For the past week, Jin had hardly stayed at home. When he told Nao he would be busy, she didn't expect him to be this busy. "Jin?" her whisper was full of hope, the feeling of someone watching her made her hair stand on end and icy chills ran through her, digging claws into her soul. Nao pulled the blanket back and hugged it tightly to her chest, squinting her eyes, trying to make out something in the darkness. "Jin, it's not funny, you're scaring me!" she almost squealed in a whisper and crawled to the headboard of the bed. "Pooh, honey, come to mommy?" she called the kitten, but again there was no answer.

Panic began to overwhelm her, making her breathing quicken and she clutched the covers to her chest even tighter. "Jin? Pooh?" her voice rose slightly, trembling, as if someone was trying to penetrate her head, staring at her forehead. With a trembling hand, Nao reached over and turned on the night light. Squinting against the light for a moment, she tried to catch some sign that she wasn't alone in the room, and when she opened them again, a terrifying scream was all that could be heard. High, shrill, desperate and followed by a never-ending spiral of new screams as she unconsciously tried to get away from the sight, climbing the headboard and the bed.

Jungkook was laying on the couch in the living room playing a game on his phone when he heard Nao's screams. Today it was his turn to stay with her and Jin hadn't come home yet but he was sure she was asleep. "What..." he jumped up and ran up the stairs, swinging her bedroom door open. "Holy shit!" he froze, surveying the scene. A thin rope hung over the lower end of the bed, Pooh's dead body was tied to the end, spinning over a pool of his own blood. His belly was distended and his insides were hanging like a rope.

Jungkook almost skipped the distance to the bed and wrapped Nao in the covers, making sure to cover her eyes as well and quickly carried her out, bringing her down to the living room. He placed her trembling body on one end of the sofa, sat down next to her and gave her a gentle half hug, dialing Seokjin's number. "Hello?" Jin answered almost immediately, but immediately hung up when he heard Nao's incessant screams of terror. Jungkook dialed Namjoon as well. "Hyung, come to Nao, now!" was all he said before he hung up this time.

Jungkook tossed his phone aside and hugged Nao tightly to his chest, stroking her back soothingly. "Shhh, it's over, it's over, calm down, I'm here" his soft voice didn't seem to get through her incessant screams, no matter how much he tried to calm her down. Her body kept shaking and soon her teeth started chattering as well. "Nao, Nao, look at me!" he commanded and cupped her face forcing her to look at him. Gritting his teeth, he took a deep breath and fixed her gaze. "Breathe Nao!" the ragged wheezing waves emanating from her lungs grew heavier and she struggled to breathe.

"For God's sake, breathe Nao!" her face took on a deathly pale expression and her screams just didn't stop, gathering the guards inside as well. "Check upstairs and don't touch anything!" Jungkook ordered coldly, pressing Nao already in his lap, hiding her from the guards' prying eyes with the blankets. "Back to work, idiots!" he roared and looked down at the hysterical Nao, who was struggling for air like a drowning man.

"Breathe, Nao, Jin hyung is coming, Namjoon too, it's going to be alright" he started rocking her like a little child looking nervously at the clock on the opposite wall "Come on hyung, I have no idea what to do with her" he thought, but he just couldn't think of anything that could help in this case. He had never been in a situation like this before and now he felt like a chicken in a quagmire. Nao's labored breathing forced her to stop screaming, but the shaking of her body was almost uncontrollable, Jungkook decided it might be a good idea to call Dr. Sang as well. His eyes were fixed on Nao's horrified face as he tried to feel where he had dropped his phone.

Jungkook felt like hours had passed when Namjoon flew into the house and the first thing he noticed was Nao on Jungkook's lap. "Upstairs in the bedroom" he nodded and Namjoon walked upstairs, making sure Jungkook wouldn't let his sister go. "Jin?" Nao continued to struggle for breath, Jungkook had never felt so helpless, seeing the fear and desperation in her eyes. "Try to calm your breathing, hyung is coming" he mumbled and she began to sniffle, sobbing. "Pooh?" he shook his head and her tears formed a waterfall that began to soak into the covers.

"Nao" Namjoon came back to them and Nao jumped off Jungkook's lap, throwing herself on Namjoon's neck. "Namjoon, Pooh...Pooh it's.." he held her tightly and stroked her back. "I know, baby, I know" Nao shivered again and buried her face in his chest, crying so heartbreakingly that Namjoon's heart broke into a million pieces.

"Nao!" Jin's face as he flew into the house was horrifying. Nao jerked her head up and almost screamed, tearing herself away from Namjoon and running towards him. "Jin!" he held her tight and looked at Jungkook and Namjoon with a murderous questioning look. "Jin, they killed Pooh" Nao sobbed against his chest and he gritted his teeth. "Look at me baby" he grabbed her shoulders and gently pushed her away, cupping her face and wiping away her tears with his thumbs. "I'm sorry my love, I promise I'll find out who did this to you and I'll kill him" he growled and pulled her close again, his gaze returning to a nervous Jungkook and worried Namjoon.

