BLOSSOMED | SEOKSOO FF

PART 03

As soon as Jihoon and Dino's
footsteps faded away, Seokmin's
whole demeanor shifted, darkening
with an intensity that made Jisoo's
heart stop. The door clicked shut and Jisoo felt a chill spread down his spine as he looked at Seokmin's face, twisted with silent rage.

Without a word, Seokmin stalked
towards him, and Jisoo instinctively
took a step back, dread pooling in his stomach.

But there was no escape.

Before he could think, Seokmin's hand shot out, grabbing him by the collar and slamming him hard against the wall.

"You thought you could outsmart me?" Seokmin's voice was deadly calm, but his eyes glinted with fury, "You think I wouldn't know what you
were doing?

"Seokmin.. please," Jisoo's voice came out in a shaky whisper, pleading. "I didn't.. I didn't tell them anything.

"Liar," Seokmin spat, his grip tightening as his face twisted further with betrayal. "You think I'm stupid, Jisoo? I saw the way you looked at Jihoon... like he could save you from me. Do you really think you can escape? From me?"

Jisoo tried to shake his head, tried to convince Seokmin, but his words were swallowed in fear.

"Seokmin, I swear... swear I didn't..."

Seokmin's patience snapped. He raised his hand and struck Jisoo hard across the face, the impact sharp and blinding. Jisoo's head whipped to the side, his cheek stinging with the force, but before he could recover.

Seokmin grabbed him by the shoulders and threw him back against the wall, harder this time. Jisoo felt the solid impact of his skull against the wall, a wave of dizziness flooding his senses

"Look at me," Seokmin growled,
gripping Jisoo's face with a rough hand and forcing him to meet his gaze. "Do you even understand what
you've done?"

Jisoo's vision blurred, but through
the haze, he could see Seokmin's eyes, filled with something dark and relentless. He opened his mouth to
apologize, to beg for mercy, but his
words came out as broken sobs,
powerless against Seokmin's fury.

"You think you're the victim here?"
Seokmin's voice broke, trembling as
he pushed Jisoo's head back against
the wall. "You think you're the one
who's suffering? You don't understand... You don't understand
what you make me do, Jisoo!"

With that, Seokmin's grip tightened,
and he slammed Jisoo's head back
against the wall, harder this time.
Pain exploded in Jisoo's skull, a sharp, searing ache that spread through his entire body. He gasped, vision fading in and out as Seokmin hit him again, each blow sending fresh waves of agony through him.

Blood trickled down the side of Jisoo's face, warm and sticky, but Seokmin didn't stop.

His hands shook as he pulled Jisoo closer, his expression twisted in a mixture of rage and guilt that only made him look more terrifying.

"Do you see what you're making me
do?" Seokmin's voice cracked
sounding almost desperate. "This.
this is all your fault, Jisoo. If you just listened... if you just trusted me..."

Jisoo's strength was fading, his body sagging in Seokmin's grip as he struggled to stay conscious. But
Seokmin didn't stop. He held Jisoo's
face in his blood-stained hands, tears streaming down his own face as he whispered, "Why, Bluebell? Why do you force me to hurt you like this?"

Jisoo's own tears mixed with his blood as he looked up at Seokmin, too broken to respond. His mind was clouded with pain, his body exhausted and battered, and all he
could feel was the overwhelming
despair of knowing he was trapped,
unable to escape from Seokmin's
obsessive love.

"You'll see one day, Bluebell," Seokmin
murmured, his voice softening as he
brushed a thumb over Jisoo's bruised cheek. "One day, you'll understand that this... this is all for you. That I'd do anything to keep you safe.. even from yourself."

And with those words, he released
Jisoo, letting him crumple to the floor in a broken heap, his body aching, his heart shattered. As Seokmin walked away, his words echoed in Jisoo's mind, a twisted reminder of the prison he could never escape.
