Chapter 12 - Chapter –12

[ After Father Leaves – Dining Hall ]

Her father didn't reply. He just turned and walked out of the room, leaving heavy silence behind.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

As soon as he left, Jungkook slammed his fist on the wall in anger, and his knuckles turned red.

Jungkook: "He doesn't even listen to her side!"

V: "He never does, since Mom died…"

Jimin: "He's scared of losing anyone again — that's why he's strict. But it still hurts."

Suga: (sighed, rubbing his temple) "We'll find a way to talk to him. For now, let her rest."

Jin: (serious tone) "And make sure she eats. If Dad said no, we'll sneak it in."

V: (straightened, eyes sharp with concern) "I'll take care of that."

The brothers exchanged a look — they'd protect her no matter what, even if it meant going against their father.

---------------------------------------------------

Yn couldn't eat at night because their father called all of them except Yn to his company for an important meeting.

They all came back home at 2 a.m., so they thought that the maid might have given Yn something to eat, which wasn't true.

She slept empty stomach.

[ Next Morning – Y/N's Room ]

Just as V was about to knock, two guards stood in front of her do or.

Guard 1: "Mr Kim's orders," (said firmly)

Guard 2: "No one is allowed to meet Miss Y/N."

V clenched his jaw.

V: "ARE YOU SERIOUS?, GET OUT OF THE WAY OR IT WILL BE BAD"

The guards didn't flinch. No expression

Jhope: "Tae what happened? Why yelling so early?"

V: "These fucking assholes aren't letting me go to her room."

Jhope: "Maybe Dad know our move, that's why."

That morning passed in silence. Then another day. And another.

The brothers tried everything — distractions, excuses, even sneaking food through the window — but every attempt was blocked.

Inside her room, Y/N lay weakly on her bed, lips pale, breathing heavy.

Her stomach growled, but she ignored it. Her throat was dry, her head spinning.

She whispered to herself,

"It's okay… Dad will forgive me soon… right?"

But her body couldn't take it anymore.

After two days without food or proper rest, her vision blurred — and everything went dark.

A loud thud echoed through the mansion.

------------------------------------------------

Everyone rushed to Yn's room...

Jungkook was the first to rush in, kicking the door open.

Jk: "Y/N!!"

She was lying motionless on the floor, her hand cold against the marble tiles.

Jimin: "Call the doctor! NOW!"

RM: "No time — get the car ready!"

V: (lifting her in his arms, voice shaking) "Hang on, princess. Don't you dare close your eyes."

Jin: "Move! Everyone, out of the way!"

Suga: "Everything is gonna be okay — just stay with us Yn don't close your eyes please."

They rushed her to the hospital, their hearts pounding louder than the sirens.

-------------------------------------------------

[ Hospital – ICU Waiting Area ]

The brothers sat outside, still in shock. None of them spoke for a while — until Jk broke the silence.

Jk: "She didn't even do anything wrong… and look what happened."

Suga: "All because of Dad's pride."

RM: "He crossed the line this time."

Jimin: "We're not letting him hurt her again."

Jin: (clenching fists) "We stand together on this. No more silence."

V: (eyes red) "She fainted calling his name, hyung… she was still hoping he'd forgive her, even though there wasn't any fault of hers."

Just then, their father entered, his usual commanding aura dimmed by guilt.

Dad: (quietly) "How is she?"

Suga: (coldly) "You should've thought about that before starving your own daughter."

RM: "We tried to talk to you. But you chose punishment over love."

Jhope: "She's not a soldier, she's your only daughter!"

Jungkook: "She hasn't eaten for two days because of you!"

Jimin: "Do you even know what that feels like?"

V: "She almost died because of your orders!"

Jin: "She was alive only on water!"

Their father lowered his head, his hands trembling slightly — a rare crack in his iron mask.

Dad: (voice breaking) "I… I didn't mean for this to happen. I just wanted her to learn—"

Jin: "She learned pain, Father. Not discipline."

Suga: "If you tell a bird to fly in anger and give punishment, the bird will still not fly until you show love and courage. "

The room went quiet again — only the steady beeping of the monitor behind the glass window.

Through the window, they saw Y/N sleeping peacefully, an IV line attached to her hand. Doctors and nurses standing near her, checking all medical reports.

Jin: "Now stop it. What happened is gonna just don't do that to her again."

Jhope: "Hyung is right, we can't see our princess in pain. "

RM: (softly) "Hmm, she'll wake up… and when she does, she'll need all of us — even you, dad."

Their father took a deep breath, tears rolling down his cheeks.

For the first time in years, the Mafia King didn't look powerful — he looked human.

---------------------------------------------------

[ A Few Hours Later – Hospital Room ]

Yn was transferred to a private room.The soft beeping of machines filled the quiet room. Moonlight slipped through the blinds, brushing against Y/N's pale face.

Her fingers twitched first — then her eyes slowly opened. The world came back blurry, quiet, heavy with the smell of antiseptic.

As her vision cleared, she saw them.

All seven of her brothers were asleep around her bed — Jin sleeping on a chair, Jungkook's head resting on the edge of her blanket, V curled near her arm, holding her hand like he was afraid to let go. Jimin and Suga on the sofa. RM, and J-Hope were outside the room talking to the doctor about Yn medicines and her condition.They all were still in their night clothes.

Her eyes softened.

Yn: (she whispered weakly) "Oppas…"

V stirred first, blinking in disbelief.

V: "Y/N? Princess?Baby Bear?"

The others shot awake instantly — chairs scraping, voices overlapping.

Jhope and Rm entered the room after hearing there voices.

Jin: "She's awake!"

Jimin: "Oh thank God."

Suga: (worriedly) "Don't you ever scare us like that again. OK KITTY?"

Jungkook: (sniffling, trying to sound tough) "You really had to make us cry in public, huh?"

Y/N smiled faintly, her voice weak but full of warmth.

Y/N: "I'm sorry… I didn't mean to worry you."

Jin: "Shh. No more sorrys, okay? You rest now."

He brushed her hair gently, and the others nodded, relief washing over their faces.

Just then, their father appeared quietly in the doorway. His usual commanding presence was gone — replaced with guilt and sorrow.

He stepped closer, voice trembling.

Dad: "Y/N… I'm sorry, my daughter."

Tears slid down his cheeks — the first they'd ever seen.

Y/N blinked, surprised.

Y/N: "Dad…"
