{ A FEW YEARS BACK }

•°• ✾ •°•

"KIM TAEHYUNG!" A petrifying voice echoed in the hallways of this big villa, where no other sounds could be heard. Situated in an area that had no other people living in a 10 km radius, it was highly guarded.

And why not? One of the most monstrous mafia lived here with his sons. One of them was his own unwanted child and the other six were adopted son's.

It wouldn't be precise to call them his children, because they were just some puppets that had to be trained under his supervision to help him rule the world some day. All of them were somehow related to the top mafia's of this country that this man had murdered, in order to get one step ahead from others in this race.

There hid a boy, being terrified of his own father who searched for him in every corner of this house. "COME HERE" he shouted again to which taehyung flinched.

The kitchen cabinet felt suffocating as he unknowingly released a yelp when a sudden burst of his dad had a huge impact on him. That was the moment when he knew, that his presence was already recognized by the horrific man.

That cabinet got opened by the guards as his father stood there looking at him like he was about to throw fists at the kid. "Come out..." After hearing such a calm tone from him, the 6 year old taehyung slowly came out of that space and stood straight. His head hung low and lips quavered uncontrollably.

Mr.kim came forward and clasped taehyung's jaw in his hold while pressing it really hard. The kid started crying and pleading on that vulnerable pain, it felt like his whole body stiffened.

"A-ap-appa d-on--" his words got cut of as taehyung's body landed on that icy floor with a thud. His father again held him with his collar and took that little self of his, to the garden where many masked people sat on their knees while being tied up with ropes.

H-he'll kill them. That's what he thought.

Some sat at their places like statues, ready to face their death whilst some were trembling as if, they were scared to let this life go away so soon. The mafian made his son to stand on his own feet right infront of a lady whose face remained concealed.

Handing a gun to taehyung who stood there with numerous fears ghosting him, the ruthless man ordered.
"Kill her" That sounded like the most common phase he may usually use in daily life.

The little child just looked up at his father's figure who just faced infront without sparing any glance at his son. Taehyung's wet eyes glanced at that heavy metallic object in his hands that was enough to kill anyone in a second, right at that spot.

"Didn't you hear? KILL HER" Taehyung felt his insides doing flips as if someone choked the hell out of him. He questioned himself a thousand times that whether she deserved it or not.

Was it fine to kill someone who may or may not even have done any bad deeds at all?

Should I...or should I not?

"Fucking asshole you are...taehyung kim" his father mouthed with gritted teeth and immediately grasped his hand that held the given gun. He forcefully pulled the trigger as the child tried his best to not let that happen.

"NOOO-" taehyung's scream was clearly heard...it was heard by everyone present in there, but no one could speak a word against this monster that was his dad after all. His own brother's just watched this scene and gave him pitiful glances.

"I don't wanna watch this same shit again...you have to learn, you have to kill. Or else, you get killed" His father spoke those words that still sends chills down to taehyung's spine.

{ THE PRESENT TIME }

•°• ✾ •°•

This lavishing room was completely dark in the enchanting twilight which made it harder to see anything at all. The balcony's aperture remained open, as wind flowed through it making the lightweighted curtains to sway in the cool breeze that was supposed to feel insanely clam to an individual, but fortunately, not to this devil who rested here.

A glass of whiskey in my hands that had multiple ice cubes in it was slightly tilted at front, as I just serenely sat on a huge couch that looked like a throne. One of my legs reposed on the other one and I had a silky white shirt on with simple black trousers.

Taking another sip of that drink, I casually gulped it down to the throat, as if it was water. An unforeseen ring of my mobile made my senses triggered as I took a moment and picked it up.

"Hello taehyung?" Jin spoke from the other line and I replied with a simple hum.

"I got some valuable information about Zaden" hmm...Interesting.

Placing that glass somewhere on the table, I walked to the balcony being eager to listen, whatever he had to say.
"Speak" Jin followed my words and started off with his talk.

"I contacted some other mafia's who may be close to zaden or either keeping an eye on him. Then I got to know seok-dal, his trusted man who had proofs that Zaden is following some girl from the past few days...and she fortunately goes to same university where our spy saw him visiting often. I had to threaten them a lot for this info".

"Following someone?" He hummed him agreement.

"Any information about that girl?" I questioned.

"We just got the name and I called you at that very instant...but don't worry we'll be getting more particulars in a while". I sat back on the couch and started pouring another drink for myself.

"Name?" Hands held that glass in a loose hold and my contented self was ready to take another sip.

"Yoon yn" He replied and all of a sudden, some voices captured my inner thoughts.

"Yoon yn it is...I'm a lowly person who needs introductions *giggles*"

"Big guy!!"

"You look funny while getting mad at silly things! *laugh*"

"You saved two lives big guy" *soft tone*

"He's our savior...*smiles*"

An unknown nostalgia hit my mind and I blinked my eyes in remembrance.

The same girl huh?

