Chapter 14: Filter

Escaping the building was easy, but it was impossible when you tried to escape the place with people flooding the area.

"Everyone stays calm! We'll find out what is happening!" Hundreds of police officers were present at the place. The people staying at the hotel were outside, fuming in rage because of what was happening.

"Are you all crazy? I had a shoot to go, and I can't return to get my outfit!"

"I have AAA to attend to, and a fire started to happen?"

"I'm an artist of Hybe labels! This is ridiculous. Call my agency!"

"Calm down! The officer will investigate the place first, then you all can go back!"

Artists, idols, government people, and many more important people shouted angrily. Everything was in chaos, The fire alarm had gone off, but there was no fire. Well, not yet.

Taehyung was getting frustrated with everyone as he tried to get out of the crowd. You were slipping from his grasp. Everyone was pushing in, inside the place, after knowing that fire was emitted.

The hotel management had to check first what had caused the fire alarm to set off. It was getting hectic, and by the time Taehyung managed to slip, he had lost you in the crowds. You were looking left and right, trying to find him.

"Taehyung!"

"Taehyung, where are you?!" People were pushing, and it was beginning to suffocate you when you suddenly fell when people had pushed you.

A man had pushed you; he looks like someone important; he looks at you, "You bitch, watch where you are going!" He was going to hit you but was interrupted when a scream was heard. They all looked at the hotel entrance.

"FUCKING HELL, GET OUT RIGHT NOW! A BOMB!" oh no, they run. As the police officer was running away, someone suddenly shouted. A shattering sound can be heard, and as you all look up, people start running away from their spot as the falling glass begins to sprinkle the almost night skies.

You pull away instantly and see Taehyung staring at you.

You were not moving, and you didn't know why. Your feet had latched themselves to the ground as the place rang with screams. People are running away from the site, with the police shouting, and it seems like a blur to you. But before Taehyung could ask you what's wrong, a sudden shout could be heard when people started to point out in the sky.

Both of you look up to the sky. There was not enough time to process what was happening next.

A body flew not far from where you and Taehyung were standing, startling everyone there. People started to gather at the spot. It made you curious as you ran. Taehyung, who was shouting, was trying to grab onto you.

After you look at the body, you can't help to react and look away from where the body had felt. Taehyung, who finally found you, saw the dismantled body.

The body's joints were cut, making the limbs bendable, chains were tangled between the joints of the leg and the hand, and the disturbing thing about the body was the eyes were gouged out, and the creepy sewn smile the face was making was enough to make people tremble.

Taehyung then steps to see something written on the body's stomach.

You're next, V

Taehyung knew he was behind all of this and couldn't help to look up to see someone on top of the building. Waving at him.

He then returned to you, bringing you somewhere else, away from all of this madness.

"Come on, Anne, we need to go right now," Taehyung pulled you away.

"Is he going to kill us next?" You suddenly asked Taehyung. He looks back at you as his eyes soften.

"No. He loves you too much to let you go like that. He thinks even death couldn't separate you both." Taehyung said. He then took his phone to give a call to someone.

"Anne, I need you to calm down and –"

"Then are you going to kill me too?" You suddenly ask, making Taehyung stop what he was doing, and looking at you.

"Anne...why – no, I'm not going to kill you, I –"

"You didn't deny Jungkook when he says you killed your grandfather," you paused, "Did you?"

Taehyung could only look away from you before a menacing glare looked its way to you. At that moment, you couldn't help to cower slightly. Your breath hitched as your legs ran away from their place.

Your legs had brought you to the main streets of the place; your head was ringing with the thought of Taehyung's malicious glint.

"Now... don't you think you know who the real devil is?"

"I don't want to see you."

"Why? Is it because I hit you with the truth bomb?"

"No. Because you killed the police officer, turning him into a living dead doll."

"Aw... Baby, that's a warning. You know I'll never hurt you in any way."

"How did you get here so quickly?"

"You could say I had some help." He walks closer. You were ready to sprint when suddenly a gunshot was heard, Jungkook, who was equally surprised, dropped as blood poured out of him.

"Jungkook..."

"Hyung..." Jungkook started to see the person who had shot him. You had thought Jungkook would put a menacing glare on his shooter, but instead, a smile latched itself to his porcelain face. He was getting paler by the second, with blood pouring out of his left abdomen.

"You miss your shot, hyung...."

"Shut up, or I'll put another."

"You were always my favourite."

You had dropped down the dirty surface, your conscious leaving your body as a shocked as it is from what had happened.

"You were always so weak, little flower, perfect prey for a predator like him. Don't worry, and I will put you back together."

You blacked out.

A/N: happy new year!!! I know I'm late, but I do have reasons. Involving a hospital don't worry it's not covid, but I needed to take a break. Besides I want to stop by and thank you for the 2k reads on this book! Horaayyy!!!
