☆57. Money, Murder Or Melody☆
Jihyun ran inside his family's mansion, sobbing hard until he bumped into his older brother Jongyul at their garden bridge over the pond.
"What's wrong with you?" Jongyul tsked until he noticed Jihyun's face all filled with tears and the latter just hugged his brother close, making Jongyul to be concern at the situation once Jihyun began crying hard and was too stressed out to think of what lie he should tell his brother, that he passed out right then and there. Making Jongyul to grab him abruptly before he could hit the ground. "Jihyun?! Jihyun! What happened?!" Jongyul patted Jihyun's face but he happened to be completely unconscious.
"Mom?! Dad?!" Jongyul yelled towards the mansion while grabbing Jihyun firmly.

Jimin was just walking ahead in the Wacko, looking so done as he stepped up on the club's staircase until the guard on the entrance paused his way. "What now?"
"Boss had ordered to bring you in to him whenever you show up" The man mentioned and Jimin just gulped, looking around as the guard lead him the way to the manager's room.
The door of the room got opened for Jimin by the guard and the room got silent, there were five men in the office room in total, all dressed in black suits while the only white suit was worn by that man on manager's chair, who wasn't Jimin's manager-nim, he was hald bald, rather pale, not that skinny but a little overweight and Jimin just looked at him. He was the 'Boss Kosan'.
He didn't even look at his manager filling up wine on couches with a man while Mike was stuffed on a wheelchair beside them. Jimin avoided eye contact with Mike's only eye that was displayed and glaring at Jimin while his whole face was wrapped in bandages along with his one leg.
"Who is this?" The man in white suit asked while pointing Jimin out.
"Boss, he is the Jimin you were dying to see" Manager announced while looking towards Kosan.
"Oh really?!" Kosan smiled while standing up from his seat abruptly as he chose to walk up to Jimin instead of calling him closer. "For real, let me look at you, he is all grown up in a few years" He happily mentioned while grabbing Jimin's face with both of his hands fondly. "I was really dying to see you" Kosan added as he fixed Jimin's hair with a smile until his expressions changed and he slapped Jimin hard across his face.
Jimin whimpered while covering his cheek as he fell down on the floor harshly. "Where is my Hoseok?! Didn't I tell you to take care of him?! You both were like glue and now, you are here and he isn't! I want my sunshine back! What were you doing when he disappeared?!"
"It isn't his fault" Manager stated casually while lighting up his cigarette. "But paying a zero won to club since two years is" Manager snickered and Jimin just slowly stood up from the floor while rolling his eyes.
"He is lying, I did pay but he won't count it since I saw his men beating Mike till death just because of a merry jealousy, Mike was about to be the new manager" Jimin stated and Kosan looked at him with a frown.
"What the fuck?! This bitch is lying?! I'm going to break your bones!" Manager stood up to reach Jimin to hit him but didn't soon when he stumbled on the 'unbroken' leg of Mike who stowed it on purpose. Mike's purpose was to protect Jimin but Kosan took it as a 'yes' to all of Jimin's lies.
"Just like you did break Mike's?" Jimin scoffed while crossing his arms over his chest. Swiftly, protecting Jungkook off the sin.
"You cunning liar! I didn't do anything! He is lying! I didn't hit Mike! Why would I?! Tell him!" Manager looked at Mike who was unable to speak so, he just looked at him.
"You all are giving me headache. Stop barking!" Kosan yelled at the manager. "Get the fuck out! I will deal with you later! And take this dead mummy with you as well" Kosan pointed at Mike on the wheelchair and manager just bowed to leave, glaring at Jimin while a random man carried Mike outside.
"Not you" Kosan interrupted Jimin's walk to the outside while blocking the door and Jimin just gulped.
"I did tell you who did that to Mike so... am I not forgiven yet?" Jimin forced to smile and Kosan just crossed his arms over his chest.
"Well... okay. I have some money but I spent them, I will return them in a few days, please?" Jimin hesitantly started as Kosan tucked Jimin's hair behind his ear and then carressed Jimin's lips with his thumb.
"And I don't know about Hoseok Hyung..." Jimin sort of felt disgusted being touch by somebody else as when Kosan leaned in to kiss Jimin's lips, Jimin turned his face away. He was never bothered by getting touched or kissed.
"It's been two years. What do you want me to do? You know giving birth to a child increase expenses on the club which could be fulfilled only by the child itself, but you gave birth to an ugly eye less baby. I only let her live with you because she was useless for me. I didn't want to scare the customers away by looking at those white eyes like of a ghost. But, as you have grown up this charmingly gorgeous, maybe she... would have too. Maybe the eyes can be acceptable now" Kosan shrugged while turning Jimin's face back to him.
