The wind hissed.
I was speechless. What action of mine raised a question in his mind which resulted in him doubting me.

"W-what are you talking about?" my voice lingered in the still atmosphere.

"You don't look or sound like someone who worked as a housekeeper. And your knowledge of stuff like this is quite surprising"
His eyes which were filled with warmth now shifted to deep demur.

"I- I do not understand what you are saying" I uttered as I stepped back, leaving a slight distance between us.

"Oh, you do understand miss Y/N or what should I call you? Miss lies? he stepped forward finishing off the distance between us. His behaviour was odd, it felt like he was urging himself to this certain act or this all was in my mind.

Fear grew in me.
I should tell him the truth.
But what if he hands me over to Klim?
What if he throws me out?
My mind struggled to form a sentence that I could deliver to him without him raising any questions about it. My face turned blue, what should I say?

"Jin-"

*chuckle*

"Oh my god relax, why are you so nervous? I was just messing around with you" his aura suddenly changed warm, there wasn't any sign of cold and sharp looks from him anymore.

"What" My throat turned dry at this point and my body numb.

" well you are pretty good at Archery and you don't seem like a beginner" he says.

"I- I don't think I am a beginner" I make my eyes roam around the surroundings not wanting them to meet his.

"Yes, I can see that,"

"Wonder who taught you," he said as he walked towards to board to pick up the arrows.

"My father"
I turned my face aside not wanting to remember those memories. But as I did a figure caught my eyes. It was shifting from one tree to another trying to hide its statuette but his eyes assumingly were stuck on us, on Jin.

"I-" my words were cut off by Jin

"Let's go inside?" he stated as he picked up the arrows and moved towards the shed which stood at the corner.

"Um sure"
                                                                       ************
I looked out of the window, the forest so wild and evergreen, I loved this but within this enjoyment, there was also guilt.
The car came to a sudden halt as I saw Jin getting down, we were in the town. He had suggested me to join him on his visit to the town.
The town was beautiful, the people were beautiful for a certain time I imagined South Korea as a place of superstitions and inequality as male dominance was endured here, however, the males were humble, so that's what I thought.

As we made our way into the market I couldn't help but feel observed as everyone's eyes landed on my distinct fashion, I was walking down the street with a pair of considerably large shirt and trouser, it didn't feel good. I walked faster to keep up with Jin's speedy pace and suddenly a force pulled my arm and I crashed into a hard surface, a chest.

Panic rushed through me as I looked up to see a man in his twenties, his face covered with a conical straw hat. Struggling in his hold I looked in the direction where Jin was walking, he was nowhere to be seen. I looked back at the man who had uttered something in Korean.

"Let go of me" his grip tightened on my arm

"Oh so you speak English, obviously with a girl with such a face what can I say" he spoke as he lifted his head, looking directly into my eyes. His face, there was something about his face that brought a peculiar softness but the scar drawn on the left side of his face said another story.

" *chuckle* Oh looks like you are drowned in me, mesmerized by my looks perhaps?" he said as he leaned in more, our breaths swirling together.

"Please-" tears welled up, I had never been in such close proximity to a man before, and the fear engulfed me as he tightened his grip on my arm.

"Tell me, where-" he was abruptly ceased by another voice

"Let her go Yoongi. She is with me " I looked up to find Jin standing near us. There was coldness in his aura.

"Y-yoongi" This name I have heard before but I couldn't recall it. However, My whisper went unnoticed by both of them.

"*scoff* my my, I assumed it, only you could get the hand of such pretty kittens," he said as he moved his gaze at me. "But this, little" he pulled me closer as he uttered, moving his face near mine and then it hit me the smell of alcohol.

"Yoongi" something about Jin's voice appeared different, It didn't sound the same, it appeared more dominant.

He kept looking into my eyes without uttering a word. His dark eyes were emotionless, they were concealed with what seemed like determination and alcohol after a brief moment

"Argh keep your chick with you" He jerked my hand towards Jin "You wouldn't want-" He looked at me for a brief moment as he lit the cigarette and mumbled something in Korean.

"Come with me Y/N" There was roughness in his voice and I was dragged away.

Author's Pov
Tears welled in Y/Ns eyes threatening to fall as she was slowly dragged away from the market to his jeep. Something in Jin's Aura shifted as if he was judged and mocked. He disfavored it.

"You-" his words halted as he looked over at Y/N's state, her hair seemed a mess with her hair strands on her face and her wrist turned into a dark shade of red her face was mugged with tears and her nose stained red due to her rose complexion.

Something in him stirred as he looked at her, his face now filled with guilt. He couldn't comprehend his feelings towards her.

"Sit in the Jeep" He pulled open the door and gently pushed her inside. And closed it before she could say something. He reminded him of his motive, the reason behind all this.
He walked back into the market, entering an ally while its walls were consumed by various drawings. With furious steps, he walked towards a door while two men stood in front of him. Understanding their motive, he removed his black fingerless hand glove, showing the men the dorsal side of his palm. The men moved and airy the door for him.

The room inside was sickening. Men in their twenties had their arms filled with tattoos and sat at backless chairs consuming alcohol. While some other men were found circling the billiards table.

Without taking a glance at the men in the room Jin moved to another narrow passage connected to the room. With every turn he took, he found men being engaged with some women or some inhaling drugs. The place screamed illegal.

He halted in front of the door which was well-secured by muscular men whose mussels bulged as they folded their arms to their chest.

"Kim Seok-Jin" Jin spoke out as his eyes were fixed on the door.
The guards shared some words and let him in.

The door was pushed slowly and a figure surrounded by smoke came into the view.
As the smoke cleared, a horrific scene came into his view.

*gunshot*
