Dinning area

"Everyone was eating breakfast silently in the dining area. A strange peace was spread throughout the room. But was it really peace?"

.

.

"Because in this house, when he is present... can anyone ever even breathe in peace? Not at all. This peace was only for a few minutes."

"Suddenly______

The sound of something breaking loudly upstairs was heard—"

...

...

"(Everyone glanced up toward where the sound had come from, and then immediately turned back to their plates as if nothing had happened.)"



Jimin:

"'His morning must have started... I told you it wouldn't take much longer.'

(Jimin said carelessly while taking a bite; there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone too.)"



Yeon jun:

Sigh... who knows which poor soul's turn it is to face misfortune today. I feel pity for that poor person.

(Yon jun shook his head slightly, took a deep breath, and spoke while leaning back against the chair.)"

Miss Min:

"'Will both of you please shut your mouths? Please, just look...'

(Mrs. Min addressed both her children, glaring at them and quieting them down.)"

Hobi:

"'Sorry, Auntie. I can't go!!! I don't want to die.'

(He spoke while blinking his eyes.)"

"

Mrs kim

"'Yoongi, you go, please—'

(Mrs. Kim glanced at Yoongi and addressed him.)"

Suga:

"(Yongi didn't give any answer; he was busy eating as if he wasn't even present there.)"

.

.

"(Mrs. Kim took a deep breath and glanced upstairs, where his voice was now coming from. Even Mrs. Kim didn’t have the courage to go and stop him because when he was in a rage, he didn't care for anyone. Except for Mr. Kim and Reena, he loved only his father and Big Mom very much—and feared them a little too.)"

...*************...

The girl, who just a few moments ago had taken the tray of tea cups in her hands to head toward the gate, suddenly pulled back in alarm as someone unexpectedly stepped through the gate.

.

As soon as V took the cup from his hand, he smashed it against the wall and threw the shirt in front of him.

It was the same shirt... the one he had taken out of the closet just a little while ago. Expensive fabric, elegant stitching, and a tiny mark that was barely visible on the light color.

But for V, even that tiny mark was unbearable. He didn't like stained things; he hated them. He wanted everything to be perfect.

Even if it were a human being. That was why, upon seeing the stain, anger flared in his eyes.

"Are you blind? Is this how you wash clothes?"

(His voice echoed through the entire lawn.)

...**********...

INTRODUCTION ___

This is Kim Taehyung... whom everyone affectionately calls "V."

A perfect young man—thirty years old.

A successful businessman. The pampered darling of the whole house...

He was born after years of oaths and prayers.

There were three brothers in the Kim family.

The eldest was Mr. park,

then at number two, Mr. Kim,

and the youngest was Mr. Min.

The three of them also had a sister who was considered the most sensible and soft-hearted.

Mr. Kim was the first to get married. There was an atmosphere of joy in the house. Everyone hoped that a little laughter would soon echo through the home...

But one year passed, then two, then five...

Yet no child was born.

Time continued to move forward.

Then Mr. Park got married.

Just one year after the wedding, a son was born to Mr. Park—Hobi. There was a celebration in the house.

Drums, sweets, and congratulations.

A year later, Mr. Park had a second son—Suga.

During this time, when Suga was one year old, Mr. Kim married for a second time for the sake of having children. But even after three years, no child was born. When Suga was four years old, Mr. Min also got married—and just one year later, a son was born to him—Jimin. The house began to echo with the laughter of children.

But only silence fell to Mr. Kim's lot. Neither of his two wives had any children. They left no door unknocked—treatments, prayers, vows—whatever was possible, they did. But it was as if fate were still testing them. People would whisper behind their backs... some would express sympathy, while others showed pity. But they say, right? 'There is delay in God's house, but not darkness (denial).' Eleven years after the first marriage and five years after the second..."

Finally, the day came when happiness knocked at Mr. Kim's door too. The second wife gave birth to a son... who was named Kim Taehyung.

He wasn't just a child; he was the answer to hope, the fruit of many vows, and the reward for eleven years of restlessness. That is why he became the apple of everyone's eye."

But this 'apple of the eye' would sometimes make everyone see stars during the day (meaning he was troublesome). V's personality was a collection of strange contradictions. To the outside world, he was confident, dignified, and influential in business—but inside the house... he was stubborn, short-tempered, and a king of his own will, where his own rules applied.

