The Midnight sky was covered by a blanket of black smoke designed like clouds. No one present at this moment has seen the Midnight sky darker and more horrorful like this. It was a night of terror and agony.

The crackling of fire and the echoing of a voice from a distant.

Her head ringed, her eyes blurred and her body ached at every inch.

She was face flat on the ground from the brutal force of the happening a few seconds ago. Screaming of agony filled up the atmosphere. Screams screams and screams.

Grunting she slowly turned herself around and glanced at the dancing flames in the distant.

Fire.

Her nightmare has come alive.

"No" she cries as she gets on her knees, her body was weaker than ever. "No!! Please!!" She screamed as she got on her feet. Removing her coat she threw it away and ran towards the blazing mansion.

How did this happen? She was having a Moment with namjoon a few minutes ago.

10 minutes ago...

Namjoon stopped the car outside the gates of Matt's mansion. The two sat there in silence for a few minutes until namjoon decided to speak up.

"Don't push me away" he glanced at her as she was playing with her nails.

"What are you talking about" she mumbled and looked out the window as if she was embarrassed.

"Angelina. You know I love you, so don't push me away...it's hell for me without you" his words made her heart beat faster.

"We can't" she replied, "it's too dangerous"

"That's fine, we've been fine so far" he smiles making her smile too.

"Namjoon..." Angel had a thought in her mind, she wanted to say it but she couldn't. She wanted to ask him to wait for her. She wanted to tell him that after she ends all her misery she'll come back to him. But that's stupid.

There is no guarantee on what will happen in the next few minutes. She can't give him false hope.

"Thankyou for the ride, I was really tired" she says making him smile.

"Anything for you Angel" he answers making her blush, she immediately opens the door and steps out.

"Go home safe" she hastily replies and quickly rushes in through the gate. Flowers were blooming in her heart, her worries were flying away to the Midnight crisp air. She knew she'll cherish this memory. Even if she ends up with him or not.

The guards were patrolling the area, they bowed at her as she made her way towards the mansion.

The next second, the mansion before her eyes were swallowed by a red flame and she was sent flying backwards due to the impact. It all happened so quick, the blast echoed through the whole estate, the ground beneath rumbled as the mansion started breaking down.

It didn't take long for Angel to realize what had happened, dread filled her heart as she tried her best to recover herself. Once she was on her foot she immediately rushed towards the mansion with tears rolling down her cheeks.

Her brothers were in there, Yoongi, Hoseok, Matt and all her friends. Her family was in danger.

She looked for a way to get in. The main door was blown to pieces and fire had engulfed the entrance, gathering all her courage she ran through the fire and landed harshly on the tiled floor.

The smoke air was too much to breath in, removing her shirt she tied it around her nose and looked around. There were some men fallen on the ground, she immediately crouched towards them and checked on their pulse.

They were alive, holding them from their legs she started pulling them towards the broken window. There were no flames in that area. Thankfully, the guards who were patrolling rushed in too.

They helped her drag the men out of the house, once they were safe she immediately headed towards Matt's office, some of the walls were about to collapse. Her skin was burning but that didn't matter.

The door of the office was locked, since it was already being burnt down by the fire she gave it a harsh kick breaking it down quickly. She rushed in and looked around for Matt.

"Matt!!" She screamed but there was no one in. Which means he should be somewhere on the top floor.

"Yoongi!!" She screamed and headed towards the stairs. It was dangerous to walk on the stairs but she quickly  up and ran screaming their names. Her eyes were tearing up due to the harsh smoke.

"Witch!! Over here" someone screamed and she immediately rushed there, there were some men under debris. "Help please!" They begged her.

She immediately tried her best to push off the debris on them. They were too heavy, these men had their legs crushed probably.

Suddenly someone stood beside her and helped her push away the debris. It was Hoseok.

"Hobi!" Angel yelled and hugged him in relief. "Are you okay?" She asked still hugging him hard.

"Yep yep, we have to help them out" he pushed her away and quickly instructed her to pull them out of the room that was about to collapse.

Once they handed them over for the patrol guards they immediately ran up once again in search of the others.

"Where is yoongi?" Angel asked as she avoided a falling debris.

"I don't know!" Hoseok answered with his nose covered, the smoke was too much. "I was in the weapon room, Yoongi said he's going to do something important and left"

"What about matt?"

"He should be in the art room probably" he answered as the two quickly headed that way. Once they reached the room they wondered if there was an art room at all. It was broken down and nothing was to be found.

The crackling fire started to spread even more and Hoseok grabbed Angel by her arm. "We have to get out of here!!" He yelled at her. She shook her head.

