Jimin got motionless. His eyes were breaking their sockets. He was seeing his father dying in front of his eyes and couldn't even yell for him.

"Ahaha...you can't leave us . Because you must be alive for this."
The guy who was continuously piercing the knife in his Father's back, said....
"Sorry buddy..but now we have to get your shares by your properties 'cuz we haven't forwarded them. We have no choice..."
He said with an artificial gloom,and then all of them laughed devilishly.

He then left his father to fall on floor. His father was not left with energy to even turn back and look at them.

Then all four of them headed to the main door. It was Jimin's good fortune that they couldn't see him and he had seen all the matter with his eyes.

As they left,Jimin rushed to his father....

"Appa..Appa get up..."
He held his Father's back of head and helped him rest his head onto his lap.

He was taking his last breaths.
He looked at his son...

"Jimin...m-my s-son I'm s-ssorry I c-ccouldn't save y-you and M-mmelissa. As..ask her t-to f-fforgive m-mme..."

He was continuously spitting blood because his liver was badly injured.

Jimin snivelled...

"N-nno Appa you'll be fine..don't lose hope...I'm gonna call the ambulance..."
As he tried to get up to call the ambulance..his father said,hardly..

"N-nno don't..I know I d-don't have m-much b-breaths to t-take...jus-just take c-care of your m-mother and d-don't l-let those b-bast-tards sn-natch your d-deserv-vings..."
His eyes were closing shut.

"Noo Appa..please open your eyes...."
Jimin yelled.
Just then,the telephone at the nearby table, rang.

.・゜゜・

When Hobi told me about Jimin,I just frowned. It was not like a grand party and we were having all night shits.
Nope..nothing like that, not at all.
Instead...it's just us friends..and I just had ordered their favourite foods and a cake to celebrate.
So...I picked up the reciever of my House's telephone to call him.
I dialed his phone number.
After a few seconds,the phone was picked...

"Hello I'm yoongi please hand over the phone to Jimin.."
I spoke up without letting the person on phone to say anything.

"H-hyung..."

It was Jimin..and..
What???
He was crying..???

"Jiminie..?!?! You okay..?!?!"
I asked him..why was he crying...?!?!

"What happened..."

"A-Appa...Appa is..."
He snivelled.

"Speak up Jiminie..."
I echoed curiously.

"Appa is not goo...Appa...!!!"
Just then, he screamed and I thought the receiver fell from his hand.

I put receiver on the cradle and rushed to his house,to see what just happened to him or his Appa.

I took my bicycle and paddled as fast as I could.

.・゜゜・

"Appa is not goo...Appa...!!!"
As Jimin was going to tell Yoongi, his father spat blood,again.

Receiver fell from his hand and on the floor. He leapt to his father.
Jimin put his head in his lap.
His eyes were shutting down.

"Appa open your eyes...."
He cried.
His father looked at his son for the last time,and took his last breath.

"Nooo Appa....don't die.....Appaa...!!!"
He echoed while crying.

"Nooo....please...."
And his Father's head swung aside.
His father died in his hands,in his lap.
And he couldn't do anything.

"Appa..please open your eyes..look at me Appa...!!"
He cried,jerking his father's shoulders.

He hugged his father, and cried like a child.

.・゜゜・

I entered his House's main gate and got off of my bicycle.
The atmosphere was deadly silent. My mind was alarming me about something very bad had happened.
I rushed inside Jimin's house and found him in the hall, with his father in his lap..dead.
He was crying. His eyes were red and eyelids swollen because of crying so much.
I leapt to him.

"Oh my God....!!!
Who did this..?!?!
Let's take your dad to hospital...c'mon quick...!!!"
I screamed as I went near them.

"T-those b-bastards...."
He stuttered between the sobs.

"Who...?!?!"
I asked....

"His partners...I was there..."
He pointed at a giant pillar..

"Before I could understand a bit...they killed him...they killed Appa..."
He spoke hardly and started sobbing again.

"Everything will be fine Jiminie...let's take him to hospital. He might be alive and get well."
I tried to console him,even though I knew he really was dead.

"It's no use hyung..I know Appa is not alive...he took his last breath in my lap,in my hands. I know Appa is dead."
He said while sobbing and as soon as he lifted his head to look at me,he froze.
I looked behind me and also froze...Mrs Park, Jiminie's mom, was standing behind me with frozen body and eyes fixed on his beloved husband who was not with them anymore.

"Eomma..."
As Jimin spoke up,his mom held her head in her hand and in a mili-second, she fainted and fell on the marbled pavement.

