Past

They were talking about Seo Han's family, who had taken shelter in Daegu. The intention was evident by their chat, that they would kill Seo Han's family by tomorrow to end even the spark of the fire.

But little did they know they were being heard.

When Shaw told Jeon the address, Jungkook memorised it right at the moment. Jungkook was there, intruding to every sinful words that escaped out from their mouths.

If Seo Han's wife, and his son were the only ones left by Harai's family, then Jungkook promised to save them by risking his life.

Jungkook left there, and then with the 17 years old Jong suk to save the last bloodline of his mothers's family.

Since Jeon wasn't mostly at the mansion, it was easy for Jungkook to elude as Jeon never checked upon the activities of his son.

It was mid dawn when they reached the destination as at this time, no light struggled to break free from the dungeon of fading black.

After Seo Han, Aria had trouble raising her 9 years old child alone, and since her marriage was against the decisions of her parents, she also couldn't go to her guardians.

Aria was sleeping, and so was her son, but hearing the sound of instinctive footsteps, Aria's eyes shot open, only to meet 2 hooded silhouettes creeping in the room.....near her son.

"Wh...who are you?" with her trembling body cripple, Aria whispered meticulously, staring at the two peril; fear had slithered its nausea into Aria, cackling inside her in its haunting jeer.

The very next moment, Jong suk had his hands on the the sleeping boy, pouring gasoline onto the shred of fear clouting inside Aria as she went cold and clammy; her eyes widened, breaths ragged and harsh.

Her hands shivered at her sides, and she jammed her fist into her mouth to stifle the rambunctious scream, threatening to force out.

"Your lives are in danger," as if reading Aria's acrid mind, Jungkook uttered; his blunt tone sinking deep intravenously in Aria.

"If you want to save him, then come with me," Jungkook gestured a hand at the sleeping boy, held firmly in the embrace of Jong suk.

"Wh...why should I trust y....you?" Aria's convulsing snivel lunged at Jungkook, but before he could answer, they heard the soft susurration of a tread, like a intimidating whisper. Some one entered the house by jumping from the lawn outside.

Jong suk, who was near a window removed a little bit of curtain, only to curse:

"Damn it! They're here!"

"Wh...who?" it was palpable that the whimper was incapacitated with fear, a weep ubiquitous, vanquished in the cocoon of dread.

"Is there any secret passage out of here?" Jungkook's worried voice encapsulated Aria's inside as she panted:

"K.....kitchen....a passage..b...behind the kitchen,"

In no time, they hurried towards the kitchen when they heard the main door of the house creak.

Jong suk was the first one to make the move as he was holding the napping boy, following Aria, whose breaths quickened as her heart throbbed loudly against her chest. Lastly, Jungkook shielded after Aria, taking out his gun to aim.

As they made way to their escapade, hearing the back door being slammed broken, they quickened their pace in this clandestine, ratty labyrinth of dark....they started running.
