With a brush in his hand, he stroked it across his canvas. Drinking the alcohol from the bottle, he struggled to keep his eyes open but the visions in his mind were clear.

They were cheering for him.

He smiled and continued to paint his father's sight which he saw before burying him in the graveyard. He cleaned the dining room, disinfected it, and left no traces of anything.

"Are you satisfied, Jungkook?"

"I am," Jungkook said, looking at the canvas and biting his lips. "I wanted to capture his screams in his painting. I hope I did well."

"Do it like this."

Jungkook frowned when his hands moved by themselves, widening the mouth of the painting and according to him, it made the painting even more interesting.

He dipped the brush in the black paint when the doorbell rang. He frowned and looked towards his door. "Who is it?" He mumbled and stood up, keeping his brush on the palette.

He opened the door only to see the suspicious eyes of his neighbor. "Hello, Jungkook. Is Mr. Jeon inside?" He questioned but Jungkook shook his head blankly.

"Is he at the office?" Jungkook shrugged his shoulders. "He hasn't been home for a few days and he never tells me about his whereabouts so I am not aware where he currently is."

"Can I come in?" The neighbor questioned and Jungkook tilted his head in confusion. "Why should I allow you?"

"I heard screams from your home. I just want to make sure." The neighbor said. Jungkook rolled his eyes, opening the door and showing the television to him. "That was the television. I love watching Action and Thriller."

The neighbor took the chance and entered his home. Jungkook glared at his back while he inspected the place. "Get out of my home."

"Just a minute. Why does it smell so bad?" Jungkook pointed at the fridge. "Stale pork in the refrigerator. I forgot to cook and it got spoilt." He said, walking over to the refrigerator and opening it, causing more smell to enter the neighbor's nostrils.

He rubbed the bridge of his nose and looked around the home once again. "Are you sure nothing is wrong?" He asked and Jungkook shrugged. "I don't know."

The neighbor sighed and looked at him saying, "You should file a missing person's report at the police station about your father. They will find him." Jungkook nodded, gesturing him towards the door as he walked out before glancing back at Jungkook who shut the door of his home right on his face.

The neighbor scoffed and rolled his eyes, "Both the father and his son are rude as hell."

Jungkook walked inside his room and stood in front of his desk, taking out a white pill and keeping it on his tongue before swallowing it.

He inhaled deeply and strolled back to his seat in front of his canvas.

"You shouldn't have let him go."

"What should I have done?" Jungkook asked while brushing the paint over the drawing.

"Should've started working on your next drawing."

Jungkook smirked and mumbled, "He didn't fascinate me enough to kill him. I'll just focus on this one for now."
