Taehyung was still very unsure about the decision he made, it's not like he was given a DNA test before he left or got any proof that he had a brother whatsoever. But then again there was no reason to be lied to, I mean why would a stranger come to the Palace to take Taehyung if he wasn't his brother? That didn't make any sense to the said male.

But you could also say Taehyung's mind had been a bit compelled at the thought of having a brother. Family meant the world to him over anything else, and if he had any sort of relation to a relative he wouldn't hesitate to believe them.

But one thing was for sure, and that was that he already missed Jungkook so much and had a huge urge to run back to him and kiss him. 

"Here we are!" Yucheon excitedly announced as he opened up the door to a large house with his free hand, Taehyung's bags in the other hand which he offered to hold. It wasn't the size of the Palace but it could easily be mistaken as a mansion.

"Wow.." Taehyung gasped at the enticing and fancy area. 

The older male chuckled at the latter. "That's not all." He stated, beginning to walk into another room to which Taehyung followed.

The said male stopped at the doorway once Yucheon had walked into the room. His eyes widened once he saw many items by the wall.

"Saw that you didn't have much, so I figured I'd get you some stuff myself." The male told. He walked over to the pile of gifts that included electronics, clothes, accessories, and a basketball to which he picked up and tossed to Taehyung. "I also heard you like basketball. We already have something in common." The older chuckled.

"How'd you know?" The black haired curiously questioned.

"A little birdie told me." 

"Pete?!"

Yucheon raised an eyebrow.

"Who's Pete?" 

Taehyung nervously chuckled realizing his brother didn't know about the dove. "Nevermind.." Yucheon softened his eyebrows before putting a hand on the youngers shoulder.

"There's a basketball court outside if you wanna shoot some hoops with me." The older suggested making the latter place a smile onto his face. "Okay!" He exclaimed before running off to the backyard with Yucheon following behind him.

Knock, knock, knock.

Jungkook stuffed his ears with pillows to block the annoying sound out.

"Jungkook I know you're in there." Namjoon sighed before taking a key out of his pocket to unlock the door. He let out an even bigger sigh once he saw the Prince curled into a ball on his bed with pillows on either side of his head.

"You need to get up and eat." The older told before softly taking the pillows away from Jungkook making him groan.

"No."

Namjoon sat himself on the side of the youngers bed. "You can't sit in your room depressed all day."

It was clear Jungkook was going through his depressive episode again, meaning that he had blocked out all of his emotions and replaced it with stubbornness.

Instead of using words the Prince just shrugged while staying in his curled up position. 

"If you kidnap Tae for me I'll bail you out of Jail." Jungkook croaked out. He was being serious but Namjoon just chuckled at the suggestion.

"It's only been five hours since he left."

"Five hours too long." The Prince stated while rolling to the other side of his bed to face away from Namjoon who was more frustrated than ever. "Jungkook, Taehyung lost his parents and just figured out he has a brother. Of course he'd go with Yucheon, you have to understand that."

Namjoon was met with dead silence again while he waited to get an actual response from the Prince which took about a minute.

"..But I need him here."

 Jungkook did understand the situation, but he didn't at the same time. It didn't make sense that Taehyung's so called 'brother' just showed up out of no where to take him back 'home'. 

"You still need to get u-"  The younger sat up in his bed causing Namjoon to stop talking. "The only reason I ever started getting up and doing something was because of Taehyung. Now he's gone like everyone else I've cared about. He probably already forgot about me."

Knock, knock.

Jungkook rolled his eyes and laid back down onto his bed as the door to his room opened. And of course the last person he wanted to see right now had walked into his room with a tray of food.

"Your Dad told me to bring you dinner." Jimin said as he placed the food down the bed. Namjoon decided to get up and walk out knowing there was nothing else he could say to motivate the younger.

"Wow why are you so down in the dumps?" The Server smirked, completely knowing the reason why. "The boy you kissed left you again? History really does repeat itself."

Usually Jungkook would yell or lash out whenever mad at someone when he was sober, he was still sober but today was different. The feeling he was feeling was different. So instead of yelling he let his eyes water up which caused him to sink his head into the pillow he was lying on.

"I agree with you, I don't think Yucheol is his brother either. He's probably a guy who fancies Taehyung who wants to waltz around the ball with him, take him on dates, kiss him,-" Jimin leaned in towards the youngers ear with a smirk on his face. "Fuck him."

The Prince was an overthinker, so he almost started to believe what the older was saying even though he knew it was not true. It only made him cry harder into his pillow.

"This is why you don't fall in love with innocent, naive, boys Jungkook. You'll start turning into one which you already have."

"W-why do you hate me s-so much. Why can't you just leave me the fuck a-alone.." The said male whimpered out. Now thanks to Jimin the only thing on his mind was Yucheol doing all of those things to Taehyung, making him angry and jealous.

"Hate you? I'm just looking out for you. You already know your Mom won't allow Taehyung to be King with you, there's plenty of other fish in the sea anyways." The older stated, chuckling to himself once he saw Jungkook's face redden up in anger.

"Anyways, have fun eating the food that Taehyung didn't make for you." Jimin teased before walking out of the room, leaving the latter to sob into his sheets.

"Hey, Yucheon?" Taehyung asked his brother while the two were in the basketball court. The said older was pretty good at the sport meaning Taehyung was able to get better as well since he helped him.

"What's up lil' bro?" Yucheon responded as he retrieved the ball he just shot into the basket.

"Uh.." The younger hesitated. "Can I invite someone over to play with us?" Taehyung asked while fumbling with the basketball in his hands.

"Who?"

The black haired male paused again before speaking. "Prince Jungkook?"

"Ooh, the boy you were making out with." Yucheon chuckled before shooting another free-throw shot. "Is he your boyfriend?"

"No!" Taehyung quickly said as his cheeks began to blush up along with his ears. "He's just uh-"

"Friends with benefits?" He cut off with a smirk on his face.

"No!" The youngers face reddened up even more, now becoming obvious.

"Well then?" 

Taehyung dribbled the ball in place for a few seconds because he just wanted to ignore the question. But after a minute or two he realized his brother wasn't going to drop the question so he sighed while picking up his courage to speak.

"I like him."

"Well that's obvious." Yucheon smiled at the boy as he patted his shoulder. "If you like him then why would you leave with me?" 

"Because you're my brother." Taehyung quickly stated making the older male nod and chuckle. "Right." Yucheon mumbled to himself before stealing the ball away from the younger with a sly smirk on his face. "Steal it back."

"Come on." The latter groaned as he chased the older around the court to steal the ball back from him.