"Don't come at my daughter, Kosan. I will return the money" Jimin whispered with gritted teeth, hyper all of the sudden.
"I don't want money anymore, Jimin. I didn't let anybody know about her since I wasn't planning to take her to the orphanage, she must have been a waste of money but you didn't leave any other option. Either you have to give your daughter to me so, that she learn to work to satisfy pedophiles in the orphanage until she grows up to stand on the street like a nice hooker or you can return the two years debt or you can do a little thing for me. Either it is 1st, 2nd or 3rd, Jimin"
"Try to touch my daughter and I swear..." Jimin was threatening and Kosan raised his eyebrow, making Jimin to try calming himself down and swallow his rage. "The list manager-nim has for two years debt is a lot. I can't earn in this life enough to return all of that money. I will go with the 3rd option" Jimin started when Kosan paced away towards his desk and took out a knife from the drawer with a smile.
"Do you remember this, Jimin?" Kosan asked sinking into the chair, dragging the knife away on the table towards Jimin who looked down at it. Making Jimin to squeeze close his eyes and look away. "It still has the residue of Seo-Jun's blood. " Kosan chuckled and Jimin just gulped.
"I want to change the option..." Jimin abruptly decided.
"I can still remember how enthusiastic you were while stabbing that policeman to death, do you know how old you were back then? Probably only twelve. But it was the rage of revenge inside you. I saw that fire in you" Kosan whispered as if it was a secret.
"You made me do it... you feed that all bullshit in my head. I was just a child! You manipulated my pain and encouraged me to become a murderer"
"Fine, I did that all but, I didn't kill him. It was you. This knife looks so beautiful in your hands. Just like you did that once. I want you to do it again. Just a random kill for me, nothing much" Kosan assured and Jimin sighed while looking away.
"I want to change the option"
"Now the 1st option will be the same but the 2nd... I know you can't return all of that debt in once so, we have to inject you for that. The 2nd option is modified now, honey. So, I believe, your choice will be the 3rd one no matter what" Kosan faked a pout.
"I can't do that. I won't do that! Why don't you send someone else?" Jimin complained.
"Don't worry, I won't let you be in jail for more than a day, you are my responsibility but the way you get away with things by using your charm. I want that to get into that hotel 'he' is going to stay in for an event next week. My people will swiftly let you be out after it but no one else can do it. I was thinking about Hoseok but you know he is really precious to me, I can't let him be there" Kosan tried to make Jimin understand.
"Who he?"
"Do you know Park Korain?" Kosan whispered.
"Seems like your brother by name but No. I don't"
"Can't believe you don't know the Mayor of the city" Kosan sighed out.
"I don't even know who is the president so, come to the point"
"As I'm here, I'm trying to finish all the work here. The biggest issue of mine is the Mayor Korain, he had been making the police raid our places, arresting our men and seizing the hookers, he had cleared the southern part completely. And don't know where all of my children went? That's a shame on my reputation. Thanks to our policemen here, they aren't sending report ahead because of me but this mayor isn't calming down with money either. I tried to make a deal but he didn't get it. He is making sure no slut of mine works" Kosan explained.
"That's your problem, not mine. I can't see blood anymore... I won't be able to do that" Jimin stated while swiftly turning around to leave.
"Trust me, Jimin. The blood will be better to watch than to watch your daughter satisfying men" Kosan shrugged with a snicker and Jimin just paused as he turned to look at him.
"2nd option. If I will return the money all at once, you won't inject me, right?"
"And how you will do that?" Kosan mockingly snickered. "Trust me, honey. It's the 3rd option for you"
"We will see" Jimin noted.
"Only a week to see" Kosan added and Jimin just closed his eyes for a second before assuringly nodding.

"Get the fuck out!" Jimin's step father yelled at him being drunk, throwing a glass bottle at Jimin who dodge it. Making the bottle to shattered on the floor.
"Please! I will pay you for that. You just have to go inside with me and kill that man. You once said that for a million won you can kill anyone" Jimin begged and his step father just sank into his bed with another bottle of alcohol.
"You son of a bitch, wants me to attack the Mayor of the city?! Do you want me to get killed at such young age?! Fuck off. I'm on vacations anyways" He yelled. "Ask your mad headed boyfriend to do it for you, he is already always too ready to kill people"
"Not a word for him. You have been on vacations for several years. Just don't let mom know about it and let's do it" Jimin tried to cheer him up with a wide smile being on his knees beside his bed.
