FALLEN (Zhenya x Taekjoo)

CHAPTER 29

Taekjoo stirs from his sleep, his head throbbing, he becomes acutely aware of his surroundings. The room is unfamiliar, yet the air is heavy with a sense of foreboding. The memory of the night's events flashes through his mind like a nightmare, leaving him feeling cold and vulnerable.

He sees Zhenya standing there, his presence both menacing and intoxicating. Taekjoo can feel the demonic energy emanating from the Prince, his eyes radiating an unsettling darkness..

Taekjoo can feel his heart pounding like crazy, He wants to run, hide, do whatever it takes to escape Zhenya’s grip. But he knows the demon Prince won't just watch him do that, he just hopes he can get out of this alive.

Zhenya’s voice drips with rage, his eyes blazing. "You think I won't notice you running away?"

The room was silent, Taekjoo didn't respond making the demon more annoyed.

It wasn't Taekjoo's escape that irked him to this point but the scene that was visibly clear as day in his head with Taekjoo with another man.

" Answer me!! " Zhenya roared making Taekjoo flinch

“I-I just needed some space,” Taekjoo spoke rushing his words, his voice shaking. He knows it’s useless, but he’s got to try something.

Zhenya laughs. “You don’t get space from me. Not after what you did.” His eyes narrow. “Did you think i didn't see you and that other angel.” He squinted his eyes at Taekjoo not wanting to miss his reaction.

Taekjoo's blood ran cold. He knows Zhenya was talking about Gyu. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he blurts out, his voice shaky.

Zhenya moves in closer, his voice low and dangerous. “You think I’m some kinda fool?” He’s close enough now that Taekjoo can feel his breath on his skin. “I saw you two together. I know You've been screwing around on me, Kwon Taekjoo."

Now Taekjoo knew he was a screwed, Zhenya just called his full name and not his usual 'sweetie'

He might die today.

“I-I didn’t mean to,” Taekjoo stammers, trying to keep his cool. “I was drunk. I thought it was you…”

Taekjoo though feeling fear he was embarrassed to tell the demon

Zhenya blinked his frown disappearing, he point to himself, to Taekjoo and himself again then he suddenly lets out a humorless chuckle.

“You thought it was me? So that’s supposed to make it okay? Do you think I'd- sigh-” His eyes with rage. “I should kill you right here, right now.”

Taekjoo feels his chest tighten with fear. “Please,” he whispers,

Zhenya’s face darkens, like a storm brewing. His hand shoots out, grabbing Taekjoo by the throat, his grip like iron.

Taekjoo feels like he can’t breathe, his lungs burning.

“Please…” he gasps, his eyes watering. “I’m sorry…”

Zhenya’s gaze is cold, his eyes like daggers

“You’re sorry?” Zhenya’s voice is low, his anger barely contained. “Sorry doesn’t cut it. You’re mine. You don’t get to do what you want.”

Taekjoo feels like he’s gonna faint. He can’t think straight, his mind foggy from the pain and fear.

Zhenya’s grip tightens, and he pulls Taekjoo closer, their faces almost touching.

Zhenya’s voice is a whisper, but his eyes are still blazing with anger.

“You think you’re some innocent little angel? You don’t know shit.” His fingers dig into Taekjoo’s skin, leaving red marks.
