Chapter Sixteen
"Oh yes, there will be blood"
- Saw II
Eyelids felt like heavy rocks, opening his eyes seems difficult like they were attached with gum. His movements were restricted, limbs were constraint by something while a hush voice was talking non-stop, with him or someone? He didn't know.
'What happened to him? He was fine a while ago. He tried to remember previous events but only let out a groan due to headache.
"If you don't stop groaning then I'll literally kill you" someone whispered in his ears angrily.
The words were familiar. He knew the owner of this voice. It was none other than Kim Seokjin.
The words must have triggered something as his memory from last hour abruptly came like flood and he winched back in pain.
He remembered breaking in Seokjin's house by backdoor. It was obviously locked but he had seen enough YouTube videos about how to pick the lock. Walking in the dark, he paused for a moment, stressed on where to go and alas went near the kitchen to find a cellar or basement thinking Aera is held there.
He almost reached near the kitchen when a hand grabbed his shoulder terrifying him to the core. His breath caught in his mouth and he barely turned around when a deep voice asked.
"What are you doing here?"
"I-I was jus-" He was trying to make some excuse when the figure came in front of him. His small eyes widened in shock when a goofy boy was grinning ear to ear.
Kim Taehyung, in his unicorn onesie, was cutely scrubbing his eyes. Jimin mentally awed at the sweet boy, comparing him with his rude or probably criminal brother.
"My new friend, do you wanna see something cute? I just got it. My present is in my room. Come" he couldn't stand straight due to excitement and bounce on his toes.
Jimin was dragged upstairs unwillingly and barely made inside a purple door when he was pulled by collar all of a sudden. He watched the door shut by sheer force and screaming of Taehyung who was banging the door from other side, calling him for help.
Kim Seokjin was standing in front of Jimin in his usual crisp attire. Dark and mysterious, slide the door's bolt with his gloved hand, locking his little brother or supposedly cousin inside.
Jungkook had just closed his front door, seeing the couple out. His hunch for his fuckup devil theory was helped by his group mate confirming that they were against some evil entity.
He immediately put on his glasses and turn on the desk lamp, examining the original book - The Other side. He can't read the translated version as the parchments are with Hana. But there are coal drawn images in book which could be hint or clue.
Dark coal vines depicting branches of dark forest, hidden eyes in bushes, creepy images of people surrounding inky pages, erupted goosebumps in his body. What secrets lie in this book that even a scratchy letter give dangerous vibes?
"What are you doing in my house" Seokjin was doing a bad job in hiding his fury as his red ears were giving away his annoyance but Jimin was more focused on the desperate cries of Taehyung who was begging to let out from his dark, lonely room. Poor boy was bargaining freedom in trade of his toys and new present.
"Why are you treating him like this? Isn't he your brother" Jimin was stalling and nearly unlocked the door when Seokjin screamed in terrific voice and shove him on the floor, knocking him out.
His head slam on hardwood was the last thing he remembered.
His eyes opened in panic, looking everywhere in the dim room. It was hard to make out wall or furniture. His heart beat rapidly thinking that it could be a basement. He glances at his body only to find the ropes clawing at his skin like snakes.
He tried to shrink his body to loose the binds but received 'tut' from stood man who was shaking his head in fake sympathy.
"Regretting your stupid actions, huh! you really have some nerves to come at my house when I had clearly warned you and your little gang" he encircled his victim, terrorizing him more. It gives him immense power, boost his ego to see the fright taking over on his victims' face who never listen to him.
"Why are you doing this to me?" Jimin asked in shaky voice, helplessness blanket his once brave soul. He cursed himself for his foolishness, walking into into lion's den without telling his friends.
He shouldn't have come here alone, shouldn't have snoop in a criminal's house. Only if he had alerted his friends then maybe-
"I am just giving you a painless death" with that he loaded bullets in his firearm.
"I can't believe you dragged me there in my nightgown" Hana shivered and rub her hands together, to produce some heat. They were on their way to cottage, covering the distance with small talks.
The path was barely illuminated by veiled moon who seems afraid to witness tonight's mishappening. It watched an innocent soul losing its shine and entering a realm from which it can never appear again. Irony was that moon can't even tell others what horrors it had seen by its own.
While the nature was silently mourning for one more lost soul, the lovers duo were unaware of the vacant cottage, void of their best-friend who had thrown himself in inferno of endless sacrifice.
"Oh come here, you whiny baby" Yoongi embraced her from behind, enclosing her whole body with his bigger one, sharing his warmth while smooching her neck with lot of kisses as apology.
"I had to do that. Didn't it make our investigation better? Now we just have to just confirm that the host is Seokjin who'd released the devil" Yoongi said in determination.
"It seems unreal. Do you think we are going in a wrong way. I just feel we are overlooking something. Something important" Hana was feeling it in her gut. Seokjin was definitely a mystery but did he really killed all those people. To what extent had he gone?
"I thought that too that why I have hired someone to investigate the life of Kim Seokjin and his supposedly sugar daddy" he wore a sexy smirk
"You are genius" Hana complimented, turning around to kiss the hell out of Yoongi.
