Blood & Wine || KIM TAEHYUNG ✔

9:00pm

Tae, in an effort to protect his beloved wife, Su-jin, has chosen to withhold a significant truth from her. Aware of her existing apprehension due to his involvement in the underworld, he has maintained the facade of a mere company employee. Tae's heart, however, beats fervently for Su-jin, yet he grapples with the daunting task of expressing his affection. In an act of unwavering devotion, he has resolved to unveil his emotions on the auspicious occasion of their forthcoming second anniversary.

As the sun begins to set, the atmosphere transforms into a captivating symphony of colors, casting a spellbinding aura upon the world.

After diligently attending to all the domestic responsibilities, she found herself thoroughly exhausted. Just as she sought solace on the comfortable couch, her tranquility was interrupted by the incessant ring of her mobile device.

Emma, it would be a pleasure for you to accompany me.

Emma: My dearest Su-jinahh, I have yearned for your presence with an indescribable intensity. Emma: Ah, my heartfelt plea! I beseech you, Su-jinahh, to kindly reconsider. Su-jin: Although I am indeed available, I regretfully cannot step outside, for it is the precise hour when Tae is expected to return home. Su-jin: I implore you to understand that it is simply not feasible at this time. Su-jin: The feeling is mutual, my dear Emma. Emma: By the way, would it be possible for us to convene in this very moment?

Upon receiving numerous entreaties, Su-jin finally acquiesced. She gracefully emerged from the confines of her abode, donning an ensemble of casual elegance, and patiently awaited the arrival of Emma. In due time, Emma made her appearance, and the two reverently exchanged warm greetings, as though reuniting after a lengthy hiatus of ten months.

Emma exclaimed with enthusiasm, "Shall we venture to the enchanting blue cafe?" Su-jin, her tone sincere, replied, "Indeed, but I must return home before twilight falls..." Emma, undeterred, gracefully guided her companion towards the captivating cafe.

They reveled in the moment, savoring every delightful second. However, the passage of time was as swift and graceful as a fleeting gazelle. Unbeknownst to them, the enchanting evening had gracefully slipped away, leaving the clock hands poised at the enchanting hour of 9:00 pm.

Upon arriving at her sanctuary, she let out a sigh of relief. Taehyung, known for his punctuality, was expected to arrive at 10:00, while she had managed to reach at 9:21. With a firm grip on the doorknob, she slowly turned it, revealing a darkened interior. A perplexing thought crossed her mind - had she forgotten to switch off the lights? Dismissing this notion, she took her first step inside and, to her astonishment, found the room enveloped in darkness. A wave of unease washed over her as she pondered the possibility of a forgotten task. Yet, as soon as she flicked on the lights, her heart raced, her breathing became labored, and beads of perspiration formed on her forehead, cascading down her face. Tremors seized her body as her eyes met Taehyung's enraged gaze, piercing and sharp, fixated directly upon her.

"T-tae, did you come so early today?" - she asked, holding back her emotions... he was silent... and she stood like a statue... “I heard everything,” he said, but his eyes remained the same. what-what did you hear?" "the conversation with your mom... what did you say... "cruel, heartless, scary, always screaming" you said that... right??" He asked, "I-I'm so sorry ...should I serve dinner??” She asked changing the subject.. "don't change the subject!! ALSO WHERE ARE YOU?!" he yelled at her really hard. She winced, “Okay, I won't! Just go to hell with your anger... you always tell me, do you even know how much it hurts??!!” - she said in a screaming tone... he was stunned to say something... and she went from there... and he held her hand to stop, but suddenly.....
