Back to Hoseok's place

Areum's P.O.V

Knock Knock

" Yes?"

" Taehyung, it's me." After dinner I go straight to Taehyung's room to talk.

He opens the door for me. " Want some coffee?" I smile

" You're a lifesaver you know? I was feeling a little bit dizzy. I was about to ask you to make me one. Thanks a lot! You understand me so well!!" I look at him. Who'll tell him that I let myself to forget about me just to understand him. No one in this world understands you more than me Taehyung.

Not even your long lost love.

" Which is the reason I'm the one to take care of you." I give him a mug and sit on his bed..

" So Taehyung. How are you feeling right now??" I ask

He takes a sip." Mmm after taking a sip. A lot better. What about you??"

"Me?? It feels like I'm just living in someone else's dream. Who'll forget about me the moment he'll wake up." He narrows his eyes. " What are you talking about Areum?"

" Nothing. I'm here to talk about your session." I place the mug on the side table.

" You just took one. Didn't you say that it'd take weeks to start another one?"

" Yes I said, but it's not that much harder. I'll just talk with you."

" So what are you doing right now?? Singing?" He chuckles and takes another sip.

"I gave you everything, baby, everything I had to give

Girl, why would you push me away? yeah

Lost in confusion, like an illusion

You know I'm used to making your day

But that is the past now, we didn't last now

I guess that this is meant to be, yeah

Tell me was it worth it? We were so perfect"

" Huh?"

" Nothing. I just sang." I smile and hide my face from him to wipe the tears formed in my eyes. " Anyway. what I was saying. I'm gonna polish your memory now. Will that be okay?"

" It's too late now. Can we do it tomorrow??" He says

" You know. People remember those things before going to sleep that run in their mind all day, but they keep themselves too busy to let it affect them. But when it's night they want to take a rest, at that moment those memories haunt them, which is the reason people face depression, anxiety, even insomnia. And I know you've insomnia too. So my suggestion to people is that, if we talk about these things with someone, even ourselves. We can let go of those memories, and form some good memories in that place. I hope you understand what I'm saying."

" You really a psychiatrist huh? You understand people very well." He smiles

" But there's no one to understand me. Anyway, now tell me about something I don't know." I take the mug in my hand

" Which is."

" What were you doing when you left the asylum?"

" How is this coming at this point?" He asks

" Taehyung, I'm here to reform your memory. Not to be with you as your mentor for the lifetime. I've people to answer. It's been nearly a year that I've been working with you but nothing is coming, because I prepared you to be able to face anything that is gonna come in between. And it seems like now you're ready. So I don't want to make you suffer anymore. I can't see my patient in this state for so long." I snap.

He lowers his head and sighs." Yeah. I'm your patient and your burden which you want to take off as soon as possible." He places the mug on the ground.

" Taehyung I-"

" I went to my company." He stops me. I didn't want to hurt him, but I had to.

" Then? What happened there?"

" I couldn't enter the company. I heard my manager is taking care of the company." What?? Maya is his manager, and she's at least not in a position where she could handle a whole company. Then who's taking care of everything?

" But then I found out my manager was nowhere to be found. So my company is not being taken care of by anyone I know of, and a couple is now running the company." He says

" A couple?"

" Yes!. They showed that they've papers that if something happens to the owner of the company, which is me, then they'll be the owner of the company." I don't even need a genius mind to guess who these people are. I got an idea already.

" Then?"

" Then I started to roam around the whole country because I thought I would eventually find my home somewhere."

" Taehyung, as far as I know you are broke as hell. How did you get that much money that you started roaming the whole country?" He startles by my question. Mostly he wasn't expecting me to ask something like this.

" I- I had mo-money with m-me. Who do you t-think I'm. A beggar??"

"Taehyung. Your dresses, even your underwear that you wore when you got admitted in the asylum. I've everything in my closet. This asylum gave you new clothes while I've kept your old ones." He coughs a little after I confessed something like this.

" Well." He gulps.

" Spill"

" istolefromyourcloset" He murmurs

" I'm sorry what?"

" istolefromyourcloset"

" Taehyung what the fu-"

" I stole from your closet!!" He squeezes his eyes and spills.

