" Is that kid... me?

I saw him push the lit part of the candle in the man's eye, making me cover mine in reflex.

I mean c'mon dude, that looks painful.

The little version of me sprinted inside the kitchen with anger radiating on his face and body language. Surely he seemed pissed, I'm not certain about what though. As I followed him inside, I saw him grab a knife 'Yo! What the hell Taehyung, put it down.' I said in an attempt to calm the kid. He looked at me with eyes that screamed misery, few tears fell down his cheeks as he whispered 'They're not good'.

'What do you-'

He didn't let me continue as he pulled back his angry expression and dashed out of the kitchen, making me follow behind. We reached the living room but it was empty 'Eomma?' He cried, possibly calling for our mother.

A scream echoed throughout the house, and for a moment everything went black... I wasn't sure what was happening, but everything in me was hurting, my heart and my head. I felt my cheeks getting wet as the dark disappeared and another scene came in view, The little boy who was supposedly me was crying while clinging onto a body as he sat crisscross on the pool of blood.

The surroundings weren't unknown to my eyes, it was indeed the backyard of our house, the nearby wall, the freshly chopped grass and my old swing were there as well. But it felt so off, everything felt gloomy, my eyes were tearing up while staring at the dead body of my mother.

'H-hey Kid.' I tried not to stutter, but my cries didn't help 'P-p-please don't c-cry.' He looked up at me and whispered something that I wasn't able to make out, but he definitely was heartbroken... We were feeling the same pain, and it was surely not minor. As we stared into each others eyes, I realised how hurt-pitiful- and afraid he looked.

The terror in his eyes increased when two shadows hovered over him, making him rub both of his hands together, as he started muttering 'please'. I turned around to take a better look at the two people who were trying to frighten him, only to fall back as soon as I recognised one of them... 'Appa?' I covered myself with my arms, as he swung his stick in the air, but the blow never came. After building up a little amount of courage I opened my eyes and saw him hitting the little boy 'Appa sorry.. a-a-appa...' he cried hoarsely, as red marks appeared on his body.

'P-p-please, dont hit him.' I cried and begged, my body trembling at the same time. It isn't the most pleasant sight to look at, a father abusing his son... and it becomes worse when you feel the pain. 'Pleaseeeeeeeee' I held my knees to my chest, and sobbed 'Pleaseeeee'

The little boy eventually stopped crying, appa gave up on hitting him as well. He backed a little, making me crawl towards the little boy, as I hugged him. I felt my shirt soaking, both of us cried for what seemed like hours 'It's okay.' And just when I said it another man appeared.

The man with a burned left eye, I wasn't able to make out his face before, but now when I did it terrified me even more.

'He's all yours, Choi.' "

Third person p.o.v

"You know what to say Kang, your son is with us." Mino placed his head on the brick wall as he closed his eyes. His hands were hurting due to the handcuffs, and his head hurting due to the mental doctor sitting across him. He wasn't unhappy that his son was in safe hands, but was unhappy about the fact that he wasn't able to finish his work, killing his Boss's son. It still came in handy, he was going to talk against the one person his boss was obsessed with and was doing all this for.

He smirked "So I need to talk against Haejin?"

Jongsuk nodded and folded his arms above his chest.

"Do my son get education and a better lifestyle if I do so?"

"Yes." Said Jimin.

Why was Jimin asking Mino to talk against his brother? Well, he was trying to help his best friend, Taehyung.

Taehyung had walked in the police station with fake evidences,  saying that the person who was trying to kill Junghyun and Jungkook was none other than Haejin. Mino had been caught a week ago, and Haejin was dragged in the Jail a day ago.

Haejin had agreed on remaining in Jail and stating the wrong facts to help Taehyung.

According to Dr.Lee, the silver haired boy wouldn't budge even if the proofs of Haejin's innocence are showed in court. And his believe would only crash when the real culprit is caught red handed trying to kill either Junghyun or Jungkook. And that is how Jimin came up with his plan of making his brother look like the culprit to bring the real culprit out in public.

Mino's statement would definitely help them find the real culprit, but that wouldn't help Taehyung's case. And that is how they ended up inside Mino's cell, asking him to change his statement.

"I would do it."

Dr.Lee and Jimin smiled-

"But don't y'all think that this was a dumb move?"

"What do you mean?" Jimin frowned.

"Junghyun and Jungkook are receiving secret security, but what if boss doesn't go to kill them but someone else?"

"And your point is?"

"Boss is obsessed with your brother, why do you think Jihyun got attacked the other night?" He smirked as he eyed Jimin up and down.

"I know that, we found his love letters in my brothers locker. I don't know why hyung never placed a complaint against that psycho." Jimin rolled his eyes and zipped up his Jacket.

"Then you should be smart enough to know why he wanted to kill Junghyun."

"Because that Mr.X of yours wanted him to remove his name out of the Best Korean CEO nomination's, so that Haejin can win." Dr.lee said while raising an eyebrow still not understanding why the older was smirking.

And then it clicked.

He quickly stood up and threw a death glare at Mino, who raised his handcuffed hands playing innocent. Jimin remained confused, as he was dragged out of the police station.

Dr.Lee sat on the drivers seat of his car, jimin followed along placing his ass on the passengers seat, as they both buckled up and the older started the ignition.

"Why did we leave so suddenly?" Asked Jimin as the older sped the vehicle.

"Taehyung... Taehyung.... Haejin is in Jail because of Taehyung."

"Yes.. so?"

"His work ended 2 hours ago... he's probably home alone."  Jimin laughed making the older release a huff of air through his nostrils

"Even if he'd be alone, he'd think that he's surrounded with people.. like Jungkook, Kai an-"

"It's not funny Jimin." Jimin stopped laughing, noticing the seriousness in Jongsuk's tone "Taehyung is unprotected right now-" Jimin's eyes widened as things started making sense. Taehyung wasn't Mr.X's target, but Mino's, and the little security he was receiving was now gone since Mino was in Jail.

But now he was definitely in Mr.X's target list since Harjin was in Jail because of him.

"I.. I think I should call him." Said Jimin as he fiddled with his cellphone and dialled Taehyung's number.

Pick up

Pick up

Pick up

Someone picked up but the first thing Jimin heard was a very familiar scream echo from the other line.
