The Dreadful Present

Author's POV

"Apologise to her right now!" Jin said with fake anger lasing in it. Namjoon blinked his eyes rapidly before understanding what was happening. He soon unwantedly apologised. "I-I am...sorry?" It sounded more like a question than an apology but Namjoon didn't care. He wouldn't apologise to a bitch like her. "That didn't sound much like an apology. Try once again." This time the lady said. By this point, she was really getting on Namjoon's nerves. But Joon couldn't really lash out because Jin and many other people were watching him.

"M-ma'am, I am very sorry about what I did. I sincerely apologize for it." Namjoon bowed to her. He really didn't know why he had to apologize for a simple action. It's not like he stole something or tried killing her. Even if he does try killing her which he will, he will still not apologize to her.

As soon as Joon said that, he ran out of the ballroom. Well, he can't bear to be in the same hall as the person who is in the arms of his soon-to-be lover. Yup, Namjoon was confident that Jin will become his. So yeah, he got out of the ballroom, and tried looking for the red room and at the same time for another victim to target.

He decided to go to the third floor. And well, it was the bar. A party isn't a party if there ain't a bar, huh? 21st-century people! But yeah, it was a vintage bar, since that's the theme. Come on, it's a palace, so vintage is all over the place. Ok, enough with the bar and vintage talk, back to Joon.

Namjoon walked up the stairs and saw a vintage bar. There weren't as many people as in the ballroom. Because the majority were just there. But he did see a good amount of people. Most of them were chit-chatting, some were drinking alone like freakin losers and a few were extremely drunk. Namjoon just sighed at the sight and walked forward towards the bar to grab a drink and start hunting again. I mean...that's what he was doing right? Hunting for a prey to torture.

He sat down and ordered a random drink that he could think of. The vibe of that floor was more of a chill one than a fancy one. After a while, Namjoon got his drink and started sipping on it while thinking about where the red room could be. But the train of thoughts crashed when he heard two familiar voices.

"Oh my goodness, I think I saw Seokjin! I am not entirely sure though if it was him, but yeah. Now give me the money, I won the bet! I told you that Jinnie was going to be here." A feminine voice said. Namjoon's hands clenched around the glass when he heard her say Jinnie. No one was allowed to call Jin by that nickname but only him...and maybe his brother Jimin, but whatever.

"But you're not entirely sure, right? So why should I give you the money?" Another voice feminine said. Namjoon wasn't really looking at them since he was just looking down at his drink so he didn't exactly know who it was. But he still tried guessing who it was. "No, no, I heard his voice! I really think it was him. Now just give me the money!" The younger sounding voice whined. It kinda annoyed Namjoon, but there was nothing that he could do about it.

"Ok, ok, fine, here. 10,000 won, you are not getting more since that's what we betted on." The older voice said. After saying that, both of the people started laughing for some reason. Maybe the alcohol was kickin in. Ha! Drunk heads! Anyways, the laugh was extremely similar to someone Namjoon knew. 'The Park sisters?' He thought. And that filled in all the missing puzzles. They were the Park sisters, kids of the Park family that were friends of the Kim family. Aka, Jin and Jimin's family. Also, the sisters' names were Park Daeun and Park Hana. Hana was the oldest and Daeun was the youngest.

Namjoon's brain instantly thought about the past. They were the people that tried to have a relationship with Jin. Well, Jin obviously hated them and wanted to get them out of the way. But he couldn't do that since his parents would have killed him during those times. Times when they were actually alive.

Namjoon raised his head and looked at his right side. He wasn't able to see their whole faces since they were wearing masks on their eyes. But it was enough for Namjoon to confirm that it was them. You see, you can almost never forget your enemies or the people you extremely detest. He then looked back down, he didn't want to get their attention.

