"I'm exhausted man...uh...Guess what?
I just wanna go home
With the nerves driving me crazy (yeah)
I couldn't even say hello (right)
Yeah I'm going out baby,
the whole world is my home (wow)
Crazy for myself (yeah)
As if everything would work out once
I open that door (right)
As if I was going to show some
sort of example to the world (uh)
I left home
(Hoping all these imaginations won't end as mere mirages, ay)
........
Somehow the more I try to fill it,
the more it empties out
It seems the more we're together,
the more alone I feel
With eyes half closed, a sleepless night,
the place where you are
Probably that place is mi casa
With you Imma feel rich
That place right there is Mi Casa
Turn it on in advance
Your switch
We'll be at ease without needing to say a word
If only I have you
Everywhere will become my home
You know I want that
Home~~
You know you got that
Home~~
Your love, your love, your love
I miss that
Your love, your love, your love
I want that..."

"You really thought, I wouldn't recognize you, huh, Shin Mizuki?" Sarang smiled, holding the girl, whom she'd once called her best friend, on the edge of her katana.
Mizuki stared at the red haired girl, who she had been around, spying around for the past 4 years, her eyes wide.
"What do you mean?" Jimin stepped forward, looking at his red headed love.
"What she means is, she's not what she seems to be. Better late than never, Sarang." Yoongi said, standing beside Jimin.
"Let me tell them your lie, huh Shin Mizuki! How you feigned being my best friend? How you joked me!" Sarang sneered, bidding to move away the katana from Mizuki's neckline when Hoseok preventing her.
"Stay where you are. Jungkook will explain. This woman is not worth even a second of your faith." He said, glaring at the girl.
Sarang nodded, the katana persistent on her ex-best friend's neck.
"I met them one day, when I went down for a drink at Starbucks. Shin Woohyun had done everything he could to expose Sarang to the world. Everyone knew that she was the rogue princess of Inferno.
She was never safe, or out of sight. They knew her, where on earth she hid or wherever she ran. And, I knew who she was, the instant I laid my eyes on her. And, shockingly, the girl who she was soo mushy with, also seemed acquainted."
Jungkook looked self-satisfied.
"So, when V Hyung got her to us, I took the while to chat to her about who that wild female was."
~Flashback~
"So Jungkook-ssi, what did you want to talk about?" Sarang asked, as Jungkook sat on her bed, opposite her.
"I wanted to ask you about that girl who used to work with you at Starbucks." Jungkook said, thinking hard to figure out where he'd seen that girl.
"Mizuki? She used to work with me since I started. She in fact lived on the building crosswise mine. She's my friend." Sarang described, looking at Jungkook inquiringly.
"Do you have a picture of her?" Jungkook thought hard, trying to find out where exactly he'd encounter this girl.
Suddenly, the recollection of a girl, walking to him, her hips swishing seductively, flashed before is eyes.
Jungkook's eyes widened, the thought of that girl being within the 100 feet radius of him, made the bunny teethed one worry.
She could not just get the hint that day, could she? Jungkook almost lost his v card if not Yoongi had disturbed and saved Jungkook.
If she was who Jungkook supposed she was, then this girl was bad news.
A bigger warning than Sarang would ever be.
"Yeah! Here you go." Sarang handed Jungkook her wallet, where there was a picture of her Mizuki, Luhan, and her outside Starbucks.
"Can I keep this for a while?" He asked, getting up.
"Yeah! Keep it as long as you like."
End of Flashback.
"I performed fast, quickly passing the picture to Yoongi Hyung and notifying the matter to Namjoon and Jin Hyung, alongside the doubts I had.
The hunt went on for precisely 3 weeks, after which, Yoongi Hyung finally had positive outcomes.
We called Sarang and had another little chat with her. And, guess what, you cheating piece of shit!" Jungkook spat at Mizuki. Then, he looked at Sarang, and gave her a spine chilling glare.
"This idiot chose to have confidence in you over me. That was how much she had valued you. Now, if you don't tell her the truth, I will and that will not be nice."
Sarang's eyes enlarged, so did Mizuki's.
"How do you know?" The girl asked, shocked.
"Oh yeah? Your secrets, they don't hide for long." Hoseok snickered, insulting the girl with his eyes.
"What is it that I still don't know, Jungkook Oppa?" Sarang looked at Jungkook.
"Tell her! Fucking tell her or you know what will happen. TELL HER!" Jungkook shouted, making Mizuki recoil.