" Wha- Taehyung??? Wha-How. Why? When?"

" When you told me to leave. So before I leave the asylum. I.. umm.. I went to your chamber and-"

" Wait a minute. You don't know which one is my chamber, forget about my closet. Then how?" I interrupt him. He actually didn't visit my chamber back then.

" Is it even a question? I checked the list hanging on the wall. Your room was opened. I don't know why. I opened your drawer but found nothing. So I had to check on your bag, and found the key. I saw the 2nd drawer and put the key in the lock, and it worked. and.." He's trying so hard not to look at me but eventually he does, which is throwing daggers at him.

He sighs and directly looks at me. " Look, I know it's not a good deed, but I had to because at least I knew that I wouldn't survive a day without money outside. So I had to. I-I'm sorry"

" I'm amazed, you know. You controlled your mind and thought something logical. Very good Taehyung." He looks at me weirdly. Having the mind that can't even proces a day, and come to a state where using it to think how to survive. I'm actually amazed that he even thought in this way. Who used to roam without knowing what to do, at least he thought about the upcoming event he'd be facing.

" So you're telling me you're not angry at me."

" I've never said I'm not, but the thing is I appreciate that you thought about it. Anyway what's done is done. But where did you go after your little trip?"

" I actually didn't know where I should go. I tried so hard to remember my home address or where I should go. and I-I."

" You?" He starts breathing heavily.

He looks at me. Hesitating if he should say it or not. I clear my throat and come a little bit close to him, and hold his hand." You can trust me Taehyung. I'm never gonna judge you, nor ask you about anything. I set you free and whatever you did shows me how you survived. Seriously Tae. I'm expecting the worst from you, and I know you will make me wrong. Besides, if you won't tell me I won't know how to show you the way right?" He sighs and looks away from me.

" I-I don't know how but I went to a house where nobody lives. I was so tired that I fall asleep, and when I was sleeping I-I-"

" You had a dream." I say.

" Yeah!! How did you-"

" What was the dream??"

He looks at me in shock, and gulps a little. " I was roaming in that house or searching for something, or someone. It was too dark for me. I was looking for.. someone. But I can't form the image of that someone. It felt like I kept something valuable there."

" Then?"

" I-I don't know Areum I was im-imagining like someone was d-d-yying there, and asking for my help but I couldn't help them, because I was tied with a ch-chair!!" His eyes roam here and there. He's trying to focus so hard to tell me but can't form them in words. I take a deep breath.

" Let me guess then." He looks at me

" You went to that house where we found you. You thought you might find something to give you some ideas what the fuck was going on. But what you got was your past that was haunting you. You didn't want to leave that place, because you thought all was just a dream, which was actually a dream to you, but you thought it was real. You wanted to come back but couldn't because of me. You thought I might kill you for not listening to me. Or I might hurt you in a brutal way." He looks at me widely. and I just smile, and take a sip from my coffee

" Areum.. Did you spy on me?" This time I chocked so hard, that I started coughing..

" Hey easy.. Easy.. What happened?" He started caressing my back, and I calmed down a little

" Nothing.. It's like you think this much low of me made me choke.."

" Oh really? you know I know many other ways that can make you choke.." He grinned..

" Gggeeezzz Taehyung for fuck sake what happened to you??!!" I shout.

He laughs. " Why? Didn't you like it when I came close to you?"

I look at him softly. " That was you showing me your dominance. That meant nothing to me." I start cleaning myself.

" Really?? Those things mean nothing to you? " He asks

" Nah. I understand you didn't trust me that time so you had to do those. Why would that mean anything to me??" I look down pretending to clean my clothes , not giving him a chance to see my face

He doesn't utter a word after that. Silence fills the whole room. We both get lost out of words. So I try to break the ice. " Anyway what I was-" I look up to talk but suddenly he comes so close to me and holds my face.

" Taehyung I-"

" Do I really mean nothing to you?" He roams in my eyes, looking for the unspoken words. Again that stare, that fucking eyes that makes me weak every fucking time. With so much emotion, looking at me like I'm the only thing he has in this world.

