Present

Location: Pyeongchang-dong, Seoul, Korea
Time: 8:43 pm

Taehyung silently waits for Jimin in the living room of the latter's house. He's been staying over Jimin's house for the past couple of days after he was discharged from the hospital, as suggested by Jimin himself.

The past two days seemed to calm Taehyung's nerves. His doctor suggested him to take a leave off from work, so he can keep his mind from overthinking. He's slowly trying to live a normal life after what happened to him. He convinced himself to brush off the idea that his killer will be coming back to get him.

The clock ticks as another minute passed by. Though Jimin's house, well mansion to say the least, has a lot of maids, Taehyung still wants to have Jimin by his side. His best friend gives him the kind of security that he needs right now.

What's taking him so long?

Taehyung is clearly bored to death waiting for Jimin. The maids offered to set the dining table for him to have his supper, but he rejected because he wants to eat with his best friend.

After some time, he decided to go to the balcony to get some fresh air and gawk over the beautiful starry sky.

The sky is decorated with shining stars that illuminate the darkness of the night. They were plotted in the sky in such a way that patterns and images can be formed.

Taehyung breathed in the beauty of the night. His eyes glowing and his lips show his boxy smile as he traced the stars with his fingers, seemingly connecting them to draw an image in the sky.

He giggled upon seeing a rabbit pattern with one crooked bunny ear.

"Cute." Taehyung mumbles in delight.

He continued drawing other patterns with his pointing finger. Taehyung was in a trance, forgetting about the time and Jimin. He stood there at the balcony like a child, drawing silly things in the sky. His giggles liven the silent night.

Taehyung was having the time of his life when out of nowhere, he started to feel chills run down his spine. He shivers as the cold wind touched his whole body, numbing him. Fear started to creep his mind after feeling that someone is staring at him.

Tae took a deep breath and closed his eyes to calm his senses. He tried to ease his mind from worries, convincing himself that he's just overthinking things and being a paranoid, clearly the aftermath of his near-death experience.

Calm down Tae. No one's there. This is just a fragment of your imagination.... breathe in.... breathe out.

He started his breathing exercise, hoping that he'll calm down. After feeling a bit relieved, he opened his eyes, only to be met by a sudden movement of a shadow behind the tall tree near the gates.

Taehyung's eyes popped, as if he had seen a ghost. His heart palpitated and his hands started to sweat. He's not paranoid....

Someone is there! There's a fucking person there!

Memories of what happened to him rushed his mind. What if the killer is now pointing his gun in his forehead......?

Taehyung reached for his forehead with his shaking hands. He slowly looked at his hands, ckecking if there's blood in them. All along, he did not notice that he's holding his breath.

N-no blood.

He quickly released a relieved sigh before stepping hurrieldy inside the house. He needs to alert the people inside about the possible intruder.

Someone is definitely there.

And Taehyung is sure as hell that the uninvited guest has bad intentions.

"Fuck you hyung! Do you really have to distract me now?!"

Jungkook cursed under his breath after seeing Taehyung hysterically run inside the house to alert everyone that someone is lurking behind the tree.

If only Yoongi did not blabber too much about how excited he is with the next task, Jungkook wouldn't have been noticed by Taehyung and things wouldn't have turned this bad.

Jungkook saw the maids panicked. One of them calls for security personnel, which is not good for him. This fucking house already has tight security. Adding more guards would literally be a pain in his neck.

"What the hell did I do?" Yoongi protested.

"Just fucking shut up for a moment hyung!"

Jungkook tried to think of a way to finish what he started. Even though the people are now on alert, Jungkook can't let this moment pass without completing the second task.

He tightened his grip on the small box that he's holding.

Task # 2 Deliver the client's message to the target.

Jungkook doesn't know what is inside the box. Not that he's not curious, it's just that in their line of work, if the client wishes to be secretive on other details, the killer must respect that.

After all, they are only tasked to kill the target. There are instances that Jungkook just kills someone without even knowing the reason why that someone must die. He just have to kill regardless of the reason.

Jungkook carefully jumped off the tree and swiftly moved behind the bushes. He already found a way to get the box in the room where Taehyung is staying. He checked whether the coast is clear before rushing to the left side of the house where it's darker and with clearer view of the target's room.

Jungkook has to take this opportunity before the back up guards arrive. He adjusted his cap and his mask to make sure his face is properly covered. He took out his gun, not the usual one with bullets, this gun has arrows with really sharp edges that can break glass windows.

Without letting the time pass, Jungkook quickly tied a string to the small box. He attached the other end of the string to the arrow before pointing it to where he wished to fire it.

Jungkook looked at his scope before firing. The arrow went straight to the window, breaking it instantly.

The people inside the house gasped at the noise that came from Taehyung's room. The maids rushed to check and their eyes widened upon seeing the broken glasses scattered on the floor, and an arrow with a small box attached to it.

Taehyung did not move from the living room where he was staying with his guards surrounding him. He doesn't have the strength to check what happened inside his room.

Everything seems to be a repetition of what he experienced in his house before. He shivered in fear, praying that Jimin will come home soon.

Jimin!

Taehyung snapped out of his worries. He thought about his best friend who's now involved in his problem.

What if the killer attacks him for helping me?!

Oh God no!

Taehyung started to cry in fear.

Not for himself but for Jimin.

He knew that he's dragging his best friend in his problems. Now that the killer knew where he is and the people whom he's staying with, there is a huge possibility that he'll hurt them as well.

Taehyung can't risk that from happening. If the killer wants him dead...so be it.

Thought Jungkook has softened a little?

Nah! Not so fast.

Hahaha love you 😘
