DARK SIDE

AUTHOR'S POV

The next few days were very, a lot better than before. When Mr Kim got to know about the incident,he was really angry. He was ready to go and give them the same pain as they gave to Jennie.

But Taehyung told him they need to know more about them. About the things Jennie is hiding. Hurt, annoy, constrain, injure, punish, sadden, sting, upset, wound they have given her.

Taehyung has ordered his men to be around her everyday and every time. They should be with her like her shadow, silhouette, reflection, and penumbra.

And his gardener to give her the best flowers from their garden everyday in the morning. Before she wakes up. And they do as they were told.

He would kiss before going to work, even if she was sleeping. And kiss her when he comes back. He was still cold and rude sometimes, not consistently.

But there was something that Jennie wanted to ask him. For his persuasion and exhortation. Every time she tries always stops thinking. Maybe tomorrow.

But she can't put it off for long. That is near when she has to make a decision. After thinking for so long she finally got Intrepidity.

One night Taehyung was sitting on the bed working laptop shirtless. His tattoos were in full view and they were giving Jennie a feeling that she never had. Especially his tiger and snake tattoo that was covering his arms from shoulder and

"Umm Taehyung i-i. I want to tell you something. Can I?" Jennie asked and Taehyung looked at her for a moment before putting his laptop on the nightstand and turned to her again.

"Me too." He said looking into her eyes. He was not looking at her. He was looking at her soul.

"Oh you can first."

"Okay."Taehyung said while taking a deep breath

"What! Okay! Does he even know what he is saying? Oh he has no manners. Wasn't he supposed to say no you go first? Like all gentlemen do? Oh Jennie what are you thinking he is not a gentleman. And definitely not gentle! Him and gentle can't never be in the same sentence!" Jennie mumbled to herself without looking at him.

"Did you say something?"

"No!"

"So I was saying, pack up your things till the end of the week because-" but before he could complete his word Jennie cut him off.

"Are you leaving me? Please don't! If I have done something wrong please forgive me. You can punish me with anything. Your belt, whip, strap, lash, rod, trounce, welt. But please don't leave me! Taehyung please don't. I will die if you leave. Please don't leave me!" Jennie holding up her hands together beseech, entreating him in between her sobs. Her face was wet from tears.

"Jennie, Jennie listen to me. I'm not leaving you nor beating you or anything like you said. I'm asking you to pack your stuff cause we are going to Jeju for two weeks!" He said whipping her tears off of her cheek gently rubbing her cut that is now healed completely.

"Huh?" She looks at him with anarchy. No indecipherable what he was saying? He is not leaving me? She thought while looking at him in confusion.

"Yes I'm not leaving you. Mom said that I should take to put somewhere cause spend most of your time in the house and then the danger around won't let you. So..........Yeah. and what were you asking?" He asked softly but his voice was still deep and had that heaviness in it.

"Well umm I wanted to ask if you know a good lawyer? I want to make some papers urgently."

"Which papers? What papers?" Now he panicked for no reason. He doesn't get panicked about big things as he is getting panicked over what? He doesn't even know.
