Y/N'S POV ::

The hallway and living room looks mess. There are shattered glasses, lights, ribbons and the flowers. Its all ruined. The efforts and the surprise is all destroyed by the person for whom I did it. I let out a sigh as I wipe the tears and look around. The blood stain on my arm reminds that he was bleeding. I hope he is fine. Nibbling on my bottom lip I crouched down as I picked up the broken star which I used for decoration purpose. Suddenly I hear Jungkook screaming as I immediately got back on my feets and rushed upstairs. As soon as I reached his room I twisted the door knob and went inside. "Jungkook!" I gasped at the sight in front of me.

Even his room is a mess. My eyes darted towards him lying on the floor with blood still oozing out of the palm of his hand as I went towards him. "Hey biggie!" I exclaimed while patting his cheek but he was half unconscious. His eyes were half open as he stared up at me. "I.. I'm.. I'm sorry... I'm.. I'm.. so... sorry.." he mumbled as a tear roll down his face. Jungkook choked on his breath while letting out a cough as I rubbed his back while laying him on my lap. "It's okay.. its alright! I'm here! Okay? Look at me.." I mumbled while trying to calm him but no avail. He couldn't stop coughing. "Do not close your eyes. Stay with me." I said as I rubbed his cold hands. "I think.. I should call your doctor.." I was about to grab my phone when he held onto my hand. "D-don't.. don't.. l-leave.."

"I'm not leaving. I'm just going to call doctor!" I exclaimed while grabbing his hand. "I.. I'm fine.." he said while breathing heavily. He couldn't breath. I figured as I watched how his chest heaved up and down in a irregular rhythm. Something was definitely wrong. "Fine. Count with me and breath please." I said as he nodded. "And do not close your eyes." I said while letting out a sigh. "Ok. Breath in..." I instructed him as he followed the instructions or atleast tried. His body wouldn't cooperate with him. "Breath out slowly..'' he exhaled softly and I continued doing the gesture for him to maintain the pace of respiration.

"Breath in.. hold it... breath out.."

Breath in..

Breath out..

Breath in..

Breath out..

And a while later he was breathing properly but he was still half unconscious. I looked around the room as he held my tightly and I realized the wound on his palm. "Can you g-get up?" I mumbled but didn't get any response. The state of his room is worse hence can't treat him here. I sighed as I decided to call the guards outside. "Yes ma'am-" the guy stopped as soon as he saw Jungkook lying in my lap mumbling the words we couldn't decipher. "Can you help me carry him in my room?" I asked as he nodded. Jungkook refused to let go of my hand as so held him until we were inside my room.

The guard laid him down on the bed while I stared at his messy state. If he was any better then he would've laughed or mocked. "If you open your mouth about his situation to anyone then I'll tell him myself to punish you. Got that? Not a word about his condition shall leave this room." I warned the guard who stared at me with wide eyes. Sure, I never threatened anyone. Infact I became way too frankly with everyone in this mansion. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to scare you like that.. just.. just.. please do not tell about this to anyone.." I said as he nodded with a smile on his face. "Don't worry ma'am. We are thankful that you're here for him. He pushes people away from him everytime but it's good that you are here." The guard bowed down before leaving as I stared at his retreating back.

Shaking my head i went towards the drawers and pulled out the first aid box. I knelt down as I stared at his blood stained hand. Sighing softly I dabbed the cotton in antiseptic liquid before cleaning his blood with it. Jungkook let out a whimper as I nibbled on my lower lip. It was hard to see him breaking. The guy who seemed to be do tough around everyone was actually a wounded person. I figured there was something deeply scarred in him. Finally wrapping the bandage around his hand I closed the first aid box and was about to leave when he held my hand. "T-the snow.. cold.." I looked over my window at his words. The curtains are open and it's snowing still. "I'll close the curtains." I said before closing the curtains and then I proceeded to remove his shoes before covering him up with a comforter.

The comforter didn't seem to work because he was shivering and no, it wasn't because of cold. The frown on his face was deep. His eyes were closed, he was sweating and once again munching incoherent words. "Jungkook.." I mumbled as I placed my hand over his forehead. The temperature was normal and that was a relief. "Please stay... d-don't leave.." he muttered with half opened eyes as I stared at him without blinking. "You.. you want me to stay?" He nodded as I let out a nod. "Here." He motioned towards the bed while holding my hand still in his grip. "Please..." he whispered as I shut my eyes.

