Blood, Sweat And Tears

Part Nine

             Jimin smashed the thumb drive to pieces against the wall.
             The veins in his arms popped out as the pieces fell with a metallic clang. Sweat slowly ran down his temples. Blood and tears were littered all across his torso.
             " Jihyo lied. She lied. SHE LIED!" He screamed. The slammed his fist repeatedly on the thick wall. " You lied, Jihyo. My blood, sweat and tears . . . They were all for you. All I did was for you. And you repaid me with this."
              Jimin's eyes hardened. He wiped the the blood,sweat and tears off his body. Wiping away everything he sacrificed for his sister. Wiping Jihyo away.
               "It seems that the dragon must have two heads now, Jihyo," he growled.
            The walk to his sister's room was short. It was just down the hallway his room was located. He threw the door.
             Jihyo sat up nervously on her bed. Yet there was an air of defiance around her. Her eyes reflected that.
              " You altered the Wangs' report, didn't you?"Jimin hissed as he walked closer to her. She only sat up straighter.
              That was all he needed. He grabbed her by the throat and slammed her against the wall. Her back hit it with a crack. She gasped in pain as the fingers around her neck started to tighten.
            " Let . . .let go, Jimin . ." She choked out,her hands clawing desperately at the hands threatening to stage her to death. Already, her vision was starring to darken at the corners.
               His gaze only darkened as he ignored her plea. It wasn't exactly her altering the report that triggered his anger. Rather, it was that she betrayed him by lying to him.
              Betrayal was not something Jimin took to kindly. And from his own sister . . .it both broke and hardened him. His anger was steaming out of him, venting out of him in choking his own sister.
            It blinded him to the point he didn't care what he did anymore.
              "Why did you lie to me? Why? WHY?"
            Jihyo looked at her brother with strangely calm eyes. She felt no fear or panic. Her hands lifted up from the ones around her throat to rest on Jimin's face.
            " Because someone has to save you from your inner monsters," she whispered, before her body gave out at the lack of oxygen. She collapsed,her limp body falling into his arms,just as rational thought came back to him.
            Only now did he realize the gravity of what he'd done. He collapsed just as Jihyo did, her body still and barely moving in his arms.
             " SEOKJIN! YOONGI! Someone just call the doctor!" He roared as he tried to feel for a pulse. There was one - but just the barest flutter.
                 Kim Seokjin and Min Yoongi burst in minutes later with the cartel's best doctor, Minatozaki Sana. The doctor had all the equipment needed pushed by the two men. She noiselessly took the body and connected it to the life support equipment.
               Jimin remained kneeling down on the floor, his hands on the concrete flooring. His breathing was ragged.
               Jihyo. Jihyo. My sweet sister who only cared for me with all her heart.
            All she did to me was love me limitlessly.
            And I repaid her by possibly  taking away her life.

           Taehyung was  confronted by Jungkook on the plane back.
           "What is about this . . . Jimin being related to me?" He said in a flat voice as he looked out of the cabin window. The gradually growing sunlight illuminated his face.
                  Taehyung tensed.  "You heard me talking to your grandmother, didn't you,Jungkook? How much did you hear?"
                 " Everything." Jungkook looked at Taehyung. His eyes were glistening.  " That's why you kidnapped me,isn't it? You told me that it was because I the Queen  your King. But you lied. You only kidnapped me because apparently I'm related to this Jimin. "
                "I never said that, and it never will be for that reason, queen." Taehyung reached out for Jungkook,  but the younger male flinched away violently. He edged as far away as possible. Taehyung realized that the reason why Jungkook's eyes were glistening were because of the tears that had pooled there.
             "Don't lie to me, Taehyung. If I was just someone else on the street you wouldn't have given me a second glance, wouldn't you?"
                 There was no reply. Jungkook scoffed. " I was right. That's all you care about from me."
