340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssgF0lNiqZ
“Good morning!” said the guy with a smile while still cooking a pancake for the kids.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2BYFC9rrG
“Good morning, hyung, did you wake up early for this?” he greets while still looking at all the prepared foods on the table.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNeEwQBKrd
“It’s the first day of school today. So, everybody needs their energy for the day especially the kids.” he said like it’s an obvious thing in the world.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMd0oS1cay
“Uh-huh, but hyung, I think it’s too much for breakfast, with all this food, it’s like a feast right now.” he said while gesturing in all the foods in the table.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBE0Qi0Dkn
“There’s not too much in here, Nathan. Cause I want to pack a meal for the kids and for you as well. You always come to work at early in the morning and come home late at night. Don’t think I don’t know that, hmmm.” he said casually while setting a set for lunch boxes to fill it with the foods he prepares.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEUVPJPnr0
“Oh, I thought you were all sleeping then.” he said sheepishly.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhrt1DwgK2
“It’s okay, but I’m worried for your health. I don’t want you to get sick from overworking yourself to the ground.” he slightly reprimand him.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhSOaMXWg5
“I know hyung, it’s just... lately, our schedule has been hectic. But this week is just fine. So, you don’t have to worry, hyung.” he assured his older brother with his signature dimpled smile.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnMLg5rdrn
“Good morning, hyungs!” said by a cheerful guy who is just coming down the stairs. Although. they mess his hair, it doesn’t dampen his mood in the slightest. And when he sees the food, he literally scream.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWj8Ga8sJR
Wow! So many foods, what’s the occasion? Wow, my favorite bacon and eggs. I love you, hyung!" and he gives his hyung an enormous bear hug. And they laugh at his antics.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNVuynAkDE
“Justin hyung, you never ceased to amaze me of your high energy, especially in the morning.” said Nathan like it was some kind of puzzle in his own mind.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaBrfZhOF8
“I am Justin.” he said while beaming with a heart shape smile.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcA2tRkmJl
“What’s with the noise early in the morning?” said a grumpy guy who just woken up from a ruckus that is his younger brother doing.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqSKu4tyWX
“Oh, good morning, hyung. Stop being grumpy early in the morning. You will get early wrinkles if you keep on doing that you know.” he teased his hyung which he just got an eye roll and a wave like saying, ya, ya, whatever look.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyt753iJUg
Before the bickering could escalate more, someone is just coming down the stairs.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeChXUhRIlI
“Justin hyung, stop teasing Simon hyung early in the morning. You know he hates it when someone disturb his beauty sleep.” he said with a wink and a laugh when he got an angry glare from the said older brother.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQPzYLpIlr
“What I mean is don’t disturb hyung because if he gets angry then someone who is much grumpy in the morning would wake up as well.” he said with a wicked smirk on his face.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDniPpiCfj
Right on cue, someone is just coming down the stairs with a messy hair and disheveled appearance who looks like ready to murder someone who just woke him up from his much needed sleep.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WhX7F8mwS
“Who said who is grumpy early in the morning?” he said with an intimidating pout he could muster but before either can answer him.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9BVfOECz2
They heard a soft paddle of a little feet coming down the stairs.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuUjl11jCw
They all looked at each other and the boy is still in the stairs quickly comes back just in time to catch the baby taking a step down the stairs before he falls and hurt himself.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOm2evotRc
They were all shocked and holding their breath.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48wvTduidR
“Jasper! Tristan! Are you all right?” they all but shout in shock when they heard a loud thud and they all race to see if it hurt them.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn04B7mE8bd
“Were fine hyungs!” he would shout while still holding his baby brother.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDytXxogoD
