Mythical Short Stories - 방탄손연단 PART 3

Once again, the black vision fades, this time leaving him more comfortable.

The footsteps are running closer. Taehyung rushes out to find a few abandoned houses in quarantine. He rushes to check all the doors.

Broken, locked, blocked, or destroyed. All except for one.

Taehyung reluctantly enters the house, quickly pushing the bookcase in front of it for some extra weight.

He takes a deep breath, taking a quick look around. Some old pictures, books, but most furniture destroyed.

In the second room, there is a broken fireplace, in front lays a dead decayed body. Just like those from before, it's burned.

Taehyung closes his eyes and blindly goes upstairs. Finding another bookcase. A door completely destroyed and blocked and an open door to the bathroom with a ripped piece of wall, giving him access to the other rooms.

Taehyung looks at the broken mirror.

He looks so... dead.

Deep dark circles under his eyes, hid blue and red veins standing out under his skin, his brown hair dry and dead. His once hazelnut eyes were now a mixed blueish yellow.

Whatever he became, it wasn't pretty.

He remembers the shadow. It plays out in front of him like he was there, watching.

Looking through a space, a shadow behind him, killing him by a bite. His own words echo in his head.

"I have so much left to accomplish."

Taehyung looks down at his hands, sighing and turning to the broken gap in the wall.

In the next room over, there is a man sitting in a chair. His blood is splattered on the walls, and there is a gun on the floor.

Death from suicide.

Taehyung takes the gun, his heart pumping in his head. He checks for bullets. 5 left.

He walks over to the barely intact bed and lays down. He can't deal with the pain. He murdered his own sister...

He points the gun to his chest, takes a deep breath, and shoots.

No, no. The crows aren't ready to pick at his body yet. Bleeding is such a gorgeous humane feature, yet we fail to realize it belongs to all of us.

It shows a lot about a mortal, their blood.

And you should know, Doctor Kim Taehyung.

Another moment of awakening with pain. Taehyung feels his chest, a sob and whine leaving his lips.

"This is impossible! Have I lost touch with reality? Am I mental?!"

Taehyung gets up with a sigh and rubs his hands on his face. The bed is soaked with blood. He has the bullet hole in his chest, yet he's alive.
