Start from the beginning
                                    

Yeah?

Kookie

Who are you?

Jungkook

... You're that guy aren't cha?

That guy? Watch your language, young one

Mr Mountain, really?

Then what do you suggest?

Mr ishoveadildoupyourass

You've changed. Manners, kook

Whatever. I'm calling it quits

No. Don't you remember what their family did to dad?

... What?

They shot him

You're lying. Stop manipulating me

I'm not. Didn't mum said its better not knowing? Cause you know why? He's dead. You didn't know cause you stayed with mum while I stayed with dad.

No.. No.. You're tryna fool me that's all

Ask him whether he knows a man named J.Terry

"Hey sorry. I need to go back to the office" he mentioned as he walked back into the room.

"Tae, wait"

"Yes, babe?"

"Do you know of a guy named J.Terry?"

"Terry the old man?"

I nodded, maintaining the flow.

"He died. Like 6 years ago. Why?"

"N-nothing" I denied. "I was randomly googling as always. It stated he died of a gunshot?"

"Yes but it was an accident. We were filming a shooting scene at that point of time. They handed me a revolver. Obviously it's fake since it's acting but as I pulled the trigger, and the bullet hit his heart, blood splattered everywhere and the man was gasping for air. So i thought 'Man he's so good in acting' but things turned south immediately when a couple minutes later, the man was dead for good"

"So how did you feel about that?"

"Nothing, I guess? I was 16 when I first started acting. My concern was the money and fame that's all and since I was still a minor, the police let me off so phew, that's a relief"

"You didn't even feel the slightest bit of guilt?"

"Honestly? No. They say he was useless anyway" he yawned. "Alright kookie, I gotta go. See you tonight!"

I send him off to the doorstep. My phone started to ring once I shut it, my back against the wood oak door.

Fine you were right

I'm your twin. Why would I lie?

Cause you're a bloody asshole?

Avenge dad for us. You know how much mum loves him and I know you do too

Let it go it's in the past

Fine you may not love dad but you're mummy's boy, aren't cha?

So?

Do you know mum died cause of depression?

.... You're lying

You're so naive, kookie

Mum didn't die that way

She overdosed herself to death

You're lying! Lying!

Check her medical records

What are you? A private investigator?

Even better. I'm flawless in everything I do

I can't avenge them

You have to! You're a Jeon, goddammit

But...

You love him? Sheesh don't make me laugh

I can't lose him

Which one is more important? Family? People you're bound to forever? Or a boyfriend? Someone you can replace?

...

It's your decision, kookie.

"Umm Jungkook" one of Tae's helper said. "Are you okay?"

I wiped the tear which almost escaped my eyes and replied. "Tell Taehyung I won't be seeing him tonight" with that said, I walk out his apartment with fury burning in my heart.

Blood is thicker than water.