I get lost in his eyes. I really feel weak in front of him. He may be the only person who can make me weak just by looking at me. But I control myself. I can't let this happen again.

" Why? Do I mean something to you?" I ask.

He blinks sometimes. He gets off guard by my sudden question. If he really wants my answer, then he has to answer my question 1st.

" I-I ummm well."

" Tell me Taehyung. Do you feel your inner war become a little bit faded when you look at me? Do you feel like I may be the reason that you can still survive? Do you ever feel like maybe I'm the one that might heal you? Or maybe I'm the one who can make you feel those things you've never felt?? hmm?" He looks at me not being able to answer any of that.

I chuckled softly.. " If you don't feel like this for me, then why do you expect I would feel the same for you? This might sound harsh, but this is the truth.. I'm just your mentor Taehyung.. Maybe you felt something once, but that just a fling nothing else. Do you know why I chose this line for my career?" He shook his head..

" I don't feel anything.. Which is perfect for my job.. It might sound weird but believe it or not.. I actually feel nothing for anyone.. I buried all of this long ago before you came into my life.. So it's not new to me.. I'm sorry if I give you any hints like this, but I feel nothing for anyone.."

" Not even for you." He lowers his head and releases my face.. I grit my teeth to control myself..

We both don't look at each other, looking in space. Processing what the fuck happened just now. I take a deep breath and sigh." It's late. We'll talk tomorrow." I take the coffee mugs to leave when he suddenly calls me.

" Areum." I look back

" Hmm yeah."

He stands up and comes close to me." Can I ask you something??"

" What is it?"

" Tomorrow make me remind every fucking things I forgot.. I don't give a fuck how much pain I've to bear.. I need to know everything.. And I mean it.. Everything.." I wide my eyes. What??

" You sure about it?"

" Mhmm" He nods

" Be ready at 9 tomorrow then." With that I turn my heels back and leave the room.

Burrying this idea in us that all of this time we both were lying to each other..

-------------------------------------------

Next Day at 9 in the Morning

I go to Taehyung's room to call him, but I don't find him in the room

" Taehyung?" I call out his name but no one responds. I wait a bit thinking he may be in the washroom, but he's not even there. I decide to leave the room, then I see a paper laying lifelessly on the bed. I take the paper.

" I'm waiting for you in the backyard."

I close my eyes. Suddenly I feel an unknown feeling after reading the line. I felt something else inside me. Like he's waiting for me. He's desperate to see me. I'm desperate to be in his arms. We both found our long lost love. When I open my eyes, a simple smile forms in my lips, which fades the moment reality stabs me in a million different ways. I slide the paper in my pocket and go to the backyard.

It doesn't take much time to find him. He's standing in front of the house.

" Taehyung, " I call him, as he turns back.

He gives me the best smile he can hold. Warming my inside like the first ray of sunshine this world gets every day. In my dark life, he's just like that. The sunshine that is slowly removing the darkness from my life.

Which is temporary of course...

His smile fades away the moment he looks at me closely.

" Areum."

" Why are you here? We could talk in your room. Is anything wrong?" I ask.

" Yes.. Your face." He scans my whole face closely. " There are new bruises here."

Shit.

Suddenly I remembered last night. Fuck!! I totally forgot about it. " Well it's not new. I got it yesterday while working." I remove some strands of hair from my face, and suddenly Taehyung holds my hand.

" Your hand.. What is this Areum?! Your sleeves soaked with blood!?? Areum what the fuck is this??" He starts shouting at me.

" It's not serious. Taeh-"

" Shut up!!" I flinch." How could you be so careless huh? Your hands are literally bleeding and you're saying it's not serious!!! Come sit here!!" He drags me and makes me sit on the bench.

" Wait here. I'm coming with the first aid box. I want you to be here when I come back. Got it?" He orders me and I can't help just looking at him. I see him running inside at a light speed.

I knit my brows. Nothing is making sense. What happened to him all of a sudden?? He literally made me bleed once, and now he's getting worried because I'm bleeding?? Looks like I won't ever understand him properly.

After sometime he comes back with a box, and sits beside me. " Roll up your sleeve."

