JENNIE POV.
I sit across jeonhan who's calmly sipping his tea.

"What do you wanna talk about?"

"Sebastian..."

His eyebrow quirks.

"I want to know why he's like that to me. Why is he the harshest with me?"

Jeonghan silently places the teacup on the talbe and stands up. He searches something in his drawer and he came back with a folder in his hand. He handed the folder to me and i just look up at him.

"Take a look at that."

I grab the folder and open it while jeonghan returns to his seat.

There are two pictures: a man and a woman.

What surprised me is that they have the same last name with me and... I look just like the woman in the picture.

"What?"

"Those are your parents."

I snap my eyes to him.
I can't believe what he just said.

"A-Are they..."

"They're dead."

I gasp silently. I look down at the picture of my parents and scan the paper attached to it. They're researches, but they're assaulted which leads to their death. The suspect are the other researcher they work with. Apparently, they're using children from the orphanage as their test subject which are considered illegal.

My parents are opposed to the idea of using children and that's how the problem started.

'Why...why does this sound familiar. It can't be...'

"But don't worry, Sebastian punished those other researchers by putting the research lab they use to work at on fire."

Somehow i am having mixed feelings.

If it wasn't for Sebastian, Taehyung wouldn't have escaped and probably be gone due to the chemicals inside him.

'But it's not like Sebastian did that out of kindness in his heart. Who knows, Taehyung and Yuna might actually die in there if it wasn't for their luck.'

"Wait...what do you mean by punished? What did my parents has something to do with Sebastian?"

"Your mother is supposed to be Milord's wife. They're engaged. Actually, it's an arranged marriage. Believe it or not, Sebastian loves your mother very much. He treated her very nicely. Your mother is his weakness. But your mother doesn't love Milord and cheated on him with your father. Imagine Milord's rage when he heard that. He wants your father dead. But he can't kill him knowing your mother would hate him. So he can only hate your father...and 'you'."

I don't know what to say to that. I just stare at the picture of my parents and caress it.

"So that's why he hates me."

Jeonghan looks at me sympathicaly.

"He's letting out all of his anger on me."

I smile wryly.

"If he hates seeing me that much, why did he even adopted me? He could just...let me go so he won't get annoyed whenever he sees me."

"Because you look like you're mother."

"So what?!"

"He loves you mother very much..."

I look up at jeongha then snicker.

"Your point is?"

"He cares for you."

"Bullshit."

"Believe me---"

"He's a'monster'!"

"Jennie--"

"All he did was torture me and you're saying he cares for me?! Well, if that's what you meant by caring then wow, i fucking felt it, straight to the bones. It even left ugly scars."

I spit out with venom. I can feel my blood boiling. My whole body is trembling and i clench my fists tightly.

"Jennie, if he doesn't care for you, he wouldn't killed you."

"No, he won't. Not especially if i look just like the person he loves the most."

That shut jeonghan up.

"Stop saying he cares for me 'cause that's all a lie! If he really cares for me, then..."

I didn't know that there are tears flowing down on my face. My lips are quivering

"...I wouldn't suffer this much."

I whispered, but jeonghan surely heard it.

"Jennie."

I try to calm down. I wipe some of my tears before giving him a blank look.

"Anyway, thanks for telling me. There's something i need to look at in the file room, can i borrow your key card?"

Jeonghan gives me a look.

"There's something you need to look at?"

He gives me an 'and what would be your bussines with that' look.

"I want to look at some information about the people i killed...for improvement purposes."

"Hm, there's something i need to fix there so come with me."

He stands up and motions for me to come. I have no choice to come with him since this might be my only chance this time. Jeonghan went to the W files section. I try to act casual by trying to look around.

"The files here are not organized. It's hard to look for Yuna's file. I should've asked jihoon to get it for me. But i'm sure he won't do it."

I mutter to myself.

"Hm? Did you say something?"

"I kinda lost. I don't know where to find the file i need."

