Major Kim : Hero... Or Villain ??
The Grave of Myself
It was never about the weather...
It was all about the day, a single day...
Not that worthy but no matter what the forecasting confirmed or experts declared the entire day would be engrossed with darkness....
People called it a Dead Day...
The entire city would be in a swing of heavy rainfall. No witness of sunlight, The streets of Seoul would look abandoned, Shops closed, Schools got a permanent holiday, it would look like a city of dead.
It's been happening since 1994
Not a single one truly knew... Just rumors and exaggerated stories
But somewhere, A Man knew, his heart told him, and he believed. He would never even whisper about it, he would never dare to even mention it, it was a secret...
A secret he witnessed... Beautiful yet Dark...
Thunder rolled across the sky like the wrath of some forgotten god, shaking the earth beneath their feet. The graveyard laid drenched beneath sheets of relentless rain, every headstone glistening under brief flashes of lightning. Trees groaned in the wind, their skeletal branches clawing at the darkness as if trying to pull the heavens down with them.
An immense pain went through his heart, as he stumbled a bit standing in front of the cemetery.
For a moment he simply stared at the names carved on the stone.
His heart wrenched, like it would bleed if he carried the grief for long. He did come here, every single year
Trying to less the grief, regret, still nothing changed.
Nothing could give him relief.
His shoulders slumped completely, drenched in the relentlessly falling sheets of the rain, but he cared least for it.
Soon a hand caught his one, softly, called out voice stammering in the heavy rain.
Min Jimin
You shouldn't have brought Taehyung here, Yoon...
Yoongi left out a deep and shaky breathe, he looked down at the little boy merely 6 holding the small umbrella he was given since they arrived...
Bewildered and fragile...
Min Yoongi
It's the very first and last time, I brought him here, Jimin...
Yoongi crouched at Taehyung's level and held him in his arms gently
Min Yoongi
Are you scared sweetie??
Taehyung stared at his father, his vision blur, the rain was too heavy, and he was too afraid, wanted to agree, run away from here...He could see shadows playing in front of the lamp, hear soft whispers against his ear
But... No...he can't disappoint his father by being weak, so just gave a small smile, barely...
Yoongi patted his head and stood up again..
Min Yoongi
I can feel their presence Jimin, I can feel it..
Yoongi barely whispered But his husband heard it right clenching over his arm staring at the cemetery...
Min Jimin
That won't any difference...
Jimin replied bitterly, too much to carry
Two cemeteries placed closed unlike others...
Both having different dates carved on it....
Yoongi placed a huge bouquet of beautiful daises in front of the cemetery
Taehyung watched silently, he did remember how his father struggled the whole day just for a bouquet of daisies. That pale and whitened face he had never witnessed...
But all he could hear was
"They were someone's favorite"
But was never told who that someone was...
Taehyung flinched when he saw his father falling on his knees, in the mud. That clean, ironed suit getting all filthy, kneeling in front of the cemetery...
Not a cry, something far more painful
The sound of a man who had truly never healed. Tears mixed with the rain streaming down his face...
Silently, Jimin knelt beside Yoongi, one hand settling upon his shoulder...
There were no words to offer, After all these years, there never were...
Some wounds simply became a part of you, and then they stay forever.... The wound might heal, but the scar sustains....
Taehyung took a step back...
Min Taehyung
Dad Please... Eomma No...
He almost begged, but couldn't say those words loud, his little voice won't pierce through the heavy rain and thunders growling...
He could hear muffled sobs. The strongest people he knew were crying in front of him. It was too vulnerable for him to even consider...
But all he could do was watching them fall apart...
Min Yoongi
I am sorry, I am truly sorry... I-I just couldn't protect you, I couldn't...I failed...terribly
Yoongi sobbed loudly, looking up at the sky, painfully, far more than pain
Min Jimin
Yoon... Its alright, calm down
Jimin rubbed his arm, trying to comfort his husband even though tears were streaming down his face, and he couldn't stop it
Taehyung didn't realize how much time had passed...
For how long he was standing there helplessly staring at the flowers getting soaked in rain...??
For how far he watched the man who never had his gaze down in front of anyone was now badly trembling just in front of a cemetery??
Well, That 6 years old didn't know what this place was, and what these stones stood deep inside the soil meant...
But when he saw his parents weeping like this, he knew it wasn't a child play anymore
It was far heavier than he could ever reconsider...
