Mr. Kim was sitting in his apartment, sipping on a cold coffee. The rhythmic clacking of his keyboard filled the room as he worked on his laptop. Suddenly, he paused and leaned back on the sofa with a sigh. "Why do I have this bad feeling?" he muttered, loosening his tie and unbuttoning the top two buttons of his shirt.

He quickly called his right-hand man. "Yes, sir! Do you need anything?" the man answered promptly.

Mr. Kim, feeling increasingly uneasy, replied, "You guys switched out the hacked watch, right? Keep a close eye on him. His trauma could be triggered at any moment."

"Yes, sir. We followed your instructions. We'll alert you if the signal activates," the man confirmed.

"Good," Mr. Kim said, ending the call. He glanced at his laptop screen, which displayed the ownership transfer documents for Kim Group. "I don't know if now is the right time to hand over what's rightfully yours Taehyung!!," he sighed.

Then He decided to take a shower to clear his head. After a while, he stepped out of the bathroom and walked toward his wardrobe to get dressed. Just then, his phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID on the nearby table, he saw it was his right-hand man. His eyebrows knit in concern as he answered the call.

"Sir, we got the alert. boss's heart rate spiked, and his blood pressure is high. It's a sign his trauma's been triggered," the man reported urgently.

"Track his location and send it to me," Mr. Kim ordered, quickly grabbing a shirt from his wardrobe. He put on his earbuds and dashed out, pulling on his shirt as he went.

"Sir, the signal keeps moving. He might be in a car," his man added.

Mr. Kim left his mansion, and his guard handed him the car keys. He got in the car and instructed, "Connect the tracker to my car's display." He ended the call and started the engine.

After a moment, Mr kim's car display showed Taehyung's location. It was pouring rain as Mr. Kim sped off. "No, Taehyung, you can't be driving in this situation. What triggered your trauma this time?" he muttered to himself, frustration evident in his voice. He accelerated the car to reach Taehyung as quickly as possible despite the heavy rain.

As Mr. Kim got closer to the signal, he saw Taehyung's car coming from the opposite direction. He prepared to stop by drifting his car into a blocking position. Just as he was about to turn, a speeding truck overtook him and smashed into Taehyung's car.

Mr. Kim's eyes widened in horror as Taehyung's car rolled and crashed. "Taehyung! No!" he shouted. The truck didn't stop, it left the scene making  mr kim suspicious.

Clenching the steering wheel in fury, Mr. Kim yelled, "Ji Hoon! I will kill you if something happens to my boy" He quickly got out of his car and ran towards Taehyung's wrecked vehicle.

Mr. Kim's heart pounded as he reached Taehyung's overturned car. He walked to the other side, with a  trembling voice he called, "Taehyung!" He saw Taehyung lying there, covered in blood and unconscious. He knelt down, cradling Taehyung in his arms, tapping his face frantically. "Taehyung, my boy, wake up!"

There was no response, and Mr. Kim started to cry, terrified of losing him. Suddenly, he heard a faint voice, "Uncle..."

Mr. Kim saw Taehyung weakly raising his hand. His own hands trembling, he hold Taehyung's and said, "Taehyung, you're stronger than this. Don't give up."

Through the pain, Taehyung managed a smile and whispered as he wasn't able to hide his tears, "Please... help me, Uncle. I want to find my red petal's... Allah... Please, I want to complete what I started. Help me find Allah."
