Love and hate.
Both of the emotions are evoked from your heart,
Both are intense and limitless,
But the only difference is,
Love can you make you sacrifice yourself and hate can make you sacrifice others.

Mrs Min's pov

Aish! This boy, I'm sure he is still sleeping. I told him to sleep early as he seemed tired yesterday night, why can't he listen to me once?!

I was making my way towards Jungkook's room while roaming my eyes all around the place but my jaw clenched watching his photo frames on the walls. Who's? None other than my so-called stepson! Thinking about him gets me immersed in so many emotions, hatred, jealousy and anger.

I tried so hard but still, I can't get rid of him completely. He had left this mansion long ago but nothing changed, his room is the same way he left it, his clothes, his photo frames each and everything.

This oldie is easy to manipulate but also an emotional fool. He didn't stop his son while he left the mansion but did keep all his belongings. But now, it's time to break everything in a way no one ever imagined. Oh my, I feel bad for Yoongi, he will know the biggest and most mournful secret of his life.

I reached Jungkook's door and knocked on the door but no response. As expected he is still sleeping. I twisted the doorknob and entered inside. His bed was empty but soon enough I heard water gush from the bathroom. So he is already up. I was about to leave but my eyes caught a glimpse of his phone which flashed a girl's photo?! I stepped forward and picked up his phone and the thing I saw made my blood boil.

It had that cheap orphan IU's picture. I fvcking don't know why my son is a numbskull while choosing people. First, he chose Yoongi and till now he clings to him and now this IU. No way I'll let him choose this girl as his companion. Seems like once I get rid of Yoongi it will be you, my IU darling.

I was thinking of a way to get rid of these worthless people in my life when I heard the click sound which means Jungkook is coming out. I threw the phone on the bed and took a few steps away from it. He came out all dressed up as if going to visit someone. But why? It's the weekend and I always witness him roaming around in his baggy clothes.

He was presiding towards the dressing table but stopped when his eyes fell on me. He gave me a cute morning smile and continued getting prepared for the day.

"Good morning eomma." He wished me.
"Good morning kookie. Seems like you are going somewhere?!" I spoke, listening to which he paused but went on with his work again.
"Uh, yes, I'm going out for some important thing." He spoke but avoided my gaze which means...not again!
"Okay eomma, I'll be taking my leave. I'll come back before lunchtime." He spoke giving me a side hug and rushed towards the door. I have to stop him!

"Are you going to meet Yoongi?" I asked and there is no need to turn around he would have already stopped on his track.
"Yes." The only thing he spoke but nervousness was evident in his smooth voice.
"But today is the weekend so enjoy your day and meet him on some other day." I finally turned around and saw him nibbling his lower lip which means he is thinking of a reason to make me let him go. Tsk! Who can know you better than me, my son?

"Eomma, you know right how much of a bookworm I am so I thought of preparing for my upcoming classes already." He spoke rubbing his back.
"Is Yoongi a teacher?!" My voice came out dry, a bit harsh which made his smile fade.
"I mean he isn't a teacher to help you also he studied different subjects from yours," I spoke to conceal my previous comment.
"I know eomma but noona can help me since she studied the same subjects as mine and right now she is at hyung's place." He completed and breathed out finally making a good excuse but how dare he?! How dare he lie to me, his mother. Not a problem, let's play along.

"Aww...my hard-working son! But Yn might be tired too let her relax for now." I spoke with a sweet smile but grinned internally watching his tensed face. He sighed heavily.
"I want to meet hyung too." He spoke more like a whisper.
"But-" he cut me off. "Eomma please, even yesterday you didn't let me spend some time with hyung, not again." He spoke, what? he is disobeying me, for whom? That bloody step-brother of his. That's it, I lost my cool!

"Kookie, I can never be harsh with you so I'm telling you calmly, stop visiting your hyung. Make a healthy distance with him." Listening to my words he fisted his palm, is he angry now? But soon enough he took a deep breath.
"Don't you see hyung as your son?" His question made me pale. I was lost for words for a while but soon I composed myself.
"It's not like that son. Mr Min has forbidden you to meet him and I don't want Mr Min to know about this and despise you too." He was looking in my direction without speaking and I know what to do next.

"Also.." I paused and sat on the bed while he concentrated on my words, curious to know what I will speak." He lost his mother at a younger age but I tried my best to give him my motherly love. But what he did?! left all of us behind. Except for your father, everyone else tried to stop him. Did he stop? No! I'm hurt by the things he did still, I want good for him and I'm sure he wants us to stay away from him and that's why I don't want you to bother him. We both want the best for him. Even if it means staying away from him. Right?" I spoke trying to manipulate him. I always do this but today I sympathised with myself and portrayed Yoongi as an ignorant and selfish son.

He sighed and knelt in front of me and held my hands. "I know eomma, you are upset with hyung but what about him? We both know Appa became more cold and harsh towards hyung that's why he left. It's not his fault." My jaw clenched I can't pretend anymore.

