My feet step on the uneven path, getting closer to the dark abandoned building in front. Pushing the loud squeeky gate, I march down to the building lobby. Inside I spot a dozen of knife either lying on the floor or stabbed on the wall. I sigh and start to collect all of them one by one, placing it behind a worn out painting that have hooks in it. I flash some lights from my phone and went upstairs to the fourth floor.

I meet a large door in front made with mahogany and curved with each kind of spiral. Before I went inside the room, I pick up a thick book sitting on a drawer beside the door. Then I went inside the dark room.

"I'm hom-"

My hand brought the book in front of my face as a knife stabbed it, followed by several knife also hitting the book.

The lights lit up, revealing an empty room but the rapid footstep I heard made me quickly spin and use the book to caught a knife which was on this little kid's hand. Before he can start his next move, I pull the book to my back, making the knife and him stumbled down. My hand slithered around his tiny neck, head locking him as he start to squirm on my hold.

"I give up! I give up!"he scream. I only laugh and slowly let him go.

"Making improvement I see, huh?" I ask him, crossing my hand on my chest. My eyes follow his movement while he quitely unstabbing the knife from the book.

"Yeah..and you manage to caught me earlier than I've calculated.."he mumble lowly. I sigh walking to his side.

"Hey, That's okay to make mistake. Everyone does. We learn from our mistake, Taegi.."I said to him, placing my hand on his shoulder. He gave me a small smile but that's enought for me to know he's okay with it. Then he start to take off the bobby traps on the door. I raise an eyebrows at him.

"Wait, how come I didn't ecounter any one of those?"He shrug.

"You're an expert with bobby traps, but how?"I ask in disbelieve.

"Maybe hyung did it. Since he saw me placing the bobby traps around.."He said. Looking at me with a grinning face.

"Hyung? Hyung who? Is it any of your hyung which I don't know?"he roll his eyes at me.

"Who do you think is it that helped you not getting any hit of my bobby traps?"my eyes lit up in second.

"Jimin did?!"I ask in a high pitch voice.

Taegi nod. Placing his traps on the basement door, he walk to me and take off of my leather jacket from my shoulder, hang it on the hanger near the door.

"Yeah. He brought some new documents for you. We chat for some times before he left saying he has something to do with the gang. I heard sound of clicking and perhaps he really did sabotaged my bobby trap." he said. I laugh with hint of blushing on my cheeks. I ruffle his soft chocolate hair.

"How's your day? Got any fish outside?" Taegi ask slumping himself on the worn out sofa but was covered with thick layer fabrics. I grin

"Got the rare victorian's jewelleries and gucci.."his eyes widened as big as saucer, but soon it drop in disappointment.

"..but you'll use it for the debt isn't it? For my future guarentee AND for whatever that is important to you."

My grin fell, replaced with a sad smile. "..yeah. But there's money for our life necesities. Just not as much as last time.."

It's been like that and I can't help but feel sorry everytime I got the money from things I stole, but I can't give him everything he want.

My debt is almost paid off, money for his future is fine and I can guarentee his future will have a high education enough for him to get a job, but what important is my dad..
