*No More war - Descendants Of The Sun*

"So you finally had the guts to tell the truth?" Jin smirks.

Joon and team follow Yoon Do's lead and they reach a dilapidated building where Jin was already waiting for them with two of his guards. Tae recognized one of them as the guard who attacked Hong that night. He balled up his fist to go hit him but Hong stopped him and held his hands to calm him down. Seeing that, Jin scoffs "Little brother, I see you got back together." He says pointing at their intertwined hands, "You never really listened to me, did you?" he then turned to Joon,

"They seem to have forgiven you for whatever shit you did. But I haven't." He gets up and shoots the guard beside him, BANG!

"Taehyung, I only ordered him to kill her, he did something else. So I killed him in your place."

"Don't try to act human now." Tae says angrily.

"Who said I am one? I am WH, the devil itself, right Joon?" Jin smirks. It seems to be his signature move.

"Why are you back Jin?" Joon finally speaks.

"Why do you always ask the same thing? Last time when your mom's brains were blown by your own dad, you asked the same thing. Doesn't it get boring?"

"JIN, WHY ARE YOU BACK?" Joon raises his voice a little.

"To tell my side of the story. To tell you how your father ruined my life. To tell everyone how much I loved you and how you betrayed me." Jin raised his voice too.

"Jin I never betrayed you. My dad somehow came to know about our relationship and he threatened me with your life. I had no choice than to break up with you!"

"So what? You chickened out? Do you remember the number of calls I made? Do you remember how many times I tried to visit you? You could have told me and we would have handled it together. But no, you never actually loved me to have cared about me. Ask Tae here. Ask him how I was after our breakup. I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep. All I could think about was you!"

"Jin...." He interrupts him and turns to everyone,

"Everyone, today I will tell you a story. The story of the downfall of Kim Seokjin and rise of WH. You see this man here?" He points at Joon and lovingly touches his shoulder but to everyone's shock he pushes him to the ground. Joon signals his team not to do anything and Jin comes and sits on one knee in front of him.

"You see this man here? I loved him. I fucking loved him! I loved his secrets. Remember, I was so excited to finally start my life with you? We decided to meet your father at the graduation ceremony? He did not even show up! I waited. I waited for long enough and then came back to meet him at his house. All he did was "Let's break up!" and slam the door in my face." Jin got up and wiped a bit of his tears.

"I deserved an explanation Joon. I did. After all I sacrificed for you, I gave you my all. I deserved a fucking explanation!" He points a gun at Joon. "But then I realized I am not worth it. I wasn't worth of this treatment. I thought I'd go to meet your father and somehow persuade him and make him understand about us. But that day.....that day...." Jin chokes a little, "I saw you sitting there with a girl just laughing and acting as if nothing happened! I wasn't going to let you treat me like that so I was going to barge in but ...someone stopped me from behind. It was you father!"

"He said he needed to talk to me. He took me to his office and sat me down. He explained your relationship with that girl, whom you were going to marry but for a case. I still wasn't convinced enough so he gave me a contract to join a gang. He proposed that if I sign the contract, become a part of that gang and become their spy, he would think about our relationship. I still couldn't wrap my head around all of it but as soon as he mentioned your name Joon, I agreed. You meant more to me than my own life. But that was my mistake."

"I trusted your father. That was my mistake number 1. I signed the contract without even looking at it. I went home to be surprised by none other than..." He now points the gun at Hong, "Nam Hong Joo, the then girlfriend of my little brother Tae. She was the one who showed the contract to my family. How much ever I tried to persuade them, I gave them my reason to sign the contract but they would not budge. Not even my own brother! He believed some twit he was fucking for 3 years over his own brother!"

"She wasn't the one who showed us the contract." Tae comes in front of Jin's gun. "It was me. Hong was going to confront you alone but I was the one who overreacted and told you to leave the house." Tae looks down with guilt.

Jin is dumbfounded. All this time, was he really that misunderstood?

"But.....did you ever ask her where did she get that contract from? No! It was so obvious that she worked with Woo Tak. That was her plan from the start. It was their plan! Woo Tak wanted someone who would keep an eye on his son's boyfriend and who would be better at it than this girl. She seduced you Tae so she could keep an eye on me!"

"That's enough Jin." Joon's voice comes from behind. Jin turns to see him getting up. "Hong knew nothing about this. She never knew we dated. Woo Tak deliberately gave it to Hong, showing her as if he was concerned about you and told her to talk to you. She was going to do that alone but Tae found it before she could. It was unfortunate but you cannot blame them for my father's games."

"So you do realize what your father did? And you never stopped him? Ha..ahhahahahahahh..." Jin laughs hysterically. "Was our lives fun to play with?"

"I never knew what my father did!" Joon breaks down. Jin turns his head towards Hobi to hide his tears and continues.

