The Escort S2

Part 85: Please come back to me

Taehyung's POV

Teoki believes a higher power brought Saeji back because their love was so strong. He's seriously insane with very small cracks of sanity. At times he calls me Saeji and then Taehyung. He is grossly unstable.

I try to be brave as I search for my opportunity. My phone sounds and I jump. I look at him and he nods. I unlock the screen and see Kookie's message.

"Yummy, you make the best egg salad. See you in one hour, Taehyung."

And, with that, I know he's coming for me. He never calls me Taehyung, nor do I call him Jungkook. The first morning after we made love in our penthouse, I found out he was allergic to eggs.

"Saeji, we need to leave. They will try to separate us. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a comb that is encrusted with jewels. It's beautiful and was likely Saeji's. He slides closer and slowly and very gently begins to comb my hair. It's all so creepy and I flinch with every stroke.

His movements are slow. He combs my hair and talks at the same time.

"I don't like this hair length or the style. We'll restore you."

He then reaches up and slowly removes my earrings and replaces them with diamond studs. I allow it for the sake of burning more time. He then reaches for my engagement diamond and I yank my hand away. This I will not allow. He nods and whispers the word 'later.'

"There you go, my love. It will take time, but you will be as you were. As we were. I cannot wait. We will be beyond happy."

He is so out of touch he didn't know Saeji was so very unhappy. He couldn't hear it or wouldn't.

"Teoki, where are we going?" I ask.

And for the first time, I see a sincere smile. A smile that he had reserved just for Saeji. I feel scared yet a sadness for him and Saeji.

"A very special place where I can care for you and where no one can reach us. We'll never again be separated. It's the most beautiful place on earth."

I shudder with fear. I've heard of how brilliant he is and he's just the man to make that happen.

"You are so beautiful, and I cannot wait to be alone with my husband. He takes his hand and runs it down my arm in an intimate sexual way. I shrink away and want to vomit at his touch. He makes my skin crawl because he is not my Kookie, and it feels like a violation. I must act now.

Author's POV

"Faster, Jihoon, please drive faster!" Lisa shouts.

"Pull over and let me drive!"

"Calm down, Lisa! It serves no one any good if we have an accident.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I-I'm just so scared."

"Oh my God, Jihoon. What have we done?" Lisa says as tears flow down her face. "We broke this man."

"Lisa, he was already broken. Don't do that to yourself. He's sick and needed to be stopped. Don't forget all the people he hurt. Maybe we failed by underestimating his connection between Saeji and Tae. I know we need to get there before Kookie. Because he'll kill Teoki. Teoki is not violent. He just doesn't see the effects of his actions on others. His focus is Saeji and now Tae. I suspect he'll try to take him."

"Oh no, Oh no! Jihoon, Tae's mental stability is fragile. I told you about his trauma with his abusive ex-boyfriend. He was pretty much holding Tae in captivity. He had a breakdown before, and this will trigger his trauma."
