The Joker | KTH

26: 3, 2, 1! Game Over!

TW: Mention of violence

Suddenly, continuous loud ear-screeching horrendous screams were howling throughout the alleys that I could hear through the window, as my body was pressed on it.

After some minutes, an eerie silence orbited the entire atmosphere, surrounding the environment with a steam of warmth that made it hard to breathe... The metallic smell danced near my nose, forcing me to suck it in, as I involuntarily breathed in. My hands were shaking. my eyes widened, my body cold and my throat hushed.

"W-What's... that?" I gulped suddenly, flinching and ticking out of the trance as my eyes coincided with the blank pair of orbs infront of me.

"..."

"I-I asked you... what's that sound, Kim Taehyung?!" 

There was no reply by the man hovering over me. He was completely silent and still like a statue. After a moment of silence, a dirty smirk latched itself on his face as he chuckled silently. His eyes never left mine.

"What do you expect to hear when trucks drive upon unconscious men?"

"..."

W-What? 

Trucks drive over unconscious men...?

"What does t-that mean?"

He slowly got up and moved backward as his eyes glazed for a moment before turning back to normal.

"Those gangsters... I didn't kill them."

"T-Then who killed th-

"Instead, I made knocked them out for a while and now they'll sleep forever..." 

"H-Huh?!"

"I mean... It's late at night. No human would like to roam around in a narrow valley. It was easier to hypnotize some truck drivers and make them drive over the knocked out bodies of the criminals."

"W-What? Why did you do that?!" I gasped in disbelief. Did he just cause a mass disaster?

Ignoring my words, he stomped away from the bed to leave me alone in the room but I got up, holding onto his arm before he could leave.

"I asked you s-something! W-Why did you do that?" I gulped frantically as the feeling of fear grew harder in my heart. I felt... dangerous with him. 

When he chose to remain silent, I became even more impatient and shook his hand harder, glaring at him with the most rageful look I could give. 

"That's not even close to worse, darling..."

"Why did you kill so many people?! S-So many lives... Y-You shattered so many lives..."

"And I could even burn the world for you if someone tried to lay a finger over you."

...

What... did he say...?

"B-Burn the world...? What are you upto, Taehyung?"

"Those criminals. They were after you. I killed them. The Joker killed them. Now everyone will realize the Joker doesn't only joke but does what he says."

My eyes drooped in desperation. It felt like a dead-end. I was afraid. The police and detective Wang... There were so many people after him. It seemed like this was that part of a game where the player automatically knew they fucked up and it was going to be over for them.

"J-Jackson Wang... An amazing detective is behind your life. You know how hard is it gonna be now? You're fucked up." My voice shuddered as I sighed.

"Is it?" He seemed so unfazed and sarcastic that I couldn't determine whether we were in a sticky situation.
