Chapter-21

"What's wrong, Angel''. Taehyung's eerie calmness made her shiver but she fixed a gun at him even though her breathing was irregular. "Don't come near me!!". Taehyung raised his brow and tilted his head with a wide smirk. "You will shoot me?". She stepped back slowly with fear but gulped down when Taehyung stood straight and removed his suit before throwing it on bed. "I'm ready angel, go ahead". He took his bottom lip between his teeth and approached her slowly unbuttoning his shirt and she really shoot him. She closed her eyes while flinching and felt the gun was heated up.

As the room was silent, she slowly opened her eyes but gasped with wide eyes because Taehyung was towering her figure being untouched. She felt so small in front of him because his chilly aura turned her numb. He wasn't giving her any reaction but was giving her cold look which was frightening her brutally. She understood, he dodged the shoot and it wasn't shocking because he was trained. Guns were toys for him. "I'm not that easy to be killed". He spoke slowly taking gun from her hand and she couldn't give him any response because past memories started flooding back into her mind.

"Should i show you my skills". She looked at him slowly when he spoke, "vase". Before she could understand the situation, a shattered sound echoed between four walls. She flinched in her place due to a voice and turned her head towards the other side as Taehyung had pointed the gun to the other side. Her palms turned sweaty when she saw water dripping down from the table as the vase was completely broken. Taehyung shoots perfectly without even looking at the vase. "Are you impressed by me Angel". She didn't look at him but kept staring at the vase, lastly Taehyung moved her face with a gun and she stared at him emotionlessly. "Aren't you too courageous....... you're scaring me Angel".

For her, it was mocking because he was making fun of her but the hidden fear behind that mocking, she couldn't understand. "You always amaze me, don't you?". Shiver ran down her spine when Taehyung traced his thumb on her lips gently leaning closer to her. He smirked more widely, seeing her trembling slightly. He knew she was suffering under his dangerous presence. "It wasn't d-dream". She spoke in her quivering voice making eye contact with him which made him sniff for a second. He stopped moving for a brief second but later asked in confusion, "What do you mean?". In a blink, Taehyung stumbled back as Jieun pushed him away forcefully while yelling.

"It wasn't a dream, you are a liar!". Her eyes were burning due to crying but the man in front her was so calm like he was examining her. "Why do you think it wasn't a dream". Her heart raced as his calm, cold tone echoed in her ears, sending a shiver down her spine. The tension in the air was palpable, and she couldn't help but feel a mix of fear and intrigue. Slowly, she turned her tired eyes towards him, only to be met with his intense gaze that seemed to hold a mysterious power over her. The top buttons of his shirt were undone, revealing a glimpse of his chiseled chest, adding to the allure and danger of the moment. As he took a step closer. "I will not repeat again".

His intense aura was engulfing her in its poisonous arms which made her suffocate and her voice finally found its way out, "I-I saw painting of my nightmare". A whisper escaped her lips in the midst of the charged atmosphere. She knew she had started it, but now, perhaps, he would be the one to bring it to an end. The room fell into deep silence and she felt an urgent need to escape because his quietness started haunting her but in sudden, he gripped her wrist which made her jerk her head towards him in horror. She didn't ask him anything because she had an idea that he would punish her for trying to stand against him. Taehyung pulled her with him but it confused her instead going in an unknown direction. He was walking towards his art room and finally he pushed her inside.

She rubbed her wrist slowly and looked at him with a frown as he locked the door and turned around before saying, "Show me that painting". She blinked slowly in confusion but hesitantly averted her eyes away from him before turning towards paintings but her heart skipped a beat when there was no painting of her nightmare, she clearly remembered where she had seen and on which canvas. "I really saw that here". She turned around while pointing towards the painting but Taehyung just folded his arms against his chest and walked closer to her. "That's why I said show me, I also want to see". She tilted her head and Taehyung could clearly see the disturbance in her eyes. She immediately walked towards the painting and looked around but the painting she saw wasn't in that place. Instead there was another painting which was covered.
