him but also hate it as he kept annoying me. Tho we fight, but I enjoy it. When I look at him with other girls, my insides would burn, it's like my heart is in pain"  Aera let out her feelings

All of them looked at Aera like she had two heads. Silence enveloped them as no one spoke when

"You like him girl, you like Taehyung" Rose burst out as she thought how could her friend be this dumb, while the others smiled and nodded.

Thoughts roamed around her head when Aera finally realized. She looked at the ground and smiled

She was in love with her step-brother

She was in love with him

She had fallen for Taehyung, but...

"but he is my stepbrother now"

"Aera, he may be your stepbrother, but you two aren't blood-related. If your parents didn't get married, maybe you would have fallen to each other and would have been through different scenarios" Namjoon explained and after that, a comfortable silence spread among them as they gazed at the beautiful view in front of them.

They were still at the place, looking at the city lights.

"Guys, you all trust me right?" Aera asked out of the blue

"Yes Aera we do" and a chorus of yes was heard

"So I wanna tell you a secret. You guys trust me so much, I think I shouldn't hide anything from you guys. You are a family to me now"

Jungkook and Rose looked at each other, then looked at Aera, who just smiled at them

"Are you sure?" Jungkook asked concerned

"Wait, Jungkook you know about her secret?" Jhope asked to which the makenae replied the whole nodding

"Yes, I and Rose know about it"

"It's time," Aera said she took a deep breath

Aera slowly took off her glasses and put them on the ground beside her. The boys were looking at her stunned, not able to grasp anything. And at last, she removed her wig allowing her red hair to fall down. The boys who were curiously looking felt their eyes growing bigger and bigger by size. They were completely shocked to see the person in front of their eyes

"Y-you a-are" Jhope fumbled with his words, while the others were still had their jaws dropped.

"Close your mouth guys if you don't want any bug inside your mouth" Rose snapped to which the boys immediately reacted in embarrassment Jungkook silently laughed at their faces.

"But, you, why you dress up like that?" Jimin asked still not believing his eyes

Aera explained everything, the reason for disguising herself and how Jungkook found about her as they laughed hearing her

"We support you Aera, whatever you did, you did to protect herself. I don't see anything wrong in that" Suga said and there were agreements to his statement

"Let's go it's late," Jin said as he took a note of the time

Aera put her disguise on again. They all got up and got into their cars and made their way towards Aera's house

Aera had a small smile on her face as she thought of comforting Taehyung which soon disappeared when she opened the door. She froze on her steps seeing the scene unfold in front of her eyes. And soon the others joined here, they could feel what Aera was feeling