But at last he could do nothing...
All he could remember was being dragged out from the yard, Yoongi held his hand firmly....
As Taehyung was taken away he turned back gazing over the two cemeteries, rubbed his eyes to clear his vision...
The rain was too heavy that it blurred his vision, still at the last minute he caught a glimpse of two names carved on it...
~Kim Taehyung & Jeon Jungkook~

Hero or...Villain?
A sheer black and glossy car stood in front of the enormous building, Everyone in the country knew whom it belonged to, There was no need of any boards or posters....
Still had the aura to be counted in the top 5 of the best companies in South Korea. It held a symbol of innovation, professionalism and modern industrial excellencies...
The building featured with sleek architectural design with towering glass panels, spacious interior and a strong structural presence that reflects the company's visions and ambitions
No one in the history had witnessed An ordinary man achieving the peak in such a less time. People did call it a "Miracle" or used words like "Scams" but only Min Yoongi knew how much it took to build a company from nothing
The patience and perseverance it took was nothing just a wink for people but for him, it was his entire life...
Usually the company would be quiet, just men and women passing in and out.
But today was a different atmosphere
The entrance held chaos, media, business partners, camera men were present to get a sight of...
The next heir of Min Industries, was today going to join the company as The CEO of Min Industries
He was young, maybe 24, still professional. As soon as the black Bentley stood at the entrance was instantly surrounded by media and flashes. A long red carpet was rolled from the car, Taehyung stepped out gaining screams.
He was not just handsome but a definition of what people called...
It was his first appearance officially. Effortlessly didn't miss even a single chance to gain everyone else's attention. People heard he was good-looking but never expected such an Aura. He walked in glory, directly towards the main door where his father stood
Yoongi smiled and embraced Taehyung patting his back with a proud grin
Min Yoongi
Welcome son....!!! I hope you prove yourself deserving...
Taehyung stepped forward towards a young faced woman, dark glasses still on, her attire screamed wealth. Kim Jennie...that's what she was named, both shook hands with each other professionally
Kim Jennie
I hope you do well...
Taehyung rolled his eyes at her
Min Taehyung
At least better than you...
Yoongi guided Taehyung towards his cabin, finally, after a while, Jennie entered as well closing the door behind, all away from the noise and flashes...
Now it was only three of them
As soon as the door was closed Yoongi dropped that smile and sprawled on the couch trying to get comfortable
Min Yoongi
I hate smiling...
Min Yoongi
Ouch!! My jaw hurts
Yoongi said while massaging his jaw over dramatically
Taehyung removed his coat immediately
Min Taehyung
Kim Jennie...!!!! Catch!!!
Taehyung threw the coat on her, landed directly on her face making her whimper in annoyance, but Taehyung cared for the least of it
Min Taehyung
Ohhh Gosh!!! It was so exhausting...
Taehyung flopped on the chair with relief in his voice, exactly like a prisoner coming out of jail after a decade
Kim Jennie
DAD!!! WARN YOUR SON BEFORE HE DROPS ON THE FLOOR DEAD...
She sounded worst while looking at Yoongi who suddenly came out of his dreams
Min Yoongi
Huh?? Yeah Taehyung...She is your elder sister, Behave
But Taehyung already caused a havoc
Min Taehyung
Aww... Kim Jennie... Stop it now, you are a married woman....!!!
Min Taehyung
Still doing Dad's princess acts?? Fight for yourself yah!!!
Taehyung teased loudly making Jennie frustrate as hell
Kim Jennie
You need to be murdered, the world begs for peace
Both were almost running around the clean and extremely furnished desk placed at the center, throwing things and each other. Causing a whole mess, the cabin no longer looked like a CEO's one...
Yoongi was busy dozing off, he tried to wake up in between only to mumble
Min Yoongi
Yeahhh... Go on, Kill each other... I will inform the church
At last sleep was his first priority
And his children would still doubt how this sleepy head handled such a huge responsibility
Jimin stared at the clock, it was late, they weren't home yet... He chuckled remembering how Taehyung clung on him from yesterday to witness his first appearance of CEO but he was sick since morning, wasn't able to attend...
Being lost in his own thoughts for while, the door bell rang. He immediately got on his feet, walked hastily to open the door
As the door was opened to have three people, two of them glaring at each other and one of them yawning lazily....
Min Taehyung
Eommaa, I misshed you shoo muchhhh....
