(It's raining, It's pouring by 'Anson Seabra' playing)

She took off her mask with her trembling hands.

Jungkook's eyes widened as he saw that.

A huge birthmark on her cheek, but not any birthmark...

"I-I thought-"

"That the original genes of that group vanished?"
She chuckled,
"Actually, I and the girls are mafias. Jisoo is the leader right now but I handed the mafia to her as I wanted to focus on hacking"

The birthmark on her cheek, In the shape of a crown with gems. It was of course not just ANY birthmark. It was the birthmark of the Upper Jung's. The original Jung's. This birthmark was passed by many ages.
They were once the biggest mafia around the WORLD. But due to one incident, All of it was ruined.

Jungkook slowly took his hand to Crystal's cheek. Touching the birthmark, hands so gentle like they're not even there...He couldn't believe the birthmark was REAL.

"S-So-"
He stuttered, she cut him off again.

"My parents... They're... Dead..."
She looked away, breaking the intense eye contact she was having with him.
Jungkook looked at her, shocked. He remembered a thing she said before.

" I'm tired... I just want to visit my parents, to be honest..."
"S-so she meant... She wanted to die..?"
Jungkook thought, biting his lower lip. Thinking about how morally strong the person in front of him is...

"Crying doesn't make you weak, it just means you've dealt with enough shit and can't carry it anymore"

"Once... There was a happy, normal family. Well, that's what the younger children there thought... Two small siblings, a girl and a...boy."
She spoke the word "boy" with a lot of strength and will, it was noticeable from her face and tone.
She took a heavy, rugged, deep breath.

She once again joined the eye contact with him. Both broken souls stare at each other's eyes like they're sharing their emotions. Both the eyes were like an endless abyss of mixed feelings. They both knew that they don't belong together.
It's like a poor person saw a beautiful house, Imagined himself staying there and making memories but he didn't realise that the worth of that house is too much... No matter how much he tried, how much he prayed. The delicate bubble of his wishes is going to pop.

A loud lighting fell nearby. Brightening up both of their faces. They didn't flinch, I doubt they even realised it.
Crystal realised that they were staring and diverted her gaze. Even jungkook realised and looked away.

"O-once, the boy left somewhere, telling his little sister that... He'll return soon... soon.."
She continued. Jungkook again glued his eyes on her.

"Y-years passed by... H-he didn't return... The only way both the siblings communicated was through voice calls. He didn't agree to do video calls for some reason... In the starting, the little girl called her brother every day. They only talked for 10-15 minutes... But at least she had something to consult herself.
B-but... As years passed by... Every day turned into every week... Every week turned into once a month...
Tho She called her dear brother every day... but there were very less responses from the other side."
She took a deep breath... Coming to the scariest part of her life.

"O-one day... An old man, wearing a black mask came... I-i was in my room... Getting ready for my 6th birthday. Then..."
She started sobbing a little at this point, still trying to speak.

"I-i heard a loud noise... I got scared and ran down only to see..."
She started crying loudly. The most painful cry you would have ever heard.

"O-ONLY TO FIND THEM DEAD!!! THERE WERE THREE FREAKING MEN AND ONE HAD THE BIRTHMARK!!!"
she screamed as the memory of her looking at her dead parents in horror flashed in her mind.

Jungkook's heart was already aching, it felt like someone stabbed him a trillion times seeing her in this state.

She got up from jungkook's lap and sat on the seat. Sobbing, this was her weakest point that was hidden in her darkest forms.

"T-two of t-those men w-went o-out. One was t-there... w-who noticed me...."
She gulped

"I-I ran to my room... and took a showpiece of glass in m-my hand... just the m-moment the m-man entered... I threw it at him... h-his e-eyes... f-Face everything was c-covered I-in b-blood... h-he f-fainted b-because of the b-blood l-lose... I-I knew
h-he wasn't d-dead... I-I n-needed to k-kill him... cause he was included in the m-m-murder of m-my parents and he c-could a-also k-kill m-me i-if h-he w-woke up... I took his gun and...."
The memory of blood splattering everywhere flashed in her mind.. just how terrified and traumatised she was...

She looked down...
"T-that's how I took a l-life at m-my s-sixth birthday...."

Jungkook was too shocked to process... "Just how much has this girl suffered anyway and WHY!?" This question kept ringing in his mind.

"I-Is t-that a-all?"
He unconsciously asked...

Crystal turned her head to the soft, delicate soul beside her. And smiled slightly, shaking her head as a no...

"T-there's more!?"
Jungkook snapped his gaze towards her, only to see her smiling painfully.

"T-that's the first part of my story hun... there are 13 more years of stories..."
She clenched the seat covers beside her.

"I need to find out who's the guy she's hallucinating...pretty sure he's not his brother tho... Is he this guy who killed her parents? But who the hell is that guy!!?"
Jungkook thought... only he knew how useless he felt right now as he was not able to help him with anything...

Crystal continued explaining and explaining, telling almost everything that happened in her life. When

"Wait we have to go to the hospital-"
Jungkook snapped as he saw the driver just chilling outside with his umbrella and phone. He called him as they rushed to the hospital.