“You scared me, kid, never do that again.” he whispers to his baby brother. He had never been scared before like that.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye5G0BOIiq
The said baby just stare at him, so he tickles his baby brothers tummy to make him laugh.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnGZMj20AC
While the others, they stop dead in their tracks when they saw that both their brothers are on the floor.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpR6q8JmAF
Jasper is just tickling their baby brother like they were the only people in the world.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7V9rMGwv5
"Jasper, what are you doing on the floor? We thought something happen when we heard a loud thud, but look at you. I thought the baby fell from the stairs." said the guy who is a bit paler than usual when he heard the thud sound.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSWFjRP0YI
“I’m sorry, Russell hyung. But yes, the baby almost fell.” he said bluntly but quickly explained, “But I catch him before he even set his foot down the stairs.” he reassured his older brothers when he saw their horrified looks.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVLyTTizjn
After that, Russell quickly took the baby from Jasper and taking him downstairs. Reassuring himself that the baby is in fact all right.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjienyzSifo
Jack is older than Jasper but smaller than him, helped him to his feet and asking, “Are you alright, though? Good thing you catch him, first. You’re a good kid, Jasper.” he reassured his younger brother.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0UXY7UPKm
“Yeah, yeah, if it’s not you, Jasper. We wouldn’t know what would happen to him.” said Justin while he smiles and ruffle his hair to make him smile.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8zogFbi2i
Jasper just swats Justin's hand and made a pout, but he smiles then.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHV7QpIeUG
“Okay, enough of the drama. Come down the stairs. We need to get back to work.” said Simon, dismissing the incident that happens.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIinY5WHD7
When they were all getting down the stairs, Simon stops Nathan.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafcixTxQWK
“Nathan, can we talk?” Simon said like it’s business. So, Justin, Jasper and Jackson just come down first.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSNqK971iH
“What is it, hyung?” he asked, ready to give what he can give.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqp154k3nt
“I think we need some protective gear in the house especially now that Tristan is getting older. Just look what happens earlier.” Simon said with a serious look and a frown on his face.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLiL06IaGA
“I’m thinking the same thing, hyung. Let’s tell it to Russell hyung, then.” he said while thinking all the materials and protective gear that we will need them.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJes2J4ZZk
“Okay.” and they both come down the stairs to the dining area.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntDLeXLHSP
When they are all sitting in their own seats. Russell, as the head of the table and Nathan on opposite of him. While Jasper and Jack are sitting with each other on the right side of Russell and the baby in his high chair next on the left side of Russell. Simon is sitting across from Jack while Justin is sitting beside him. They silently pray before eating.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvDqMFWjAy
All was silent except for the casual sound of the utensil clanging.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVwj3pGlGS
Each has their own thoughts of what had happened earlier.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsdNnizBpH
Until they heard a doorbell. They all look at each other.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY5V1R7gzP
“Do we have a visitor?” Jasper asked. Nobody answer him except,
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJXQXvzP66
“I’ll go get the door then.” Jack stood up to take up the door.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGH72hvN6x
At the door, Jack cautiously opens the door to see the person.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrFRwgbUEv
“How may I help you, Sir?” he asked the man in a suit.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZSAQ6LzLS
“Is this the house of Mr. Simon Kim?” asked the guy slightly peeking out through the door.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScAkwNXKka
“Yes. Who are you? And what do you need from my hyung?” he asked with a curiousity.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL70HdEWhlu
“We have some business to talk about. I am his colleague at the office.” he said with a confident smile.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs4YChgACU
“Ah, okay. Wait, I’m going to get him. Come on in then.” he smiled and invited the said guy.

