"His mother was... suicidal. She always had been. We're not entirely sure ourselves since when and why because even Yoongi doesn't know, but he bets its something to do with his dad and his mistress."

"Mr. Min has a mistress...?" I wonder aloud.

"Correction - had. I see you've already met the father?" Jun Hee smirks.

"No, he's actually my boss. I work as an intern for his company."

"Wow, shit just got real!" She laughs, clapping as everyone agrees with her.

"Why?"

"Well, here's the thing, Baby Girl." I grit my teeth at the nickname coming out of Hyeok's mouth. "Mr. Min or whatever you call that bastard, isn't even his real dad. His real dad died in a car accident when he was three-years-old. Then came your boss, and he married Yoongi's mom. When Yoongi was nine, his step-dad got a mistress. She came around so often and Yoongi's real mother was gone so often that he came to believe that Mr. Min's side hoe was his real mother. This mistress... I don't know how you're going to take this." He stopped.

"Please, just tell me, already." I beg.

"If you say so... don't be too surprised." He inhales and exhales before he begins again.

"Yoongi's real mother - the suicidal one - was insane. And I mean insane. When she found out about her second husband's mistress, she attempted murder. She locked her up in the attic and even ordered people to torture her. They severed off her fingers little by little and whipped her until she died. Even after she died, she got them to disembowel her."

I felt like throwing up. I could feel the vomit rising up my throat. "W-What?"

"She was insane... it isn't that surprising that she even had the thought of disem--"

"Just go on," I urged, wanting the story to be over with already.

Hyeok nods as the rest of them watch in curiousity as if it's the first time they're hearing this story - but I bet it isn't.

"At this point, Yoongi was eleven. The little guy didn't know how to feel when he saw his real mother, who he thought was his dad's mistress, throw the box of different body parts into the river below a cliff. Instantly, Yoongi ran up to her and started an argument. She started to break down and cry. She tried explaining that she was his mother and that she didn't kill the mistress. But Yoongi wouldn't have it. The evil bitch had convinced him that his mother was the mistress. His mother started to wail that it wasn't meant to turn out this way and it would've been better if she was dead. And that was it. Yoongi pushed her off the cliff. He watched her fall into the river with a splash and she never rose back up again - at least not in time for Yoongi to see. The eleven-year-old felt no remorse until his father beat him that day when he found out. He was taken away by Social Services because he lived with such a messed up family. The mistress was ruled murdered by his mother and his mother's death was ruled as a suicide. Only then did Yoongi realise the situation and he regret it for the rest of his life up until the present. Just until last year, when he got money from winning all these competitions did he buy a house and his father began speaking to him again - but that didn't necessarily mean that Yoongi wanted to speak to him, who neglected him for six years."
