Time: 6:12 pm

Taehyung opened his eyes, feeling lightheaded. He blinked, trying to adjust himself to the darkness that welcomed him.

He moved in an attempt to stand but he couldn't, realizing that he's tied on a post, his mouth taped, preventing him from making any sound.

Taehyung was so scared, not understanding how he ended up in this situation. He remembered he was with Jin, going to the airport but in the middle of the way, he suddenly fell asleep after drinking the water Jin had offered him.

He could feel his heart thumping off his chest as he struggled to remove the ties on his wrist.

What's going on?

The sound of an incoming footsteps made him flinch as a man slowly emerged from the darkness.

He stiffened, seeing his familiar built as he went closer, stopping in front of him with an evil smile plastered on his lips.

Taehyung's eyes widened, not understanding why Jin is standing in front of him doing nothing to help.

Hyung..

"Finally you're awake." Jin uttered, ducking to level his face. He smirked, seeing the horror in his eyes.

"Hmmppph!" Taehyung struggled, working on removing the rope tied in his wrists.

"Don't fight too much. I want this to end without making you feel so much pain." Jin reached out for the tape in Taehyung's mouth, forcefully removing it.

Taehyung gasped as soon as his mouth was freed, his wary eyes darted on the older who was smiling at him.

However, it's not his usual sweet and warm smile. He's smiling at him, but it didn't reach his eyes.

"Jin-hyung... what's going on?" He asked, not wanting to entertain the possibilities in his mind.

The older scoffed. "Do you really want me to spell it out for you? Are you that dumb now?"

Taehyung gulped, seeing this familiar man in front of him change into someone he barely knows.

What happened to his sweet and caring hyung?

"Please.. hyung.. you're scaring me. Why are you doing this?" Taehyung fought the urge to tear up.

"You dare ask why?" Jin gritted his teeth.

"While you were living a life showered with all the love and affection, I had to grow up without none!" Jin accused, making Taehyung confused.

"I- what do you mean.. hyung?" Taehyung looked at his pained face.

"Yes, you should really be calling me that." Jin scorned, clenching his fist in anger.

Taehyung was so lost. He couldn't understand where his anger is coming from.

Jin smiled at him, his anger vividly plastered on his face.

"All along...I thought my own parents hated me. I've never experienced their love when I was growing up. They fed and sheltered me, but they never made me feel loved." Jin breathed hard, controlling his emotions.

"Until I learned the real reason last year." Jin uttered.

"They couldn't love me fully because I'm not their son."

Taehyung gasped, feeling the sadness behind Jin's anger.

"And you know who my real father is?" Jin towered above him, eyes showing no affection.
