This chap was inspired by IamAashii after she sent me a sudden massage on this account. Her poem was so cool I just had to use a part of it. (With her permission of course)

IamAashii sorry it took so long to post this booboo. Thanks for inspiring me with your massage. Love you ❤️.

TP POV:

Each one of us has a different story. Some are sweet and some are deep. In those stories there are some beautiful moments, whilst some moments are just plain dark.

And that black darkness had something hidden within it that made your heart shudder. Jungkook often found himself in that void. Confused and scared.

It was amusing really, how the color red complemented the black. One represented the flames of hunger whilst the other embodied fear. Jungkook found that relationship quite odd. It was fascinating to see how it all came together, yet when it did, it was harrowing.

The flames that devoured everything in insatiable hunger and left behind the ashen blackness of fear within the raven's heart.

Jungkook hated it. He hated how he was afraid. So afraid that he'd lose all senses of reality. He hated how it paralyzed him whenever he saw those red flames again. And he hated that he didn't even remember why.

For the longest time Jungkook could remember, nothing terrible had happened to him. But the scars on his shoulder and on his brother's back was enough evidence that something did happen.

But he was too young and too fragile that his brain had locked that memory away. At least that's what his therapist used to say.

But Jeongguk knows.

Jungkook knows that his brother remembers exactly what happened in the past. And he also knows that Jeongguk cares about him too much to ever share that burden. So he stopped prying. It is what it is.

That never not left him frustrated though.

What Jungkook hated the most now was the event that connected Taehyung with him and his twin. They were all different people with different characters and stories. But the one connection they shared the most was something Jungkook didn't like to admit.

Their hedious past.

Why must it have to be something so dark? Why couldn't they have happy lives filled with joy?

But that was their story.

A sigh left the raven as he slowly zoned back into reality. He stared once more at their half burnt house that was currently getting repaired.

Jeongguk had already went out to supervise the workers. The house would be finished within a month. The thought of it didn't bring him happiness exactly. Because at the moment his sweetheart was still locked inside his room, crying.

Times like these are where Jungkook truly felt helpless.

Each day that passes by happiness seems so scarce. He remembers how just a few days ago they were talking and laughing. And today that joy feels so out of reach.

He looks a little to the side and there beneath the night sky, illuminated by the street lights he could make out his brother's silhouette.

Jeongguk always looked so strong to Jungkook. That anchor that always keeps you grounded or the pillar that supports you without complaints, or maybe that iron wall that protects you from every harm. That was Jeongguk in Jungkook's eyes.

His brother was there for him even when he thought he didn't need help. Silently and diligently Jeongguk cared for him. Whenever he felt lost or scared all he had to do was look back and there he would be, smiling and arms open with that look in his eyes.

Like everything would be okay.

Words would never be able to describe how much love and respect Jungkook had for his brother. No one ever compares to Jeongguk.

He saw the said raven look his way. He smiled when their eyes met. He still had that look on his face. Like you could tell him any burden and he'd make it okay. Just like a superhero.

Jeongguk however, never saw himself as a hero. He knew he wasn't half as worthy of the pedestal Jungkook put him on. But he also knew he'd do anything to protect his brother's smile and the sparkle in his eyes.

Anything.

Jeongguk of course had many other people in his life he'd do just the same for. But Jungkook was special. Their relationship and their bond was special. After all, they have been together since birth. Quite literally.

The raven has seen many things and has done many things he's never told anyone about. He has hidden many truths from his brother too. When Jungkook cried over his lost memories Jeongguk had thought of it as a blessing. Those horrors were better forgotten. He just couldn't see his brother crumble all over again. No, Jungkook was too precious.

In the past, when life was too much of a burden, there were many times where Jungkook was the only reason why he decided to live instead.

Jeongguk was a man of many secrets. No one would ever know just how much burden he has carried on his shoulders. No one knows the amount of scars he holds within himself. The scars on his skin barely even scratches the surface.

The horrors he's seen, the things a child shouldn't. The pain he's experienced and seen were enough to make people shudder. But he knows Jungkook has felt and seen much worse.

The times he's failed to protect what he loved and the horrible things he's done so long ago should always remain in the void of Jungkook's lost memories.

Some truths must remain untold.

"Have you found him yet?" Jin asked as he placed the beer filled glasses on the round table. The mentioned Auburn-head just shook his head with a solemn look plastered over his face.

"What are you planning to do Yoongi hyung" Hoseok asked concerned. He had left after Jimin finished his meal so he could meet his brother.

"I sent out people for Daegu and I've contacted the Daegu correctional facility. He escaped from there. I'm most concerned about Taehyung. We know he's a potential target." The male mumbled exhausted.

"I've circulated his face on the papers but so far no lead has come" Namjoon informed just as solemn. The atmosphere immediately dropped.

Yoongi had been working day and night to find the murderer. But the guy seemed to have vanished.

He didn't think it would be easy seeing as the man almost got away with murder if Taehyung and Jimin hadn't reported him that night. Maybe that's why he was after them.

But that still didn't explain why he murdered two of the neighborhood recidents. And why appear now? Why after almost ten years?

Only Kim Heechul would be able to answer those questions now.
