Beauty Next Door (vsoo)

[29]

Taehyung noticed how lost she looks while telling about her past. He gently pull her hand and crease it telling her she is fine and far away from her past.

" You can stop if you are feeling uncomfortable about it " he softly said with assuring smile which was one of reason she fall for him. It's like just smile is enough to encourage her, to pull her mood.

She slowly shoke her head and continues.....

Three months passed, and Jisoo felt like a shadow of the person she once was. She had lost herself in the haze of his obsession and cruelty, and the weight of every moment became unbearable. She barely recognized the reflection in the mirror anymore—the girl who once had dreams, hope, and freedom now seemed like a ghost, wandering through her life without purpose.

Every aspect of her existence had been controlled by him. He watched her every move, followed her everywhere she went, and slowly twisted everything she did into something dark. His obsession had deepened into a form of torture—psychological, emotional, and physical. He liked to play games with her, seeing how far he could push her before she cracked. The moments she had once cherished, like studying with friends or walking through campus, had become a reminder of her imprisonment.

She tried to reach out for help, but her parents, the very people who should have protected her, turned a blind eye. When she told them about the torment she was going through, they dismissed it, chalking it up to mere dramatics or misunderstanding. They had sold her off to this man for their own gain, using her as a pawn to secure their wealth and status. They had allowed this nightmare to unfold, and they couldn't face the reality of what they had done.

The abuse continued to escalate until one fateful day when Jisoo was rushed to the hospital after a brutal beating. Her body bore the marks of his anger—bruises, cuts, and signs of torment that no one should have to endure. The pain was unbearable, but it was the emotional toll that was the hardest to bear. Her spirit was broken, her heart crushed under the weight of what her life had become.

Her parents, now realizing the depth of the situation, tried to threaten him. But their fear was palpable. They knew that if they pushed him too far, he would retaliate with everything he had. He wasn't just a man obsessed with their daughter—he was a man who had nothing to lose. He had already secured his position against them, blackmailing them with proof of their illegal dealings, and now, with every passing day, his grip on their lives tightened.

If they harmed him in any way, he would destroy them. He had the power to ruin everything they had built—their business, their reputation, everything. Jisoo’s parents had no choice but to keep pretending that everything was fine, to protect their own interests while their daughter continued to suffer.

Jisoo couldn’t escape. Even when she tried to hide in the corners of her university, her sanctuary for a fleeting moment, he found her. At home, where she should have felt safe, he lurked in the shadows, watching her, waiting for her to slip. There was no peace, no relief from the suffocating grip of his obsession. Each day, she lived in fear, her mind constantly on edge, never knowing when he would appear, when he would touch her, or when his twisted games would begin again.

And with every passing day, Jisoo wondered if there would ever be an end to the nightmare. Would she ever be free? Would she ever find the strength to escape this man who had taken everything from her, including her hope? The pain was relentless, and as the days blurred together, Jisoo felt like she was losing the fight.

Five months had passed, and Jisoo’s life had drastically changed. The once bright, hopeful young woman was now a shadow of herself, living with the weight of a life she never asked for, trapped in a cycle of torment. Yet, amidst the pain, there was a small, flickering light—her unborn child. That little soul was the only reason she had not given up, not completely.
