Once in a Lifetime

Part 35

NEXT DAY

"These two is all that's left right?" Jungkook asked while pointing at the boxes that were on the floor.
"There's one more left, but it's small so I'll bring it with me. You can take those two and wait for me in the car after you load them, I just need a few minutes to say goodbye to this place."
"As you wish." he said as he picked up the boxes and left the apartment.
"So that's it huh?" I sighed as I was looking around my apartment that was now completely empty.
I walked over to the the tea table to take the small box that was left but stopped my movements upon seeing Yoongi's case file lying inside.
With all the recent events that occurred, I realised that I still haven't opened it so I took it out from the box and sat myself on the sofa.
Taking a deep breath, I opened the file which revealed a few papers with formal writing regarding the case but as I saw an envelope with pictures of the gathered evidences, I felt my body tense up, cold shivers rushing down my spine, giving me goosebumps.
"Black Wolf pin? It's the same as the ones... as the ones Sunghoo and Chiwon had." I gasped.

"Those filthy scumbags? I told my people to get rid of them for me, bastards thought it was a good idea to steal from me so I had to teach them a lesson."

My body flinched as those words echoed inside my head, my hands becoming more and more shaky as I browsed through the rest of the pictures.
"T-The place w-where they found Yoongi's b-body..."

"Yeah. The only offense he did was driving way over speed limit. But that was 12 years ago."

"That was only a few minutes away from Yoongi's location." I gulped.
At that moment I felt like my heart would tore my chest apart because of how fast it was beating.
My eyes filled with tears and my entire body went completely numb upon seeing the last picture I was holding in my hands, the last messages Yoongi sent to an unknown number.

"He's coming for me... Taehyung is going to kill me."

"T-Taehyung?" I mumbled with a shaky breath when I suddenly heard my phone ringing.

"What's taking you so long? Don't tell me you're saying goodbye to every piece of the furniture?" Jungkook chuckled.
"S-Sorry! I-I'll come r-right away!" I said and hung up.

I quickly put everything back in the box but as I tried to take it in my hands it almost fell down on the floor because of how much my hands were shaking.
"Are you okay?" Jungkook asked as I got inside the car.
"Y/N?" he called my name as he looked at me who was just sitting there in silence without blinking once.
"Y/N?" he called my name again as he gently shook my hand, making me snap out of my thoughts.
"Y-Yeah I'm perfectly fine hah! I'm sorry you had to wait so long!" I finally spoke.
"It's okay, I thought something happened but thank gosh it didn't. Shall we head home now?"
"Y-Yeah!" I said nodding.
"Taehyung called and told me he's coming tonight. I'll go out so you can have house to yourselves since it's been quite a few days since you last saw each other." Jungkook said as we entered the house.
"Okay! Thanks!" I said and stormed upstairs to the bedroom.
"This can't be real..." I mumbled to myself as I fell to my knees with heavy tears streaming down my cheeks.
"This isn't real!" I screamed while covering my face with my hands so Jungkook doesn't hear anything.
"Why?! Just why?!" I kept repeating as I continued crying until my eyes ran out of tears.

LATER THAT EVENING

I was sitting on the couch for hours now, nervously awaiting for Taehyung to come.
After some more time had passed, I heard the familiar sound of the house door unlocking, making my body flinch because it was no one other than Taehyung.
My knees felt weak but I managed to get up from the couch so I walked to the hall to meet him.
And there I saw him entering the house, the man who was just yesterday everything I held dear in my life, the one thing left for me I could hold on to.
"Y/N!" he said smiling brightly and ran over to me, hugging me tightly.
"These few days felt like ages! I'm so happy to be back here with you!" he added while caressing my back, but those hands that were once gentle and like feather, now felt like a sharp razor that's tearing my skin.
"What's the matter babygirl?" he asked in a worried tone because he noticed my body was shaking and I was being more silent than ever.
"Can you show me how to hold a gun?" I finally managed to speak yet I still haven't gathered the strength to look him in the eyes.
"What for? Are you gonna shoot me? I thought they taught you that at the academy..." he chuckled but I remained silent.
"Seriously Y/N is everything okay? Why are you avoiding my eyes?" he asked.
"I want you to show me... because I want to see how you looked like when you were pointing your gun at my brother." I said as I looked up at him with teary eyes.
"Y-Y/N-" he mumbled as he tried to cup my cheek.
"GET AWAY FROM ME MURDERER!" I screamed as I pushed him away from me.
"WHY?! WHY DID YOU KILL HIM?! WHY!!!" I continued to scream as tears were streaming down my cheeks.
"Your brother should've known what he's getting himself into..." Taehyung sighed as he brushed his lower lip with his thumb.
"TELL ME WHY DID YOU KILL HIM YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!"
"BECAUSE HE WAS STEALING MONEY FROM ME!!" he yelled making my body flinch.
I've never seen him like this... brows furrowed in anger, his neck veins completely visible and his body all tensed up.
"W-What?" I said with shaky lips.
"You have to understand Y/N", he sighed, "There's no place for mistakes. That's not how it works in my world." he said.
"I never thought you were so shallow..." I chuckled after a few seconds of silence.
"What?" Taehyung's asked with a confused face expression.
"Money... a worthless piece of paper is enough for you to take someone's life? Pathetic." I said as I walked past him and headed to the door.
"Where do you think you're going?" he asked in a low voice as he grabbed my wrist.
"Why? Are you going to kill me too now that I've found out all your secrets? Don't be more miserable than you already are Kim Taehyung." I chuckled and removed his hand from my wrist.
"I still love you Y/N." he spoke as I opened the door.
"Why are you saying that now?"
"I just wanted you to know."
"Too bad your love for me couldn't stop you from killing my brother." I said with tears already running down my cheeks and left.
My knees felt weak, eyes blurry from the amount of tears I cried out.
I got inside my car but there was no strength in me to start it. I leaned my head on the wheel as tears began to stream down my cheeks again.
My chest were getting tighter, allowing very little air for me to breathe in as I felt my heart being shattered to the smallest pieces.
This was it... the 3rd biggest pain in my life... it was this day.
"Has life always been this cruel to everyone?" I asked myself as the feeling of sadness was now being replaced with the feelings of anger and rage.
"I have to do it... I have to do it for you brother." I said as I started the car and drove off.
There were very little days, situations and occasions when I let my emotions overtake me... but today was different.
"Son of a bitch." I cursed under my breath as I started driving way over speed limit.
"Why did it have to be you? Why you out of all people?!" I screamed, the car reaching its maximum speed.
But suddenly, everything disappeared in front of my eyes.
The sound of the loud crash was the last thing I heard before loosing my consciousness.
Was this the end?