" Taehyung it's okay I can-"

" Do what I say or you know what I can do." He glares

I sigh, and roll up the sleeve. He takes it and widens his eyes. " What the hell is this Areum?? How come you've these many scars in your hand? Wait!! Are you like those psycho girlfriends that used to blackmail their boyfriends to be with her or they might kill themselves??" I look at him and chuckle. " Maybe I am."

" Lie." He takes some cotton, and soaks it with alcohol.

I scoff at his words. He doesn't have any fucking idea, of how much I've lied to him. He'll never have. I smirk and start to observe him.

" You should be careful, Areum. Nobody gonna do that for you." He starts to dump the cotton in my wound and blows air through his mouth. " Is it stinging?" He looks at me softly and I shake my head

" Of course it does. Stop lying okay? It won't work." Suddenly I feel my eyes falling. Suddenly I start to feel emptiness. A deep painful emptiness inside my rib cage. A breathe suddenly escaped from my mouth which feel like was caged for a long time

" Now care to tell me how this happened??" He looks at me. Shoot! What'll I say now??

Flashback

Last night

I ran fast to my room and locked the door. All of the time I tried to control myself. I'm a human being too. I have my boundaries. Why was he doing this to me? He met his lost love days ago, and now asking me if he meant something to me?? I fucking made him my everything which is cursing me every fucking second!! What did he think of him? Would he play with my feelings like this? Every time. Every fucking time he showed me I was nothing compare to him. He'd do anything with me, and I thought he had something for me but no. If he did then he couldn't stay silent when I asked him if he had any feelings for me.

I burst into tears, I was sobbing hard, I couldn't even scream for fuck sake. The mugs I had in my hand I threw it somewhere that shattered in pieces. I couldn't think of anything properly. Also this fucking headache was killing me since morning. And my eyesight was making me blind. FUCK IT!!

I got an idea that I was about to have an attack, and it was not strange to me. I'd literally be proud of myself that I actually didn't even make that thing to consume me. but as I had nothing to do. It'd show me its dominance.

I was too tired. Not physically, but mentally. One, knowing Taehyung's past that literally killed me, and two, Taehyung was behaving like this because he wanted to know if he meant something to me. Why would I make him realize that? He wasn't mine, now he'd ever be so why would I be his??

I didn't even know how to control myself, so I had to hurt myself again. I was roaming by my hand to find something that might help me, but I hissed because a piece of glass straight went to my flesh.

I looked at it, but saw nothing but I felt some liquid running from my hand. Good.

I took the glass and pressed it in my flesh harshly. I hissed in pain but stayed still. I even didn't know what I did to myself in between because my mind was blank, my heart was broken, and my body had given up. I literally became a piece of trash just in some hours.

Maybe I bleed way too much that I passed out. And when I woke up it was already morning. I looked at my arm and saw some dried blood stopped the bleeding.

I got up and freshened up. I kept my wound open so that it healed quickly, but I didn't realize it would start to bleed again.

Present time

" I-I actually.. went to.. kitchen to put the mugs, but I got cut by.. a knife by accident." I clear my throat.

"Hmm.. You know Areum you're too bad at lying." He wraps the wound with a bandage and looks at me.

I just chuckle. If he gets even a fucking idea that my whole existence is a lie in front of him.. He may gets another panic attack

(Stop the previous one, and play this one and turn on the loop, please)

" We're here for something I hope you remember."

" Yes I'm.. I myself told you for this.."

" Okay then.. " I get up and take my bag from the ground I brought earlier with me. I open it and bring out something.

" What is this?" He asks.

" You know Taehyung. Sometimes I need to keep data on my patients but I mess up all the time. Can you help me?? " I come forward to him with a book. He takes it and I actually give him something to do with it.

" What am I gonna do with this?" He asks

" You'll point out the feelings you feel after you see the dreams. Recently you're saying you feel light headed after every dream. So note it down for me.." He looks at me for a second, and starts writing on the diary

" Bitch hurry up!!" He gets so focused on writing but gets distracted by my voice. He looks at me and is about to shout back but he stops. His eyes becomes small

" Did anyone call you by this? Taehyung?" I ask and he nods a little.