Just one of his glances was enough to silence everyone. A single sentence from him could make or break someone's career. No one could say anything to him because behind every mistake of his, a single argument stood firm: 'He was born after many vows... don't say anything to him.' And perhaps, this excessive love is what made him this way."

Back to the story!!!!

Kim taehyung: "Look at this!"

(He threw his shirt onto the girl's face.)

"You ruined my such expensive shirt! Can't you see?"

(He hissed/growled.)

..

..

(Tears started filling her eyes. Her lips were shaking, but she couldn't make a sound—her voice was totally frozen.)

Her Inner Thoughts: "I know there's no point in explaining... He won't listen. In this house, whatever he says is the law."

V (TAEHYUNG): "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE PRICE OF THIS IS?!"

(His voice was cold, like it was filled with pure poison.)

"EVEN IF YOU BET YOUR ENTIRE YEAR’S SALARY... YOU STILL COULDN'T AFFORD TO BUY THIS SHIRT!"

(He growled, spitting out every single word with total disgust.)

"A GIRL LIKE YOU RUINED MY SHIRT?! HOW DARE YOU!"

 "COULD YOU EVER EVEN DREAM OF BUYING THIS? THAT’S YOUR WORTH... NOTHING!"

(His voice was so sharp and loud that it echoed all the way down to the dining area.)

 "IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THE JOB, WHY DO YOU EVEN DO IT?! ANSWER ME!"

(He screamed, towering over her.)

.

.

YEONJOON: "Poor girl... I really feel sorry for her."

(Yeonjoon swirled the juice in his glass, then took a slow sip before speaking softly.)

..

..

HOBI: "I don’t trust you at all. At the speed you’re eating, I don't think I can drop you off anymore."

"My time is up, so now... V WILL BE THE ONE DROPPING YOU AT THE UNIVERSITY!"

(Wiping his hands, he stood up from the table and walked toward the exit, leaving Yeonjun behind.)

..

.

.

YEONJUN: "No, Brother! Stop! I’m coming with you right now!"

 "It’s better to go hungry than to face him!"

(As soon as he heard V's name, he jumped up from his chair. He grabbed his half-eaten sandwich from the plate and ran after Hobi, shouting for him to wait.)

...

..

..

V (TAEHYUNG): "After today, I DON'T EVER want to see your face in this house again!"

** "Pack your bags right now and GET OUT of here with that pathetic face of yours!"**

(Screaming in rage, he grabbed the door handle of his room and slammed it.)

..

..

Kim taehyung: And one more thing..."

"Take this shirt with you. It’s worthless to me now!"

"DID YOU HEAR ME?! IT'S TRASH TO ME!"

(He turned back to look at her, his eyes burning with pure hatred. He stepped into his room and SLAMMED the door so hard that the sound echoed through the entire villa.)

..

...

..

(Jimin let out a long, heavy sigh.)

JIMIN: "I knew this was going to happen."

(He leaned back against his chair, looking exhausted.)

"Fine, whatever... let him do what he wants. He’s already fired twenty maids this month! Now there are only five left. And today, he kicked out another one."

"I bet it was all her fault anyway. What exactly does he want from people?!"

(He made a face, looking totally frustrated.)

...

...

.

YOONGI: "Maybe his plan is to fire every single servant and make us do all the work ourselves."

 "After all... he is the 'Golden Child' of this house!"

(Yoongi, who had been silent until now, finally finished his breakfast. As he stood up, he leaned toward Jimin with a sarcastic smirk, dropped those words, and walked away.)

..

..

JIMIN: "You—!"

(Jimin turned around to snap back at Suga, but he was already gone.)

JIMIN: "Ugh... that unlucky guy is always in such a hurry!"

(He muttered under his breath, staring blankly at the empty doorway where Suga had just vanished.)

.

.

.

...****************...

...Other side___...

"Lucy, don't touch it, you've already eaten. This belongs to the little one... I had kept it for him."

(Abeeha immediately gave a light slap on Lucy's hand, who was trying to snatch the plate. The plate was still in Lucy's hand, and both of them were pulling it from each other)

.

No, he doesn't need it... I need it!"

(This time there was only stubbornness in Lucy's voice.)

"I want it. And let me remind you that you hide pasta for this madman..."

"...and then he doesn't even tell you!"

(Giving him a threat, she snatched the plate from Abeehy's hand with a jerk and quickly ran out the door with a smirk.)

..

..