I gave him a smile, fake smile and he went back to what he's doing before. He grabs a folder that has 'KIM YUNA' written on the front. My eyes widen when i see him holding the file i am looking for.

'What is he doing with that?'

I clear my throat and walk up beside him.

"What are you here for by the way?"

"This is my case..."

He motions of the folder. My eyes widen as i can feel my heart beats faster.

"You...you killed kim Yuna?"

"Hm? Yeah?!"

He answer casually. I blink once, then twice, and thrice.

'No way. He's the one who killed...'

I am surprised at that new information. All along, the person who killed Yuna the innocent Yuna is the person i respect the most.

I can't believe it.

But what i can't believe even more what he said next...

"She's not supposed to be in the W files. She's supposed to be in the X.A. Files."

"What?"

I can't help but to raise my tone a little.

'X.A. files are the target's accomplice...meaning...'

"She's... also a bad person?"

I am having a mental breakdown right now

"Yeah. I don't even know who put her here in the W files. She's not witness, she's an accomplice."

I let out a silent laugh of disbelief.

'Kim Yuna...damn.'

I lick my dry lips and heave a sigh.

'Now...Taehyung will SURELY be upset if he hears about this.'

I gulp thickly and turn around.

"I'm leaving.

"Oh, are you done?"

"Yes."

I walk away with those steps, wanting to go away from that place when jeonghan's voice stops me.

"Talk to Milord. There's something else you need to know."

I groan and harsly push back my hair.

There are so many things going in my head, i don't even know what to think anymore. I try to take a couple of deep breaths, trying to clear my head.

'It's normal for Taehyung to get upset if he heard about Yuna. Also, what should i do about Sebastian now? Should i go talk to him? But i never had a normal conversation with him. He's always yelling at me to get out of his face or something.'

I just sigh continue to walk.

'Should i go to Milord now? But this is the last step now. It's either I die or live.'

But i need to see Taehyung first. I want to spend this whole with him before talking to Sebastian. As i walk, i didn't realize that i am in Taehyung's neighborhood. I spot a flower shop nearby and my feet brings me there without me thinking. I spotted a freesia on the displays and i have this urge to buy it for Taehyung.

"Can i help you, Miss?"

A florist came beside me with a warm smile.

"I want this, please."

I point at the freesia and the florist nods. I head to the cashier to pay for it. I open my wallet. Just then, the florist exclaims an 'oh' and pointd at my wallet.

"Is that... Mr. And Mrs. Kim?"

"Huh?"

I look at where the florist is pointing and saw the picture of my parents in my wallet. Then i look back at the florist with wide eyes.

"You know them?"

"I know Mr. Kim, he used to be a professor in a medical school. He's a very intelligent and kind man, I tell you but oh, are you their daughter?"

"Yes!"

"Oh, sorry for your loss? It must be hard to lose your parents."

"Actually, can you tell me more about my parents? Do you know where they used to live?"

"Your father used to be my regular customer here. He always buys flower for your mother. And when they moved, I just have to deliver the flower to him since they live so far away."

The florist went to grab a pen and paper.

"You need to go on a bus, then walk..."

He scribbles something on the paper.

"Here..."

He gives me the paper and i accept it. I look at what he drew and realizes it's a map how to go to my parent's house.

"They...live far away from the cilivization."

'It's perfect.'

Finally, i feel like my one step ahead is my goal.

I finally have a place to stay with Taehyung. I can't wait to tell Taehyung about this.

'It there's bad news then there's good news.'

I look at the florist with a big smile.

"Thank you."

"Of course."

He smiles back and hands me the freesia. I take it and run towards my place.

"Taehyung!"

I slam the door open and look for Taehyung. A huge smiles is drawn on my face. Taehyung stops what he's doing the moment he heard my voice. Thinking he's in trouble. My eyes landed on Taehyung with a nail polish and a book in his hand.