"You know that bitch, Lee Chun-Hwa, right?" Daeun said. "Yeah, what about her?" "She is literally dancing with Seokjin right now." "Really?" "Yeah, I am sure that Jin's going to dump her real soon, though" "He always does that." 'So her name is Chun-Hwa' Namjoon smirked at the thought. By the way, if you don't know, the sisters were not too close to Namjoon but enough for Namjoon to hear their conversation. They were around two seats away from him on his right. And Like I said, there weren't many people, so no one was sitting on those two seats.

Namjoon continued to sip on his drink until..."Hey, the handsome blue and blond-haired gentleman with a dark green mask and coat." Daeun shouted in a drunk voice. Namjoons eyes widened because that was the description of him. He looked at her with a slight panic on his face. "Y-yes?" "Do you mind if we sit with you? It's kind of lonely!" Yup! She was definitely drunk! "U-Uh...sure.." Namjoon spoke while still being unsure. Daeun ran and sat to his right. Hana just sighed and slowly made her way towards the seat beside her sister.

"Sorry about her, she is just really high," Hana said with slight disappointment. "Oh no, it's fine. It was getting a little lonely for me too." Namjoon lied. "It's just that you are so so so so handsome even with a mask covering your face," Daeun spoke before giggling. "You guys are pretty as well." He gave his signature dimple smile. They talked a little bit more until Namjoon excused himself. "Well it was nice talking to you both, I will get going, cause I am planning on exploring this palace." He smiled. "Awww! Oh...well, I wanted to talk more but you can go!" Daeun pouted. "I hope we meet again," Hana said. "I hope so too! Bye," And with that Namjoon started walking towards the staircase.

Right when he turned his back his face instantly changed from a dimpled smile to a satanic smirk. 'I guess I found 2 more targets. 1 more to go.' He thought in his head. He planned on killing 4 people as brutally as possible.

Now his plan was to finally find the room while looking for one more prey. He didn't have a clue where the room could be. So he settled on the idea of going to every single floor and finding that damn door. He really wished that there would be an elevator around here. So the 4th floor it was! Good luck to Namjoon's legs.

He arrived at the 4th floor, the floor was just full of doors. It was like a hotel, there was a huge square balcony on the floor and the rooms were 2 meters away from the balcony. Just like a hotel. All the doors were black. So in disappointment Namjoon went to the 5th floor.

And well...it was the same again. Namjoon was still near the staircase, he was too lazy to actually look at each door closely, so he just gave the whole floor a quick look from afar. Nothing, no sign of the red door. He walked to the 6th floor, it was all the same again and there was no red door. Namjoon was slowly and painfully losing his patience.

The seventh floor? Hahaha! No, he didn't find it there either. You should know by now. Namjoon was literally so done. He gave out a loud sigh and decided to have a little rest on that floor. He was panting, ok! He has been climbing a lot of stairs.

As he was walking by a door he heard a weird kind of noise, more like a loud moan. Ohhhhhh, someone was doing the dirty, huh? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Namjoon freaked out and ran out of that floor. He was a panicked virgin. But before he ran and climbed the stairs, he noticed something. An elevator. Namjoon's eyes widened and he ran towards the elevator.

Namjoon rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't hallucinating. And of course, he wasn't. When he realised it was real, he kicked the wall really hard out of frustration. "I can't believe I didn't notice it! My poor legs!" He yelled. Now he is definitely not planning on using the staircase. He quickly pressed the button and the doors opened. It even works! It was surprising because it looked like a very old and vintage elevator.

Namjoon kept checking every floor and soon reached the 23rd floor. Yeah, the boy was working real hard on finding the room. Before he could leave, he heard a voice of a woman and saw her shadow along with someone else's. "I love you so much, Daddy." A giggle was heard after that sentence.

It was Jung Minsoo, Namjoon's greatest enemy and Jin's ex-girlfriend. Namjoon has both heard about her and witnessed her actions in real life. Minsoo used to be Jin's girlfriend when Jin was, you know...weak. He was not weak, but he looked like an innocent bean in front of the world. So Minsoo used him for his money, broke his heart and left him all alone. It's very surprising that Jin didn't hunt her down. Because if you mess with Kim Seokjin, you die. The reason he didn't kill her was that he wanted to destroy her when she had everything she wanted, power, money, etc. But now, he didn't have to get his hands dirty, because Joon was willingly going to get that job done.