Abeeha just kept staring at the empty doorway from which Lucy had just left. He took a deep breath and lowered his gaze.

He had hidden just a little bit of pasta for him... only a few bites. Because that little one loved pasta; whenever he ate it, he would light up with a smile.

But today... his younger sister had taken that, too.

Abeeha looked at his empty hands and felt a slight pang in his heart, as if someone's small happiness had been snatched away right before his eyes.

................

"Abeeha slowly opened the door and walked inside."

..

A faint light from the window was filtering into the room. Sitting on the floor, that innocent boy with big, rabbit-like eyes suddenly jumped up when the door opened.



He immediately looked toward the gate, and a spark of hope flickered in his eyes.

 "appi , you're back?" he whispered. But in the very next moment, his gaze fell upon their hands—they were empty. His heart skipped a beat, and the faint smile on his lips froze into a cold, still silence.

He remained silent for a moment... then, with a forced smile, he turned back toward his drawing.

He was sitting on the floor, a piece of paper spread out before him, upon which he was splashing colors—as if nothing had happened at all. On his face, the smile remained steady; perhaps he simply didn’t know how to be sad.

.

.

.

(He didn’t get upset, he didn't get angry, nor did he stubbornly insist on anything. He didn't even cry.)

This was the very thing that was breaking Abeeha's heart from the inside. She slowly sat down on the floor beside him.

"Sorry, Bunny... the pasta I had kept for you... the cat ate it," she said, her voice softening.

(She offered an explanation instead of the truth, though she knew he didn't need one.)





(Kook remained silent for a few moments, turning his pencil over in his hand.)

"It’s okay, Appi... that cat always eats my share. Maybe she was hungry, poor thing..."

(He was smiling as he filled his picture with blue. There was no complaint in his voice, and no despair.)

.

.

(Abeeha slowly began to run her hand through his hair.)

..

..

"Appi!!"

(He looked up at Abeeha.)

.

"Yes, Abeeha’s life!!!"

(She spoke while still running her fingers through his hair.)

"When will Grand_maa come? I want to play with them... No, I want to go outside. I'm getting bored in this room... Will you take me?"

(kook spoke with a slight pout, an innocent kind of stubbornness. In his deer-like eyes, there was a strange longing to see the world outside.)

..

..

"Grand_maa will come tomorrow, okay? They've gone to Auntie's house. And we'll play downstairs in the courtyard... We'll make a nice game."

(Abeeha looked closely at his face, then replied with softness)

"No! I have to go out now. I want to see outside!"

(He spoke immediately, his voice carrying a slight, stubborn tremor.)

.

.

.

"Bunny... we can't go outside. You know there are bad people out there. And Grandmaa said until they return, you aren't to leave this room. If we go out without telling them, Grandmaa will get angry... and you wouldn't like that, would you?"

(She was trying to distract him, and she knew he was easily persuaded.)

.

.

(Kook's eyes immediately widened.)

"No, no... I won't like it at all if Grandmaa gets angry. Fine then... I’ll stay right here. I won't go anywhere. Appi, look at this drawing... isn't it nice?"

(In an instant, he changed the subject and happily started showing her his drawing.)

.

Abeeha smiled and looked at his paper.

"It's very beautiful... just like you."

And she wasn't lying.

He truly made beautiful pictures—the choice of colors, the delicacy of the lines—it was as if an expert artist had a hand in it. If one thing had been taken from him, another was gifted to him: a sharp mind and creative talent.

***************

INTRODUCTION ___

Jungkook body of a twenty-two-year-old... but his heart and mind were frozen somewhere in the innocence of a thirteen-year-old. An accident had pushed him into a state of "Little Space." After that accident, he had been cut off from the outside world.

His grandmother had kept him hidden from the eyes of the world. She had already lost her son... she didn't have the courage to lose her grandson. Fear had taken the form of love—and that very love had imprisoned him.

Abeeha was his paternal cousin, seven years older than him. She used to teach him, hoping he might learn a little more.

Even a mobile phone was not allowed—it was as if time itself had stopped there. In today's world, people have moved far ahead; the world has changed. But he had been left somewhere far behind.

Yet despite all this, a single wish was still alive in his kohled eyes: the desire to see the world outside... the longing to see those people who lived beyond these walls. These four walls had killed his every wish.

But no one knew... what tomorrow’s sun was going to write in this boy’s destiny.

It was a destiny that was about to change the lives of two people.
