"Yah, you checked out the city already?"

Taehyung turned his head to Jungkook to see what he's doing.

"Yeah I did, two new people. We gonna be cruising round town later."

Jungkook grinned and stood up from his table. "Hold up" He yelled from outside the room and came back in.

"I kinda wanna kill someone today, you in?"

Taehyung nodded.

"Of course I am, let's see"

They went to the wall where the pictures of every single person in town were hanging, including themselves and also tourists.

"Who would be a nice victim..."

They stared at the pics until Taehyung made a move.

He picked the picture of a young man, about twenty years, dark brown hair, brown eyes, and teared the pic in two- his name is Lee Yeong.

He's my best friend.

I was woken up by a loud shooting noise outside and went to the window to peek at the happening.

There were people running away to save themselves and not be the next ones to get shot.

I turned on the TV to watch the news,
I'm sure they are reporting already.

-"the victim was a young man who tragically suffocated from a shot right in the heart. We have no clue who the offender was, but we wish his family and friends good luck in these dark times and rest in peace to Lee Yeong."

Wait, did I -

Did I understand this right?

I hushed to the window again, but I could only identify the policemen and ambulances who were shown in the news right now.

I decided to check it by myself.

"Yeong!" I ran to the area where it happened, unfortunately blocked by the police.

Anyways.

I made my way through the barriers and got to face the truth as some policemen pulled me back.

It was really him.

I really lost my best friend to some dumbasses who amuse themselves with killing.

Tears ran down my cheeks.

"Did you see who shot him?"
One of the policemen asked me.

"No, I just came here to see who is the victim," I gasped for air.

"Please, if you find the people who did this, let me know."

"Another one. Nice shot" Taehyung said to Jungkook who was just packing his sniper rifle back in.

"Thanks" He said slightly smirking.

"Wait" Taehyung stopped him.
"What" He looked at Taehyung.
"You see that girl over there? At the same place where you shot him"
"Yeah, what's with her?"

Taehyung gulped.

"She might know too much"

I got home with so many thoughts in my head that I just let myself fall on my bed.

I know that a big part of me went missing now.
I know that nobody is going to replace him.
But i also know that I have to live along with this.

I stood up from my bed and took my wallet to put it into my bag, then put my shoes on to go outside for a bit.

I decided not to cross the accident again so I could free my mind and let go of everything.

I actually wanted to go for a walk in the park, but I ended up in a bar.

"Refill it please" I gave my glass to the Barkeeper and continued taking shots back to back.

I was definitely not sober.

I was actually ready to let myself go and deal with being an alcoholic.

Time stopped.

I saw everything rushing around me - my eyes met with a masked guy until he disappeared in the crowd again.

I tried finding him again.

There was he - no. It wasn't him, but another man, instead of brown he had black hair.

He looked back at me and then turned around, he was gone now too.

I was kind of dizzy, may be a result of drinking so much alcohol.

But I made myself stand up until I felt a warm breath on my neck.

"You're next."
