Taehyung's POV

I called out for her as she ran off sobbing to the window and jumped down, not daring to go after her.

It kills me seeing her like that. I began to wonder what she read. I picked up the diary from the carpet with dry vomit and skimmed through the pages, since I read most of them already.

I came across an unfamiliar portion, written in cursive. She was directing her writing towards Sinon.

I bottom lip quivered. I never met anyone so wise, yet so innocent. I lived with her for years, and I didn't even bothered to properly know her. I somehow felt the mourning turmoil Sinon's experiencing now. I gave an exasperating sigh, and kept the book in the inner pockets of my jacket.

I turned the knob and opened it halfway, when a raspy voice shouted and angry stomps were heard in the middle of the concourse, another person trying to appease her. I jumped in my position as my heart thumped faster in surprise and fear. I crouched down and lessened the gap in the door, only enough for my eyes to see.

"Bah! I'm never going to own this household until every single possible heir is killed!" An old voice shouted, making my eyes widened and chest tightened, attempting not to breath. Kill? What does she mean?

"What do you mean, miss Sara?" Another voice said in a much smoother voice, obviously younger than the other. The gap in the door was so small that all I saw was blurry figures quarrel. "Min is dead, what does the mayor want more?"

I felt my heart stop. They're talking about her death so casually.

"Apparently, Taeji's son is back. It's either he leaves or we'll result to execution."

They're talking about my father.......his son.......

Me...

"When?"

"I saw him with the brat Sinon. The girl who made all this possible. And possibly the one who'll do it again."

I was so burdened with fear and turmoil, that I didn't notice the gap between the door widened, now I can perfectly see the two.

Min's aunt. The other girl she's with is unfamiliar yet they're both on the same side, meaning they're planning to kill me.

"Let's just use the pills again. Maybe, it'll work?" The girl said with uncertainty.

Pills? Are they planning to delude myself into drinking the wrong pills?

Min's aunt took out a cigarette from her pocket and lit it up, placing it in her mouth. She pondered on the thought for a while, and nodded. "That could work. I mean that brat, Sinon, did obey me into thinking that was Min's medicine." She gave a malicious chuckle.

My hands that we're hanging on the knob were shaking. Sinon obeyed her? She's the reason why she's dead? Ugh!! That's why she died earlier than usual! Her aunt was poisoning her to death!

"Yes, and let's use that Sinon girl again." She smirked through her cigarette, my hand tightening around the knob, with eyebrows creased in pure anger. "That kid may not like me, but she's desperate enough to do anything for my bratty niece. Never thought she'd actually think it's medicine and feed her that in water three times a day!" She howled in laughter as she sprawled her arms across the armchair behind her, and laughed hysterically. "And as planned, she died within a month." She whispered cockily.

"Then we have to wait for Taehyung's chronic fever to occur, and since from your sources, Sinon may possibly have a soft spot for him and maybe use her pills that you gave her, well, if she still has it, and then he'll be gone by next year." The girl deadpanned.

I slowly backed away and ripped my eyes from the scene before me. She knows when my the second stage happens.

She knows that I have the disease.....

I fumbled for my phone and immediately scanned through my contacts for Sinon. I pressed my phone against my phone as it rang. My heart pounded in anticipation and finally I heard her voice.

"Hello?" She said in the other line as I let out a sigh of relief.

"Sinon, thank goodness-"

"V!? When did you get my number?" She asked angrily.

"No time to explain through the phone. Sinon, do as I say. This is crucial for both our lives."

"Are you on meds?"

"No!" I whispered. "I heard Min's aunt in here."

I heard her gasp, and finally stayed quiet.

"Listen, I need you to meet me at the swing set. Bring the pills you used for Min and make sure to to hide it and stay safe. I believe she's onto us. I'll explain there, I have to go now."

I heard her say an okay then I hung up. Both of them reached to a topic about the origin of her devious plan to kill Min.

I need her in jail. But first, I needed proof. I pressed record and held the phone through the thin gap as they conversed.

