Webs of Deceit

Chapter 17

Slowly regaining conscience, Taehyung looked around slowly to see where he was. When he looked towards his left, he saw Min Yoongi tied up in a chair bleeding from the forehead. He moved to reach Min Yoongi but realized that he too was tied up.

Taehyung: Min Yoongi?

Lin: He's taking a little nap.

Taehyung: You son of bitch! What the hell did you do to him?!

Lin: (Smiling). Well, here are the drugs that I injected into him. (Tossing the MM bag of drugs in front of Taehyung.)

Taehyung: I'm going to tear you apart you asshole! (Lin approaches Taehyung and punches him three times.

Ming: Stop! Do not strike him again! He needs to be awake for this. (Taehyung finally sees Ming's face).

Taehyung: Awake for what? What are you going to do with us?

Ming: Well to continue our little game of course.

Taehyung: How can this be a game to you? Have you no soul in all the lives that you have destroyed?

Ming: You have no right to judge me and my actions!! You don't know me!!

Taehyung: Oh, I know your kind.

Ming: (Chuckling). My kind? Oh, do tell me. Tell me what you think of me.

Taehyung: (Gulping hard). You killed an innocent woman and her children that did absolutely nothing to you that deserves death.

Ming: I begged a differ.

Taehyung: Why? Why did you kill them that way? The boy. Why did you do him that way?

Ming: I'm pretty sure that you will not find my reasoning easy to accept. Before you speak again let me tell you something. (Taehyung listens as Ming walks closer to him). I have a lot of things to get off my chest. What you hear will not be easy for you.

Taehyung: All I want to know is the truth... (To his surprise Ming kissed him forcefully). What the hell was that for?! Yuck!!

Ming: I couldn't resist kissing a handsome man. I quite enjoyed that.

Taehyung: You're sick!!

Ming: And we're off with the name calling again.

Taehyung: I want answers to all of this now!

Ming: Fine. Let's continue our conversation until Min Yoongi wakes up. You can ask me any questions you like, but if I say no that means Min Yoongi must be awake for the answer. Ok? That's the rule and no asking why.

Taehyung: Okay.

Ming: Great. First question, "How can this be a game to you? Have you no soul in all the lives that you have destroyed?" Well funny you should ask, I did have a soul, but it was destroyed many years ago. This is a game to me, because the "human" side of me died.

Taehyung: How did you lose your soul? What made you this way?

Ming: No.

Taehyung: How many moles do you have?

Ming: Excuse me?

Taehyung: You know exactly what I mean. How did you know me and Namjoon's name?