"She won't speak Kook-ah! If she was bold enough and faithful enough, she wouldn't have forged being tortured by her own father and then, almost murder Sarang. So, go ahead and tell Sarang the reality." Jin said, watching his younger sister with considerate eyes.
"I didn't want her to lose something she held cherished. But you Shin Mizuki, are wretched. A pathetic excuse of a friend, that's what you are." Jungkook exhaled, looking at Sarang with apologetic eyes.
The said red head was shifting her stare from the maknae to her brother, to the girl who she had on one occasion called her best friend.
"This bitch, she'd trailed you around for the past 4 years. Anywhere you went, she monitored you. Which is why, Inferno always succeeded on detecting you. She gave you out every time. Every single time."
Sarang was at a loss for words, as the blow struck hard sending her thoughts in a turmoil.
This girl whom she'd formerly trusted and entitled her friend, was the cause she relocated around SK for the earlier 4 years?
Was she really that much naïve? That much yearning? That much blinded?
"Not only that but also, the pair you and Taehyung-ah had seen the evening you came to us, was Mizuki and Luhan. They were also, in the expectations of abducting you back here." Yoongi said, looking at the fresher girl with aggrieved eyes.
Mizuki threw herself forward, sinking at Sarang's feet, pleading for her life.
"Sarang-ah! Sarang-ah, jebal! Let me go, please! I'll go away from here. I'll never come back. Please, just let me go! Please! I'll change. I'll change for good, just please don't kill me."
She beseeched, looking as wretched and pitiable as ever.
Kim Sarang whispered, "Go!" making the small mob around her fall dumbstruck with shock.
Mizuki climbed to her feet and falsified running away only to seize one of Woohyun's tossed guns and aim at the one who'd just freed her life.
Apparently not.
She was bumped into with the piercing blade of the katana right touching her neck, forcing firmer than before, while at the end of the hilt, stood the said oh so generous.
She tried to fire shots only to have one of them coming at herself, making her scream out in agony as blood flowed out of the punctured arm.
"You even think about hurting them, I shoot you. Simple." Jungkook hissed, aiming the gun at her head.
"Change, huh? Fool someone else, you dumb shit!" Yoongi spat, speedily targeting his gun at the girl's legs, ready to shoot the instant they relocated.
Sarang smirked, shaking her head as she slowly locked eyes with the bewildered girl.
"Bold of you to assume, I wouldn't see through you!" She cackled, the sound ringing from end to end of the void halls as the first rays of the sun hit the wall of the room.
"I'll go; I'll really go this time! Please, leave me." Mizuki begged, still not letting go of her spiteful aims.
"You really think, I'm that dumb to let go of a piece of shit like you? So that you go and play around with someone else's emotions like you did with mine. Not happening bitch!" Sarang shouted, pressing the katana down on her once best friend.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO THEN? HUH?" Mizuki screamed out, staring Sarang dead in the eye.
"He hid me from the world, all the freaking time! Wherever you were, I was not allowed in there. I spent 11 years in the four walls of my room. And the first 9? I spent away from him.
All the way back in the 4th district! Just so that you could be his daughter. And, when you fucking ran away, I was about to lose everything I had been waiting for. So, I could not let you go! You get me! I could not! I had to get you back so that this old bastard could get his revenge on your parents and let me be!"
Their mouths fell open at the reveal of the whole truth. What type of sadist was Shin Woohyun?
"Regardless of what happened to you, you had no right to play a person like that. A cheater, that's what you are." Jimin said, not at all deterred by the disclosure of the truth.
His trust issues were something that was coming in handy for the situation. To be honest, Jimin always wondered how he had come to trust Sarang soo quick. It seemed abnormal and of course, weird.
The Park Jimin who refused to trust the unit groups for the first few months, fell for a girl who had just arrived out of nowhere.
But, he had no answer this. No one did.
You know when they say, the heart wants what it wants.
That's what happened in here.
Taehyung and Jungkook hauled the half deceased Woohyun to stand and held him there.
Jin came up and grabbed the old man's blood-stained lapel.
"You wrecked my whole family. I lost all of them because of you! My Eomma, Appa, my Hyung. 17 years, my sister was living in hell! All thanks to you, Shin Woohyun!"
Jin said, his teeth barred and jaw clenched as he held his family's murderer on gun point.
"Silly boy!" Woohyun smirked, his teeth bloody, the sight made Sarang's senses clam up with disgust!
