"Officer Kim." Hoseok stood up from his seat when Namjoon entered the police station.

"Mr. Jung, you are still here?" He asked him in surprise and looked at Haewon who sighed.

"I told him to go and have rest but he stayed here whole night and still doesn't want to go home."
He states as Namjoon patted Hoseok's shoulder.

"Mr. Jung, I promise we will save those girls. Please go back to your home and have some rest."

Hoseok shook his head and held Namjoon's hand with a grateful smile.

"I'm not tired Officer Kim. You all are working hard to look for the girls. Thank you so much."

Haewon eyed his senior who nodded his head with a wide smile wondering how can he be so good in lying and giving false hope to someone.

"Haewon, please come in my cabin."
Namjoon called him as he looked at Hoseok's figure going out of the station after Namjoon convinced him to go back home.

"Sir!"
He gave a salute to Namjoon who hummed and sat on his chair before turning on his computer.

"Are there any new cases?"

"No, sir. No new reports are filed."
Haewon answered before Namjoon dismissed him to leave his cabin.
He was about to walk out of the cabin but this one question was bothering him, so he just asked it anyways.

"Sir, what about that other guy who was looking for the girls as well?"

Namjoon looked up at him and smiled sweetly while folding his arms on his chest.

"I wonder since when you started asking questions from me, Hwang Haewon?"

He quickly lowered his head and bowed at Namjoon in apology before leaving his cabin as he sighed loudly.

"Its better not to mend in his business."
He whispered under his breath before walking back to his seat.

****

The door of the room opened revealing SeokJin who entered inside while removing his white coat and handed it to a nurse who quickly took them away leaving him with two other males in the office.

"You checked it properly?"

One man asked SeokJin who smiled and bobbed his head before slumping on his chair gazing at that man.

"Yeah. She is NOT clean."
As soon as these words escaped from his mouth, the man sighed in relief as all the worriedness washed over his head.

"Finally, we found one for yo-"
He turned around to look at other man standing near the window puffing out smoke.

"Jungkook."
He called out that man's name who slowly turned his head towards them and raised an eyebrow at the man.

"What?"
He muttered.

"What happened? Why you are sulking?" The man asked Jungkook who rolled his eyes and tossed the burned out cigarette in a small dustbin before sternly eyeing SeokJin.

"Kim, You sure you have checked her properly?"

"She is 100% NOT clean. I have checked her multiple times." SeokJin assured the male while turning around his chair to observe Jungkook's behavior in detail who huffed out loudly and clenched his fist as his muscles become stiff and tight.

"Jungkook, what is bothering you?"
The man asked in concern but Jungkook just shook his head and stormed out of the office.

"Let him be, Jimin. Not that he's going to open up."
SeokJin reminded the person who sighed and sat in front of him, picking up the glass of wine.

"I still can't believe we almost killed her yesterday." Jimin muttered before taking a sip of the red wine.

SeokJin leaned back on the chair and looked into Jimin's grey eyes with a smirk.

"Told you didn't I-
If it is destined then it is destined."

"But I am pretty sure she is going to bring so much trouble to you."
Jimin raised his eyebrows at SeokJin who was holding your photo in between his fingers.

"I know and I already hate this. She fucking attacked me and ruined the ritual all by herself."
The male hissed in anger while touching the back of his neck where a fresh cut was present.

"Well, atleast you found one. That's one good thing." SeokJin tried to make him feel positive with all the incidents that happened yesterday but Jimin just scoffed.

"Real thing hasn't even started yet, SeokJin. More has to come."

With that saying, he stood up from the chair after emptying his wine in a go and exited the office.

A mischievous smirk appeared on SeokJin's lips while gazing at your photo.

"I am looking forward to see more wonders from you, Y/n."

****

"No! Don't kill him, please!"

"Y/n run and save yourself!"

"I can't leave you!"

"Just fucking go!"

"No!"

"Yoongi!!"

You snapped opened your eyes and jolted up while breathing heavily with tears staining the corner of your blurry eyes.

