A/N : Long chapter
________________________________________
Dark room . Blood . Dead bodies - rotten , fresh , disfigured .
An young aged boy sitting in the dark room with his head on his knees . His blood smeared hands shaking uncontrollably .
You did it . You are one of us . You're just like us . You did it . You killed them . You're a murderer just like us . You're a killer . These voices continuously ringing in his mind . You're a murderer . You're a killer .
A man jerk up from his slumber . The light in the room is still on . His face drenched with sweat . His chest heaved up and down . He looked at the clock seeing the time 3:57 am . He only got 1 hour 30 minutes sleep. He can't sleep anyway not even with the sleeping pills as the sedation will lasts for more than his regular waking time . He stood up from the bed and walked towards the glass window where he can see the 4 am moon .
He lit up a cigarette that he had picked while walking towards the window .
☆
Y/N walked inside the sky touching building . She smiled happily looking around , greeting everyone she saw . She always have a cheerful smile adored her lips , everytime. Most of the people in the building wondered what makes this girl this much happy . There is not a single time she appeared to sad. And maybe that's why everyone wanted to be her friend . Everyone wanted to befriend someone who's always kind and caring to everyone . And there is always someone who would take advantage of her kindness .
Lee Y/N is working as an intern in this company . It's almost 2 and half months since she started working here and a half month only left . She really liked the working atmosphere . Most of the people were kind towards her and she really enjoyed there company . While others didn't mind her as if she is not visible to them but she didn't feel anything towards them because they are minding their business and she is also doing the same .
☆
Taehyung watched the CCTV footage of Y/N's cabin . He has seen himself watching her a lot of time . Maybe through the CCTV footage or simply staring at her if she is in front of him . He don't know why he does this . But seems like it has became a habit of him . Watching her . Watching the overly happy girl . She had noticed it but didn't confronted .
Kim Taehyung , Manager of the Kim Enterprises . His father and his two elder brothers also adorning the high positions in the company . He is very ambitious man , who spend his valuable time in increasing the profit of the company just like his brothers.
☆
Taehyung watched the girl , Y/N working around , distributing the paper works to her seniors , who are going to be in a meeting . Even though it's pretty much difficult in running errands for most of the people in the company she seems bit happy about that .
He still stared at her lips which adorned the smile . In his 26 years of life , he didn't seen anyone who smiles this much . He wondered , what makes her this much happy ?
But one thing , he was sure that , he hated it . He hated her smile . He hated the reason behind her smile . Moreover , he hated her .
☆
Taehyung drove his car behind the bus , where she is . He usually follow her like this .
She walked out of the bus at the usual stop . He saw her walking towards her apartment which is little away from the bus stop . When he saw her entering into her apartment , he drove off from there .
☆
Walking inside the house , Taehyung went towards his room . Maids and guards bowing him respectfully whenever they passed beside him . He lives all alone away from his family as he don't want to socialize with anyone .
After taking a bath , he walked downstairs , fully dressed in black . He saw his personal bodyguard , Jaemin , waiting for him downstairs . Upon seeing Taehyung , he gave a curt nod and walked outside towards the garage .
Taehyung walked outside and get inside the car when the car pulled near him . He leaned backwards , closing his eyes . His bodyguard drove off without saying anything .
Some time passed when they arrived at their destination . An old house in the middle of nowhere . They both walked out of the car and walked towards the house . Jaemin unlocked the lock and opened the door .
The rusty and the dusty smell of the room trailed their nostrils as they walked inside . They both walked towards the basement of the house as Jaemin on the flashlight of his phone to lighten the surrounding .
Jaemin opened the door by pushing it as Taehyung walked inside along with Jaemin .
Jaemin switched on the light .
There stood a person , a middle aged man with his eyes were covered with a blindfold and his mouth and hands were tapped . His legs are chained together to resist his moments . The person was sleeping tiredly .
Taehyung walked towards the tired man and opened his blindfold . He was still obilivious to his surroundings . Taehyung harshly strip the tape on his mouth as the man jerk upwards from his light slumber .
