The Truth

"What do you mean your moving in with him? How did this happen?" J-hope asked confused.

Ren sighed. "He won't fukin help Tae. If I don't move in with him."

Rm said. "Get a lawyer."

Ren nodded her head sideways and said. "No one believes in Tae. Everything points out to him and it won't end well. The only one that believes in him is Yoongi. He's the only one that they will listen to and get him out. I literally have no choice. Look it's ok. It's only temporary just to help Tae. I'll do anything. Obviously, this is all staged and we need to help him out. Besides, what he's asking isn't that much. So, I'll do it just until Tae gets out and boom! We'll be back as a family and leave again together."

They all thought about it but not much could be changed. They all finally agreed and let her go. Just until Tae came back and they hoped for the best.

"Maybe you guys can help Yoongi with evidence during the day." She suggested to them.

Jin nodded his head. "Don't worry. We'll figure this out."

Ren left with her things and went back to Yoongi's office.

"I'll take you to the house to get you settled." He said. They went to the truck and he began to drive.

"How are things?" She asked very anxious.

"Ren I'm not just working on Tae's case. Don't put pressure on us. Tae is fine and won't die. I'm paying for them to treat him well. He isn't suffering. Relax and focus on your new job." He smiled as he pulled up to the house.

"You live so close to your job. Why not just walk?" She asked confused.

"I'm a border patrol agent that has to quickly drive into the desert for long hours." He informed her like she didn't know what he did for a living.

She rolled her eyes at his sarcasm. He got her things down and went into a small room.

"I have to go back. I'll pick you up later to go pick up Alie at the school. Stay here. I mean it." He warned her.

"Yeah yeah yeah." She said as she unzipped her bag and began to take her things out. He softly smiled and walked away. Ren didn't see as she had her back facing him.

"Wait. How will I live under the same roof as that dumb girl?" She stopped as she asked but remembered Yoongi was gone. "Crap! What a punishment..." She thought to herself.

Later, on that day he went to go pick Ren up and went on the way to Alie's school. They didn't talk the whole way as Ren had to many thoughts in her head to even speak.

Alie came out and got in the truck.

"How was school?" Yoongi asked with a soft smile.

"The same." She answered kind of annoyed and Ren knew why.

"What happened?" Alie asked looking at Ren.

Ren looked back at her and sadly said. "My friend is in jail for something he didn't do. So, Yoongi will fix everything."

Yoongi corrected her. "I will try my best best to show his innocence."

Ren rolled her eyes and then asked Alie. "So, it seems you may graduate sooner than your classmates. What have you thought about being? She asked. "No pressure." She quickly added.

Alie giggled. "I think I wanna grow up to be like you." She said making Yoongi very angry.

Yoongi immediately said. "Oh no you will not! She's a criminal. I didn't get this far so you can just throw your life like that!"

Ren looked at him with disbelief. "Calm down, Yoongi! She's just kidding."

"Well, I don't like that joke. Tell her that it's wrong." He ordered her.

Ren crossed her arms across her chest and said. "No."

Yoongi sighed in frustration. "Do you want her to grow up in the same environment as you? You want her getting chased by Cham?"

"Of course not! I don't want anybody being in danger." She couldn't believe what he was saying.

Alie asked. "Doesn't good people put their life's in danger to help others?"

Yoongi said. "Yeah fighter fires but not criminals."

"Can you not call me that? I'm actually pretty nice." Ren praised herself.

"Yeah! You're jail ceil, won't be though." He offended her.

He parked the truck and before getting off he said. "Alie you can't grow up to be like her ok. I know you like her but she's not a good influence."

"Then why is she here?" Alie asked.

"Because Analie can't take care of you or me. She's going to take care of you now." He informed her.

"Why does it sound like you're leaving her?" Ren asked kind of scared.

Yoongi got off and then them. They followed behind.

"I don't want you to go." Alie said.

"I won't but if you turn out like her I will." He pointed at Ren.

"Can you stop? You're being mean." Ren said kind of mad.

Alie pouted and Yoongi ordered her to shower. She left but stayed by the stairs to listen to them. Yoongi went to the kitchen to make food and Ren sat on the stool by the kitchen counter.

"So, when will that girl come back? It's pretty late." Ren asked.

"Why? You wanna leave?" He asked.

"I don't want to live under the same roof with that girl." She said kind of uncomfortable.

"Why you scared you'll get jealous?" He teased her.

"Of course not! I'm scared I'll beat Alie's mom up and she'll hate me." Ren quickly said.

"Why do you care?" He asked looking back at her.

"Because she's the only one that actually doesn't think I'm a criminal like you. I'm a hero in her eyes." She informed him.

"Well, yeah you're her mom." He said before looking away.

Ren eyes widen. "What?" Her heart stung a little.

Yoongi looked at her. "What? Don't tell me you forgot you had a kid." He said unbelievably.

"I never knew if she survived..." Ren softly said.

Yoongi chuckled but it was more forceful. "Well, yeah you left us. How could you right? It's not like you couldn't ask the doctor of her condition."

