Once Upon A Time In Paris

Nightmare

Jisoo rolls to the other side of the bed the next morning to hold Taehyung but his side seems empty. She barely opens her eyes and he isn't here. He is probably outside making breakfast for the both of them. The very thought of spending the night with him puts a smile on her face. She starts reminiscing last night

They came back last night and Jisoo made them dinner. Then they both spent some quality time together and a lot of kisses and makeout session later, they fell asleep. The thought of kissing Taehyung is making Jisoo blush. Taehyung slept like a baby and Jisoo spent most of the night looking at his perfect face, touching it ever so lightly afraid that he'll wake up. He had to take in a lot of things today, a lot of emotions flooded him. She wanted hm to get his rest. She then started thinking about how they spent the night, cuddling and kissing together. Things escalated very quickly but Taehyung made sure that Jisoo gave her consent. She set some boundaries too, she doesn't want to do everything before marriage, she wants to reserve at least a few things for marriage and Taehyung respected it. As much as he wanted her body, he wanted it to be in her terms. Jisoo pretty much spent the entire night being grateful for the kind of person Taehyung is, loving, caring and understanding.

She finally snaps back to reality, she wants to go to Taehyung. So she heads to the bathroom to freshen up. She is wearing Taehyung's shirt and it barely reacher upto her knees. She finds the house to be abnormally quiet, if Taehyung was cooking there'd be at least some noise coming. She has this weird instinct telling her that something was wrong and she is right. Taehyung isn't in the kitchen, her heart suddenly starts beating fast. Where is he?

She starts looking but it doesn't take her much time to find him. He is standing in the living room with some papers in his hands

"Babe?" Jisoo says sensing that something is not right

Taehyung looks at her, he stares at her for a good couple of seconds and then back at the papers

Jisoo slowly walks towards him hoping that everything is fine but Taehyung breaks the silence

"Was it worth it?" he says

"Huh?" Jisoo replies. His tone starts scaring her

"Was it all worth it?" he asks again

"I am not understanding what you are trying to say" she says again

"Let me fucking refreshen your memory" Taehyung says and throws all the papers he was holding in his hand at Jisoo

Jisoo moves her face reflexly away from all the papers Taehyung threw at her. She can't believe he did this to her. She tries hard to hold back her tears and then kneels down to look at the papers

Jisoo's hands shake after looking at what is in those. They contain details of Jisoo's purpose to come to Paris, her family background, screenshots of her texts with Rose and most importantly, printed cctv footage of Jisoo on Irene's laptop sending the emails and matching timelines between the cctv footage and the time the emails were sent. There is not a single piece of information that is missing in those, someone analyzed everything very carefully, compiled them and sent them to Taehyung

Jisoo's knees feel too weak to stand up. Taehyung walks towards her and grabs her hands to make her stand up

"Why did you play me? Why the fuck did you do it? Are you happy now? It must be worth it, your revenge is complete, my company is in shambles and you sister is suffering.. I can't believe I did that to Irene and trusted you. What are you? Are you even human? Do you not have emotions?" he screams holding her tightly enough to make bruises on her hands

"What did I do to your mother? What did Irene do to your mother? We were innocents" Taehyung screams as hard as he could and throws Jisoo down on the ground. Jisoo's knees slam against he floor while her body falls unable to find its balance

"Well played Jisoo. Well played. Your dead mother must be so happy, her ex husband and his daughter is suffering. My mother helped him cheat right? So hurting me is going to hurt my mother, that's what you thought, right? But what about right now? I am not hurt because my company has lost it all, I am hurt because I have lost you. You are not the one I thought you were, I was ready to sacrifice eevrything for you and now I don't have you. I wanted to love you Jisoo but you're making it very difficult for me to love you"

He then walks towards Jisoo and kneels in front of her, he holds her chin and lifts her face

"Now I just wish you were a gold digger instead of all these. At least that way I could've kept you" he says

Jisoo right at that moment just wishes that she never existed. The way Taehyung is hurt is unbeable to her. She has no words to say to him

"I wish I could kill you right here right now" Taehyung says and looks at Jisoo.

"I-- I" Jisoo starts to says but Taehyung grabs her cheeks tight, tight enough that it hurts Jisoo

"Ssshhh, you've said and done enough" he says and sees a big vase on the table

He gets up and casually walks towards it

"you know Jisoo, you may think that my company is down and dusted but it takes a lot more than one single conference to destroy a company that has been standing on its ground for decades, it takes more than a few petty plans to remove the love that has grown since childhood in Irene's hearts and it takes way more than a few heart aches to break a heart. So I think me, irene and our family wil be fine"

"but you" he finally reaches the vase and looks back at Jisoo

"You, my babe, are alone. No one to love and no one to call a family. And you see, I also have a vindictive side, I also take revenge from people that mess with my family. You've messed with me and I would've still tought about forgiving you but you messed with my sister, my mother, my father and my lover. That, my sugar, is unforgiveable" he says, picks the vase up and throws it on the ground beside Jisoo making the glasses reflect off the floor directly at Jisoo

Jisoo screams out loudly and covers her face as pieces of glasses fly at her. She slowly removes her hands and looks around, she is in bed. She looks at her hands, not a single scratch. She then looks at the side of the bed, Taehyung is sleeping as sound as ever

Her heart starts beating fast, it was all a nightmare but it seemed so true. suddenly it hits Jisoo, if Taehyung ever knows the secret then things will be far worse than what she dreamt of.

She starts breathing heavily, she can still feel him push her to the ground, her knees feeling weak. She gets up from the bed and runs outside. She is anxious, afraid, paranoid and a suffocating feeling takes over her body. She goes to the kitchen to drink a glass of water. As she gulps the water down her eyes start tearing, she feels so weak that even the glass seems heavy tand she finally loses her grip on it making it falls down with a loud noise. She is afraid that Taehyung is going to wake up, she feels scared of him

Suddenly the calling bell goes off. Jisoo forgets that she dropped the glass and walks all over the broken piece to get the door. She is clearly not in her right mind, her feet starts bleeding but she can barely feel the pain..

She opens the door and there is no one, just a brown box. Sge looks around but no one. She then slowly kneels down to get the box and closes the door.

Taehyung is still sleeping, she runs towards the guest bed room and for the first time she can feel the burning pain of glasses on her feet, she groans after taking the first step and lifts her leg, shreds of glasses are embedded on her skin

She looks at the direction of their bedroom again, she needs to see what is in the box before he wakes up. She leaves her leg and runs towards another room leaving bloody trail along the way

She closes the door and hurries to unwrap the box, she is visibly hyperventilating. After unwrapping it, as she opens the box, her eyes become as wide as they could. It is her worst nightmare, this is just like the box she saw Taehyung recieve in her dreams, a box revealing all her deepest secrets and crimes

The only difference is that the sender of the box sent it to her and not to Taehyung. She is sure of it by seeing the letter written to her name

She opens the letter and starts reading it with a vision that has turned hazy, a voice that has lost its power, and a heart that is afraid and scared of the consequences of her deeds

"This is the last letter I am writing to you-----