We both leapt to her,in order to help her come in senses.

.・゜゜・

Few Hours Later

All of us,Jiminie,His mom, me,Tae,Namjoon,Jin,Hoseok,and our families were in the grave yard.
We informed them when the funeral was ready.

Jimin and his mom were crying hard. Jimin's mom was whining...

"Oh sweetheart..if I knew you were going to leave us like this..I would've never left you alone in the house."

She was sobbing so hard that words were coming in broken form from her mouth..

"Oh how much you must had been wished for me to be with you at your last time...!!oh how unfortunate I am....!!!"

Jimin held his mom by her shoulders...

"Don't cry Eomma...you have me...I'm your good son aren't I..?! I'm here for you..I'll be with you always.."

He consoled his mom. None of us ever felt the young school boy had grown up...grown up enough to console his mother,to comfort her,to be her shield to fight the world.

The scene of those mother and son's consoling each other teared everyone's eyes present there.

The rituals of his dad's funeral had been perfomed and we all came back to our homes,leaving Jiminie and his mother in their house.

.・゜゜・

Everyone left them in their house. For how long can people wipe one's tears?! His Father's death was a horrible tragedy for them both. Their time was stopped..but the world has to carry on its job. It goes on, no matter what.

The next day, the newspapers were full of the headlines...

"Famous business tycoon Park TaeEun found mysteriously dead in his house."
They were tired of hearing and reading all this.

But his mother had also decided to take revenge for the painful murder of her husband. She was not going to sit peacefully until her husband's murderers would get theirs.

And for this purpose,she decided to contact their personal, family lawyer...Mr. Chang Suhyung.

She called him to her house to talk about it. Jimin was also there,for he was the only one who witnessed those gruesome scenes.

"I want to see them hanged Mr. Chang. I want to put a strong case on each one of them."
She said, while gritting her teeth.
They had told him everything about whatever had happened and what they wanted.
Those demons had bad eyes on their properties,because Jimin's father was the richest in shares and he had main character in their business of hotel dealings.
And they all were jealous of that. So, they decided to put a false accuse on him about his unpaid shares and planned for his murder.
And...
Now they had succeeded in their plans. But they didn't know his son had seen them.

"But it's not that easy to accuse someone without any solid proof or witness.."
Said Mr. Chang..staring in her eyes.

"I have seen them doing all that with my own eyes uncle Chang..and I think it's enough for them to go in cell."
Jimin said,distracting him from ogling his mother.

"You can't understand boy..these Court matters are rather more complicated than you think. You have to show each and every single proof against the killer. They need weapons,fingerprints,witnesses and all other solid stuff. You have only seen them. Do you have any proof about that..??"
Mr. Chang said..looking straight at him. He wanted them to get to know all the complications of accusing murder claims.

"I don't know..I just want justice. I want to comfort TaeEun's soul. I want to fight for him. I want revenge."
Jimin's mom said. She was determined to fight against her husband's murderers.

"Okay..but you have to come to my office to record each and every detail about it. Then we can officially issue their arrest warrants."
Said Mr. Chang, while getting up to go.

"All right..we'll be there tomorrow."
She also stood up and said,shaking hands with him.
And Mr. Chang left.

.・゜゜・

The next day,both Jimin and his mother reached Mr. Chang's office.
As they knew the address,so they didn't feel any difficulty to get to his office.
The only problem was, she never handled any court or official matters.
It was her first time to deal with it.
But she should do it.
She must do it.
It was the sake of her husband's killing.

They entered the office and straight went to Mr. Chang's cabinet. His secretary didn't stop them,because she knew who they were.

Mr. Chang was sitting in his chair behind the table.
As he saw them,he said...

"Welcome Mrs. Park, good morning..to you too Jimin.."
He gave them morning greetings with a wide smile...

"Come...please have a seat."
He said,pointing at the chairs in front of him across the table.

"Thank you Mr. Chang.."
She said,and they both seated on the chairs.

"What would you like to have..? Tea or coffee, or something cold to drink..?!"
He asked,offering them for any refreshment.

"No thanks..no need for that. We just want to give our claims to be recorded quick,so that you can start your job."
Said Mrs. Park. She wanted everything to be done as soon as possible.

"Yes surely..but a little refreshment never harms."
He said.

"OK..a cup of tea would be fine."
She accepted his offer.
And...
This was her biggest mistake.

As soon as they had cup of tea..they started feeling dizzy.
And in a few seconds..both mother and son were out of senses.
