Will Seul kill him if he spilled her secret? But it is Yoongi though, she cares for him. If she wished to bring this relationship to whole new level, she got to trust Yoongi.

Seul, please don't kill me. Im afraid of hyung's wrath more than yours. Jungkook prayed in his head, and finally unravelled the mystery of Ji Seul life. Called it dramatic, Min Yoongi really exaggerate his reactions and in the middle of the conversation, Yoongi would punch the mattress under him jolting the younger guy in pure horror.

This was the exact reason why he feared Yoongi's wrath more than others. Unexpected reaction and action came from him was the worse thing on planet. "Fuck. Why didn't you tell me earlier?!" he snarled angrily, though he had no reason to be mad at Jungkook. The emotion took over his sanity, he was at the verge of killing someone at this rate.

"I discovered the truth last night, what do you expect me to do? Come running to your room and let you swear at me for waking you up from your deep slumber!" he rolled his eyes, judging his hyung mentally.

"If that is what you need, then you should have come sooner! She fucking cried and you-ugh what an asshole, I swear if I have an image of him in my head..I will not spare his life" scowling, Yoongi grinded his teeth suppressing his anger.

To be reminded of Seul's past was repugnant to him. Now, that he shared half of the burden with Yoongi at least they could protect her from the evil man. If that's what Yoongi planned to do since he insisted on getting the answers from Seul.

"Alright, this is out of topic. Do you think Jimin hyung and Seul are as close as us to her?" Jungkook said out of the blue alarming Yoongi in his seat. "Do you think they ever-Impossible right? We are talking about Jimin here. He is not that type of guy who will do such thing" he assured himself to not let negativity consumed his brain.

"Duh, it is Jimin hyung! The guy who ripped his shirt on stage, and the same guy who used his sexiness to kill girls' heart. Do you think he is not capable of such thing? Do not belittle him" said Jungkook in an irritating manner.

"Yah! Why are you bringing him up? I am sure there is not much progress in their relationship, just because.. I rarely see them together. She has been sticking like a glue with Jin and you, I should be worried of Jin than Jimin"

Jungkook massaged his forehead "Jin hyung.. Jin hyung.." he hummed incoherently.

A loud grunt behind the partition brought their attention to the sleepy figure "Whose unpleasant voice is that calling my name so early in the morning?" Jin yawned loudly, kicking his blanket off him before sitting up in annoyance. Yoongi and Jungkook froze as they totally forgot about Jin's existence in the same room, he wondered if the guy overheard their conversation earlier.

"I will go check on Seul. We will talk about this again later" he murmured lowly enough for Yoongi to hear, as he left the room.

The boys had finally left for their Japan tour and would not be home for two weeks or more. Despite their hectic schedule, they would come back in between to settle some stuffs in Korea but there could barely breath Korea's air. They would need to leave immediately the day after for their tour.

Seul returned to her daily routine, tending her job at the tea shop and as the caretaker except she'd come less to clean since they're not home. Most of the time, she would spend her time at work with her friends and Hoon made a frequent visit to her workplace just to get his free brownies. Impudent boy.

"We are short of fresh milk, I will be out to buy it. Watch the counter" Wongeun set his brown apron on the table. "Will you be alright alone? Hwasa is out for delivery but she will be back soon though" Seul chuckled.

"Hey this is not my first time alone, stop being dramatic. Just go, we need those fresh milk" she dried her hands and returned to the cashier counter. Ruffling her hair, Wongeun gave her a final wink as he exited the store with a playful smile.

The business at this hour was not busy in comparison to lunch hour break giving Seul time to breathe and clean the place thoroughly. Three hours till the closing, Seul decided to kill time and polished her skills in baking a red velvet cake. Recently, Wongeun taught her how to bake one since he wanted to make it as their signature cake.

Humming to random songs, she dropped the ingredient carefully inside the glass bowl with a wide grin. Nothing could beat this excitement to see the result of it. Occasionally, she would glance at the counter if there's any presence of customer. She was immersed in her creations to notice someone presence behind her.

Seul felt a hand slid down her arms, brushing her skin from behind cause her to turn around in fear facing the individual. Her face felt upon seeing the uninvited guest there, and it made her super conscious of her surroundings. She pressed her back deeper against the marble counter as if it could take more of her weigh, to create a huge distance between him and the older man.

"It is nice seeing you again Seul" his dirty voice haunted her once again. A voice that she tried so hard to forget now came to torture her again without mercy. There was a tiny voice in her head telling her to scream and sought help, she just wanted to escape from here. Breathing in the same room as his disgusted her.

"Seeing how hard you try to push me away, I bet you still remember me" placing his arms on both side, he trapped her in between while smirking playfully.

One of her hands clutched onto the counter, gulping the heavy lumps on her throat "Wh-at...do you wan-t..Stay..away from me" her lips quivered as she failed to hold back her fears. He smelled just like seven years ago, a mixture of tobacco and alcohol.

"Aw, I wish I can. But you are working for me, like old times don't you think?"

Seul eyes sprung open, and she stared at him disbelief "Yes my dear, I am the owner of this place. Fate really brings us together, I like that" he moves his hand along the length of her hair and leaned in to sniff the sweet peach smell from it.

"You smell just as good as before" she palmed his chest to push him away, but his grip tightened around her wrist as fast as lightning earning a soft whimper from the girl. Tears started to cascade down her cheeks like heavy rain, fearing what he's about to do to her.
