Author's Pov

The table was filled with different types of food that ranged from the father's favourite pancake to the little boy's favourite banana milk.

The mother sat next to her husband after fetching the food from the counter while the big brother sat next to the little boy.

But there was a small plan working inside the little brain of the boy. He needs to win her parents over with something he plans to do.

"Mom~" He whined cutely knowing that his dear mother cannot resist his bunny smile he inherited from his father.

"I already said no Jungkook." His mom said making the little boy slump back in the chair crossing his hands across the chest pouting.

"It's too dangerous to visit the market at night buddy." His dad then sided with his mom making the boy's pout deepen.

The older boy watched the exchange and then smiled looking at his parents. "I'll be with them. So that they won't be alone."

The boy who was pouting quickly stood in the chair and looked at his parents with his huge doe eyes gleaming with excitement and hope.

His mom smiled watching the boy and gave a nod. "Fine. But you both have to protect Y/nie okay?"

The boys chorus their promise to protect the little girl together knowing that it isn't something that should be done just cause they were asked to. It's something they will always do no matter what.

Breakfast was over quickly with the boy swinging his legs on the chair munching on a pancake dreaming about the plan he finally got permission to do.

Resigning into the shared bedroom of him and his brother, he slumped on the bed.

His brother watched the boy and smiled. Curiousity filled him so he couldn't help but voice out his question.

"Why do you want to take her to the market at night?"

Jungkook lifts his head up to peep at his brother who is 8 years older than him.

"I heard people say that the place looks beautiful. Also the stars are so pretty from there at night. That's what they said. And since Y/nie likes stars, I want to take her." He mentioned.

Jungsoo smiled at his brother who got back into day dreaming again.

The day went by and soon nighttime came. The two boys left their place with a few snacks their mom made to go pick Y/n up from her house.

Y/n's parent's trusted the boys to protect her and they also knew Jungsoo is a really good boy who would never let any harm come to the little couple.

So when they went to pick her up, they were greeted with a warm welcome by her parents.

"Hello boys. Y/n is in her room. Why don't you guys go and ask her to come?" Her mom said with a smile.

Jungkook thanks his aunt and ran to Y/n's room excitedly screaming the girl's name. Jungsoo sat down on the sofa.

The littlest boy they all adore came into the living room then dragging an iron man figure holding it from it's head. The boy was wiping his eyes as if he just got up from sleeping.

Upon seeing the older brother whom he adore so much, he screamed as loud as a 3 year old can muster. "Jughsoonie hyung!"

Jungsoo smiled at the self made nickname of the little boy. He ran with his cubby legs and jumped onto the boy's lap and curled in, looking for a good position that he always sit on in his lap.

"Hyungie is go out?" He asked with a little lasp.

Jungsoo caressed the boy's head. "Yea. I'm taking your sister and Jungkookie hyung out to see stars."

The boy pouted. "I see stars too. Markie wants see stars."

He rocked the boy back and forth while comforting him with a promise to take him to see all the stars in the beautiful night sky when he is just a little more older.

The little couple then came into the living room, holding each other's hands exclaiming with their excitement.

Jungsoo kept the now sleeping Mark on the couch and covered him with the blanket before bidding good byes from her parents.

He then grabbed the tiny hand of Y/n and the 3 made their way to their favourite place.

The bench in the market place.

Sitting down on the bench with the boys on either side of the girl, they stared at the sky.

"So beautiful." The girl exclaimed seeing the night sky spearing like a work of art.

Today the artist has paid great attention to details painting the night sky with little shinning dots. The neat placement of the flickering lights, made the dark sky appear brighter than the world that's coloured with light.

The girl's eyes were shinning with the stars in them watching the artwork while Jungkook had his eyes set on the girl. For him, she is his everything.

Even at a young age where the romantic aspect of love is foreign to them, he felt the gratitude and adoration for the girl.

Even at a young age when it was all about receiving the love of their elders, they learnt to love another soul.

Jungsoo watched his brother's gaze that was directed at the girl. His face lighting up with a smile. No matter what anyone would say, no one would ever be able to guess the amount of love he has for his younger siblings. Jungkook, Y/n and little Mark is all he care about. They are his world.

When Jungkook cried falling down from the bicycle, Jungsoo took him out to see the lights of the city carrying the boy on his shoulder the whole ride.

When Y/n injured her hand touching the hot baked cake tray, Jungsoo put ointment on it while making cute faces to distract the little girl. Her laughter at his silliness was making the boy smile with glee.

The way the little boy knows the perfect way to curl on Jungsoo's lap and immediately fall asleep so comfortably never failed to melt the boy's heart.

He loved them so much.

He still love them all more than anything.

The silence of the night was soon broken with the ringing off the phone.

Fishing out his phone from his pocket, the boy whispered to the little couple. "Stay right here. Don't go anywhere until I get here. Okay?"

The couple chorus okay together. Jungkook held Y/n's hand and continued to watch the stars again. Both starting to voice out their thoughts about the different shapes they see with the stars.

The older made his way towards the side road, away from the other 2 to answer the phone call he is getting from his friend.

