I am really sorry for delay again. Uh , I don't really have any excuse. I was just being lazy(￣ヘ￣;)
Moonie
Also , not to waste that lazy time , I did explore the origin of this plot. Not like a real story or something , but the origin of this practice of separating powers. Me and my advisor discussed many things.✨

Jungkook was walking into the forest , the place where he usually stays at , in the dense forest all alone. As he walks towards the end of it , right near the road , again he sees Taehyung there.
Jeon Jungkook
What are you doing here? (he asks him with an annoyed tone)
Jeon Jungkook
(scoffs) What? Have you been told to keep an eye on me? Are you a spy now?
Jeon Jungkook
I can't even stay here peacefully now because of you. (he states and was about to turn around)
Kim Taehyung
It's not that..
Kim Taehyung
I just wanted to..
Kim Taehyung
I apologise for that day. At the elder's birthday celebration.
Jeon Jungkook
(looks at Taehyung with amusement) Apologise?
Jeon Jungkook
Why are you apologising hm? Scared that we will actually harm that boy?
Kim Taehyung
No! I didn't say that!
Kim Taehyung
Why are you assuming things?
Jeon Jungkook
Learned from you only.
Jeon Jungkook
(walks forward, now stepping on the road) Just like you all assume things about us.
Jeon Jungkook
So your apology isn't accepted by me or anyone here. Leave!
Jeon Jungkook
Why? Because that apology is pathetic! I don't even understand why you're apologising. Ask your people to do that.
Jeon Jungkook
Tell them to apologise for thay day, tell them to apologise for killing Ae-cha. Can you do that?
Kim Taehyung
We didn't kill her..(he too steps forward now) her brother did.
Jeon Jungkook
(stares at Taehyung for a second and smirks) You know, you know it was wrong. You are aware of it hmm.
Jeon Jungkook
You just can't do anything. Have you ever thought why?
Jeon Jungkook
Did you have any thoughts that were yours? You're just a puppet , being controlled and manipulated by them. You don't have a right on your own self.
Jeon Jungkook
Atleast I have my own freedom.
Kim Taehyung
I am not controlled by anything! I am just doing what's right!
Kim Taehyung
You're blaming that because you got chosen as a monster! You're angry at them and want revenge. But that's your fate Jungkook, and you have to accept it! Why can't you?
Jeon Jungkook
(a look of disbelief forms on his face) Are you even hearing yourself?
Jeon Jungkook
(two steps forward are taken by him in anger) My fate? It wasn't my fate, I was forced into it!
Jeon Jungkook
You think accepting it is that easy, Kim Taehyung? You might be their slave, not me!
Kim Taehyung
Jungkook! (he warns and moves closer to Jungkook, staring right at him)
Jeon Jungkook
Did it feel bad? The truth feels bitter.
Jeon Jungkook
Today you answer me something.
Jeon Jungkook
Since the childhood you've had many dreams to be a hero and protect everyone. You're loved by everyone. But one day you're told that you will be a devil and you have no choice but to accept him. The people who looked at you with a loving gaze now have nothing but disgust and hatred for you.
Jeon Jungkook
Would it hurt you?
Jeon Jungkook
The family you love so much , the people who raised you , the closest friend whom you are willing to support forever turn their back on you when you're declared a monster. When you're staring at them with a helpless and scared expression , they are cursing you. Wanting your death , would it hurt you?
Kim Taehyung
It would but still , I would accept it.
Jeon Jungkook
Even if you never had any bad thought , always wanted good things for everyone. Wouldn't it be unfair?
Jeon Jungkook
Saying yes so casually doesn't matter. You just now thought of it and I saw you hesitating. I felt it , I experienced it! You wouldn't know how I felt!
Jeon Jungkook
I wasn't evil! I wasn't a monster! I was just a kid who wanted to love and be loved by everyone. I wanted to protect people, not harm them!
Kim Taehyung
If you weren't really a monster then why? Why did you killed your own-
Jeon Jungkook
You don't know anything! (he spats out with furious eyes) You weren't there so stop saying like you know it all.
Jeon Jungkook
You just believed what you heard , so shut up!
Jeon Jungkook
I went through it. I know it the best than anyone else could.
In the dimly lit night, Jungkook's piercing gaze cuts through the darkness, filled with simmering anger. His furrowed brows and intense stare create an atmosphere of tension. Taehyung, on the other hand, standing face to face with Jungkook, bathed in the subtle glow of moonlight, his expression marked by confusion and sorrow. The night witnesses the complexity of their shared emotions.
Jeon Jungkook
Since you said yes so easily, why don't you go and ask?
Jeon Jungkook
Ask you parents, what if you were declared a monster right now, even after playing as a hero all this time? Would they let you go? Would you they not hesitate to attack you?
Jeon Jungkook
If they say yes, would it hurt?
Kim Taehyung
Yes but..they are doing what they are supposed to. I will feel bad but what can I do? I will just accept my fate.
Jeon Jungkook
And if you want to come back , just for one glance of them or to tell them you're scared. You didn't go there to attack them but to find solace in them.
Jeon Jungkook
But they attacked you in return. They won't hesitate to kill you in return because they believe you will harm them. You explain and explain, you cry but they loathe you now.
Jeon Jungkook
Would it hurt?
Kim Taehyung
I..(he feel speechless at that moment)
Jeon Jungkook
It would hurt a lot.
Jeon Jungkook
Even if that's your fate , you hate it.
Jeon Jungkook
Even if you tried to be good , you were pushed into this darkness. You want atleast someone to understand you but all you get is them not hesitating to end your existence.
Jeon Jungkook
Without any remorse..
Jeon Jungkook
Ask them , ask what they would do. Their answer..
Jeon Jungkook
It would hurt right?

What's a little insult and wrongful blame in front of the life of the little girl and so many such people who were innocent? You don't feel ashamed of that?
Whatever it is, at least it is a step in the right direction? .......
