F*cking the Enemy

22

It's been a minute inside the maze of metal boxes everywhere, when Taehyung stops in front of one with a padlocked door. He uses a key and then a code in the door's keypad to unlock it.
The steel room seems large enough to accommodate a couple bedrooms in it but there's only a chair, a desk, a few light sources and something that looks like a wire fence cage in the back, blacked out by some sort of dark cloth from inside it.
He holds your hand to offer comfort given how creepy it all seemed but your other one instinctively reaches for your gun.
-The man who killed your family is there...- he announces -...I wanted to do this for you...
You can't find the words to speak as you continue to follow Taehyung when he opens the cage door with an acute metalic screeching noise. Your heart is beating as loud as a drum and then you notice the bundle of whimpering cloth in the corner of the cage. Taehyung reaches down decisively to remove the fabric hood covering the mans head and once you see it the World drops. You remember seing that face covered in blood and tears before, however briefly, before your father forced you to hide under the bed. You had blocked out most of that night but it's all coming back now.
-Remember... if you scream, I break something...- your lover warns the dirty whimpering man on the floor as he removes the gag on his mouth.
-Please, why am I here?!- you hear the dark man begging Taehyung for mercy in a way that almost makes you feel sorry for him. But this is also the man who took everything you loved from you and now you need to know why.
-My father's name was Marcus Reid, my mother's was Leyla Reid and my little brother was Caleb Reid...
Suddenly the man stopped whimpering, he became quiet and pale like he had just seen a ghost.
-You murdered them all...- Taehyung said after  you, and the dark men's eyes filled up with even more tears while moving erratically in their sockets.
-Oh... I understand now...- the crying man said after a few seconds -...I knew this day would come... I deserve this...
Something about his defeating attitude pisses you off. How are you supposed to get your revenge like this?
-Get up!- you demand, and the man complies using the pole behind him, where he was handcuffed to, to support him while he stood up.
Once he stands barely erect, and his face is better illuminated by the dim lighting inside the cell you notice how old and feble this man really is.
-I truly am s...
-Shut up...- you interrupt coldly -...I don't need to hear your apologies... just tell me how... and why...
-I was someone else back then... I was a drug addict, and a thug, a criminal... I would have done anything for some horse... My wife was dying of cancer when your father put me in jail... and because of it I couldn't be there for her when she left this World... She was an angel, I never deserved her... Our baby daughter was left in the system, all by herself...I swore that I would get him back for it... So the day I got out I found out where he lived and headed over there with a gun I stole...When I broke in your house your mom was in the living room protecting your brother but I snuffed them both. Then I went into every room until I found your father, he put up a good fight but I managed to kill him too... If I had known you existed, probably would have gotten you as well... But I'm glad I didn't...- he finished solemnly, like he was finally ready to face his crime.

Tears stung your face and seering pain like you haven't felt in ages punctured your chest. You wish he was still a thug, you wish he was still a monster, so you could end his life and get some revenge, but that won't happen anymore. It's too late for that...
-I'm ready to pay the price for my crimes now ma'am...- he utters decisively but you turn your back and walk away.
Another second in this man's presence and you could turn to dust. You were convinced that whoever had destroyed your life was a horrible monster who didn't deserve any kind of sympathy, but here you were, feeling sorry for him... and how you hated him for it.
Taehyung follows you and closes the cell behind him as you reach a corner of the room and crumble against it. He slowly hugs you from behind as you silently tear up for a while. Then he flips you to face him and hugs you even harder. His chest provides the perfect resting surface for your wet face as he gently caresses your hair.
-I got you...- he whispers, soothing your pain.
After a while his unmistakable scent is flooding your lungs and his hand is reaching for your chin to bring your mouth closer to his.
He kisses your lips with tenderness and overwhelming power. Sucking every bit of your soul out of your body through his loving kiss. It doesn't matter how far you run, he knows and you know that you belong to him. His soft lips evoke so much need in you that you're glad the ringing of your phone breaks the kiss before it gets too far.
The screen shows Jungkook's name and you realize he must have gotten home and not found you there.
-Hi...
-Hello? are you ok? Where are you?
-I'm fine, but I need a favor from you...
-Anything... what...
-Can you come to this address? I'll be here, waiting...- you say while sending him a pin with your location.
-I'm on my way...
You hang up the phone and go outside of the metalic shipping container, followed by Taehyung. After being in that metal crate without windows for an hour, the light of the day feels initially unbearable, but soon your eyes get used to it.
-You're going to hand him over...- he assumes given your conversation with Jungkook.
-Yes... I... that's what I choose to do...
-Ok...
After a few seconds of silence he asks another question.
-Are you back together with him?
-Sort of...
It takes him a while to speak again, but when he does his tone sounds restrained.
-Is it going to be me or him?
-I don't know Taehyung... What do you mean? What do you want from me?
-I want you, I love you! and you love me!- he raises his voice despite never having said that before, like it was obvious- ...I needed to finish my work before I could give you all of me and now that I'm done...
-So that's it, your plan was to murder half the state and then run away with me and live happily ever after...- you scoff salaciously.
-Don't be a hypocrite... you've always dreamed about killing that man in there, and you would have, if his story wasn't so miserable...
-Is that why you brought me here? So I could be more like you?!
-No, I brought you here so you could get closure, so you could move on!
You walk away with your brain turned into pulp. What are you even going to say when Jungkook gets here?
-Jagi, please...
-I can't just leave him... I don't even trust you...
-I would do anything for you, I would never hurt you...- he grabs your hands and the wind makes his hair dance in slow motion. His gorgeous, mysterious eyes are imploring you to give yourself back to him and his beauty is too much for you to resist.
His face once again comes near yours and like magnets your lips meet again, you can't deny how much you want this man. You've never wanted anything more in your life and he fully takes advantage of it. His arms surround your body as his tongue massages yours and you melt in his grasp. His warmth ignites a fire in you that you can't put out, but this time he breaks the kiss himself.
-We should get that guy out for when your partner gets here...
You nod in response trying to get over the dizziness his embrace leaves you with.
After a couple minutes you hear the gravel on the ground crunch and Jungkook's silhouette is visible in the distance.
You lift your arm so he can walk in your direction and hurry up to meet you, but as soon as Taehyung exits with the handcuffed men by his side, Jungkook withdraws his weapon menacingly.
-No!- you stand in his way to prevent him from shooting, so he lowers his gun confused.
-What is going on here?!
You walk up to him still with your palms extended in front of you to explain the situation.
-That man murdered my whole family... Taehyung found him and now I need you to hand him over for me...
-You mean both of them, right?!
-No JK, just the man, please, I owe him...
He looks conflicted, he locks eyes with Taehyung's and both of them have intimidatingly defiant expressions on. The tension could be cut with a knife at this point.
-What about you?
-I'll meet you at home later...
-Are you planning on leaving me?- Jungkook's eyes are so beautiful, it's impossible to even imagine inflicting pain on him.
-Never... Trust me...- you reply firmly, to which he responds by kissing you savagely in front of Taehyung. You give in to him as he takes you with his never ending passion. His skin is burning against yours, and even if it's awkward you wouldn't dare to break away from him. How could you possibly choose between them?
-Are you going to be ok?
-He would never hurt me...
After a while, he lets go of you and walks over to Taehyung, grabbing the hooded man from him with dirty looks igniting sparks between them. Jk and your family's murderer walk away, and after a few seconds they're lost from sight, leaving you and Taehyung alone once again.