The call was long as his friend was faced with a small problem that needed someone to listen to as he couldn't bare it alone. When times get hard Jungsoo is the first person everyone reached out to as he is calm and offered pretty good advices.

While the brother was busy with the phone call, the little boy and the girl stayed giggling.

"Look there." The girl pointed her finger at the sky. "That looks like a cat."

"And there it looks like a cockaroach." The boy pointed making the girl pout.

"I hate cockaroach."

"They don't hurt you though." The boy remarked making the girl smile.

They conversation about the stars were stopped when they heard the approaching footsteps of more than one person.

The little boy got scared. Without Jungsoo with them, he has to protect the girl. He is only 8 years old.

He scooted closer to the girl who had her eyes big with a small fear watching the shadows approaching them.

3 boys in total came towards them while playing with tree sticks.

"What are you babies doing here at night?" Once asked. His voice coating with sarcasm when prouncing babies addressing the little couple.

Y/n hid behind the arm of Jungkook who gulped being scared. "We were just watching stars." He mumbled.

"Stars?" The boys looked at the sky seeing the beautiful view. "That's nice. But what's nice is this little girl." They remarked.

Jungkook felt even more scared not knowing what to do while the little girl sobbed.

The boys didn't have the intention to hurt the boy or the girl. They were having a fun day being mischievous that when they came across the couple, they immediately wanted to have more fun making fun of them.

What no one knew is that this night would change their whole lives. Every life that is ever involved with it.

One boy out of the group came forward, closer and closer until he stood right in front of them.

"Give me the girl little guy, I wanna give her a piggy back ride." He mentioned.

Jungkook got scared and hid Y/n behind him even more not knowing that the boy in front just wanted to do exactly what he said.

"No. Go away from us." He said sternly being close to tears himself.

"Why are you so stubborn? I just want her to see the stars well." The boy exclaimed.

Only his friends knew how he loved sisters as he had lost his own sister, the one he loved the most to a disease that took her life away from him.

"No. She is my sister. Leave us alone." Jungkook set on protecting the girl, exclaimed loud which angered the older boy.

He grabbed Jungkook's hand and roughly pulled him up and away from Y/n who started crying louder.

But she wasn't loud enough to grab the attention of the older boy who is engrossed in the phone call consoling his friend.

"Don't touch her. She is mine!" Jungkook exclaimed now being in the hands of the other 2 boys that held him away from the crying girl and the taller boy.

Y/n started hitting the hands that's reaching out to hold her not giving into being weak anymore now that the protection she has from Jungkook is no longer there.

"N-no. Don't. P-pleazzzzse." She whined through her tears.

"Sis, I just want to carry you and lift you upto the sky so that you can see the stars well." The boy explained in a calm voice.

The girl and neither did the young boy understood the actual desire of the boy. Neither did the boy understood the fear the little couple now held in their heart.

As it was getting out of hand, the boy held her hands tight in his hold, stopping the girl from hitting him. He took both her wrists on one hand and held both her ankles on the other forcing the struggling girl to stay still.

"I won't hurt you." The boy mumbled with a smile.

But before he could lift, Jungkook finally lost his control started to growl deeply. Loud and hard as anger and fear both went throughout his body.

The little boy now appeared like a devil ready to hurt anyone that would hurt his precious angel.

He swatted his hands out of the grasp of the older boys, pushed them away from him before making his way to the boy who still held the girl. But the momentary distraction worked in Jungkook's favour as the guy was now more focused on him than the girl.

The little boy grabbed the hands of the older and started to squeeze them as hard as he could all the while hissing "Let go."

The older boy wasn't gonna give up either. He started to push the boy away from them. Finally succeding to push him successfully, he watched the boy fall down onto the ground. His little fisted curled tight with the anger thats radiating.

The boy wasn't in his right mind as his only aim is to save his girl. His mind was repeating the words spoken by his mother. "Protect Y/nie."

That is what he would do no matter what.

The food basket prepared by his mother was closer to his face. His hand reached in looking for an apple to throw at the older boy but what he caught made the boy change his mind.

His tiny fists held the knife as he got up and walked closer to the older boy.

With every resolve he had, every strength in his core, he pushed the older boy who fell on the ground. The girl is crying hard watching the scene that's unfolding in front of her eyes. Her tiny frame trembling with fear.

Jungkook made his way to the guy on the floor and sat on his body. Before sinking the knife deep into his chest.

No thoughts. No hesitation. Head empty. Just the anger ruling his mind.

Anger at someone else ruining his night that he planned so much to enjoy with Y/n. Anger at making Y/n cry. Anger at watching someone touch what is his. Anger at himself for not preventing this from happening.

He didn't know how many times he stabbed. But soon he was pulled away.

The widened eyes of Jungsoo watching the eyes of the little boy. The anger in his eyes was replaced now with fear. The knife fell from his hands, his legs gave out and fell down to the floor. Y/n was passed out on the bench with fear and with seeing blood.

Jungsoo quickly hugged the boy.

"I don't know what happened. But I will take care of it."

Jungkook was seated on the bench, his eyes staring at the floor. Tears streaming down his face.