"Your mom... you mean that old wench...?" His step father laughed while pointing towards the door behind Jimin and Jimin froze, slowly turning to saw his mother leaned on the house's now open door in her chicken costume.
"What to not let me know?" Jimin's mother asked while crossing his arms over his chest and Jimin just gulped.

Jungkook was just expressionlessly staring at the ocean beneath the moon infront of him, the rushing waves were the only thing making peaceful sound at that time of the night.
He was sitting over the sand in his black suit's pants and white dress shirt while Daejung was standing from a far with Jungkook's coat draped in his arm, two more bodyguards around Jungkook's car along with Daejung waiting for Jungkook's realization that he was blankly staring at the sea for three hours straight but Jungkook didn't seem to be bothered.
"Had heard so much from people's mouth about how ocean looks like... Since birth till now, it's my first time seeing an ocean sight infront of me, Mr. Jeon. This smell... it's so beautiful, this voice... it is making me think that I'm unfettered" Jimin's voice echoed in Jungkook's head as he was on the same beach he had brought Jimin once. He could imagine Jimin's teary eyes when he had told him these words.
"A person who could cry upon just seeing the beauty of ocean, how could he be someone he turned out to be?" Jungkook mumbled to himself.
Jungkook just caressed the beaded necklace Jimin had made for him as he looked down at that letter J on that small heart bead in his hands.
"Mr. Jeon, Attorney Kim is here to meet you" Daejung mentioned as he cleared his throat first.
"I don't want to meet anyone" Jungkook replied without looking at him, his hair were stiffed because of the cold wind of the ocean by now.
"Don't be that rude, bestie. I have a news for you" Namjoon started while pushing Daejung away with his arm and walking towards Jungkook.
"Jimin works for my rival, I know" Jungkook rolled his eyes and Namjoon sighed, no pleased that Jungkook knew it before he could tell him.
"Well... too much security?" Namjoon started while looking around.
"Suddenly, my grandfather has realized that I'm an important shit to earn money and should be protected" Jungkook sarcastically mentioned without looking at him still and Namjoon sat down on the sand beside Jungkook.
"Well, you have the clue in your hands now, you can sue Hyun-Su for stealing your designs, that boy is the main golden key for that. Either ways, you won't get a new release but Hyun-Su's new launch will be a huge disappointment for his buyers and for the media" Namjoon suggested.
"And what that hooker was doing in my house?"
"Obviously, we can prove that he broke in on his own" Namjoon shrugged.
"You want my Pulchritude to be accused of that and rot in jail? Sounds pleasing but the problem is... whatever he did, he is mine. So, think twice before you speak" Jungkook suggested with a raised eyebrow.
"Wow... Kosan won't let him be there for more a few days and he will be out but Hyun-Su's reputation will get a huge stain" Namjoon snickered.
"Still. No" Jungkook decided and they went quiet until Jungkook sighed and started. "He was blackmailed to do it but if he was then why did Hyun-Su said that he shouldn't be in love with me according to their plans? This thing is bothering me... did he really love me or what? Like... it's driving me crazy"
"Jimin... is a really dumb boy, as a fact, he is young and naive to deal with certain situations, he doesn't know how our world works, he just know how his world works. Definitely, meeting you was Hyun-Su's idea and surely, Jimin would be blackmailed to seduce you and get in... but I think he is into you now" Namjoon added and Jungkook just looked at him.
"He didn't seduce me... or maybe he did... I don't know, I was drunk, I can't remember anything how he did end up in my bed but as far as I can remember a little is that we had sex. Nothing much" Jungkook frustratedly whispered.
"So... what next?" Namjoon shrugged.
"Let it go" Jungkook replied and Namjoon chuckled. "What's so funny?"
"Beautiful things can make a man go crazy. You wouldn't have stayed behind if it wasn't for Jimin, do you?"
"Yeah... I got fucked up a big time by a piece of dirt living in a swamp but the problem is that I liked it. So, thank you and fuck off" Jungkook mentioned while rolling his eyes.
"Nah, you are just saying it, deep down you hurt yourself each time you call him a slut because you know it isn't his fault" Namjoon smiled assuringly and Jungkook just looked away.
"And on this designs issue, you are actually hurt by heart or else you wouldn't be here all alone, looking like this. If it would not be the case, You will be all in rage to bite everyone coming at front and would have locked that bitch somewhere to spend nights with" Namjoon added.
"I'm not that type of the man"
"Yeah, probably not the locking for sex part but indeed the rest is you"
"Whatever happened was all with his consent, I never took his advantage, I never forced him when he said he just wanted to sleep in my arms. I always tried he feels safe and loved while being with me" Jungkook explained while aimlessly collecting the hand full of old sand into his fist and then letting it go.

