Taehyung's pov
The entire car ride was silent.
It was suffocating, and I couldn't help but hate myself.
Which was a rare feeling for me.
So what rights do I have! If your allowed to do all that shit then why can't I! Why am I beneath you when I'm just as strong as you are if not stronger! I am not your pet, I am not your slave, I am your equal!
The words just echoed in my head...over and over again.
No one had yelled at me beside my own father.
No one stood up to me the way she did.
And honestly, it fascinated me.
It made me feel things I had never felt before, things that I wanted to feel again.
Why am I beneath you when I'm just as strong as you are if not stronger!
Those words that Nari had yelled.........they were........true.
The girl was strong, no doubt. And I hadn't even seen what she could do, but she'd managed to physically beat me against a table, stand her ground while I belittled her, and had basically put me in my place, which I had coming for a while.
I had always been to high in my own little world, and Nari yanked me down back where I should have been a while back.
By scolding me, she made me a better person.
No one ever held me accountable.
Everyone always kept their heads down and praised me, not ever daring to even talk to me first.
But not Nari.
No.
She would light my ass up when I deserved it.
And I did deserve it.
Sometimes.
I noticed Nari gently place her head on the window beside me, looking outside with eyes that......looked sad. Like she'd given up on everything.
I didn't like that look.
Swallowing my pride, I mumbled, "I'm sorry, Nari. I should not have acted the way that I did. You deserve so much better than me, than this life."
My heart pounded with anticipation, waiting for her response.
Which was very minimal.
She didn't move a muscle, just kept staring out the window with her same desperate eyes, her intakes of breath silent as she very plainly, very gently said, "I do deserve better."
I could have sworn for just a second, a tear streaked down her beautiful face.
Her response made me terrified, and I remembered what she'd said before that made me so paranoid.
If only I had the guts to kill myself, then I wouldn't be in this mess.
I had no idea what made me care so much, but I was so scared that she would follow through if she attempted suicide again. "Look," I began, ready to pull the car over, run out and get on my knees to beg her. "I want to know how I can make this better-"
"Of course you do," Nari jabbed. She looked at me with fire in her eyes, the look that made me weak in the knees. "There's one obvious thing you can do....." she lead on, brows raised as if waiting for my response.
I cleared my throat, my focus back on the road in front of me. "Go on," I murmered.
"Help me escape."
