You faintly felt something.

But your brain couldn't make out what was it as you were still sleeping soundless on the large bed, all alone.
Maybe it was nothing.

Again.

The touch woke your brain instantly but you didn't opened your eyes. You don't know why but there was a slight fear in your head, scared of who or what is is touching you.
No, you not feared ghost or anything.
You feared them.

It happened once more.
And you quickly understood that someone was poking your side cheek with something.

'Shit, is that a knife or something? Are they punishing me because I didn't slept with my so-called husband?'
You thought.

This time you decided to slowly open your eyes ignoring your brain that was telling you not to as it made you think so many worse scenarios.

Is it Mother standing with a knife to give you another punishment or is it Jungkook with any weapon to hurt you as you remembered the back mood he was in the morning? Maybe something more worse than these two that you could not ever imagine?

'Fuck it.'

You snapped opened your eyes and almost yelled in surprise but before your voice could come out first, you quickly pushed yourself up and pinned your back on the headboard of the bed gaping at the figure beside you with wide eyes.

'The heck is this?
Am I fucking hallucinating?'

Why there is a freaking kid in your room staring you down like you are some kind of extraterrestrial being from another planet ready to eat him alive or something?

"Who are you and why are you in my playroom?"
That kid spoke with a slight hint of fear but mainly in confusion as he tilted his head and looked at your shocked figure with wide grey ey-

Wait.
Grey Eyes.
Another pair of Grey freaking eyes.

Gulping down the saliva, you slightly shifted in your place in hesitance and peered at the unfamiliar face with familiar eyes.
And now you think you have an idea to whom this kid belongs to.

"Junwoo!"

Your eyes shifted to Yuna who just now entered inside your room through the door which was already wide opened before.

"I told you not to enter this room, right?" Yuna softly spoke as she walked towards the named kid and picked him up in her arms who pointed his finger at you making you think that it was him who was poking your cheek with his finger.

"Who is this human, Aunt Yuna? Why is she in my playroom?"

'Playroom? Isn't this Jungkook's bedroom?'

You thought confusingly and eyed Yuna who apologetically smiled at you.
"Sorry if he woke you up."

You shook your head and smiled a little before looking back at Junwoo who was still staring you in curiosity.

"I will bring dinner to your room within an hour after making him eat his food." She said as you nodded your head and watched her walking back towrads the door and exiting your room as she talked with Junwoo in a low voice before closing shut your room.

You breathed out and looked at the digital clock placed on one of the side tables that were standing beside the bed. It was almost nine.

You were surprised by the long hours of sleep you had as you remember having your lunch on the bed itself around one o'clock and then slept after Yuna applied ointment on your neck and left palm.

Since then you are sleeping and maybe you would have continued sleeping if that kid wouldn't have woke you up. This was clear that you were so worned up by all the things that happened within these few days.

Literally, a lot have happened.

Sighing loudly, you decided to freshen up and pushed yourself out of the bed before making your way inside the bathroom.

****

"Thanks."
You muttered after finishing the glass of water as Yuna smiled and kept the glass on the tray where empty bowls were kept.

"It's fine. I just want you to recover as fast as possible." You just hummed at her words.

You didn't knew what more to say or would it be fine to even talk out your thoughts or feelings to her. That's for sure you do not trust her with showing your feelings and telling things to her, you have understood this by the events that occurred in these days.

Whatever you will do, she will inform Mother.

"What are you thinking so hard?" Yuna noticed your hard stare thrown towards herself. You quickly shook your head and smiled at little.

"Nothing."

"Um, is that kid....Jimin's son?" You abruptly asked when she was about to pick up the tray, ready to leave your room.

"Oh, Junwoo. Yeah, he is."
Yuna instantly smiled widely and chuckled while shaking her head side by side.

"I'm sorry again if he woke you up. Actually, Junwoo likes to play in Jungkook's room all the time even he has his own playroom. And I did told him not to come here but he still did and was surprised to see you on the bed."

"I...I did not see him in the past days. How he suddenly....?"
You trailed off.