"Supreme?" Jin called out as I came back to my lost senses.

"Send me the details in next 10 minutes" saying this, I declined the call without waiting for any response.
How coincidental...that girl is of big use to me.

I clearly know that Zaden is just fucking around and he's no way close to loving someone ever, in his unworthy life. He must be planning to kidnap her soon enough. Before that, I have to get her here which will undoubtedly be a piece of cake for me.

{ AFTER 8 MINUTES }

A notification popped up on my phone and I just offhandedly took it in my hold. Jin had sent me the information so my curious self directly clicked on it to see what that girl had for herself.

● Name:- Yoon Y/N

● Age:- 22 years

● Date of birth:- 25th October, xxxx

● Education:- CSAT topper from Seoul international school.

● Phone number:- 011-XXX-XXXX

It's even easier now, her parents don't even live here which means no drama. Luck is surely on my side.

It was getting much more easier as I drank the whiskey from my glass in one go. That Xavier was such a motherfucker, I'll give a horrific death to all three of those assholes.

Xavier, Zaden and Han as well. Doesn't matter if they are involved or not.

The night broke off as morning came by soon enough. Taehyung never slept just like most of the times in his life and straight went to the headquarters of his community.

<<ON THE OTHER HAND>>
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。

Sunlight entered the kitchen from those glass windows as one of my favorite breakfasts which included chocolate pancakes with fruits and a glass of juice was placed infront me. I made the same for aunt claire and uncle lee.

The three of us were having our food happily as I enjoy it like always when aunt said. "This girl never listens mr.lee. I am the one who is supposed to cook here and I've told her a million times not to enter the kitchen for any works. She's just a kid and according to me, yn is supposed to enjoy her life only, but she still tries do these household works"

"What should I do, tell me?" Aunty asked with a frown as I just listened to her complaints with a sly smile. Looking over at uncle lee, he was just trying to hold his laugh and as soon as his eyes met mine. We both burst out laughing while aunty just stared at us in confusion.

"Ohh miss claire, it has been years and you still never forget to mention these things*laugh*" aunt just gave him a light smile and continued eating while me and uncle did a high-five.

"Then what do you expect? I am always worried about my moonpie" she side hugged me and kissed my cheek that made me let out a giggle. "Aunty~ it's okay to help you sometimes right? I'm not even home more often these days...university life is difficult know!" She just laughed at my words while I gazed at her with hopeful eyes.

"I won't allow you to do housework anymore under any circumstances, don't assume that you can butter me up about that" I gave her a sad look and she just stuffed a strawberry in my mouth.

All of us cackled up. "Oh yn! Mr and mrs yoon called last night, actually...the schedule is all packed and it seems like they won't be able to visit for next few months until holidays" uncle stated with an overwhelmed look as I just gave him a light grin. "It's fine, they'll come later on. Till then, the three of us can enjoy ourselves here...right?"

Both of them nodded in agreement but a hint of pity for me was still clear on their faces. It's okay, mom dad are just busy...they'll come and meet me soon enough. I shouldn't feel bad.

<<SOON, AT THE UNIVERSITY>>
•°• ✾ •°•

Stepping out of the car, I gazed back at Mr.lee and waved at him while bidding him a bye as he drove off after saying.
"Go on child, remember to eat your lunch". *giggle* He's so sweet. My excited self was ready to step forward and meet my friends. The entrance gate was just infront of me and I walked ahead but stopped in an instant when out of nowhere, a yelp got my attention.

My eyes searched around to find the cause and forseeabely, there I saw it. A little crying kid was sitting in a corner of this road which was the starting point of an alley upfront. I went to him and bent down on my knees with a small smile. He looked up and sobbed again a little louder, I felt a strange pain in my heart when I saw his weeping self.

Aww poor child.

"Sweetheart, what happened? Why are you crying?" And when I asked him about it, he cried harder. I somehow panicked a bit but there was no one other than me and the child at this corner of the road. "Hey are you hurt?" He gazed at me again and pointed at something on his arm. It was a small cut that bleeded making it harder for him to stop yelping.

"Oh it's fine...look what I have for you" I managed to smile a bit and took out a bandage from my purse before sticking it on his wound. A light smile melted on my lips and I caressed his cheek. "See...how cute this looks right?"

I talked to him but the kid looked awfully scared, he stared at something behind my back. I got curious to witness what it was and as my confused self turned around to see what it was...someone harshly held my wrist in a tight grip and started dragging me to a nearby car. There were many of those people and suddenly, my eyes got covered by a black cloth preventing me to see anything.

I struggled to speak something but nothing came out as someone was covering my mouth with their hands. They made me sit inside and I tried my best to shout out or do something but nothing came out loud. A strange smell surrounded my nostrils and I unknowingly sniffed it which wasn't a good choice. My mind fell silent and I stopped any movement even if I never wanted to.

The environment felt immensely glacial and the last thing I remembered was my unheard squeal that may or may never came out of my throat.
