Epilogue 2

Mr Park tugs his coat on tighter and pushes the door open. There's a bottle of alcohol in his hand, Evu notes as she slides into a chair at the table.

She smirks.

She'd been waiting for this day since forever and it was finally here.

Playtime, she thinks as the man places the bottle on the table and hunts for a glass grumbling to himself about his wife not keeping things in place.

The lights in the kitchen flicker.

He doesn't care though. That's normal afterall, right?

The creaking of the kitchen door causes the man to look up, expecting to see his wife and getting prepared to yell. But there's no one.

The lights continue to flicker and this time he grumbles about his wife not maintaining the place well. Evu's eyes narrow just as the man pulls out a glass from within with a soft cheer.

The kitchen door slams shut, startling the man causing him to drop the glass and it shatters all over the floor. He curses loudly.

Upstairs, Jimin's ears perk up at the sound. He looks at Taehyung with wide, fearful eyes.

"Appa is hurting mumma," he says softly, tears trickling down his cheeks.

Immediately, Taehyung places the dice aside and pulls the child into his lap.

"Don't worry, your mother is safe," Taehyung comforted, rubbing the child's back.

He knew Evu had probably begun playing with her prey. He shushed the crying child in his arms, singing softly to Jimin.
