Shadows Beneath The Skin | TAEKOOK

Chapter 19

It had only been a couple hours later since the...incident as Jungkook liked to call it. But it was all for the plan, he kept reminding himself. No matter how good it felt. How nice it was to feel Taehyung's lips on his skin, and hand on his di-

No! He couldn't keep thinking about it. It was done and over. He'd never let it go that far again. 

But now he was sitting on the bed on top of the covers. A warm bowl of soup placed on his lap and Taehyung spoon feeding him. 

He honestly had no idea how they ended up here. 

Although he could briefly remember wanting to get away from Taehyung and his touch when he was trying to comfort him. He had said he wasn't faking a thing, but Jungkook had been too lost to believe him. Taehyung had tried to hug him, but he quickly backed away and stuttered out a quick, "U-um I'm really hungry and tired, c-could you make me some soup please?" 

He had asked it in hopes of Taehyung leaving him alone, but once the soup was made; he was right there spoon feeding him because he --Shouldn't strain your wrist Star-- as Taehyung had said. 

So he was here; carefully tasting the delicious creamy tomato soup and relishing in the warmth it provided. He wished that he could stay here in this floaty and calm state, but his plan had to go further, and he couldn't wait any longer. 

Hesitantly he asked, "Taehyung?" The man placed the spoon in the half eaten bowl as he directed his attention to the younger. He hummed in answer. 

"I-i have to use the bathroom. Can you show me where it is?" he innocently asked. Taehyung nodded. 

"Of course baby. Just a second." He placed the bowl to the side and stood up. He carefully grabbed a hold of Jungkook and softly pulled him to a stand. He was treating him as if he was a glass doll. Super fragile and easy to break. 

How wrong he was. 

"Tae, I just broke my wrist no need to coddle me." Jungkook whispered. Taehyung stared at him darkly and his grip on his shoulder tightened. 

A smile spread on his lips and Jungkook cringed. It was like Taehyung was grimacing through his smile, not even trying to hide his anger. "Oh, well you don't know what might happen," a distant look appeared on his face. "You could easily trip and fall," Taehung's hand slipped down towards his waist slowly. His breath hitched as it tightly gripped him. "Or accidentally be tripped." Taehyung moved his other hand to caress his wrist lightly. 

Jungkook was breathing heavily and he was terrified of the man that had him in his hold. 

"Accidents happen," he said. A look of pure fear washed over Jungkook's irises. 

Shit shit shit. He needs to get out. Taehyung would purposely hurt him just because he can. Maybe he was dealing with a bigger monster than he had originally anticipated. 

Surprisingly. 

"N-no it's ok. I think you should help me. J-just to be safe," he stuttered out looking down. 

"Wonderful!" Jungkook could hear the smile in his voice. Okay he was in the clear for now. 

As they stumbled out of the dimly lit room together, Jungkook tried to map out the hallways and every turn. 

You never know when you might need it.

They soon arrived at the bathroom after about 3 or 4 turns. It wasn't a terrible looking bathroom, but it definitely looked like one that you would have in a cellar, or bunker. 

The walls were a sad dull grey, and the countertops were made of concrete. There was a shower to the left while the toilet sat across. Above the sink was a rectangle mirror. No windows though. 

"Here we are. Tell me if you need anything," Taehyung said. Before he could leave Jungkook pulled on his arm softly. 

When he turned around he was met with wide doe eyes staring up at him. "C-can I take a shower too?" Taehyung smiled broadly. "Of course you can let me go get you a towel."

Once Taehyung gave him his towel and closed the door to the bathroom Jungkook immediately turned on the shower. 

Alright, he thought, next phase of the plan. Jungkook quickly took his clothes off and hopped in the shower. He looked around and noticed there was only the essentials like body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. Not even a razor god damn it. 

How was he supposed to follow through with this plan if he didn't even know what to break? 

Suddenly, a light bulb seemed to go off in his mind. 

"Yes of course!" he cheered quietly. Jungkook looked around the tiny area. The water was obscuring his vision so he peeked his head out, and that's when he saw it. 

His shirt. 

Jungkook rapidly snatched his shirt off the ground and carefully wrapped it around the end of the shower head. He then started to pull. Hard. He groaned from the pain in his wrist and stared at the shaking limb. 

"Curse this weak ass arm", he angrily growled. A quiet creak startled Jungkook. He loosened his grip slightly and looked at the shower head. 

It was working. 

Again he pulled. Jungkook's arms strained and he could feel them shake as his wrist protested. Blood was rushing through his ears at the possibility of getting caught. Would Taehyung kill him?

Shaking away the fear and water from his hair, Jungkook gave one last mighty heave and the shower head was ripped off. 

The force was so strong that Jungkook flung the shower head out of the tub and it smashed against the sink, then landed on the ground with a clank. 

Jungkook cursed loudly and caught himself before he toppled over. 

For a second everything was quiet, and he waited silently in anticipation. Then he heard a bang!

Jungkook screamed and yanked at the shower curtains to cover himself, but the action was so quick that he was tumbling to the ground and he slammed his head onto the end of the tub as he descended. 

He groaned quietly as the pain in his body registered. His head was spinning and he could briefly make out someone standing over him yelling his name, but his ears rang and his vision swam. 

Before he knew it Jungkook was passed out in the tub. The water still spewed from the broken shower head and the curtain was tightly wrapped around his body.

Um hi 👋  Long time no see right?

Anyways I'd like to sincerely apologize for ghosting everyone with this story, it wasn't my intention at all. I just had a lot going on the past couple months and this didn't seem like a top priority. 

I know no one really reads this book, but for the ones that do thank you for being so patient with me. I hope to continue this story soon, and I plan on updating as consistently as possible since it is the summer now. 

Any questions ask them here--->
