Eunsang might've slept with the picture of Jimin clutched to his chest while weeping all night. He was very surprised to find his mum in Jimin's bedroom that early morning. "You came here after he's gone? What a funny world where they revered the missing and the dead.." He laughed sarcastically.

"Jimin is my son too.." She whispered. "You never once visited him when he was here and gladly sold him to the Jeons. Your son? He was your son? You hypocrite of a living thing." Eunsang replied calmly. "Eunsang stop overthinking this. Your father didn't even punish him for killing his brother." Jiwon said.

Eunsang angrily threw the photo elsewhere and before she knew it, her son's hand was tight around her neck, she could hardly breath. "Don't act like you don't know anything, it takes less than a minute to bury you beside your son." Eunsang threatened and let her go. She coughed painfully before putting herself together.

"I-I don't know anything, Jimin killed Jikyung and that's all I know." she said firmly avoiding to face reality while her face was covered with tears. "You give me so many reasons to be a murderer. I regret calling you mother, because you were never one." Eunsang stormed out of the room.

Jiwon waited for him to leave before breaking down completing. The pain was too much for her and the burden of being the only one who overheard the conversation that night stabbed her so hard. She hated the feeling, she hated the pain, she hated herself and she hated that she was mute, in fact have been mute since that day....

She crawled towards the direction where the photo was thrown. She smiled to herself knowing the scattered sharp object that once where put together as a frame for the photo was going to stop her pain. "Hold in there for a while, it will stop soon.." She said calmly to the beast in her that was eating her up. She rolled her sleeve to reveal, slain of marks on her white paled skin which was neither healing nor opened as a wound.

She picked one of the broken glass and marked  her wrist deeply enough. She sighed at last, it felt great, it felt refreshing and more relaxing. She felt relieved, while those tears drained a part of her. Very addictive.... "I hate you Jikyung.... so much" She went numb.

                 Mystery on the hills.

Mother Ahn woke the boy up by 6am just for inspection sake and allowed him to go back to bed after his name was entered for the roll call. "I will make breakfast, rest while I'm at it." She patted his bangs and gave his hair a soothing kiss. "You treat this mature sick boy like he's some baby of a sort." Haemin who leaned against the wall voiced out. "Maturity isn't about age, if it was you should be in the home of your husband making babies not emptying eggs in the bin every month."

She replied. "Why so offended?" Haemin burst out laughing. "Well I'm not, I just sometimes feel bad for you  and oh wait, You realize the ring you fantasized about is on his ring finger. Go have a look how beautiful and shiny it is on his finger." Mother Ahn teased. Haemin frowned. "Byeee.." Mother Ahn said and ran downstairs.

"I knew things won't go my way after you.." Haemin said and stormed angrily inside Jimin's room. She grabbed Jimin's hair and dragged him on the floor. Jimin held his head out of pain. "Why did you do this?" Jimin questioned still in pain. "I need some coffee.. why are you still sleeping by this time? It's past 6 o'clock!" She retorted loud enough hoping to catch Jungkook's attention.

"I'm sorry.." Jimin replied. "You know this isn't your house so things won't go your way here." She added. "This girl.." Mother Ahn rushed back inside and just dragged Jimin out of the room. "Don't you think you're stepping boundaries with me?" Haemin questioned. "And that's because you've overstayed your welcome." Mother Ahn added.

Right in front of the kitchen there stood Jungkook with his belt coiled around his hand, with arms folded while his left hand supported the bridge of his nose. Mother Ahn slowly went back pushing fearful Jimin behind her. "I came here and found you missing Jimin and apparently you were still sleeping." Jungkook said.
