The Liar And Her Love

Chapter 57:

Feb'33
Taeri

My body couldn't move and the whole room was dark, I called out for my brother but he wasn't able to hear me.

I screamed and then I immediately realised it was a sleep paralysis episode.

Calm down. I have gone through this multiple times in my life, I should be okay but that facade went down the drain when I felt the darkness climbing over me.

Agh, I wanted to cry but tears didn't come.

I was screaming but no one was helping, the darkness took the form of a head, body and limbs. Pressing onto my body, rubbing on my neck whispering in my ears.

I screamed as loud as I could but I was so sure nobody could hear me. I tried closing my eyes but I could feel every inch of the monsters.

Initially the darkness never approached me, it would be in the corner of the room, then it moved closer and closer until it was wrapped all over me like right now.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN STRESS or SOMETHING I don't know.

I can't help but think about the person I fear most and how I ended them. The fear their ghost still looms around me is so strong, I fear darkness, my nightmares are scarier than the person I feared most and the slightest reminder of them could have me weak.

"Agh"

I screamed as I jolted up. The whole room was dark. The curtains were open with the view of my backyard.

I'm in the United Kingdom, not in korea. I'm far away from the place that haunts me, I'll be back there in a few months I need to calm down.

There were tears running down my face and sweat all over my body. I was shivering. The whole room was dark.

"R-ryan!" I screamed.

"Ryan!!" I screamed trying to grab onto the pillow.

I heard footsteps running and he finally entered switching the light on.

He saw me and ran towards to hug me. When he did, he burst out crying.

"I'm sorry for waking you up" I could barely speak while crying.

"Shush. Calm down. Calm down. Give me your phone tell me in details, I'll note today's episode" he said and I nodded.

I was asked to note down details of each episode to compare each of them.

He held onto me tight as, I told him each detail and he noted it down. I'm turning 28 this year and I have had this since I was 13-14. 15 goddamn years and I am still broken into million pieces.

Sept'33
Jimin

All of us were in Indian attire. A few moments ago, ven's maternal side joined us.

Her uncle, her grandparents. They reconciled a few years ago but deep down Ven doesn't see them much either, everyone here knows they were invited so Taeri can bitch slap them with money to put them down and satisfy ven.

That's probably her wedding gift to Ven or something.

These girls lie somewhere between a scale of petty and sadistic.

A lot of celebrities, family friends and what not people showed up. The whole palace was beaming with people.

Everyone in Indian traditions. Today we mark the beginning of the ceremony. I can't believe the wedding would go on for a week.

When I got married, we just said yes, signed the papers and it was over. It was an arrangement however this is nuts.

"APPAAAA" Sarang screamed and I immediately turned around to see her running towards me dresses in a skirt and matching top with a lot of jewelleries. They dress her in Indian.

I lifted her up and saw the glimpse of another sight.

I froze.

"Appa, see noona" I slowly turned my head towards the stairs. Ven was walking down but behind her was Taeri who stepped forward matching to Ven's step.

She was talking to Ven while trying to put her earrings.

Her skin against the sparkles of the dress was perfect.

Her untamed hair as beautiful as always. Jungkook stood just next to me looking at the same place.

"I'll go pick up a call" nobody cares Taehyung.

Taeri stepped down, she was in a long skirt with squared mirrors all over it, a matching small crop top and a long cloth over her neck and chest.

The cloth was long on one side and tucked on one side. Her face was shining with whatever the put on her face, it felt like magic.

There were silver bangles on her wrist and they clinked as her hands moved working on her earrings. I took a huge breath and walked closer, Taeri turned towards me in suprise.

I could barely hear anyone but her and the sound of her bangles.

I softly took the earring from her hands, she put one in place, was just not able to put this one since she was walking while she was putting it on.

I fastened the back lock of the earring and tucked her back, only to look at her and she was red.

"Jimin.." she whispered.

And she takes my name again, like I want to take her's.

Bonus

Jungkook and Jimin getting drunk after Sarang's athletic meet.

"Jimin, do you have a C type cable?" Jungkook asks and jimin nodded.

"My bed side table" he responded and jungkook nodded before walking towards the table.

"Jimin why do you have women's earrings on her bed side table table drawer" jungkook said showing the pair of earrings.

Jimin's eyes widened and he rushed towards jungkook who extended his arms upwards and Jimin couldn't take it.

He simply hid his face and sat on the couch.

"I swear, I'm going to break your bones, if this breaks Taeri's heart" they weren't even a thing.

Yet.

"They are Taeri's" Jimin whispered and Jungkook couldn't hear.

"What?"

"They are Taeri's"

"What are you even saying. Speak clearly"

"THEY ARE TAERI'S"

"what?" Jungkook was in utter shock as Jimin grabbed those earrings and put them back in place.

"On the day of our school reunion, I have it from then" Jimin mumbled at the end.
