V stepped out of his car to see the old restaurant. The restaurant was somewhere she used to visit a lot back in school days. It still looked the same as before.
He felt a strange feeling looking at it.
"It's alright, V! You can do this" He murmured to himself, gaining enough courage to step in the restaurant.
He looked around and his eyes fell on the familiar face he used to come here with. Jeon Jungkook.
V felt anger and hatred burning inside him as he walked up to Jungkook.
"What did you want to tell me?" he demanded, folding his arms.
Jungkook smiled, sitting down on a chair. "Sit down, I didn't give a punishment telling you to keep standing." He chuckled, indicating to the chair opposite her.
"I don't have time to waste, Jungkook! Just tell me already!" Said V, firmly, wanting to leave as soon as possible.
"Your precious friend is in danger" Sang Jungkook.
"Like I would believe you"
"Don't then" He let out
V felt anger again.
"If this is why you freaking called me, I'll leave!" He spat at his old friend and stomped out of the restaurant he once loved, while trying not to repeat the past in his head.
.................................
"Sir, sir, please! I need money! My baby's been hungry! For the sake of god please!" The woman, with baggy old clothes, face smeared with dirt, curly and dirty hair and holding a baby in her arms, begged, following V as he walked down the street.
"Please sir!"
V could no longer tolerate the begging anymore and turned around, pushing the beggar.
She fell down with her baby.
V took his purse out and then took handful of dollars and threw it at the lady's face.
"That is for pushing you!" he yelled and turned back and continued on his way.
"Idiots! " he cursed.
He pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialed a number, putting the phone at his ear.
The user picked up on the first ring.
"Yes, Robert. Tell me the update"
"Tom Conner Leaf is dead" Said the dialer on the phone.
V smirked, "Good! I need to see the dead body before you bury it. Tell me the location"
V smirked, "Good! I need to see the dead body before you bury it. Tell me the location and send me a car"
He hung up the phone after Robert told him the location.
He had been feeling eyes on himself since the moment he pushed the beggar woman with the baby, though he did not care.
After ten minutes of waiting, the car finally arrived and V sat on the backseat with one leg on the other and settled his phone beside him.
"What took you so long?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. V , but there was traffic on my way here so it took quite a lot of time." answered the driver in a shaky voice.
"hmm" V added in response.
When they reached, he waited for the driver to open the car door for him and stepped out taking his phone.
There was a house in front of him. Not luxury, but cheap. It looked more like a haunted house.
V walked inside seeing the total opposite. The house isn't as cheap from inside, infact it is VERY beautiful.
Being the type of guy V is, he would never visit a cheap or dirty place.
When he entered the living room, he saw a body lying on the floor with smoldered in blood, and two men standing beside it, wearing black outfits.
He smirked and walked up to the body and knelt down to it.
"Oh Tom, in such a bad state, I see" He said, showing fake sympathy on his face, "Does it hurt?"
Tom gritted his teeth despite the pain, while blood flowed by the dagger that had been stabbed into him.
"Aah, it does" Said V while nodding and showing fake sympathy.
"You know what" he continued, " I did not do this to you because you didn't return my money, I did this because you dared to threaten my bodyguards. Yeah, they don't mean anything to me, if they die, I'll have others, but this will lessen people's fear of me. I can't risk it." He leaned closer "Any last wish?"
"You might have, Taehyung!" He struggled to smile, putting pressure at the word "Teahyung", and wincing every once.
V's smile faded.
"SHUT UP!" He shouted, pulled out the gun from his back pocket and shot him in the head.
There was a dead silence where V felt a pain in his head.
He looked at his watch to see that it was 7:00.
"Take this body outta here and deal with it." He continued "And lock all the doors and windows as you go! Don't unlock them before one hour. Dosen't matter if I call you begging to unlock 'em , don't do it!"
They nodded and dragged the body out of the house.
V felt a pang of pain again and clutched his head.
"It's alright" he murmured
Pain.
"Ugh!!" he groaned
He ran to check on the doors, wanting to leave this place.
He fell down due to the pain.
"Aahhhh!!!" he screamed.
And he fell back into the past memories.
FLASHBACK
There was applause; everyone was clapping for Jimin's singing, while I sat there still into the surprise. His singing is so melodious. I was still in shock that I forgot to clap until Jungkook bumped me with his arm while clapping, making me fall in present.
I started clapping too, beaming out of delight.
