Taehyung opened his eyes, feeling lightheaded. He blinked, trying to adjust himself to the darkness that welcomed him.

He moved in an attempt to stand but he couldn't, realizing that he's tied on a post, his mouth taped, preventing him from making any sound.

Taehyung was so scared, not understanding how he ended up in this situation. He remembered he was with Jin, going to the airport but in the middle of the way, he suddenly fell asleep after drinking the water Jin had offered him.

He could feel his heart thumping off his chest as he struggled to remove the ties on his wrist.

What's going on?

The sound of an incoming footsteps made him flinch as a man slowly emerged from the darkness.

He stiffened, seeing his familiar built as he went closer, stopping in front of him with an evil smile plastered on his lips.

Taehyung's eyes widened, not understanding why Jin is standing in front of him doing nothing to help.

Hyung..

"Finally you're awake." Jin uttered, ducking to level his face. He smirked, seeing the horror in his eyes.

"Hmmppph!" Taehyung struggled, working on removing the rope tied in his wrists.

"Don't fight too much. I want this to end without making you feel so much pain." Jin reached out for the tape in Taehyung's mouth, forcefully removing it.

Taehyung gasped as soon as his mouth was freed, his wary eyes darted on the older who was smiling at him.

However, it's not his usual sweet and warm smile. He's smiling at him, but it didn't reach his eyes.

"Jin-hyung... what's going on?" He asked, not wanting to entertain the possibilities in his mind.

The older scoffed. "Do you really want me to spell it out for you? Are you that dumb now?"

Taehyung gulped, seeing this familiar man in front of him change into someone he barely knows.

What happened to his sweet and caring hyung?

"Please.. hyung.. you're scaring me. Why are you doing this?" Taehyung fought the urge to tear up.

"You dare ask why?" Jin gritted his teeth.

"While you were living a life showered with all the love and affection, I had to grow up without none!" Jin accused, making Taehyung confused.

"I- what do you mean.. hyung?" Taehyung looked at his pained face.

"Yes, you should really be calling me that." Jin scorned, clenching his fist in anger.

Taehyung was so lost. He couldn't understand where his anger is coming from.

Jin smiled at him, his anger vividly plastered on his face.

"All along...I thought my own parents hated me. I've never experienced their love when I was growing up. They fed and sheltered me, but they never made me feel loved." Jin breathed hard, controlling his emotions.

"Until I learned the real reason last year." Jin uttered.

"They couldn't love me fully because I'm not their son."

Taehyung gasped, feeling the sadness behind Jin's anger.

"And you know who my real father is?" Jin towered above him, eyes showing no affection.

Taehyung gulped, trying to put the pieces together. He gazed at the older, eyes wide when he realized what he was implying.

Jin saw the answer in his face, making him smirk. "That's right. I'm your hyung, my lovely brother."

Taehyung doesn't know what to say. He was lost for words, seeing Jin's evil smile.

"I was your father's son out of wedlock. A child he never wanted." Jin fumed.

"He gave me away like a dog just because your mother couldn't accept that he had an illegitimate child!" He seethed in anger.

"And you know what pained me the most?" Jin was in the verge of tears.

"When I confronted him and begged for the truth, he denied me as his son. Until the end, he couldn't acknowledge me as his own."

A tear fell from his eyes, remembering how he was treated like a trash by his own father.

He just wanted to be loved, but it seemed that he doesn't deserve it.

"For him, you're his only son." Jin sadly uttered.

"And what better way to hurt him than to take away his most precious son's life." Jin turned to get a gun with a silencer.

Taehyung was horrified. He tried freeing his wrist, but failed. He looked around, his bag nowhere to be found.

If only he had it with him, he could get the pocket knife Jungkook had given him.

Taehyung suddenly halted, a realization hitting him hard when he thought of the ravenette.

Jungkook could track him!

Oh God! Please Jungkook!

He looked at Jin who's walking his way back to him. He needs to buy time.

"Hyung please! Even if you kill me, you won't be able to get away with this. Jimin will be looking for me at the airport.. He will find out -"

"You think I'm dumb?" Jin smirked, fingers playing with the gun.

He fished out a cellphone from his pocket and Taehyung held his breath at the sight.

It's his phone but it was already turned off.

No!

"I already texted him through your phone and he wouldn't be able to come." Jin grinned.

Taehyung felt his hopes crumble to pieces. If the phone was turned off, Jungkook wouldn't be able to track him down.

"Please, hyung.. Even if you get away, he will eventually find out." He reasoned out, trying to think of a way to get out of the situation he's in.

"That is, if they can find me." Jin smirked. "I'll be out of this country after I finish you here."

