Villain || Kim Taehyung ✓

22: Safe

Yena woke up from her slumber and groaned while feeling the headache. She blinked several times before looking around until her eyes fell upon a bottle of water and medicine on the bedside table.

She reached out for it and took it when she spotted a note attached to the bottle.

"You drank alcohol and passed out. Here's a medicine to cure your headache. I'll text you. Love you. - Tae"

She sighed before chugging the medicine down with the water getting up from the bed and walking over to the bathroom.

Yena got out of the supermarket with the groceries and was walking down the street back to her home.

It was night time and she saw a drunk man stumbling while approaching her figure. She paid no attention and continued walking without a bother.

The man slowly scrubbed his shoes while trying to walk properly in his unconscious state. Yena felt scared because of the atmosphere.

The man stumbled hard and was about to fall towards Yena. Her eyes widened but someone swiftly pulled her away from the man.

Yena gasped when a tight arm was wrapped around her figure and she saw Taehyung glaring at the drunk man who continued on his way back home.

(REMEMBER that Taehyung is currently Taehoon to Yena)

Taehyung turned to look at Yena coldly and released his grip before backing away. He looked at her intensely before turning away but Yena grabbed his wrist.

"Taehoon, you are hurt-" Taehyung immediately yanked her hand away and she flinched hard. He turned to look at her while boiling in rage.

"Why do you care? You didn't want to see me, right? Just listen to what that scammer tells you!" He screamed and Yena frowned. "What do you mean?"

Taehyung sighed and rubbed his face with his hands. Yena looked at the blood on his torn white shirt exposing his cut right under his chest.

"I am Taehyung. He is Taehoon. He used my name. He manipulated you like he did with me." Taehyung mumbled and Yena frowned.

Taehyung looked at her with teary eyes. Yena looked into those eyes and sighed before holding his hand and dragging him back to her home.

"I hate myself for being weak for you," She barked while Taehyung smiled slightly behind her. They entered the home and she glared at Taehyung.

"Sit on the couch. I'll be back!" She said in annoyance and walked away from there. Taehyung grinned and slowly walked over to the couch before sitting there.

Yena returned with a first aid box and sat beside him. She slowly reached out for the buttons of his shirt and he looked at her blankly.

"Why do you kill people when you get hurt like this?" She asked and he scoffed at her. "I don't kill people without a reason. I kill only if it is necessary." He said deeply.

Yena looked at him sternly and chuckled bitterly. "How would you explain killing my mother then, Taehoon?"

"Will you even believe me if I tell you anything?" He asked while rolling his eyes and she slid the shirt off his shoulders to drop it on the floor.

"Why did you and Taehyung always tell me to stay away from my mom back then?" She asked calmly and Taehyung suddenly held her wrist.

She hissed and looked at Taehyung with big eyes. He stared at her seriously before leaning toward her face.

"I am Taehyung. I told you earlier. Taehoon used my name and lied to you about everything." He said and she frowned at him.

"You expect me to believe this after both of you played with my mind?" She asked and he laughed before interlocking their fingers and bringing it close to his lips.

Taehyung kissed the ring that he gave to her and her eyes fell upon the ring that she gifted him. Her eyes widened and Taehyung smiled at her.

"You still love me and care for me. That's why you're still wearing the ring that I gave to you, honey. You might not believe yourself but you still love me. Even after knowing that I killed your mother." He says. Yena bit her lip in frustration and exhaled sharply.

"Do you love me?" She asked and he left her hand before staring into her eyes. "Always!" He said and her eyes softened.

She shook her head and looked at him. "Tell me, Taehyung. Tell me the truth if you love me. Tell me everything." She said while looking into his eyes and he nodded.

He reached out for his phone inside the pocket of his trousers before taking it out and doing something with it.

Yena silently followed his actions with her eyes and he kept the phone on the coffee table next to the couch. He looked at her and smiled slightly before saying.

"This audio was recorded on the farewell night, at your home while you were away with Taehoon. I hope you recognize your mom's voice."
