✨ Fourth day ✨
Taehyung had lost the will to live. He sighed against the cloth on his lips. By now it was obvious that he had gone skinny as he hadn't consumed any food or water in 72 hours. He had soiled his clothes multiple times and he felt revolted by what he had done. Why was he here...? Oh yeah. He knew perfectly well why he was here. His decisions affected everyone.
Taehyung fidgeted with the cloth as he clenched his mouth and unclenched, the cloth shifted against his chapped lips when finally he was able to breathe properly. He took a gulp of air and immediately regretted it as he coughed and coughed.
His chest was undergoing immense pain. He had lost so much blood from yesterday and he needed to eat something to survive but there was nothing. No sign of Jungkook. No sign of anyone nearby that could possibly save him from this abyss. He shifted in his chair, it had previously been broken and Taehyung found that he could use the sharp end to cut the rope. Taehyung still had some hope left. A few tries later he found himself tired and unable to keep up. Nevertheless, he tried until he felt his limbs on fire, he tried until the rope loosened and he was finally able to stand up. He stumbled as he made way to the only door in the basement.
Taehyung was awestruck when he attempted to open the door without a handle. It seemed as if Jungkook had thought this one through and used a door that could only be opened from the outside. Even when he knew there was no handle, he tried his best to open it, he even launched the jagged chair at the door but to his dismay, it wouldn't budge. It was as if a massive load was on the other end of the door - no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't force it open. Finally thinking there was no hope whatsoever, he felt like giving up. He pulled his hair in frustration and let out his pent anger, he screamed at the top of his lungs and yearned to escape the fortress Jungkook had jailed him in. His anger didn't stop there as his mind was infiltrated with Jungkook and how he was winning this losing battle. There was no way he would let Jungkook win. There way no way he would let that happen. There was no way he would give Jungkook the luxury in killing him... He would kill himself to have some dignity left! He'd rather he kill himself then give Jungkook the opportunity. Slowly turning his head around Taehyung saw the thick rope on the floor, ideas spinning around his head and he finally came to a conclusion.
It was the only choice.
Taehyung had to kill himself.
