Chapter Twenty-Three: Day 5

Jimin's Pov

Taehyung stopped talking.

He hasn't said a word and it scares me. I would much rather have him yell at me then to say nothing at all. 

This silence was driving me insane.

Ms. Hyuna begged him to talk but all he did was stare emotionlessly at anyone who passed by him. I could tell though, he was still angry at me. Every time I would look into his eyes I felt like I was drowning in a sea of sorrow.

Hoseok still hasn't returned.

I lost hope in him. Everyone else had.

Jin finally returned to his room, with the help of some servants who decided to stay. He was bruised all over and had cuts on his arms. Yoongi was a cruel vampire, but he didn't care so long as he held power over the entire brothel.

I sometimes wondered if Master Kim will ever come back.

"Taehyung sweet heart, please say something. Are you hungry? Do you want something to drink?" Ms. Hyuna offered. She had been attempting to crack something out of Taehyung, but he was too stubborn. All he did was stare at her and shook his head.

At least he was aware of everything and anyone.

"Ms. Hyuna, try again later. Maybe he won't talk to you because I'm around." I said, walking over to her.

Taehyung gave me a glare, and what sounded like a growl. At this point, I got over the fact that he hated me. I no longer hide in the bathroom and I sleep in the same room, only because he was tied up to the bed.

"Are you sure Jimin? Please don't bring yourself down. You do know it's the venom within him that's making him act this way." She assured.

"I'm aware of that" I said, sitting next to Taehyung. He cringed a bit in his spot, his dark brown eyes burned holes in me.

Ms. Hyuna simply nodded and left the room. I was just Taehyung and I again.

"Taehyung, I know you're in their somewhere. I know this venom inside you is making you act this way. I forgive you for trying to kill me and I forgive you for saying such horrible words. But the truth is Taehyung, I want you to hate me." I shuddered to my own words, but I needed to let this go.

I wanted him to hate me, because it was my fault he was like this.

Taehyung's eyes tensed up with anger and his hands shook by his sides. Tears slid down his cheeks as I knew he heard me, and I knew he wanted to scream at me again.

"I can't...do this any...more..." he uttered. "I...hate...you.."

I smiled to myself and got off his bed. That's all I needed to hear him say. As long as he hated me, I felt closer to him.

 I walked over to the door, looked back over to Taehyung and nodded.

"I love you too Taehyung."