Minsoo actually also hurt Namjoon. It was when she saw how close Namjoon and Jin were. Jealousy kicked in, she didn't want Jin to be happy. She spread many false rumours about Namjoon in the past. She was jealous of Namjoon. And Namjoon was not surprised that she was still whoring around men. She was born a slut.

Namjoon didn't even have to look to confirm it was her; he just knew it was her. Though, he did give a quick peek to see how she looked so he could find her again. Then he quickly but quietly ran back to the elevator. This time he decided to go to the top floor. He didn't know why, but his guts were just telling him to.

When he arrived at the top floor, he saw a corridor and then a huge balcony. He got out and walked around. His eyes instantly caught the crimson red door that was on his left. Excitement was the thing Joon could feel right now. He gave out a sigh of relief after finally finding it. He then went near the door and turned the doorknob. The door opened!

He entered the room and it was slightly dark. He tried finding a light switch beside the door and eventually found it. He slowly pressed the button and the lights opened. He closed the door and looked at his surroundings. The walls were in an emerald green colour with golden patterns. It gave a royal yet mysterious vibe. In front of Namjoon were 10 doors at a distance of about 5 meters. The doors were dark brown. They all had like numbers engraved in golden colour on them, in order. Like the first door from the left had 1 on it.

He walked to the 1st door and opened it, then again, walked inside it. It was a black and dark red room. At the back, there were two huge windows. Namjoon also noticed a black chair in the middle of the room with chains. There was also a long table with a lot of tools. Syringes, knives, katanas, guns, bullets, needles, and more. Namjoon was dumbfounded. It was all so cool for him. This also made him realise that Jin has prepared everything for him. He wanted Namjoon to be his real self. To do as many things to his victim as possible.

There were two keys in the first room which Namjoon guessed were the keys for each of the rooms. Both of the keys were the same so it was probably that the other one was just a spare.

Namjoon got out of that room and went to the second one to see if it was the same. And yes it was, all the rooms had the same interiors and tools in them. Each room was made for a single victim to be tortured. Namjoon gave a small smirk at the 10 doors. It was time for the preys to be hunted down.

Namjoon was walking in the ballroom trying to find some of his preys. Because by now almost everyone was in the ballroom. Before coming out of the red room Namjoon grabbed a gun with a silencer and 5 syringes with a drug that can make a person unconscious. 5 because 1 was for extra.

Namjoon was walking around until he saw Hana and Daeun talking in the corner. He smirked and went towards them. "Hey!" He gave out a fake smile. "Oh hey!" Daeun said. She didn't sound or look as drunk as before. "You seem to not be drunk anymore," Namjoon said. "Yeah, it even surprises me that she isn't." Hana laughed. "Well, I guess I am not. Anyways, it's nice to see you again." The youngest said. "You know I am just coming from the top floor and I found a really cool place over there." "Really?" Hana asked, "yeah, do you wanna come?" "Sure," The sisters said in unison.

When the trio was finally on that floor they started walking. "Hey guys, I need to go to the washroom. Just meet me here after 3 mins." Hana said. She went to the washroom after that. Namjoon and Daeun were the only ones left. They were also in front of the red room. "Ladies first," Namjoon said with a small smile. "Such a gentleman" Before Daeun could open the door, Namjoon injected the drug into her neck and the girl fainted.

He quickly went into the red room and then to the first room. He sat the girl on the chair, chained and cuffed her up and then went out. Before leaving he locked the room that she was in. Next was her sister. He did the same to her, chained her up and left the room after locking. Hana was obviously in room number 2.

