"The game isn't over yet, Jeon!"

There were many eyes at the moment that were burning by the pain of betrayal_betrayal of a loyal son and a trustworthy hyung.

Have you ever felt the pain.....pain by someone you truly loved and cared for?

It can't be defined nor expressed with any combination of words. It bruises your soul with an unseen weapon, that can pierce through your heart and drain out the immense love and affection brimming in there. All that is left, is just the remorse_to turn things back to when they were normal, to erase the pain and workout things in other way for better future, to correct your mistake if there was any.

But its all that one could wish for.....it won't happen just because you yearn for it. 'Cause life is a one-way street. No U-turns, no backing....just keep going until you arrive the destination.

"Namjoon! Get back to your senses,son! Do you even know what are you doing right now?"jihwan yelled with gun pointing towards the said male.

There was desperation in his eyes, to bring his son back to reality. He believed him and will continue to believe his son. But the desperation faltered when joon stared back in his eyes with no hint of emotion at all.

"Son? I don't see you as my father, Mr.Jeon."

"ae whispered in disbelief as his eyes ran out of tears.

"What happened to you? We can always talk this out, right?"

"No,we can't."

"Son, tell me the reason. How this fvcking piece of sh*t tricked your brain that you aren't seeing straight! I believe in my son. Tell me why you're doing this."

"Firstly,I'm not your son. Secondly, call me Arthur, got it?"he raised a brow making his point clear to others.

"Ok,so we've many puzzles still unsolved. Am I right Jeon?"darco said looking at the rival businessman standing at some distance from him.

"What says Arthur, should we spill the beans before graving these humans here itself?" the mafia asked wavering his hands toward the whole basement they were in.

"Sounds good. So let me have this pleasure, sir."

He turned to look at the pale and exhausted tae curled up at a corner and then jungkook who was still pointing gun at darco.

"You were right,junior Jeon. I was the one chasing your beautyboy all the time. I attacked him several times to let you know I won't let him live in peace. You need to return this boy to where he belongs _the hell where his dead parents are right now!"

He spatted out looking into eyes of jungkook, who was beyond furious and shocked to see his hyung in such state.

"I was the one who placed that locket at his doorstep to make him realise what really the pain and torment of losing a parent means. I wanted to remind him cause he was living and smiling so shamelessly all this time. While I was still getting eaten up everyday by their memories. I too lost my parents but couldn't afford the life this lover of you was getting to live. Did I do something wrong?"

"Arthur?"

All the eyes were now looking for the familiar voice that echoed through the abandoned basement. Darco and Arthur getting tensed up and now staring at each other.

A male entered through the same door, soon his dark silhouette fading into a clear figure and the next moment...

Leaving the Jeon and others in a complete state of shock! Their jaws dropped to floor and they kept staring back and forth at the two males standing against each other now.

Another man followed joon into the same basement, smirking triumphantly towards the mafia he served years for......

Jihwan was gathering the broken pieces in his mind and it took no time when he realised what was going on. While jungkook_stood still confused and shocked in his place.

"M-myung-junah! You were alive all this time? I searched for you everywhere for years, joon was broken to edge thinking he lost all of his family in that accident.....and you never once tried to come back or contact us?"jihwan asked with curiosity, eyes showing a hint of guilt and disappointment.

"Dad! He isn't the myung-jun we believed him to be. I heard everything from him just moments ago.

Thinking minho will kill me as per their orders,this filthy bastard_whom I never wanna call my brother again_spilled his deeds and intentions to me. Whatever he was going to tell you was to make me the culprit and traitor in front of you"joon turned to now look at the male in front of him, his twin brother_myung-jun.

"Don't ever think of playing with my family again, you piece of trash! Have you ever thought about how this selfish and greedy mafia is turning you into more of a devil by each day?

You dare kill mom dad and are still breathing without an inch of guilt in your heart?"he whispered with rage, jaw clenching and sweatbeads apparent all over his face.

"Hyung,Will you tell me what really the matter is? What's going on here?"jungkook yelled unable to handle his patience anymore.

Joon took a deep breath as his eyes clouded with warm tears, and turned to look at the father he respects the most in his life.

"Dad,that burning incident at my mansion wasn't just an accident. Myung-jun was the one who started that fire and ran away, knowing very well that the whole place will be burned down to ashes, along with mom and dad. I still couldn't believe my twin brother,who has the same blood running through his veins as mine will plan death of our own parents. Destroying my family and existence forever, he wanted to take over everything that belonged once to dad and now to me,solely-"

"WANTED TO? I CAN STILL GET WHAT I FVCKING WANT, NAMJOONAH!"and next moment,before anyone could register what's going on,he strode towards taehyung_strangling him and forced the gun at his head.

"I'LL GIVE YOU A CHANCE,MY BROTHER! TRANSFER ALL YOUR SHARES TO ME AND LEAVE THE COUNTRY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD"he smirked looking down at the boy he caged in his arms,

"Only then I'm planning to spare this beauty for you."

The cocky smirk on his face deepened looking at the frightened expression on tae's face and rage piling up in jungkook's dark eyes.

Before he could enjoy their misery anymore, a gunshot was heard and the grip on taehyung was gone.

The body fell limp next to him and taehyung retrieved himself away from the man lying dead beside him. Jungkook turned around to see joon holding a gun in the same direction, hands trembling as the aftereffect of immense courage he put in his action just now......

