words

The art of dialogue eludes me, like a hidden key,

And yet, across the chasm, I yearn to be free.

To share laughter, secrets, and dreams untold,

To bridge the gaps that silence often molds.

Tae: "because she's here, in our basement."

With wide eyes, Yoongi sprinted downstairs. The door slammed open with a resounding thud.

She was there, tied in ropes, bound and broken, head hung low. His heart sank. He forwarded his steps, going closer to her. She noticed his presence, and looked up at him.

Their eyes locked—a tempest of pain and fury swirling in hers. He kept looking at her. So she broke the eye contact, gulping the lump in her throat.

He stepped closer, reaching out, but she recoiled.

"Haz......."

"Don't you dare yoon?" Her voice held hate and pain

"Haz..." he wanted to talk.

"Just hear me out."

He moved to untie her, but she resisted.

"I don't need you."

"But I do," he whispered.

A bitter laugh escaped her.

"Hazel..."

"What do you want from me?"

"Don't speak to me like that, penguin."

They held eye contact.

"Don't call me that. You lost that right."

She said looking deep in his eyes.

"Let... me explain." He tried to talk.

"Explain what?" She shouted making tae who was standing at the door, Flinch.

"That you had to capture me? You want to know about that stupid murder case. I know nothing of these murders, Min Yoongi. Even if I did, my lips are sealed. So go ahead, end it!"

Tae flinched at her venom.

"I'll free you. Just let me..."

"I don't need your help, Mr. Min."

"Pen.........."

"SHUTTTT UPPP"

Namjoon appeared at the doorway, a silent observer. Listening to their conversation.

"Please, babe."

"Please what, Yoon? You abandoned me."

Her voice broke, Tears making their way to her cheeks.

"I never did"

"You did COWARD. You NEVER CAME BACK, You never returned." She was now crying. Yoongi was looking at her with teary eyes.

"I tried"

"Oh really? But why you have a new team to work with to protect to love, you must have got someone else cuz I was always a burden just an annoying creature for you..........."

"Haz please"

"Please what?? You could have told me. I was not a coward or selfish like you to only think about yourself. But you chose to run away. Leaving me alone. All our team, me us our our.......... You ruined me yoon" she said with heavy heart looking at the ceiling.
