Fracture S3 [Taekook]

• Mental Trauma •

"Jungkook, please don't do this!!" Taehyung drops to his knees, gripping the sides on Jungkook's hips, preventing him from stepping into a park filled with people who are just minding their business and living their lives.

Taehyung had no idea what Jungkook meant when he said he was going to drown him in a sea of insanity. He figured Jungkook was going to torture him or lock inside a closet again. But when Jungkook grabbed a large knife and tucked it away inside his jacket, then forced Taehyung into the car with him, that's when the brunette realized what Jungkook really meant. 

The entire car ride to the park was filled with Taehyung pleading and sobbing for Jungkook to change his mind, but the psycho was unmoved by his attempts or his tears. 

"Look Taehyung, our first prey of the night." Jungkook surveys the landscape, his attention caught on a woman jogging down a trail. It's already dark outside, and the trail she's on is dimly lit, a perfect setting for a kill. 

Taehyung sees where Jungkook's attention is caught, feeling his chest cave in with anxiety. "Jungkook, let's go home! Please don't-"

Jungkook is already moving, and he drags Taehyung with him, telling the brunette to shut up before he cuts his tongue out. 

Taehyung continues to plead with Jungkook, begging him to turn back and leave the woman alone. "If you don't stop, I will scream!"

Taehyung gets shoved against a tree with a knife at his throat, and the psycho in his face, sneering at him like a wild dog. "If you even think about screaming, I will take you back home, make you watch as I fuck your brother, then cut his tongue out and make you fucking eat it." Every syllable was induced with pure malice, enough to root Taehyung to the spot with fright. 

"Please Jungkook, all I ask is to not hurt another innocent person." Taehyung whispers, already tearing up with emotions waiting to burst. 

Jungkook chuckles under his breath, an idea coming to mind. "Fine I won't kill her." he says, presenting the knife to Taehyung. "You will."

Taehyung shakes his head, already sobbing again, pleading for Jungkook to stop. "No! I can't do it! I won't!"

"It's very simple baby, all you gotta do is slit her throat from ear." he points the knife under Taehyung's jaw. "To ear." he gently glides it across his neck, ghosting the blade over the sensitive skin, stopping at Taehyung's other ear. "It's either her, or Jin. Pick one."

A strangled cry molds out from Taehyung's body, his emotions turning sour, his head spinning with anxiety. "Please...I can't."

"Yes you can baby. Now hurry up and pick. You have until the count of three."

"Jungkook Please I don't want to-"

"One!"

"Baby please don't make me do this!"

"Two!"

Taehyung is torn between saving one life, and ending another. Jin is his brother, so it's obvious he's not going to hurt him, but the woman in the park is an innocent bystander who probably has a family of her own. Her death will cause a wave of grief to ripple through her family, and It will all be his fault. 

He can't live with that guilt. It will begin to eat away at him until he's nothing but a void. 

And that's exactly what Jungkook wants. A void where he can slowly fill up with his demons, expanding their poison into every crevice of Taehyung's mind, molding the brunette into a killer just like him. Taehyung is resilient, but Jungkook knows that with enough time and effort, he'll break Taehyung down to where he wants him. 

The ultimate form of control. 

Hoseok has truly taught him well. 

"Thre-"

"I'll do it!" Taehyung speaks up, his entire body quivering with a thunderous clap of regret. He's already mentally apologizing to the woman, already mourning for her loss, but his brother comes first. 

Pride swells inside Jungkook, glittering in the psycho's eyes. He grabs Taehyung's arm and pulls him to follow the woman, she didn't get too far since she had stopped to take a break from her jog. 

"Don't you even think about backing out. Remember, it's her or Jin." He hands the knife to Taehyung, making him hold it firmly. "Let's go, our prey is waiting." He stands real close to Taehyung, guiding him to walk to the woman. 

The weapon feels heavy in Taehyung's hand, burning his skin with Jungkook's sins. He wants to drop it and scream at the woman to run, but Jungkook had lodged a fear inside him, and it's rooted at his throat. 

"Excuse me." Jungkook calls to her un his very sweet tone. 

The woman turns around, a bit startled to see Jungkook since his scar is clearly visible for her to see. "Yes?" she says, keeping her guard up. 

"I'm very sorry to bother you, but we are not from this part of the city, and we are looking for the university." he tells her, a lie as smooth as butter. 

She nods, exhaling that unsteady breath she was holding. "Sure. Just follow this path until you see the bridge." she turns her back to them, the one mistake anyone could ever make, and points to the bridge that overlooked the park.  

"Do it now." Jungkook hisses, shoving Taehyung forward. 

The brunette has no time to think, no time to pull himself together. 

He grabs the woman, putting a hand over her mouth, already feeling her struggle for release. 

This is for Jin. This is for Jin. This is for Jin. 

Taehyung repeats that mantra over and over as he brings the blade to her neck, but he doesn't slice it. His arm locks up, his inner conscious screaming at him to stop. 

"I'm so sorry." he whispers to her, knowing it wasn't for her, but more for himself. 

He feels Jungkook brush up behind him and grab his hand, forcing him to slit the woman's throat. 

It all happens so fast that in a blink of an eye, she's on the ground choking on her blood, and Taehyung is already on his knees, vomiting out his guilt, the acid burn of it all leaving a tear in his mind, where it slowly begins it's process of eating away at him. 

Jungkook kneels beside him and takes the knife. "Good job baby, a bit messy but we'll work on that." he puts the weapon away and pulls Taehyung to stand up. 

Taehyung feels disgusting, feels sick to his stomach. He looks at Jungkook, his vison coming in an out, with his head spinning and his mind cracking. "Please...no more Jungkook...no more." he begs, but the psycho was far from done. 

"This is the first of many." he says, pulling Taehyung to walk with him back to the car. "We are going to bring this city to it's knees, and I will mark my claim over it. " Along the way he stops and sees a flyer on a bench talking about a fashion show. An idea comes to mind, an idea so sick and twisted that he couldn't help but laugh. 

"And I just found the perfect way to do so."
