DOLL [vmin]

23: specimen

[gore warning]

Taehyung stood inside a different room this time. He wore white gloves in each of his two hands, the fingers tainted red and dirty. His right hand held a cold fleshy hand, and dropped it in the liquid filled jar he held in his left. Quickly he sealed the jar and held it up looking at it with big eyes. His eyes looked a little different. "There there, let's get the others" Taehyung smiled and he put the jar in the shelf, a shelf which he cleared, storing the old disgusting and some rotten jars in boxes in the corner, covered by a blanket. "How did you do it....tell me" Taehyung whispered as he went back to the table where a big book was laying loose pages scattered around it. His eyes moved over all the words and images, his fingers flipping the pages quickly. until he found what he was searching for.

'Eyes'

His smile grew seeing all the steps and details he had to do to successfully get what he needs. he closed the book and gathered the pages messily, making a pile and dropping the book somewhere on a chair walking his way to the iron door on his left.

"wakey wakey my little specimen" taehyung said with a chuckle seeing the boy had fallen asleep. both hands were chained to the wall. leg extended ahead of him, yes, leg. The other leg was missing, the stump wrapped in thick and bloody bandages which were left smears in the stone cold ground. "Hm, whatever, it doesn't matter," Taehyung said and unchained the boy dragging him after him into the workplace. That woke the boy up who opened his eyes and when the realisation hit him he started screaming and trying to get free from the hard grip of the unknown man.

"Shh shh, it will be over soon" taehyung said while chaining the boy to the table watching how the tears started rolling down his face. "dont cry, you're doing something good. its all for the good, dont cry." taehyung smiled and patted the boy's head who looked at him in fear. "you will make me very very happy, now stay still for me. can you do that?" The boy didn't reply but kept trying to pull his arms and legs free when the dollmaker turned around. the sound of iron materials was heard, taehyung was trying to find the right tool he had seen in the book. Eventually he found it.

"Stay silent, you will draw too much attention." Taehyung now frowned at the boy and covered his mouth with a cloth stuffing as much as he could which would make the boy unable to spit it out so easily. "There, silence" Taehyung chuckled and caressed the boy's hair. His hand opened the tightly shut eyes forcing the lids to spread. His free hand grabbed the scoop tool and pressed it under the eyeball pressing it all the way to the back before pulling at it harshly. plopping the eyeball out of its socket. The muffled screams of the boy were heard, but they were too soft to draw any help for him. "Ah, it worked," Taehyung said, a little excited and he cut the eyeball off, dropping it in a smaller jar. He did the same with the other eye, smiling at the two eyeballs in the jar. "Look how beautiful they are, beautiful blue eyes. so perfect" taehyung chuckled and looked at the boy who was bleeding heavily. "oh right, you can't see. well then, its done, thank you for your service, i dont need you anymore now" taehyung said and killed the boy taking him out of his misery. he waited for the body to stop moving before unchaining it and roll it into a thick blanket trying a few roped around the loon burrito shaped blanket. "So heavy you are, even without your leg" taehyung complained while carrying the body to the secret back exit. making his way through the tight and narrow path. There was a stairway up so he pushed the lid open and peeked around to make sure no one was in the garden right now before he lifted the body out of the hole placing it on the grass so he could get out after it. He dragged the body all the way to the muddy area and buried it under the ground, to never be found ever again...

"He promised" Jimin complained while he angrily made some steps and jumps on the stage with the usic nearing its end. He was annoyed that taehyung didn't show up yet. He promised to come spend time with him but he hasn't seen Taehyung all day. Only sunhee came to watch him just now while she was having a break from her work. Jimin really liked that but now he was alone again and Taehyung still hasn't shown up yet.

"I will just go read then..." he sighed and was about to turn off the music in the back when the ballroom doors opened with an echoing sound.

"I'm here" Taehyung's voice was heard in the room. Jimin turned his head and looked at the man, fleeing the anger and leaving his cold body almost right away.

"you're late"

"I know, I'm sorry. but i have time now. i have all the time for you now, come, dance with me" taehyung extended his hand and looked up at the doll on stage. Jimin bent down and took Taehyung's hand, letting the man help him off the high stage safely and into his arms, which held him so gently for the dance. "you're still so so beautiful. so perfect. just perfect." Taehyung grinned a little creepily. but that thought was soon distracted by him starting the dance. Jimin followed the man's guidance, moving both so elegantly together, they just felt what the other did, a perfect match it seemed. But something bothered taehyung.

something really really bothered him. It made him frown and stop the dance immediately once the music stopped. "Jimin, come with me to the atelier."

"what why?"

"i can hear your joints creaking, I don't like it. i don't want to see or hear you losing your perfection" taehyung seems really upset about this. he could ignore the cracks he saw appearing but he couldn't ignore the creaking joints of jimin when they danced, it was distracting too much. But he also knew he can't keep repairing the boy every time. fate was decided, he cant stop that.