One night won't hurt.

I sat beside him on the bed and before I could do something Jungkook moved closer as his head rest on my lap. For a moment, I froze and felt my heart racing but at that time I couldn't focus on anything but him. He needed me. He wanted me to be close so I will. My fingers made their way in his hairs as I softly played with his locks. "Please stay calm.." I mumbled. "I hate Christmas.." my movements halted at his confession. "T-they.. left me.. my.. my parents.. they died on the d-day of Christmas e-eve.." I didn't say anything and let him speak. "My.. my whole family.. d-died... they killed.. them.." I can feel his tears as he continued to tell me the story. A story of his life.

JUNGKOOK'S POV ::
(When he was 8yr old.)

Its a Christmas eve! The snow is falling down slowly and its cold but the heater in our house works just fine. I'm staring at the bonfire when I feel something hitting me at the back of my head as I turn around and see the evil. "Yaah! What do you want?" I snarled at the girl who giggled. "Your attention please?" Somi, my 5yr old sister said while crossing her arms. I shook my head as I got up from the floor and went towards her. "What do you wanna play?" I asked as she thought for a while. "Let's build a snowman!" She chirped. "It's snowing baby, you can't go out." Mom stated as she walked towards us while holding the tray in her hands. "Mumma made cookies for her kookie!" She chirped as I smiled widely. "Ahh what about somi?" Somi snarled with a pout. Mom chuckled while ruffling her hair. "Hot chocolate for Mumma's princess!" Mom exclaimed as a wide smile spread across Somi's lips.

"Dad's home!" We both heard our father as we ran towards the main door. "Careful!" Mom exclaimed from behind but we already crashed in our father's arms who held us both securely. Uncle guard was holding a huge box of cake in his hands. "Merry Christmas dad!" I exclaimed to my fathe who smiled and pecked my forehead. "Merry Christmas champ!" He replied. Mother joined us soon as dad wrapped his arm around her and softly kissed her cheek while greeting her. I shut Somi's eyes and she did same with mine. "Let's go and grab dinner! Santa will be coming soon." Mom exclaimed as she picked up somi and went inside while I and dad followed behind.

Me and somi were sitting in front of the huge Christmas tree while counting our presents. Dad said we'll receive more presents tonight when Santa comes so we were excited to sleep early tonight. "Look its my favorite doll!" Somi exclaimed as I nodded. "I'm gonna go and help mom." I said while standing up and walking towards the kitchen. When I reached kitchen dad stepped away from mom and looked elsewhere while mom let out a cough. "What happened?" I asked as mom smiled at me. Her cheeks were red. Maybe because of winter. I stared at my parents who were behaving weird but in a good way. "What are you doing here, kookie?" Mom asked as I walked towards her.

"I'm here to help you." I said as she chuckled. "How considerate of you but mom do not need help, baby. She'll manage." I sighed while shaking my head. "You would've been fine if you let the maids stay." I said as I remembered how she gave not a one day but four days off to all of the servants and maids. We have lots of them and guards too. "You shouldn't say that. Its a Christmas! A holiday for everyone. People deserves to spend this special day with their family. They are supposed to celebrate together." She said as I nodded. "Fine. Let me help you then." I said and suddenly heard my father let out a chuckle. "Are you sure you want to help your mom?" He asked while picking me up. "What's wrong with that?" I asked. He pinched my nose before replying. "Isnt it all a girl's job to do work in kitchen. Why would you do that? Aren't you a man?" Dad said as looked at him with confusion.

He is telling me the same thing that I've told him once. "Why would I do that? Work do not comes with a gender. We are all equally humans and I must help my mom as a good son." I said as they both chuckled. "Really?" Mom asked as I nodded. "You should help mom too. A gentleman should always help his wife." I said and both of them chuckled again. "Hey! I do help your mom." Dad said. "That's like my baby. He is a proper gentleman, Jeon." Mom said. "Fine but I help your mom in a way no one can!" Dad exclaimed as mom hit him while glaring at him. "Ok, love but why don't you go out and play with your sister until me and dad bring your dinner?" Mom asked as I shook my head. "Why? Don't you love me now?" I asked with a pout as she pinched my cheeks. "Aww mom always loves you, baby!" She exclaimed.

