chapter 11

Unknown place, 2004

          The boy, dressed in all black clothes and with gloves on his hands, quietly opened the entrance door of the house, so the owner wouldn't be able to hear him when he entered inside, his heart throbbing loudly as it was full of painful determination and decision and he knew there was no way to go back. He had already gone past limits and now he had to face the consequences and search for the cure to fix them, to fix what ruthless life had done wrong to him.

           He was barely breathing since he didn't want to make any noise, but coldness and continuous chills still kept making him anxious and causing his bones to shake from nervousness as he was trying to challenge his relentless fate and change the direction of his life, erase his pain forever. He carefully closed the door and made his way towards the room, where the voice of a woman was coming from as she sang quietly to herself, thinking she was alone and safe in her own house.

          Everything was absorbed in dark and no hint of light was brightening up any room as the slim figure leaned against the wall with his back, right beside the door and stopped breathing while he waited for the woman to exit her room. His bloodshot eyes were staring in the darkness, and he was feeling weak in his bones, but he was still managing to keep his balance somehow. Fortunately, he didn't have to wait for long, because soon the sound of footsteps approached the closed door and the boy's muscles stiffened all at once, cold sweat forming on his forehead to reveal rushes of dread and anxiety which were nibbling at his organs.

          He gulped down heavily as soon as the door cracked open and the woman with long, black hair walked outside, trying to make her way towards the kitchen without noticing a stranger in her house, so her screams of terror muffled in the boy's gloved hand when he suddenly caught her from behind and covered her mouth to prevent her from making unnecessary noises.

          "Calm down", he whispered in her air since he wanted to avoid creating unnecessary drama, heavy breaths of fear leaving his mouth, "I'm not here to harm you. I'll uncover your mouth and don't scream okay?"

          The woman nodded her head immediately as a couple of tears slipped down her face and the boy did as he promised, he hesitantly moved his hand away from her mouth and released her from his grip, causing her to pant heavily and hesitantly turn around to face him. She was greeted by the nervous face of a beautiful stranger at once and he didn't even look like he could do any harm to anyone even though he was dressed in black, however, it still didn't help the woman to suppress her dread because he was a complete stranger after all.

          "What do you want? Money?", she asked nervously as she wiped her tears with her shaky hands.

          "No", the stranger with brown hair said, "I know what you did to your son a couple of weeks ago", he announced, causing the woman to freeze in her place, completely taken aback by his sudden announcement. She stared at him with disbelief and dread written over her face, "But I'm not here to judge you"

          The woman barely managed to move her lips to ask in confusion, her voice shaking uncontrollably, "Then what do you want?"

          "I want to make a deal with you"

Seoul, South Korea, 2025

          "Alright", Soobin said on his cell phone, his hand rested on his hip as he nodded his head in satisfaction, "Thank you"

          He declined the call after that and walked back into the house, entering the living room where the two boys' hopeful eyes landed upon him, "I found him", he said satisfactorily, an evil smirk dancing on his lips, knowing Yeonjun would like his answer, "Street Alphacity 1-ro. The building number _ 12. Apartment number _ 10"
