Bad At Love . KTH [Completed]

Seoyoung's POV

Hearing these words, I didn't know what to say. 

"I-I, Daniel-" 

"You don't need to say anything," Daniel spat, eyeing the weapon in my hand, "You're not the Seoyoung I knew anyway. It wasn't supposed to happen, but my feelings aren't something so easily controlled," he mumbled the last part, but I still heard it. I was confused.

"What do you mean 'it wasn't supposed to happen?'" I questioned, heart hammering in my ribcage. Something was going on, something crafty.

"Nothing... It means nothing-"

"Tell me! What does 'it' mean?!" Daniel stays silent yet again, staring at the gun now tightly grasped between my fingers. 

"What happened to you..." 

"Tell. Me," I commanded. This wasn't right. He had hidden so many things from me. Was anything in our relationship real? "What does 'it' mean?!" It took a while, but I could tell he had caved. 

"Us. Our friendship. I was only supposed to get close to you, close enough to bring you in, but you were too innocent, too sweet, so undeserving of the fate she had planned for you. I dragged out the operation longer and longer, telling her the time wasn't right. It was too late when I had been discovered, and Taehyung dragged me in, along with you. For you were his prized possession, the very person he had been searching for, and I couldn't let him have you. So I planned to hand you over to her that night, but it was too late. Taehyung had got me." When Daniel finished, I was at a loss of words.

"Wh-who is 'she?'" I asked, quite rhetorically, for deep in my heart, I already knew the answer, but I still needed confirmation. I needed him to say it. 

"Jeong Eunah, Taehyung's most hated nemesis," he answers, confidently and truthfully. 

"Why... What..." I spluttered, different incoherent sounds as I sank to the floor, the gun clattering to the ground at my side. "But... You were my best friend..." 

"Right? It's the closest people to you that will betray you first," Daniel's voice echoed from a faraway distance as my ears seemed to become muffled as my eyes came out of focus, my brain trying to process all the shock and anguish of being so blindly deceived. "That's why you should watch out for that Taehyung. You never know what he might do." At the mention of Taehyung's name, it drew me back into the world, like a lifeline. Eyes widening, I screamed and grabbed for the gun to defend myself, but I was too slow. Daniel had charged at me with his bloody knife in hand, aiming straight for me. The knife plunges into my shoulder, sticking out with blood slowly trickling out of the wound. I had never even cut my finger before, much less been stabbed. The pain was immense, and quick to register, shooting through my nerves. I screamed in agony, clutching the wound to try and stop the bleeding. Hearing my cry, the doors immediately burst open, revealing the trio of Taehyung, Jimin and Jungkook. Taehyung went straight for Daniel, Jimin close at his heels. Jungkook immediately came to my side, cradling me in his arms as he examined the wound. 

"Get her out of here!" Taehyung yells as he and Jimin manage to wrestle Daniel back down into his shackles. Jungkook nods, picking me up in his arms, but I stop him. 

"Wait, let me talk to him," I say weakly. 

"Seoyoung-"

"Please... Just a few words," I plead. Jungkook looks up at Taehyung for instruction, of which he reluctantly allows Jungkook to bring me over to sit right next to the man who stabbed me, Jungkook supporting my back. Without a word, I lift my good hand and slap Daniel across the cheek, surprising everyone in the room. "You," I start, filling my eyes with as much hatred and disgust I had in me, and said, with as much venom as possible, "We're done." I then turned to Taehyung, with great difficulty and strain, I pulled the knife out from my shoulder and handed it to an even more startled Taehyung. "Do whatever you wish with him. I never knew him," and at last, my blood flowed more freely as I blacked out. 

Taehyung's POV 

As soon as Seoyoung handed me the knife coated in her blood, she passed out. 

"Jungkook, bring her to Hobi and make sure she's well-tended to. Call Yoongi down, for us to have a nice talk with this bastard here," I said, flicking my head towards Daniel who was hunched over on the bed. "Jimin, go grab some interrogation tools. We're getting answers out of this fool." Jimin and Jungkook immediately got to work. Jimin exits the room with Jungkook close at his heels, a hand over the bleeding wound on Seoyoung's shoulder. Seeing her blood just made me even angrier. Slowly, I walked over to Daniel, squatting down next to him as I glared straight into his eyes. "Why? Why is that bitch doing all this?!" I yell violently. "If she has a problem with me, why can't she just come and hold me responsible?!" At my rage, Daniel merely laughs. 

"But don't you see? Seoyoung is the problem. She is the reason why Eunah can't have you." I scoff. 

"Do you really think it's that simple? Even if Seoyoung did not hold a place in my heart, I still wouldn't want to have anything to do with that piece of shit. Is she seriously that deluded?" Daniel doesn't answer, just closing his eyes sitting still as a statue. "Why?"

"Why what?" he mumbled. 

"Why did you want to turn her in, even though you liked her? Are you so afraid of your boss, that you can't fight for the ones you love? Is that how cowardly you are!?" At this, a devious smirk spreads across his face. 

"I wasn't going to. I made it my intention to do that, but it was really just for you. I wanted you to come and get me."

"But why?" 

"So I could be here, and do this." Suddenly, with the swiftest movement, Daniel flies around me, holding a little syringe by my neck. "I just needed you alone."
