The Killer | Taegyu

XXVI

Taehyun eyes opened, as if he have some kind strange dream. He met a unfamiliar white ceiling and cannot move his body.

Then he saw a fully bruised Soobin who is crying, the latter's tears is pouring to Taehyun's cheek. "I am so sorry— if... If I knew this would happened then I shouldn't let you meet Beomgyu anymore. I shouldn't let you be with him."

"H-" Taehyun couldn't speak as his wounds are hurting as hell, he can't move an inch. Soobin look to meet the younger's eyes, his eyes grew wide.

"Oh my gosh— oh my gosh Taehyun! After two months you— you woke up!." Soobin suddenly ran outside to call some nurse and the doctor.

Two months? I was gone for two months? What happened?

Where is Beomgyu?

Taehyun suddenly stand up, quickly removing tubes that are connecting to him not minding if his wounds would re open. He rushed to the door.

"H-Hyung, Beom— he, where is h-he?." Taehyun asked Soobin who cannot hear him. He can't even speak properly.

Soobin turned around and rushed to the younger's aid. "What the hell are you doing? Where are you going? Nurse!."

"N-No! Ack—!" Taehyun sat up and held his right stomach in pain. "B-Beomgyu where is he?."

Soobin could only watch the younger. "He left?." Taehyun look at Soobin with teary eyes.

"I— don't..." Soobin avert his gaze. He doesn't want to hurt the younger anymore.

With this cruel world, Soobin hugged Taehyun. "Are you sure you want to be with him?." Soobin asked, Taehyun nodded.

"Hyung, Namjoon... Is right." Taehyun released himself from the hug. "If I love Beomgyu, I should sacrifice. I know it is bad to become his lover, I know I am sick to keep on pushing myself to a person who committed many crimes. But... Isn't it the world who made him a criminal? Isn't it the world who made him a killer? We're merely observant who'll judge him. I wanted to become a person who could understand him."

Soobin just look at Taehyun, pushing himself to speak clearly.

"I know, it's bad. I know I am insane to love such a toxic person, but I am intoxicated by him. Hyung. I am not a selfish person, I never pushed myself to someone before. I keep my mouth shut if I want something. I never wished before. But I wanted to change for the first time. I wanted to become selfish, I wanted to become Beomgyu's world."

Taehyun stand up. "Where is Beomgyu?."

Soobin just look down, he is envious.

He is envious by the fact that Taehyun, even not waking up after two months. Even he can't speak properly, even he doesn't have enough strength. He wanted to fight for someone he loves.

Soobin can't win with that. Soobin can't protect someone who can sacrifice something, someone.

"He..." Soobin shakes his head. "He's busy."

Taehyun frowned. "Busy with?."

"Cleaning his name. After you're in comatose, he began cleaning his own name. He punished everyone who did something to him. Cleaning his father name, now he is busy on cleaning. Cleaning his own mess."

"Is he on jail—"

"No, he's not. How come he'll be in jail? He's not dumb Tae, he won't put himself into danger. The anonymous killer we knew is already dead. The public forgot him so quickly when Choi Beomgyu himself revealed himself clean." Soobin explained.
