TXT finally arrived at the safe house in Manija. BTS had been there for a few hours now. Nam-joon called Soobin when they arrived, and it was not good news. It took Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Yeonjun to keep Huening Kai calm when they heard the news that all were murdered and Ari gone.
When Soobin parked the car, Kai opened the door quickly and ran inside the house, the four following behind. Once Kai stepped into the house, he stopped. The main level of the house was a disaster. All the windows had been shattered, tables and chairs were on their sides, and there a few red spots on the wall, probably blood. Kai saw Nam-joon walking over to them, with Jin and Jimin.
"They were long gone by the time we got here. Yujun, Seri, and Ayno were shot. Ho-sung was burned alive. We covered the bodies, but they are still in the room.
"What about Ari?" Kai asked.
"We don't know. We believe she was handcuffed to a pole and was forced to watch her family get murdered. We searched the whole house, even the tunnels, to see if she was hiding, but we found nothing except this." Nam-joon looked over his shoulder and waved his hand over at Kim Taehyung. Taehyung walked over, putting his hand into his coat pocket.
Taehyung stood in front of Kai and took his hand out of his pocket. "This was pinned to the wall." He raised his hand and held it out.
Kai placed his hand underneath his, and Taehyung dropped something cold into his hand. Kai closed his hand. He knew what it was. His body started to shake as he opened his hand. He tried stifling a cry as he looked down at the necklace that he had given Ari. The chain had been broken, meaning that whoever did this ripped the necklace from her neck. He felt a hand on his shoulder.
"This was pinned with the necklace as well." Taehyung held the envelope out to Kai, and he took it. Kai opened the envelope and slid his fingers. He grabbed what was inside and pulled it out. It took only one look, and Kai's heart broke, tears running down his face. he looked away, wiping his eyes. Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Yeonjun leaned in closer to Kai and to see what he was holding. Their eyes widened at the picture of Ari, handcuffed to a pole, glaring at the camera. Her eyes were watering, her sweater was torn, and she had a cut on her forehead.
Beomgyu looked away. Ari was basically a sister to him, and seeing and hearing what happened to her hurt him.
Nam-joon and Taehyung had their heads bowed. "I'm sorry that we didn't get here quicker."
Soobin nodded his head. Kai put the picture in his pocket, standing upright. "I want to see the room."
Nam-joon nodded. "Suga!"
Suga was leaning against the wall when he heard his name. He walked over to the group. "Take them to the room." Suga nodded and turned around, heading to a door. TXT followed. Suga opened the door, leading down a long hallway. once they got to the end of the hallway, he opened another door. "Be prepared. It ain't pretty." They walked in . Everyone's eyes widened at the sight. Four bodies were lying under bloody sheets. Handcuffs were still attached to the poles. Kai walked further in, examining the room.
"We think Ari was chained here since there's no blood." Suga pointed a corner. Kai walked over and squatted down. He pictured her, chained up and forced to watch an execution. He sniffled, wiping a tear from his eyes. He then noticed something shiny in the far corner behind another pole. He walked over and reached down, his hand touching a familiar object. It was her phone. Kai stood up quickly and walked over to the others. "It's hers."
They gathered around Kai. Kai opened her phone and went to a particular app. "I told her to use a recording app. Maybe it recorded something." He pressed a green app, and the app opened. there is one recording. He hovered his finger over the play and pressed it. They all listened.
Markoff already knew that BTS and TXT were on the way. They could hear Markoff's voice and the screams and shouts of the Choi family. They found out why Markoff was after Ari and why he killed the others. Yujun had killed Markoff's whole family, leaving his as the only survivor. They heard the screams of both Ho-sung and Seri being killed and the small phone call between Kai and him. The last few things the app managed to record was Markoff ripping the necklace from Ari's neck and the deaths of Ayno and Yujun.
Kai wanted to kill him. Torture him slowly and then kill him. He turned the phone off and slipped it into his coat pocket. He gave one more glance at the Choi family before bowing his head and leaving the room. He walked to the second level to Ari's room. The door was hanging off the hinges. He walked in. Her room wasn't messed up at all. He walked around, seeing a journal on the other side of her bed. He sat down and picked it up. He skimmed the journal. It was mostly drawings. The last page caught his attention. It was a long letter for him. He closed the journal. he would read it later. He left the bedroom and walked back down to the main floor. Soobin and the others were talking with BTS. Beomgyu saw Kai and walked over to him.
He placed his hand on Kai's shoulder. "We will find her. I promised."
Kai nodded. "We won't stop until she is found."
Soobin, Taehyun, and Yeonjun walked over. "Nam-joon invited us to stay with them for a while. We don't know where Markoff could have taken Ari. We will still check his safe houses that we know of. Keep our eyes and ears open."
Kai nodded. He walked past the guys and went outside. Ari always talked about a path that she would take to the beach. That's what he did. Once he got to the beach, he fell to his knees and yelled, letting everything that he was holding in, out. He bent down, his arms resting on his knees, and he cried. "I'm so sorry, Ari. I broke my promise to you." He pressed his faces into his hands. He felt the waves on his knees, his pants getting soaked. He placed his hands on the sand and looked straight ahead.
"I'll find you, no matter how long it'll take. I promised."
"Just hang in there, love."