" Can you remember the face?" I bent down to face him. But he shakes his head.

" Anyway. But imagine a life where you are left all alone. Where you can't even go outside, because you're under someone's dominance. You wanted to leave but can't. What you've is a family where you can't find peace because your peace is somewhere else. You've started to have some experience that you eventually forget after some time, and when you want to remember it, your mind curses you with a headache which is unbearable. Related enough?? " He again shakes his head and I shrug

" No problem." I smile and again take my bag. I bring something out in front of him, and his eyes widens

" Do you know what this is?" He looks at me and gulps.

" I-I-I'm "

" Close your eyes Taehyung." I slide my palm over his eyes, closing them.

" You know right why this is used for hmm? Something coming in your vision? Taehyung." I whisper near his ear. and start caressing his body with this.

" Someone, somebody. taught you how to use this, somebody showed you how much pleasure can this bring? Some even used this on you.. Do you want to feel that again??"

" NOOOOOO!!!" He opens his eyes and screams.

I come directly in front of his face, and look into his eyes. " You were tied. You were in a room where you are a product which can make people excited. Or should I say. Sexually excited." I smirk.

He starts breathing heavily. " No.. No.. No.. I-I L-le-leave me."

" You were watching some people having the best time of their life. Where you were screaming for something, but they were taking it as fun. Your scream, you cry, you pain is giving then the excitement that they had ever wante-"

" NOOOO FUCK STOOOPPPPPPPP!!!! STOPPP ITTT AAAAAAA STOPP IT NO NO FUCKING STOP IT!!" He starts screaming while holding his ears with his hands, trying to not listen to these

" You were the witness of all of those things. How those people used to take drugs, how they used to drink all the fucking day, and force you to do that too. No one was there to help you, you were all alone Taehyung. You were all alone."

He looks at me and grits his teeth. He groans and suddenly he holds my throat and drags me on the ground. He hovers over me, and starts putting pressure on my throat. " I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU TODAY!!! I TOLD YOU TO STOP!!! YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT HAS THIS AUDACITY TO DISOBEY ME?? I'LL RIP OFF YOUR THROAT TODAY!!" And I realize I woke up to his hidden beast for the 1st time.

" AREUM!!!!" I hear Namjoon Oppa, and Hobi shouts from the door. Somehow they heard his scream and came here. They are about to come to us, but I signal them not to. And at least out of everyone, these people will understand why I've stopped them.

I just smile. " They used to punish you like this Taehyung. Killing me won't make you remember them." I have been in this type of situation many times. Last time Maya did this, but for the 1st time Taehyung showed me how brutal he could be.

"SHUT UP I'LL SERIOUSLY KILL YOU I'M NOT JOKING.!!!" He literally has lost it. Some veins formed on his forehead. His eyes became red. He could even kill me now. I wouldn't be surprised .

" K-kill me if you want.. But you know w-what Taehyung. You're a co-co-coward. yes you're. Killing me won't change your past Taehyung.. You w-were the one who told me no matter what happens I m-must remind you everything, and now you become a coward and want to k-kill me huh? Kill me Tae-Taehyung.. Fucking kill me.. This is how it'll prove all of the fucking time those people were right that you can't fight back.." I chuckled, and he was fuming.. Gosh he's looking so fucking sexy right now!!!

" You really want to die huh?" I smirk and nod. He presses his lips together and puts the last pressure on my throat and loses his grip. No way in hell he'll kill me. My fear will be his strength, which I didn't give him.

I cough a lot, I take some deep breaths. He'll literally kill me today. " I'm telling you for the last time. Do you want to continue?" I know he won't listen to me. His demon consumes him totally, and this is the right time for me to tell him everything.

" I don't know." He's panting heavily.

I look back at my hyungs, and tell them to leave, but they deny. So I signal them that no matter what happens, they won't meddle between us. They look at each other hesitantly, but nod. They know what I'm gonna do. I'm lucky that Yoongi Oppa isn't here

I take my phone and show him a picture.

