Hellborn Abyss

Chapter 13

Yoongi sat in his hideout, the dim light casting long shadows across the room. He was restless, his thoughts a tangled mess. He had been wrestling with his emotions for days, feeling an overwhelming sense of confusion and frustration. He needed some clarity, so he reached out to his uncle Taehmin for support.

Yoongi picked up his phone and dialed Taehmin's number. After a few rings, his uncle answered.

Taehmin: "Yoongi? What's going on?"

Yoongi: (Hesitant) "Hey, Uncle Taehmin. I hope I'm not catching you at a bad time."

Taehmin: "Not at all. What's on your mind?"

Yoongi took a deep breath, searching for the right words.

Yoongi: "I've been dealing with a lot lately. There's something on my mind, and I'm finding it hard to focus on anything else."

Taehmin: "That sounds troubling. Do you want to talk about it?"

Yoongi hesitated, not ready to reveal the details about Bianca, but feeling the need to unload some of his burden.

Yoongi: "It's just... I've been thinking a lot about the recent cases I've been involved in. There's a lot of confusion and mixed feelings, and it's affecting me more than I expected."

Taehmin: (Concerned) "It's normal to feel overwhelmed when you're dealing with complex and intense situations. Sometimes, those emotions can linger and make it hard to move on."

Yoongi: "Yeah, I guess that's it. It's hard to make sense of everything that's been happening. I thought I could handle it, but it's been getting to me."

Taehmin: "It's important to acknowledge and confront these emotions. Ignoring them or trying to push them away might not be the best approach. Sometimes, talking through your feelings or finding a way to express them can help you find clarity."

Yoongi: "I'm just worried that these feelings might cloud my judgment or lead me down a path I don't want to go. I don't want to be swayed by things that could end up being detrimental."

Taehmin: "It's understandable to be cautious, especially when dealing with intense emotions. The key is to be honest with yourself and try to understand where these feelings are coming from. Facing them head-on might give you the answers you need."

Yoongi: "I appreciate that, Uncle Taehmin. I'm going to try to process everything and see if I can find some clarity."

Taehmin: "Anytime, Yoongi. If you need more advice or just someone to talk to, you know I'm here."

Yoongi: "Thanks. I'll keep that in mind."

Yoongi ended the call with Taehmin and sat in silence, the weight of his uncle's advice still fresh in his mind. He felt a slight sense of relief, but the emotional turmoil remained. He needed to focus and regain his sense of control.

The door creaked open, and Jisoo walked in, her presence immediately drawing Yoongi's attention. She had always been confident and alluring, but tonight her demeanor seemed even more deliberate. She approached him with a sultry smile, her eyes filled with a mix of curiosity and intent.

Jisoo: "You've been working too hard, Yoongi. Maybe you need a break."

Yoongi looked up, his mind still swirling with thoughts of Bianca. Jisoo's advances were a distraction he wasn't prepared for. He forced himself to focus on her, but his thoughts kept drifting back to Bianca—the mysterious woman who had both saved him and stirred his emotions.

Yoongi: (Distantly) "Jisoo, I... I'm not in the mood for this right now."

Jisoo's smile faltered slightly, but she maintained her composure, moving closer to him. She placed a hand on his shoulder, her touch both warm and intimate.

Jisoo: "Are you sure? You look like you could use some company."

Yoongi tried to push away the thoughts of Bianca, but they kept intruding. The image of her fierce determination, her vulnerability, and the way she had looked at him during their last encounter clouded his mind. The emotions he felt were too strong to ignore.

Yoongi: (Shaking his head) "Jisoo, I appreciate the offer, but... I can't stop thinking about something—someone. It's been hard to focus on anything else."

Jisoo's eyes narrowed, a steely determination in her gaze. She stepped closer to Yoongi, her tone shifting from seductive to intense.

Jisoo: "I know what's going on. It's that Bianca, isn't it? The one who's been causing you all this trouble."

Yoongi looked up, surprise and frustration evident on his face.

Yoongi: "What are you talking about?"

Jisoo crossed her arms, her expression a mix of anger and resolve.

Jisoo: "I know she's been a problem for you. If she's making you this conflicted, I'll handle it myself. I'll make sure she's out of the picture. That fucking bitchy demon is messing up with you."

Yoongi's eyes flared with anger as he stood up, his voice rising.

Yoongi: "Don't you dare. You don't know anything about her. She's not a demon, she's—she's a human with angelic blood. Yes, she has demon blood too, but that doesn't make her a demon!"

Jisoo's frustration was palpable as she confronted Yoongi, her tone harsh and accusing.

Jisoo: "Oh, really? So, you're telling me you've developed feelings for a half-demon? You think you can just ignore what she is? She's dangerous, Yoongi."

Yoongi's face turned red with fury, his voice rising to a thunderous roar.

Yoongi: "Don't you dare talk about her like that! You have no idea what you're saying. Bianca is not just some monster to be eradicated. She's saved my life, and she's more than what her bloodline suggests!"

Jisoo took a step back, taken aback by Yoongi's outburst, but she didn't back down.

Jisoo: "I'm trying to protect you, Yoongi. She's a risk, and you're too blinded by your emotions to see it."

Yoongi's anger reached its peak, his fists clenched tightly at his sides.

Yoongi: "Listen to me very carefully. If you touch even a single hair on Bianca's head, I swear to you, Jisoo, you will be the next one I hunt for the rest of my life. I'll make sure you regret ever crossing her."

Jisoo's eyes widened in shock, her expression a mix of anger and disbelief. She opened her mouth to retort, but Yoongi's fierce gaze silenced her.

Jisoo: "You think you can protect her forever? She's dangerous, and you're risking everyone around you."

Yoongi: "I don't need your protection or your judgment. I'm making my own choices about who to trust and who to fight. Stay away from Bianca, Jisoo. If you don't, you'll have me to answer to."

With that, Yoongi turned away from Jisoo, his anger still simmering. Jisoo's face contorted with frustration as she stormed out of the room, leaving Yoongi alone with his turbulent thoughts.

As the door slammed shut behind her, Yoongi took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He knew that confronting his feelings for Bianca was not going to be easy, but he was determined to protect her, no matter the cost.
