Oath of Desires

Chapter Ten

Driven mad by desire,

One conquers the other.

The devil whispers sweet promises

of protection and love,

Painting himself as an innocent dove.

The bottom of the standing toilet roll holder hit Jungkook square at the back of his head harshly. Taehyung had swung it with his entire body weight, mustered as much power as he could in order to get a clean and hard hit on Jungkook; he had been successful. The impact of the hit had led Jungkook's head to swing disorientedly to the side, and fall on his left side, knocking him away from [Name].

For both of his victims, the adrenaline was high; for [Name] it was completely out of absolute fear. For Taehyung, while fear did contribute to his levels of adrenaline to some extent, it was mostly out of anger – all of his anger. He was angry at Jungkook for playing with their lives like it was some sort of sick joke, and for all the trauma he had forced on him and [Name], from which how and when, or even if they would ever recover from. Taehyung was frustrated at how helpless he had been during this predicament. Due to this helplessness, he could not have protected himself, [Name], and possibly their baby any sooner. He was aggravated at the guilt and remorse that overpowered him for treating [Name] like shit in the first place, and ever even thinking of cheating on her. He was angry, so angry over everything and he was so worried for [Name] –

[Name], the word was whispered in his ears – the whisper as distant as the first note sung by a siren before it lured its victim to its clutches. Then, another whisper, and this time, it was more entrancing.

[Name], [Name], [Name], it got louder, and Taehyung's gaze snapped towards her. She was frozen in shock on the floor, and did not even twitch a single muscle of her body. The colour of her face was completely drained away, and her pupils were widely dilated.

Then, as if he lost the voluntary control of his body abruptly and completely, Taehyung's legs trembled for few seconds. Afterwards, his knees completely gave up on him, the toilet paper roll holder fell out of his hands, and he fell on the floor, gasping. He was on the verge of a commencement of an attack. However, it never occurred because Taehyung forced himself to take long breaths.

Once he calmed himself down, and trusted himself to be well enough to not break down right then and there, he crawled over to [Name]. Weakly, he lifted the upper half of her body into a sitting position, before he embraced her tightly.

The warmth of Taehyung's touch seeping into her cold skin was her awakening into the reality from her fear-stricken-shock-state.

Like sleep after caffeine wears off, [Name]'s emotions, stress, and everything else hit her all at once. Tears welled in the corner of her eyes, and began to roll down her cheeks heavily. Her lips quivered, and she turned Taehyung, before digging her face into his chest. She clutched his shirt tightly, and loud sobs escaped past her lips.

Taehyung patted her head, and kissed the top of it reassuringly. As doing so, few tears of his own fell from his eyes. He hugged her tighter, and clutched her shirt the way she was doing with his.

"It's okay [Name], its over. Its over, Jungkook won't be hurting us anymore, he'll never hurt us. Not only him, but no one will ever hurt you ever again. I won't let them! I promise I'll always protect you," Taehyung vowed, and he tightened his grip on [Name] to the point where it was almost painful.

Amidst her sobbing, [Name] paused and looked up at Taehyung with teary eyes. She opened her mouth to form a reply, however no words slipped past her lips. Not even the sound of their breathing left their lungs. The beat of their hearts began to beat louder, and harder in their ears and against their rib cage with each beat.

Both [Name] and Taehyung froze as Jungkook let out a groan, and his fingers twitched. [Name] was too mortified, and she was able to do nothing but began trembling in fear. However Taehyung, he was not scared.

He was in raged.

Before Jungkook could even exhale his next breath, Taehyung was quick to be on his feet. The last of the fight from his fight or flight response pumped through him; he pushed [Name] aside carelessly, grabbed onto the standing toilet paper holder he had discarded before, and smashed the end of it on Jungkook's head hard, just like his first hit.

Then, he became indulged, and lost himself to his rage. Taehyung started to continuously hit Jungkook with all that he had, until there blood started forming at the back of Jungkook head.

In that moment, as Taehyung continued to beat the defenseless Jungkook senseless, he was a tyrant in [Name]'s eyes.

[Name] watched Taehyung as he brought down one hit after another to unleash his rage on Jungkook's head. With each hit that ran in a slow motion scene in front of her eyes, her breath quickened. More and more, Taehyung raged, [Name]'s breath quickened, and the vigorously ferocious expression on his face became imprinted in [Name]'s memory. Her stress levels manifested, and she felt the contents of her stomach on her tongue. Her chest was tightening, and her head started to spin. Black dots clouded her vision, and with Taehyung's murderous expression etched in her mind, and sounds of Jungkook skull getting fractured echoing in her ears, she passed out
