~The Letter (Pt. 3)~

Its funny how noona was desperately searching for my amulet. Was it extraordinary? Eomma said it was given to her by a saint when I was born to protect me from all evil. All these years it stayed with me like a part of my body, and now it was not present after Minwoo took it in that oddly vivid dream.

That dream. His distorted face. His screeches. His promise.

His promise to make me his. Thinking about that dream made chills run down my spine.

Noona was frightened once I told her about my dream. She even went out to check his grave and since she returned, she is looking for amulet everywhere.

It has been 3 days and I am still not recovering from fever. Every movement is causing me each ounce of strenght I can muster, every movement is irritating me beyond any explanation.

"Noona!" I huffed tiredly while calling her. No answer. The seaweed soup she left me was cold but wasn't it just a while ago she came to feed me? I got up from the mattress with great difficulty, my head spinning hard.

"noona where are you?". Just pindrop silence. As if whole world has crashed and I am the lone survivor.

After few moments my vision cleared slightly, looking at window it was all dark. Since how long I was passed out? And where is Noona?

I slowly dragged myself up to get out of Noona's room. After the incident I could not stay in that room. She had written letters to Appa to return urgently. I wish you had received our message. Maybe I could have escaped the tormentous walls of my home. My own house is suffocating me and now all I want is freedom.

Taking small steps, I came out to find nothing but empty house. Noona didn't lightened up the lanterns and whole house was engulfed in thick darkness and wild silence. My heart was thumping loud, the whole atmosphere sinistrous.

"Noona" I heard my croacked voice, the only stir in this heavy moment.

Suddenly from stairs a creaking sound came followed by thud. A minute passed and panic started to settle in my guts. Why is Noona not answering my calls? Is she ok?

I heard movement above. What if Noona got injured? Despite my weak state I sprinted up the stairs. There was darkness everywhere in the house. As I came on floor's landing, only in one room there was a gleam of light -Appa's library.

I found my way to that room. Eunseo noona knew about Appa's possessiveness for his library. She should not be there. I slowly found my way to the room with door slightly opened a mere streak of light throwing sinister shadow. As I neared the door, I heard a heart-rending cry of a woman. The panic boiling in gut, I went forward. Peeping through the door, the sight ahead made my heart stop.

Two pairs of eyes were looking back at me, the horror in eunseo noona's eyes, her lifeless, badly gashed face, blood oozing out of her neck.

And her body, seperated from her head twitching infront of fireplace.

A whimper escaped my lips slowly, as my tearful eyes met his.

The eyes of demon.

Blazing with volumes of anger. Revenge. Malice.

"This bitch tried to get rid of me! Burying me in a jungle? Digging my grave while crying for me?!"

Minwoo has returned. With wrath of hell.

Eomma do you remember once Appa got really angry at me for ruining his book, and he came after me. You said I ran like earth quake was after me. I kept running unless I left appa behind. But not today.

I ran with same fear when he advanced. No one was here to keep me safe and I had to escape.

His laugh erupted behind me, and I was roughly pushed from stairs. Every step making rough contact with my ribs, head, legs.

I again saw him laughing at me when I stopped at base of stairs. He was absolutely gleeful. Torturing me was giving him satisfaction. The horrendous face more rottened now since I saw him in dream.

The pain was blinding. Body throbbing horribly. Something warm and wet was tickling down my neck. And I could not move.

A painful shriek escaped my lips when I tried to get up. My ankle twisted at weird angle.

"You thought killing me would set you free dongsaeng?" He said coming downstairs. "You disrespected your hyung boy. You think I will not punish you?" His pungent smell started to evade my senses. "You are not strong Jimin. You are nothing against me."

My body was glued at spot with fear. "Look at me Jimin. Even after death, all I want is you. Tonight I will make you mine. Forever".

He was getting close. Every step, and my doom evident in his eyes.

With one last attempt I shuffled back to get away from him.

"Do I disgust you Jimin? Does hyung scares his little jiminie?" I kept shuffling back, my tongue melted with fear.

"DOES HYUNG SCARES YOU JIMIN?!" Minwoo bellowed.

"Hyung.. Please no! I am your dongsaeng. Your brother! Don't do this hyung! I beg for mercy!"

I begged.

Suddenly I was lifted on my broken feet, loud painful scream pierced through the silence of night.

"Mercy? Did you showed any mercy for my feelings? I wanted to love you"

"Hyung no"

"And what you did to your poor hyung?"

I felt a sharp sting on my cheek where he slapped me.

"You showed me disrespect"

My breath turned erratic with pressure on my throat.

"You want mercy? You will beg me for mercy with every breath you will take".

I was thrown across the room, glass shrads puncturing my skin. But I didn't felt any pain. Finally I was numb.

"Let's end what we started - Jimin" and my world came crashing down.

It has been another 3 days Eomma. A day of centuries where I am ripped off of my sanity, pride, my will to live.

I waited for you both, but you never returned. The smell at house is becoming unbearable. I can hear the flies buzzing over eunseo noona's corpse. She is dead but I hear her every night. Crying in pain. Begging for mercy. Just like your son.

And then he comes. At same time. To dishonor me. To give new bruises to my already flail body.

I am done living this torturous life. I cannot bring any further disgrace to family.

Forgive me for my weakness Appa. Forgive me for giving up Eomma. Your son loves you. But I have to leave. Thinking, what I did to deserve this? Why could not I be saved? Is evil that powerful?

Please forgive me. For I cannot take anymore.

Your loving son,

Park Jimin.
