Second Chance

Chapter 65

Taehyung walked into the basement, his presence commanding immediate attention. The room was dimly lit and the harsh light revealed the extent of Kai's suffering. Kai was tied to a wooden chair, his clothes in torm from the relentless torture. His hair was tangled and unkempt and his body bore numerous wounds, a testament to the brutality he had endured.

In front of Kai, a small bowl of rice and a jug of water were placed, an attempt to offer him some relief. However, Taehyung’s gaze barely lingered on the food, his focus was on Kai himself.

As Taehyung approached, his footsteps echoed sharply in the stillness of the basement. He moved with a deliberate calmness, his face expressionless but his eyes cold and calculating. The flickering light cast shadows over Kai’s battered form, highlighting the severity of his injuries.

Taehyung stopped a few feet away from Kai, his gaze steady and unyielding. “The guards have done their part very well,” he said in a controlled voice, each word measured and precise. “Now, it’s time for us to see how you’re holding up.” His tone was authoritative, hinting at the gravity of the situation and the extent of what might come next.

As Taehyung came closer Kai's fear became almost unbearable. He knew Taehyung had discovered all his plans, and he felt a deep sense of dread because he understood there was no way to escape the consequences now.

Kai’s mind raced with the realization that Jungkook’s death had been a direct result of his actions. The weight of this terror made him shiver uncontrollably and his attempts to move were weak and ineffective due to his fear.

Taehyung observed Kai’s state with a detached, almost cold satisfaction. Seeing Kai so terrified and helpless gave Taehyung a sense of bitter justice. For Taehyung, it was a moment of cruel comfort, a way to channel his own grief and anger over Jungkook’s loss into the current situation.

Taehyung positioned himself directly in front of Kai, his gaze piercing and unyielding.

"This is your last day my dear brother" Taehyung declared with a chilling finality.

Kai's eyes widened in fear. He began to shake his head frantically, trying to speak. "Tae-"

Before he could finish, Taehyung struck him with a powerful slap, causing the chair along with him to jolt and sway.

Without pausing, Taehyung gripped Kai's hair tightly in his fist. He began dragging Kai and the chair together towards the door.

Kai cried out in agony, tears streaming down his face as he tried to move and escape Taehyung's iron grip. Despite his efforts to shake free, Taehyung's hold was relentless. The pain was so intense that it felt as though Kai's scalp might tear away and Taehyung's grip showed no signs of loosening.

The entire palace quickly gathered outside after hearing Kai’s screams. The sight of Kai in his current state, being dragged by Taehyung, terrified everyone. Taehyung seemed less like a man and more like a relentless monster bent on exacting revenge, willing to go to any lengths.

Nefa, Mingyu and Bam also came outside but none of them attempted to stop Taehyung as they all felt that he was justified in his actions.

Taehyung dragged Kai to the main door and called out to the guards. The guards hurried to him and bowed in respect. Taehyung ordered them to untie Kai and once the ropes were removed, Kai remained seated in the chair without attempting to escape. He made no effort to flee as he was completely surrounded by guards and Taehyung stood directly in front of him.

Kai was too weak to fight back, having survived on only rice and water for a week. Everyone watched him with disdain, their hatred palpable. Kai, overwhelmed by shame and anger, looked down and clenched his fists in frustration but he was powerless to do anything.

Taehyung instructed, "In the next five minutes, have his shirt removed and tie him with a rope to the back of my car."

With that he went inside the palace to fetch his car. The guards, under pressure, quickly searched for a rope and soon returned with it.

One of the guards began to remove Kai's shirt but Kai grabbed his hand and forcefully shook him away. "How dare you remove my shirt in front of everyone here?" Kai demanded, his voice filled with fury.

The guard frightened and stopped midway. Seeing the situation escalate, Nefa stepped forward and told the guard to step back. Nefa took hold of Kai's shirt himself. As he did, Kai shoved him away and shouted "You fucking pathetic bitch you're nothing but a dog living off scraps. Got it?" He shouted to stop nefa from making him shirtless.

Nef enraged, approached Kai and slapped him with enough force to make Kai bleed from his lip. "If you utter even a single word now, I'll strip your pants along with shirt and leave you naked in front of everyone."

Nefa, showing no mercy, forcibly removed Kai's shirt and tied his legs with the rope. Kai screamed loudly but no one paid him any attention.

When Taehyung returned with his car and saw Kai shirtless and ropes around his feet he smirked, satisfied with the scene.

Taehyung got into his car and started the engine. The guards quickly tied the end of the rope, which was attached to Kai's legs, to the back of the car. Kai's back was on the ground and his legs were bound to the car.

Taehyung ordered, "The whole city needs to reach xyz place in just five minutes." Then he drove off.

He accelerated rapidly, causing Kai's back to scrape painfully against the ground. Kai screamed in agony as his back rubbed raw and began to bleed. Despite his cries, Taehyung ignored him and kept driving at high speed.

Kai could only cry as his back was severely scraped and blood left a trail on the road.

Kai's condition was dire. As Taehyung drove at high speed, his back was dragged along the rough road causing severe abrasion. His skin was scraped raw and blood poured from the wounds.

His screams of pain were desperate and continuous, but Taehyung ignored them. The intense friction and speed made Kai's back raw and bloody, leaving a trail of blood behind as he was dragged. His suffering was evident but there was no relief in sight.

The entire city, hearing Kai's screams, began to gather outside. The guards announced that it was the king’s order for everyone to reach xyz place within five minutes. As a result, businesses closed, gases were turned off, offices were locked, parks and markets were shut and schools were closed. Everyone hurried towards xyz place, leaving the city eerily empty.

Kai’s screams grew louder and more agonized as the pain intensified but Taehyung showed no sign of remorse.

When Taehyung arrived at xyz place, the entire city was assembled. He smirked and increased the car’s speed. As the car accelerated, Kai’s screams became even more intense but no one showed any sympathy.

Finally, Taehyung stopped the car and stepped out. The crowd bowed as he approached. Taehyung went to the back of the car and saw Kai, who was on the verge of losing consciousness. Taehyung kicked him in the face to wake him up. Kai’s eyes shot open as he looked around in terror.

Following Taehyung’s orders, the guards untied Kai. He was so weak that he could barely sit up and remained lying down, unable to muster any energy to move.
