"Jin Hyung!"

Jin turned around to see Taeri running towards him, Jin gladly opened his arms for his childhood friend to jump right into.

"Haha, Taeri, you are looking so happy today, did something great happened?" Jin asked as he broke the embrace

"I did it, Jin Hyung!" She squealed and started to jump up and down

Jin chulcked at his friend's cuteness,"Did what, Taeri?"

"I confessed to Joonie, Jin Hyung!"

Jin's smile started to falter.

"Wha....what?"

Taeri grinned like a child,"Yes! And guess what?!" Her eyes started to shine brightly

"What.....?" Jin softly asked

"HE SAID HE LIKES ME BACK TOO!!!!" Taeri squealed and hugged him again

"I'm so happy, Jin hyung!! Thank you so much for convincing mom to let me come to Seoul! If it wasn't for you maybe I could have never confessed my feelings!!!" She spoke gladly and closed her eyes within Jin's embrace

'Joonie accepted Taeri's feelings......guess I never had a chance with him since the begin......he is straight....'

Jin's eyes started to turn glassy as his heart started to break but he was glad that Taeri couldn't see his face at that moment

So he could lie that he was happy for her and Namjoon...

"I'm glad he accepted your feelings, Hyung only wishes the best for you..."

"A-are you sure that you want to do this job, Taeri? It's dangerous...." Jin trailed off in concern

"No, Jin Hyung, danger is not even a factor anymore, I want to do this more than anything" Taeri spoke with determination

"But please promise me one single thing...." Taeri turned and took Jin's hands in hers

"What's that?" Jin asked still frowning

"Promise me that you won't tell Taehyung or Joonie about this" She asked eagerly as her grip tightened on his hands

Jin's face turned horrified,"No, Taeri! That's ridiculous! They have a right to know! And can't you see?! THIS IS DANGEROUS!!!" He yelled

"I know..." She softly said,"But I want to do this, more than anything!!" She said firmly

"Fine but promise me something as well!" Jin spoke out anxiously

"What?" She smiled softly

"You'll call me right away in case something goes wrong!" He said in a rush

She smiled gratefully,"I will, Hyung"

Jin hugged her,"Be safe and healthy, Taeri, you have your wedding coming up...." He said sadly

Taeri
Calling...
Accept/Decline

"Hello?! Taeri?! What's the matter?!"

"Ji-Jin Hyung.....I'm sorry.....I-I.....I messed up...."

Jin's eyes widened as he rushed out of his house to get inside his car

"Taeri! Where are you?! Tell me, I'm coming to get you!"

He could hear chuckling sound from the other side as he started to panic

"Taeri?! Are you still on the line?!" He started the engine and came out in road

"Ye-yes, Jin Hyung......ba-barely...."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BARELY?! WHAT HAPPENED?! WHERE ARE YOU?!" He couldn't help but yell in panic

"Jin Hyung.....I-.....I've-..."

Jin could feel her voice crack on the other side

"Taeri?!" He yelled and rushed to get out of his neighborhood faster

"I've been.....shot, Hyung....I-I lost a lo-lot of blood....it-it hurts, Hyung...."

Tears started to run down Jin's cheeks as he heard her voice breaking into sobs

"I-I don't think I can ma-make it, may-maybe it's my la-last time...."

She was crying...

In pain and regret.....

"Taeri STOP THIS RUBBISH!!! THAT'S NOT IT! TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE! YOU'LL BE CURED IN NO TIME!" Jin yelled through the speaker

"Re-really?"

"YES GOD DAMN IT!! TAERI, PLEASE!! TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE!!"

"Central Point....in-in the alleyway be-behind the museum...."

"Taeri, stay strong! I'm coming to save you! Nothing will happen to you!"

Jin started to drive in full speed

"Taeri!" Jin rushed towards the figure lying next to the dustbin in the dark corner and took her into his arms

"Wake up! Please open your eyes!!" He shook her gently

"Jin....Hyung?" She slowly opened her eyes and dragged her strained graze up at him

"Taeri, you'll be fine don't worry!" Jin said and lifted her up
.
.
.
.
"Ji-Jin Hyung.....?" Taeri slowly asked as Jin was frantically driving the car

"Don't worry Taeri, hospital is just around the corner, hang in there!" He said in a rush

"Hy-hyung..." Taeri slowly put her hand over Jin's hand making him look at her

"It's f-fine, Hyung, I know wh-what's in my fa-fate....I-I want-ed to te-tell you som-something..." She managed out

"Taeri, sweetheart, please don't speak, you'll get better, I promise!!"

"Hyung.....I-I need to sa-say thi-s...." She begged

"Taeri-"

"I-I..I wa-s raped, Hy-hyung...."

"WHAT?!" Jin's eyes widened as he tried to see Taeri's face

"Please.....do-don't tell Joonie or Tae a-about this....I be-beg you...."

"BUT TAERI!!!" Jin protested as tears were streaming down his cheeks

"Ple-please hyung.....it's m-my last wish...."

Jin bit his lips

"Fine!"

Taeri smiled and leaned back in her seat...

"Tha-thank you..."
.

"Boss?! Are you alright?!"

Jin slowly opened his eyes to see a concerned Hoseok hovering over him

He confusedly got up from his lying position in the couch of his office and looked back at Hoseok

"Yeah, I'm alright, why are you asking?"

"No, it's just you've been twisting and turning in your sleep so I thought you were having a nightmare.....I'm sorry if I interrupted your nap..." Hoseok spoke as he looked down in guilt

"Un, no, it's fine, thanks for waking me up, Hobi" Jin gave him a smile

Hoseok slowly nodded and headed out of the office...

Jin stood up from the couch and rubbed his eyes....

'Two years ago....Taeri had passed away....but according to her wish I have kept her dead body's postmortem a secret.....'

Jin slowly walked towards his bookshelves but he stopped abruptly when he saw a certain file missing....

"What the-?!" He frantically started to throw away books in the hope of the file being covered by the books but no....

Jin stood in front of his empty bookshelves as panic waves started to erupt inside of him

'WHERE DID THE FILE GO?!'

Then suddenly he remembered.....

'TAE WAS INSIDE MY OFFICE THIS MORNING!'

Jin's eyes widened as he covered his face with his hands and cursed his absentmind....

'Fuck! I messed up!!'
