A/N: My last update before I travel for the next 3 days. I will update shortly. Till then enjoy this 😄
"Nana", Taehyung's voice was serious as he looked at me.
I walked up to him as I saw him holding a picture. "Yes"
"Who is this", he says as he turned the picture towards me.
"Oh this", I said at the sight of the familiar picture. "Its James. He is a friend"
I swear I saw Taehyung's eyes gleam red as he looked at me with the coldest gaze ever before he looked down. He said something under his breath but I didn't catch it.
"Sit in the car"
"Taehyung what happened? Why are you suddenly so angry?"
"Nana sit in the car", he stuffed the picture back into the trunk and closed it with a thud making the entire car ramble due to the impact.
"Taehyung please talk to me. I don't know why you are angry. I swear he is just a friend and I asked to shoot him only because I needed a model..."
"NANA SIT IN THE FUCKING CAR", he yelled once again and his skin gleamed red along with his eyes. An old couple passing by in a distance stopped as they heard him and for a moment even they were startled by his anger. Not wanting to create a scene and also because I was scared, I opened the door and meekly got in.
The entire ride he said nothing. All he did was look in front at the road. His driving was rash. Even when I pleaded him, he didn't slow down. I couldn't understand what about James's picture had triggered him so much that he was behaving this way.
With a harsh turn we entered his building premise. He stopped the car and got out, with me following. Grabbing the pictures from the trunk, we headed to his apartment.
Just as we opened the apartment door, we were greeted by Jungkook eating while watching something. Seeing us he smiled and made way to us.
"Ah Hyung—"
"Leave Jungkook", the younger boy stopped as he was perplexed why he had been suddenly asked to leave. "What happened Hyung, is everything okay?"
"We will talk later. Leave us alone this instance. It is an order"
At the mention of those words, Jungkook immediately straightened himself and bowed slightly before gathering his belongings and leaving.
I looked at him with pleading eyes to stay because I was scared of Taehyung now and how unpredictable he could get. He had never shown anger to me, not once in our 3 months of dating. But he just gave me a sympathetic look before walking out of the door.
The door closed and my hands were trembling. Taehyung was still silent, the picture frame of James hanging loosely in his hand.
He raised it slightly as a dark chuckle escaped his mouth. "All this time and effort of keeping this fucker away and look at him, being best friends with you"
"What", his words were so confusing.
"Tell me Nana, how did you even meet him?"
"I..", my voice was shaky and my breath hitched. I couldn't believe how afraid I was feeling right now. "I met him in a supermarket before we started dating"
"Of course you did", he chuckled darkly. "What next?"
"He tried flirting with me and we exchanged numbers. Ever since then we kept in contact"
Taehyung's expression changed from an amused one to a sinister darkness. "You will no longer talk to him. Block his number and delete his contact from your phone. You aren't allowed to go anywhere without telling me or taking me with you"
"What", I was blank. "Why but? James's is just a friend. Why are you acting this way? I swear we have nothing. You don't have to be jealous"
He let out a sarcastic scoff. "I wished it was this simple. But you heard me. I don't want you to ever talk to him, about him or so as to contact him again"
"No", I said defensively. "I will not do this until you give me an explanation for your behavior"
"Nana", he growled. "Don't fucking argue with me right now. Do as I say. Where is your phone? Give it to me", he lunged at me to take it from my pocket but I pushed him away.
"NO. YOU DON'T CONTROL ME. WITHOUT GIVING ME A PROPER EXPLANATION, I AM NOT DOING ANYTHING"
"Nana, please don't fuck with me now. Do as I say. I am pissed right now. Don't make me do anything I would regret"
"THEN TELL ME. I DESERVE TO KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING. WHAT IS THAT ABOUT JAMES THAT MAKES YOU SO ANGRY OR WORKED UP?"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP", he yelled, his skin turning completely red as he threw the frame in my direction. I closed my eyes in reflex and my ears later as the frame hit the wall behind crashing on the ground, the shreds of glass flying everywhere as a couple pierced the back of my arm.