His eyes showed confusion and worry as he looked at the two unknown man in front of him .
Wh-who are you ? He questioned looking at the males . His lips quivering with fear. Why am I here ? He asked again . Please leave me . I don't know who are you ? Please . His pleadings followed.
Taehyung didn't said anything other than looking at the man in front of him .
Please , please leave me . He cried once more , now looking at Jaemin .
Jaemin sighed and looked away .
I'll be waiting outside . Jaemin said before walking away from there , closing the door behind him .
Taehyung walked towards the old drawer in the corner of the room . He opened it and saw various types of knifes and other torture things .
He took a knife from the ' collection ' and walked back to the male who is sitting in chair , crying and pleading to let him go .
Taehyung trailed the knife on the face and arms of the man . He cried loudly everytime the sharp object painfully collided with his skin . The sharp side of the knife teared his skin . Blood patches forming in the fresh wound . His ear splitting agony of pain echoed in the room . The man was clueless why he is getting this treatment . He don't remember meeting this person ever in his life . He don't remember any circumstances he would meet this man . But why ? Why this tortures ?
Wh-why ? Why are you doing this to me ? The man asked after sometime . His lips quivering . He wanted to know why this unknown man torturing him .
Why ? Taehyung repeated the question , more like to himself . The man in front of him became confused why this person repeating his words. This word was mine back then . I questioned several times , to several people , the same word , why ?
Why did they did this to me ? But no one answered . There was no answer to the question , why ? No answer . It is an unanswerable question . Taehyung walked towards his equipment collection and took Concentrated Hydrochloric Acid from it . Pouring the liquid to fresh wound of the man , he witnessed the man in pure ecstasy . His crying , the way the flesh burned and detached from his bone . Everything was making him happy . Taehyung's eyes sparkled like a child , seeing the man burning alive with the help of the acid .
After some pure time of torture , soul left from the man who is tied to the chair .
Taehyung walked towards the table in the corner and took a photo lying on it . A family picture . A man , wife and a son . They looked happy . The man was tickling the boy while the boy was laughing within the embrace of the older male . The woman smiling looking at the two happiness of her life . They were happy . Not anymore . Taehyung flipped the photo .
Park Jaehyun
38 years
They won't be happy anymore . Without the male in the picture . Park Jaehyun . Park Jaehyun , the man who died earlier .
Taehyung saw this man two weeks ago , in the nearby park , having fun time with his family . Smiling and living a happy life . He didn't liked it . That's all .
Taehyung ripped the photo apart and trashed the pieces in the floor . And walked away from the room . Jaemin called someone to clean up the mess and bury the body .
Jaemin and Taehyung drove off from there . Taehyung rested in the car while Jaemin drove the car .
You're a killer . A murderer . That's words echoed in his mind . I'm a killer . I'm a murderer . He mumbled along with it .
☆
Y/N was working inside her cabin , looking through files , when she heard a slight knock . She craned her head and looked at the intruder .
A woman in her late forty , well dressed in branded clothes , branded heels , matching jeweleries. She screamed richness . She walked towards Y/N and gently patted her head . The elder smiled genuinely showing her pearly white teeth .
You have all grown up . She said looking at her. Y/N shrugged her hands .
Who are you , ma'am ? Maybe you have mistake someone else for me . Y/N said looking here and there. Lady gasped bringing her hand to cover her mouth .
Y/N . It's me , your mom . She said holding Y/N's hand . Y/N shrugged it off.
My mom died when I was 10 . She said gritting her teeth. Her eyes and heart filled with hatred . Hatred , seeing the woman who destroyed her life . Her childhood .
Lady sighed looking down . She walked little bit closer to her wanting to hold Y/N once more but Y/N moved back creating a personal distance between them .
Mrs Byun , please GET OUT from here . Y/N yelled looking at the elder . Hearing the loud voice most of the employees came near cabin wanting to witness the scene .
Y/N , don't make a scene . I just wants to talk . Mrs Byun said looking at her .
I don't want to hear anything from you . So just get OUT . Y/N yelled . Her chest heaving up and down.
Y/N , I'm your mother . Don't raise your voice at me . She said.
