Jennie cursed her luck when she realised that she'll be stuck with Vantae for God knows how long , being in the same place as him was the last thing Jennie wanted to do at that moment.
She tried to use her phone's flashlight to light up the place because Vantae was too rigid ,it felt like she was the only one in the lift.But when she did switch on the lights the scene made her breath hitch .
Vantae stood exactly where he was standing before the lights went out but it was his eyes that scared her,his eyes looked dead it was as of he was not even there.
Jennie was sure he was not breathing ,he was too still and somehow she could read the emotions in his eyes ,they were as clear day to her ,his eyes held fear as if he was locked into a nightmare and was not able to come out of it .
She could see him fighting with his own self and still losing but what she didn't know was that what shifted in her that the next moment she found herself trying to reach out to him and before even she could touch, he retracted from her and flied to the corner of the lift bringing his legs to his chest.
"No! Don't do this please I beg you don't do this"
He was shivering.
He was pleading.
Because Vantae saw that night in front of his eyes,all the flashes coming back to him,the dead eyes that looked back at him. The pleading voice that still haunts his every dream turning them to nightmares.
NO please No , don't do this ,please
He could hear his own voice begging ,but still getting ignored by her who didn't even care if she was killing him at that moment.
Taehyung tried hard to kill all those voices,he can't go back there,he was tired,tired of the guilt ,tired of every a single fibre of him which witnessed that night.
He could feel himself getting deeper,deeper and deeper under that pit where there was nothing but darkness and he gave up the fight when he felt himself getting numb because he was tired.
He couldn't fight anymore.
Taehyung was ready to give up but suddenly felt warm and suddenly all those flashes were getting blurred it was like getting covered in a warm blanket and he was hearing someone's heartbeat, and he found his hard beating at the same rhythm with them.
thud thud thud
"It's fine, everything will be okay, don't worry, I'm here, everything will be fine"
Jennie cradled his head to her chest as she kept rubbing circles on his back while she tried her best to keep her tears at bay because it hurt how scared he looked, how he was almost on the verge of losing his sanity,how broken he looked.
So for the next few minutes Jennie held him close to her as she kept rocking their bodies in melody that only she could hear. She could feel him getting calm and leaning onto her embrace.
It wasn't until that the light came, and when their eyes collided that Jennie saw how quickly his eyes went back to that cold gleam look, that it made the previous moments an illusion.
He coldly untangled his body from hers as he stood back straight completely different from the broken boy minute back, Jennie followed his movements and stood beside him the lift being fixed continuing its journey.
Jennie was overwhelmed with the happenings, she was confused and intrigued, she wanted to know how Vantae could act like nothing happened.
When she looked at the front she saw Vantae staring at her from the lift's reflection.
"Don't you dare to say a word, pretend like the last few minutes never happened"
Jennie looked at him again, his vulnerable eyes now looked deadly as if he was lucifer himself.
He came closer to her, cornering her in a corner of the lift as he trapped her body between his two arms and leaned down, his nose touching hers.
" Is that clear" he raised one his eyebrows with intimidation.
Jennie was in daze everything was happening to fast for her.
"Are we clear Miss Kim" There was an edge to his voice like he was losing his patience and Jennie felt herself nodding at the exact time the lift opened.
Taehyung left the lift just he entered it, with cool calmness and with an cold air surrounding, like nothing of significance happened in the lift completely opposite to the Jennie who felt it was her who was wrecked as her legs gave up on her.
