Fragile Longing (Taekook)

Chapter Twenty

Love is like a painting
filled with all colours and shades
love is like a bleeding heart
cut with many sharp blades
love is like a never ending story
that always begins with a kiss
love is like a space everlasting
that fills bitterness with bliss

There was silence all around him. Silent, as calm as darkness, as painful as not breathing, as devastating as ruin..surrounding him, drowning him, threatening to burn him alive without any salvation in sight.

He was breaking. He was breaking apart.

"Bad children don't get to eat Baby Koo. You won't get it either." A silhouette, tall, submerged in the night fell upon him, eyes red, thorns on head, blades for fingers, came towards him making him hide in the corner more. "They gets punished instead. They gets eaten. By monsters."

"M..momma.." The child cried, sobbed, yelled yet those blades tore his skin apart, the crimson red surrounding him.

"What did I tell you? There is no Momma for you. You don't get to have a Momma. Worthless piece of garbage like you don't deserve a Momma.."

"Koo..hurt..mommaa.."The child cried out in pain, strength leaving his body little by little as that monster came forward, threatening to chew him and gulp him whole. He inched backward, slipping in his own blood as that monster came towards him, Those claw took a hold of his body, making that fragile form dangle in the air as that monster came forwards to eat him.

"WHICH PART YOU DON'T GET? YOU DON"T HAVE A MOMMA..."

"N..no...no..don't do it to me...koo hurt..Koo hurting...Koo hurt." He vehemently brushed his arms as if removing something from there while tears keep escaping his eyes. Those claws were closing in again. They were gonna eat him alive this time. He knew. His eyes became frantic as a hand touched his body making him erupt. Screaming filled the room as John tried to hold him down with the help of Robert.

They have been trying to do it for the past half hour. Just so that the doctor can at least give him anesthesia. Cause he was getting out of control.

"D..don't touch koo..don't. LET ME GO. LET ME GO..please..let me go Don't hu..hurt koo." His voice got smaller in the end, his body thrashing up, the loud thunder outside only seems to make him suffer more. His sobbing increased again as his eyes roam around the room frantically. Lips again uttering that one word. That one confusing word that no one was understanding. "Pshyco." He screamed, the rain increased outside, light flashing making the boy even more cower into himself as he thrashed in those hands around him.

"Kook..kook..it's me. Your Uncle John." He tried to reason with the child who was sobbing in full force now, his breathing becoming uneven. It was clear. He was hyperventilating.

"What are you doing?" John yelled at the doctor who tried to push the injection in but having difficulty cause that boy kept moving vehemently.

"I am trying. You need to hold him still. Otherwise it is difficult to find a vein." The doctor said, feeling helpless herself. Cause even she knew, she needs to do it sooner. The foam that was forming around the boy's mouth was proof enough. It was already late. If she delays it any more they're will be consequences to pay.

Yet that boy..he was not stopping. He was not..untill he slipped from those hand just before she could push the injection in. He sprinted as soon as he could, ruining out of the room, those claws following behind.

John was now full on panicking as he ran behind the boy who was now running at full speed, his eyes frantic, making that man fear of the worst, especially when that boy ran towards the stairs.
