You took a deep breath when the doorbell rang as you stood there right behind it. You had heard the car pulling over way before they reached to press that button but even if you hadn't, there was only one person that you were expecting.

You left some seconds to pass as your emotions were tangled in a storm inside you then you prepared yourself to pull some smiles and mannerisms as you left your hand to reach the knob and open the door.

"Mrs. Oh. It's an honor to have you."You greeted her politely with a bow as you from the corner of your eyes, tried to count how many guards she had brought with her.

"Mrs.Lee, the honor is all mine." She replied politely as ever, with a sweet smile hanging on her lips.

You proceeded to welcome her in and she took a step inside before telling her guards to remain outside then she walked further in where you gestured for her to have a seat at the couch.

"You could let any of them in, I don't mind. I understand the importance of your safety after all."  You told her and she shook her head lightly.

"Thank you for your understanding dear but I feel more than safe with you. Have no worries about it."She smiled at you however you could tell that behind her smile and friendliness lied a darker aura.

"Should I bring you a cup of tea, or coffee, till our dinner gets ready?"You suggested and she laughed making you drop your proper mannerism and let your fake smile wear off.

Why was it so frustrating? Seeing her smiling, laughing..breathing.

"There is no need for such. Just seat beside me. Let's have some talk till our dinner gets ready."She declined and you placed a thin sile on your lips again before you proceed to seat at a safe distance from her on the same couch she was.

"Firstly, I wanted to thank you for accepting my invitation. I know you schedule must be very hectic."

"Oh dear, I would make time for you no matter what."She replied however her words felt more like a threat instead of friendly.

"I am surprised. May I know what I did to secure this interest that you have in me?"You questioned pretended to be clueless and she smirked before leaning a bit forward towards you.

"You are the one surprising me, actually. Keeping up this facade way better than I thought you would."She replied in a lower tone, bringing an end to this fool's play you had started.

"It seems I will be surprising you in many ways tonight then."You replied as you left your hostile expression take over your face, showing the dislike and anger you held towards that woman.

"That. That ambition and confidence were what always brought you in trouble dear, yet here you are, thinking that you have a chance against me."  She smiled mocking you and your tries, thing that got in your nerves but you managed to control yourself and not let it show.

"Well, you may be right. However we all have certain trades that bring us in trouble. Yours for example is obsession and greed."

"Maybe I can be obsessed with certain things but greedy as to what?" She questioned and then you smiled, hoping that it would annoy her as much as her smiles were annoying you.

"You long for things that belong to others. Like love." You replied and you could see the glimpse one her eyes changing to darker.

"His love didn't belong to her. It was mine way before she came along!"She spoke through greeted teeth, showing clearly her irritation that gave you to understand that her self control was lower than you had imagined.

"You are wrong. TaeYong never loved you. That is the reason you are so mad, to begin with, aren't you? Because you fell for him completely while he just lied to you."You calmly spoke triggering words and she fell silent, staring at you.

"I came here tonight thinking that you may have some resentful words to say to me after finding out the truth and who was responsible for your friend's death. Who would have thought that you just wanted to make sure that I wasn't hurt or something? So nice of you Mrs.Lee."Her sarcastic response made you stand up from your position, feeling your nerves rising.

"Of course you must have been hurt. However your actions after, have no excuse. You made her kill herself in this very room. You made MinHee choose between seeing the love of her life die in front of her eyes or take her own life. You may have never stained your hands with her blood, but you are the cause of her death." You accused her directly as you wanted the footage that you were to collect to be as clear as possible.

"And? Why are you so bitter about it dear? Everyone dies at some point. If you think well about it, you would realize I did her a favor. Who knew if he was to hurt her one day the way he hurt me. I could be considered her savior because I speared her from seeing the man she loved become nothing before her. I gave her the chance to sacrifice herself for the one she loved. If you ask me, I made her ending a fairytale. So instead of looking at me with those angered eyes, maybe you should thank me instead." HaNeul replied as she too stood up before you, looking serious and all proud of her words while you just stood there speechless at her disorientated opinions.

Did she really believe what she said? Did she really have the nerve to find herself righteous and mercifully in this situation enough to be wanting of you to be thankful towards her? Just what was wrong with that mind of hers?

"Is this how your delusional world seems like? Cause You must be really out of your mind to think that anyone would ever thank you for that." You replied and she laughed as if she had heard the most amusing and funny thing ever and the joyful sound that went on for some minutes, just kept pushing your nerves to the edge with every tick of the clock.

How could she laugh? How could she live happily and joyfully after what she did without even the smallest hint of guilt inside her? Just what kind of human was she?

"You are really entertaining Y/N. If the situation was different I may have preferred you alive." She said right after her laughter died down and her eyes changed making you quickly pull out your gun, just like she did.

---Meanwhile---

Jimin had reached near MinHee's house but had stopped at a close distance, noticing the two cars parking in front of the small gate as well as the five men that which he was able to distinguish despite the darkness and the distance.

He quickly stepped out of the vehicle and pulled his phone, calling NamJoon whom seem to have been the one calling him nonstop for thirty minutes now.

