The dreadful silence surrounds them, the person on the ground is in pain after all he's been shot in leg and Jeongguk remains bewildered.

Brain has stopped function and clouds of confusion has surrounded around it.

"Haru" Jeongguk whispers and the aforementioned male looks up, eyes red and vision blurred.

"Finally huh, the person who attempted to kill your father is here" Haru grits his teeth and his voice is tainted with pure mock ness but not guilt. Jeongguk feels his blood run cold.

"Why would you do that!" Jeongguk roars, eyes red with anger and rage running in his veins. Haru clicks his tongue.

"Your father - - Daewon. He is a venom and that venom is running in your blood - - afterall he's your father" Haru laughs but Jeongguk pulls the trigger and presses the gun on Haru's head.

"Why would you try to kill Daewon" Jeongguk asks again this time, sternly.

"Isn't it clear? Think about it Jeongguk, what possibly can make me try to kill your father--huh!" Haru rolls his eyes and Jeongguk is in no mood to argue or play this little game.

"He killed my brother!" Haru yells, Jeongguk furrows his brows in confusion, brain trying to register what he just said.

"What?" Jeongguk asks, dumbfounded.

Haru snickers at that. "What happened? Can't believe it" He mocks him. Jeongguk purses his lips in his thoughts.

"You are lying" Jeongguk's voice is small and unsure making Haru laugh.

"You know very well what Daewon can do. He is a monster" Haru barks.

"No - - he won't kill an innocent person" Jeongguk seems conflicted. For money - - Daewon can do anything.

"My brother used to work for him and when he ordered him for shooting a woman - - my brother refused and that caused him his life" "'Haru cries.

" do you know why my brother refused? "Haru asks in a small voice and stands up, refraining a urge to scream from the pain yet he doesn't.

" Because that woman was pregnant " Haru glares at him and Jeongguk's hand shake.

Jeongguk clenches his jaw and throwing a last glare at Haru - - - he leaves.

Haru calls Jimin and tells him what happened.

Reaching back, Taehyung scolds Haru for being careless and almost ruining their plan.

"I tried to shoot him but that fucker dodged" Haru hisses when Jimin wraps the bandage around his leg, good thing that the bullet passed through the flesh.

"You did what!" Taehyung's eyes widen at that.

"Don't hurt Jeongguk" Taehyung orders, leaving everyone surprised. No matter what ------ if Jeongguk got hurt - - the mere thought makes Taehyung's stomach churn in a bad way and he doesn't wants to imagine that

"Why do you care much about Jeongguk?" Jimin asks this time and Taehyung is scared because - - he himself doesn't know the answer.

Why did he said that?

"He - - he has nothing to do with this all. It was Daewon not Jeongguk" Taehyung defends Jeongguk and he doesn't even know why.

"Are you defending Jeongguk?" Haru asks in disbelief and Taehyung gulps but stays firm.