After Finding The Preys

Since I am lazy I will just tell you that Namjoon eventually locked all of his targets in separate rooms. It was hard to find them but he did it. Now he was thinking about how he could torture them.

Room Number 1

↭↭↭↭↭↭↭

Namjoon was holding a white baseball bat while looking at Daeun. She was not awake yet. But there was a way by which you can wake the person up. An extremely loud sound or massive impact can make a person that's on any sleeping drugs, wake up. That's what Namjoon planned to do to all his victims.

He went near Daeun and hit her with as much force as possible. And surprisingly she actually started waking up. (a/n, ok I am not sure if this tactic works in real life, but let's just imagine for the sake of the story that it does) As soon as she woke up she groaned due to the pain. For torturing her, Namjoon decided to not be too brutal. "W-what? W-what is this?" She said. By the way, Namjoon has removed the masks of his victim and he removed his as well.

"Well, hello there! Now, what should I do with you?" He started walking around her. "Please, this is wrong. What do you want?!" "Oh sweetie, I don't want anything. I am just told to do whatever I want to." Namjoon said in his sweetest voice. He removed his jacket and kept it on the table. He then brought the food cart that was behind him, forward.

"Now, if you don't want me to kill you, then eat whatever the fuck I give you. Eat it as quickly as possible or you will experience something worse than pain." Namjoon said and she nodded her head. Namjoon picked up the 2 layered cake and shoved it in her mouth. She ate as fast as she could but Namjoon was still not satisfied, because she wasn't choking on it. "Faster!" He shouted.

He shoved a huge burger in her mouth and basically forced it down her throat. That is when she choked, but Namjoon still kept forcing it down her. He doesn't care if anything happens to her. Once she finished eating it, she started violently coughing. But before she could cough more Namjoon brought 2 slices of extremely thick pizza. And you know what happens. He then, at last, took 2 chicken legs and made her eat them.

"Eat the bones as well." Daeun's eyes widened, and she aggressively shook her head as a no. One of Namjoon's eyebrows raised. "Oh yeah? He took a knife and stabbed it brutally on her right thigh and then took it out. The thing that could be heard was a bloody scream. Luckily the walls were purposely soundproof, so no sound could be heard outside. "Now eat it!" He shouted again. She ate everything. After that, she was feeling extremely nauseous, her stomach was aching very badly, she didn't feel good at all. The only things that could be heard were groans.

"Aww, does it hurt? I bet it does. Here, why don't you vomit it all out?" He gave her a vomiting bag. You see, vomiting many times can be really dangerous because you will start getting dehydrated and stuff like that. Namjoon basically took advantage of that fact. He did this whole process like 2 more times.

By now, Daeun felt like fainting. "I have heard that back in the days, they used to have shows where a person puts a sword down their throat. Let's see if it actually is doable." Daeun was obviously freaking out. "N-no, p-lease, no." She said in a raspy and weak voice.

Namjoon ignored her voice and grabbed a sword. He walked towards and grabbed her jaw. "Open your mouth. Ahhh." He forcefully opened her mount and forced the sword into his throat. He aggressively turned the sword resulting in a puncture in her throat. Basically, Daeun fell to sleep, a sleep from which she can never wake up.

Namjoon took the sword out and threw it away. He walked back and looked at what he did. He gave out a devilish smirk because it felt extremely good doing it.

He wanted to do it again.

Room Number 2

↭↭↭↭↭↭↭

Namjoon stabbed the 23rd knife into Hana's body. Yup! There were a lot of knives for him to play with. This time Namjoon really wanted to see blood. Like a lot of blood on his victim's body. Also, Hana was screaming, crying, dying. She was dying slowly yet painfully.

You know I always wanted to know what would happen if you tried burning the eye. I mean, will it burn faster than the normal skin? I don't know, so let's try and see what happens." He spoke and took the candle that was already lit. He eagerly held onto her eyelid and brought the candle closer. And the next thing you know, her eye burned, obviously, it was very painful.

