PART 2 : WHERE IS MATTE?

It was getting darker, as the sun set and moon taking its place. Jimin was worried as he could not find matte anywhere.

He had been playing with kookie all day to keep the boy occupied and out of taehyung's company that he forgot about matte's presence.

Jin left a couple of hours ago as he had an important practice match. He said he would be back by dinner time.

Jimin didn't see taehyung anywhere at the house after the incident in the morning, not that he cared about him.

After putting kook for a nap, jimin had searched matte everywhere but could not find it.

That was when he found taehyung entering the house. Taehyung looked at jimin's worried face for a minute, his lips curling into an evil smirk. He knew exactly what jimin was worried about.

Jimin catching the boy's evil expression eyed at him suspiciously, "what is with that look, you freak?" jimin asked taehyung with a scowl on his face.

Taehyung quickly made an innocent face, " I don't know what you are talking about, hyung " he said with a fake innocence.

"You don't have to put on your act to me.... You know that I know very well about you, little shit " jimin said getting furious every minute seeing taehyung.

"Well , sure jimin hyung, you know a lot about me " Taehyung said shrugging his shoulders with a smirk on his face and left upstairs to his room.

Jimin just fisted him palm, getting angry ; taehyung was far matured for an elementary school kid, he was very different which made jimin to be cautious of him.

Jimin decided to go outside looking for matte , " Matt... Matteeeee... Where are you ? " He shouted out looking for matte in the yard.

Taehyung came down stairs sitting on the kitchen table, he took an apple and started to munch on it. He did not have anything for breakfast nor for lunch, his brothers won't look for him even if he was not home all day.

" Jiminie.... Kookie is hungry " Tae turned towards the little voice, where he found jungkook rubbing his eyes with his baby fist, he seemed as if he woke from his well rested nap.

Jungkook opened his eyes to see tae sitting on the kitchen stool. His eyes widened in fear as he stepped back.

Taehyung smiled at the little boy, "Come here kookie, I have something for you. " He gestured kook to come near him.

Jungkook shook his head scared, tears welling in his doe eyes.

Taehyung's smile turned into a glare, as he pulled little kookie near him forcefully, he held jungkook's palm upturned then he raised his two fingers and smacked hardly on the little boy's knuckles.

Jungkook cried out loud trying to free himself from tae's hold.

"Will you disobey me again? " Taehyung asked jungkook warningly.

The little boy shook his head as no crying.

" Stop crying, or I will punish you more. " Taehyung said angrily , jungkook closed his mouth with his hands trying to control his sobbings.

Taehyung turned jungkook 's palm, he dropped matte's cut paw on jungkook's hand saying, " Look, hyung just wanted to gift you " he said softly.

Little kook looked at the cut paw and cried in fear.

" Shhh..... It's a secret okay " Tae said to jungkook caressing kook's hair making him wail.

" If you keep crying, I will cut your jimin hyung's little dick and give it to you, do you want that? " he said scarily.

Jungkook shook his head and tried to quieten himself. He then went near the couch sitting on it while looking at his shoes. He was very afraid of taehyung.

Taehyung then put matte's paw into his pocket and continued to munch on his apple.

Jimin entered into the house, he was very sad as he could not find matte anywhere.

He suddenly spotted a little blood on taehyung's shirt which raised his suspicion.

He went near taehyung and grabbed him by his collar, " WHERE. IS. MATTE", he asked through his gritted teeth.

Taehyung feigned an innocent face, "I don't know hyung... I didn't see him from morning. "

Jimin bit his lips, he was beyond angry, " Stop acting.... What is that blood stain on your shirt? What did you do to my cat, you psych? " jimin asked shaking taehyung 's body.

Taehyung's innocent face suddenly turned evil with his lips turning into a smirk, "Find it yourself.... You have lost your pet.... Next whom are you going to lose jimin? " he said dangerously.

Jimin was stunned for a moment, he couldn't believe those were the words of a ten year old.

However, anger took over him, he slapped taehyung multiple times making the boy bleed from his lips, he pushed taehyung down and started to kick him with his shoes on.

Taehyung tried to cover himself from jimin's blows, not a single tear falling from his eyes.

Suddenly, the door opened, Jin was beyond shocked to see what was happening , he saw jimin beating taehyung very badly.

He went near jimin and held him back, " Stop jimin.... What are you doing? Let him go. " Jin said trying to calm jimin down while holding him.

However jimin tried to get out of jin's hold , " Let me go hyung, he - he killed matte. ". Jimin shouted out as angry tears filled his eyes.

Jin was shocked, but still he pushed jimin on to a chair making him sit.

Jimin tried to get up , Jin stopped him, " For God sake, stop jimin, he is just a kid. "Jin yelled at jimin.

Jimin glared at Jin, " He is not a kid , hyung ; He is a psych, trust me hyung if we keep him in, we are all going to die, he will kill us. " Jimin yelled at Jin while pointing at taehyung.

Jin just took a long deep breath, "Stop talking blunders jimin, he is just ten. I know he does weird things, that's okay , it is all a part of growing up. Even we did all sort of mischieves when we were young. So stop these suspicions of yours and don't hold a grudge against your brother. " Jin said trying to make jimin understand.

"Don't call him my brother. " Jimin said angrily and left to his room.

Jin just sighed, he went near taehyung who acted as if he was scared, "I -I don't know where matte is jimin hyung. Please don't hit me. " Tae said while looking down, fake tears rolling down his cheeks .

Jin gently picked him up, " I am sorry Tae Tae for what jimin did to you okay. Go to your room for now. Hyung will bring your first aid okay", he said softly caressing tae's hair.

Taehyung scoffed at that internally. He resisted his urge to roll his eyes and left to his room.

Jin then looked at kook who was still seated at the couch, his eyes showing real fear. He went near the toddler to touch him but suddenly kook flinched.

Jin picked kookie hugging him close to his chest, which made the baby cry loudly, Jin comforted him while kissing him, " I know you are scared... Baby.... Hyung is here " He said soothingly in his ears.
