He  had  walked  back  and  forth  to  that  house  almost  four  times  so  headed  back  alone. 

                          
 It  took  him about thirteen  minutes  from  their  cottage  so  he  didn't  want  his  mother  to  walk  for  another  almost a half  an  hour  for  his silly  problem.  
                          
It  was  only  around  eight  but  people  were  already  getting  back  to  their  houses  for  the night and stuff. 
                          
"Jeongguk?  Is  that  you?"  Jeongguk saw  two  figures on the other side of the  road  eftsoon.  
                          
It  was  Taehyung's sister  and  her  husband.
                          
 "Oh Noona!?"  Jeongguk  half  hoped  that  they  had not  followed  them to  return  his  phone.
                          
 "I  was  about to  go  back  to  your  house-i Left  my  phone there "
                          
"Oh  We  could  have  brought  it  with  us  if  we  knew, Actually  we  are  called  in  by  the  leader  to discuss  something. I  am  not  sure  for  what  but  Taehyung  is  still  there, You  can  go " 
                          
"Alright. I'll  be  on  the  way  then"
                          
 "Wait jeongguk"  The  lady  called  him  once  again  as  he  took  a  step  or  two.
                          
 "Yeah?" 
                          
"Could  you  stay  with  Tae  till  our  return? I  don't  know  what  it  is  but  I  don't  like  leaving  him  alone" 
                          
"Yeah  okay! No  problem " Well  Jeongguk would  miss  the  dinner  if  he  stayed  back  till  their  return  but  he  couldn't say no. 
                          
He fastened  his  pace  because  something  in  the  voice  of  the  noona  made  him  feel  unsettling and the fact they were called at such an hour to talk about something. Well he knows he maybe over thinking .. Or not.
                          
He  made  a mental  note  to  call  his  mother  as  soon  as  he  reached  there  because  he  didn't  want  her  to  worry.
                          
 He  reached  the  house  after  a  few  minutes  and  the lights  were  turned  off  in  the  porch  and  the  living room.  He  knocked  a  few  times  but  there  was  no  response.  
                          
At first he thought might taehyung be asleep already but when he didn't respond for another Nth time of knocking... 
                          
The eerie  feeling  in  his  gut  intensified  as he could  feel  the  smell  of  distress  in  the  air.  
                          
He  called  out  the  name  of  Taehyung  a  few  times  over  and there  was  no  movement  in  the  house. 
                          
 Soon  Jeongguk  grew  a  bit  impatient,  trying  to  open  the  door for  himself  he  found  out  that  it  wasn't  locked.
                          
He  quickly  went  inside  turning  on  the  lights  along  the  way  and  saw  his  phone  still  on  the  coffee  table where  he  suspected  to  leave  it.  
                          
But  there  was  no  sign  of  Taehyung. Jeongguk didn't  know  what  came  over  him  but  he  knew,  somewhere  deep  inside  him,  he  knew  that Taehyung  was  in  trouble.
                          
So  he  stopped  wasting  time  and  made  his  way  upstairs  frantically  calling Taehyung's  name.
                          
And  nothing  in  the  world  had  prepared  him  for  the  sight  he  saw  before  him. 

                          
 There  were  two  men, probably from the funeral he remembered a bit, one  holding  Taehyung's  hands  behind  him  with  one  hand  and  another  one  over  his mouth  and  the  second  one  holding  his  legs,  almost  naked  and  Taehyung  in  between  them  thrashing and  shaking,  eyes  blown  wide  and  tears  falling,  his  clothes  all  scattered  around  the  bed. 
                          
And  if  Jeongguk  was  even  a  minute  late,  he  didn't  know,  hell he didn't even want  to  think  what  would  have happened  to  Taehyung. 
                          
And his eyes grew darker... Darker then a black void.
