"I love you to the point that I'd love to torture you."

The words that seemed too easy for him to say as if a person wouldn't feel as much with that kind of reply. I admit, I'm scared. Scared to know what days will come before me and the moments that will happen within that period.

"Of all things you could come up." My voice stuttered along the walls. Taehyung had a look that was filled with enigmatic energy. I cannot say.

"I mean, you already know by now that I'mㅡ"

"I know."

Taehyung shrugged with a little smile as he turns to face away, "I'm gonna sleep early. I still have business to do, tomorrow."

I sighed, I need to trust that he won't hurt me. Why, you ask? Because, it's all I have at this point. Unless, something gives opportunity then I'd be glad to disappear from thin air. I think.

"What kind of business?" I asked him, I'm sure I wouldn't have slept well now, no wonder I'd collapse.

"Oh, killing requests. It's what we do. Now, go back to sleep. I'm not letting myself get asked too much or else my head will ache." Taehyung demanded as silence has eared through.

I laid against my back, facing the ceiling. My eyes still felt quite awake yet whenever I needed to say it was enough, I could have slept..  but today, I couldn't. I started to wonder where I was, how my Mother would feel with me being away, how my job will go through.

"Fuck." I cursed to myself as I left the bedroom. Time-check, around 1AM. I couldn't handle it. For awhile, it was kind to find such hospitality like this but I never really wanted my life to revolve into this.

I opened the main door slowly, hoping it wouldn't create too much sound as it squeaked. "Oy." My whole body jumped, Jungkook was there.

"Where you going?" Jungkook asked, his hands on his hips as his right brow raised in suspicion. "I'm going to take a walk." I cleared my throat, hoping I wasn't too obvious.

"We all know walks don't leave too quiet, no?" Jungkook had a smirk. My hands that curled into fists, relaxed out of motion. 'What's the point to hide?' I told myself. I'm not sure why I had to come up with this idea but for a non witty human like me, it's all I can do.

"I'm leaving. I can't stay.. I have a family and.. I need to tend to them." I reasoned to Jungkook. "We all know we have families to tend. But are you sure you want to leave us? You know.. we're just gonna come back running after you again."

"Of all people, why me? God!" I was about to yell when I knew I had to keep the volume, or else leaving would be inevitable.

"Because we know how smart you are. How witty you can get and how much you love your parents." Jungkook mentioning my parents were out of the line. "You do not bring up my parents in this." A stress in sound, growling at Jungkook.

"With all due respect, I can bring up your parents if I want to. I'm not the killing type but.. if you walk out that door, I swear you will be gunpointed at sight. You are in the midst of a battle that you barely even knew existed." Jungkook threatening me wasn't enough. I bit my lower lip.

"As much threats have been given to me this day, I'm more terrified to know that I'll be living my life this way." I admit.. I was scared, too scared in fact.

"But shouldn't you expect this to happen. I mean, you chose me." Taehyung's voice appearing out of nowhere. My heart had beated fast again, it felt like it was about to explode.

"Chose? I simply did because it was for future purposes! If I knew this would happen, I would've.." My tongue got tied after. Taehyung descending down the stairs and approaching me and Jungkook.

"Oh, you should've been aware. If you were to wuss out now than the first time bringing you here, what wAS THE FUCKING POINT!" Taehyung screaming loudly and vigorously. Tears streaming down my face as I could feel fear rushing up my veins.

"Taehyung.. easy, you'll wake the others." Jungkool nudged at him, patting him softly at the back.

"I can't believe you'd think you'd be safe around us. Around me. Boldly choosing me. You know the last person who worked around me? Faked suicide." Taehyung enumerating the others that he had schemed on.

"Shut up." My head looked down on the ground as I see salty water trickle down. "Ignore Taehyung, he's trying to scare you away. He knows what he's bringing you in and he's scared of that." Jungkook yells as Taehyung instantly glares at him.

"You all say that.." I was shaking. I was damn throbbing. I'm confused on who I'd trust. How I'd trust.

"I'm just tired." A smile I lastly gave them as I ran out of the mansion, jumping off and away from the gates as tall grasses cover my whole body. I could hear Jungkook calling out for me yet I had ignored it.

The tall grasses that pricked down on my body seemed too long to get by through. But at once, I had finally reached light into the roadway. A vast place around the roadway, small lights coming forward.

I waved my hands over to the car that was supposedly driving towards me. "Gunpoints, my ass." I scoffed as a little sigh of relief I had felt when the car flashed their headlights on me, even honking.

But something was strange.. it wasn't stopping. The smile I had of relief faded. The car growing closer and closer until the light that I thought that could've saved me, the headlights that I thought would show the way to leave.But something was strange.. it wasn't stopping.

..was showing me the opposite.