Blinking your eyelids multiple times, you could finally get a glimpse of your surrounding making you confuse as hell.

You were laying on a small bed present at the corner of the simple yet expensive looking room. As you gazed above you, there was a fancy swirled light hanging from the royal blue coloured ceiling and right across your bed was a plain white couch with the covering of silk material.

What is this?
Weren't you supposed to be dead?

With the support of your arms, you lifted your upper body as a small groan of discomfort escaped from your lips. Your whole body was aching in pain but there was this particular spot on your spine which was hurting on another level.

You started to get worried after noticing your previous clothes were changed into a faded blue coloured full sleeved top and a pair of dark blue jeans.

You turned around to stand up from the bed but hissed and closed your eyes shut at the sudden current of pain on your back.

"You should not move around."

Hearing the familiar deep voice, your body stiffed as you slowly averted your eyes at the door making your heart jump out of the ribcage.

There was an unknown man leaning against the door with a small smile while eyeing your figure. You then noticed his hazel coloured eyes making you quickly look away when your heart started pounding loudly.

You could literally hear your own heartbeats right now.

Clutching the bedsheets when you heard him walking near you, you were slowly going short of breath.
His presence.
It was bothering you again just like before.
And you didn't liked this at all.

You gasped and quickly moved back as soon he touched your arm. You looked at him wide eyed just wondering why you were reacting like this towards him.

"Hey, calm down. I am not going to hurt you."

He was again going to touch your arm but you instantly moved back, groaning loudly when pain struck in your spine again.

"Okay. Okay. Don't move much. I'm sitting there, hm?"
He softly spoke while maintaining the same smile and walked towards the couch before sitting on it.

"Who are you?"
You straightaway asked the man who chuckled bringing shivers down your spine. You just shook your head and tried to calm your body.

"I'm Taehyung. Kim Taehyung."

You took few seconds to analyze his quiet figure trying your best to ignore his stare on you. He was wearing a simple formal attire with just a cream coloured shirt and a pair of brown pants. He had his sleeves rolled upto his forearm showing the prominent veins and the top two buttons of his shirt was opened revealing his fine collar bone. His black hair were kind of messy but styled nicely.

"Where am I?"
You questioned him and looked deep into his hazel eyes waiting for him to answer but he just remained silent.

"I am asking you something. That man was going to kill me but why am I alive?"

"Because you are NOT clean."
He muttered under his breath while looking down but you clearly heard him because of the pin drop silence.

"What do you mean?"
You narrowed your eyes unable to understand what he said. You waited for him to speak but he was still silent.

"Where is Lia? What you guys did with her?" He finally looked up when this time you asked him with a serious voice.

When he didn't answered your question but just gave you that look, your eyes widened in horror. You quickly jumped out of the bed and stormed towards him with your barefoot completely forgetting about your back pain.

"What you did to her?! Tell me!"
You managed to grab his collar in anger despite the height difference because you desperately wanted answers from him but he just remained silent until he spoke only two words.

"I'm sorry."

You blinked your eyes in disbelief and slowly left his collar stepping back from him. Even a little hope that you had for Lia in your heart shattered into peices as you abruptly fell down in utter shock.

"She can't die. S-She can't-"
You chocked on your tears which streamed down your cheeks as you broke down at the loss of your two precious humans.
You couldn't save her.
You couldn't save Yoongi.
They were gone from your life.

Taehyung sighed sadly seeing your miserable state. He walked towards your figure and bend down to caress your head.

But as soon as his hand touched your head, you snapped your eyes towards him and harshly pushed him back.

"Don't fucking touch me!"
You screamed and quickly stood up with fire in your eyes but he just stood there unfazed.

"Y/n, I know what you are feeling. I am really sorry for your loss-"

"You are sorry! Its you and your fucking gang who killed her!"
You glared at him with your clenched jaw when he just lowered his head and breathed out loudly.

