Stuck

Chapter 27

Jisung placed his hand on my shoulder in a reassuring way, Jisung had walked out of the room leaving just me and Taeyong.

"You probably know why I brought you in here, I know it's all still fresh in your mind, so I won't ask for details." he said I sighed.

"I wont ask what exactly happened, but I want to know just as much as everyone else does, who did this to you?" he said in a low yet almost calming voice.

"Did you happen to see their face at all?" He asked, I described his face as best I could, I tried not to think too much about what he did.

"Ok, this might be pushing a little bit, you don't have to answer this question if you don't want to, but this'll help narrow it down." he said looking me in the eyes as if asking permission to go on.

I nodded, my hands were fidgeting with themselves from the nerves, he was hesitant at first, but he reached forward and placed a hand on mine.

I was surprised by the sudden contact from him, I looked up back into his eyes, I expected to see the usual cold piercing gaze.

Instead I saw soft and comforting eyes, this was a whole new side of taeyong I hadn't seen before.

I nodded after a while allowing him to go on with the question, I was subconciously fidgeting with his hand now, he didn't seem to care.

He sighed before he continued with his questions, "Can you tell me what his method was? like what he used the most?" he said.

I knew the question was going to be a sensative one, but this caught me off guard, I knew I had to answer it, I wanted them to be caught too.

Taeyong was still sitting there, his soft gaze at me, his warm hands on mine, I kept fidgeting with his hands as I spoke.

I told him what I could, trying to focus on the object rather than the actions, once I was done talking I felt a singular tear fall.

Taeyong stood up and came around on front of me, he squatted down in front of me, he handed me a tissue, and places his hands back on my hands that were now on my lap.

"You did good, I'll make sure we catch him." he said in a reassuring voice, "No one gets away with hurting someone I care about, no one." he said.

His tone changed from calming to threatening, I knew it wasn't directed at me, but it was scary how one can change in seconds.

I strangely felt safe though, even through Taeyongs threatening aura he still managed to make me feel protected.

I nodded, "You want some ice cream?" he asked, I was very confused as to why Taeyong was asking this.

I nodded anyway, I did want ice cream, he stood up and walked to his desk he opened what looked like a cabnet door, but instead it was a mini freezer.

He pulled out a small single serving tub of ice cream, he walked over to me and handed it to me, he was about to walk back to his desk but stopped and turned back towards me.

"Please don't tell anyone about that, I don't want Haechan or Hendery sneaking in and stealaing any." He said, I nodded and chuckled a bit.

"What?" he asked turning back towards me confused, "You just don't seem like the type to have a secret ice cream stash." I said taking a bite of the chocolate ice cream.

"Hey, I get cravings when I'm stressed, and if anyone knows about it, they will steal it then I wont be able to satisfy my craving, then I'll be grumpy and stressed." Taeyong said sounding frantic or slightly flustered.

I chuckled again, "You have a sweet tooth!" I was smiling at my discovery, he sighed, "What about it?" he asked, sounding almost embarassed.

"Nothing, I just wasn't expecting you to crave sweet things." I said, "What does that even mean?" he asked.

"Well, you just don't seem like the type of person to like sweet things, let alone have a secret stash of it." I said, eating more of my ice cream.

"Then what do I seem like?" he asked intrigued, "Well, you're kinda bitter, you seem like the kind of person that likes coffee with no sweetener or cream." I said.

He just looked at me and chuckled, I've never seen him even smile, "What I mean by that is that you have a very intense aura." I said.

He chuckled again, "So what you're saying is that I'm scary." he said, I shook my head denying it at first.

"No no, that's ot what I meant." I said waving my hand infront of me, he stood up and put on a straight face, he took slow yet controlled strides towards me.

I went quiet as he was right in front of me, he leaned forward and placed his hands on both arms of the chair, I tried leaning back, but the back of the chair was there.

His face was inches form mine, his eyes gazing directly into mine, "You sure?" he asked in his usual deep emotionless tone.

I tried to speak, but my voice wouldn't come out. he chuckled bafore standing back up.

"Don't worry about offending me, I want people to be scared of me, it helps in being a mafia boss, you know?" he said, I relaxed again once he backed away.

"You can relax around me though, I trust you, we all trust you, none of us would do anything to hurt you." he said going back to how he was a few seconds ago.

"One more thing, I haven't found the time to really visit you since you got back. How are you feeling?" he asked.

He really keeps throwing me off today, "I'm fine right now, Taeil has been giving me some pain meds every once in a while." I said.

He nodded, "Where does it hurt the most?" he asked giving me his full attention, "Probably my left shoulder." I said.

A/N: I wanted to give Taeyong a more fun scene.
