On top of Jimin having suspicions over those letters that were coming from Hoseok, Jimin also recalls an event which happened about 3 years Ago (Part 1)

One day or should he say a certain midnight hour about 3 years ago, Jimin woke up again from another one of those nightmares. He had joined the sports team at his school and they were finally given a half day in a long time so Jimin returned home early and went straight to bed still in his uniform and shoes feeling tired and drained. Therefore his uncle had no idea he was in the house.

Jimin slept throughout the day time and woke up only in the middle of the night removing his shoes and violently throwing them aimlessly anywhere. He then tiptoed unintentionally due to the wooden floor feeling slightly cold under his bare feet to go splash some cold water on his face to wash away some of his sweat from the nightmare.

He felt annoyed to have that same nightmare again disturbing his sleep and darkening the bags under his eyes because he couldn't get any proper sleep.

He will have to depend on more of those pills to help him sleep because the two tablets the doctor prescribed for him to take at a time don't seem to be working for him anymore.

He was on his way back from the bathroom when he heard the heated argument his uncle was having on the phone with someone in the Kitchen.

Jimin could only hear his uncle's side of their conversation and something drove him to go and listen in on the conversation which isn't something he would normally do. But he felt like a pair of invincible hands was pushing him forward to go and eavesdrop.

His uncle was using the old fashion Telephone with the wire connections that they had in the house instead of a wireless handset.

~ (His Uncle's side of the conversation) ~

''What the fuck do you mean?''

''Oh my God! Tell me it isn't what I am thinking right now? Tell me you two didn't cross that line?''

''You-You.... I'm fuckin disappointed! I cannot for the life of me 'BELIEVE' you would stoop that low THAT you would actually go that far! I don't even know who you are anymore.''

''NO!! Don't you dare fuckin give me that bullshit right now!... I am here... racking my brains... thinking about how to explain everything to YOUR SON! How to FUCKIN tell your boy that he only has his big sis now TO CALL FAMILY that he is able to see... and I worried myself just thinking and thinking over and over for many sleepless nights prolonging things because I dreaded giving your boy the bad news. The fucking news stuck at the back of my throat strangling and choking me. Huh?''

''TCH...Have you any idea how I have been living this whole time when I did not hear a single word back from you?''

''I expected all of you to run away along with your boy yet when the car turns up I only see your son and one of your daughters accompanying him without any sign of you or the rest of the family. Can you fuckin imagine how shocked and scared I was?

''NO! YOU CAN'T!! ...I spend all day every day, panicked, worried, thinking about what might have happened when I got away from that evil town leaving the rest of you behind, replaying and repeating the same consequences of my escape that cost our parent and other siblings live with just the exception of you luckily brushing death. I seriously worried sick that you were ALL fuckin GONE JUST LIKE MA, PA AND OUR OTHER SIBLINGS! Fucking having sleepless nights over the idea that I won't be able to hear from you ever again and my heart aches. (Rapidly inhales)''

''D- Do you know, I really truly believed to have lost ...to have lost the only surviving member of my direct family huh .... So I ....fuckin' locked me in ...and I ... and ...I kept crying in turmoil...thinking...thinking that I would have to shoulder all of these deaths forever huh? ....Did you stop to think about your son's feeling huh? ....Did you stop to think how badly it will affect him when he realized the truth, how much it will kill him inside knowing that someone innocent had to pay a big price on his behalf for the rest of his life and I know because I was once just like him too? ....Have you any idea how hard it is to live in my shoes?''

''No-No that's right you fucking DON'T!!! All you ever think about is yourself you selfish BASTARD! I don't even know who you are anymore'' He pants heavily and hiccupped in between his words.

Jimin's uncle shakily bit his lips to hold back the tears but he couldn't stop his voice and lips from trembling. Both his palms are sweaty making the handphone constantly slipping from his tight-fisted hold.

''I-I (He takes a big gulp) I...I try my best avoiding YOUR SON while we all live in the same house by locking myself in my room most of the time and suddenly the phone rings. Knowing that the three of us living in this house don't ever use the landline and also seeing that none of your children are around – at least I haven't heard or seen any sign of either of them in the house- so I had no idea who would be calling this line at this time of the night. I cautiously made my way to the phone with my heart in my throat for some reason. Then after I eventually got to check out who had called this line at this time of the night and guess what? Fuckin low and behold it is your damn number that only you and I used to secretly use to keep in touch.''

''HA! Hahaha! (He laughed like an insane person) I fuckin thought... the silly me fuckin assumed a ghost was calling me with this number – I honestly thought you were all dead and gone - and I was being hunted but-but (suddenly chokes from a searing ache) urge .... (He heaves) ARRRHHHHHHHHHHHH!'' breathing quickens slightly from intense pain and anger.

''Why didn't you contact me before huh? Why fucking wait for a whole 5yrs to contact me back? Then after deeming that it is 'ok' for you to finally get back to me do you now choose to call AND tell me this sick joke... urge.... , this unforgivable thing you allowed your so-called 'kind wife', whom you claim is an angel, coerce you into doing such a satanic deed huh? You absolute monster! ''

''Can you fuckin explain to me which part of what you just said to me that you two have done made you think you're no better than that sick fuckin town huh? ... ''

''So then why do it hyung? Why would you do it? Why would you choose to go ahead with such a wicked plan hmm? Just ... WHY!!!! .... why-why-why-why-why... I said TELL ME FUCKIN' WHY!!!''

''OH HUSH! Your stinking fowl mouth ... NO! I WILL TALK TO YOU HOWEVER I CHOOSE TO. I don't care for you anymore. Your heart is black to me now. There is no respect here for you; I will no longer see you as my beloved hyung. .......''

''SO WHAT!!!''

''Are you saying it is for the sake of your bloody son? Is that what you are telling me?''

''What about the victim, Isn't he also a son of his parents? Isn't he also a precious human being no matter how his relationship was with his parent?''

''That doesn't justify what you guys did OK? You guys aren't fuckin' GODS to decide who deserves to live and who doesn't?''

''STOP FOR FUCK SAKE!! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY TO TRY AND JUSTIFY YOU AND YOUR WIFE'S ACTIONS SO WHY DON'T YOU STOP TALKIN HUH!! Just FUCKIN Excuses anyway; excuses, excuses that... (A sudden unexpected short hiccup breaks through his yells cutting his sentence short for a second).... IT DOESN'T FUCKIN CHANGE WHAT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HAVE DONE TO THEM!!! .... To-to-... to that innocent boy .... Why-how urge...'' He weeps devastatingly into his hands crumbling down, dragging the phone receiver away from his ears.

He felt a strong shooting pain from his chest to his abdomen and struggle to keep standing up. Panting hard he continues to shout through the phone yelling at the one on the other side.

'' YOU KNOW WHAT, DON'T FUCKIN CONTACT ME EVER AGAIN YOU HEAR ME! YOU CAUSED YOUR OWN SHIT AND NOW LIVE WITH YOUR GUILT. Your wife doesn't deserve my sympathy nor do you. The only one who has my sympathy is your poor son. I FEEL SORRY THAT HE CALLS PEOPLE LIKE YOU HIS PARENTS! – (BANGGGG)''

Jimin's uncle violently bangs the phone handle hard against the edge of the Kitchen table before banging the handle back on the receiver and immediately ending the call harshly in the process.

To be continued....
