118 : The Useful One

Third Person's P.O.V :-

The sudden presence of Taehyung in the dimly lit room froze the pair, both of them were speechless and felt a mixture of emotions towards the scene that had just played right in front of them.

The presence of Taehyung pierced through their chests, as his intense gaze drilled into them, Jungkook and Jimin felt their throats tightening up and their heartbeats speeding up.

The moment felt like a still life, every movement and breath seemed amplified, as if they were underwater.

Taehyung was the predator and both of them were the prey.

As soon as Taehyung's glare hit them, Jungkook lowered his eyes to the basement floor as if wishing for everything to disappear in that very moment.

Jimin, on the other hand, looked up and felt his entire body tremble the instant he caught eyes with him. The intensity in his eyes was enough to send a chill down his spine, as he could feel his breath catching and getting shorter.

As they both remained frozen, Taehyung continued to look at them, his intense gaze piercing them as if he was attempting to get as much insight as possible into their psyche.

After what felt like an eternity, the silence was abruptly broken as Taehyung finally spoke.

"Enjoying your little chitchat session in my basement?" Taehyung asked, his words laced with harshness and bitterness as his gaze remained pointed at both of them.

Both Jimin and Jungkook felt like someone had zipped their mouths shut as they watched Taehyung descending down the metal stains of the basement with crisp steps.

This was the first time the three of them were alone together in a room after finding out that Taehyung was Kim Taeri's brother.

A thick, uncomfortable silence filled the room only broken by the sounds of Taehyung's feet coming in contact with the metal stains.

Each one of Taehyung's steps sounded like a nail being hammered on their coffins.

Taehyung continued to descend the basement with a tense and cold expression, his body language suggested that he was filled with anger and animosity.

Finally, he reached the floor and stood in front of the pair, with a stony face and sharp eyes, he stared at both of them,"I hope your chitchat was fun?" he asked sarcastically.

"Taehyung..." Jimin trailed off as he helplessly looked into Taehyung's unforgiving eyes which seemed to have lost all of the warmth it held just that morning,"Taehyung, I'm sorry but you understand why I did what I did, right..?" He asked uncertainly.

The silence that followed Jimin's sentence almost felt like an eternity, as Taehyung remained completely still and unmoving. His intense stare never wavering, as if he was contemplating something.

Finally he spoke, his words pierced through Jimin like a knife,"Do you expect me to believe that you had no choice but to continue doing what you were doing?" he asked, his voice harsh and bitter, almost like the tone you would use when you're being confrontational with someone.

Jimin gulped the lump in his throat,"I-I had to, Tae, I truly didn't have any other choice, my father didn't leave me any other choice" He whispered as tears streamed down his face.

The sight of Jimin's tears filled Taehyung's eyes with fury, his voice shook up when he spoke,"Oh, so you're telling me that because of the pressure from your dad, you completely stopped considering basic human decency?" he asked with harshness,"You're telling me you had literally no other choice other than watching my Noona get dragged off by an assassin?!" He added angrily.
