Mistake Of that Night √ | TK

Chapter Fourteen

“I'm definitely doing something stupid”

Taehyung curses under his breath, blowing out puffs of air to keep himself warm. The weather was unnaturally cold today, the winds blowing so hard as if they had a plan to take some buildings along them.

He has been standing here, leaning against his bike which had a fake number plate. It was an undeveloped raw narrow road, covered by trees from both sides. It was big enough for a truck to pass but the speed would be very slow and very high chances of running into wild animals. There weren't any tigers or similar animals but people had often encountered a stag, wolf or a bear.

In the morning many people passed through the place but at night there wasn't any sign of a living being which could be called a human. You see, the place looks no less than the ones in those horror movies where a bunch of guys go on a road trip and then there car fucks up in the middle of an isolated road and well, you know the rest of the story. Shit goes down.

Then why is Taehyung here? Well, because as much as normal people like to avoid this place because of how isolated it is. Some interesting people love to use it for all the same reason.

It's isolated, no one would come except for alcoholics or druggies and their suppliers. It's always the rich ones, celebrities, their kids, politicians, idols, actors. All those ones who'll never like the world to know about what they do, who will lose their shit if it got out in public that they are druggies.

Those are the ones who do the wrongs in the illusion of darkness, thinking no one will see their crimes and they'll be free to act like the saint in the morning.

Taehyung is looking exactly for those kinds. They never buy a small amount. Even the most expensive illegal drug — Cocaine —  is purchased in about a kilogram. And even if they take others such as Heroin or LSD it'll definitely cost above 15 million. The simple reason behind buying these drugs in large quantities is, they can't move back and forth for a small dose when they can simply buy it in large amounts and keep it stored.

Taehyung is waiting for just one person like that, one person can solve his problems and that's all he needs. It's crazy, he knows. It's risky, unhinged but you do what you gotta do. Taehyung can recognize them. When you've been in this world for so long, it becomes easy to distinguish who belongs here and who doesn't.

He has his gun wrapped around his hand, eyes darting towards the side of the road, feeling a car come his way. Taehyung gulped, hands tightening around the revolver as he slowly got in position.

The racer took a deep breath to calm his heart, which felt like it was five seconds away from jumping out of his mouth. Gosh, this is a lot scarier than he expected. He was going to raid someone, fuck, could he back out now?

Was it okay to raise his hand in surrender, let out a big “Fuck this shit, i’m out” when the supposedly ticket for his 15 million won or more was not even five minutes away?

Taehyung gulps, feeling the way a bead of sweat rolls down his forehead, leaving a trail of tickles on its way. The racer’s eyes squint as the headlight falls over his face from the car coming on its way.

This is it, Do it for him. Do it for a man like your dad.

Taehyung raises his hand, fingers tightening around the trigger as he aims for the wheels. His aim isn’t perfect. Neither will it be easy to get a perfect shoot in such darkness but he’ll try, gosh he has to try. There’s no other way.

The driver on the other side might be armed, might be more than one or two persons, maybe the whole car is filled with people. Maybe they are far more experienced then he is, maybe they’ll easily take him down and he’ll be found dead in the bushes by the next day. It hasn't even passed more than a few seconds but it feels as if his whole life passed in front of his eyes in those few seconds.