“Can you stay here for a while?” he asked with a polite smile and the guy just smile back at him and taking a seat in the living's sofa room waiting for Simon.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgGxdnCOf4
“Ah, before I forgot. I’m Jackson, one of the younger brothers of Simon hyung and you are?” he suddenly asked the guy.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw980TsNAg
“Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t properly introduced myself, I am Benjamin Park, you can call me Ben or Benny.” he extends his hand on Jackson for a shakehand.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBcbbxT2VY
“Oh, it’s nice to meet you, Benny hyung? If I’m not mistaken, you’re the same age as Simon hyung or you’re younger than him because you look younger.” he said it with genuine smile. And he goes back to the dining room where everyone just having their breakfast while talking about their task of the day.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlhYrXAlPo
“Simon hyung, there’s someone at the living room waiting for you. He said that he had some business with you.” he said while going back for his seat.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDkXPltACB
“Who is it?” he asked, confused as to whom he might have business with at this moment.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7FiBvUEd1
“Oh, it’s Benny hyung, he said, he is your office colleague. I leave him in the living room.” after he said that, Simon’s expression became gravely serious but then it quickly vanish and replace with a gratitude smile. Nobody notice the brief changes of Simon’s expression.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ek3DQc9o5
“Oh, yes, he is. Excuse me for a while.” he excuses himself and goes to the living room where Benny is waiting.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguPnJXpZiM
“Hyung, do you know him?” Jackson asks his older brothers.

“I’ve heard him from Simon hyung and I saw him a few times with their other office colleagues.” Nathan answer him.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubTApy0W5D
“Ah, I think Benny hyung is a friendly person.” Jackson absentmindedly commented while eating his slice of pancakes.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF7z34ovnp
“I bet he is, cause we all know that Simon hyung is a scary person.” Justin said while laughing at his own jokes.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4ljEEHvHb
“If hyung heard you, you’re so dead.” Jackson said in a big voice and they all laugh.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhVknzuRSG
“So, hyung, who’s going to watch my sports event later?” Jasper asked his older brothers.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0XkwbZPJE
“We’re going to be there, Jasper. How can we ever miss out on our golden boy, hmmm? 4pm, right?” Justin enthusiastically answered him, and Jasper just beams at them. Nathan ruffled Jasper’s hair with a smile on his face.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2q2pvMEq0
While Russell is feeding the baby with a mashed potato.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvewiE12Ev0
While Simon is silently conversing with Ben. From the outside point of view, they seem to be talking about something and nothing seems out of ordinary, not until Ben present a folder to Simon containing the file of a case that Simon is investigating from a long time ago since he start working as a Detective.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuXNTWHaJ5
After Simon read the file, each page he turns his demeanor goes darker and colder. His knuckles are turning white when he stops at a particular page of the file containing some gruesome pictures attached to the file.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG7E69kA9i
He stops at a particular picture of a man lying in the pool of his own blood on the floor. A bullet wound on his forehead and his heart. A fatal wound that potentially killed the man lying on the floor. A wound that showed the motive of the killer. A wound that would ensure the death of the victim.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RrYWdqOmR
In the middle of the file is another picture of a woman in her nightgown. Just like the guy, she was lying in the pool of her own blood in their own quarters. But the wound inflicted to the woman is gruesome. Upon investigation of the wound, she seems to fight her assailant. The analysis states that there was a struggle between the victim and the killer.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF756HEMgi8
The woman died from the fatal stab wound to the heart for 5 times. The total stab wound in different parts of her body is 50 stabs, some are shallow and some are fatally deep. There are some laceration, scratches and a sign of strangulation based on the handprint that can be seen on her neck and some rope burns showing that the killer tried to strangle the victim with a cord using the cord of the lampshades on the side table of the bedroom.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhofTjX3JUL
And at the bottom of the file is another picture of a baby barely alive. Like the parents, the baby is lying in a pool of blood. The injury sustained of the baby is a broken rib and a punctured lungs from the fall. Upon investigation, the killer wanted to take the baby, but the mother of the baby took the baby and run to their bedroom. She almost made it to their room and locked the door, but the assailant slammed her at the door. He throws her away with the baby in her arms from the force.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF8OZdn0DK
She tried to keep her distance away from the assailant, but she has nowhere to go. She tried to shield the baby with her body from the assailant that’s towering over them. The assailant tried to take away the baby from her. So, she fights back and kick him with all her might and run from the door. But the assailant recovers and goes after her.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93pVYSXXMQ