"He is like a ghost over my own house! I can't deal with it" Suga complained while sinking into a couch in a club he was in with Taehyung who was spaced out, smoking expressionlessly. "I kidnapped him, he should have been finding ways to escape but that's totally opposite, the story he tells is too harsh for me to kick him out by force and he is too mild and... and just like that, I'm afraid of the things I didn't wanted"
"Afraid of Kosan? Because you stole his darling?" Taehyung expressionlessly stated, exhaling the smoke out.
"You are taking me for so low. I'm not afraid of Kosan, if I would want it to be this way, he would have no other option but to lose Hoseok to me. The issue is my mother, what if one day she walks in to find him in and he tells her what he was to me? I mean, is still"
"If you have had enough of him and want him to get lost then just fuck your conscience and kick him out" Taehyung suggested which was a little weird for Suga to hear from Taehyung.
"He doesn't take a step out of the elevator and remain there going up and down until I let him in" Suga added.
"What's the deal?"
"I'm just not going home" Suga concluded.
"You have been spending every night outside in hotels, how long you can do that?" Taehyung asked.
"Nights are evil if you have a beauty around. I don't want to get..."
"To get?"
"To get... attracted... and once I will taste it again there is no turning back, he is completely prepossessing. He know how to seduce me. It is better to stay away" Suga explained and noticed Taehyung's spaced out self.
"That's weird, you would have never suggested me to kick him out. Instead, you would have been persisting to make me realize how broke and alone Hoseok is like a child and needs my protection" Suga began complaining.
"It's like... you guys already know what's true but just want me to waste my energy on your assholes" Taehyung sarcastically snickered while stowing his cigarette between his lips. "Everyone likes to use me... everyone... Do you know Jungkook has a daughter?" Taehyung asked out of nowhere.
"Everyone does" Suga shrugged and Taehyung tsked while caressing his own forehead with his fingers.
"Two daughters. 6 six years old Jae-Hwa and an year or two old baby Melody. With Jimin" Taehyung separated the two drunkenly with his fingers.
"What?!" Suga stunningly yelled.
"Clearly, you didn't know it either" Taehyung chuckled.
"Melody is Jimin's grandma, Jungkook told that to me and you were there too" Suga tried to explain.
"That's not a grandma! That's his daughter!" Taehyung yelled suddenly and Suga just blinked his eyes, confused.
"But if he... he met Jimin by the end of last year if... that... how did the baby formed out of nowhere?!"
"Who told you they met a few months ago?" Taehyung asked while crossing his arms over his chest.
"Clearly, Jungkook did" Suga mentioned until Taehyung raised his eyebrow at the statement with an evil smirk. "Shit..." Suga grabbed his own hair with both of his hands completely stunned.
"Exactly. We didn't see anything with our own eyes. We just know what Jungkook have told us. Wow" Taehyung sarcastically clapped being drunk and Suga just looked at the ceiling with his hair still clutched under his hands as he leaned back on the couch.

Jungkook walked into his bedroom in a snail's pace to find Mi-Sun already asleep in their bed since he came back home at 2:03 A.M.
Jungkook straight went to his walk-in-closet/ dressing room to glare at his document drawer. He tried to ignore it while looking for some comfortable clothes to change his suit with and a clean bathrobe to go but he ended up opening a drawer that winked a red sparkle at Jungkook.
That slave bracelet. Jungkook sarcastically snickered while grabbing it out of the drawer harshly and carried it out to his room, in a hope to toss it into the room's trash bin violently and he did. The bracelet scattered into the can with it's crystals all over broken off and Jungkook just watched it proudly.
He went back to continue his night routine with his clothes he had taken out and straight went to the bathroom while slamming the door shut.
But the next thing Jungkook was doing while being in a bathtub all lathered, was to stow back all the red crystals into the wire of that slave bracelet. While all the other red crystals left to be stowed were neatly placed infront of him on a bathtub caddy tray infront of him. Such a loser.
"That's right, Jimin. I'm going to break you and then will fix you and then will again break you and will fix you, again and again until you beg me to stop" Jungkook talked to himself once he was done fixing that beautiful bracelet which took him an hour.
He just caressed the bracelet and placed it aside. Grabbing his towel from nearby only to look suspicious at the towel. The same towel Jimin had used but Jungkook hid it in a doubt to have cum stains all over. Though, the towel was clean but it couldn't get washed by the maids either.
He could have made million excuses to why he took that bracelet out of the trash and fix it but when he slightly sniffed into the towel, he couldn't get over it. Burying his nose in it, then his whole face, it was smelling like Jimin.