"Wait, what are you doing?"

"Trying not to be bored."

"With...'that' ?"

He purse his lips.

"Did i cause a mess?"

"Not really, but..."

'Where did that nail polish come from?? I didn't know i own one.'

"Anyway...I found a place where we can be safe."

He looks at me quizzically.

"Where?"

"My parent's house."

Surprise is written on his face.

"I have a map, but i haven't seen the house yet."

"That's great!"

"I know!"

I said excitedly, but that excitement vanished immediately when i began to think about Sebastian.

'Jeonghan said there's something else i need to know. I wonder what it is.'

I try not to think much about what he said. I want to focus on Taehyung.

"Jennie, i want to ask you something."

There he goes again, his serious face and voice.

"What is it?"

"Do you...really hate your job?"

I fell silent as i began to think.

I don't feel anything when i kill someone since i know that they're bad and they need to be gone for world's peace. What i don't like is involving innocent people. And also, Sebastian.

There's nothing more i can do to express how much i hate Sebastian.

"Sometimes."

"Then why quit and be in danger? You're gonna risk your like if you quit your job."

"I'm tired of being caged. Being an assassin is not that great as it sounds like. Well, for me it's not great since they're treating me differently. And i want to do something else for living."

I sigh as i began to think about it.

"Besides, I'm determined to become free now."

"But if you quit, are you gonna be free?"

I pause.

"If quitting is the only way to be free, then why do we need to hide?"

It's my turn to purse my lips.

I never think of it that way. I just thought that i'll be free from Sebastian if i quit my job, but...

'He's right. Why do i need to hide after i quit my job?'

I don't know how to answer that.

"Well...don't you want a place that's peaceful? Don't you want to forget this place and create a new identity? We've always want to start a new life right? We're not hiding, we're just starting again."

I said, with determination as if trying to convince myself more than Taehyung.

"Then...when are you gonna quit?"

"Tomorrow."

"Then that means..."

"Taehyung, I want to spend this day with you. No worrying no sad feelings. Just us. Just be happy."

I walk up to him and sit down on the floor next to him. Taehyung bites his lower lip.

"Can you...can we do that?"

Taehyung didn't said anything for a while before sighing.

He lifts his face and i saw tears forming in his eyes.

"That's selfish, Jennie."

I feel hurt seeing him also hurt too.

"...this might be the last time we will be together."

I murmur.

He sniffle, trying to contain his tears. I cup his cheeks and wipe the tears away.

"No..."

"Please..."

I close my eyes, trying not to cry. I place my forehead against each other.

"I...I will do whatever I can to survive tomorrow. Taehyung..."

"Y-You can't say that for sure."

His voice breaks and my heart squeezes more painful than ever. His shoulder starts to shake as he tries not to whimper.

"I promise I'll survive..."

"Then quit now."

He pulls away with a glare.

"If you're so sure you'll survive, then we don't have to spend the whole day with just the two of us...! Go quit now."

"Taehyung..."

His voice is full of power and...sorrow.

"Go. Now!!"

Tears continue to stream down his beautiful face. His lips are quivering and his nose to get red. I can't help but to cry. We both know that we want to spend this day with each other.

Taehyung turns away from me as his whole body shakes from how hard he's crying. The freesia lies down the floor, forgotten.

'Taehyung...he's crying hard because of me.'

"What are you waiting for?! Go to Sebastian now and come back here safe and sound just like what you promised!"

I sob loudly as i reach up to him and wrap my arms behind him. But Taehyung harshly pushes my arms away. I let my arms dangle on my side as i look down.

We both hurting.

We both don't know what will happen if i go to Sebastian.

'But I promised Taehyung I'll survive...'

I feel exhausted, but i try to gather all of my strength to stand up. I turn around and head towards the door with shaky legs. I grab the doorknob before turning it.

'I promised him and I never break promises.'

With a fast beating heart, i step out of my place to go to the devils.
