Dissimulated One

25. Bloody tears

" Sleep well, Taehyung-ah."
As soon as she said those words, darkness completely engulfed Taehyung's mind as he fell on the floor .... unconscious.

On the other hand, Jungkook who was examining the knives suddenly got a weird sensation in his body as if it was on fire. He felt as if he was getting burnt.

He exhaled heavily as he wiped the sweat off his forehead on feeling his body temperature rising.

" Why am I feeling so hot all of a sudden?"

Panting heavily, he fanned his face with his hand to get rid of the heat, his face was radiating.

'Maybe I should get a glass of water...' Jungkook thought as he quickly walked towards the small wooden table placed beside the cheval glass. He grabbed the jug from the table and poured the water inside it into a glass. He placed the jug back in its place and brought the glass to his lips and gulped down the water in one go expecting it to cool down the burning sensation in his throat but weirdly, it didn't work. It didn't soothe the dry walls of his oesophagus at all. His throat was still dry as his body temperature was continuously rising.

"Huh? What is even happening? Why is it so hot?"

He placed the glass back on the table before his hand reached out to unbutton the first few buttons of his shirt but weirdly, it, too, didn't work. He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion as well as discomfort on feeling his body burning. He looked around the room, trying to spot something that could help him with his current condition but soon his eyes widened in shock and horror when they spotted something.

Something that, at least, he never wanted to witness. It was him. It was his own reflection which he saw in the chavel glass mirror in front of him but his appearance in the mirror didn't seem like his usual self at all. He slowly took a few steps towards the mirror, examining his face which didn't look like his own face at all. He lifted his hand to touch his face which had turned to a pale colour with dark black cracks spread across his cheeks and forehead. He furrowed his eyebrows as he gulped and said, " W-why am I ... changing into my demon form? I didn't order my demon to come out... " He ran his gaze over his hair which had turned to a deep candy red shade, unlike his usual dark brown hair, dyed blue at the ends but soon he gasped hard on seeing his eye colour changing. It was turning to a pitch-black shade. He stumbled back once he saw his eyes had changed completely indicating that his inner demon was trying to take over his mind and body.

"What is even happening? Why am I changing? I am not even willing to change then how-"

He stopped mumbling to himself when he heard a whisper echo through his ears. A whisper which made everything around him go completely silent. His breath hitched as he could hear his heart accelerating at an inhumane speed.

" I am coming out.... You can't stop me now"

He let out a shaky breath when he heard a sinister laugh echo through his ears but it...it didn't seem like it was anyone else's laughter but rather it seemed like the source of the laughter lied within him only.
