The Moon Knows It All !!!

Chapter 6

5 years ago...

"You are such a bitch, why do you have to be over my head all the time?" My brother was screaming at the top of his lungs.

"Get back in here, or I swear to god, I will take away your pocket money right now", I screamed from my room at him. He did not listen to me and stormed off.

I gasped, huffed, and sat back on my bed. My head in my hands bent over while a bloody tear trickles down my cheek. Why will he not listen to me? Since we came to this city, after leaving my father, it was nice for a few years. He had completed his schooling and I offered him to enroll in college to pursue his studies and become a lawyer. He always wanted to be one. He wanted to save people who were wrongfully convicted. He wanted to bring the actual criminals to justice.

I waited till midnight but he never came back. I was now starting to worry. He often took off like this after each fight but he returned after a few hours. I took my torch, phone, and left the house. I called his friends some had no idea while some did not answer. There was just the last number left on my phone that belonged to one of his friends but I did not want to ever call him. Reason? He was the bad crowd and I was scared, this guy will get my brother in more trouble. I bit my lip and dialed the number.

"Noona, for what do I owe the pleasure to this call?" I heard his husky voice. I could hear the filthy smirk and I growled.

"Taehyung, Kyungsoo hasn't come home for many hours now. Is he with you?"

"He was with me this evening than he got a call and left. He wanted to stay away from you, why do not leave him alone."

"I can't do that you know, and tell me where he went? I will get him myself." I snarled at him.

"Oh please Noona, you always keep taunting him. He is a grown man, will you stop babying him for god's sake. You took away his pocket money, let the boy earn on his own."

That's it, I knew it; he will get him into trouble. Now I can't even go to the police because I know my brother must be somewhere in deep shit. "Fuck", I screamed and started running in a direction.

"Kyungsoo, Kyungsoo..." I was screaming his name while running around to see if he is nearby any chance. He wasn't.

2 days passed but he did not return. I finally decided to call the police I will get him out on bail if need be. I can't leave it be. The police called me 24 hours later, asking me to come. I went to the police station when one of the lady police asked to join her in the next room.

"It's... It's a morgue. Why are you taking me here?" I asked. "Miss, we found a few dead bodies at different places around the town. You can look at the faces and try if one of them is your brother." She explained. "No, no my brother isn't dead. He is missing." I plead. "Sure mam, just for the protocol please check." She ushered me inside the room. It's cold. Like death had a mesmerizing dance with its reapers in this cold room. I started shivering. I don't know if I was shivering out of the coldness or out of fear of being so close to death. I did not even feel this scared when they told me about my mother.

I was mumbling, "Please come back to me, I promise I will let you do whatever the fuck you want. I will never take away your money. Hell, I'll increase your pocket money. Just don't be here, please." I felt freezing drops of tears on my cheek. My fingers were already numb and I felt more numbness in my heart. My feet were not moving no matter how hard I tried to drag them.

"Body No. 1, Found in the back alley of a bar, stab wound in the stomach. Lacerations on face, hands, and legs."

"Body no. 2, found in the outskirts of a junkyard, face squashed with a heavy roller, Chain in the neck that says, SK." The attendant kept announcing and pulling away from the white sheets away from their faces for me to see.

I just couldn't bear it but there were 4 more bodies to go.

"Body no. 3, found in the lake, blue lips, probably due to poison in the stomach." The face of this guy was swollen like a pufferfish. I felt like puking. It was awful to look at. There was no smell though, I think because of their forensic mumbo-jumbo.

"Body no. 4, burnt alive, probably a female but we do not have our final reports yet."

"Body no.5, please hold your stomach. The body was found in a dumpster face skinned and eyes were popped off. This guy died a hateful death." I puked right beside the stroller after looking at the face. It was disgusting and scary. Imagine a death skull with some muscles on and blood frozen overturning the muscles light pinkish-blue.

"I can't take it anymore".

"It's the last one miss, Body no. 6", I gasped as he peeled off the sheets away from the face.

I kept my palms over my mouth to avoid screaming.

"Body no.6, found near the rail-tracks. He has a stab wound in his lower abdomen. Jaw broken and skull fractured. Left hand and Left leg amputated, probably because of a train running over him after his death."

I can still feel tears but death sat in my heart. I did not utter a single word and left. I walked out of the police station and went home. This can't be.
