“Good morning!” said the guy with a smile while still cooking a pancake for the kids.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM9xTQExrP
“Good morning, hyung, did you wake up early for this?” he greets while still looking at all the prepared foods on the table.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3hCkGGVSj
“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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2Ctn9aB42
“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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlvdWcf2gH
“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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLDPXCnAMG
“Oh, I thought you were all sleeping then.” he said sheepishly.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ8UfPEEcD
“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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphCLGM0iBh
“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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag9VV1bcoU
“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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAIMCEtCJf
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.

“I am Justin.” he said while beaming with a heart shape smile.

“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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFslM6fYUMo
“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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNtGuGlsk7
Before the bickering could escalate more, someone is just coming down the stairs.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4n03PxJjh
“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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQGJHpWGZo
“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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpJ0yGnJSt
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cOqwA2ZxA
“Who said who is grumpy early in the morning?” he said with an intimidating pout he could muster but before either can answer him.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsaKg3sjtn
They heard a soft paddle of a little feet coming down the stairs.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTkmgbuwx6
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbIY5N2zNB
They were all shocked and holding their breath.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GbM401sdc
“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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWjizQ3edS
“Were fine hyungs!” he would shout while still holding his baby brother.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxTgTkzBz2
“You scared me, kid, never do that again.” he whispers to his baby brother. He had never been scared before like that.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNHUHzQxCk
The said baby just stare at him, so he tickles his baby brothers tummy to make him laugh.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelpVpqpxQk
While the others, they stop dead in their tracks when they saw that both their brothers are on the floor.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zjICCP92x
Jasper is just tickling their baby brother like they were the only people in the world.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kFcZ57eab
"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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PDJd8NS9d
“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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdtU1ChZAS
After that, Russell quickly took the baby from Jasper and taking him downstairs. Reassuring himself that the baby is in fact all right.

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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi38NMH4HF
“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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwAgX0HPdA
Jasper just swats Justin's hand and made a pout, but he smiles then.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2EvSF2ykM
“Okay, enough of the drama. Come down the stairs. We need to get back to work.” said Simon, dismissing the incident that happens.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHYq4Cu0Fm
When they were all getting down the stairs, Simon stops Nathan.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHUwrz1gee
“Nathan, can we talk?” Simon said like it’s business. So, Justin, Jasper and Jackson just come down first.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q4MGIJvqs
“What is it, hyung?” he asked, ready to give what he can give.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7hr6datqZ
“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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk0CF16UWc
“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.

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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPadtlhU20B
All was silent except for the casual sound of the utensil clanging.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAQUFIUuy6
Each has their own thoughts of what had happened earlier.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxooVVGHPpN
Until they heard a doorbell. They all look at each other.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9fGfT1i4m
“Do we have a visitor?” Jasper asked. Nobody answer him except,

At the door, Jack cautiously opens the door to see the person.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSHfJbMoZG
“How may I help you, Sir?” he asked the man in a suit.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp79SJ2dLm
“Is this the house of Mr. Simon Kim?” asked the guy slightly peeking out through the door.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jgyAvzbzE
“Yes. Who are you? And what do you need from my hyung?” he asked with a curiousity.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1odmomyqJ

“Ah, before I forgot. I’m Jackson, one of the younger brothers of Simon hyung and you are?” he suddenly asked the guy.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwwAhlGGkO
“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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakwFiS38Zx
“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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljrDnj7zC8
“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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMyW8g8xrF
“Who is it?” he asked, confused as to whom he might have business with at this moment.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWavcajy7ot
“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.

“Oh, yes, he is. Excuse me for a while.” he excuses himself and goes to the living room where Benny is waiting.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6YvZb76NZ

“I bet he is, cause we all know that Simon hyung is a scary person.” Justin said while laughing at his own jokes.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDyhIBkfSu
“If hyung heard you, you’re so dead.” Jackson said in a big voice and they all laugh.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIJ3p1U4Po
“So, hyung, who’s going to watch my sports event later?” Jasper asked his older brothers.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcskDJXyQDD
“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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaLY3h0KHP
While Russell is feeding the baby with a mashed potato.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdtJDZxvyV
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r3uentjGu
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcfayHo3BC
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbNlhSuLoq
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsAeteBBEg
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72BgOGrKCS
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgBewPKD4n
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmYbCXLyTD
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwncZVDtFfJ
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl76uwh0deA
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUlITFSEEq
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOMyBRw69q
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1r99koLHE
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyip6jyTo7
He went on the other side of the woman to watch her and caressing her face.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC4OIMgX6h
The woman groan and trying to open her heavy-lidded eyes only to see the assailant caressing her face.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjIYBg3Bq6
She tried to push him away, only to notice that it has tied her hands up.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ227Y3c9sA4
But still she tried to put a distance with him when she bump on something besides.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK89oh2Qwu
That’s the only time she notices her baby beside him.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuRUo4VzzP
All she sees is his pale face, and some dried blood on his head and face.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov8LVDV6LX
She cried for her baby and tried to untie her hand.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrRckNMi48
She wanted to take her baby away from this horrible nightmare.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGx79xFbe2
She prayed that whatever happens to her, she will do everything in her power to save her baby.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiMbLXi8rS
So, she tried to hug her baby with the best that she can to save her baby.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa7XjXuEue
And that is all the last thought she had before she finally closes her eyes.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRDiVBRcDd
She whispered in her last breath, “No matter what happens, I love you, my baby boy.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9x18XxfcH
And the next thing that happened is the gruesome death of the woman.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23XOsS4uG0
That is the last video recording of the cctv in the baby’s room.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhhi6VYsDD
We have not yet identified the killer through the cctv footage.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ4u0xNpLZ
But there is a person of interest based on the stature of the killer in the cctv recording.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKw3ctb6CH
The case is now under the archive file of cold case because of the lack of the evidence.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjHYnVu1sV
“Are you all right?” Benny asks Simon after he saw how hard he held on to the file he had been reading.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIb5skawYD
“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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLX0OsaXle
“Thanks, Benny.” that’s all he can say right now.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ubOZb1Rvj
“Call me if you need anything.” Benny bid him goodbye. After that just sat there staring into nothing.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm9nNCZ2yE
He snapped out from his stupor when he heard some breaking in the dining area where his siblings are eating their breakfast.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq6YOCLZCP
He came running, hearts in his throat, thinking of the worst-case scenario, fearing for his nightmare to come true.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxtRtR80xP
But all is well, except for the broken glass that Nathan accidentally hit.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOzwUMfQsQ
They all look up to him when he came running, like there was someone who wanted to kill him.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcOvXWnljY
“What’s gotten into you, hyung? Looks like you’ve seen a ghost back there.” Justin asked him with a laugh.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w18l0U4pA
It took him a second before his words sink in. And he glares at Justin with his iconic glare.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd9ZFnfLTd
And they all laugh at his own expense. And he gave a sigh of relief he doesn’t realize his holding.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZipi9R0oI
He smiled a bit, thankful that his family is safe, albeit with all the turmoil that running through his mind in that moment.