He was soo pathetic!
"If you kill me, how will you know why I killed your daddy huh? Don't you wanna know? Kim Seok Jin, you will have to keep me alive if you want to know the reason why I killed your parents. Why I am after your life? Your sweet little sister's life?"
Woohyun was trying to get out of this situation but even if he managed to get out of this, he would not let Jin and Sarang be.
He was somebody who's one and only drive of life had been vengeance. And, he had become someone who had lived only for that.
To destroy Jin and his family.
But, there was no escape.
"I don't want to know. I don't want to know why my parents died. Why my brother died. Why you took away my sister. I don't want to know. I don't need my past if that means you breath, Shin Woohyun."
Jin's words made the man panic. He still couldn't accept that he was going to die.
"You separated a 3-year-old baby from her family. You tortured her to do something she did not want to do. You, Shin Woohyun, are gonna face the effect of your sins." Namjoon growled, jerking the man. Then he turned to Mizuki who was now under the iron grip of Hae's arms.
"Betrayal. That's what you did. You're soo lowly that it makes me almost wanna not kill you, but as long as either of you live, that equals danger to my family. And, I can't let that happen Shin Mizuki.
And, if you don't know, according to Bullet-Proof, there is only one punishment for betrayal. Now, that I know what scum you are Shin Mizuki, that bullet on your shoulder was a pleasure."
Namjoon stepped away and so, did the ones who were holding up the last two Shins.
They dropped to the floor, all pathetic and bloody as the Kim siblings stood ready to take their first stand together.
"I hope you are born in a place Shin Mizuki, and a better person." Sarang said, slashing the katana blade against that girl's neck, who she had once cared for more than herself.
Kim Sarang was all alone all throughout her life. Mizuki was the one who had filled that lonely space in her heart and life, even though it was just to achieve her own selfish motives. But, Mizuki had become someone close to Sarang's heart, no matter for what reason that was.
This kill was the first time, where Sarang teared up after Mizuki's dropped lifeless, her eyes close and face more at ease than she'd ever seen.
Jin went after his sister, holding the gun close at Shin Woohyun's chest.
"Still don't want your past? The reason why you lost them? Seok Jin, you're a bigger fool than your father." Woohyun cackled.
"The past that I don't know of, is the past that never happened. And, I do not have any wish to know something that never happened." Jin announced, his fingers moving to the trigger.
"I hope you pass on as a human next life, Shin Woohyun. You're too demonic to pass as a human and too human to be a demon. You dangled in the middle of something all your life, Shin Woohyun. I hope, next life, you find the ground underneath your feet."
With that Jin pushed the trigger back, a loud bang and a thump and just like that;
the Gangster Lord of SK fell to his death.
Jin looked at Sarang and saw the younger, standing still with her head down, her blood red hair, now covering her face from anyone's vision.
The wide shouldered one strode to his beloved, and enveloped her in the closure of his arms.
"It's over Sarangie! It's over! He's gone. We're good!" Jin hugged her tight, whispering assurances in her ear.
Sarang finally calmed down and then smiled at her older brother. Jin kissed her forehead and then, turned to the rest of them.
"Thank you, you guys! For supporting us in this one. This was practically made easy because of you guys."
Namjoon smiled, standing in front of his team.
"It was our duty, Namjoon-ah!" Mark smiled, looking at his team.
"We had to, Hyung!" Soobin smiled at the older.
"Suho!" Jin looked at the boy. "Mention not! We should be thanking you." Suho stood in front of them.
"But, seriously, Hyung! Since when did you have them in our side?" Soobin asked, looking at both the leaders.
"Just a little after the first attack they'd made on Bangtan Ink." Baekhyun answered for them.
They all sat around the room, wherever they could and Namjoon explained what exactly had been happening.
Namjoon recalled the day when he had convoyed Sarang to a walk down the park. That is where he had offered Suho to side with Bullet-Proof and dethrone Shin Woohyun.
Sarang found out about how Woohyun had killed Suho's mother and that's when she made the Jin and Namjoon, and of course, Suho had no reason to say no.
The meeting which Namjoon had after the second attack on their house was the first stage towards the plan where the leader had debated the whole thing with his Hyungs.
The only ones uninformed of the plan were Jimin, Hae, Taehyung and Jungkook.
The second outbreak was a pretext to kill Luhan and some of Woohyun's most reliable men.
