The Leap

Interact with the chapters if you're reading. Being a writer, I try my best to pour my heart into each chapter. The least I expect from my readers is to interact with comments and votes. When the interaction is so low even when the chapters receive over 1k views , it k!lls the motivation to even write a word .

Taehyung's POV

My father's words set off a burst of chill down my spine . The ticking of the wall clock was the only thing that resonated in the midst of the silence which had fallen.  With the pause and chill came the rush tunneling in and it crashed causing my own thoughts to scatter into pieces. 

" E&V ?" While I spelt the initials out , I could feel the burn in my throat. I could never forget those initials, not when it was something I had come up with in the past . It was something which I had formed to keep me and my blind love together... forever . The love that managed to become the mirage of light and life in the stranded desert which was me . And then like the fake dream it had always been , when I reached too close , hoped too much and fell deeper , the light and life both were replaced with darkness and fear that left me dead even while breathing. No... I could never forget E&V because it meant Evelyne and V.

" My men will be set to look for her . It'll be a moment before she's caught. Don't think about this too much and get back to work , son. " I couldn't help but scoff at my father's words . "How do I not think about it ?" I laughed as my own words sounded ridiculous to me. "She isn't scared of getting caught , she just wants to ruin everything now that she's out . First the office and now she even managed to find out where Y/n is staying. Can't you see it dad ? She wants me to feel the fear . Every fuvking moment. "

" And like a coward, you are letting her win again." My eyes travelled towards my father and his face held nothing but disappointment and disgust . "I am not ashamed of accepting that . Yes , I'm scared ! I'm fuvking afraid to think that she could hurt the people I care for to hurt me . But you wouldn't know how it feels right ? Because you are the only one you care for . You didn't feel it when you lost your wife either. You wouldn't feel it now ." I had spoken enough. My father was as rigid as a rock that wouldn't crack no matter how much you torment it . He was a strange man with nothing as an emotion .

Speaking with him was like speaking to a wall . I turned towards the door of the penthouse now , silently walking outside and leaving the place . I had to go and see Y/n . The thought of Evelyne knowing where she was staying alone was making my guts turn and skin crawl in fear.  Nobody could tell what her initial plan was. Nevertheless, I wouldn't let her get to my wife.
I was afraid but at the same time , in the depth of my bones , I could also feel the bubbling anger . For years , I had lived in my fears and slowly these fears had then started to morph into something violent the moment she tried to harm someone who meant to me more than myself.

Inside the car , every moment that passed was excruciating. I shouldn't have left to begin with and I couldn't imagine another moment without having Y/n under my vision. The single thought of Evelyne having her eyes on her was enough to leave a lingering shiver in me . That drove me to hit the accelerator and speed through the road . Every signal made my agitation grow as I looked to and fro between the road and traffic light. When I finally stopped in front of the small institute where Y/n taught , my heart thumped louder in my chest .

The children had left , it was already afternoon leaving the area strangely silent. I hastily took off my seat belt and opened the car door , stepping out in a frenzy manner . As soon as my feet touched the asphalt , I started walking towards the entrance of the building.

A man in his mid-fifties sat in front of the gate , dozing off while taking in the warmth of the sun. I hesitated a bit but tapped on his shoulder to wake him up . He did so in a haste , as if caught red handed while slacking off at work. “Yes ?” He questioned me , confused and dazed . "Is Miss Y/n still in there ?" As I questioned, his confusion only deepened, leaving me even impatient. I sighed a breath of disappointment and asked , “Where does her class take place ?" Watching my stances the man decided to not take the matter further and just answered, pointing at the second last classroom on the ground floor .