"I'm hungry, mum!" Somi yelled from dinning room as we all shook our head. She is a little princess of out house. Don't tell her this but I love her so much. Especially when she laughs while throwing her head back in pure happiness. All four of us were sitting on a dinning table. Ready to eat our dinner and cut the Christmas cake. Laughs, jokes and our voices filled the room. It was so beautiful. The house Decorations, the snow outside, warmth inside and my family. "Why don't we sing the Christmas Carol?" Somi asked while staring up at everyone. "Do you know how to sing them?" Mom asked. "Miss hara taught us!" She giggled. "Fine. We will sing it." Mom said and we all started singing.

We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year

Oh, bring us some figgy pudding
Oh, bring us some figgy pudding
Oh, bring us some figgy pudding
And bring it right here

Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year

"Guys! Wait!" I cut in as they all stopped and stared at me. "What happened, champ?" Dad asked as I twisted my lips. "I gotta pee." I said as they all burst into fits of laughter. Getting off the chair i made my way towards my bedroom. "Wash your hands properly!" Mom yelled from behind. "Yes!!" I yelled back. I can hear them singing the song again while I'm walking towards my room.

"We wish you a merry Christmas!"

"We wish you a merry Christmas!"

The voices are faint as I reach my room and go inside the bathroom. When I come back from the bathroom I don't hear the song. Instead I hear my uncle's voice as he is talking with my father.

"How can you do this to me?!" Dad yells. "Oh brother! Thats how we do business!" That's unlce Haechan's voice. "Just because you are the legal son of our father dearest does not mean that only you deserve everything!" Uncle growls as I made my way outside but halt when I hear shuffling voices. As if they are fighting. "Tonight, I'm here to finish you off and close your chapter Jaehyun." Uncle says as I finally stepped out from my room and hide in corridor. A gasp leaves my mouth as I stare at my mother who is held by two men on her knees and beside her is somi who is crying and wailing as a man is holding her against the gun. "Leave my family out of this." Dad says and he is also on his knees. "I waited my whole life just to see you like this. Helpless." Uncle looked at dad in a creepy way. He looked so scary. He was no more the man who always brought chocolates and toys for me and somi. He was someone else.

"I trusted you! You Goddammit traitor!! I trusted you!!" Dad yells as uncle laughs at him. "That was really naive of you, you know? Who can tell that you're a mafia leader after our father? The position should've been mine but just because I was a illegitimate son, he never recognized me huh!" Uncle hit dad as he fell down while groaning. "My mother loved you like her own son after your mother dearest left you despite the fact that you were the sign and proof that her husband had mistress. And what are you doing in return?" Dad asked while glaring at uncle. "And I'm always grateful of her but what looks like a big problem to me is you and your perfectionism!" Uncle Haechan exclaimed while letting out a sigh.

"You got the legacy. You are the legal kid. You get to be the leader. You get the respect.." then uncle Haechan turned towards my mother. "You get the perfect little wife for you.." dad growls in back as uncle touches mom's cheeks. "Leave her you bastard!" Dad exclaimed. "Not so soon, brother." Somi starts crying louder. "Baby.. calm down.. everything.. is fine my love..." mom tries to calm her but she keeps crying. "Do you wanna sleep first somi darling ?" Uncle asks her as dad yells out but fails to do anything. "I waited for this day for years. Where I'll see you helpless and begging for me to leave you. I know your family is your weakness." Uncle said with a smile. "Now watch how they die so I can have what I deserve." He said.

Somi wouldn't stop crying as uncle clicked his tongue and suddenly I heard the shots and then silence. I shivered as I saw my sister's body laying in her own blood. My mom screamed and so did my dad. "Sorry but she was disturbing." Uncle shrugged. "No! No! No! Baby! Somi! Wake up! B-baby.." mom sobbed louder and then more shots followed by silence. Another scream and my mom was laying in her blood mixing with Somi's. I wanted to cry, scream or run but I was frozen. I couldn't move. Not even a inch. "Well well well. How does it feels, brother?" Dad stopped doing anything. He was blankly staring at mom and somi. "Fine. I won't make it hard for you more than it already is." Uncle smiled as he glided his gun at dad's face. "I'll set you free."

