It was a dark evening as raindrops kept pouring down from the sky. Jungkook had just started to walk down the street on his way back home from the library, where he was stuck for a few hours intensely cramming for exams that were to come up soon. And because his coconut brain forgot about them being announced in class because he was too busy sketching, he had to compensate by making a dash in the rain without slipping so that he doesn't have to spend another three hours drying his notes in front of the heater.

But what he didn't expect to happen on this night was to get mugged in the middle of the sidewalk and get dragged into an alley.

"It's a good thing that it's raining' tonight, I can get dibs on whatever you've got in that bag of yours," a man said with a gruff as he muffled the young boy's mouth to prevent him from screaming. The cherry head used his elbow in defense to punch the man's ribs and escape from his hold.

"Trust me, I have nothing on me right now. All I have is sheets of paper that I don't want to get wet, so why don't we be civil and you can let me be on my way, hm? I promise not to report it too," Jungkook said with a nod as the man held his stomach in pain.

Before the cherry-haired male could take a few steps, he was yanked back once more by the stranger who seemingly recovered pretty fast from that blow.

"Now why don't you be a pretty boy and let me get what I want okay?" he said with a smirk as he started to feel the other up. Jungkook knew that he reeked of alcohol and that the pervert wasn't in his right state of mind so naturally, he was bait for money that would just be spent on that beverage until he was deeply drunk to even walk and think straight. The younger kicked and thrashed helplessly in the man's hold, hoping there would be someone to come save him from his misery.

"Why do you have a civilian in your arms, Cain?" a deep voice asked from the end of the valley. He seemed to be dressed in all black, but Jungkook wasn't so sure about that considering how dark it was already.

"He's got good money on him, Kim. And I want that money. I need that money. You know I do."

"As far as I recall, we did not discuss this in our agreement, Cain."

"You haven't been givin' me the money that we discussed, and this boy right here is a good catch. I could make good use of this pretty thang right here, sell him to a strip club, and profit from it. Good ole' hard bills of green are what profits mah belly and my lovely nose if ya get what I mean," the man named Cain said with a grin.

"I am very much aware of that. But as a blacklisted individual, I don't think I have enough mercy to spare you for what you have been doing for the past three years," the stranger in black said sinisterly as he rotated a blade, or what looked like one in his palm.

"W-what?"

"You see, I know how broke you are, and I know how you stole money by ruthlessly murdering people for it. I know your ways of sin, and believe me, if anyone was capable of punishing sin, it would be me. This world would very much be a better place without you in it," he went on as he walked a bit closer.

"Kim, what are you doing?" Cain questioned as he started to tremble.

"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm punishing you of course," Taehyung said with a smirk as threw the dagger that landed right on top of Jungkook's shoulder. Cain's grip had loosened on the younger as he fell to the ground.

Jungkook gasped as he stepped aside. He looked at the murderer in shock as the blood from Cain started to gush out from his neck. But before he could pull out the knife, the "Kim" dude did it for him by quickly drawing it out. Blood splattered all over the younger's face and body as he witnessed the ruthless murder that consisted of knife gashes.

Taehyung rubbed his shaky hands with a handkerchief as soon as he was done and pocketed it before turning towards him. "All that blood looks good on you. It really brings out your eyes," the stranger in all black said with a small smile.

"You, you just murdered that man! How do you expect me to be okay with what I just saw? You could go to jail for that, you know!"

"You call it murder, I call it a conversation starter. Kim Taehyung. A pleasure to meet your acquaintance. I hope he didn't give you much trouble," he said in an unusually cheerful tone.

"How can you be so calm after what you just did?" Jungkook said as he continued to stare at Cain's dead body for a few seconds longer.

"If you're a blacklisted individual, it really doesn't matter what you feel about anything, does it?" he said with a grin as he grabbed Jungkook's hand.

"What are you even- Okay, I really don't need to know what you're doing as long as there are no fingerprints on my arms for which I might have to justify," Jungkook blurted out as he tried to yank his hand away.

"But what if you weren't even here to begin with?"

"I already have blood that I need to wash off and I saw the murder happen. I don't even know if he has evidence of my DNA on his hand either. So yes unless I remove evidence of me here, I think I'll pass on your offer."

"Come on now, I'm harmless, don't worry."

"You're a cold-blooded murderer, there is nothing about you that says you're harmless," Jungkook scoffed. It was then that it hit him - he was standing next to a murder scene. Realizing what he was doing, he took small steps to the right as he fixed his gaze on Taehyung. Unfortunately for him, that didn't work as he was yanked by the arm for the third time that night.

"Relax, you won't feel a thing," Taehyung replied; grin widening even more as he placed a cloth of chloroform in front of Jungkook's nose; making him drift into unconsciousness.
