Lost | k.t.h ✔

45.

'Andwae...' I muttered to myself. Taehyungie??? While I was staring at it in silent disbelief, I could swear that it was him even though he too looked like he was four or five. I knew all of his features more than I knew of myself. His straight nose, his dark brown eyes with one mono-lid and one double eyelid, his full lips, his perfect face...but HOW? It wasn't possible...they were brothers? But Tae didn't have any siblings! And both of them are the same age! I peered more closely at the photo wishing that my eyes were deceiving me. But no. At this point I was stuck in a situation where I was doubting myself and didn't know what to believe.

Lost puzzle pieces started to fill my brain, making me more confused.

Was Taehyung lying when he said that he didn't have a sibling? No, it can't be. Maybe they didn't know that they were brothers all this time because the truth was hidden and never surfaced before today?

I recalled Jungkook's words when we were at my house. 'I don't even have any memory of my childhood before I was five. My thoughts are like all erased'

But TAE??...What about him? My hands were shaking as I gripped the photo between my fingers. There were so many BUT's and HOW's wrecking my brain and I couldn't take it. Was this some kind of a joke? I glanced at the photo once more. Mrs. Kim looked so younger but I'm sure it was her too. Before I could think another single thought, I heard a deep voice behind me and I stiffened, my entire body going numb.

'Excuse me miss? May I know what the hell you're doing here?' Jungkook's father's voice echoed through my head, making every cell of my body engulf in fear.

Holy shit.

I turned around slowly to see Jungkook's dad standing by the door, his face grim. My hands tightened around the photo frame which I was hiding behind me.

'Um-nothing' I forced the words out of my mouth, staring straight at Mr.Jeon.

He shut the door behind him and walked towards me, his face unreadable. I took a step back each time he took a step forward.

Until my back hit a plain wall and I was trapped.

'What do you mean by nothing miss?' he hissed and I bit my lip without thinking.

'Um-I w-was on m-my way to the b-bathroom and a- I got lost' I couldn't stop my voice from stuttering as he moved closer to me, inches away. My memory flashed again and again of the accident 13 years ago and now I could swear that it was Jungkook's dad who bumped his car and made my dad lose control of the wheel. I was standing in front of the man who killed my dad; who took away one of the most precious lives from me.

He took a second to scan the room and turned back to me. 'How much did you see and where is the photo?' his tone was grave and evil.

I gulped. He knew the photo was missing. And in a few minutes he would know that the diary was gone too...I had to get out of here right now.

'I don't know' I lied while I held the photo very tightly behind me. 'Can I please go now?'

'You're not going anywhere' he smiled evilly making my heart beat in double speed. Without warning he pinned me to the wall with one of his strong hands and pulled out a gun from his coat; aiming it at my head.

My eyes widened and I screamed. I tried to step away from his grasp but failed as his grip was so strong and unyielding on my shoulder and the cool metal feeling of the gun on my forehead was deadly and threatening. I struggled as I screamed more loudly.

'If you scream once more, there will be a bullet inside of your head in a second' he warned and I stiffened, biting my lip. My hands were shaking as I tensed up.

'TELL.ME.WHAT.YOU.SAW' his face was contorted in rage as he spat the words one by one pressing the gun harder to my forehead.

'I-I didn-' I was cut off as I saw the door fly open and Jungkook standing behind it, a look of worry etched on his face. He glanced at the room in confusion and when he saw me pinned to the wall with his dad pointing a gun at me, his eyes bulged in shock.

He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out.

'Please tell me that I'm hallucinating right now' he stared at the man in front of me in disbelief. A sense of relief washed over me when I saw Jungkook. Due to the fact that my hands were shaking and sweating so badly, I lost my grip on the photo and it fell out of my fingers, the glass shattering to the floor.

Everyone looked down at the broken photo frame and the family photo which was now fully exposed. Jungkook came back to his senses and blinked after a moment.

'W-What are you doing?? Why are you pointing a GUN at her?' Jungkook looked at his dad in horror and came forward in two long strides and shook his dad away from me, but his dad squeezed my shoulder tighter without letting me move.

Jungkook's face shifted to an uncertain and angry look as he forced his dad away, his muscular hands stronger than his dad's grip.

He pushed him aside and stood before me protectively.

'WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?' Jungkook snapped, breathing heavily.

'He was the one who killed my dad!' I croaked and Jungkook's shoulders stiffened.

'What?' Jungkook said, taken completely off-guard.

'AND WHY WAS TAEHYUNG IN YOUR FAMILY PHOTO???' I yelled as Jungkook stared at the photo under his feet and then at his dad in confusion. He picked it up slowly and gasped.

'What on earth is going on here?' Jungkook swore as his eyes darted towards the walls and then at the photo.

'It's none of your business' Jungkook's dad spoke roughly.

'OF COURSE IT'S MY BUSINESS!! YOU WERE TRYING TO KILL HER AND THEN THERE'S THIS FAMILY PHOTO--'

'Get out here, I have a problem to discuss with this miss right here who snooped into here without permission' he boomed at Jungkook who looked at me in frustration just for a second before continuing to glare at his dad.

'I dunno about that but you have NO RIGHT TO KEEP HER AT GUN POINT' he screeched. 'You know what-' Jungkook turned to me sideways. 'Go home or anywhere else you think is safe. I'll deal with this. Go now!' he whispered.

I nodded and stepped out of his circle of protection just as Jungkook's dad advanced towards me.

'You're not going anywhere young lady' he said as I ran to the door.

'Yes she is, and leave her alone' Jungkook sidestepped his dad blocking him from getting me as I dashed out of the room.

My heart was racing as I sprinted down the stairs and out of the main door to the garden. I saw a black maserati sports car parked in the corner that I hadn't noticed before. But I didn't stop till I was finally out of the gate to the road which was one place that I was familiar with.

I ran and ran till I reached my house but then again if Jungkook's dad was going to come after me because I knew about his criminal work; this was the first place he was going to look for me.

I stopped short; my heart was beating incredibly fast. Then I felt something in my pocket.

The diary.

After all the unexpected things that happened, I had actually forgotten about it. I had to go somewhere safe and read it.

But my options were limited. And I had nowhere to go.