"There is a reason why she is killed. Please, calm down-"

"Stop! Don't fucking come near me!" You backed away and picked up the vase behind you on the lamp table before pointing it towards him making his eyes wide.

"Y/n, put that down. You are doing nothing but causing yourself more trouble."
He calmly spoke trying to step towards you.

"Just fucking shut up!"
You yelled and without thinking twice threw the vase towards him before rushing towards the door as you quickly unlocked it and ran out of the room.

Taehyung just sighed and gazed at the vase that he easily caught before it would have smashed on his face.

"Y/n, don't do this."
He murmured while looking at the opened door and kept the vase back on the table.

****

You wiped the tears with the back of your hand and walked through the unfamiliar lighted hallway to escape from here.

The hallway was like a maze with so many turns around the corner making you confuse but you just kept following your guts.

You were trying so hard to not shed tears remembering about Lia and Yoongi's death. Your heart was clenching so badly with a knot forming in your throat that it was getting difficult for you to breathe properly.

You bit your lower lip and shook your head to remove their images from your messed up head.
'You have to stay strong, Y/n.'

Just when you turned to your right, a figure suddenly appeared in front of you making you bump into him before stumbling back at the hard impact.

You quickly looked up at the new face who was staring you back in confusion with his unrealistically grey eyes. Pushing him aside you were about to ran past by him, but he immediately grabbed your arm and yanked you back towards him.

"Where do you think you are going?"

His threatening voice made you halt at your attempts to remove his arm and look his figure more closely.

Your heart instantly dropped when the first thing you noticed was the fresh scar on his neck which was made by none other than you when you attacked that masked man who was mercilessly slicing the throats.

Realizing that he was that masked person, all the memories of the deaths of those innocent girls blinded your mind taking you in a state of shock and panick.

"L-leave! Let me go you monster!"
Fear took over your shaking body as you started pulling your arm from his grip with tears filling your eyes again.

Jimin rolled his eyes already getting frustrated from your useless attempts of escape.

Ignoring yells and pleadings to leave you, he started dragging you back to the way you came from while clenching his jaw when you started hitting his arm.

He halted on reaching the room to see Taehyung closing the door behind him and eyed both of you, mainly your struggling figure in Jimin's hold.

"Let me fucking go!"
You screamed at Jimin who groaned and slammed opened the door. He threw you on the bed before exiting the room and locked it from outside.

"I warned everyone not to open this damn fucking door and let her out."
His cold eyes pierced in Taehyung's blank eyes who just sighed and ignored the bangings on the door.

He walked past by Jimin who rubbed his head in distress and shortly followed him behind.

"Why did you let her out, Taehyung? I strictly told you-"

"Did Jin checked her?"
He abruptly asked Jimin who glared at him for interrupting in between but answered anyways.

"Yeah. We don't have to worry about any abnormalities. She is negative."

The two male walked down the hallway for few minutes before they stopped in front of a huge portrait of an old man fully covering the half part of wall.

Taehyung pressed a white button perfectly hidden in the coloured portrait before it split opened revealing a secret elevator. The two stepped inside as the door closed behind them.

"So what have you decided?"
Taehyung muttered and leaned back against the large mirror while sternly gazing at Jimin who was fixing his suit messed by you.

"We are going back."

****

Hoseok loosened his tie and sat on the couch before sighing loudly.
His eyes scanned the whole living area before they spotted the small picture frame of him and Lia standing on the small table beside the couch.

He carefully picked the frame as a small smile curved on his quivering lips while tracing his fingertips on Lia's face.

"Please come back to me, my little pumpkin. Your brother is really sorry for shouting at you."
A tear slipped from his reddened eyes and dropped on the photo frame.

He took a long breathe and hugged the photo tightly in his arms.

He imagined Lia in his arm in place of her photo who is smiling brightly with her eyes glowing in happiness.
He could hear her giggles when he tickled her in stomach as their small house filled with her sweet laughter.

~Ring

He snapped opened his eyes coming back to reality after hearing the bell. He gazed at the clock on the wall showing the evening time.

