The Irresistible Devil Tamer (VxBTS)

Broken for the Second Time

Every fibre of Taehyung's being felt like it was being shred apart, piece by piece. His eyes saw the truth but his heart refused to believe. His mind knew the truth but his heart -FOOLISH, STUPID FUCKING ORGAN THAT IT WAS- refused to believe it. It wrenched and twisted in on itself, subjecting itself to miseries rather than accepting the simple fact that it has been deceived.

How could this even happen? Another pang resounded in his ribcage, his heart never stopped yet it felt like everything else inside him did. His mind was a blank mess, a contradiction in itself.

How can Ryu still be fucking alive?! And if he was alive all this time, then why the fuck was he playing dead for so long?!

The chasm in his heart widened. Has he been deceived all this time into thinking something that was very clearly untrue?

Played like a stupid fiddle?

As his mind- struggling and addled as it was- finally cleared, all these seemingly endless possibilities and questions sprung up that put the emotional fool in him at the very back as his shrewd detective persona took over. Kim Taehyung hated being deceived.

He has been through far too much- physically, metaphorically, emotionally and every other fucking way- in these few days to slip up on the measly issue of a face appearing from his dark past. A face that brought back too many memories. A face that unlocked too many repressed emotions. A face, well thought to be in the land of the dead.

But if that face was more alive than dead, then what of Kai Hiwatari?

"I can see your mind spiraling dear." The familiar voice, with it's unfamiliar and frankly distasteful tone brought the silver-haired detective from his musings.

Not trapped in his reminiscing haze anymore, the detective could finally look at the bigger picture, despite the many loopholes.

"What the fuck are you doing here? Out of your grave?!" 

The vitriolic exclamation was unexpected, especially coming from those luscious pink lips did not fail to successfully shock every occupant of the room.
