The next events that follow are too hard to describe— there are lights and tall figures hovering over you as you feel your soul being stripped bare and examined, hands revolving your memories as you writhe in blind pain. The thought of Taehyung is the only thing keeping you sane as you repeat his name over and over, begging for them not to take him away, to take your name if they want, but not the image of him or the sound of his laugh.
You don't know how long it takes them to let you go. Might have been minutes, might have been hours. But sooner or later your mind's finally left untouched, and Taehyung is still there, and you can only cry in relief even though there aren't any tears clouding your eyes.
When i open my eyes yes again you're in Taehyung's room, and there aren't any traces of him anywhere.
I swallow thickly, the illusion of a headache making you feel slightly dizzy as you look around with a frantic look on your face. His room looks as messy as it always has, but there's something missing, and the inability to pinpoint the subtle difference almost drives you crazy, eyes finding the darkness outside of the window before you settle your gaze on Taehyung's desk.
His phone is there, left completely untouched, the screen shining as it shows five missed calls from his father.
The next thing you notice makes all the air you were holding escape your mouth in a trembling breath.
"Taehyung," you mutter, feet staggering as you try not to lose what little sanity you have left. "Shit, shit." your hands shake as your mind finally makes sense of the situation: they found out, they took you away, they punished you and took away the only thing that made Taehyung escape from the dark shadows.
I try to materialize, but it's completely useless. You're not surprised, but it still puts a pressure on your chest that you can't get away from, almost asphyxiating. It makes you want to disappear even though you're already invisible, like the soft breeze that barely manages to make the leaves flutter.
"Tae," you whisper, leaving his room to face the darkness of the empty house as you float downstairs. I run out and see a dead body lying under taehyung balcony. "Tae," you repeat, voice breaking.
You didn't think you'd find him so fast, but your eyes widen at the sight of recognizing the dead body bleeding to his death, its been 5 hours and taehyung's body turned purple, i felt like i couldn't breath.
"dahyun," a deep voice echoing as it breaks the stillness my cries. "im sorry"