"THAT IS NOT A RANDOM HARMLESS GUY YOU JUST MET IN THE SUPERMARKET. THAT IS MY BROTHER JAMES. HE IS A DEMON JUST LIKE THE OTHERS. THE ONLY REASON HE WANTS TO BE FRIENDS WITH YOU IS BECAUSE YOU ARE AN ANGEL HALFLING. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE LEGEND OF THE RED MOON IS?"
I was tongue tied, tears rolling down my eyes as I tried to stop my body from shaking. Nothing made sense to me.
"DO YOU OR DO YOU NOT?"
"No.. I don't", I said through my tears, disturbed at how the once loving Taehyung was right now so demonic to me.
He scoffed. "According to that legend, whoever that sacrifices an angel halfling to the red moon receives unimaginable power and strength. And do you know when the red moon is? 6 days before your birthday. That is why he wants to be close to you, so he can take you to hell and make a sacrifice ritual of you. Who do you think sent all those demons behind you in Ilsan? Who almost killed Jungkook to send a message to me? He did so he can defeat me and take over my throne"
Taehyung was raging - his skin red and black lines on the contours of his face. But more than that what ate me up was his words. That James guy - this is what he wanted? To kill me? And I so unknowingly wandered into his trap.
With shaking legs I took a step backwards before running away from there straight into Taehyung's room and closing the door behind.
Seeing Nana run brought Taehyung out of his trance. He looked at the mess he made and his eyes widened. Had he in his devil form just thrown this frame at Nana? Guilt ate him up as he immediately ran behind her. How could he have let his anger consume him and make her cry.
I sat by the foot of the bed crying as I recalled all his words. What mess was I in? My life was so much better before all these people came into it. Why couldn't they just leave me alone?
The door rammed open and I saw Taehyung. Instinctively I scurried to my feet and took steps away from him.
Taehyung's heart ached as he saw how scared Nana was. "Nana..", he called for her softly.
"No don't come near me", she warned still crying. "Just stay away from me"
"Nana please, I am sorry. I was just..", he stopped as she fell to her knees crying hard. Immediately he ran up to her and wrapped her within her arms. "I am sorry, I am sorry, please forgive me..", he chanted like a mantra rocking her body softly.
"You are scary and I don't like this form of you. Did you see yourself? I don't want to be here. I don't want to be with you.."
Taehyung's heart shattered a million pieces as he heard this. "I am sorry please forgive me. I got so scared because he already has been around you. Just the thought of something happening to you made me like this. Please..", his voice was strained as he tried not to cry.
I calmed down a little as he stroked my hair as I tried my best to stop a hiccup.
"I am sorry honey, I really am", he kissed my forehead.
"Don't ever become like this again", I warned him, tightening my hold on him. "Or else I will snitch to my father"
Taehyung suppressed a smile as he kissed the top of my head again. "I will never"
We stayed like this for a moment until he pulled me up and took me to bed, placing me gently and getting in beside me.
"He won't kill me, will he?", I asked with hopeful eyes to Taehyung who looked at me. "He will not even touch you as long as I am here. You underestimate the people around you Nana. You have me, your father, Hoseok and Jungkook. None of us would ever let James get near you"
I nodded as we kept looking at each other. His eyes trailed from my eyes to my lips and he bent forward, kissing them lightly.
I let him as I kissed back, putting my hand on his neck as I pulled closer. He pulled away before kissing my cheeks and down to my jaw. I closed my eyes as I felt him leave gentle kisses all the way to my neck.
As he backed a little, I noticed something. "Taehyung your eyes..", I was surprised as they had turned a blue.
"Oh shit", he cursed and moved himself away from me. "I cannot do this, I.. I was.. I was lusting..", he commented, mad at himself for letting his lust take over.
Just as he was about to climb out of bed, I pulled him back. My actions took me by surprise but I didn't want to stop.
"I trust you..", I said softly. "I know you would never do something to hurt me"
Taehyung gulped as his eyes met Nana's. "Are you sure?", he asked and I nodded. "Do it"
Just as the words left my mouth, his lips found mine as he pushed me back into the bed.
A/N: we all know what happens after this 😂 kids skip the next chapter.