"Hyung, I need back up. I am in Busan, Minhee's house. The place is full of guards and I think Y/N must be in there."He reported quickly knowing well that the situation didn't seem light, to not mention that the sight had install reminded him of TaeYong's description of the night MinHee had died.

"I am on my way! Stay put!" NamJoon ordered him and he hanged up however as Jimin looked towards the house his heart just couldn't help but keep growing in uneasiness.

What if they are in there, trying to harm her? What if they are planning to do to her what they did with MinHee?

A scary thought passed in his mind as if they were to do so, taking into consideration the latest events, it could pass more than believable to the ones aware of the situation for her to claim that she committed suicide. And even to the others who weren't aware of everything, like your parents were, they could easily believe the claim, knowing that you never liked this marriage much and as such a day could come that your patience could reach its peak.

Only the possibility of that happening had Jimin moving quickly and sneakily into the night till he reached the backside of the house and gave a quick look at his surroundings to make sure that he had fallen to anyone's notice. Then he took some steps back in order to provide himself with the right speed that would make him manage to reach and get hold of the top of the wall that was separating him from the house.

Once he had managed to climb it and had landed at the other side successfully, he again gave a quick look around him, this being something that wasn't unusual for him, and as such his emotions and fear of getting caught were nowhere present. All he was thinking of was getting in there and make sure that you were okay.

He proceeded to find the closest window and planning to break in through it as quickly and as quietly as he could manage at the moment despite the lack of tools that he had.

---Change of set---

"Now now, someone sure is trying desperately to live," HaNeul commented as she saw that you hadn't come unprepared.

"You could say so ." You smirked as you held your gun with both your hands directed at her the same hers was directed at you.

"You know that this is futile. You should be aware that you won't get out of this house alive." She spoke of something that you actually knew well however that was not enough to stop you from trying. 

Even if you were to die, the footage you had gathered was enough proof of her crime and when they were to find it she was gonna be in trouble. The possibility of her corrupting the police was high however but you wanted to believe that NamJoon wasn't like the others and even if he couldn't go against his higher-ups, he could find the right way to use it.

Maybe it could be considered a bit reckless of you to depend on a stranger that you barely knew like that but since he was Jimin's friend, you couldn't help but feel reassured. Yes, he betrayed you but he had a reason to do so and if he truly was in general kind and just as you believed of him to be, no matter if he loved you or not, in the end, you wanted to believe that he would do what is right.

"A bullet is a bullet. If I am to die, what makes you think i won't shoot you too?"You replied seriously as truth was that you more than wanted to harm her. It wasn't right but your mind was full of thoughts that wanted to cause her pain and make her suffer. Your heart was full of hate and negativity, enough to consider her life something you would gladly dismiss, for protection or not.

"Oh is that so."She said and then to your surprise she lowered her gun, an action that made you perplexed.

"You want to kill me? Go ahead. Shoot me." She added as she took a step closer making you take a step back.

"Don't come any closer." You told her sternly as nervousness rose inside you and a war started going on in your head. 

You wanted to hurt her , you wanted to wipe those smiles away from her lips cause she didn't deserve them according to you but you also couldn't help but feel unable to take a  life. It just didn't seem to be in you despite the bad thoughts that were running in your head and somehow that surfaced , making your hands start to tremble slightly.

"I enjoyed it, you know. The way her eyes rolled at the back of her head while tears streamed down her eyes. How her body was hanging-"

"SHUT UP!" You yelled at her, as her words were driving you crazy, making your blood rush inside your veins.

"I smile every day remembering it. How pathetic she looked. A face full of worthless tears." She started laughing and you at that moment got so mad that you left your finger to pull the trigger.

The sound echoed in the room and your eyes grew wide, as your mind processed what you had just done then you heard someone call your name and a figure appeared out of nowhere before you , right before some more gunshots filled the atmosphere.

They came from the window, of which you had been standing right before it after the steps you took back, realizing just now that she had acted that way only to take you there. She was planning to kill you from the start and apparently her pulling out a gun was just a decoy as she wasn't the one, assigned to shoot you.

However, you realized all this a bit too late and now you were left in shock, looking at Jimin's body that was still standing before you, sheltering you.

"Ji-Ji.."You mumbled then his body collapsed at the side, the once clean floor quickly getting filled with the color of his blood.

"W-why..You shouldn't ..Jimin" You fell to your knees beside him and turned him over, only to see that he had withstood the two shots that were destined for you, creating two holes on his chest

"Why...WHY!?" Your eyes started shedding tears as you clenched onto him, full of fear and desperation. Why did he do that? Why did he sacrifice his life like that in a block of an eye without any hesitation? Was he crazy? Why would anyone do that for you?

You had so many questions and things to say to him at that moment yet all he was able to do was look at you as his conscious started drifted away , finding no strength to speak nor keep his eyes open anymore, even though he sure had a lot that he wanted to tell you as well.

Y/N...I am sorry...I just want you to live... 

He thought as his heartbeat echoed on his ears and your voice started growing more and more distant.

Because I have gone mad...because... I tasted love.
