Chapter 25: Lonely Boys Pt. 1

'Because you and I are born different, you were born with human skin but a wicked heart. But I was born with the skin of the devil and a frozen heart.'

Past

"So this is the weak min yoongi?" A little boy had called out a skinny tiny boy. The cat's eyes-like eyes stare at those gleaming vicious eyes. How could someone so little be so cruel? Has the world changed for the worst?

The tiny skinny boy's eyes tremble in fear. He didn't like being in his skin, the fragile porcelain figure, his slim body. He looks like a doll—a punching bag for somebody else.

"I don't have anything...."

"You not wrong. Someone like you doesn't deserve to have anything!" the little boy could hear their laughter.

"You wrong!" Anyone passing by could hear his little screams, "Mommy told me I deserve to be happy. I will be happy!"

"No... your mom is wrong!" they throw another insult, "Your mother is dead. My daddy said no dead human can talk!"

The little boy couldn't help but cry as he sat down. He couldn't say anything. The other kids thought it was a sign of defeat. They begin to kick the little boy to the ground. That is, until a rock suddenly when flying.

Hitting a kid's arm, the bullies couldn't help but hear their friend's sudden cry. More tiny rocks came flying; they all ran screeching. Still shielding himself from the attack, the skinny boy curled up even more to the ground.

Afraid the attacker might come for him next.

"You... you are in big trouble!" A tiny girl shouts from a distance. The crying boy could only look up at a familiar voice.

"Yoonji?"

"Yoongi... Are you okay?" Taehyung, who was struggling to walk beside Yoongi, was concerned. Nobody had talked on their way out of the place. Nobody could say anything else. It was still a shock for all of them.

From the fights to Hoseok's final moments. When is it going to end if this keeps on happening?

Everyone had a grim face; the guilt bore on some of their faces was visible in the group until Taehyung looked at Anne, who had a blank face. She was barely walking in Yoongi's arms.

Both are barely hanging on.

"Anne..." Seokjin, who was still bruised, decided to walk beside her. She looked up at him before she ran into his arms. Seokjin, who stumbles a bit, opens his arms in delight when he sees her. A few bruises couldn't stop him from smiling seeing your head buried in his chest.

He made a mistake once, and he wanted to make things right. That night, he tried to let everything go. He had promised himself that he was going to go down. He'll need the courage to do so.

"So help me, I will bring everyone down after I'm with all of this," Yoongi seethes, "Jungkook will be the first head I will look for after finding the people I've been looking for."

"and who will that be?" Taehyung asked.

"You don't need to know you –"

"Yoongi," Seokjin slowly talks to Yoongi, who looks back. "I found something. While I was trapped here, I found something that I think belongs to you."

"And that is?"

"Seokjin... the room...."

"I managed to run through some places and took some stuff." Everyone was trying to bandage themselves or anything that could help them survive the night any longer. Taehyung was taking his bandage off to see the gunshot still fresh. He was not hissing in pain, but his eyes spoke a thousand curses and scream.

Seokjin was thankfully sore throughout his body. Jungkook was kind enough not to batter his body too much. Yoongi? He was pacing left and right.

"Here..." Seokjin placed a voice recorder on the table as Yoongi was about to grab it. Seokjin took it in his hands.

"I respect you, Min Yoongi. As a profiler for thousands of criminals, you were clean. Too clean, and I didn't know how you ended up in this horrible place –" Seokjin stops –"But now I know. I hope you listen to it and understand what it means."

(Recording)

"Stop..." Yoongi took the recording, hurriedly pressing the button to stop. "I need to know who that person is, move."

"Yoongi... the Yoonji, who you had told me about, is not like that," you reason. Yoongi was starting not to listen, "remember how you would say she had the biggest heart?"

"Don't succumb to the temptation. I know you -"

"You don't know who I am...." Yoongi sneered, "You don't know how many people have slipped from my arms!"

"She is the only person who had to believe in me. She was my anchor, and those sick people took her away from me," Yoongi sat down as a single tear threatened to fall.

"And I promise myself. I will find the person who killed her that night!" Yoongi was beginning to see red.

"That is never right, Yoongi," Seokjin held you in his arms, "you know that... revenge is never the answer. Yoonji is not like that, and you know that."

"Oh, fucking shut up!" Yoongi said, his breath started to rage, "You'll do anything for your loved one, right? You love her but dragged her into this mess –"pointing at you.

You step up in front of yoongi before slapping him in the cheeks. Everyone was quiet. You were very close with Yoongi, and everyone knew that even Taehyung, who had been with you for a while, knew you were like soulmates, "Yoongi... you've gone too far. Do you think any of us wanted this?"

"Our fate wasn't even supposed to meet with each other if it wasn't for this mess! Not me, Seokjin and even Jungkook wanted this, and you know that."

Yoongi, who was quiet, looked at you before his eyes met yours, "Then whose fucking fault is it? Who can I blame for this unfortunate event?"

"Is blaming someone the right choice? The revenge you are thirsty for will make you better after you did?" You asked.

Yoongi, not looking at you, begins walking to a corner before hitting his knuckles on the wall creating a bang.

"Yes. The fucker who did those horrible things to Yoonji will pay." Without another way, he walked his way far from you. You were losing sight of Yoongi, who was eaten by the shadows of the gloomy mansion.

"That little bitch has problems," Seokjin grumbles in annoyance. You sat beside him, trying to calm him down. You were chuckling in your heart. He grumbled, cursing inside his head over a stubborn cat.

You were all piled into Jimin's old office, trying to bandage everyone back. Taehyung was lying on one of the sofas, and Seokjin was with you in the corner.

You were trying to help Seokjin with his bruise. He was trying hard not to wheeze in pain, cursing Jungkook's name.

"You... are going to make Jungkook's ears bleed if you keep cursing his name, "you said, and Seokjin stopped. He shrugs before wrapping his arms around your waist.

"Let him... it's not like he needs those ears. He's a handful, and a pain in the ass –"Seokjin breathes in –"ungrateful ass."

You pat Seokjin's head, who was quiet before he let you go. He sat you down beside him as he stared into your eyes.

"You can now see," He said, "I guess Jimin isn't that bad."

"Wait... How did you know I couldn't see," you asked him.

"Jungkook, of course," Seokjin snickered," even after trying so hard to escape, I had prayed every day Hoseok wasn't that stupid. Jungkook had your location everywhere you went. Until you landed in Sri Lanka, he had lost your location," Seokjin said, "Jungkook started to kill his way, finding anyone who could locate your location. He had thrown his anger away; I was in bad shape until he found you again. To my surprise, here in Korea."

Sri Lanka was the last stop you had before finally landing in Bali and staying for a while. Since then it's been months since you moved there.

"Here, I thought Hoseok's possessive ass had lost his mind when he had brought you back. But seeing you beside Yoongi and possibly alive Taehyung was even worst," Seokjin chuckles, "I felt you were behind why you all came back."

"Would you be mad if I said yes?" you timidly asked, and he shook his head.

"No... by now, I don't know whether to thank you or be mad at you. I'm risking everything for you not to return, but I can't help to think if you didn't," He chuckles.

A/N: Hello! another chapter, this time,  is the maestro arc. I wanted to spice things a bit, so a youtube recording of the tapes is unlisted so.... you'll need the link to be able to hear it. Tell me if the links are not working!
