Never had I ever been so perplexed, bewildered and somewhat scared as in this moment. Rotating the mysterious vial in my hands, fear slowly started consuming my senses.

The coldest of surfaces sending shivers down my spine, beads of sweat rolling down the forehead at its fullest.

The mere moment of silence was actually more than enough to realise the hard poundings coming from within my chest, heart rate increasing with each passing second.

Involuntarily my eyes glanced towards my phone's main screen. Big numbers shining through the smooth surface.

9:39 pm.

It isn't that late, is it ?

The series of thoughts revolving inside the corners of my brain wasn't making the situation any better.

After witnessing the violence in the day, and to realise that its core proportion was due to my mistake, all I really wanted to do was bury myself in a grave and die.

But unfortunately, I wasn't skilled enough to even do gardening properly, let alone dig a crappy hole. I didn't really feel like hanging myself either so I decided to live life just this once.

I studied the vial properly in my hands again, trying to recall how was it lying inside my freaking pants.

Think. Think.

THOUGHT!

A few days back. First day of work.

The dagger is for Mr. Jeon Jungkook. The scarab is for Mr. Kim Taehyung. The glass vial is for Mr. Park himself."

Present

Bitch I fucked up big time.

As soon I remembered those few words, things started becoming more crystallising clear in my memory. The day when those two guests came.

That rude ass hot bitch and that creepy Kook guy. Due to the weird happenings, the third gift totally slipped my mind.

The vial was supposed to be with Mr. Park, but now here it is, dangling freely in my hands.

I surely was about to get fired now.

Nails got bitten to an extent that blood threatened to come out. I was truly petrified and shaken from within as my mind was unable process my next moves.

Go to give him the vial right now?  I wouldn't mind enjoying myself as an employed person for a few more hours.

But that smoker man, he looked scary enough whilst breathing alone. What could he really do if his wishes weren't fulfilled, I couldn't bring myself to imagine that just yet.

My soul felt really unstable as I was on the verge of passing out. Stomach doing flip-flops as the fear of losing my job threatened to become true.

A few bangs on the door couldn't be more to scare the shit of my almost dead soul. I sprang and ran up to the entrance, hands never leaving the vial out of sight.

I slowly rotated the cold steel doorknob leading the door to slowly creak open. A very tired but hurt Jin came into sight as I observed the many bruises highlighted his face.

"Ji-Jin ?" Words staggeringly came out as I took in the complete features of his face. Blood spewing through his cut lower lip as blue-reddish marks tinted his cheekbones.

Forehead sweaty, limbs limping as he walked through in. Body slowly landing on the couch, not a single word spoken since.

Tears brimmed my eyes as I saw his broken state. The trousers he wore were ripped as blood stained his knee caps. He held his chest tightly as in attempts to reduce the pain but in vain.

"I'll just-" I quickly ran to take a first aid out of the drawer in my room. It was physically painful to see how badly he was hurt.

And its reason being unknown was terrifying to the most. He had been acting strange recently but I couldn't ever have imagined for things to get this escalated.

Back up to him, I put the vial aside as Jin's head rolled back to the headrest for support. Eyelids being heavy, small droplets of salty liquid poured through his closed orbits staining the blood alongside his cheeks.

I dabbed a piece of cotton with antiseptic as trembling hands attempted to clean the area dripping with fresh stains of blood.

"Who did-What happened ?!" I almost curiously and cautiously whisper-shouted as words got crammed inside the throat alone.

His eyes shot open suddenly taking in the now dripping tears on my face. He slowly raised his hands before wiping the colourless water from my cheeks.

Eyes casting an expression of love even in this state was something which caught me off guard. I gulped slowly before continuing to clean his wounds.

Almost as fast his hands shook away as he glanced something lying on the table. "Why is that vial here ?!" The words almost left at a furious pace as he saw the vial.

"You know about it too ?" I feebly made attempts as absolute terror consumed the aura. Does this thingy has some sort of nuclear reaction formula or something ?

"Why isn't it with Jimin ?!" Words filled with rage flew out his mouth as his hurt figure stood up outrageously. His sudden reaction taking me aback, I stumbled a few steps.

"I-I forgot to gave him and then he got beaten up by some short wierd psycho and now I know it was my fault!" I quickly shouted back as letters lost its ability to form proper words. Breathing at an uneven pace, my lungs struggled for air in the highly tensed atmosphere.

"And now I got beaten up because of you."

"W-what ? You are involved in this crap that too with my CEO ?" I asked him again after he completed examining the thing properly in his hands. Pain must be shooting in all directions through his body but the sight of this vial was enough to put a stop to it.

"I'll explain everything later. Just go and give it to him." His eyes looked confused and amused as those orbits met mine. I quickly gathered around to grab my coat in one hand and the vial in the other.

I waited for one nod of confirmation right before I dashed out.

As I ran down, I still feared the thought of getting fired but what feared me the most was the reaction on the man's face when I handed this to him.
