9.

Yn was sleeping on her bed after the long day. Yoongi had returned and Yn explained how she ended up drunk in Taehyung's house. Now Yoongi was sitting at the foot of Yn's bed looking at her with an unbelievable expression. "You...are just crazy" He sighed out looking at her sleeping peacefully after she almost revealed her true identity as X in front of Taehyung. He was puzzled how she managed to get out of there without being caught... which took his thoughts to Taehyung. Yoongi sighed again thinking Taehyung must've seen her face  and the mess yn was creating for herself. He might not show it but he cared for her like his own sister. He left the room not wanting to disturb her beauty sleep... 

A while later Yn jolted awake from another dream as tears streamed down her face like a waterfall.. "I still can't forget those awful memories... I might end up crazy if I don't do something quick.." She wiped her tears away with the back of her hand and peeled the blanket off her body rushing into the living room. "Yoongi?" She called for him and heard from the kitchen.. "Over here... " She went to the kitchen and looked at Yoongi seriously. 

"Is there any update Yoongi?" She asked him hastily. "Another nightmare?" Yoongi asked making Yn sigh and narrow her eyes. "I am fine anyway.." She shrugged and looked at him for the answer.. "No Yn... the file is not in his office. I am sure. I have searched Kim Taehyung's office too but that file and pendrive was nowhere to be found".. Yn nodded listening intently. "Yoongi.. It might be in Taehyung's house... " Yoongi raised a brow. "His doesn't have any security and don't you think it will be the most obvious reason why he thinks it would be the best spot... cuz no one suspects!" Yn exclaimed while Yoongi pondered her explanation. "Maybe... You might be right but we can't take any risk.." 

"I am willing to take this risk Yoongi.." Yn sounded determined when she said that. "Taehyung will take the bait... I don't know if he's really innocent. He's already seen my face and I have no option but to... end him" Yoongi looked at her surprised. "Are you crazy? He's not a trouble Yn". She shot a cold glare at Yoongi. "You can't trust that face..." Yoongi sighed and shook his head. "I just hope you'll realize before it's too late"... He said serving the food in a plate and putting it in front of Yn. She silently started eating without listening to Yoongi... "You know what Yoongi.." He flinched when she spoke suddenly after falling silent.. "I am scared to trust him. I.. When I trusted a face that time... it didn't end well and I wouldn't have suspected him because Taehyung is indeed his brother" Yn had her face hanging down and Yoongi knew what she was thinking... "you can't let his brother's doings intrude your thoughts yn... Act on your own instinct. I just hope you won't end up on the guilty side..." Yn sighed knowing Yoongi was still trying to show his gratitude and that he would do anything to protect her...She still remembered what makes him do that...

The night was cold. A man got out of the restaurant building completely exhausted. His back slouched and his mind thinking only of his comfy bed... Right when he was about to get into his car he felt a hit on his back and grunted falling on to the ground on his fours... "Got ya.."  He heard a feminine voice behind him... "Min Yoongi Min Yoongi... " He heard his name coming out of the girl's mouth in a sing-song tone. "W-what do you want?" Yoongi managed to say as he got back up turning to face the masked girl. The girl stepped forward and grazed her finger on his chest... "This... your life" She said tilting her head as if she was saying the most obvious thing... "You can have it.." Yoongi said bluntly while the girl seemed taken aback by the suddenness. She had seen people begging her to leave them but somehow this time it intrigued her... "But.." She heard Yoongi fumble with his fingers...She raised her brow curious to listen to his bid... Yoongi sighed and said "I have two brothers... one of them is in a hospital on the brink of his death and the other is missing ever since he was born... I have no hope of finding him but at least let me say goodbye to him.. please" The girl sighed internally. She pictured Yoongi as someone who has resigned to fate. "Fine" She replied nonchalantly and let Yoongi meet his brother in the hospital... She was curious why someone would offer such a big amount of money to kill someone who is this easy to get at.... 

She watched the whole seance. The way Yoongi held his dear brother's hand with glistening tears in his eyes... She paid attention when he started  to talk to the unconscious patient. "Yah Haeyang ah... Hyung is really sorry hm? I am sorry for not being able to protect y-you. I feel like a lost cause right now... I failed you. It seems I really can't fight over that Kim..." The girl jumped hearing the mention of the particular surname... Her eyes burned with anger... "I really thought standing firm would get something out but Haeyang ah.. let's be brothers again in the next life hm?" Yoongi wiped his tears and squeezed his brother's hand... "I feel ashamed... really" His voice was a whisper out of agony. The girl's eyes stung with an urge to tear up but she held back.. 

As though there was something that the unconscious brother understood the assignment. The heart rate monitor beeped for a long moment and stopped which had the girl gasping under her mask and Yoongi burst out in tears . The dead brother lay there peacefully as if he just lightened the burden off his brother's shoulders. The girl's hands shivered and she quickly put her hand in her pockets to cover them. Her heart leapt out at the emotional scene in front of her. 

Yn sighed remembering the deep seated memory when she first encountered Yoongi. She still shuddered from the memory.. The way Yoongi blamed himself for Hae yang's death and asked her to kill him voluntarily would still send her the chills... Now he was better. He doesn't blame himself anymore and carries himself more maturely. It almost occurred to her sometimes that Hae Yang might have died because of her but she knew she was wrong. It was the filthy society that killed him. Yoongi always treasured his brother's memories and somehow he saw his brother in Yn. She always knew Yoongi would be deeply impacted if something ever happens to her. He would be disappointed if she ends up on the guilty side... She gave it a thought... 'Must I not end him then?'... 'Why does Yoongi think Taehyung is the good guy?'