He looks at it and calms down a little. He knits his brows and looks at me. " Does this belong to you??" His pupil shakes

I get up, and take my bag, and bring out a packet. and bring it in front of him." I hope it'll help."

His eyes wide, as he looks at me. I sit beside him and give him the necklace Y/N found from that house. " How did-How did you have this??" His eyes are not showing any wrath. I can feel my Taehyung.. Well the ordinary Taehyung came back. His breath becomes normal. " Well I found this from the house we found you. But I don't know the story behind it. And without it. I can't make you remember everything. Try to remember Taehyung. What is this necklace meant for?"

" Whom does this necklace belong to?"

" Why is it connected with you?" He closes his eyes while knitting his brows

" Why did this necklace make you think of someone?"

" How did this mean so much to you?"

" Whom this necklace belongs to Taehyung?" He starts panting heavily.

" Whom does this necklace belong to??"

" Whom Taehyung??"

" Whom??"

" MAYAAAAA!!!! "  He shot opened his eyes

I smirk and look back at hyungs. Both of them look at me and smile, with a silent clap. It's clear already that Hobi told everything to Namjoon Oppa, so he didn't even react that much.

" Deep breath Tae.. Inhale... Exhale.." I start to massage his back to calm him down.

" Now.. Who's Maya Taehyung? " He calms down

" Maya.. Maya is.. Maya.. Maya" He can't form the word so I say something, which basically feels like I stab myself.

" Love of your life? Your everything? The one who means the most to you? The one who dragged you out of your living hell? The one whom you are about to make your wife??" I gulp and he looks at me. Tears form in his eyes, which is another stab to me.

" Where's Maya?? " He whispers.

I smile. " She's healing from something."

He gets confused. " Mean?"

" There's so many things you need to remember, Taehyung. Do you still want to continue?"

" I 'm not gonna step back until I know the whole truth." He says seriously.

" Okay then." I sigh.

I take a deep breath. I hesitate a lot whether I ask him or not. But eventually I made my decision.

" Stab." I say.

" Huh? "

" Stab "

" Stab."

" Stab "

" Taehyung. Can you imagine Maya's face?"

" How can I forget about the one whom I treated as my life." I sigh and look other ways.

Focus Areum.

I look at him. " Then close your eyes and form her face." He does as I say. I can see a sweet smile forming in his lips. His face becomes soft. This smile is my strength, but it belongs to someone else..

" Maya.. The girl who stole your heart. Who left her everything just to be with you. Who brought out your best version. Who was about to be your wife, but couldn't." His smile fades a little.

" Taehyung, is it possible that Maya can be a rebel? If it is." I bring my mouth near his ear and whisper. " Imagine Maya stabbing someone."

" She's screaming, her lower body covered with blood. She's showing no mercy. Can you imagine Taehyung??"

His face fills with confusion. He wrinkles his eyes, his lips parted for the short breaths he's taking. He's thinking a lot but his face eases a little, and he nods.

" Give me a name Taehyung. A name that you want to vanish from this world. A name."

He took some time and finally said it.

" Jack Harvey.. "

I sigh and move from his face and smile. " May I know who this is??"

" Someone I want to kill by my own hand " He grits his teeth

" Why? "

" Because. "

" Because?? "

He tries so hard to calm himself down. I can easily see by his face expression that he wants to curse, he wants to fucking rip off that person's head, but he can't actually because Jack isn't here. I try to speak for him but then he speaks.

" He...he... He... HE FUCKING RUINED MY LIFE!!! HE FUCKING RAPED MAYA IN FRONT OF ME... I'LL FUCKING KILL HIM!!!! " He started screaming, and I let him..

" HE RUINED MY LIFE!!! HE DESTROYED ME!!! I LOST EVERYTHING FOR THIS FUCKING JACK!!! HE.. HE.. RAPED MY MAYA. My Maya. He FUCKING TRIED TO KILL HER. I LOST MY MAYA BECAUSE OF HIM. I LET HER DIE BECAUSE OF HIM. I'LL KILL HIM."

" How do you become so sure that she's dead?? "

" I fucking watched her body become a corpse.."

" WHAT??"