The bell again rang as he looked back at the door. He slowly smiled when a small hope arrived in his heart telling him that it's his sister.
His Lia.

He waited no time and rushed towards the door with a wide smile thinking that it is his sister but when he opened the door his smile instantly fell.

There was a young guy wearing a red cap while looking at the clipboard that he was holding.

"Jung Lia?"

Hoseok's eyes widened when he said her name and quickly nodded his head.

"Yes. Lia, she is my sister. But why-"

"There is a parcel on her name she ordered a week ago."
The boy picked up a carton box behind him and handed it to Hoseok with a wide smile.

"Here you go. Please, could you call her to sign here?" He politely asked him and pointed at the clipboard that he was holding.

Hoseok sighed and shook his head.

"She....she is not here."
Words hesitantly slipped from his tongue.

"Oh, it's fine. You can sign here."
He handed the pen as Hoseok signed on the paper and thanked the boy before entering inside closing the door behind him with the push of his elbow.

Putting down the box on the kitchen counter, he curiously opened the box with the help of a scissor.

Hoseok's eyes widened, couldn't handle the tight knot in his throat before breaking down badly into tears as he picked up the only item removing the bubble wrap from it.

There was a large photo frame in which Hoseok and Lia were hugging each other as the two sat on the grass surrounded by colorful flowers.
It was their childhood photo when Hoseok was around five and Lia was only two years old at that time.

His heart started aching so badly as more tears from his swollen eyes when he saw a small note stuck on the corner rod the frame saying-

~•_____________•~

'Happy birthday big brother!

Just wanted to thank you for everything you have done for me even though you are annoying and dumb. But I still love you to the moon and back.

I know you will still go out to work even on your birthday and get yourself tired, so that's why I would be preparing so many surprises for you.

You wait and watch how your amazing sister will cheer up your exhausted self.

~Your Little Pumpkin :)

~•_____________•~

Hoseok's leg trembled as he slowly kneeled down while pressing the photo frame to his chest choking onto his tears which weren't stopping at all.

His loud crying echoed in the empty house filling it with sadness and sorrow that once was filled with happiness and joy.

Tommorrow is Hoseok's birthday and Lia was planning to send this gift directly to his office and surprise him with the gift but sadly things didn't turned out in favor for her.

"I'm sorry pumpkin. I'm so fucking sorry. Please come back, come back to me safely."

****

You hugged yourself tightly while weakly gazing around your room filled with darkness and the only source of light was coming through the steel-grill window.

Long hours have passed by and you have tried everything to get out of this suffocating room but failed miserably.

And what more you could do, the only way out of this room is that damn door which doesn't seem to break down after pounding on it violently.

One could even think of escaping from window but only if your room was on the ground floor and not on top.

You once checked through the steel bars on window and could tell that you are in the same place seeing the familiar green forest.

Sighing loudly, you leaned your head against the headboard of bed feeling so lonely and miserable.
You were missing them.
Lia and Yoongi.

Just how all this happened?

You both came here to enjoy and spend time with each and remember your old childhood memories.

Who knew this joyful little trip would have turned your whole world upside down? Who knew it was the last time you would be seeing Lia and Yoongi?

Nothing is left for you in this world.
Literally nothing.
No reason for you to remain alive.
But you didn't wanted to let your two gems death in vain.

There is a reason why you are still alive even after almost touching your death.
You will still fight to survive.
To escape from these people.
For the sake of the two.

Your eyes moved towards the door after hearing footsteps approaching the room making you anxious.

Sitting straight when the door opened, you confusingly glanced at the figure of the man you remember from morning, Kim Taehyung.

You quickly got off from the bed and moved away from him with your heart going crazy again when he stepped inside the room.

"You didn't turn on the lights?"
He spoke while turning on the lights making you go blind at the sudden brightness for few seconds.

Just when you got back your vision, your breath hitched in surprise when Taehyung was standing right in front of you, towering your shaking figure.

"Calm down."
Your whole body flinched when he gently held your shoulders stopping you to tremble like a leaf.

