VENGEANCE

20. I am going crazy

The journey back home was silent for the guys. They simply sat and stared outside as they thought about what they just saw. Their thoughts were jumbled, but this was how it went.

'Blue mansion....biggest mansion......heir to soo much fortune......no, no, it is already his.....what happened? Why did he run away?.........Yoongi and Namjoon were best friends?.....How is that possible?........Wasn't Yoongi abusing and bullying Namjoon?......Was that why Namjoon defended him?......Because they were best friends?.............Then why was Yoongi behaving like that?......Did he go mad?........Obviously they were very close to each other.....what went wrong with them?........Ommo, Namjoon wanted to resign the day he came back and saw Yoongi in our cafe, right?'

"Yeah, that's what. I realized just now" Taehyung suddenly said. "Huh?" Hoseok looked confused. "You were thinking out loud" Jungkook explained. "Ohh. Right. Now what?" Hoseok asked. 

"Now what? We just go home and demand for an explanation. We have spent almost five and a half years with him and we deserve that explanation. He lied to us about his background. He didn't tell us that he and Yoongi knew each other before itself. 

Not only the resigning, but you remember? He used to get drunk every evening and we were confused because of that, right? Maybe that is somehow connected to this too" Jin said. He was determined to get the truth out of Namjoon that night. 

"But something is really fishy, hyung! Should we just show that picture and ask around?" Jimin asked. "No! Let's ask him. He owes us that much" Jin said. "Okay" Taehyung said. 

"But still! Ahh, I can't understand a single thing! Why did he leave all of that fortune behind? And live like a commoner? And hide the truth from us? Did he think we would rob him if he told us he was rich? Arrrrggghhhhhh, he is rich!!!! 

Why is he working in a cafe? Why did he beg on his knees for his best friend when his best friend was abusing him? HOW IS YOONGI HYUNG HIS BEST FRIEND?? WHY IS HE LIKE THAT TOWARDS HIS BEST FRIEND?? AAARRRGGHHH, NOTHING MAKES SENSE" Jungkook was literally on the verge of pulling his hair out. 

"Cool, cool. We'll settle everything once we go back. Let's chill, now! But why did he cry today afternoon? Didn't he say he was overwhelmed by the horrible memories that he kept buried all this time? What did he mean by that? Aigoooo, this is killing me! I am going crazy!" Hoseok said. 

"Didn't you just say we gotta chill?" Jin asked. "Right. Chill. Pheww. Chill" Hoseok chanted. "Arrrggggghhhh, I am going crazy!" Jimin yelled, pulling his hair. Everyone sighed and went back to staring out of the window. 

They scrambled to get out of the cab the moment it stopped in front of the house. Jin literally threw the money on the driver's lap. 

"Keep the change" he yelled as he scrambled out. They ran inside the house yelling for Namjoon. Taehyung's mother came running out of the kitchen. "He went somewhere. Why? What's wrong?" she asked. 

"He went somewhere? Where?" Taehyung demanded. "Chill! He said he might spend the night there. He said it was a known person" she said. "SPEND THE NIGHT?? WHAT THE HELL? HE SAID HIS PARENTS WERE DEAD!!" Jungkook yelled. 

"Shh, chill. Did something happen?" she asked. "What's going on?" Taehyung's dad came out of his room. "Why are you yelling, Kookie?" he asked. 

Jin fished his phone out. "Did you know that Namjoon is the eldest son of the people that used to live in the blue mansion? The biggest one here. The richest one. Did you know?" Hoseok asked. 

"Who, Namjoon? Ommo! You mean your friend who is staying here? He is Kim Sihyuk's eldest son? Oh my god, I can't believe this!" Mrs. Kim said, fanning herself. Taehyung's dad was quite surprised too. 

"I heard that he ran away after his friend got arrested" Taehyung's dad said. "Really? You know abo-" Jimin said, but froze suddenly. "Wait! Did you say arrested?" Taehyung asked. 

"Yeah. His best friend spent five years in jail for murdering his girlfriend. It became quite an issue here. Namjoon ran away after his friend got arrested" Taehyung's father explained. 

"Why didn't you tell me about it?" Taehyung asked. "You weren't living here! I thought it wasn't important!" his mother said.

Jimin literally started pulling his hair out as he started groaning loudly. "Why is everything soo messed up? AAAARRRGGGHHHH, WHAT'S HAPPENING? YOONGI HYUNG SPENT FIVE YEARS IN JAIL?? DOES THAT MEAN HE CAME TO SEOUL RIGHT AFTER HE CAME OUT OF JAIL?" he asked. 

The others stood frozen while Taehyung's mother gasped. "Yoongi 'hyung'??" she asked. "Yeah. He works in our cafe! Oh, god! I can't believe this! What the hell?" Hoseok exclaimed. 

"Wait! You are telling me that Kim Sihyuk's eldest son and his best friend, who went to jail after murdering his girlfriend, are together again? What the hell is going on? Why is he even associating himself with murderers?" Taehyung's father asked. 

"That's not all. Yoongi was abusing him all this while. We came to know about the abuse recently. And Namjoon was defending him. Now it is even more confusing" Jin said. 

"God! How can someone kill their best friend's girlfriend?" Jungkook said as he squatted down and placed his head between his knees. 

"Wait, wait, wait. Yoongi did not kill Namjoon's girlfriend. He killed his own girlfriend in front of a bar. The moment Namjoon heard about it, he signed all of the business and property to his younger brother and ran away. Maybe he was ashamed to face the people because of his friend. Poor him" Taehyung's dad explained. 

"HE HAS A BROTHER??" Hoseok asked. "You didn't know? Oh my god, you literally don't know anything about him other than his name and hometown, do you?" Taehyung's mother asked. "Wait! So does that mean he went to his home tonight?" Jimin asked. 

"Maybe. Let him be" Jin said. "Arrrrgggggghhhhhhhh, I am going crazy! What's going onnn????" Jungkook suddenly yelled. "Shh, chill. Let's just sleep. We'll deal with it tomorrow. Let's cancel Apsan Park" Hoseok said. 

"I'll sleep here tonight" Jungkook said. "Yeah, me too" Jimin said. "Okaiie, cuddle time! Let's go" Taehyung yelled and ran to his room. They stayed up the whole night, trying to digest truth after truth as they tossed and turned around.
