The Dark Inside Of Me ✓ tk

Please keep me alive

❌ Maybe I should explain something before beginning the chapter ❌

People have been asking: "how come Taehyung got beaten up badly from bullies but wasn't harmed when he fell from a building?"

This is a very normal thing to ask and I forgot to explain it so here it goes:

The Kiané chooses if he heals Taehyung or not. He's been with him for a long time and is aware his host is getting bullied. He doesn't do anything about those wounds cause he knows the bullies don't kill his host, rather just harm him. This is a good thing cause it will end up in Taehyung mentally suffering which feeds the Kiané.

!! But !! When Taehyung was pushed off that building by Jackson & friends, the Kiané probably thought something along the lines of "Fuck this kid is gonna die when he hits the ground imma better do some shit!!" So he protected Taehyung from the fall hence only the small bruises Taehyung had from falling.

I hope this cleared up some misunderstands :o) if you have anymore questions don't hesitate asking me!! Also sorry for the delay, it's been ages since I've updated this book 🦑

Taehyung's P.O.V

A pebble flies across the sidewalk and lands in a puddle. I sigh, realizing I can't kick it anymore and have just lost my only entertainment while walking. It kept me from overthinking because that's all what I've been doing recently. An image of Jungkook's worried face flashes in my mind and I groan, pressing my eyes shut for a moment and soaking myself in the darkness.

I know my heart's been acting up lately and it terrifies me to be honest. I don't know what's happening to me. My heart stops beating, I can't die & the horrid memories of it are getting more vivid by the day. I try suppressing the memories but it's like my own mind won't even listen to me anymore.

I'm scared. But who cares? Jungkook. But it's not like he could do anything to help me.

I realize I have ended up back in school meaning I had been walking in a circle the whole time. Sighing I also realize I missed many classes today so what was the point to going back inside at all?

"Taehyung!"

A voice I recognize all too well yells from the other side of the yard. Jungkook comes running up to me, his friends following behind.

"What?", I ask, acting disinterested but actually curious why he's looking frantic all of a sudden.

I sigh, placing my hand on his chest as he tries stepping closer, "Look, if this is about the stopping of my heart beat than I'll be honest, yes, I know about it. I feel it stopping but I have no explanation why it does so-"

"We know you know already", Jungkook pants, still trying to catch his breath, "We also know you killed Hansol and know that you know it".

My mouth goes dry, words stopping in my throat not knowing what to say next.

"What?", I croak out, eyes darting from him to his friends who all have determined expressions on their faces, "You believe the rumors?"

Jungkook sighs, hand lightly touching my shoulder and me flinching at the touch.

"'No, we believe the Bestiary", he explains, motioning to a blue haired boy to walk closer. He watches me with sympathetic eyes but his movements seem wary.

"Look I've been studying mystical creatures for a few years now and all your symptoms lead to one demon", the boy says, opening the book on a page with a dark creature on it, "We believe this demon has taken you as his host ever since you were in that car accident".

I snatch the book out of his grip and let my eyes rake over the page.

"A Kiané? You think this creature is inside of me?", I ask, not believing it but feeling something creeping up on me.

What if it's true though? What if you almost died in that accident and that thing took control?

Then I'd rather have I died together with my parents instead of all the pain I had to endure the years after.

"And what if I believed you? What would we do then?", I ask, looking back up again into the fearful eyes of the others, "And why are you all looking at me like I'm about to kill someone?"

"Because you could", Yoongi answers, "And no one could harm you back since the Kiané takes care of you".

I close my eyes in annoyance, "So we're back at being scared of me, is that it?"

A soft hand slides from my hair to my cheek and stays there. I immediately recognize who it is as a tail swipes across my leg.

"I'm not", Jungkook says in a gentle tone, "I'm scared for you. The Kiané will eventually kill you and we don't want that to happen of course".

"And that's why we're here", Jimin takes a step closer with balled fists, "We'll just have to figure out how".

I drop my shoulders in realization and stare back in the onyx eyes watching my every movement with worry, "You don't know how to help me?"

Jungkook bites his lip and shakes his head afterwards, "No, but Xiumin might know someone who does".

"Is that true?"

The blue haired boy seems frightened as my stare averts to him but nods, "Yeah, my aunt got me into mystical creatures and bought me my first bestiary. She might know more about it".

New hope surges through my veins and I take Jungkook's hand in mine, softly squeezing it.

"Alright, let's try to save me".