Since Namjoon wanted to be done with her. He took out all of the knives and made her bleed to death.

Room Number 3

↭↭↭↭↭↭↭

Namjoon poured the 2nd bottle of gasoline on Chun-Hwa. Namjoon wanted to kinda rest but still wanted to hear the screams of his victim. Yeah, he was finding out a lot about himself today. His likes, dislikes, and more.

This time he decided to burn down this person. You see, the victim is going to experience pain from the beginning to the end. It wasn't that morbid compared to what Namjoon had done just a while ago. But it still gets the job done pretty well.

He took the lighter, lit it up, and then threw it at her. Instantly, the fire started to roar around, killing her slowly yet drastically. Namjoon stepped back a little bit and watched her burn to death.

Room Number 4

↭↭↭↭↭↭↭

Now it was the last person, Jung Minsoo. As we already know, Namjoon extremely hates her. So he is going to give her the most painful death anyone has ever had. Because not only did she hurt him, but also broke his Jinnie's heart. Which is not acceptable.

"Heard, you were calling someone daddy, huh? Wonder how many cocks you've had up that filthy ass of yours." Namjoon then slapped her hard on the face. "I am sure you remember me. Right?" Minsoo was looking at him weakly. She didn't seem to recognise him. So she squinted her eyes trying to really understand who this person was.

He grabbed her jaw and came closer to her. "RIGHT?!" He shouted. That's when she realised...it was Namjoon. "K-Kim...Nam...Namjoon?" He let go of her jaw and backed away. "That's right." "W-why are you...d-doing this" She stuttered. "Well, honey, I told you...that I WILL make you pay for what you did back then." With that, he went to the table.

"Wow, there are a lot of toys that I can use." He was looking at the tools, but before he spoke more, he looked at Minsoo. "And no, they aren't the toys you will like, you whore!" He gave an angry pout. "Now, let's start with something simple, ok." He took the huge scissors and walked towards her.

"I always wanted to see the bones of a living person. Though, that's usually possible through an x-ray. But today I am thinking of seeing it without any x-ray. He kneeled down in front of her, grabbed her hand and started cutting the skin of her right arm. Minsoo was screaming her lungs out at this point.

Namjoon cut the skin of both of her hands and legs. Pieces of skin were all around and blood was everywhere as well. Her bones were clearly visible. "Try moving your arm, I wanna see how it looks like." He said with a smirk. She tried moving her arm but it was basically impossible due to the pain. Namjoon sighed.

"You're such a disappointment, even back in college. Everyone hated you due to how fucking worthless you were. Jin was the only nice one to give you a chance to be his. But you still wasted that opportunity. You're so damn dumb. Your existence makes me really lose faith in humanity." He shamed her even more and spat on her.

After that, he brought a needle and thread with him. "A while ago, I was reading a comic, in which the protagonist stiched his lover's mouth because she was so fucking annoying. Let me see if I can do the same." He slowly started stitching it. The louder she screamed, the more Namjoon got annoyed. So he aggressively stitched her mouth. It even resulted in some parts of lips being ripped apart.

When he was done, he unchained her and then threw her at the floor. Since the impact was very powerful, a bunch of blood splashed from her body. He turned her body, making her back facing him.

"You know, when I was a kid, I would always steal my friends' dolls and stab their eyes with my pencil. It was very fun. I also wanted to do that with people. But I never got the chance to do it. Though, today I can do it." He giggled. He took the knife and stabbed it in her left eye. He tortured her even more for a while. Until he finally wanted to finish her.

He took the circular electric saw and sat above her. She was facing him and crying. Namjoon turned on the saw and slowly started cutting her legs into pieces. "How did you even dare to hurt my Jin?! WHY THE FUCK DID YOU TRY TO SEPARATE US?!" By this point, she was close to dying. "Did you not know that no matter what you do...KIM SEOKJIN BELONGS TO KIM NAMJOON! AND KIM NAMJOON BELONGS TO KIM SEOKJIN!" With that, he sliced off her head and stood up.

