Brake make a weird noise like its dragging a metal behind it

I have a 2009 Honda Accord Coupe. I recently had to travel abroad so I left my car idle for about 3 months. Today when I started my car and drove around the block I realized that its making a weird noise like its dragging a metal behind it which has contact with the road or its like two metal rubbing against each other in a continuous spin. The break works fine but I am worried. It only makes the sound when I am breaking and I am not sure what to expect or if its ok to drive or not etc. Please advice. Thanks.

Your going to need to inspect the brakes it could just be rust on rotors

Prolonged parking can cause the brakes to stick but usually it is only rust and a little running should clear the noise, after the rust are worn off.
