The atmosphere in the room was suffocating as Jinya struggled to breathe. She had never felt so alone and isolated before. The silence was deafening, and she couldn't help but wonder if it was because of her. Yoongi and Namjoon left without a word,

As Taehyung and Jimin made moves to leave, Taehyung informed Seokjin, "Hyungs, we're out. Catch you later."

and Taehyung and Jimin followed suit, leaving Jinya feeling even more abandoned.

Seokjin remained silent as well, continuing to eat his breakfast without acknowledging Jinya's presence. She understood that her brothers didn't want to interact with her and decided it was best not to push the issue.

Feeling overwhelmed with emotions, Jinya tried to hold back her tears as she sat in silence. She couldn't bear the thought of being a burden to her brothers, but the weight of their silence was crushing her.

Jungkook finished his meal and prepared to leave, but Seokjin stopped him suddenly. "Stop, Jungkook," he said calmly, looking directly at Jinya. "Kid, do you want to go with Jungkook or with the drivers?"

Jinya hesitated for a moment before responding, "It's okay, I will go with the driver." Seokjin nodded in agreement, and Jungkook left without another word.

As she sat in the car with the driver, John, she closed her eyes and tried to compose herself. She missed her mother more than ever before and felt incredibly empty inside. As they arrived at school, John called out to her once again, but she barely registered his words.

The morning had not gone as she had hoped. She had never felt so alone in her life, and now she was missing her mother more than ever before. Feeling overwhelmed with emotion, she struggled to find the words to say as she stepped out of the car and faced the stares of her classmates once again.

As she emerged from the car, she avoided making eye contact with anyone and kept her gaze fixed on the ground. However, every student had their eyes on her, not just because she stepped out of an expensive car, but also because everyone knew about Jinya's tragic loss-the death of her mother.

Pitying looks were cast her way, and everyone felt sorry for her, but Jinya remained lost in her thoughts.

"Now listen up, guys. Don't even think about bringing up her mother or anything that might trigger her memories. We need to keep her mind occupied, got it?" Kari commanded, rounding up all the campus students who were familiar with Jinya.

Jinya was one of the most popular students in the school, adored by all for her cheerful nature.

Walking into the classroom, everyone shouted, "Jinya!" It had been two weeks since they had last seen her; she hadn't been at school during that time.

"Jinya, how are you?" a girl asked.

"Long time, Jinya," a boy added. Similar questions and greetings rained down on her.

"Guys, guys, calm down. I'm good. How are you all?" Jinya responded with a small smile.

"Great!" they all chimed in, and laughter filled the room.

"You're the only girl who brings joy to the whole campus," someone said.

Annoyed, Jungkook sat at his desk, with some admirers drooling over him.

"Ugh, these people never leave me alone. It's so annoying," he muttered as he plugged in his earbuds to listen to music. But his peace was shattered by the sudden loud screams of the entire class. Removing his ear pods, he lifted his head to see what the commotion was about. It was her-Jinya had entered the class.

Jungkook rolled his eyes and sighed heavily. He couldn't stand Jinya and her overly friendly demeanor. He annoyed himself thinking, "Why is she being so friendly with those stupid boys?

A boy assured Jinya, "Don't worry, Jinya, we'll help you."

Jungkook grumbled to himself, "Why are they all so willing to help her? If I asked anyone else to do my homework, they'd be trembling. Are they treating her like a goddess or something? Such idiots!"

Jinya took her seat, which was just two rows away from Jungkook, allowing him to have a perfect view of her. Throughout the entire class, he found himself unable to look away from her, and he smirked, thinking to himself, "She's so silly.

Thank you! You're the best!" he imagined her saying to the boy . Jungkook couldn't help but find her rather irritating.

As the lecture continued, it was finally time for lunch. Jinya was feeling better thanks to her friends who managed to lift her spirits in no time. She was the kind of girl who could brighten up in a snap.

As Kari and Jinya made their way to the cafe for lunch, Kari did her best to steer Jinya's thoughts in a positive direction. Soon, Chaoyue joined them.

they strolled through the corridor, Jinya pondered, "They're my pals. I should spill the beans about Kim being my bro. What if they bail on our friendship over this? But oh well, I'll tell them.

In her usual friendly manner, Chaoyue inquired, "How was your bond with your appa ? You two must've been tight, right?" Kari nodded in agreement.

Jinya pouted, "Nah, he was colder than an ice block. Anyway, folks, I've got some major news to drop on you," she announced as they all settled into their seats.

"What is it?" Kari probed eagerly.

After a moment of hesitation, Jinya sighed, "I have... brothers."

Kari and Chaoyue's eyes bulged. "Whoa, I can't even wrap my head around that," they gasped in disbelief. "Did you have any clue about them before?" Chaoyue questioned.

Jinya shook her head.

"Why was your dad more enigmatic than a suspenseful drama? I mean, every twist and turn revealed a new mystery," she mused as she ate, prompting an eye roll from Jinya.

Chaoyue sighed. "Well, you said brothers, so how many are we talking?"

Jinya nervously bit her lower lip. "Seven."

Kari choked on her food, and Chaoyue handed her a water bottle. "Hate to break it to you, J-Jinya, but your dad really didn't give your mom a break. He was so open-minded. No wonder she ditched him," she said with a smirk. Jinya shot her a glare before letting out an exasperated sigh. "And the real kicker is..." She paused for effect.

"Spill the tea," Kari demanded, narrowing her eyebrows.

"They're none other than the Kims," Jinya revealed, causing both of her friends' eyes to pop wide open and their jaws to drop in disbelief. Kari jumped up from her seat and yelled, "What the heck, Jinya? Your freaking brothers are...?" Everyone in the café turned to look at her as Jinya gave her a firm stare to calm down.

Chaoyue motioned for Kari to sit back down while she took a seat. "Jinya, are you absolutely sure they're your brothers? Did they-"

"Yes, they are my brothers, but I don't think they have any interest in interacting with me," Jinya's words were cut off by the sounds of boys screaming. The friends turned to look, dreading what they would see.

"Not again," they all groaned in unison.
