Obsession
KIM TAEHYUNG

<No one pov>

"Just a little bit more and we're done... hopefully"

Y/n says as she looks around while   sweeping the floor.

She wipes the sweat that fall onto her forehead with the back of his hand.

"Ahhh this is so tiring..."

She threw away the broom and plopped her small figure on the couch.

She looks up to the family portrait that hung on the wall.

Pursing her lips while you're observing the photo.

It's a photo of a family. It's an old photo yet a happy one. It consists of a parent and two sons.

Working as a maid in this big and beautiful mansion really brings the curiosity out of her.

Slowly she got up from her seat and walk to it. Looking at the photos.

"They are beautiful aren't they?"

She almost fell on her knees because of that sudden approach.

She clears her throat and nodded. Switching gaze between the picture and the house owner.

"Indeed it is..." she looks at him "is that you in that picture?"

She asked the middle aged man. He nodded slowly. Smiling a little.

"Yes that's me" her lips draw an O shaped.

"Those two beautiful boys are your son?" he nodded but with a sad smile.

She frowned as she saw the changes of her employer face.

"Is everything okay?" She looks at him in concern.

He shook his head and smiled at her.

"Yeah... everything is fine. Don't worry" he says kinda dozed away.

"Are you sure Mr. Kim? You can tell me if you want to. I'm all ears"

Y/n sit down and make herself comfortable on the floor, looking at him with her sparkly eyes.

"I will but in one condition" he purses his lips and look at her.

"Yeah sure. What is it?" She looks at him with her deep set eyes. He smiled softly.

"come my child. Please, sit on the couch with me. Don't sit on the hard floor"

"No it's okay Mr. Kim... I'm-" "please y/n"  he insists.

She looks at his old wrinkled eyes for a moment before she finally took a seat a few meters away from him.

"Those are my son. Kim Taemin and Kim Taehyung. They are just 2 years apart"

"Taemin is a very bubbly, goofy and funny boy. While Taehyung..."

He looks away from her sights. Letting out a real deep sigh. He looks up to the picture.

"Taehyung is an introvert... he is always alone and a really secretive person..."

"he always living in his own world but even though he is like that..."

"He is so close to Taemin and he only opened up with Taemin... his only brother"

She looks at the photo for a quick moment and look back at her employer.

"Seems like the picture is quite old. Maybe 20 years ago?" The old man's eyes met hers. He faintly nodded.

"Where are they?" She ask him letting out her curiosity.

His lips slowly started to shake. His eyes become saddens. He looked down at his fingers.

He rubbed his upper left hand slowly. Hesitate about sharing his horrible family life.

"Mr. Kim... it's okay if you are not comfortable to tell me. I totally understand-"

"Taemin..." she went silent after hearing him started talking.

"Taemin my dear son, he was killed by a group of boy that was called 'the purge' when he was only 18..."

Her eyes widened listening to his story. Yes she has heard that evil group name before.

They are so famous for being selling drugs, prostituting, killing, grambling and the list goes on.

But... the interesting part is that the government never took any action against them.

What a cruel world.

She never thought that Mr. Kim's son is one of the victims from that evil group.

"Why?" She ask him slowly. "Why do they kill your son?" She looks at him with so much sympathy.

"Because I owned a big company and they want to my business partner to sell their goods but I rejected them"

"They became furious cuz no one ever denied them."

He looks back and her and she can see how his eyes were watery.

"So the-they killed your..." he nodded slowly.

"they are so clever. They make it like he was overdosed by drugs"

"I know my son. He would never do that. He never did anything wrong. He is a decent kid" he pursing his lips trying to hold his tears.

She holds his hand and told him that everything will be okay.

"I think that is enough for today" he says as he tapped her hand gently.

"Thank you for listening to me y/n" he smile at her sincerely. She just nodded and smiled back at him.

"how old are you again?" "I'm 22 years old," she replied him.

"That is such a young age. Please take care of yourself"

"Promise me you will not get involved with those stupid things"

"I will Mr. Kim" she says slowly. Looking deep in his eyes. He nodded again.

"But Mr. Kim..." he hummed in reply "where's your other son? Taehyung?"

Once he heard y/n called out that name, his facial expression changed.

The look that he gave her right now is definitely a scary one.

"That ungrateful kid. Don't say his name ever again"

He says in a stern voice. She looks down, feeling guilty for not knowing he would be furious.

"I'm sorry Mr. Kim" she says as she looks down on her lap.

"No... omg. I'm so sorry, my child. It is not your fault" he ruffled her hair slowly.

"You can go home now. You 2 hours job has done and it's already 6PM" He gives y/n her pay for that day.

He bid his goodbye at y/n and walk towards the stairs to his room.

<your pov>

You watch him as he went upstairs to his room. You have so much in your mind.

What happened to him? What happened to his family?

You quickly shook your head not letting yourself to mind other people's life.

You cleaned up everything and quickly get your stuff and get ready to go to your second job at the convenience store near your house.

But... you stop your track at the front door. You turned your head back at the picture.

You become curious once again.....

Why is he so mad when I called 'his' name?

Where is he?

Where is Taehyung?