On the way down the stairs, she felt someone have grabbed her hair with such force, so she stumbled and drop the baby on the stairs. She watches as her baby fell on the stairs. She tried to go after her baby, but the assailant pulled her back into the room and lock the door.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk0txtZtfv
From that moment on, the assailant took out his knife and taunting the poor woman. The assailant still holding her hair and he caressed the knife along her beautiful face, whispering something only the woman can hear. After that, the woman struggled more. She elbowed him and the assailant got winded off so she took her chance to escape but the door is locked so she fumbled upon it.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa0ONRsTYz
But the assailant recovered from it, so he plunged the knife to her back. She gasped, but still she punch him. She still trying for the door, but the assailant plunged the knife again. So, she head-butt him which cause them to fall down. She drop on top of him but so she slap and punch him repeatedly. They both struggled on the floor.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxnkIawJxr
The assailant tries to push her away from him. He grab her head and slammed it on the floor twice until she almost lost consciousness. When she was subdued, the assailant get up from the floor and took the woman and lay her on the bed.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO9KYcOfN7
He took out some rope on his bag and tie both her feet and both arms. Then he went out and took the baby on the floor.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdveyTRPOI
He went back to the room where the unconscious woman is tied up to. He then put the baby down in the bed beside the woman.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8Ws9v09xT
He went on the other side of the woman to watch her and caressing her face.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoPAa27vO0
The woman groan and trying to open her heavy-lidded eyes only to see the assailant caressing her face.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXeGy6f71l
She tried to push him away, only to notice that it has tied her hands up.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ4t01fAkG
But still she tried to put a distance with him when she bump on something besides.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91LBqzGcxm
That’s the only time she notices her baby beside him.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc1oKRc7l7
All she sees is his pale face, and some dried blood on his head and face.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfX18wvQFM
She cried for her baby and tried to untie her hand.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbTCQ3tCtY
She wanted to take her baby away from this horrible nightmare.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIFldR6oNx
She prayed that whatever happens to her, she will do everything in her power to save her baby.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr7QpVk4qf
So, she tried to hug her baby with the best that she can to save her baby.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum2rFqokBA
And that is all the last thought she had before she finally closes her eyes.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iFryVTOfA
She whispered in her last breath, “No matter what happens, I love you, my baby boy.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciB0kc7QKI
And the next thing that happened is the gruesome death of the woman.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAvtAkx1GJ
That is the last video recording of the cctv in the baby’s room.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WXzVLQnLo
We have not yet identified the killer through the cctv footage.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBmbkDYGgQ
But there is a person of interest based on the stature of the killer in the cctv recording.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7xQaTEq3U
The case is now under the archive file of cold case because of the lack of the evidence.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4N904e2vV
“Are you all right?” Benny asks Simon after he saw how hard he held on to the file he had been reading.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mnYDD6GrG
“I know it’s horrible and I don’t know how hard does it feel but I am here to help you. We are here to help you, Simon.” and he put his hand on Simon’s shoulder for comfort.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKdd9O8Q94
“Thanks, Benny.” that’s all he can say right now.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZfped7JyN
“Call me if you need anything.” Benny bid him goodbye. After that just sat there staring into nothing.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxUsZMNtmH
He snapped out from his stupor when he heard some breaking in the dining area where his siblings are eating their breakfast.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoB7HOiMsa
He came running, hearts in his throat, thinking of the worst-case scenario, fearing for his nightmare to come true.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoJXIBHnnt
But all is well, except for the broken glass that Nathan accidentally hit.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSfJGbFmci
They all look up to him when he came running, like there was someone who wanted to kill him.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuAlmUexcd
“What’s gotten into you, hyung? Looks like you’ve seen a ghost back there.” Justin asked him with a laugh.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1uBAUpKvq
It took him a second before his words sink in. And he glares at Justin with his iconic glare.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdWDKY3JDw
And they all laugh at his own expense. And he gave a sigh of relief he doesn’t realize his holding.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzRKPGgTtP
He smiled a bit, thankful that his family is safe, albeit with all the turmoil that running through his mind in that moment.