Taehyung whined like a complete baby as he threw himself entirely on Jimin who embraced him lovingly
Min Jimin
How was your day baby??
But before hearing another baby voice
Jennie pushed Taehyung harshly making him stumble off on the ground, he whinced in pain
Kim Jennie
Totally deserving...
Jennie scoffed and wrapped her arms around Jimin dragging him towards the living room
Taehyung followed them like a yapping puppy
And Yoongi stood there dumbfounded at the door, Almost in disbelief
Min Yoongi
Excuse me? Why you guys keep stealing my husband?? Anyone listening??
But in vain, No one was listening...
Kim Jennie
Taehyung, get ready tomorrow, you have to go on time
Jennie spoke in a very gentle, honey voice making Taehyung side eyed her...
Min Taehyung
Why? For for office...?
Taehyung asked innocently, Jennie shook her head
Kim Jennie
No, my baby brother, tomorrow's trash day. The garbage truck is coming to pick you up and drop where you belong...
She spoke with utter pity in her voice
Min Taehyung
MOM! WHY THIS LADY STAYING AT OUR HOUSE?? SEND HER TO HER HUSBAND'S HOUSE!!
Taehyung yelled in frustration and Jennie rolled on the floor laughing
Min Jimin
Taehyung, stop it. Go and give this blankets to Mr. Wang, it's getting colder these days...
Jimin said while handing over warm blankets to Taehyung who was still throwing fire at Jennie
Min Taehyung
Tell her, She's the maid here
Jimin placed the blankets in Taehyung's hands...
Min Jimin
Behave Taehyung. That's how you talk with your Noona huh??
Kim Jennie
Let it be Mom. Mannerless Kiddo....
Before Taehyung could walk over her Jimin spoke in a warning voice...
Min Jimin
You going or not Tae?
Taehyung walked over that outhouse, shabby but clean where Old Mr.Wang lived..
He had no one for a support rather than the Min Family. The Min always took care of him...
Taehyung stood at the entrance peeking inside
Min Taehyung
Mr. Wang...!!!
Min Taehyung
Eomma sent this blankets for you...!!
Mr. Wang sat at the edge of the bed stirred a bit, smiling through his wrinkled face
Mr. Wang
Ahh, Taehyung...Come inside son
He said his voice getting heavier and thin. Taehyung didn't wish still entered, walked over to Mr. Wang and placed those blankets besides him
Min Taehyung
Eomma said its getting colder nowadays
Mr. Wang
That's very nice for him, show my gratitude towards your mother
Taehyung nodded as well and was about to leave when
Mr. Wang
Your voice reminds me of someone...
Mr. Wang said in a low voice but enough for Taehyung to hear. He frowned turning back to the old man, and asked out of curosity
Mr. Wang
I Can't see you, you know my eyesight is just a traitor. But your voice....
Taehyung sat down besides him
Min Taehyung
What was his name??
Mr. Wang took a moment to reply
Mr. Wang
Kim....Kim Taehyung, that man was so polite, so respectful. He used to work for the General...
Taehyung was taken a bit back. He felt uneasy for hearing the name, he shrugged it off, maybe because it was same to his
Min Taehyung
Where is he now??
Mr. Wang took a deep breathe
Mr. Wang
I don't know, I left my job at the General's residence earlier. But I did heard that he died.
Mr. Wang
Such a nice man he was...
Taehyung curled up his fingers into a fist, it felt like someone was hurting him, and he won't know Why?
Mr. Wang
He was in love...
Mr. Wang
So in love with the General's son...
Taehyung's heart did a unexpected twist, his hands trembled but still wasn't satisfied
Min Taehyung
What happened to him??
Mr. Wang
I don't know son...
Mr. Wang
They say that....Major Kim died on the battlefield
He paused for more than few seconds, trying to remind out of his poor memory
Mr. Wang
But others swear they saw him return...
Mr. Wang
The people also say he murdered the General's only son... the very man he loved more than his own life....
Mr. Wang
And some believe that after the war ended... unable to live with what he had done, he took his own life....
Taehyung's breathe hitched, his throat felt too dry to utter a word. Still he managed after a long silence
Min Taehyung
Which one is true???
The old man smiled sadly, looking down at his feet
Mr. Wang
I don't know dear...I was sick most of the time
Mr. Wang
I only know war has a cruel way to turn truth into rumours, heros into monster and villains into Martyrs...
