Chapter 31: Mystic boy

His hands were tied with thick rope. He was sitting (nearly lying) on the ground. There were so many bruises all over his body but when he looked at his body carefully, he found it was the girl's body again. She was wearing a white top though it got muddy all over it and a black pants but it tore here and there and her leg was bleeding though it wasn't bleeding that much.

"Please spare me." she begged the person in front of her. The person was sitting on a huge chair. Seems like it was his throne. She looked at him and got scared of him.

"What should we do with her? She tried to escape again." a guy from her back talked.

"Let me ask her." the guy smirked and bent down to the girl. He touched her chin and let her look at him. He was overjoyed by the crying face of the girl while smirking at her. Her messy hair covered her face so it wasn't clear how she looked. But it could be understandable that if she wasn't tortured, she would be a very beautiful lady.

"P-Please! L-Let m-me g-go." she begged again.

"Okay, I'll let you go...go with your favorite person." the guy laughed cruelly and his laughter sound was so despicable that it kept ringing in her ear even though he stopped laughing.

"Father!" a boy came inside the basement and went straight to the leader. He left winter and sat on his throne comfortably by crossing his legs. "Come, Son! Come! I was expecting you!" he smiled and went back to his seat. The boy looked at the girl and felt pity though he couldn't do anything about the girl. He sighed and made an angry face on his father.

"Ah! Is she disturbing you?" the old guy mentioned Winter who was falling on the ground. He stood up from his seat at last and went to the girl. He went to her and squatted down to her. He made her look above by grabbing her hair. This time winter could see the boy's face. He was very tall and slim. He was wearing black full sleeved shirt and pants. He folded his sleeves and his white skin was visible. He was wearing black racers' gloves and it made him look very cool. His face was telling how ferocious he was just then and maybe he just came back after killing someone. He just looked like a cute giant bunny but the rage on his face was dangerous. So dangerous that one might get a heart attack just by a glance.

"I didn't come here to watch your filthy businesses." he opened his mouth and nearly threw fire on his own father.

Beomgyu opened his eyes while huffing and felt he was dropping tears.

"Are you okay?" the voice, which just made him frightened in his dream, asked.

"I-it w-was not m-me....I-it C-Can't be.... I-I w-wasn't t-there! I-it c-can't b-be m-me..." Beomgyu couldn't speak well as he was so scared.

"It's....." Soobin tried to hold his hand but Beomgyu pushed him away out of fear. He was trembling too much and sweating but neither he could look at Soobin nor Namjoon. The three of them were in the chamber of Namjoon and Beomgyu was taking the therapy but what he just saw, couldn't believe it.

"Please tell me i-it w-wasn't y-you! I s-saw y-you! Y-You were there! N-No! p-please tell me it wasn't you!" suddenly Beomgyu cried out. He covered his face with his arms while trembling. Both Soobin and Namjoon were surprised and looked at each other. Soobin was more than surprised and also afraid.

"I-It's okay, it's okay. Everything will be alright. It's okay." Soobin suddenly stood up and hugged Beomgyu to console him. Namjoon was too stunned that he couldn't speak nor could he understand what he needed to do right then.

"S-Soobin! I-I j-just saw you in my dreams.... N-No! I-In my m-memory. Y-You were l-looking s-so d-dangerous. So soooo dangerous. A-Are we related, Soobin?" Beomgyu couldn't speak well as he kept crying. Soobin got afraid since Beomgyu just recalled his past too. But he had no idea if he had seen Beomgyu before. He tried to remember but as far he knows, It was that night inside the store when he first saw Beomgyu.

"Maybe it's all your hallucinations. I'm sure that we weren't related before. You must've made a mistake." Soobin replied and tried to stay calm.

"No! It was real! I feel it! I know it's my memory. I-I can feel it. A-Are you hiding something from me, Soobin? I'll hate you if that's the case. Please let me know everything about you." Beomgyu pushed Soobin away but he didn't look at him.

"B-Beomgyu!" Soobin was very depressed but also afraid.

"Please come to my chamber and explain everything you saw." Namjoon opened his mouth after some time but he was still surprised and tried to connect the lines of the two young boys but failed every time.

Beomgyu explained everything that he saw and how they felt so real to him as if it was his own memory, not the girl's. Namjoon took notes on every details and changed some medicine for him. But when Beomgyu told he saw a gang leader who was torturing him and Soobin came to him addressing him as father, Soobin was astonished. He couldn't say anything or make any moves. He was sitting like a statue since he even forgot to blink. Namjoon was trying his best to sympathize Beomgyu and after struggling for a while, Beomgyu was calm and took deep breath. Though he stopped crying, his eyes were puffy and red. He wanted to lean on someone but he just couldn't trust the person whom he wanted to lean on.

Namjoon looked at Soobin. with a very suspicious look. Seems like he discovered something about him. Since he was good at reading minds, he could guess why Soobin was frightened.

"Then it was all true. Beomgyu just saw his past memory and somehow both of them are related. But Soobin can't remember Beomgyu since he wasn't Beomgyu back then." Namjoon was talking in his mind and judging the both young boys.

"You should go and take a rest, Beomgyu! Don't do anything else after returning from here." Namjoon was referring to Jackson since he knew Jackson called Beomgyu in the morning and gave him some tusk to do.

"Don't worry. I'll be fine. As long as I have him by my side." Beomgyu looked at Soobin and smiled after a long time. But Soobin couldn't match his eyes with him since he was feeling guilty for some reason.

They left the hospital together and Soobin wanted some space alone to think about something. But he couldn't leave Beomgyu's side since he saw that bull bodied guy around them. He could guess what was going on though he hated it, he couldn't do anything about it. Actually, the guy was following Soobin every time and noted what he was doing or where he was going to report it to his boss. Soobin sighed and kept walking with Beomgyu but both of their mouths were shut.

Soon they reached Jackson's house but Soobin was embarrassed to go inside as he wasn't familiar with the house owner. So, instead of going inside, he chose to wait for Beomgyu outside since he needed to protect Beomgyu from that stalker.

Jackson saw Soobin from inside though he didn't notice Jackson. But after seeing him, he smirked as if he saw his rival after a long time. When he gave tasks to Beomgyu, he left. He went to the window and saw the interaction of the two boys. He found it interesting and laughed maniacally in his mind.

[After, In Jackson's room]

There was a picture of the men. There were two boys in that picture including him and an old guy. Three of them were smiling brightly. Jackson took the photo case and caressed the other boy's face with his thumb. He sat on his bed and lost in thoughts. He kept touching the boy's face. He was very sad but also angry.

"I found him! I found him, Mark! I will surely avenge you and your dad! Count on me! I'm gonna kill him and his father no matter what!" His voice was soft and hurtful. Then he kissed the boy's face in the picture and put it back on its place. He opened his drawer and took a piece of paper. He took a look at the paper to be sure of something and when he was sure that he just saw this boy standing outside his door, he fisted his hand and the paper was squeezed.

Soobin's face was clearly sketched on that paper.