Mother ? You lost the right when you walked away from our life. When you cheated on my Dad .
Y/N , I wasn't happy with that life . And that's our personal matter don't drag that into this. Mrs Byun said looking at Y/N . The elder's face scrunched feeling hurt .
I'm saying the same . So get out from here. She pointed towards the door . Mrs Byun sighed . She placed some bundle of cash and a business card on top of the table . She turned around to walk away . She stopped when she was out and turned towards Y/N who is looking down sniffing her tears .
Princess , She called Y/N . Hearing the pet name , her mother used to call , she clenched her fist. You don't have to work here . Please come and live with me. You know where to find me , right ? Mrs Byun walked away from there .
Y/N walked out of the cabin and saw a lot of people staring at her , gossiping each other . She ran towards the rooftop .
☆
Hearing the commotion , Taehyung came towards the floor . He saw Y/N ran away . Seeing their manager , everyone started leaving from the scene to continue their work .
He walked towards the rooftop with a speeding heart. Why would he wanted to meet her ? Maybe to witness the all time smiley girl being broken down .
When he witnessed it , her curled up in a corner hugging her knees and sobbing her heart out . He didn't felt happy. For the first time he didn't felt satisfied . Maybe stalking her almost these 2 months made his heart to have a soft spot for her . Maybe he felt little attached to her .
He walked towards her , kneeling in front of her , he hugged her . Pulling her closer to him . She didn't protested , not even looking at who the person is , she allowed the stranger to pull her towards their chest .
After sometime , when she felt like she calmed down , she pulled away from the hug . She looked at the person who is staring right at her eyes . Her heart skipped once more seeing him this much closer . Like any other person she was always fascinated by the ethereal beauty he holds . It would be a lie if she said that she don't have a crush on this man .
They sat on the bench under shade , in the rooftop looking at the vast area .
What happened ? Taehyung decided to break the silence .
Sorry for making the commotion . If you want , you can fire me . I won't-
I'm not asking for an apology , Y/N . All I'm asking , did something happened to you . Taehyung looked staring at her eyes . Y/N looked away breaking the eye contact.
Mrs Byun Lena , is my mother , biological mother . Y/N sighed . She looked down fiddling with her fingers . My parents ..... Their marriage was arranged ......... To hold from this day forward , for better , for worse , for richer , for poorer , in sickness and in health , to love and to cherish , until death do us apart . Taehyung looked at Y/N , who is looking straight .
That didn't happen in their life . Even after they had me . There wasn't a single day , they fought together. Her tears ran down her cheeks , followed by another . But I'm sure , dad loved her a lot . More than me. He tried his best to hold onto our family . He worked himself off to provide everything we both ever wanted . But mom wasn't satisfied . Not with the things . But with our family . She cheated on my dad when I was 5 with a man whom she met at the bar , Mr Byun . My dad knew but still he hold onto it ....... Mom was in a relationship with Byun , a single dad . After 5 years she divorced my father and walked away from our life . To be with her love . To became the mother figure of the two boys . She loved them as if they were her own . But neglected me , who born from her . She gave them a beautiful childhood while taking away mine . Y/N sniffled her tears . She looked at Taehyung who is still looking at her .
But I'm happy . My father take care of me all alone. Giving me all the love . She said giving him a smile , as if she wasn't crying till now . She looked down at her watch and stood up .
I'll get going . I had to complete my task . She bowed and ran away from there . Taehyung sat there looking where she ran off . He remembered everything she blurred out earlier . He didn't know the bubbly girl had a rough past. Without a mother . It had been tough for a child . He placed his hand on his chest , feeling the beating of his heart which is vigorously beating .
Until death do us apart .
Until death do us apart .
Her voice rang in his heart and mind in unison . Until death do us apart . He said with a smile .
☆
Taehyung and Y/N became close from that day . But one thing she can't cope up with is that , he would stare at her for a long time . As if he would bore holes in her head with that stares . It didn't make her uncomfortable but surely did something in her heart .