Mr. Wang
Perhaps, he was one of the greatest hero....
Mr. Wang
May god forgive me, perhaps he was the darkest villain ever....
Taehyung didn't reply, his mind had a storm of thoughts, his frown got deeper, this was not at all convincing
Min Taehyung
Major Kim...?
Min Taehyung
Was he a Hero... or a Villain??
There was silence for a long time. No one spoke. Mr. Wang was the first to break the silence...
Mr. Wang
Why don't you ask your father?
Mr. Wang
He used to work as General son's bodyguard back then...
That Nightmare ~
The heaven wept as though mourning for a forgotten sin...
Rain crashed against the earth without mercy, thunder tore through the skies, and every flash of lightning illuminated the world for a fleeting moment before swallowing it back into darkness...
In the midst of this endless storm stood Taehyung, all alone and motionless, rain streamed down his face, clinging to his lashes until the world before him dissolved into shifting shadows...
Someone stood a few steps away from him, A mere silhouette, close enough to touch but too blurred to recognize. Their hands were tangled together, tightly as if it was the very last time they were holding on to each other...
Taehyung couldn't know if it was struggle, comfort or love...?
There hands were tangled, both were holding the same thing...
Between them rested something cold, a lot merciless....A Gun...
His hands trembled, that thing felt too heavy to carry for a second longer. His voice cracked painfully...
Taehyung...
Please...? Don'tt-Don't make me do this...
The figure remained silent, only the sound of uneven breathing lingered between them. THEN...came a sob, broken, almost pleading...
？？？
You always hesitate hyung...
Taehyung shook his head violently
Taehyung...
Forgive me, forgive me... I beg you. There-there has to be another way...
The stranger's hand tightened around the gun...
Lightning spilt the skies between them, for the briefest moment Taehyung almost saw his face....
But darkness reclaimed everything...
？？？
You should have done this earlier...
Taehyung...
No... Please... I beg you, don't
He could hear that person taking in a sharp breathe, as if it was the last time
？？？
Kill me Hyung, or I kill myself...
Time froze, rain almost creased and for a moment the thunder held its breath. Taehyung couldn't figure out who pressed the trigger, but all he heard was a gunshot. That seemed to pierce through his own skin...
Taehyung screamed loudly waking up from his sleep. His heart thumped against his ribs violently. Sweat dripped from his forehead even if it was freezing cold outside..
He cursed under his breathe
He ran his fingers through his hair frustrated enough, another night but same dream
This was not just a Nightmare but a clip of horror film, that would play again and again since his childhood...
It haunted him, always the same storm, the same stranger, the same voice and always those soft whispers he couldn't hear, always a gunshot
But never the face, never the name. Only terror...
Only unheard whispers and a gunshot...
He still remembered the way his father's face went paler when he shared about his reoccurring dream
They visited therapists, specialists, even the church but nothing helped. Every remedy they would offer was useless. At the end, all he could do was resistance...
And at this point, that made him helpless too... It continued like a part of his life
Sometimes he feanred closing his eyes, and sometimes he wouldn't be able to sleep for a entire night or two. He was used to it, that was nothing different but the pain he felt every time was terrible...!
Min Jimin
Sleep Tae, Eomma is with you hm??
His mother used to say, and put him to sleep, holding in to him tightly... But that wouldn't help too... Those nightmares continued
Taehyung stood in his balcony, walked in the garden, roamed all around the house, but his heart was still restless...
At last, he stopped, at the very corner of corridor...
Barely visible... He stared at it for a very long moment
That was a forbidden door...
Back then, When he was a child. He did enter that small, dark room, but before he could see anything, he was pulled out harshly...
Min Yoongi
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO OPEN THAT DOOR??!!!
Yoongi yelled at him almost shaking the walls not with anger alone but with fear, real fear...
The servants were warned strictly not to leave the door open ever again. And Taehyung could never know what secret it held...
Min Taehyung
Why the hell does it even exists??
He whispered to himself noticing surprisingly that the door was not locked...
That place inside was cleaned every week, Maybe one of the servant's carelessness
A chance to know for something he has been wondering since childhood...
Years of unanswered questions could finally come to an end...
But also a clear chance to disobey his father...
He would never do that, some secrets demanded too high a price...
So Taehyung just walked away, slipping back into his blankets gazing over the ceiling trying to sleep, but he surely knew it would never come...!
