Rebecca nervously entered her bedroom, clutching a shopping bag close to her chest.

She had just returned from a trip to the mall with her mom, where they had purchased her first bra. It was a significant milestone in her life, and she was both excited and apprehensive about it.

As she carefully placed the shopping bag on her bed, she couldn't help but feel a mix of pride and embarrassment.

She knew her body was changing, and wearing a bra was a normal part of growing up, but the thought of her brothers finding out and potentially teasing her made her anxious.

Just as she was about to hide the shopping bag in her closet, she heard a knock on the bedroom door. It swung open, and there stood Malcolm, Reese, and Dewey, wearing mischievous grins on their faces.

"Hey, Becky, what's that?" Malcolm asked, his eyes darting to the shopping bag.

Rebecca's heart sank. She had hoped to keep it a secret a little while longer, but now her brothers had discovered her purchase.

"Oh, it's nothing," she stammered, trying to maintain her composure.

Malcolm smirked and grabbed the shopping bag from the bed. "Nothing, huh? Let's see what's inside."

Rebecca's face flushed with embarrassment as Malcolm opened the bag, revealing the bra. His eyes widened, and he burst into laughter. "Look, guys! Becky's got herself a bra!"

Reese and Dewey joined in, pointing and laughing at their sister. Rebecca felt her cheeks burning with humiliation, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Come on, guys, cut it out!" she pleaded, her voice quivering.

Malcolm ignored her pleas and held the bra up, pretending to wear it on his head. "Hey, look at me! I'm Rebecca, the bra-wearing genius!"

Rebecca couldn't take it anymore. She ran out of the room, tears streaming down her face, feeling utterly humiliated and betrayed by her own brothers. She locked herself in the bathroom, trying to compose herself.

Meanwhile, the realization of their actions sank in for Malcolm, Reese, and Dewey. They hadn't meant to hurt Rebecca, but their teasing had gone too far.

"Guys, that wasn't cool," Malcolm said, guilt filling his voice. "We shouldn't have made fun of her like that."

Reese and Dewey nodded, their playful expressions replaced with remorse. They knew they had crossed a line and hurt their sister's feelings.

They went to the bathroom door and knocked softly. "Rebecca, we're really sorry," Dewey called out. "We didn't mean to embarrass you like that."

There was a pause, and then the bathroom door opened. Rebecca's eyes were red from crying, but she looked at her brothers with a mixture of sadness and forgiveness.

"I understand that you didn't mean to hurt me, but it really hurt my feelings," she said, her voice shaky.

Malcolm stepped forward, a sincere expression on his face. "We're truly sorry, Becky. We should have been more considerate."

Rebecca took a deep breath and nodded. "Apology accepted, but please remember that growing up is a big deal for me. It's not something to make fun of."

Her brothers nodded in agreement, chastened by their actions.

From that day forward, they made a silent pact to support and protect Rebecca as she navigated the changes and challenges of adolescence.

They realized that being siblings meant being there for each other, even during moments of vulnerability.

A/N: I'm sincerely sorry for the lack of update friends, to be honest it was due to lack of motivation as well as the fact that I don't know how to manage my time well :')
