I swallowed hard, shaking my head as I rounded the corner to walk down the dimly lit street. A chill ran down my spine and I got a gut feeling that I should turn around and head back home. But, this was my last option, no one else was willing to hire me. I mean, the owner of this place had never returned my messages, so coming in person was the only logical thing I could think of.
I could see the blood red sign glowing and lighting up the street with it's terrifying looking color. I clutched my phone tightly in my hands as I approached the door. I peered inside the building. It looked closed, but I could see a sign of light coming from deeper inside the shop. I stepped back, reaching out and grabbing the door. I pulled on it, surprised that it opened. I stepped inside the dark building, glancing around at the designs on the walls. My fingers twitched with the urge to hold the equipment that was surrounding nearby work spaces.
I was pulled from my thought when I heard what sounded like a muffled scream and went towards the noise. As I grew closer, I saw light coming from behind a cracked door. I stopped just outside of it, feeling my heart pounding in my ears as I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath. "Come on, Kiara. You got this."
With that, I pushed open the door, my eyes closing shut as they adjusted to the light. However, when I did finally open my eyes, I saw a horrific scene before my eyes.
A man, tied to a wooden chair with a gag in his mouth. Blood was dripping down his cheeks and covered his entire body. With the amount of blood on him, I couldn't even see his face. Behind him, stood a man covered head to toe in tattoos, a bloody knife in his right hand. He stared at me, and for some reason I couldn't move. I knew I had to leave, but my body refused to move as my heart pounded in my ears.
"You wandered into the wrong tattoo shop, princess,"
He remembered the way Jimin laughed-mocking, cold.
And still... the pain didn't feel like regret.
Yoongi exhaled.
"Sometimes... the ones who scream the loudest are the ones who were never heard at all."
The medics exchanged a glance.
"He could kill you," the younger one said again. "Why would you go back?"
Yoongi finally looked at him.
"Because if I don't," he said softly, "no one will."
And the room fell silent.
Only the sound of Yoongi's shaky breath and bandage being wrapped around his head, slowly soaking through with red.
Yoongi stood up from the chair slowly, the bandage tight around his head, the sting still pulsing behind his temple. But his eyes-those hadn't dimmed.
They were sharper now. Clearer.

I held her hand...
and I didn't know what to say.
Because how do you look into your sister's eyes,
when they've seen hell and still lived?
Her soul was torn, not her clothes.
And they told her to stay silent.
They asked her what she was wearing.
But no one asked her if she wanted to live anymore.
I watched her rot from the inside.
I heard her scream at 2 a.m.
I saw her try to end it... more than once.
And the men who did it?
They laughed.
They walked free.
They posted selfies.
That night, something inside me died.
Not just as a brother-
but as a human being.
So don't call me a monster for what I did.
Because monsters did something to her.
I only killed them.
And honestly?
I wish I could kill them again.