"Ahhhh...Hobi darling...how can I ever forget you? He... he helped me the most here. To destroy Woo Tak!"

They all look at each other in confusion.

"Oh..oh..i'll make it more clear. Thanks to Hong, I had no house to live in now. I, being a fool, still went to Woo Tak and he gave me the contract again. I contacted them and helped Woo Tak win that case effortlessly. But when it was his time to pay back, he said he 'can't accept his son's relationship with a gang's member'. Joon was right there. I begged him saying that it wasn't true...but...but he didn't believe me. Instead he got me arrested and said 'I HATE YOU' right on my fucking face." He turned to Joon, "That fucking hurt."

"That night, in the jail, I vowed to destroy him and his father. For taking away my family, my love. When I got out, my family had already moved out. I still had contacts with the gang members and they helped me and I went to London. Soon I had enough money and power and I was able to overthrow the then gang leader. That's how I became WH."

"And luck was with me too. I met Hobi and found about his father. I seduced him and got all the information I needed to internally break your fucked up organization. And I was successful in doing that. I was the one who suggested they should work as private agents and get paid. That's how this little guy's dad died, isn't it?" He points at Jimin who looks at him with rage.

"But I wasn't done yet. I had to break Joon the way he broke me. Fortunately, Hong's father too came in between. He wasn't so hard to get rid of." Jin smirks again looking at Hong.

"The last straw was Joon's mother. I know he was the closest to his mother and the only way to break him was to take her away. It wasn't hard to put suspicions into Woo Tak's mind. He did not believe me at first but when he saw her photos, he went mad. Hobi's dad wasn't in my plan but he killed him too. The look on Joon's face when his own father killed his mother was priceless!"

He turned to Joon again. "You remember the pain you felt at that moment? Yeah? That is what I felt when everything was taken away from me in a flash!"

He sniffs and turns to Hobi, "Listen I had no grudge against you. I never even touched you. You were just unfortunate enough to be born to someone like your dad and be a part of this...this...shithole." He turns to Tae now, "Rest is pretty simple. I broke up with Hobi and went back to London but not before trying to break off your wedding. I knew who Hong was and I wanted to protect you Tae, but you ended up marrying her and getting stood up after you wedding night. I told you Tae, she wasn't the right one for you."

"Jin Hyung, do you even realize what have you done? You killed innocents, you manipulated them!" Tae looks at him with a shocked expression; not believing what Jin said was true.

"I realized it was time for everyone to know Woo Tak's real face. I realized that the entire time, my goal was to make Joon realize his father destroyed me, he destroyed us."

He falls on his knees and spreads his arms, showing defeat.

"Joon, I always loved you. But you treated me like shit. Your dad destroyed us. I told you we should have run away!" he covers his face to sob. "I never meant to do this. I just wanted a normal life with my love. I just wished that if ...if we have met at some other time at some other place ...it would have been way better."

Joon sits down with him and hugged him tightly. Jin could hear his silent sobs. He pulls away and says,

"I told you I can never hurt you. The day your mother died, I swore to myself I will stop, but I just couldn't. I was way too deep into this shit. I murdered thousands and innocents to reach where I am today. But my sole reason to become like this is now complete. You can now arrest me."

Joon pulls away from the hug too and looks into his eyes, "Never say I didn't love you. I loved you enough to let you go. I loved you enough to protect you. If I had to choose your life or our love, I would always choose your life. But...." Joon stands up and points his gun towards Jin, "But...you did things you shouldn't have done. You should have stayed back here. After you came out of jail, I came to visit you but you were already gone. I tried to contact you but I couldn't."

He puts the finger on the trigger, "But you came far away and there is no turning back. I love you but I won't arrest you. I'll kill you myself!"

"As you wish baby. But before going, won't you ask what WH means?"

Joon looks at him with an unsure expression. "It's the nickname you gave me baby, Worldwide Handsome – WH." He laughs. Joon laughs too and gets ready to shoot him.

"I love you Joon."

"No Joon don't!" Both Hong and Jimin shout in unison but in vain. Joon had never been this sure before pulling the trigger.

BANG!

Jin fell on the ground with a thud, blood oozing from his head. Joon drops his gun and everyone rushes to him. He falls down on his knees.

"Joon, are you okay? Are you okay?" Hong asks desperately.

"Leave me alone, please." Joon pleads with his eyes fixated on Jin.

Tae pats on Hong's back and assures her it is better to leave him alone for now. They leave the building and sit in their vans; silent, unsure of what just happened, blaming themselves that somehow, somehow all of this could have been avoided.

"I wish I could have somehow...Somehow stopped all of this from happening." Joon says clutching Jin's hand and tears trickling down from his face, "But it's not over yet, the final battle is not over yet."

He kissed him one last time and got up to wipe his tears. He walks back towards their van.

It's not over yet. The final battle isn't over yet. He will pay for what he did!