You gulped hard and closed your eyes shut, turning your head to right not able to keep looking into his mysterious hazel eyes.

Why his presence is affecting you so much?
Just why?

"Are you scared of me?"
You slowly blinked opened your eyes after hearing his words and hesitantly turned to look at him.

Heck! Why does he have to look you so intensely with that strange emotion you can't tell?

Releasing a short breath, you shook your head not wanting to look like a weak and fragile girl in front of him.

"Good. You shouldn't be."
Your eyes widened and you quickly pressed your back on the wall when he took a step closer to the point you can feel his hot breath one your face as he bend his neck down.

You wanted to yell at him and push him back away from you, but your body was getting numb by each second. His figure was radiating so much mysterious yet a warm aura around your body. You were feeling both nervousness and calmness.

"Taehyung."

But the warmth feeling around your body immediately vanished when you looked at the man behind Taehyung, standing on the door.

You unknowingly grabbed Taehyung's arm as anger started to overtake your body. He is that same man who killed your Yoongi and was going to kill you aswell.

Taehyung first looked at your tight grip on his arm then at your eyes glaring behind his back.

He held your hand and turned around to find Jungkook standing near the door eyeing you two.

"Jungkook, why are y-"
Cutting off Taehyung in middle, Jungkook rolled his eyes and stepped inside making his way towards you.

"That fucking Jimin told me to bring her because she is my- She will cause trouble."

Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows when the other male stopped himself to continue his previous words.

"Bring me where?"

The two men turned to look at your small figure as you looked at Taehyung with a slight hint of panick.

Are they going to kill you now?

"To our damn place."
Jungkook mumbled in annoyance.

A loud yelp escaped from your mouth when you were suddenly lifted off from the floor by your waist and was put on the shoulder.

"What the fuck?! Put me down you motherfucking bastard!"

You screamed on top of the lungs while hitting Jungkook's back with your curled fist and tried to jump down from his shoulder.

But you almost got a heart attack when Jungkook pushed you back imbalancing your body as you were going to fall on the floor by your head but Taehyung held your shoulders in time.

"I swear if you opened your mouth again, I will throw you down from a twenty feet tall building."

Jungkook hissed in anger and started walking out of the room with you on his shoulder followed by Taehyung who was shaking his head, displeased by Jungkook's action.

You remained still while grabbing his shoulders tightly as he walked fast down the stairs after few turns in the hallway.

Where are they taking me?
What could they do to me other than killing me?
But if they wanted to kill me then why didn't this man named Jungkook killed me?

So many questions were arising in your head but you couldn't come to a conclusion.

Your eyes widened after seeing the familiar creepy dark hallway when these men kidnapped you before.

'Wait, I was locked in the same building but on a different floor?' You thought.

After few more walking, you lifted your head up when you felt the same cold breeze on your face. You were out of the old abandoned-looking building.

Turning your head around when Taehyung walked past by Jungkook, you gasped when you saw a black SUV car with two masked men holding guns.

You recognized the other man that Taehyung was talking to and assumed he was Jimin that Jungkook mentioned before.

'Heck no! They are gonna put you in that damn black car.'
Your brain screamed at you.

When Jungkook reached in front of the car and put you down off his shoulder, your body was ready to sprint away from them into the woods but Jungkook was quick enough to catch your movement and grabbed your arm before pushing you inside the car.

"No fucks! Not this time."
Jungkook warned you after sitting in the car along with you shutting the door close.

You ignored his glares and leaned near the other door to open it and run away, but Jungkook roughly grabbed your shoulders and yanked you back towards him.

"Let me go you fuck- Ugh!"
You loudly groaned in pain when he suddenly injected you with something on your neck still grabbing you down tightly.

You tried to move away from him but you felt your body slowly getting weak. Your vision was turning blurry and it was getting difficult to keep your eyes open.

The last thing you remember was Jungkook leaving your arm and getting out of the car before you finally blacked out.

~To Be Continued
