Chapter 11: Love Maze

The masked man turned his body around, admiring EunSoo's room. Everything was similar to the person she had once been. A gentle chuckle erupted from the man as he turned towards the mirror. His brown orbs had peeked through the small opening made for his eyes.

Suddenly, the man clutched his head in pain. His ears began to ring as the throbbing pain in his head became unbearable. Falling to his knees, he accidentally knocked over a wooden box, opening it in the process.

A particular picture of Jin caught Jack's attention. It was the time when Jin and EunSoo had gone to the movies together at midnight. No one was there so they were able to watch 2 movies together by sneaking out when the first movie had finished. Jack remembered the sweet and innocent smile EunSoo had. That was also the day Jack had realized EunSoo had feelings for Jin.

In frustration Jack clenched his fists, but oddly a warmth started to fill his body. Was he happy that EunSoo had feelings for Jin? Jack shook his head knowing too well that it was impossible. Why on earth would he be happy if the woman he had loved for the past 200 years loved another man?

Jack looked down sadly not knowing why he was not as angry as he should be. Jin was the person in the way of him and EunSoo, so why wasn't he angry?

"You got some nerve coming here" Yoongi stated in a low whisper causing Jack to tense.

"Ahh, if it isn't Yoongi? What have you been up to Suga? Or was it Agust D?" Jack asked as he smirked behind his mask.

Yoongi narrowed his eyes, "How did you know those names? There were only a few people that knew those names. Suga, the name given to me by the members and... Agust D, the name only Jin and Taehyung knew... How did you know of them? They told me that you used to be a friend of ours, but to be honest I don't remember you at all. There were only eight of us counting Y/N, so who are you?"

Jack shrugged his shoulders, "You clearly don't have your memory back. I wouldn't be surprised if Jin somehow altered it... Or maybe you did? Did you alter your memory so that you won't feel guilty? Guilty about leading us to our death?"

Yoongi widened his eyes, this was the first time he had heard that he had lead Y/N to her death. Narrowing his eyes towards Jack he asked, "What do you mean? I haven't lead anyone to their deaths. From what I can remember, we were betrayed by Hoseok who had loved Y/N. Y/N only had eyes for Jin, but was forced to marry Hoseok because her family found her again. Hoseok, being blind with rage after finding out Y/N was carrying the child of Jin swore to kill her and end his life. We were all on the run and each of us were killed... and not just us, our families were also killed. So that leaves the question, who are you? You don't fit anywhere in our past. I tried to do research on my own, but I came up with nothing. Just who are you?"

The throbbing pain in Jack's head was getting worse at Yoongi's probing. He knew he had to get out. Trying not to get noticed, Jack quickly pulled out a gun and shot Yoongi in the chest. Blood stated to flow down his chest as he fell to his knees with a thud. Jack took this opportunity to push Yoongi aside and run for it.

"Da**..." Yoongi stated as he was quickly losing consciousness.

"Where is everybody when you need them?!" He muttered as he tried to stand, only to fall back down, knocking another box over in the process.

A small object caught Yoongi's attention. It was a carving of a mask on a wooden block.

"What is this? This can't be!" Yoongi exclaimed as he brought the wooden block to his eye level for a closer examination. Yoongi gasped when he saw that it was a replica of the mask and outfit Jack had adorned.

"Why was this in the box EunSoo played with as a child?" Yoongi asked to an empty room as his head began to throb. Knowing too well that he was about to faint from the wound in his chest, he quickly hid the wooden block in the hidden pocket of his jacket.