Suddenly, in the midst of my recording, a reminder popped out from my notifications, making a slight beep. I inwardly berated myself for not making it silent as they flinched their heads up.

"Did you here that?" The grandma said anxiously.

"Ma'am, this area has been compromised." She frantically informed, shoving the granny out the door and headed towards a glass box stuck to the wall. She smashed it using her hands seeing she had no choice and pulled the lever behind it, before typing in a code.

I cursed to myself as a spot in every meter of the ceiling opened and revealed an alarm. The siren echoed through the whole house as I fumbled to the open window in her room.

"Code red! I repeat code red! We have an intruder in this high facility household, all guards report to the third floor hall." I heard her say outside and before I got to the window, a metal wall slowly descended to cover it. I managed to squeeze through it, my shoe getting caught up in the compressed wall. I was dangling of 15 feet from the ground with my foot stuck on the window. I saw guards surround the ground beneath me with flashlights in hand, surveying the area.

My shoe loosened as I held on the the window sill, hanging. I saw the one in front, maybe the leader gave a thumbs up as they retreated to the front lawn. My fingers started to tremble and slip off, falling butt first into a shrub, crushing it with my butt. I massaged my aching buttocks and tiptoed to the front yard, eavesdropping the old woman's instructions to the guards.

"I need you to find this girl!" She held up a photo of someone I can't see since her back was facing me. "Her name is Sinon. Apparently, our plan did not go well, possibly one of our targets are lurking around the compound, and there's been a change of plans. We'll not be killing Taehyung by poisoning but by force. But first, inject this serum in this girl before me. She'll be dead by morning."

She held a syringe and raised it above her head as I if it were a key to their salvation. The dozen guards cheered and held their newly given guns.

My eyes were as wide as saucers. They're going to kill Sinon. I creased my eyebrows and climbed out of the fence and jumped down, spraining my ankle. But, that didn't matter. No pain will ever get in my way, especially when the life of love of my life is at stake.

Sinon's POV

I knew it!

Her aunt has something to do with this.

I ran with all my might to the woods, holding the pill bottle inside my pocket protectively.

I felt my feet wear out, slowing my pace and I ended up fast walking.

I felt a presence behind me, assuming it was Taehyung I whipped my head back. My demeanor stiffened once I saw a figure, not belonging to Taehyung, but two men in a cloak. They were leaning against the wall, the light barely hitting them as I saw two pairs of gleaming eyes burn through me.

I forgot all about my pain and decided to run. I heard footsteps getting closer and closer, my heart pounded with adrenaline as I hastened my pace. A vroom was heard behind me, a van decreasing its speed, the same pace I am and more men came out.

One of them held my arm as I sent a knee to its crotch. One by one they came after me, suffering the punishment of the inability of love making. More and more men came out of the bushes and kneeing them in the crotch is not enough. They manacled my hands and feet as I thrashed in their grip, headbutting them one by one. I wrenched a hand free and strikes one of them at the neck and the one holding me back was sent tumbling in front of me. I did the same thin over and over and more of them came, seemingly me being outnumbered.

Once their patience is tampered, they resorted to beating me up. One of them punched me in the face and kicked my in the stomach as I spat out blood.

I laid against the cold concrete floor, they lifted me up and held my limped head forward, coming face to face with a masked man, a smirk imprinted under his mask. I glowered at him before feeling a painful pinch in my neck.

I gasped in surprise, feeling myself go weak. My lungs felt like it was closed shut, enabling me to breathe as I choked for air. My whole body shuddered unconsciously by themselves.

A click from the the van was heard, foot steps gradually inching towards my shaking body and stopped.

"Ma'am she's having a seizure." One of them informed.

"Just as planned." She smirked and eyed me with malice.

Anger built inside me, hot blood coursing through my veins along with that serum they injected in me, which felt like acid in my veins.

".....Kim........Sar....a...." I managed to let a wheeze, my eyeballs rolling to the back of my head and eventually all was black.

"Our work here is done, boys."