You were really confused about the kid. Since the day you were brought here, you never saw a kid or even heard about Junwoo from anyone.

"We send him to Seok- Um, to another place when you arrived. And now that you are finally a member of our family and completely the Binding Ritual with Jungkook, Jimin brought him back today in the afternoon."
She finished.

This makes sense why he suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"What about his mo-"
Your words were interrupted with the sound of door being opened by none other than Jungkook who raised his eyebrow at Yuna.

"You didn't go?" He sternly asked.

You noticed how Yuna shivered when Jungkook's voice reached her ear as she quickly picked up the tray and without giving a single glance towards your way, she bowed to him in apology and walked past by him leaving you all alone with this man who rolled his eyes and closed shut the door.

You snapped your head to other side of the room when his dark eyes fell upon you. There was a pin drop silence in the room that was making you so freaking nervous and anxious.
His aura was something that you could not stand off at all.

After few more seconds you heard shufflings beside you and a sound of door opening. Side eyeing towards the closet, you saw him rummaging through his still piled up clothes and taking out a pair of grey trouser and a plain black shirt.

He then proceeded to enter the bathroom after closing the door of the closet.

You released the long breath that you didn't realized you were holding the moment he closed the door shut after Yuna left.

Knowing he would be sleeping now, you removed the duvet off your body and lifted your legs before putting them down on the cold floor. With the support of the headboard of the bed, you stood up and walked towards the couch resting across the bed.

You sat down and eyed your foot that has slowly started to heal. It does hurt like shit but it is bearable and thanks to Yuna for taking care of your wound.
Talking about your left palm, it will take time to heal unlike your foot because Mother has made a very deep cut and it instantly starts bleeding if you try to move your hand too much. About your neck, you don't even want to think about it.

Pursuing your lips together, you laid down and looked up at the ceiling above you wondering back to the new kid, Junwoo.

"Jimin's son, huh." You muttered.

"He looked like a three or four year kid but he was able to speak clearly and in long sentences. Maybe he is five or six but looks younger than his age?"

Humming to yourself more thoughts occupied your running brain as you didn't heard the door of the bathroom opened by Jungkook who came out wearing his new clothes.

Ruffling his wet hair, he made his way towards the large bed and sat on the edge before he stretched his neck from one side to other, hearing the crack sound once a time.

"Tomorrow downstairs."

The sudden husky and deep throat voice startled you making you snap your head towards Jungkook but immediately regret when you found him already staring straight into your poor soul.

"Breakfast downstairs. Mother wants you."

Saying this he finally averted his eyes and held the duvet before laying down under it. Placing his right arm under his head and other on his chest, he released out a quick breath before closing his eyes as silence filled the darkroom.

Battling your eyelids, you chewed down your bottom lip and closed your eyes not having a good feeling about tomorrow after hearing him. You couldn't help but feel restless about Mother.

'She really wants me to have food with them or does she have any other things to do with me?'

****

Yuna sighed in tiredness after washing all the utensils and cleaning the kitchen and finally entered her room only to find Taehyung sitting on the chair while working in his laptop that was placed on the table at the corner of room.

"You didn't slept yet?"
She muttered in worriedness as she eyed the clock on the wall striking past twelve o'clock.

"Hm."

Giving a short reply he focused back on his work as Yuna nodded her head and looked around at the untidy condition of their bedroom. Taehyung's paperwork was occupying all the space on their king-sized bed and the small square couch beside it

"Seems like a lot of work you got back in company." Yuna said and decided to collect the files and other papers keeping them all together on Taehyung's table who again hummed still engrossed deeply in his work.

"That blue and black file, keep them separate from others. I have to take them tomorrow."

Taehyung told Yuna who eyed the two files placed on the bed from which the black one caught her attention.

"Sweet Sunshine Pet Clinic?"

Taehyung snapped his head up to find Yuna going through the file making him instantly stood up from his chair startling Yuna who finally noticed his glaring eyes.

He stormed toward her and snatched the file out of her hand before grabbing her arm harshly gritting his teeth in anger.

"Did I told you to look what is inside the file?" Yuna groaned at the tightly grip on her arm as her heart started thumping loudly in nervousness and fear.