The smoke leaving the barell of his gun was nothing compared to burning ache his heart felt. He took the life of his only blood alive on the earth_leaving himself alone. The memories of myung-jun, the same boy who adored him as a brother once,who used to share even the smallest jokes and silliest worries with him,who used to always clean up the mess he would create all the time,whom he promised to protect with all he has got.......played like a flashback in front him.

And there lied the same brother,lifeless and cold on the floor, shot by him seconds ago.

We sometime fail to notice the devil growing inside us,that overtakes the sanity of a human and turns him into something unimaginable. Greed, jealousy,dishonesty and disloyalty feeding this devil over years. And we never know how and when a monster gets birth inside, that eventually controls our existence.

The same monster once born inside myung-jun was impossible to control afterall these years. Only way to save other lives and stop the evil from further empowerment is to destroy the existence itself. That's what joon did, crushing the devil down in pieces that will never be one again.

Taehyung sat frozen in the corner, hugging himself closer as he saw the blood bath and foreseen fight in front of him. Merely few seconds after Arthur fell dead over the floor,the tension around them broke down into a fierce fight. Gunshots ringing all around the shabby place and a merciless encounter between the enemies over years.

Jungkook and his pack knocking down every single bastard coming their way. No one was supposed to be spared today,and that's what exactly could be seen.

As more men started to enter and attack them,jungkook felt the need of more backup,that they unfortunately didn't had. Just then a knife grazed through his arm causing a gush of blood and sudden pain radiating his arm. The other pack members turned to look at their leader,still fighting with every inch of bone they got.

Jungkook flicked the blood off his hands and motioned them to keep going on. Taehyung was following every move of elder,only wish being all of them to be safe and sound by the end of this blood encounter.

The pack of seven along with their leader kept fighting_beating up the men whenever got chance or just shooting their heads barely even missing.

While the men kept brawling furiously in the dark space, taehyung noticed darco taking steps backwards. He saw the scowl decorating his features and brows knitted together as the Mafia successfully reached the back exit and rushed out of the basement. Taehyung struggled to yell for jungkook or just to crawl upto that bastard and hold him in place but failed miserably. He truly was all drained out with no hint of energy left in him.

Before anyone could notice the Mafia missing,they heard a loud thud sound one after another. Both the exits to basement were locked now, means everyone now being trapped inside. This caused the fight to halt abruptly as darco's men started banging the doors, asking mercy on their lives the least.

Apparently, darco was a fvcking selfish and ruthless mafia.

Jungkook ran towards younger,cupping his face to take a look. The guilt and rage filling his bones at the same time. Joon stood in his place, contemplating for a second,when he turned to look at minho,

"What is he planning to do now? You know anything?"he asked to the male standing.

"Well..."minho sighed before replying further.

"He'll burn down the whole place, it's an easy and quick way to get rid of us. This is an abandoned wood factory so just a handful of any fuel and hardly some minutes till we will be ashes,"

"HOW CAN YOU SAY THIS LIKE A FVCKING PIECE OF CAKE? HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND MINHO?"joon yelled at him that was quite reasonable at the moment.

"Then tell me,you have a way to get out of here? Or you are possessed by some supernatural powers that'll help you escape this locked and outcasted basement?"

There was a grim silence for few seconds when they heard a faint banging sound echoing in the space. It was so faint that they couldn't figure it out where it was coming from. Everyone was focused on what is next to come, as each passing second seemed to bring them closer to their end. Merely ten seconds and jungkook noticed the sound directing from a side wall.

"Kill them jihwan! Don't worry,I'll make you guys escape this place soon," a feeble voice was heard filling the thick silence.

"Back to your positions,my boys."

One command and everyone including jungkook's pack was now facing the leftover men they need to knock down.

Jihwan glanced at both his son before facing back to his target,

"Trust your dad for one last time,sons. We need to end these bastards for escaping safely and quickly out of here."

They didn't need to be told twice as now the riot started again. Taehyung lost his consciousness and fell on the cold floor while elder was busy sending the last set of men to hell. Exactly the moment when jihwan's bullet shot the last living piece of trash in his heart,the part of huge wall_ directing sounds in the basement_ collapsed making a tunnel opening enough for a person to pass. The dusty smoke clouded the vision revealing just three figures on other side. Seconds later,they witnessed a lady standing with two men, still panting after the labour they had to do.

The men belonging to darco _that was evident from the outfit they put on.....while the lady gave another surprise to everyone standing there....except jihwan of course.

""joon and jungkook scoffed in disbelief at the same time.

"There's no time for explanations here. The fire has already started, just get out of here as soon as possible. This way will lead you to forest area towards the back of this basement. You cars will be ready out there,be quick!"she said and jungkook ran to pick up tae bridal style that layed on the floor still unconscious.

Nancy got in and helped him to mask both of them in case they get attacked by the firesmoke on their way out. One after other, everyone was now out of the shabby factory, getting in their cars and heading back.

"Dad,Nancy is still inside!"jungkook stated looking around to find her presence.

"We need to get her out of there,the fire is catching up real fast."

"Not you!"jihwan declared holding his son by arms.

"Get taehyung to the hospital first,son. We'll take care of the matters here. Don't waste the time!"

Jungkook glanced at the burning place for the last time before hopping in the car.

"Stay there a little,tae. You'll be alright..."he whispered staring at the dark ahead of him,and sped up towards the city.

Soon the darkness faded and all he could see was a blooming dusk,assuring the rise of sun soon. The nature started to bask in the golden glow faith & hopes.

After long agony,a rapture of bliss

Right was the pathway leading to this...