People were passing comments like, "Beautiful singer, isn't he?", "he really is something!", "Handsome yet an amazing singer."
And I agree with them, he really is amazing.
As Jimin walked off the stage, the narot walked to the front of the stage. Narot is the one who announces the prizes won by students (he's a student too). Narots are also chose by students. Narots change on every student assembly. Today it is Dane.
"So, as we heard Jimin sing in his beautiful voice, I'd like to thank you, Jimin, to let us hear you sing." He looked up at the paper in his hand, "So, as we know, this year is bout' to end, I'll be announcing the yearly awards." He continued, "The naughtiest girl and boy of the year are Leo and Amy! Please walk up to the stage to collect your trophies" He announced.
Amy and Leo walked up to the stage, said a few words and then took their seats back.
"Next up is the most stupid girl and boy of the year! Loona and Jake! "
After they collected their trophies Dane called other awards as actor of the year, nerd of the year, dork of year and bully of the year, until Jungkook's name was called up for gamer of the year.
I felt a pang of jealousy seeing him holding the trophy in his hand.
"I'm very grateful to have finally come in the list of yearly awards." he said in the mic in front of her" Though not as grateful as I was when I first met Tae."
I felt conscious as everyone's eyes turned to me.
"Taehyung was always there in my hardest times. He helped me whenever I was in trouble. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have been able to earn this trophy" He looked at it and then back up "It's just a waste" He let go of the trophy and it fell onstage at his legs. "If it wasn't for him I would not even have existed anymore." There were whispers "Wondering why I just threw the trophy away instead of having it?" he smiled, "I have never left Tae out in anything. And this trophy" he looked at the trophy lying at his legs "I can't have it"
There were tears in my eyes. I knew that I could never meet anyone better than him.
End Of Flashback
V woke up to Robert calling out to him.
He was panting and sweating badly.
"Are you alright, Mr. V? You told me to come after one hour"
He nodded, processing what he just saw.
"I hate you, Jungkook!" He murmured to himself "I will never forgive you for what you did"
(THE DESEASE MENTIONED IN HERE IS FAKE, FAKE AND FAKKEEEEEEEEE IN REAL LIFE (though not in this book) )
V was eating dinner in his room because he wasn't feeling well.
There was a knock on the door and V yelled to come in.
The door opened revealing Robert, a letter in his hand. "Someone left this for you sir" He said, stretching his hand out to pass the letter to him.
V took it and told him to leave.
He opened it.
Dear V (or I may call you TAE)
What's up? Now you gonna make a face so I'll leave out the greetings.
My amazing Tae, Jimin, your precious ex-best friend, is in serious danger. I knew you wouldn't listen to me in the restaurant, so I did not argue, otherwise your scary mafia would rage out.
If you want proof, meet me at the downward restaurant again, but this time, the restaurant will be empty except for us.
I'll be waiting
Your lovely, beautiful, and sweetest friend,
Jungkook
As much as he hated letters from Jungkook, this one seemed important to him. He can't risk the life of Jimin by not believing him.
V took in a deep breath.
"Fine! I'll believe you this time"
.........................................................................
"Yes, find anything you can! Don't disappoint me or else you'll end up in the graveyard nearby" V ordered Robert and he nodded before leaving.
V had been sitting on his bed and giving orders out to Robert since the letter from Jungkook arrived.
It was nearly 7 PM, and he felt the urge to sleep. According to Dr.Namjin he has a disease known as anti-army. It is a really rare disease. This happens to people who are very emotionally connected to their past. It involves of encountering past memories at a particular time it usually occurs, easily getting angry at little things, and falling unconscious at random times. If the persons encountering past memory time has started but the person is dreaming, he or she see's it in his or her dream with only hearing some words and feel no pain, whereas when conscious, he or she will have to go through pain and encounter the whole memory of the moment. V's anti-army starting time is 7 PM. So is 6:30 her sleeping time.
He fell into deep sleep by 6:58.
He saw Jungkook in his dream, head slightly tilted and smiling and speaking sweetly. "Taee!"
Then there was a flash and she saw Jimin lying on the floor with someone holding a dagger at his neck.
The image of him faded with V saw himself crouched in a corner, tears streaming in his eyes "No!"
All of a sudden he woke up with a gasp, covered in sweat and breathing heavily.
He looked up at the clock just to see that it was 7:09.
"Oh no!" he started shaking her head and that was all he heard himself say until he fell unconscious.
