For many years, the Parks have been servants to the Mins after a gruelling battle of the Kim and Park families. The youngest daughter of the Park family had been kidnapped and commanded to bring interest with the money they already owed to the Kims, or else, they wouldn't live to see their daughter's smiling face ever again. They were in huge debt to the Kims and couldn't pay it off due to their shares being stolen by the Jeon family, since the Mins were very close trading partners with the Parks, they agreed to give a share of their money to help them pay off their debt. But with such a huge fortune given to their neighbouring friends as well as saving a child, they wanted more than just friendship given back to them. And so, the Parks vowed they would be ever loyal to the Mins and give them whatever they desired till their line eventually got cut off by whatever barren woman married into the family, or born into it. Provided the Parks had he power to do such things, they would do all they could to make whatever the Mins wanted, happen.

Generations past, and a woman who married into the Min family became pregnant with a male heir. Most everything seemed to be going well, peace appeared to be engulfing them, but it was only a matter of time before their happiness diminished. Seven months into the baby's development in the womb, the doctor told them the baby would not be born healthy. They said something about his heart being unstable and weak. Once the baby was born, he would be feeble, wouldn't be able to run like other children, walking would be a difficult task in itself and they couldn't guarantee his life being longer than thirty years.

Nonetheless, the baby was born. They didn't believe someone born into the Min family would sustain such a weak heart. Mrs. Min had produced a baby boy to take over their fortunes and uphold their family name. The boy was given the name Min Yoongi, a pale beauty, they called him, a bachelor button among their family members. The Mins didn't think they'd had such a gorgeous heir in their entire family's history. It seemed the baby was just born that beautiful.

However, as the doctor had predicted, his heart was a feeble one. It could either be replaced, or Yoongi would live a life full of days spent in bed, wondering whether the next day would be his last. They rejected the latter, and ordered for there to be a solution to the problem other than to let Yoongi suffer for the rest of his life.

"Master Yoonbin..." the head of th Park servants called for the head of the Min house. He gulped when his old friend looked at him with shocked eyes.

"Why are you being so formal Jiho?" he laughed, through his stressed white hairs. "We've been friends for nearly twenty years, I don't even see you as my servant anymore, you're my best friend, despite our histories."

"Yeah, right I got it no formal talk." the greying man replied. "Your kid.." Yoonbin frowned finally. "...he's not well?"

Yoon bin nodded. "and it doesn't seem like he'll ever be well, he has a weak heart."

"I know you told me to forget our family histories but..." Jiho replied, hesitant of what he was going to suggest. "...but we owe you a debt, one of our lives..."

"What are you implying?" Jiho gulped once again.

"What if...I gave you one of my children?"

"but you don't have any kids."

"not yet... one of them could have a strong heart and.... they could..."

"you're actually crazy." Yoonbin almost backed away from how maniacally delusional he was being at that moment in time, it was like he was speaking to an entirely different person.

"yeah, I'm a mental case for wanting to repay my family debt."

"crazy for sacrificing a child, your child." he was out of his mind, how could he play with life so carelessly? His own child, killing his own child. He'd do it, without much hesitation.

"let me do this Yoonbin..."

"you're crazy..." he repeated, and that time he did back away, so far he left the room in disgust and utter fear. His friend didn't seem to be his friend at that moment. It was like he was desperate to let go of their heritage.

But because fate had a way of playing with lives and messing up routines in the most painful of ways, Yoongi was put into the danger zone. He was three years old and he'd collapsed. Rushed to the hospital and was in desperate need of a blood transplant. His wife had been in a car accident when her son collapsed, so she too was in the hospital with a few injuries, and Yoongi's father didn't have the same type of blood as he did. Yoonbin was running out of options, his son was a rare blood type of AB negative, one of the rarest bloods in the world. Where was he going to find someone in Korea with the blood type of AB negative? At this time the night as well.

"Are you ready to agree to my proposal yet?" Jiho's voice boomed throughout the hospital ward. It was like all Yoonbin could hear was the sound of his voice. Yoonbin turned around to look at his best friend, finding that he had two children wrapped around his legs.

"Who are..?"

"My children, Minji..." he rested a hand on the child with pigtails on, as she gripped tighter onto her father's trousers. "...and Jimin." He patted the boy's back, his eyes almost watering at the sight of the child in the hospital bed, was he dead? He was so pale he couldn't tell whether the person was alive.

"No..." he shook his head.

"What choice do you have?!" Jiho cut him off. "Your child is going to die if we don't do something!" He said firmly. "It's only blood...it's not his heart yet."

"You're really dedicated to your work aren't you?" Yoonbin looked back at Yoongi's sleeping face, knowing he wouldn't have much longer if he didn't act fast.

"Always have been," Jiho scoffed. "my children have been genetically engineered to have AB negative blood, genetically engineered to have their hearts implanted into yours. An organ shop if you will." He put his children forward. "Take your pick, they're both perfect for your child's heart transplant." They looked scared, the hearts in their chests probably beating like drums, quaking with fear.

"Why?" Why indeed, this question is still unanswered today, why was it that it was so imperative that Jiho gave his children as organ donors to Yoonbin? Any normal father would refuse to have his offspring used for such an inhumane reason, but he went a step ahead and genetically engineered them to be perfect for Yoongi's body. Yoongi's organ donors, with angelic faces and innocence looming over them...