"I called Dr. Sang" Jungkook murmured and Jin nodded. "Come on baby, let's get you back to bed until the doctor comes?" he tried to lead her upstairs, but it seemed to unlock the door to another bout of hysteria. Nao shook her head in horror, her breathing beginning to come in short gasps again, her horrified look begging him not to bring her back upstairs. "No, please, just not there..." Nao breathlessly whispered and Jin looked up at Jungkook and Namjoon. "Pooh is in your bedroom" Namjoon mumbled and Jin's face darkened with anger.

"Okay, come on, you're going to lie down on the couch in my office, okay?" his look was completely different as he talked to her and looked at her and Namjoon couldn't help but wonder what exactly his friend was capable of for his sister. Nao nodded uncertainly and Jin smiled reassuringly. "Good girl" he praised her and picked her up in his arms, carrying her to his office. Namjoon followed them and sat on one of the chairs, and Jin on the couch with Nao on his lap. "I want you to breathe, baby, for me, okay?" he gently brushed her hair back and showered kisses on her face.

"There you go,my love" Jin placed her hand on his chest and slowly began to breathe in and out. "Again" he gently rested his forehead against hers and she obeyed his every word. "There, this is my beautiful baby" Nao even managed a small smile, closing her eyes and resting her head on his shoulder. "The doctor's here" Jungkook announced from the office door and gave Nao a worried look. Dr. Sang examined her, but since she had no physical injuries, he only gave her a soothing before leaving.

Jin and Namjoon silently waited for the medicine to work and Nao to fall asleep, before Jin carefully laid her down on the couch and left the office, leaving his brother-in-law to watch over his wife for a bit while he saw exactly what had happened in the bedroom. "How did they get into my house?" Namjoon looked up from his sister's face to Jin's, who walked around the couch, made sure Nao was sleeping soundly, and sat behind his desk.

"I don't know, but she was terrified" Namjoon shook his head, turning his chair so he was facing Jin and his back to the couch where his sister was sleeping. "I will sell the house and Nao and I will move to the apartment, it will be easier for security there and nothing will remind her of what happened" he shook his head, gritting his teeth. "If you want, can you come to my place?" Namjoon suggested but Jin shook his head. "There are times when I want to be alone with my wife Namjoon, knowing you're in the other room, no thanks" Jin peered over Namjoon's shoulder and sighed. "I'll kill him for that" his teeth gritted angrily.

"You're really in love with my sister aren't you?" Namjoon asked with a small smile. "It's much more than that" Jin shook his head, his face softening. "She's the most beautiful thing on the planet, her laugh, those dimples, the sparkle in her eyes kills me, her voice makes me feel like I'm flying in the clouds" he leaned back and closed his eyes for a moment. "I'll never be able to thank you for making me marry her" Nao faltered and Namjoon and Jin immediately tensed, but she just turned over in her sleep.

"Ahhhh, I admit I'm impressed. I didn't expect a man like you to fall for a girl like my sister" Namjoon smiled, but his smile quickly faded. "However, we need to quickly figure out how we're going to deal with Woobin" Jin sighed. "I can't understand, if he wants you, us, why did he target Nao since she has nothing to do with our way of life?" Namjoon leaned his head back, closed his eyes and rubbed his temples. "You said it yourself hyung, you can't live without her and you'd never let anyone hurt her, me either. She's our weakness and she's paying for it" he sighed and Jin bit his lip.

"Maybe we can get together in the apartment building, that way we'll have security for everyone and there'll always be more than one of us there? Jimin already lives there with Tia anyway, so Nao will have female company as well?" Namjoon suggested and Jin thought about it. "It's not a bad idea, I think Tia and Nao will like each other very much, their characters are almost the same" Jin snorted. "Also, I'll have more opportunities to spend time with Nao, and you'll have your own private space!" Namjoon's face lit up with enthusiasm.

"And I can work from home with a conference call" Jin nodded, considering the possibilities. "I'll just take Tina, she'll handle the apartment herself, so Nao will have enough time for both of us. I think it'll work out, call the others, tell them the plan, I have to deal with the mess upstairs" Namjoon nodded, stood up and kissed Nao on the forehead before setting about arranging to move everyone into an apartment building.

Jin stared at the sleeping Nao, he had mostly seen her in this state for the past few days. They had barely spoken, except for a few sleepy mumbles from her when he came home and laid down next to her and he missed her like hell. His father's company was now back on track, but there was still some paperwork that required his exact attention, and Jin was doing his best to finish it as quickly as possible, so he spent much of the night and throughout the day in the office,depriving himself of sleep, just to be able to return to his wife and give her all his attention.

Much earlier, he should have considered starting to work from home and go out only for meetings that cannot be postponed. And the more he watched Nao sleep, peaceful only because of the sedative that Dr. Sang had given her, the more guilty he felt that in trying to get back to her as quickly as possible, he had actually left her alone, in the care of the others and she had to live through this horror. And he didn't want to think about how she would react when she woke up and remembered what she saw, and about Pooh.

Jin ran a hand through his hair, Namjoon was right about Nao being their weakness, she was too innocent for his world, but giving her up wasn't an option, he'd rather burn the whole damn world than not see her for a day . However, Woobin's psychic attacks on her were not something she could handle easily, and if Jin didn't find out who his person in the house was, it could end up being something much worse than a murdered cat.
