"This is the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen in my entire life," The thief mutters under his breath, and looks down at the black diamond which he has been holding in his right hand, probably waiting for the diamond dealer to show up. "I don't want to trade you for money, but I desperately need it."

"Kim Taehyung," The diamond dealer calls out the thief's name, and rolls down the car window. "The money is in this bag," Without getting out of the car, he throws the bag of money in front of Taehyung's feet, and continues talking, "Now, give me The Black Orlov."

The man reaches out his hand in order to grab the diamond out of the thief's, but the boy takes a few steps backwards, not knowing whether he is making a right decision by making the diamond dealer very angry.

All that is in his mind is the thought of not knowing what to do.

Although he needs the money for some personal reasons, still he can not let go of it, because he nearly died trying to steal it from a museum.

Having no friends by his side, the diamond has been a very good friend to Kim Taehyung when he had nobody around.

He used to talk to it, and tell it everything. Although it is just a piece of rock, he believes that it is one of the greatest friends he has ever had, because it does not advise him when he is full of madness, just like what the other friends do.

Maybe, he has gone crazy, but he knows that he needs the money more than anything, because if he does not sell the diamond, he has to keep stealing for living.

Why is it taking him so long to make a decision?

"You know what?" Taehyung wipes away the teardrops that have already fallen down on his soft cheeks. "Fuck you!" He sticks his tongue out, and runs away from there, disappearing into the darkness, without even caring about the diamond dealer's yelling.

He runs to a grocery store, and hides behind a shelf, not wanting to be seen by anyone as he is trying to catch his breath.

Hungry. He feels hungry, but he has no money, at the moment, so the thought of stealing some food while everybody is busy, surrounds his mind.

"Don't be a bad boy," He says to himself. "But you are a bad boy," He changes his voice, and says to himself, again. "That's right." He smiles, and grabs some food when he makes sure that nobody is watching.

He walks out of the grocery store, and decides to leave there as fast as possible, but soon, a handsome stranger grips his wrist.

"You aren't a thief, are you?"
