LANDING on the ground with a loud thud, Taehee whimpered when her right shoulder hit the cold floor, still tied on a chair. Before Jungkook left her when she blacked out, she noticed that he placed a duck tape on her lips to keep her from shouting.

Taehee knew him a little too well.

Of course it was 'unintentional'. Apparently, Jungkook was plain 'talkative', according to Taehee. But she could careless about that now because of her situation. Especially when she heard boxes dropping and scattering all over, a clear, positive meaning someone is there.

Scaring herself, she thought it was Jungkook so she started sweating and decided to stay quiet. She heard footsteps coming her way but luckily faded when she closed her eyes. Few moments later, the lights in the basement was turned on and Taehee was frightened at what she saw.

She was greeted by a glaring Yoongi.

"What the fuck are you doing?"

Every word that came out of the elder was like a threat that Taehee doesn't want to hear. She was even more frightened when Yoongi walked closer to her. Except for worrying, Yoongi was beyond angry. Out of fear, Taehee started crying and trembling, afraid at what the man was going to do.

Yoongi kneeled down to her and didn't even bothered untying her as he harshly removed the duck tape from her lips, earning a pained cry from Taehee. He didn't knew why but he lifted the girl, still tied in the chair and glared at her. Her warm, teary eyes met his icy, cold glaring eyes.

Somehow, Yoongi's heart ached seeing her state and remembered how he was begging for help and remembered his sister not giving a fuck and even dared to smirk before leaving him. That day, Yoongi have changed.

He knew he never needed help.

Not anymore.

But thinking about his childhood, made Yoongi furious. So he 'accidently' slapped Taehee, that echoed across the basement.

He just poured his anger at her.

When Yoongi saw her reaction, he couldn't stand the loud cries that came out of her. No, not because he was irritated..but because he was worried. Somehow, his face softened and he had the urge to hug her and say sorry. But he stopped himself.

Yoongi, stop! She is not Jennie!

He clearly remembered how his little sister used and took advantage of his kindness. "She used her fucking tears to make me look bad, I'm not falling for that trick again!" Taehee flinched at Yoongi's suddenly exclamation.

The elder noticed it and fell for the guilt building in his eyes as he saw the terrified look on Taehee's face. Out of shame, he turned his heel and left the basement, not even knowing why he went there in the first place.

But one thing he knows, is that he went there because he saw Jungkook carrying her to the basement.

In short, he got worried.

As Yoongi silently made his way to the kitchen, he found a crying Jin on the kitchen table with his favorite half-eaten strawberry ice cream on his side. He was looking at a photo while he was crying quietly.
