TIME ─ JAEYONG

041⸰

"what are you talking about?" she tried to remain calm and act confused but jaehyun saw through her measly act. her eyes darted between the both of them while her chest rose and fell abnormally. "i don't work for your father. i barely even know you."

"bullshit! tell me what you're doing here and what my father is planning!" she rolled her eyes and let out an amused laugh.

"jaehyun, even if i tell you there's nothing you can do." she smirked darkly while crossing her arms. "your father will be waiting for you wherever you go." she stepped dangerously close to him; her minty breath fanning against his ear. "i'd spend the rest of the time with taeyong while you can." when she went to turn around jaehyun grabbed her wrist tightly, keeping her from advancing.

"please." he pleaded, his voice desperate. he felt cold and scared. he knew what his father was capable of. the people who crossed him and their family were never seen or heard from after he was done with them. jaehyun didn't want that for taeyong. "please tell me what he's planning. it's the least you can do."

she glanced down at her trapped wrist then taeyong; jaehyun immediately let go. "he's going to torture taeyong for lying and tainting you. they're going to ruin his life. and for you," she looked deeply into jaehyun's eyes, those chocolate brown eyes that were swimming in fear. "he's going to punish you just as bad. not kill, since you are his son but i think you get the idea."

"you can't do this! taeyong did nothing wrong. i was the one who gave him time and brought him into this life. he shouldn't be punished for something i did."

she shook her head. "you're preaching to a brick wall jaehyun. i could care less. same goes for your father." taeyong watched with wide eyes and haltered breath as jaehyun broke out into a sprint. he charged towards her like a linebacker would, his right shoulder landing a critical hit. her back arched painfully as they both landed with painful grunts, her phone skidding inches away from her.

he quickly recovered and placed himself on her waist, using all his weight to weigh her down. "i'm sorry." he muttered just before taking her head into his hands and banging it onto the floor, each time harder and rougher. she thrashed and kicked until she fell limp under him. jaehyun stood up, his hands shaking and tinted with crimson. "grab her phone."

taeyong's heart hammered against his chest painfully. he couldn't fathom what jaehyun had done. he didn't think jaehyun had it in him. time seemed to still as jaehyun lifted the women into his arms and whisked her down the hall towards their room. taeyong looked around for any witnesses but no one seemed to be around. he snatched up her disposable black phone and went walking down the hall after jaehyun to avoid raising suspicion.

once inside the enclosed room jaehyun placed her on the couch softly. taeyong remained by the door, trying to silence the warning sirens blaring inside his brain. he wanted to slap jaehyun for acting recklessly. his impulse was troublesome and because of it they found themselves in another horrible situation.

"well what now genius?" jaehyun shook his head. taeyong could see the panic rising within him. the younger male was about to have a panic attack. "hey, jaehyun breath okay?" his breathing became labored.

"i—i d—don't know... i was scared. forgive me."

"it's okay. listen to me." taeyong tenderly held jaehyun's face by his cheeks. he bore his piercing eyes deeply into jaehyun's. "breath. she'll be okay. i'll wrap her head, you go clean the blood off your hands and calm down okay?"

jae nodded and left to the bathroom. taeyong sighed while looking at the girl who was bleeding out onto the couch. he knew nothing about the proper ways to treat her so instead he simply wrapped a towel around her, in hopes of stopping or slowing the flow of her blood. as soon as the boat docked he would inform someone of her and how she fell down the stairs which caused the bleeding.
