VENOM | TAEHYUNG

The silence which drowned the apartment was peaceful.

It had taken him some time to soothe Anastasia, but he got the job done. Taehyung shift his gaze from the ceiling to her asleep in his arm, cheek pressed against his chest. Bringing up a hand, he stroked away strands of hair , she was beautiful. Time always slowed down when they were together — it was only 01 : 23. After she had stopped crying, he made her food and they watched a movie. There was no way that he could have sex with her when she was depressed and needed comfort. He did that in the past when he simply didn't give a fuck about her emotions — unfortunately, things have changed. He was a changed man because of her.

Carefully, he removed his arm from around her and got out of bed. The difference between him and jungkook was — he knew Anastasia better than anyone. Jungkook knew her good girl side, the side that had no blemish or sin. Taehyung had met her at the club, he knew she was drowning in her father's debt , he paid it off for her , he knew her mother wanted nothing to do with her— Taehyung knew her hidden secrets and darkness and still fell head over heels for her. He would do anything for her, he got arrested many times because he protected her.

Pacing to the dresser, he pulled open a drawer and brought out a little red box. The bracelet which he gifted her for Christmas, came with a pretty little ring. He had only given her the bracelet and kept the ring with him. Was he wrong for being inlove with his brothers girlfriend? He ignored namjoons advice to back off and still pursued what he felt for her.
He'd be a fool to let her slip through his fingers.

Pacing back to the bed, he sat beside her sleeping form, lifting her hand and sliding the ring around her finger. "You are driving me insane", he whispered as he kissed her palm. "I'm so inlove with you. It's actually very suffocating. I've never been concerned about my future, I always had things figured out and in check. Never have I depended on anyone ", he stroked her head. "Yet, here I am. I fear the day I may lose you. You're such a good girl ,baby. I know you'd choose Jungkook just because he'd be happy", he sighed and leaned forward to press a kiss to her cheek. "What about me ,baby? I love you ", he whispered.

Her slight snores made him chuckle. "My sweet angel ", he kissed her head once more before getting to his feet again. He was too agitated to fall asleep. Strolling into the living room, he went to the fridge for a soda. His mind was too loud at this point. Sometimes he regret going to the club that night and asking her for a lap dance. But — he was glad they went through all that , because he found an angel. The sound of his phone buzzing on the couch made him raise a brow. It was 2am, who the fuck would be calling now?

Lifting the phone,  he sighed as the person spoke. "I'm surprised you answered ", she whispered. Taehyung sat on the couch, sipping the soda, "I'm surprised you got my number ", he groaned. "You gave it to me", Paige reminded. It had been long since they last saw each other — months infact. "Why don't you visit anymore?", she asked. "I thought you took the hint that I was done coming over for sex", he was abrupt and raw. "I'm never sure when it comes to you, Taehyung. You should come over, I miss you". Taehyung rolled his eyes and placed the soda on the little glass table. "Paige, please don't speak shit to me. We had no relationship, there's no reason to fucking miss me", he snapped. "When will you learn to respect women?", she chuckled, but he knew she was hurt by his words. "When you learn to stop sucking cock as a hobby", he furrowed his brows.

"Tae?".

He glanced over at Anastasia who was rubbing her eye as she wobbled to the couch. Without another word, he hung up and tossed the phone aside as she straddled his lap. "What's wrong? Did I wake you?", he stroked her cheek. "No, I wriggled alittle and realized you weren't in bed", she pout. "I'm sorry,baby", he smiled. "Don't be. I got a headache ", she grumbled. "I could go out and get you some pills", he rubbed her forehead. "No, it's almost morning", she leaned closer and huddled against his shoulder. They both shift to his buzzing phone which he immediately switched off. "Who's calling at this part of the morning?", she asked. "Paige. She's definitely drunk ,otherwise she knows not to call me", he sighed. "Paige? Your booty call girl", she sass. "But we're no different. I was once given that title ", she add. Taehyung chuckled at how adorable she was. "You were never given that title ,baby ", he skimmed his hands up and down her back.
