The Devil Within (S1)

Chapter 4

Clinking sounds of the lighter in the dark room was heard as the men infront of him just pleaded for mercy.

"We- didn't- know w-who you are..-"

Taehyung chuckled darkly. "You do know now, and I'll make sure you never forget."

The sea waves hit the shore, the splashing sound of the water awfully comforting. The calmness suggesting the soul that something ravishing awaits it. The calmness undeniably warning for a storm as in life there is, a good phase always followed by a bad one or by another perspective, a bad phase, always followed by a good one.

The little boy chuckled as he played with the little waves on the shore while jumping in joy. His parents looked at him smiling.

The place dark now, the moon shining brightly in the sky. Taehyung lit up his cigarette and inhaled the toxic smoke. Thousands of thoughts lingering in his mind. How beautifully life had destroyed every part of him. Our past builds us, but breaks us multiple times in the process.

Taehyung's eyes turned dark as he saw a little kid running towards the sea. The breeze chilly and the air freezing. He was giggling adorably.

Taehyung looked at him with a blank expression as he was standing on a distance. "Tae-ho!" His mother came running to pick him up, seemingly, as if they both had run from somewhere threatening. Taehyung frowned with the boy's name having similarity as his name.

The mother took her child in her lap and ran away to a distance out of sight. Taehyung ignored this completely and exhaled the smoke, threw the cigarette, crushing it under his shoes. He stared at the sea for sometime and made his way back to his car.

"My soul crumbles below the burden of despair....I want to end it before it ends me but how can I do this, if then, it will end us?" Elenora chuckled as she talked to herself and wrote another letter.

"It has been 5 years love, tell me did you eat on time? Did you take care of yourself and not get sick? Did you sleep well? Take care of your mental health?" She mumbled to herself.

"I want to see you, I want to look at your dark brown eyes, which carry my entire world in them, it was not a 3 day affair, it was my everything...-" She sighed.

"Elenora, Mr. Kim wants to meet you." The nurse said with a smile, she was a new one, Elenora hadn't seen her before, so the old one resigned? That's weird.

Elenora groaned, "I don't wanna see his face."

"What if I say I want to see yours?" Taehyung spoke from behind as he leaned his back on the door. The nurse nodded and left.

Taehyung grinned and moved closer as Elenora was sitting lazily on the bed. "What do you want Kim?" She rolled her eyes.

"What happened with you?"

"Why do you want to know?" Elenora scoffed.

"To help you out." Taehyung shrugged. "I'll do it to the best of my abilities."

"I don't need help, my sister sent me here forcefully without any reason." Elenora scoffed.

"Your sister is there in Spain, living her life with her husband, and you're rotting in the asylum, there must be a good reason for it?" Taehyung asked.

"Fine, how will you cure me? I am a person who has lost my love, and I am not ready to move on. What will you do then huh?" She rolled her eyes.

"Firstly, stop rolling your eyes, doll." He chuckles.