"Eomma, I already tried convincing everyone years ago, but no one wants to resolve it so I left the hope of a complete family long ago. But at least don't stop me, though he is my stepbrother I always look at him as my brother and I love him so much. Please stop interfering between us as I don't interfere when it comes to something between you, Appa and hyung." I want to kick him out of the room or else I will end up slapping him in the face and I don't want to hit my son because of that worthless Yoongi.
"Think about what I said." Concluding his words he left the room and didn't even bid me goodbye. Better! Because he would have witnessed his evil eomma.

"Argh.." I screamed out loud in frustration and got up throwing all the things around me.
Why? Just why? After Yoongi left this mansion I made sure no one from this house met him but my son..Ahh! I don't know what spell he did on Jungkook. During childhood, I let them be together since I wanted Mr Min to be assured about marrying me was a wise and good decision. I thought after they grow up, I can manipulate Jungkook and get them separated.
But how wrong I was! Their bond got stronger. I have to get a hold of the situation before everyone goes off my hands. I took deep breaths and shortly I smirked as a thought crossed my mind.

"Oh my, how did I forget Mr Min asked me to call my dear Yoongi and I'll make sure to do my job perfectly."

Yn was playing with the spoon and the food lay untouched in front of her. How could she eat when her mind is messed up. As soon as she got up in the morning, the first thing she noticed was a note on the nightstand. With a message saying...

I'm sorry angel, but I got some important work to do so I'm leaving early morning. And don't worry, my leg is fine now. I have already prepared your breakfast, don't you dare skip your meal and stay at home I'll come back and take you shopping.
-Your Gummy bear.

Yn sighed and got up picking up the unfinished food. Though Yoongi warned her to eat the food how is that possible? when she interpreted that Yoongi wouldn't have eaten his breakfast too. She kept the food in the refrigerator. Her eyes fell on the juice glass kept on the table. She sighed and walked towards it. As soon as she was nearer to the table her feet got stuck in the rug she was about to fall but she crashed both of her palms on the table and straightened herself. But due to a sudden moment, the glass on the table shook and the juice splattered on Yn's white crop top, thankfully the glass didn't break.
"What the hell!' Yn sighed been frustrated and lazily went towards Yoongi's room and entered the bathroom.

After cleaning herself she opened the bathroom waste bin to throw off the used tissue paper. But before she could drop it down she saw those glass pieces which were scattered yesterday in the bathroom causing an injury to Yoongi.
Soon she suspected something and narrowed her eyes and bend down towards the bin.

"All the glass shards are tiny, then.." she got confused that if all the glass pieces were tiny how come Yoongi got long cuts. If he would have landed on these glass pieces it should be a deeper hole like structure. Soon her eyes widened considering the possibility.
"The injury seems like-" she couldn't believe her own words so she stood straight and rushed out of the bathroom and started scanning the room.

"Where is that pyjama?" Yn was looking for the bloody pyjama that Yoongi wore during the incident. "I do remember he changed it at the midnight." Yn massaged her forehead remembering the time when at midnight Yoongi detached himself from her which caused her to wake up and she saw Yoongi struggling to change his pants. She wanted to help him but Yoongi denied it and managed somehow. But she doesn't remember where Yoongi threw them.

She went towards the bed and looked in all directions, in case he threw it beside him being tired after changing but she couldn't find anything. Later she opened the waste bin and saw that bloodstained pyjama.

She picked it up scanning thoroughly. It had bloodstains on the bottom. She held it closer and the thing she saw messed up her mind even more. The ripped part of the pyjama wasn't looking like something penetrated it causing a tore but there were a lot of threads coming out of the ripped places as if someone did it purposely.

Her mind couldn't subsist at a particular thing. What is all this? Wasn't the thing said to her true. If not, then why? Is something hidden from her? The only thing she could conclude with her current condition was.."I will make sure to get all my answers bear."

She was determined to know the actual thing hidden from her. Not because she wants to know everything but because she cares for Yoongi and can't let him suffer alone.

But she is unaware of the trouble coming her way. The biggest nightmare of her life which she overcame but never forgot.

*****

Busan central mental asylum...

A middle-aged man in a white cloak was yelling at his juniors. Why? Because of their carelessness, a newly admitted patient escaped.
"Do you even know the consequences of the stupidity you all did?" Hearing his growl everyone looked down and stood in fear of getting suspended.

But one of them gulped and spoke in a low voice."Sir, she put on an act of being sick and requested to see a doctor. The attendee looking after her asked me to help her but when we went inside, the scene in front of us was dreadful. One of the attendees was lying dead on the floor with his throat being slithered and that madwoman was holding a knife in her hand. She threatened us that if we come nearer to her she will kill us too. Sir, she wasn't just mentally unstable but also a psycho. She even injured everyone who tried to stop her while escaping." The middle-aged man sighed and sat down on his chair. He massaged his forehead feeling helpless because if the hospital authority gets to know about this, then the people in charge will face a crisis. Also, he couldn't even imagine the destruction that psycho patient can cause.

"Go check all the CCTV footage, do anything you can but I want to see her again locked up inside the asylum." That was the only thing he could say.