"T-Taehyung, you are h-hurting me-"

"Aunt Yuna?"

Taehyung immediately left Yuna's arm after the door was suddenly opened revealing Junwoo who was rubbing his eyes with a pillow in his hand.

"O-oh Junwoo, what happened dear? Why are you awake?" Yuna tightly smiled and walked past by her husband who sighed loudly while shaking his head.

"I saw it again. Can I sleep with you?" The two adults looked at each other comprehending the kid's words until Taehyung nodded his head at Yuna and went back to his work trying to forget what happened just a few seconds ago.

"Yeah. Come inside." Hearing her, Junwoo smiled and held her hand as she accompanied him to the bed before laying him down on the bed and covered him with the duvet.

"Uncle, am I disturbing you?" Junwoo lifted his head to look at the man who smiled and shook his head.

"No, no. Go ahead and sleep tight."

"Thank you, uncle!" A cheerful smiled slipped on Junwoo's lips making Yuna chuckle as she caressed his head and sat beside him on the edge of bed.

"Now close your eyes and try to focus on sleeping. It's already too late."
Yuna instructed as Junwoo hummed and closed his eyelids. Yuna's hand patted his chest gently while humming a lullaby song, softly in a little voice.

Taehyung's fingers stopped in midway from typing the text as he silently looked towards the bed and particularly at Yuna who was having a faint smile as she eyed Junwoo with so much love and care. Her eyes were sparkling.

This sight made him sigh as he looked back on his screen and then averted his eyes towards the black file making him clench his jaw when anger again builded inside him.

He abruptly stood up gaining Yuna's attention as she looked her husband picking up the black file from the table and making his way out of the room quietly without making much noise. Tightening her lips, she breathed out heavily and focused back on the kid who has seemed to have already gone into his dreamland.

****

Taehyung didn't waited any second and bursted open the door, darting straight towards the man who was standing in his small balcony with a glass of wine in his hand.

"You seriously need to learn how to knock before entering my room."
Jimin chuckled in irritation and sipped the left drink in a go before turning around to look at Taehyung who rolled his eyes.

"Was it fucking necessary?"

Jimin's eyes slightly widened in surprise after hearing his brother cursing with shade of anger burning in his hazel eyes.

This was so unusual of Taehyung.

"What do you mean?"
The older asked not understanding the reason behind Taehyung's anger until he threw the black file on the small table and glared back at him.

"This."

Raising an eyebrow in confusion, Jimin stepped inside his room and placed the empty glass on the small bar table attached to the wall before picking up the familar file.

"What is the problem in this? Nothing is at loss. It's benefiting us only."
Jimin shrugged his shoulders.

"But this is wrong!"

"And since when did you started thinking about what is wrong or right, Mr. Kim Taehyung?"
The elder squinted his grey eyes leaning a step close to Taehyung who curled his palm into tight fist.

"Y/n is not dead, Jimin. She is the fucking owner of that clinic and you can't just sell the clinic without even informing her!!"

Taehyung's deep yelling voice echoed in Jimin's room whose last string of patience broke loose the moment the younger in front of him raised his voice disrespecting the rules in this house.
'Do Not Raise Your Voice At Elders.'

"You motherfuc-"

"It was mandatory, Taehyung."

The two males looked to their right when another voice beamed that interrupted Jimin's who was almost about to curse at Taehyung.

Jungkook closed the door behind him and leaned against the wall as he folded his hand and eyed his two elder brothers with a blank face.

"It's not only for money that we got from selling the clinic but also for our safety precautions."
He further said.

"What precautions?"
Taehyung now fully turned his body towards Jungkook who sighed and looked at black file lying on the table that he himself bought in the afternoon.

"I got a call from Seoul today morning. Namjoon told me about this one guy who is elder brother of the girl that was with Y/n. He is desperately looking for her and everyday comes at police station to ask about her and Y/n."

"What? She has a brother?" Taehyung muttered in surprise while Jimin just huffed out in frustration as he strolled towards the bar table pouring another drink for himself.

