VENOM | TAEHYUNG

46

The sky was painted with millions of twinkling stars as the rain beat down on the ground. The wind howling and making the trees dance to its tunes.

Anastasia raced through the streets - barefoot and in her pajamas. When Taehyung did not come home , she had tried to call him several times before his mother had picked up and informed her that they were at the hospital with him. Anastasia was not told how he had gotten injured or to what extent- but here she was , running as if a mountain lion were chasing her.

Did he meet in an accident?

Was this her fault? Her mind was clouded with pain and the fear of losing him. She could not lose him. She could not lose the only thing keeping her alive. Taehyung was her lifeline - without him, she'd crumble. She'd have no one. He was her person.

The cars honked as she blindly ran across the street, pushing her way through traffic to get to the hospital ahead. Breathless and wet - she pant as she rushed up the staircase, barely entering through the doors when Namjoon appeared , gripping her by the arm and yanking her back down the staircase. "Hey! Hey! What are you doing !", Ana screamed, trying to free herself before he pushed her onto the ground. Anastasia swallowed the lump in her throat as she looked up at joon. "Why the fuck are you here?", he grit. Anastasia was still trying to catch her breath, she had been running for almost 20 minutes. "What do you mean?", she asked. "No one wants you here, Anastasia", he yelled above the sound of the drumming rain. "Taehyung - I'm here for him. Your mother had told me he was here", she picked herself off the floor, tears pooling in her confused eyes. "My mother does not want you here ! She was frantic when you called earlier and it just slipped out. You have fucked with our lives long enough. I'm tired of being the brother who sits back and does nothing ", he snapped.

"I have no idea what's going on. Can I please see him", she begged as the tears trickle down her crimson cheeks. "Taehyung and Jungkook fought", he blurt, causing her to stiffen. "If Tae does not wake up , Jungkook is going to prison ", he said through clenched teeth. "What", she whispered. All of this information was too much to process. "This is all your fucking fault. We were fine! We were fucking fine before you showed up", he yelled. "You ruined a happy home!", he blamed her. Joon was well aware that they never did have a happy home , they never behaved like brothers - but, this time things were different. Jungkook would go to prison if Taehyung did not regain consciousness. Due to severe trauma to his head , he had slipped into a coma.

"My fault?", she whispered and stared at the wet ground, the tears flood her pink skin. "Yes. All of this is your fucking fault. My parents are suffering because of you! You are so selfish. Just because you had no happy home or parents, you've made it your goal to ruin ours!", he lashed out. "Congratulations, you've managed to achieve your goal quite effortlessly ", he clapped. "Now get the fuck out of our lives. I will make sure you never see Taehyung ever again. He is in this mess because of you! If he dies- his blood is on your hands!", he point at her. Anastasia was shivering , lips quivering and heart ripping to shreds inside her cold body. "Let me see him", she sobbed. "Let me see him, please ", She begged.

"Are you deaf? I said leave. I will not allow you to see him. Besides, my parents do not want you here. No one does ! So fuck off!", he seethe. Anastasia glanced at the hospital- she had to see him. She did not believe joon. What if taehyung was okay and namjoon was just chasing her away for no reason? She had to know for herself. She had to see him. "Leave!", he shoved her roughly. Anastasia pushed past him, racing up the staircase. "Stop you fucking crazy bitch!", he yelled out and chased after her. Anastasia rushed into the hospital, slipping on the marble tiling and falling hard on her knees.

"Are you okay, mam?", one of the nurses helped her up. "Where is the icu?", she pant. "Second floor", the nurse respond. Anastasia thanked her and hurriedly scurried to the elevator. "Anastasia!", joons voice made her ditch the elevator for the stairs. Her legs were going to cave- she was drained and overwhelmed. She could not stop crying. Was Taehyung really in a coma? She slipped again but picked herself up and ran toward the icu ward. "Mam?", the security stopped her from entering. "I'm here to see a patient ", she breathlessly spoke. "Do not let her in", joon showed up. "Is she family?", the security asked joon, who scoffed. "No. She is a lunatic", he frowned. "Please, I need to see the patient", she begged the security. "Please ", she sobbed. "Get out of here, you are creating ruckus ", joon nagged. "Why are you doing this to me?", she sniffled. "Taehyung would want to see me", she furrowed her brows. "Taehyung is not around , sweetheart. I suggest you leave before I get security to drag you out", he threatened.

"What is she doing here?".

They both turn to their father who walked out of the ward. "She is being selfish and stubborn ", joon explained. "Listen girl. You have caused our family enough pain. It's time for you to leave before I decide to ruin your life", he warned. "I am not leaving without seeing taehyung", she whispered. "Get her out of my face", their father grit. "Please escort her out", namjoon said to the security. "I want to see him!", she screamed - her voice echoing. "Mam, you can not make a noise in the icu ward", the security informed. "What don't you understand! I am his lover! I want to see him!", she tried to push the security aside but he held her wrists tightly. "Let go! Let go!", she continued to scream hysterically.

"What is going on?", a few nurses gathered. "She is mentally ill", joon lied. "Please sedate her", he add. "What? No! I am fine! I just want to see my Tae! Please, I will do anything!", she tried to free herself from the security grip. "Hold her down", the nurse instruct. "What! No! Taehyung! ", she kicked and flopped around but the security held her down , allowing the nurse to inject her with a calming sedative. "Please ", she whimpered as the needle broke through her skin, releasing the drug into her system. "Let her relax", the nurse said , asking the security to back off as Anastasia laid on the floor, tears tumbling down her cheeks as she slowly passed out.

"Midazolam ", the nurse said to namjoon. "It's a sleeping remedy ", she informed as they placed Anastasia on a wheelchair. "When she regains consciousness, have a guard escort her out. We do not want her anywhere near this ward ", joon ordered. The nurse simply nod and asked the others to take Ana away.

"What are we going to do with her? She's like a leech ", their father sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I will sort it out", joon gave his shoulder a squeeze. "I have to go to the station to bail kookie out", he whispered. "Stay with your mother. She is still shaken up", he add , earning a nod from joon. He will go through any length to keep his family together. Joon was a doctor - he knew everything about tae's condition. He was not brain dead - he prayed it never came to that. How hard did jungkook hit him ? He recalled when Taehyung fell off the balcony. Despite the impact, he never went into a coma.

Jungkooks anger really got the best of him. Joon knew this was not Anastasia's fault. Jungkook had been after taehyung since they were kids. Ofcourse he was pissed that his girlfriend was inlove with Tae. That upset jungkook more than Anastasia working at a club. Everything was falling apart and no one could stop it. Their lives had changed in the blink of an eye. The decisions they made had lead them to this destination.

It was a destructive ending.
