I See You (kth)

Chapter 10

Jae Rin's pov

"He thinks I was the one who killed our mother"

I turned towards him, completely shocked by what he just said. "Your mother was murdered?" I asked, my eyes wide. "It happened when I was about to enter my high school. I still remember that day so vividly as if it happened just yesterday."

He started "I was a very troublesome kid back then. The teachers used to council me a lot, advising me to study. I used to get into fights real often. One day I got in bad terms with the kid of some mafia group's leader. He used to bully my friend a lot. He and his friends beat up my friend so much that he ended up in the hospital. The teachers took no action against him. They were scared I guess. Well, I had no idea he was connected to the mafia back then, so I beat him up and knocked out all of his friends. He warned me 'You will regret this Taehyung'. I should have listened to him. I should have begged on my knees asking for forgiveness" he said, now tears brimming his eyes.

"What happened?" I asked as he went quiet. "My house, was bombed. My father was having some meeting in his office. Me and hyung (older brother) were outside at that time. But mom.... she had a day off that day and she stayed at home." he said, tears streaming down his cheek. He sniffed "The police closed the case saying that there was a gas leakage and that was the reason for the tragedy. But I know... I know that it was his doing. I told everything to my hyung, not being able to bear the guilt. He despised me. He left us without saying anything."

"After some days, I came to know that he had been adopted by a mafia leader. And is now the leader of the mafia group. The men who just tried to kidnap me, must be from his group" he said. "It is my fault that mom died. Sometimes I wish hyung kills me. But no, he won't. He just makes my guilt boil and eat me from the inside." he said, taking a deep breath to calm himself.

"But why? Why does he strike now of all times?" I asked, confused.

"This friday is the day my mother died, Jae Rin-ah"

_______________________________

We sat in silence throughout the ride to our college. It was awkward after everything he told me yesterday. I wanted to comfort him, saying that it was not his fault that his mom died. But I know that it would be in vain. The thing what disturbs me the most is the information he said as we headed to our rooms yesterday.

"Ah Jae Rin, my hyung will be visiting me this friday. Don't worry he won't hurt me that day. My mom always wished to see me and my brother together. So we did this every year on her death day. He will just visit me like old times, eat a meal and head back when the day ends" he had said.

It gave a very unpleasant sensation in my gut. I felt like this Yoongi guy is bad news. I felt like something bad is gonna happen.

The car stopped suddenly, and I heard Taehyung clear his throat, "We are here." I hopped outside and entered our college campus.

Classes went as usual. Taehyung seemed in a daze all day and didn't even spare a glance when I talked to him.

We reached home at the end of the day and again, he headed to his room, giving me a faint smile. Dinner came and we ate in silence yet again. Everytime I tried to have a small talk with him, he seemed to avoid it as if on reflex, ending the talk immediately after it started. He headed back to his room after eating a small amount of his meal.

That's it. I'm not taking this shit.

Pissed, I marched to his room and forced it open. It was too dark for me to see. I squinted my eyes to see a small figure sitting down at a corner of the room. "Tae-Taehyung?" I called, all the anger washing out of me, after seeing him so broken. I walked slowly towards him. He was hugging his knees, his shoulders moving with his every soft sobs.

I crouched near him and patted his head. "It's ok Taehyung. Let it all out" I said and sat near him. As if on cue he bursted out in tears, hugging his form. "I..... I killed my m-mother Jae Rin-ah" he said between his sobs. I had no idea what to say to him, so I remained silent, hugging him from the side. He rested his head on my shoulder and continued crying. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have messed with that boy. He should have knocked me out. He should have killed me. My mother could have been alive.... she could have been here, taking care of Yoongi hyung" he said, shaking uncontrolably as tears streamed down his face.

I had no idea how many hours passed as we sat there. His sobs died down as the time passed. He broke from my hug gently and sat straight.

"Sorry" he said with a croaked voice. I tilted my head, confused. "Sorry for troubling you" he said smiling. He seemed very exhausted with the dried tears lining his face. "It's ok" I smiled and started to head out to my room.

"Ah and Jae Rin" he started "Can you stay with me tomorrow? Tomorrow Yoongi hyung is gonna come here at 11 in the morning. You can stay by my side, invisible of course". I nodded, giving him a soft smile.

I reached my room and closed the door. Changing my drenched clothes to pyjamas, I plopped myself in my bed and sighed. I really don't wanna meet Yoongi, especially after knowing that he is the leader of the mafia. But I must protect Taehyung. He didn't look like the Taehyung with whom I was familiar with, he seems to be broken now. I sighed, closing my eyes.

Why do I feel like tomorrow is gonna be a long day?
