26: It's Him

Irene's POV

Jungkook and Taehyung were forcefully dragging the burglar into the basement as he had gained consciousness. He kept on resisting. Taehyung, having a short temper shoved him harshly. He tumbled down the stairs pretty fast even though Tae had no bad intentions. We all were in shock for a couple of seconds until we broke the silence and all burst out laughing.

In between our giggles, Tae finally asked if he was okay...

"Are you still alive?!" He yelled so his deep and pretty sexy voice could travel to the bottom of the staircase.

In response we heard a painful groan and mumbling of swear words.

"Okay Hyung, let's go down and get some answers." Jungkook said rolling up his sleeves. This kid was eager to beat him to pulp.

I wanted some answers too. Of why Jung Soo uncle is after Tae's family, and not leaving him alone. He already left a bad influence on my father. Leading him to drugs and violence. I knew Jung Soo uncle did the illegal businesses himself. He would have tons of money and wouldn't have to bother anyone for more.

I qucikly got a hold of Taehyung's arm.

"I want to go down there too."

"You can't go down there Hyun-ah. It won't be safe." He said, wanting me to be safe.

"Please! I can give you background information on Jung Soo uncle. I can be your support, and... uh... I can even help beat him up with a rock! Pleeeeeeease???!!!" I begged giving him my puppy eyes. Taehyung's expression had softened.

I went in for the kill by looking at Jungkook with my cute begging face, then looked down as if I was sad. I could faintly hear Taeyeon Omma and Yeri laughing. Luckily the boys didn't notice.

"Soooooo???"

"Y-y-you can come d-down with us." Taehyung said before snapping back into reality. He turned and started walking down with Jungkook trailing behind him, with me following them like a shadow.

We came down and saw the criminal laying in pain, wincing on the floor.

He must've sensed our presence surrounding him, as he had his eyes closed when he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Oh, you kids are here?" He continued laughing. We all looked at each other as we were all thinking that he is mentally sick.

"Yah, the kid I was suppose to kill," I looked up at Tae, his eyes not moving off of the harshly beat man on the floor.

Tae's eyes were filled with anger and a hint of fear.

"Your friend, Jungkook, I think his name is. He's very strong and smart. You lucked out that you were with your friends. If you had caught me at your doorstep, I would have won the fight against you."

Taehyung had scoffed in disbelief.

"If you were so confident, why did you start running away?" Jungkook added.

"Ohhhh, Jungkook ah. You're here too? The only reason I ran away was because I realized you were there, running 80 miles an hour towards me you dumbass."

"Yah! Mind your language." Tae burst out. One of the things he hated the most was disrespect.

"Oh that reminds me. Taheyung ah, where's your girlfriend, Irene?"

"You don't need to involve her in this."

"I actually do. She knows some things about my boss that would only cause danger for me.  Also to be honest with you, I thought any girl that would date you would look like a slug. But when I saw her get she was out of the car... It was lust at first sight. She's really pretty. She has a nice body too. You really hit the jackpot- AHH, YOU SON OF A - !!"

He screamed in pain as both Jungkook and Taehyung had kicked him in the stomach. As a result, he started to cough out blood. All I could see of his face was his eyes and mouth as he was still wearing a mask. Now when he was coughing out red fluid, his mouth was barely visible. 

He had a familiar aura. I think I've met him somewhere before.

"Don't talk about Irene out of your fifthly mouth again. It will be the reason for your death."

Jungkook had lifted the criminal's fragile and weak body onto a wooden chair, that was sitting lonely in the corner of the back and smallest room in the basement. They brought up two other chairs so they could sit on it while interrogating. They were signalling me to come over and sit with them but I was fine watching from a distance.

It was really scary. Seeing two of the closest men in my life that were always loving, funny and caring around me, turning into a wild beast, that had no mercy and only knew what violence was.

They ripped off his mask. Tilting his head upwards.

His face was quite handsome but old. He looked like he was in his mid 40s. He had a five o'clock shadow beard, nice hazel eyes and jet black hair. He was pure Korean. I kept staring at him. Trying to figure out where I have seen him.

I suddenly remember all of my dates with Tae and hanging out with the rest of Bangtan. Then in the hallways of the school. He was always there, watching us.

He's the school janitor...
