Narration

As soon as Taeyong arrived back in the Philippines he didn't waste any time and drove to where Jaehyun is. He knew he'd be in his house right now and without any second thoughts, he drove faster than he ever did before.

As he parked his car right in front of the Jung's big wooden front door, he immediately called his name as loud as he can. Scandalously as he can get, he doesn't give a damn about it now.

Even before Taeyong's engine stopped by the front door, Jaehyun had already seen his car coming by the windows of his  own room. He suddenly felt nervous and scared as he heard how it's tire screech in the cemented way in their front yard.

He quickly got out of his room and run to meet his friend. But as soon as he had opened the door and met Taeyong's eyes, he knew his dead.

A balled fist came right in his left cheek making him step back. He knew it was coming. And he knew to himself he deserve that. Or even more than that. As if his thoughts were granted, Taeyong didn't stopped for just one punch. The later continued to throw more punches one after another until he felt tired, until Jaehyun had already been lying to the guy's own house's floor.

Jaehyun didn't even attempt to stop his friend from beating him, not even when he already felt blood dripping down from the side of his lips.

Taeyong kneeled out of tiredness next to his lying friend. But it didn't stopped there. With his remaining strenght, he pulled up Jaehyun by his collar and talk to his face.

"I have already warned you! But you never listen! Just look at what you have done!" Taeyong cried. It was a new sight of to see from Jaehyun's point of view. He have always admired how strong Taeyong is, and this is the first time he have seen him cry.

"I'm sorry Taeyong." His voice  cracked as he apologizes with regret. He didn't even realized he was crying already.

"Ano pang magagawa ng lecheng sorry mo? Nawawala na ang kapatid ko for two goddamn days. We didn't even know if they have been feeding her right!" He said full of angriness and worry. "Ba't kasi hindi ka nakinig saakin? Just fucking why?"

Jaehyun couldn't answer. He knew to himself he loved Bea so much and he also love Taeyong like a brother of his own and it hurts him deeply to have them involve in his family's problem and issue that resulted to this kidnapped incident. He feels embarassed to even look up at Taeyong in the eyes now.

"My family are doing all our best to settle this issue and save Bea. I'm really sorry Taeyong. I'm deeply sorry." He sobbed between his words.

Taeyong threw him on the floor as he let go of his grip on his collar. He stood up on his feet and looked down at Jaehyun who's still lying on the floor with bruises and bit bloods.

"Wala na akong pake. Sa oras na may nangyare'ng masama at kahit kaunting galos ang kapatid ko the moment she had been rescued, you're dead." And with that, Taeyong turned around and started to walk out of the Jung's mansion, towards his car and drove out of that place as he wipes his tears away.

Meanwhile Jaehyun didn't have the courage to atleast sit up and he remained on the marbled floor crying not because of his physical pain but because of the pain his feeling for loosing a Bea and a friend, Taeyong.