"Everyone thinks you're dead Taehyung. Only me, Jimin and those mother fucking assassins know that you're alive." Jin lifted the gun, aiming it to Taehyung's head.

"Do you think anyone will believe them, especially now that they have Judy So in their custody?" Jin smirked evilly.

"Everything is going according to my plan, Tae. I was starting to live a good life until you showed up, alive and breathing." Jin shakes his head in annoyance.

"If you just kept yourself hidden, then everything would have been fine." He added, his finger lightly pressed on the trigger.

"But that's okay. Now I could kill you with my own hands." He looked at Taehyung's eyes, full of nothing but fear.

"Your death wouldn't affect anyone, anymore, Taehyung. Your parents are already suffering just like how I wanted them to be."

"No.. Please hyung!" Taehyung begged, tears cascading down his sorrowful eyes.

Jin stared at Taehyung, smiling sadly at him.

"It would've been nice to have you as my brother, Tae." Jin said in a soft voice.

Taehyung sobbed, feeling his whole body tremble.

"Hyung.. We can still be a family. It's not too late. Don't do this.. I'm begging you." Taehyung closed his eyes, desperately wishing everything to be a dream.

"It's too late now, Tae. Your death is the only way for me to live." Jin went back to put the tape in his mouth.

"Don't scream too much." He added moving away.

In one pull of the trigger, Taehyung found himself writing in pain as blood gushed out of his right arm.

He cried for mercy, but everything was muffled by the tape covering his mouth.

"See? It won't hurt so much if you just stay still." Jin pulled the trigger once more, hitting Taehyung's left leg.

Muffled wails of pain and cries left Taehyungs lips, feeling the searing pain almost making him numb.

He looked at Jin who aimed at his head this time.

"Please die this time."

Taehyung braced himself, accepting his fate. He thought of Jungkook and his pained face if he learned everything that happened to him.

Jungkook..

He closed his eyes, letting the images of the man he dearly loved cloud his mind before his very last breath.

Loud crashing sounds erupted from his hazy state.

Everything happened in a whim when loud gunshots resonated inside the place, making Taehyung tremble.

Taehyung tried fighting off the dizziness to look around. He opened his eyes, seeing Jin limping on the ground with blood on his stomach and thighs.

He felt his heart beat rapidly, mind going blank when he finally saw Jungkook's face in front of him.

"Tae! Oh God!"

Taehyung doesn't know if he's hallucinating. He felt his hand tapping his face, wanting him to stay awake.

"You're okay, baby. Please stay with me." Jungkook continues to keep him awake, removing the tape in his mouth.

"J-Jungkook?" Taehyung called out, finally having a clearer look of the man in front of him.

"Yes, I'm here for you." Jungkook cupped his face.

"H-how?" He uttered, feeling Jungkook remove the ties on his wrists and ankles.

"I told you, I'll find you wherever you are." Jungkook placed a soft kiss on his forehead.

Loud sounds of sirens filled the surroundings, making Taehyung flinch.

"Let's get out of h-"

Taehyung blinked his eyes when the ravenette couldn't finish his sentence.

He looked at Jungkook's face, eyes widening in shock at the sight. His body began shaking when blood oozed out of the ravenette's chest, body falling toward him in a slow motion.

His breathing faltered, seeing Jin desperately clasping a gun pointed to Jungkook.

"No!"

Taehyung screamed in horror when another bullet struck Jungkook's back. His world crumbled down in front of him, seeing Jungkook's body fall in his arms.

"J-Jungkook!" He cried out, hysterically embracing the ravenette in his arm.

"No! Please!" He cried out as the ravenette's blood paint his hands.

Jin was about to fire once more when a bullet grazed on his arm, making him drop the gun.

"Freeze!"

The police suddenly came barging in, quickly restraining Jin. They scurried inside, guns pointing forward.

Officer Namjoon stopped on his tracks, not believing his eyes, seeing Dr. Kim Taehyung on the floor, alive.

He trusted his instincts when he received the text message from Jimin and went to the location he gave. He responded to the call, disregarding how impossible it may seem.

And seeing Dr. Kim right now made him feel relief wash over him.

"No! Please wake up!" Taehyung held Jungkook's body next to him, his tears blinding him.

He forgot about everything that's happening around at the sight of Jungkook coughing blood out of his mouth.

The world seemed to stop and nothing made sense to him than Jungkook. He was out of his mind when a hand lifted him up, helping him to stand.

He doesn't know what's happening, seeing Jungkook's body being lifted away from him.

It's like he became deaf.

Feeling nothing.

In his hazy state, he saw Jungkook's body being placed on a stretcher with his eyes closed.

Jungkook..

This was the last image in his mind when he lose consciousness, his body falling on the floor.
