Chapter 20-Liar

This can't be happening.

This is the thought that races through my mind as I see the door handle turning. I look frantically around the gun and equipment filled room, searching for a way out.

I watch in despair as Taehyung steps into the room, with a face that I can't quite read. I feel hot tears streaming down my cheeks as I see him turn his head towards me.

"You read the letter, didn't you? Jisoo-" Taehyung begins to say.

"Stay away from me you fucker." I reply, backing away. But I'm soon against the wall, the little space in the room not covered in racks of firearms. My mind races with emotions and thoughts I can't sort out.

"I'm sorry. I never wanted you to find out. To protect you, keep you safe." Taehyung attempts to pull me into an embrace, touch me, sooth me, anything, but I slap his hand away.

"Never touch me again." I hiss, my emotions taking over. Am I disappointed or angry? Angry that I allowed myself to get so attached, or disappointed that I allowed myself to get so attached. Angry that he lied to me, or disappointed that he's apologizing for what he does in this world. I think about all the innocent civilians that died from his doing. They had so much to live for.

Taehyung stops and withdraws his hand. He looks at me, looking for mercy or the girl he once knew. I did the same. What happened to the boy I fell in love with? The boy that was humble, sincere, kind, caring, fun? Was it all an act? Will he kill me too.

I have to run.

Away from him.

I make a dash for the door I came from. I push past Taehyung on my way there. I'm almost at the door when Taehyung's hand latches onto my left shoulder. I stop. I hear Taehyung's shaking breath as he tries to form words.

"He might kill you. I didn't want you to know. I just wanted to protect you. Please, I'm sorry. Forgive me. I'm so sorry." I can hear him getting choked up as he speaks to me.

I don't have the heart to stay.

I wrestle out of Taehyung's grip and face towards him.

And I slap him.

Right on his left cheek.

He doesn't resist, even when the first tear leaves his eyes. He's silent. Maybe he thinks he deserves it; had it coming. His eyes never leave my face.

"I trusted you, and you lied to me." I say, trembling. I take my hand away from him.
Edit because y'all are still not over this: guys please consider her position and situation. You think she would really be thinking about her JOB at this moment; if that makes any sense?? So please refrain from saying "BITCH YOU LIED TOO". Ok, back to the story.

And then I was gone.

••••••••

I won't deny the fact that as I raced to pull on my shoes and coat (leaving all but my purse and necessities), I could hear Taehyung screaming. I could hear him pulling down the racks of guns, crashing to the concrete floor. I wipe away tears in the midst of it all. Everything is a blur.

I even hear a couple gun shots from that miserable basement. More shouting. And then it all stops. From my distance at least.

I run out of the house.

Where am I going?

Home.

Dear Reader,
That's the end of the chapter! Oh my, this is incredibly short and by far the shortest chapter yet. I would make this longer but I knew all of you were being left in such suspense since last week. Had I made this chapter longer, you would have to wait until tomorrow! On a side note, I will try to make my updates earlier for your convenience. For now, leave your thoughts below. All votes and comments are appreciated! Thank you again for all the support.
Edit: many of you are taking about Seoyeon saying Taehyung lied to her. "She lied to him too!!" Yes she did. But remember that's her job, and she also has all this new information to take in. We can infer that her mind is blurred and her only thoughts are the trust and love she gave to Taehyung, just to have it destroyed.