Clutching onto the fabric as if he had on Jimin's skin, Jungkook inhaled deeper and deeper and exhaled more, sinking back into the tub but the water wasn't what he wanted to feel on him. No other excuses were left for him that he visibly was undergoing some 'urges' at that point.
He tsked and sighed, thought that he could get over it.
He paced into his bedroom now wearing a black bathrobe, back and forth. Back and forth, in a power walk. He didn't want to lose.
He kept persisting in bed, laying straight or tossing and turning, throwing sheets aside at times and at times covering himself in them. Nothing seemed to work. Nothing seemed to work because he couldn't let go of that towel all of that time, which was still into his hand rested beside his pillow. He tried to ignore the towel and turned to the other side and on his stomach or wherever but he lose and inhale into it again.
"This is haunting me..." Jungkook realized as he abruptly sit up with his hair messed up and his silk robe halfway opened, revealing his whole chest and he touched his neck with that towel, exhale out and then down to his chest. Touching it on him like Jimin would.
Could a towel be that...? Well, all the neverminds to Jungkook who threw everything aside to stand up straight. He had a hundred percentage chance to win this battle but.
"Fuck it" Jungkook tsked while grabbing his black suit pants and wearing them and the next moment he was all dressed up in a white dress shirt under a black vest with his hair perfectly made and parted. Still with a rude look on his face, he checked himself into the mirror as he sprayed perfume all over. Placing the bracelet carefully back into the drawer to continue living until the next time.

"What?! See! I told you to stay away from the Jeons. They all are so fucked up people and they can fuck themselves. Didn't his jerkass father offer a little help even after knowing everything?" Jimin's mother asked him while Jimin was just leaned on a wall outside the club. He was wearing see-through but not completely sheer, white shirt with white latex pants, having white rhinestones all over his attire and even a few under his eyes like tears. Looking quite beautiful to look at. But quiet empty too.
"He himself is afraid of his son. He refused to help directly but he will try whatever he can" Jimin mumbled.
"And wait a second, what does his father has to do with you?" She raised her eyebrow at Jimin.
"Well... actually... I lied to him about something" Jimin lied while looking away trying to brush off the conversation but his mother didn't let him.
"About what?"
"That... well, I was babysitting a baby and he thought that it's his son's child... with me"
"What?! What sort of a dumb man he is? And you didn't correct him?!"
"I did but he was too sure so, I just let it be and began acting that it is true since he could make me marry Mr. Jeon" Jimin mumbled with a pout.
"Just stay away from them! And speaking of Kosan, Nobody is killing anyone and until I am alive no one can inject you. Try to return the money as soon as possible to dodge this" his mother added and Jimin just looked away, couldn't tell her that this time, Kosan was targeting his daughter. Either money, murder or Melody, he had to choose from.
"Jimin?" a younger boy than Jimin mentioned, who was probably the new bartender dressed in sharp sparkling blue as he walked closer to Jimin.
"What?" Jimin asked rather rude until the good-looking boy leaned into Jimin's ear as if he was telling him a secret. "Do you want to pay to the club? All at once, beautiful?" The creepy boy whispered into Jimin's ear as he slipped a card into Jimin's back waistband.
Jimin just frowned at him as the boy kissed Jimin's lips fondly and smiled. "Sorry, you are prettier from up close" the boy added.
"Yes, please, now fuck off" His mother took a stand since Jimin was too puzzled and watched his mother tossing the boy's collar away, making the boy to flash a wink at Jimin before running back into the club, making Jimin to left behind to just stare at that suspicious card he taken out from his waistband.
"What is it?" His mother questioned.
"Happened to be a card key of a hotel's room, the address is printed on it too with time" Jimin stated and just looked at his mother who shook her head in denial.
"What if all of my problems will get fixed?" Jimin questioned, trying to make her mother agree on it.
"All the problems can be fixed if you will remain alive. By checking the audacity of that new bartender kid who was ready to throw himself on you a second ago, God knows what sort of the psychopath wants you there. No. Throw it away" She insisted.
"It's not about my own self anymore and I don't have anything to lose either. How hard a fuck can be? Besides that, if I won't work tonight, I won't have anything to eat tomorrow either since no one is going to buy me meals for free... anymore. Don't worry, I will manage" Jimin patted his mother's shoulder and she shook her head abruptly.
"No. It's not a good way to earn, Jimin" She tried but Jimin began running away before she could grab him.
"Jimin! Come back! Jimin, you asshole?!" His mother called but Jimin kept running away while reading the unfamiliar card.