"I thought she died and you named her after Alie." Ren said.

"How could I get with someone right after you left? That's insane!" He looked at her disgusted. "Is that what you think of me?" He asked.

"Alie told me that that was her mom. The girl I beat up." Ren rubbed her face trying to understand.

Yoongi nodded his head. "Yeah she calls her that because she's been there for us. She's been the mom that you never were for her."

Ren teared up a little bit as she stated. "How you want me to be a mom if I'm a criminal? I'm no good for her!"

"Then fukin change! It's not hard! I would change for her and you." He yelled at her.

Ren chuckled. "You never left border patrol!"

"But it benefited you and the members. Besides, I changed. I'm not the same guy. I'm a father now and changed for the better unlike you." He said going back to cooking.

"That's why I'm leaving when Tae comes back." Ren quickly said trying to make him feel better.

He chuckled. "You're leaving again?After, even knowing she's your daughter and she's alive?" He asked.

"My place is taken and she's doing a better job than I could ever do." Ren said with a serious tone.

"She's not her real mom. You are!" He yelled at her again.

Ren chuckled and asked. "You wanna have her and me under the same household?"

"Analie doesn't live here. She has her own apartment." He informed her.

Ren sighed. "But she likes you."

Yoongi smiled. "But I don't. You think I have a head for that? Yeah I'm grateful for what's she's done but that's it. I only have space for Alie."

Ren just stared at Yoongi. He was so responsible and caring. She made the right choice of leaving her with him.

"Say something." He asked looking at her again.

"I did the right thing leaving her with you. She's so smart and kind." She said.

"When will you put her first?" He asked really upset.

"I always have." She replied.

"No! You put the members first! They don't fukin need you! SHE DOES!"

Ren hushed Yoongi. "Shut up. She'll hear you."

"I hope she does maybe you'll change for her." He hissed as he got some clean plates and put them on the table.

"And what? Do you think she'll just accept me? Thank me for leaving her all alone with you. Missing out so many years of her life?" She asked to see if he saw how pathetic she sounded but it back fired.

"Ask her why she gets bullied at school. I know she doesn't want to tell me that she is again. We've moved so many times because of it. Ask her? I dare you." He said looking at her.

"Alie! Come down and eat! Foods ready!" He shouted towards upstairs.

Alie came down slowly and Yoongi furrowed his eyebrows. He asked. "Why are you still in your school uniform?"

"I took a nap. Sorry, I will after I eat." She said.

Yoongi nodded his head and they all took a seat. Alie was just very quiet and kept looking at Ren.

"Is everything ok?" Ren asked.

Yoongi answered. "She's quiet after naps."

Alie just continued to observe her as she couldn't believe she was her mom.

"Hurry up and eat. You still need to shower." Yoongi reminded her.

Alie nodded.

"You have any homework you need help on?" Ren asked trying to avoid silence.

Alie looked at her again and then at Yoongi.

Ren chuckled as she recalled. "Oh sorry, I forgot you're really smart."

Silence took over again and she remembered Tae.

"So, what happened with Tae?" She asked again putting pressure on Yoongi.

Yoongi looked at Alie and then at Ren. "We don't talk about work related things infront of kids." He informed her.

Ren sighed and waited for Alie to finish. Ren phone began to ring. She stood up and went to the living room.

"What's up?" She answered.

"You coming to help tonight?" Rm asked.

"Hold up." She said and then looked at Yoongi.

"Tell him you have a job and can't attend." Yoongi said before going to the kitchen sink with a smirk on his face.

Ren pouted and sighed as she hanged up. Yoongi came back with his laptop and Alie finished eating.

She came around and hugged Yoongi as she said. "I hope you pass your final exams."

Yoongi kissed her forehead and softly smiled at her. "Thank you. Now, go shower." He said before they both laughed. She's nodded her head and left to shower.

"You're doing online school?" Ren asked walking up to him.

"Yeah." He answered.

"Wow!" Ren smiled as she was very impressed by him.

"For what?" She asked very excited.

"Nothing." He answered with a serious tone.

"Oh! You want me to leave you alone, huh? I got it. Well, good luck!" She said before going to her room.

After, awhile Ren went to go check up on Alie and she was asleep. She then went past Yoongi's bedroom but he wasn't there. She went downstairs to see if he was there at the dining table and to her surprise he was.

"You're still up?" She asked as she came from behind.

He just nodded and she nodded her head mocking him. Ren went back upstairs and went to sleep for awhile. She got up again to check up on him and he was asleep on his closed laptop. Ren chuckled and got a blanket to put it over him. He woke up though.

"Couldn't you be more romantic?" He asked slowly looking up at her.

Ren smiled and said "Of course. If you want I'll pick you up and take you up the stairs to your bed."

"Okay. Do it." He said half asleep.

Ren just laughed and helped him up.

"Stay here." He said holding her hand back.

"What will Alie say? I can't." Ren grew anxious.

"Won't you tell her?" He softly asked.

"I can't." Ren softly said before pulling away and leaving.
