Chapter 107
The villa was located halfway up the hill.
There was a winding but smooth road starting at the bottom of the hill that led straight to the villa.
From there onwards, however, there were no roads leading to the top of the hill.
It was already dark out when Jungkook had begun his journey from the villa.
Using his flash as a torchlight, he hurried up the hill.
He was worried for Taehyung's safety.
Gof had bad intentions when it came to Tae, and he was terrified of what might happen to him if he was too late.
He would never have allowed Tae to come alone if he knew about Gof's evil plans.
Half an hour later and Jungkook was breathing heavily, but it was nothing compared to the hell his legs were going through.
His doctor had ordered him not to do any extraneous activities for the next six months.
He was only allowed to walk normally and not for long periods of time either.
Activities like hiking that wear out the knees were out of the question and carried extreme risks.
The cold wind rustled the leaves of the trees in the darkness.
Jungkook was forced to come to a halt as he began to feel a sharp pain in the lower half of his body.
He tried to call his bodyguard, but there was still no signal.
He could make his way down the hill. The little energy he had left would allow him to do that much.
The thought vanished from his mind as quickly as it had appeared.
He powered through his discomfort and continued up the hill.
He had to find Tae and bring him safely down the hill.
It was at that moment that Jungkook met with an accident…
His aching legs could no longer support him, causing him to lose his balance and fall backward.
As he fell, he did not think of how afraid he felt, nor did he think of death. The only thought in his mind was Taehyung's face.
His boxy smile, his tears, the way his brows furrowed when he was angry, his calm composure…
It was all Taehyung.
Fear only struck him at the very end, when he thought of what Gof might be doing to him!
He fell into a bottomless pit of darkness.
The sharp, blunt thuds that rang in his ears were the sounds of him hitting against hard rocks and branches.
He had no idea what he was falling into, nor did he know if this was how he would meet his doom.
“Jungkook! Can you hear me? Jeon Jungkook!” Taehyung yelled at the top of his lungs into the silent darkness. “I didn’t go up there! Jungkook!
I’m right here!”
“We’re coming for you, boss!” cried Jungkook's bodyguard. “Say something if you hear us! Say something! We’ll come get you!”
Their calls were met with nothing but an unsettling breeze and eerie silence.
The further Taehyung walked, the more terrified he became.
The path up the hill was impossibly steep!
He was only able to make his way up from holding on to the bodyguard’s arm.
With his legs still recovering, why would Jungkook come to a place like this?!
Why would he dare?!
How could he?
Hot tears escaped from the corners of Taehyung's eyes.
“Jungkook!” he cried through gasping sobs.
The bodyguard felt Taehyung was slowing down his progress, so he shook him off and said, “Wait right here. I’ll go look for him!”
He then turned away and continued to walk up the hill.
Taehyung wiped the tears off his face and resumed his way up the difficult path.
He could not stand around and do nothing!
It was impossible!
He had to find Jungkook!
He had to tell him himself that he did not walk up that hill! He had to tell him that, even if he did go there, he should not have taken such a big risk to go after him!
Was he not an intelligent person?
Where did all of his intelligence go?!
What about his reason?
Did everything disappear into thin air?! Taehyung's tears blurred his vision as he continued his journey into the unknown.