"Since the day when we were supposed to sacrifice those girls, he has been pestering Namjoon to look for them. Somehow he has managed to make him quiet but that man isn't listening anymore."

"So, we decided to wait for some more time and if he goes deep into searching just like that stupid vet guy, then we'll tell Namjoon to kill him." Jimin announced and sat on his bed looking at Taehyung who nodded his head.

"But, what does this have to do with selling her clinic?" He asked again.

"Just like what we did with Yuna, we are doing same with Y/n. What's the problem in that?"
Jimin replied instead of Jungkook that did nothing but only angered Taehyung.

"We took her permission to remove all the traces of her existence in this world. That's what the tradition says."
He sternly reminded Jimin.

"It was the manipulation that made her agree. Not herself."
Taehyung's eyes twitched as he slowly turned his head to look at Jungkook who was chuckling lowly.

"And if you forgot, husband has all the rights on her woman. Since you never really cared about Yuna, Mother made her agree for that but I -"
Jungkook abruptly stopped as he stared down at the scar on his palm.

"She is quite smart and won't get manipulated or some stupid thing like that. So, I had to take the decision myself as her husband to remove her existence from the world."

Taehyung couldn't help himself but suppress his anger and annoyance as much as possible before he lose his control and give a tight punch on the younger's face who just insulted him on his face.

"So, you do accept yourself as her husband?"
Jimin smirked with wickedness glinting in his eyes.

"You are drunk." Jungkook simply stated observing his slightly redden eyes clearly stating the six glass of wine he had before has finally started kicking his system.

"Why didn't you had sex with your so-called wife, hm? I'm sure you are very well aware of the rule to get physical with your wife that same night when you married her."

Jimin chuckled enjoying the younger's face who was finally showing some emotion. He was clearly angry at the statements that Jimin was speaking.

"Should I make you aware of your night with Ha-"

"Jungkook." Taehyung dark voice echoed in the room as he interrupted the youngest, boring holes in his body with his furious eyes.

"We promised not to bring that up again. Past is past."
Taehyung slightly mentioned their years back talk that happened in this same room.

"I'll fucking kill you with my bare hands if you tried to say anything about..... "

"What did you do with those two?"
Taehyung quickly said trying to change the topic after Jimin trailed off at last while clutching the wine glass tightly.

"Killed them. Simple."
Jungkook averted his eyes towards his other brother.

"You sure you disposed their bodies properly?" Taehyung wondered to which Jungkook shrugged his shoulders.

"Yeah. About that girl, I sliced her throat and threw in that fountain just like other girls to atleast complete the scarifice ritual which was supposed to be done by him. And that pale maggot...just cut opened him and removed his organs for selling before burning his remaining body."

He finished with a maniac smirk that Taehyung and Jimin noticed but they weren't really surprised by this.

They knew this man was far from a sane human.

And this wasn't any new to them. Since years they have heard similar gory things from his mouth of how he killed the ones he is assigned to.

Just like how Taehyung looks after the buisness things, Jungkook looks after all the mess and blood that happens. He handles the illegal trafficking of organs with the help of SeokJin.

"The only people who knew Y/n was her friend and that maggot which I already took care off. And that guy, we'll soon do something about him."

"The apartment in which the two lived will be rented out to someone else and Namjoon will handle their belongings and stuffs. Her clinic would be sold out tomorrow and then we'll be free from the eyes of police and shits." Jungkook finally finished.

"Honestly, if she found out about her clinic...I wonder what she will do?"
Taehyung murmured under his breath but due to the heavy silence lingering in the enormous room, other two clearly heard him.

"Why do you even care, Taehyung?"
Jungkook said with a raised eyebrow.

"Instead of thinking about my wife, you should be focusing on your wife first. She has been getting too much privilege to talk freely." He further spoke.

Jimin even though in his drunken state could clearly feel the unknown tension rising between Jungkook and Taehyung making him confuse.
Has he missed something or is he thinking too much?

"Good Night."
Taehyung rolled his eyes as he picked up the file and made his way out of the room leaving Jungkook who scoffed and gave a last glance at Jimin before leaving too.
