EIGHTEEN: Emotions

"Dr. Byun's conjecture makes sense, Jungkook. And I think she has a connection from your past"

Jungkook's fumbled with the brown envelope that Taehyung handed to him, a picture of a familiar little girl in his hands. "What do you mean?" He asked, gazed lingering on his friend before it drops to examine the other informations.

"Lee Y/N. She was mute like we thought all this time but something happened in the past that caused her to be like this." The older graze to the younger, a little desperate to see any emotion other than confusion, "Did... you really not remember her?" Taehyung continued.

Jungkook shook his head a no as an answer, "She is familiar but I don't really remember her."

Taehyung nodded his head before plopping himself down beside Jungkook on the bed. "She has a happy family until the age of 6. Her biological father died, causing her mom to have a number of relationships then and there yet her mother didn't get to go to the 'remarry-stage'." He said, pulling one of the pictures in the envelope. A photo of a three-membered family smiling cheerily at the camera. The couple absolutely loved each other while a sweet-looking child was comfortably sitting on the Father's shoulder. "At the age of 8, her mom brought home a man, saying he will be her father and will live with them from now on. Y/N welcomed the man with open arms, at last, she has a father after all those years. They became happy for years but things always change. The man was always addicted to alcohol and drugs, it's just a matter of time when Y/N's mother got influenced by that addiction."

"Get to the point, Tae" Jungkook said with the tone of fining ignorance. "You know that I'm not that patient. I don't have time for her drama" He growled. Jungkook hates it when he's waiting, the worst is he's actually curious about that woman. He hates it.

Taehyung snickered, "Remember, high school? You change school when you're 18 and that's when I met you but before that, you met Y/N first. You two became friends..." The older said as he rummages through the files to give Jungkook a picture of a young girl and a young version of himself. The girl, Y/N was smiling timidly while young Jungkook was grinning widely, a peace sign in his right hand. They look cute in a picture that Jungkook didn't even know existed.

"So, you're saying that woman... who I want dead is my childhood best friend? Is that what you're saying? That's fucked up. Is this some kind of cliché bullshit?"

"Hey, you told me to do a background check. I just did what you told me to do" Taehyung respond with a childish pout that made Jungkook rolled his eyes.

"Anything else?" Jungkook asks

"Well, yes..."The other man said, standing up from the bed. Two hands casually snake in his pocket. The words made Jungkook looks up to the older. "You killed her stepfather. Does that ring a bell?"

"I did what?"

"Oh, come on. Don't be surprised, It's not a big deal though. You killed her stepfather who is toxic and an abuser. Good for you, you instantly become a hero."

Jungkook scoffed, "Hero my ass. I still don't remember about killing a fucktard."

"Then don't. As I said, it's not big of a deal and that bastard is not important. Now, what are your plans with her?"

"Kill her..." The younger whispered unsure but the words are still audible in Taehyung's ears. "Really, Kook? After all this information and obsessive behavior towards that woman... you just wanted to kill her?"

"Did you know that her step father tried to rape her?" Jungkook's head abruptly ship to the older as he dropped the bomb. He was most definitely frozen, sudden emotions starts to fill in his body.
