Y/n: "Umm Jin Oppa can I have a word after you get fresh?"
Jin: "Sure princess, just don't ask silly questions. "
Yn: "okay oppa."
Everyone went to their rooms and got fresh and changed into casual comfy clothes.

[ Late Night – Y/N's Room ]
The clock ticked past midnight. The moonlight spilt through the curtains as Y/n sat on her bed, replaying every moment of the day. The scream. The blood. The look on Kai's face.
A soft knock interrupted her thoughts.
Jin stepped in, his usual calm face shadowed with concern.
Jin: "You're still awake, princess?"
Y/n: "I couldn't sleep even if I tried."
Jin: (sighs and sits beside her) "Talk to me."
She looked down at her hands for a long moment before whispering,
Y/n: "Jin oppa… there's something off about her — Dad's wife."
Jin: (frowns) "What do you mean?"
Y/n: "She's pretending. All that kindness, all those fake smiles — I see through it. And I think she's after me."
Jin's jaw tightened. He leaned closer, eyes narrowing.
Jin: "After you? Why?"
Y/n: "Because I'm not fooled by her. Maybe she thinks I'll expose her true identity. "
Jin: (places a hand on her shoulder) "Then we'll deal with her carefully. Don't face her alone again, okay?"
But before Y/n could answer, Jin's gaze fell on her hand — a long, thin cut stretched across her palm, still red and had blood dripping on her black nightdress.
Jin: "Y/N! What the hell happened to your hand?!"
Y/n: (tries to act normal ) "It's nothing—"
Jin: (stands) "Stay here, don't move a single inch."
He rushed out and came back moments later with the first aid box, bumping into V in the hallway.
V: (groans in pain) "Hyung, what happened?"
Jin: "She's hurt."
V: "WHAT ? HOW?" (worriedly) "I'll come too."
-------------------------------------------------
[ Moments Later ]
JIN and V entered the room. Jin holding a first aid box and V holding alot of different snacks Yn likes.
Jin sat on the bed and carefully cleaned Y/n's wound while V stood beside him, holding a many different snacks.
V: (softly) "I brought your favourite therapy, the Snacks therapy. Works better than medicine."
Y/n: (smiles faintly) "You and your weird remedies."
Jin: (gently bandaging her palm) "He's not wrong though. Enjoying your favourite snacks while stress is really better than medicine."
Once done, Jin patted her head.
Jin: "Try to rest now. You need strength for tomorrow and remember not to put your injured hand in water."
Y/n: "Okay Oppa.Thanks, oppa."
He gave her a kiss on her forehead and left her room quietly because everyone else were sleeping.
V, however, stayed in her room. He turned off the bright lights, and sat beside her on the bed.
Y/n: "You're not leaving, are you?"
V: "Nope. Everyone is sleeping and where would you sleep than?… I'm staying or if you want you can come to sleep in my room too."
Y/n: (softly and teasingly) "Aww, my taetae oppa was worried?"
V: "Yeah , i was worried because you called Jin hyung in your room and at dinner you weren't feeling well."
She looked at him, her eyes glassy.
Y/n: "I'm reallyThankful for having such great oppa's and I know mom is happy tooup there seeing you all taking care of me."
V: (grins) "Of course. Who else would be crazy enough to deal with you?"
She chuckled softly, then lay her head on his lap.
V hummed a slow tune — one he used to sing to her as a kid — and caressed her hair, until she was deep in sleep.
V: (whispers to her) "Sleep well, princess. I've got you."
They both slept peacefully beside each other
--------------------------------------------
[ Next Morning – Dining Hall ]
The air was tense. Their father standing in anger, his expression unreadable. Jin, RM, Jhope, Suga, Jimin, V, Jungkook and Yn stood in a line like soldiers waiting for command.
Dad: (coldly) "Explain. Now."
RM spoke first, voice steady.
RM: "Last night, Hana was found dead in the basement. Kai tried to escape, but Guards stopped him before he could run."
Their father's face darkened.
Dad: "And why didn't anyone inform me immediately?"
Jin: "We didn't want to disturb you until we had the full picture."
Dad: "THE FULL PICTURE? A woman is dead in my house! It could be from someone inside, or someone is keeping an eye on us."
He slammed his fist on the table, making everyone flinch.
Dad: (to Y/n) "And you. I heard you were the one who handled Kai?"
Y/n hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Y/n: "Yes, It was my idea. I told them not to tell you until morning. I'll take all responsibility."
RM: "Y/n—"
Y/n: (cutting him off) "No. It was my call."
Her father's eyes burned with fury.
Dad: "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? You think you can handle everything?!"
Y/n stayed silent, her head lowered.
Her stomach twisted, butshe didn't argue. It was better to take blame than watch her brothers suffer.
Dad: "From now on, you'll stay in your room all day. No communication, no talking to anyone. And no food until I say so."
Jimin: "Dad—"
Dad: (angrily) "Quiet! or else i will increase more punishment. "
The room fell silent.
Jungkook clenched his fists.
Jungkook: "She doesn'tdeservesuch big punishment, okay we won'tcommunicate but food too. She is a strong girl and a daughterof Mafia King."
V: (steps forward) "He's right, Dad. Hana died because she exposed everything herself without plus she leaked Yn info to Kai and gave him all the passwords..— there is no fault of Yn."
Dad: (aggressive) "ENOUGH!"
Jin quickly stepped between them.
Jin: "Tae, Jungkook — stop. Not now, or else he he'll increaseYn punishment."
Suga: "He is right, For her sake stop it."
V's jaw tightened, but he stepped back, eyes filled with anger and worry.
Y/n glanced at them, her lips trembling slightly, but she stayed calm.
Y/n: (quietly) "It's fine, oppa's. I'll do as Dad says."
Her father didn't reply. He just turned and walked out of the room, leaving heavy silence behind.