Small dinner dates . Night outing . Everything is a blissful moment for
Y/N with him . She told her father that she kinda loves someone . Her father was extremely happy to hear that and tried to teach old flirty techniques . But she don't want to make Taehyung uncomfortable so she didn't take her father's advice .
She was invited to his house for a birthday party . She assumed it would be a very grand function so she dressed according to it and bought a gift . But there was none other than her and him in his house . She was kinda confused seeing there was no one except them .
I'm not comfortable with outsiders in my house. He said as if he know what's going on her mind. She looked at him , wondering if she is not an outsider to him .
They cut the cake together and eat dinner together . She was little tipsy from drinking alcohol . So she was as usual blurring out everything that comes in her mind while Taehyung stared at her . She placed the glass on the table and stood up and walked towards him . She stumbled on her leg and just then she would kiss the ground , Taehyung stood up , pull her towards his chest.
She looked at him with her half lidded eyes . She trailed her fingers from his forehead , to his nose bridge , to his lips . She rubbed his lips with her thumb . Y/N stared at the mole on his lower lips which did a mesmerizing beauty .
Did anyone told how much of a Greek God you're ? She said without withdrawing her stares from his lips .
A lot . He said looking at her .
She took his hand which was on her hip and placed it on her chest which is beating rapidly . She looked at him who was already staring at her .
Do you have any idea what you're doing to me ? She questioned with a speeding heart . He stood there without any answer .
They stood there paralyzed in the silence.
Y/N harshly pulled him towards her , practically gluing him on her . She placed her lips on him . Sucking his breath away . Taehyung stood there shocked for a while but responded afterwards .
He pushed her against the wall sucking on her lower lip . Y/N pulled his hair and he groaned against her lips . He took her on hands while she encircled her legs around his waist . He walked towards his room still kissing her .
☆
Hearing the muffled sounds , Y/N woke up. She squinted her eyes to adjust to the sudden light. She looked around seeing a completely new atmosphere . Taehyung's house . She looked under the blanket and noticed she is wearing an oversized black hoodie . His. A smile formed on her lips . Hearing the muffled voice once more , she looked around . She saw a man , more precisely Taehyung curled up in a ball , crying his heart out. She pushed the blanket away from her and stood up . She hissed in pain , the moment her lower body moved. She walked towards him hissing in between and crouched down to his height .
He flinched the moment she touched his bare shoulders . He looked at her with his red and tear smudged face. She felt a pang in her heart seeing him like this.
Tae , what happened ? She asked slowly . He shook his head while a stream of tears pour down from his eyes. Tae ... She called him tenderly .
Y/N . Pl-please run away from here . R-run away from me . I'm not a g-good person. He said quivering in between . She cupped his cheeks . She pulled him up and both of them walked towards the bed. He kept crying and shaking his head , pleading her to run away from him .
Tae , what are you -
Y-Y/N . I'm a monster . He said shaking his head.
No . No you're not -
No. I'm a monster . A killer . I killed a lot of people . I'm a monster , a murderer . I know . I'm just like them . They had told me . Run away from me Y/N . R-run away from m-me . He said looking down . His tears continuously pouring from his eyes . For a second , she became frozen . He killed ? She regained her composure and pulled him to her chest .
Run away from me Y/N . I don't want to lose you . I'm afraid . I'm afraid I'll do something to you . Y/N I'm -
It's okay . I'm here . She said hugging him closer . He wept clutching the hoodie she is wearing . He wept like a child in front of her . She hugged him tightly , rubbing his back while whispering sweet nothings in his ear. After sometime when she felt a weight on her . She slightly pulled away seeing him fast asleep . She sighed and placed his head on the pillow and keeping his legs on the bed. She covered him with the blanket . She walked towards the bathroom .
☆
She walked downstairs , seeing a lot of people downstairs , maids and guards. She is dressed in his clothes , a hoodie and pants . Pant was oversized so she had to tie a belt around it to fit it on her . Maids cleaning the mess they had created last night . Food waste . Material waste .
