The Psychopath and I || Yoonmin

8 days (Layers of Fear)

' You sure you don't need me to walk you home, Tae? '

' Nah, I'm okay. I'm wasn't the one crying like a baby last night, ' Taehyung snickered, effectively making me blush brightly. I punched his shoulder quite harshly and, as I intended, he winced in slight pain.

' Ouch! Geez, I swear you're too much of a devil, that heaven can't even give you credit for what right you've done, ' Taehyung said rather dramatically, with an arm raised and a hand covering both of his eyes.

' How am I supposed to recover from this horrible injury.. Someone call the ambulance! Oh, I can already see the light... ' He feigned, falling down onto his back.

A random stranger actually took notice of this korean-drama-queen's pleas and stopped by. ' Is he okay? '

I swear to God, one day I shall have my revenge on this piece of historical soap opera ass piece of gucci baloney shit.. Okay that was too much, or is it? ;)

' Oh he's okay, ' I put on the largest, most fake smile I can put on. Kim Taehyung I swear one day, I will make you pay for every single embarrassing thing you've ever done to me..

The stranger gave me a very unsure look, but went on his way, heading to wherever he was supposed to go. I let out a breath of relief and instantly held it back in when a certain not-so-light weight slouched against me. ' Minieee, why didn't you help me up. Am I not your dearly beloved Tae Nugget? '

' Oh? I didn't know you were Taehyung. I thought I just left dirt where it belongs. '

' JIMIN! Who taught you those words! As your father I am utterly disappointed in you. '

' Stop it Tae! Now look at the ti- ' My wristwatch beeped mid-sentence. Speak of the devil. ' Tae! It's time for work! '

' Okay, let's g- '

' Tae, you're still in yesterday's wrinkled tee, not to mention it's backwards. '

' -go to my apartment first '

I mentally facepalmed, but I can't help but grin at my best friend—no—brother's stupidity.

• At Tae's apartment•

I lazed around in the bedroom with the soft comforters hugging my body. The walls painted in lavender giving the room a quite calming feel. however, the apple green bedding is quite questionable in all honesty. the colour clashes so weirdly that it... fits well together? not to mention that weird heart faced plushie that was given by taemin at his last birthday sitting at the centre of his bed sorta completes the weird room.

i felt a not so subtle nudge on my waist along with my shirt being lightly tugged on. Reaching under the blanket i felt for a certain ball of fluff and gently pulled it from under the blanket. a pair of large innocent dark eyes stared into mine tongue lazily hanging out and ears perked. i laughed and rubbed my nose against its tummy.

Yeontan came as a shocking gift from taehyung's aunt. the little furball captured taehyungs heart the very first time he held the pomeranian. taehyung spent 3 whole weeks persuading the land lady to allow him to keep the dog and after the long (quite annoying) weeks of persuassion she finally gave in. taehyung suprisingly took good care of yeontan for a person who burns water and manages to kill a cactus. its quite an achievement.

i heard the rushing water come to a halt. the bathroom door clicked open and taehyung stepped out with a towel wrapped around his waist. he grinned sheepishly and grabbed his clothes before going back into the bathroom.

crash.

holding back a snicker i faked a concerned voice, ' are you okay'

' yeah probably broke a tailbone or two but im okay ' he sarcastically replied wincing a little

' well you should be. those patients arent going to understand themselves. '

groaning a fully clothed taehyung stepped out of the bathroom. i grabbed a brush and beckoned him to sit. i ran the brush through his newly dyed red hair. its a very bold colour and normally one would be worried by the overly flashy hair attracting weird looks but by now with all the chemicals he put in his hair im just concerned hell turn bald.

just as i finished with the first few tangles tae's phone began to vibrate along with my phone. i picked up mine and dismissed tae's call since both of them are fron the assylum.

i can hear heavy breathing and sobs from the other end of the phone. perplexed i put it on speaker so that taehyung could hear it as well.

a familiar chilling chuckle resonated in the room.

' 8 more days my dear . let this be your reminder. '

i can the hoarse begging of a man in the background that sounds like a person from the assylum i just cant pint point who.

' yoongi what do you want and how did you get taehyung's number. '

' im just here to set a reminder to how many days until our renunion my dear. and the number who knows maybe he might be next. now sit and listen to the wonderful melodies of death. '

suddenly it all went quiet and pained screams echoed in the room. the sound of flesh being torn apart and anguished cries followed after. my body went ridgid i closed my eyes and i wanted to cover my ears but just as i was about to

' tsk tsk covering your ears my dear? '

i hesitantly opened my eyes and let out a frightened yelp. two bloodshot eyes were staring straight into mine a manic smile formed on his lips. mint hair unrully with specks of red and in the background a man is seated on a chair barely alive. his limbs lay scattered and mangled on the ground clothes bloodied and face covered with a red sack. i felt taehyung shifting and shaking obviously disturbed by the image

yoongi let out a sinister guffaw (i forgot how to spell it leave me be )

' ive got eyes everywhere dear. theyre watching im watching you '

yoongi slowly walked back to the strapped up man. he lifted the knife and the screen turned off

tears ran down my cheeks. i was scared. i was scared for my friends, my family my coworkers. i was scared for myself.

suddenly taehyung's phone rang. hesitant he picked it up

' Nurse Taehyung? '

' Y-yes? '

' Patient Jeon Jungkook had ( has? halp ) been murdered. '