Flashback

The day Taehyung and Maya ran away from Jack

Taehyung's P.O.V

I was running while carrying Maya. I was so tired, because Jack beat the shit out of me, while Maya couldn't even walk properly. We were praying to Lord, somehow He saved us that day but maybe it was destined for us to be apart.

Suddenly I felt a huge pain in my head. Someone hit my head harshly, and I fell down. While Maya slipped and rolled over a little bit away from me.

I was dragging my whole body despite having so much pain, but someone held my leg and made me face them. I didn't know who they were but they started beating me until I passed out.

When I woke up I couldn't even move my head.. My whole body was aching a lot. I opened my eyes and saw I was in a room. tied with a chair...

I tried to remember how I ended up here. What happened? Slowly everything came to my memory. How I was drugged by my PA. How I ended up in a house. How Maya. How she was tortured in front of me. How she stabbed Jack, and how I was running with her.

I was thinking so hard when the room door swung open. I couldn't see properly, there were no lights in that room. Some bulbs which are about to break down are giving their last part of energy by beeping the lights now and then. But I saw a slighthout was coming slowly in front of me. That person couldn't walk properly. But when the person came in front of me. My eyes widened.

" Hi Taehyung.. Good to see you here.." Jack smirked..

My eyes became red. I was fuming with rage. I could kill this fucking piece of shit right now. Just let them untie me. I gritted my teeth, and was breathing heavily.

" Easy tiger. Control your breath. You might need a lot of it fella. Because as you can see. you don't have any fucking idea where you are. Neither do I." He laughed

" But anyway.. I've invited some guests here.. Until then let's kill some time shall we? " He chuckled

" What do you want from me?? " I tried to calm myself down. Because I couldn't do anything as I'm captivated.

" Me?? Lol boy. What I've wanted I already got it. I drag you here because my guests wanted to meet with you personally. And about what I wanted. I wanted all of the things you've ever achieved. The company. I was about to be the owner, but you brainwashed that fucking old hag and bought for you. But the thing is once I put my eyes on something. No matter what, I'm gonna make that mine." He came close to my face. " Even if it is for a person." He smirked.

" Believe me boy.. I never ever get this much satisfaction what Maya gave me.. Ah fuck I'm already missing her.. She's fucking sexy as hell.. Fuck I'm getting turned on again.." He started moaning..

" SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! " I screamed and he looked at me.

" I assume you guys fucked more than thousand time before me. Still she was so tight uff. I feel pity for you that you can't even make her satisfied with whatever you've.." He chuckled.

" Jack, I'm warning you. Shut the fuck up."

" Or else? What you'll do ha?? Don't forget you're tied up. Besides, you were tied up when I was satisfying your fiancé. She won't admit but I know she fucking loved it."

That's it. I kicked him so hard that he fell on the ground.

" WHAT THE FUCK?? YOU BUSTARD!!!" He was about to get up but a voice stopped him.

" Easy Jack. I'm here okay?? I'll do the rest. Don't worry."

I looked at the voice owner and my eyes widened. I thought Jack was messing with us but.

" Long time no see Son.." My father smirked

" I hope you didn't forget about your lovely Mom." My mother came front from behind him

How could they get out of jail?? They were sentenced to lifetime in prison.

Dad came in front of me. " I know you must be so confused. I'm here to clear the cloud boy. Don't worry."

" You know the world revolves around a thing. Money.. Yes son.. You can do anything if you have money. You can be anything. No matter what it is. If you've money. Nobody's gonna fuck with you. and guess what."

He came close to me. " I came out of jail with that money."

" Honey let me talk with my son okay?? He's not only your son. He's mine too." She bent down and started caressing my cheek.

" Awww I missed you so much baby.. I was really missing my child, that I had to do the process again and again with your Dad, You know na my boy how we made you? How we let you come in this world.."

" Fucking stay away from me! You guys disgust me! I even feel disgusted just by thinking you are my parents. I pray not even my own enemy gets parents like you. " I shoved her hand away from my face.

She smirked. " We disgust you?? Then let me show you what actual disgust feels like." With that she slapped me hard.