While showering , she had thought about his words . Killings . Did he really did that ? Or was it just he dreamed about something horrible ? She wanted to know everything about him . But whom to ask . He didn't said anything about his family . Everyone in the company knows that Taehyung is the son of the chairman . But nothing more . Even though if she knows about them , she can't just go and ask them about this .
She noticed a person sitting on the couch , dressed in complete black . He stood up and bowed seeing her walking down . He walked towards her .
Ma'am , Sir ? He asked looking upstairs.
He is sleeping . She said looking at him . She noticed the way some maids blushed and chuckled hearing this. She assumed what they were thinking . Even though , that was a partial truth ...
You are ? She inquired .
I'm Choi Jaemin . His personal bodyguard. He said giving her a bow .
If you're not busy , can I have a spare of your time ? She asked looking at him .
Of course ma'am . He said .
They both sat inside Taehyung's house office room in silence . She fidgeted with her fingers not knowing how to start. If he doesn't know anything about the killings it will be a big red flag . Jaemin sat there looking at her without any emotion .
You know .... I mean ..... Nothing . Just forget about it . She said standing up . Just she was about to go from there , he talked .
About the murders ? She looked at him perplexed . So it was true . He killed . She sat down the chair.
Did he really..... She trailed the question not wanting to continue . He nodded. She sighed .
Why ? She asked looking down .
Chairman , Kim Jung Su . He started this business from nothing. There were a lot of people who wanted to bring him down when the business grew . He did everything to keep his business up . Everything . He killed someone who was trying to bring down his business empire . Taehyung was just fifteen at that time , a minor. His father couldn't go to prison and the same goes for his brothers as they were already adult . So Taehyung became the murderer . A minor killed an adult for self protection as he was trying to rape him . That was the statement . As a minor he only had to be in the juvenile home for 2 years . I met him there . We were cell mates . After 2 years , he came out from there . But he distanced himself from everyone . He hated everyone for putting him through this . His father compelled him to study MBA while he wanted to be in Arts . He had to sacrifice everything for the sake of his family . Everyone loathed him for being a murderer even though he wasn't . So he became one . He killed a lot of people just because they were happy unlike him . He finished looking at her . She felt sad hearing about his backstory . As a teenager how much he had suffered back then .
Now he is afraid of darkness , isolated places because of his trauma . Jaemin said looking down .
Hearing this , Y/N remembered their past encounter . When they were together in the elevator , the elevator suddenly got stuck and the lights went off because of some technical issues. She remembered the way Taehyung kneeled in the floor hugging his knees , covering his ear and shutting his eyes while shaking his head. The way he pleaded to take him out of there . She hugged him tightly for a moment to calm him .
What about his mother ? Y/N asked .
She died while giving birth to Taehyung . Jaemin said.
The silence lingered in the air for a long time .
If you want to bring this out , I'll help you . I'm willing to reveal myself as the murderer . Jaemin said looking at her. Y/N looked down .
Why ? She asked looking at him .
Because he was the one who saved me from killing myself after coming out from the juvenile home. He was the one who helped when my own parents abandoned me . He was the one who feed me when I was starving to death . For me he is equal to God . I'm even ready to die for him . Jaemin said . She witnessed the sincerity in his eyes .
I don't want to bring this out . She said standing up . He also stood up looking confused . He thought she would say yes . But help the family who lost their member without their knowing . She said walking away from there . He nodded and walked behind her .
Walking out of the room , she saw Taehyung standing against the wall with his head hung down .
You know everything , right ? Taehyung asked walking towards her with a slow pace. She nodded .
Sir I -
It's okay . I was going to do the same . Taehyung said cutting off Jaemin's words .
Jaemin bowed and walked away from there . Taehyung stood beside Y/N .
If you want to leave , you can . He said looking down .
I don't want to . She said looking at him . Taehyung looked at her confused . I want to stay here . With you . Until death do us apart . She said .
Until death do us apart . The same words .
His eyes filled with tears .
Until death do us apart . He said , joining their foreheads together .
Both of them had a rough past , so they both decided to be their cure by loving each other . That was both of them wanted , love .
THE END
She kissed me .
She kissed the devil .
Only a beautiful soul like her's would kiss the damned .
