Faces.
Hundreds of them.
Man and woman alike.
Almost equal in number.
They had gauged out eyes and shaved heads. Barbaric.
"You could have said no, Kang Taehyun!"
"Why did you kill my father? Was he a bad person?"
"You have no mercy."
"Why?!!"
The voices screeched at him. They swooped past him, bellowing loud and eery.
The last face he saw was of Bo Doyoung.
"Please..."
He said.
His face shifted. His eyes lost their color and was replaced by white orbs. His skin turned pink, dripping with thick blood. His fingernails grew in size.
He lunged at him.
Taehyun woke up, sweating.
This was the third time this week that he had those dreams. No, nightmares.
Rather, memories of a boy who learned to obey, to survive.
He checked his phone and saw the time was 6:30.
Great. There goes my sleep.
He laid back, and reached out for his headphones.
The music flowed into his ears.
I've never had both feet upon the ground
I'd rather be a bird
I don't fit into this skin
I'd like to see the world turned upside down
If ever it were beautiful
It's lovelier from above, from above
Yes. Sometimes Taehyun wishes he were a bird. Just to let go of all this and sore high. Away from his worries and nightmares.
But no.
Apparently it's not that easy.

To get into Chief Kim's good book became a sort of life goal for Seul-Rin.
Appreciation. Attention. Admiration. Affection. All that jazz.
And Jungkook was very much aware of Seul-Rin's shenanigans to please the Chief, but he knew the man would not budge.
Hell, he was actually hugged by the hot actress Kim Jisoo for finding her lost necklace in less than 24 hours, but no. Kim Seokjin didn't even move his arms. Rude, was all Jungkook could work out in his mind.
Weirdly, Jungkook actually imagined Chief Kim despite his military-like demeanor, to be a submissive in bed, but yeah, let's not go to that.
Jungkook nearly sympathized Seul-Rin for all the stuff she is going through, because Chief Kim is NOT going to budge.
All the time she worked, Seul-Rin was not able to get anything to fill in Kang Taehyun's empty file.
I am starting to think Chief Kim got delusional about this guy, thought Seul-Rin.
"He deals in diamonds. Precious jewels, that sorts.", said Jungkook placing the coffee on Seul-Rin's desk.