The other boys now stayed crying at his friend's death.

Yes, the older boy died at the hands of the 8 year old.

Jungsoo called his friend who agreed to come immediately. He then gave the unconcsious Y/n to his friend who arrived shortly and made him hold the hand of the dazed little boy.

Jungsoo crouched down to reach the level of Jungkook who still looked lost. "I'm sorry for not coming sooner. I'm sorry for leaving you alone here. I won't let you get involved with this. I won't let you be at fault. Don't worry. Trust me. Okay?"

The boy nodded. Kissing Jungkook's head followed by a small peck on Y/n's head, Jungsoo straightened up and made them leave the place before he looked at the crying boys.

"What can I do about this?" He didn't know what else to ask.

The boys now angry at his lost friend, stood up and made their way to Jungsoo who stayed looking at the ground. One of them grabbed his elbow harshly.

"You will pay for what that brat did."

That was all he heard before a punch was thrown and he went unconscious.

Soon he was woken up forcefully by a splash of cold water.

In front of him stood a man clad in a finely tailored suit, sipping on a glass of wine. His intimidating gaze was upon the boy who now shivered. Jungsoo took in his surrounding that looked like he was at a basement. His legs and hands bounded to a chair by rope holding them in place, making him immobile. He was surrounded by a few men clad in black that all had the tattoes up on their arms.

"Hello boy." The man who might be the boss called out. His voice raspy and deep indicating his hard life he went through.

"W-who are you?" The boy asked. His voice smaller comparatively.

"Me? I'm the father of the boy you killed."

The boy remained silent. Neither did he try to correct the person or show his sympathy of having lost a son.

"Why did you kill him?" The man asked.

Jungsoo was confusing. Nothing about the man indicated that he is sad about the loss of his son. It made him worry.

"He tried to touch my sister." He answered. He said he will protect Jungkook. So he have to act like the person who commited the crime. "Will you hand me to the police?"

The man laughed. "Police? Nah why would I send such a valuable weapon to the police. You stabbed and killed a person with butter knife. Now that requires skill."

The boy was further confused. What is the skill about killing someone?

"What will you do to me?" He asked. His voice timid and bothered.

"Hmm let's see." The man started tapping his chin with one calloused finger appearing as if deep in thought. Although anyone watching him would know how he is just putting an act. The smirk at the corner of the lips gave it all away in an instant.

He already knew what he wanted to do.

"I will give you the training you need. I will give you food and a place to stay. You give me your skill." He suggested. "How about that?"

The boy tilted his head jn confusion. "What training?" He asked.

"To become my assassin." The man answered proudly.

The boy's eyes widened being scared and started to shake his head saying that he can't do it.

The man, the smile all gone now, came towards Jungsoo and grabbed his jaw in a harsh grip.

"You don't get to say no boy. You killed my son now you gotta fill his place." The man hissed through gritted teeth almost spitting on the boy's face.

He ordered his men to lock him in a room but the boy cried out. "No no! Please don't lock me. I will come wherever you ask me to come. Anywhere anytime. But please let me go home. I won't break my promise."

I gotta go home to my family. My Jungkookie, Y/nie and Markie. I can't leave them.

The man weighted his options and gave a nod.

The timid boy was instructed about where he needs to go and what he needs to do, the time and everything before he was left on the streets to find his way home.

Upon seeing his house, he couldn't help but let his tears out. Falling to the ground he cried his heart out. He couldn't comprehend how he got here. Things happened way to fast.

He didn't know how long he cried but once he calmed even a little bit down, he got the great desire to see his brother. He knew the little boy would be completely shaken up with the whole incident.

Going in and reaching their room, he saw the boy hugging his legs to his chest, crying silently at the corner of the room.

His head lifted up hearing the footsteps and seeing his brother, he burst out in a sob and hugged the older boy tightly.

"Don't worry Jungkookah. I took care of it. It's okay. Everything okay." The boy whispered.

But only the boy knew that he was not okay while he made sure that everyone else is.

~~~~~~~

Days flew by. Jungsoo was almost never home and skipped school. His good grades fell down to the lowest. His face grew thinner yet his body buffier. His skills on handling a knife was improving. His came home bruised and swollen almost everyday. His parents were worried seeing the change yet he stubbornly brushed off everyone's concerns.

The little couple was timid to hang out anywhere other than their homes. Their usual place at the bench was now covering with a bad memory that they both wish to ignore.

Jungsoo's first ever mission came around a month after the incident. He was to kill the bad guy.

But little did he knew that the bad guy was a friend of Y/n's father. So when Jungsoo did his first killing amidst all the shaking and fear, Y/n's father was watching.

The death of his friend done by the boy he considered as his son. He made a decision. To leave away from the family that might ruin his own.

That is how Y/n had to be separated from Jungkook.

Her father never thought the past would meet them again in the future. He never though that Y/n would find her Jungkook amidst the billions of people in the world.

How can she not when her soul is connected with his? But how was that connected, no one knew.

The night that changed the lives of everyone involved is the night that make the most loving brother become an assasin, a criminal.