Four shots. I heard them and my father who never lost, who was tough as rock, who was a fighter and my role model fell down. Uncle grimaced and left after looking around. My frozen feets moved on its own way. There was a smell of blood everywhere. I was walking in my family's pool of blood. I went towards mom first. Her eyes were opened but she wasn't breathing usual. "M-mom.." I muttered as I touched her cold cheek. She is always so warm but today she is so cold. "Y-you're cold.. c-cold.." I removed my jacket and placed it on her body. "It's warm now,right?" I said as I followed towards my sister. "S-somi.. I.. I brought.. this hair clip for you as a Christmas present.. look." I said as I pulled out a purple colored hair pin from my pocket. I placed it on her hair. Her brown colored hair were coated with her blood. I walked towards my dad and crouched down at him. "D-dad.." I muttered as I stared at his pale face.

"Well, well, well. Look who we have here!" I jolt up as I heard uncle's voice from behind. He smirked down at me as I glared at him. "Eyes just like your father huh! Fearless!" He mocked while grabbing my jaw. "I knew I forgot something so I came back. Were you playing hide and seek with uncle Haechan, Kookie?" He smiled. "I will kill you." I muttered. He gasped. "Such a crude word coming out a innocent mouth. Nah! Not acceptable!" He exclaimed as I felt something sharp near my stomach. "Can't leave the traces behind you know.. clean work." He said as I left out a scream while he dig the knife deeper inside me. He stabbed me.

I don't know what happened after that for several hours. I thought I died and it would've been better that way to be with my family but instead, I woke in a unfamiliar room. "Jungkook, son. You okay?" I blinked to clear my vision. Its all white in here. Mom knows I don't like bright colors. "Is it hurting?" I hear the voice until my vision clears and I finally get to see the man who has been asking me questions. "U-uncle k-kim.." I whispered as he smiled at me. "Oh my God! I thought I lost you too!" He exclaimed. I felt so drowsy and it hurts so much. It hurts everywhere. When I'm finally awake, Uncle Kim tells me that dad left him a text asking for help but he was late to see it and when he made it to our mansion everything was gone.

I was the only one who survived.

Kim Hyuk was the best friend of my dad and he saved me. Me, my dad's only possession and legacy. I got discharge from the hospital after a week and when I was able to walk on my feet, uncle Kim took me to the graveyard. I couldn't cry, my tears wouldn't come as I stared at the three tombstones in front of me. All of the uncle Kim's guards looked at me with pity but uncle Kim just had this expression on his face that I couldn't decipher. I was grateful for him to not look at me with pity. Dad always hated being pitied. I sighed as the cold breeze hit my cheeks and I licked my dried lips. I went towards somi first and placed her favorite chocolates for her then I went towards mom and placed her favorite red roses for her. I finally walked towards my dad and stared at the name engraved on his tombstone.

Jeon Jaehyun.

The mafia whom everyone feared, the man who lived and loved for his family. I knew for the fact that my father loved us all endlessly. "I know what you'd like me to do..." I whispered while looking down. "..and I'll do exactly that.." I fisted my hands while bowing down to him. "Shall we go home now?" Uncle Kim asked with a smile. Home? I have no one there. Is that even a home now? The remains of my family is still there and it will be nothing more then a haunted house. However uncle Kim told me that my father's property are all mine now but until I'm legal, uncle Kim will take care of everything. About uncle Haechan, he is missing.

I confusingly stared at the building as the car stopped. This is not my house. "You'll live with us kookie!" Uncle Kim smiled but I couldn't even smile. The house is as big as ours. Even the environment here is same except there are two boys playing in the yard. "This is my elder son, Seokjin." The boy nodded in my direction. "And this is namjoon." The other one smiled with his dimples as I stared at him blankly. Suddenly we heard someone's squealing as uncle Kim shook his head and the boys giggled. Turning around I saw the guy same age as me approaching us on a skateboard. "Heyyyyyy dadddddddd!" He yelled out while showing his boxy smile and finally the other two boys stopped him. "And this is my youngest, Taehyung!" Uncle Kim patted his shoulder as he yelped. "This one is brat but I'd love if you two become friends!" Uncle Kim said. "Who is he dad? He is cute!" Taehyung exclaimed as I looked away. "This is Jungkook. Uncle Jeon's only son and he'll be living with us