"We haven't found the other's, I'm not leaving without them!!" She yelled at him with tears trickling down her eyes.

"Angel listen to me-" hoseok was pushed away by Angel and she ran further more upstairs. Before he could follow her he was called by some men who needed help. Instead of running behind her he decided to help them quickly.

Outside Namjoon had rushed in through the gate. He was panicked just like everyone else. The men outside mentioned that the rescue team was on the way. But he couldn't just stand behind and watch while Angel was risking herself to help her men. So he decided fo run after her.

Angel was like a maniac, screaming the names of her dear friends. Third floor was a restricted area for everyone else except the top members of the group. It was where all the weapons, blueprints, drugs were stored.

They should probably be in here.

"Matt!!" Angel screamed as she searched around.

Broken walls and fallen debris, she jumped over them and tried her best to see through the polluted air. The art room, was their meeting room. It was located at the far end of the third floor. She rushed in and pushed the door open.

It was dark, the fire hadn't got in but the walls were already cracked and fallen over. Tears brimmed in her eyes as she started looking for him under the debris. And as expected, Matt was laying on the floor motionless.

He was crushed under a pile of rocks.

For a mere minute her knees went weak and she fell on the ground. Her heart was being hammered upon over and over. Gathering her courage she crawled towards his body and tried to push off the cement blocks off him.

She was too weak. She wouldn't be able to do it alone. "Matt" she cried cupping his bleeding face. "Oh Matt don't leave me like this" tears splattered on the floor as she waited for a response.

He wasn't breathing. He has already left the world. She wailed the death of her past lover, the death of her childhood saviour. Without him she would've been already dead.

"Angel!!" Hoseok rushed into the room. Looking at the sight before him he broke down to tears too. But he knew they had to leave now or else they'll be dead too.

"Angel, we have to leave" hoseok begged her and tried his best to pull her up.

"I can't" she screamed at him and cried harder. All the pain she is going through, she wanted to end it. If there's a chance for the pain to end today, then she'll take it.

"Angel please!" Hoseok begged her and tried to pull her away from the corpse.

"Angel!!" Namjoon's voice boomed across the floor. Angel immediately looked at the direction of the door where he stood. Namjoon rushed towards her and grabbed her from her shoulders.

"Don't let their death be a waste!" He screamed at her, "If you die now, there will be no justice for the people you love" namjoon wiped her tears and hugged her.

"Whoever did this, will pay, and you will make them pay" Namjoon pulled away and cupped her face.

His words seemed to have made her understand something. But before she could respond Namjoon was already dragging her out of the room.

She took one last glance at Matt, and she noticed a gold coin beside his head. Her brows furrowed. Gold coin? There was some memory related to a gold coin but she couldn't pin point what it was.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sudden collapse of a wall bedside them.
The stairs were already about to break down, a few more steps taken by these men and it will be done for.

Thankfully all three managed to get out of the mansion, the firemen were already here. There were less men saved than they thought. So much of lives wasted. All that for what? Who was responsible for this?

Angel ran towards Hyun-Jin who was busy helping the others, "Yoongi" she blurted at him. "Did u find Yoongi? Did anyone find Yoongi?!" She screamed at them.

"Boss!!" One of the trainees ran towards her with a walkie talkie and handed her that. Frowning she immediately turned it on.

"Hey Angel"

It was Yoongi.

"Yoon! Where are you!-"

"Angel there's no enough time, so listen to me. I'm at the basement-"

"What! Wait there I'll come-" Angel was cut off by him.

"There's no use girly, the entrance is destroyed" he laughed making her cry. "Listen there's no much time okay, you have to get everyone off this place it will blow up in a few minutes. Maybe seconds I don't really know"

"What are you saying-"

"There's a bomb in the basement" his words made everyone gasp. "I tried to deactivate it but, it's complicated and I ended up fastening the process haha" he laughed nervously.

"Yoon" she sniffles and limped towards the mansion but Namjoon held her back.

"Choi Aera, take care of my weapons" Yoongi laughed as she cried harder. "Tell the guys, that I'll be waiting for them in hell" yoongi laughed on the other side trying to hide his sobs.

He was scared, she knew. "Yoongi" Angel was only able to say his name, no more strength left in her body she fell on her knees.

And the Burning down house before her eyes, blasted for the second time. This time leaving nothing but ashes. Everyone who decided to stay close to Angel were pushed back by the force. They took more injuries than they anticipated.

Police sirens started screeching in air and around the place. Angel was huddled close to Namjoon far away from the mansion. The impact had rolled both to the edge.

Coughing the two helped each other sit up and looked at the destruction.

"Min Yoongi"