His face looked like an angry serial killer's face. His eyes were horrifically wide and his breathing was extremely fast. He dropped the saw and looked down at himself. He was drenched in blood. His turtleneck shirt was soaked in blood along with his pants. His face had splatters of blood and his hands had blood dripping down. He licked the crimson liquid off his hands and moaned at the taste. "Delicious"

↦↦↦↦↦↦↦

Now, you must be wondering where Jin is. Oh well, he isn't in the ballroom dancing with another bitch and acting as if he doesn't know what is happening on the top floor.

He was actually watching every single movement of Namjoon through the CCTVs that were in every single torture room. Jin and Jimin were both watching since they wanted to see how far Namjoon was capable of going. And, they were exceedingly impressed by his actions. But now it was time for the finale.

↦↦↦↦↦↦↦

Namjoon was still in the room staring at the pathetic dead body of Minsoo. He was thinking about what Jin will do next. He didn't know. But he was really thankful to Jin, because of him Namjoon was able to feel so much happiness in a while. He really wanted to thank Jin and apologize to him. And maybe even...confess to him.

As Namjoon was thinking, the door suddenly opened, making Namjoon flinch violently. He looked behind and well...it was Jin. Namjoon's eyes lit up with happiness. He ran towards him with excitement. "J-jin!" He exclaimed. "I-I did it! I did it for you." "I can see that," Jin said with a gentle smile. Finally, he wouldn't have to fake hate Namjoon, now that all of this is over.

"Do you...like it? She had brutally hurt you in the past, so I did the same to her." "I do like it. I am actually really impressed of you, Hyung." He said while caressing his cheek. "I am really sorry for what I did back then. I was really dumb. I am sorry for doing all of that to you. Please forgive me." Namjoon said with his eyes watering up. "It's fine, Hyung. You have paid for your sins and I forgive you." Namjoon's eyes widened. "r-really?! Oh my God, thank you, Jinnie!!!"

"I also want to say something to you, though." Namjoon's face filled up with curiosity. "What is it, Jinnie?" Jin took a deep breath before he started to speak. "You see, I have always appreciated you since the start. I always wanted to be there for you and love you. You are the only one that ever truly understood me other than my brother. I want you to be with me for the rest of our lives. I really love you, Hyung. What I am trying to say is that.

Will you be mine? Will you be my boyfriend and my partner in the chaos that I want to create in this world?" Jin was on his knees with a bouquet of black and dark red roses. They were Namjoon's favourite roses.

Also, Namjoon was basically crying with happiness. He has always dreamed about this moment. Words couldn't describe how euphoric he was feeling. He helped Jin stand up, took the rose, and held his hand. "Of course, I love you too. I will be yours. I love you so much, Jinnie!"

He pulled Jin by his collar and kissed him passionately. Jin was shocked at the action but he gave in. He pulled Joon closer by his waist and Namjoon wrapped his arm around Jin's neck. They soon pulled away. "You were right, I belong to you, and you belong to me," Jin whispered.

Outside the Palace

After the confession, Jin brought Namjoon out of the palace through a secret exit. When they arrived outside the palace they saw Jimin there. He congratulated them on their reunion. And now they were outside the palace.

Jin lit up a lighter and then threw it at the main entrance staircase. The fire started to instantly grow bigger and bigger. Jin and Jimin wore their sunglasses. "Should we go now, doll?" Jin asked Namjoon while holding his hand. Namjoon gently nodded and showed his dimpled smile which was actually real this time.

Many black cars were waiting for them. Most of them were for their protection. The couple entered one car and Jimin entered another. Because he didn't want to be a third wheel and he was going to his personal mansion, anyways.

It was truly a magical day for Namjoon and Jin.

Ok, wow! That was around like 5 thousand words. It took me like 2 whole days to write this cuz I suck at writing. So you better vote on this shit.