Dad came and pulled my hair harshly. " We disgust you huh?? You feel ashamed of us?? Now you'll realize how much disgust we feel to call you as our son." He started punching my face until I bled. He started punching my abdomen too harshly.

" Calm down guys.. We are not here to tickle him.." Jack stood up and came to me.. " I told you before, boy. Don't meddle with me, but you did. But my desire was fucking your fiancé. My part is done, so I'm feeling a little concern for you. So we won't kill you right now."

" What the fuck you're saying?? We can't keep him alive." My own mother said.

" Let me go.. Please. Let me go.. I need to find her. I beg you.. You've got everything you've wanted. Please let me go." They all looked at me.

" Oh sure we will." With that Jack came behind me and started losing the rope.

Something was very fishy. When he was done. I was about to get up then suddenly he pushed me on the ground. After that they started kicking me, beating me so hard that I couldn't keep my senses for more than 5 minutes and passed out.

When I woke up. I was again in the jungle. I didn't have any strength in me to get up. I didn't know how much time I was there lying lifelessly. Anybody might think I died but I was breathing fine.

I didn't know how many days passed before I would get some strength and I woke up. I started to roam around the jungle. Was trying to find a way which will let me find Maya. I didn't eat properly, sleep properly. I just wanted to find the way.

At some point I saw some lights, and some houses. I thought I was coming back to my home, but when I knocked on the door. Everybody says that's not my house. I asked them which way I should go to find the right way. They were looking at me with so much fear that I might haunt him.

One day I was again roaming around the jungle. I eventually forgot why I was there in the 1st place. But then I found something.

I found the necklace you showed me. I didn't recognize it at 1st place but when I did. I was crying like hell. I was looking everywhere to see. I knew Maya was there . Until I saw a house.

I didn't think anything and ran inside the house only to see.

" Maya's dead body "

I couldn't even believe how to react. I was fucking roaming the jungle to find her, and when I did. I couldn't save her.

I burst out crying. I couldn't take it anymore. And that time I heard something inside me. Who started consuming me. I thought I was imagining things because I felt like this so many times that once I actually forgot who I am, where I am, What I'm doing.

My mind went blank. I couldn't see anything properly. I looked at Maya and went over to her. I started to caress her face. Somehow her face was ruined, that no one could guess her actual face. I looked at her whole body. She was wearing a beautiful cardigan with a sky blue skirt. She's so beautiful. I looked at her hand. I could see her ring finger. The ring fitted her so perfectly. I took it and kissed her hand.

After a day... My body totally gave up, and my mind started controlling me, what it meant by your words. I went to her again.. Already she started smelling bad, but to me she's still the most beautiful girl in my eyes.. I took her hand.. I tried to remove the ring. but it was stuck in her finger.. So I twisted her finger.. but still it didn't come out.. So I took a sharp metallic thing from the ground and harshly cut her finger. When I looked at it, I started laughing like a maniac..

My laugh became scream. I didn't even know what to say so I screamed my lungs out. but still it wasn't enough. I again moved forward to her body, I started stabbing her clothes. At some point I slid her skirt. and started stabbing it. The more I stabbed the more I felt peace. The more I could calm down my headache.

Until one day some people came here and dragged me to your so-called asylum, you considered saying hell.

End of Flashback

Areum's P.O.V

"I let her die, and rotted her while I couldn't do anything. I lost my company. I lost everything. I lost Maya. I've nothing with me, Areum. She was my everything, but I let her die. I couldn't save her. I let her be a piece of trash." He starts crying silently

I take a deep breath and wipe my tears. I only heard Maya's side of story, but never have I ever realized Taehyung felt much worse than that. But not anymore.

" Who told you Maya's dead?? "

He looks at me . " WHAT??? "

I sigh. " When I told you she's healing from something. I wasn't joking." His eyes widens.

" Areum. Are- " His voice shakes

I smile and nod. " All of the things I've told you. Did you really think I knew it by myself?? Is there anyone else who knows your story more than you and.. Your Maya? "

" Areum."

" It's time." I wipe off his tears.

" About what?? " He asks and I tear my gaze from him.

" To bring your Maya back to you.."