After which, bulletproof could only stall the attack until Jongin turned up.
The day Jongin turned up was the same day when Woohyun decided to use Mizuki to get Sarang.
Jongin was one of the trusted members of EXO, a group Suho had created with the boys he had grown up with.
He'd send the boy to notify Bullet-Proof about Woohyun's tricks and full plan.
With Jongin's news, Bullet-Proof was always a mile ahead of Woohyun.
The day Mizuki almost choked Sarang to death was the day the whole of Bullet-Proof were conscious of the lead they had, along with Sarang almost realized that Mizuki was no blameless soul, just like her boyfriend.
The reason, why Suho could never reveal Mizuki's true intentions to Sarang was because that would have alerted Woohyun about having a spy. And, it was highly possible that this; would have blown Suho's cover.
"We don't have anything against EXO! The only one we needed to get rid of was the Shins. Which we did. Now, we leave Inferno to EXO."
Namjoon said, nodding at Suho. "You have my word, Kim Namjoon, EXO will always remain an ally of Bullet-Proof." Suho promised, smiling at them.
"And, you, baby sis!" Suho pointed at Sarang. "Do visit your Oppa sometimes! I'll miss having you around."
Sarang giggled, kissing his cheek, promising the guy who'd always sheltered her like an older brother in the absence of Jin.
Bullet-Proof walked out of the out the EXO mansion, the TXT and GOT7 unit following close behind.
Jimin walked to Jin,
"Hyung!"
"Yeah, what Jimin?"
"I uh...like Sarang. Can I please date her?" Jimin was sweating bullet by then.
Jin looked up, his eyes twinkling with amusement.
"After 4 months of kissing the senses out of my sister, you ask me this?" Jin asked, cocking his eyebrow.
Jimin froze in his spot. Sarang yelped, hiding behind Hae, who was equally shocked as the rest of them.
Except maybe, Kim Namjoon.
"Before you ask, you really thought this guy could keep a secret from me?" Jin pointed at Namjoon, who was smiling sheepishly.
"And you didn't mind?" Taehyung asked, while watching Jimin's cheeks go cherry red.
"If I minded, do you think this midget would have been alive? No one messes with my baby sis!" Jin pulled his younger sister out of Hae's cover.
"To be honest, I kinda knew this was bound to happen. And, I half expected it. Also, those hickeys gave away a lot, Sarangie!" Jin teased, making Sarang wanna evaporate.
"How did you...even?" Jungkook asked, curious.
"It was Taehyung's vision. Whatever he sees, happens. And, if my sis was destined to be with Jiminie, then who I am to stop destiny?
But Park Jimin, if my sister gets hurt, I'll murder you." Jin threatened making the shorty smile wide.
"With your kitchen knives, Hyung?" Hae teased, smiling.
"Yeah! I deal with kitchen and knives but the knives used to chop vegetables can be used to cut off your fingers. It depends on how you use it."
The protective and sharp look on Jin's face said it all. No one messes with my sister.
"Thank you Hyung! I'll be sure to take care of her." Jimin said, lacing his fingers with Sarang.
"You better." Jin warned, smiling.
"Kim Taehyung, don't you have something to tell me?" Yoongi looked at the other kid.
The linked hands of Taehyung and Hae said it all.
"Lemme guess, Namjoon told you?" Jin laughed, looking at the tallest.
"Who else? I swear this guy can't keep secrets." Yoongi shook his head.
"Jin Hyung's Jin Hyung! If my baby sis gets hurt, I'll sell your soul to the devil, Kim Taehyung!" Yoongi warned.
"Well the Devil is better than you." Hae shot back, her eyes sparkling.
"Who said the Devil and me are different? Take care of her Taehyung-ah!" Yoongi nodded, smiling a brother's smile.
"I will Hyung! I swear!"

"NAMJOON HYUNG!!!!" The 95 liners shouted as Namjoon ran off the wide porch, running from the two angry boys.
What was his fault that he couldn't keep it in?
The 95 liners chased the poor leader all around the house, collapsing back at their girlfriends.
"I swear I'm never sharing anything with him!" Hoseok laughed, as Namjoon collapsed on his back.
"I love you Kim Sarang." Jimin whispered, his heavy breathing fanning Sarang's neck.
"I love you too, Park Jimin." Sarang said, tears welling up in her eyes.
Yes, they'd finally opened that door, which made everything right.
And now, they found their homes in each other.
Just like every other family should.
