Chapter 42 Last String.

❝Finish this stupid race❞ -- Bts: Paradise

"Guys you need to go, right now" I order holding their shoulders looking between the two of them in an urgent matter.

"No Jae Eun, stop pushing everyone out, let us help you" Jin begged with his eyes some veins popping out.

"Just go, I don't need your help, I can handle everything on my own perfectly fine" My voice becomes more stable my hands slowly sliding off their shoulders eyes going back to the ice-cold look.

"Jae Eun don't you understand your only saying this to convince yourself and it is clearly not working, I am not having this anymore that is very selfish of you, we care about you and nothing in this whole entire world will ever change that and you will have to accept that. We look forward to seeing you every day but all you do is give us the cold eyes. How do you think that makes us feel come on Jae Eun, we are helping you whether you like it or not." He spoke very fast that it was hard to catch him every word, his face was very red and veins popping out that you could see them from a mile away. Namjoon stood beside him rubbing his back to calm him down.

"Jin, this isn't the time to discuss this matter"I break the intense eye contact and look down at the floor heart thumping sadly. My heart aches in pain as his words cut deeper into me.

If you cared for me why did you leave? Why? If you cared for me, you wouldn't have hurt me.

"JAE EUN," A loud howl pierces the corridor. I snap my head the side my heart banging loudly in fear, my legs suddenly trembling in fear. My eyes land on the breathless boys running toward me,taehyung missing, their faces bright red, hair messy and clothes creased.

"Jae Eun, Jae Eun." They pant tiredly."Taehyung, he-" It was enough for my legs to carry me to the other side of the corridor, my heart torturing me with pain. A big knot forms in my stomach my mind thinking of every bad thing that could have happened.

He could have stabbed taehyung. OMG what if he stabbed taehyung-ah in the stomach and he's bleeding heavily on the floor. Why did I leave him alone with Mark? I'm so freaking stupid. Why? Stupid girl. Omg what if he is repeatedly stabbing taehyung to the point where he dies instantly, what if-

Oh, shut it, women, focus.

I reach where I last left taehyung and my eyes widened in complete and utter shock. Mark was in his weakest state by far, he sat there on the floor tears streaming down his face hair sticking up in every single direction, he clutched his shirt tightly biting his red lips.

Well snap.

"What in the-" I whispered.

"He just needed someone to pull the last string I guess." Taehyung nudged my shoulder eyes never leaving the broken figure before us.

The last string huh.

"Mark" I whisper softly slowly nearing to him. My steps where timid afraid that he might suddenly jump up and be like 'ha sike bitch die' but he didn't, he continued sitting there rocking himself crying heavily. "Are you- no that's stupid to ask, What?How?" I stood there dumbfounded by everything going on.

My enemy whom I thought is the most heartless person is here crying his eyes out, Jin gave me a full speech about how much they care, my dad is sober, my heart still beats for him. Everything is just so confusing, I just wanna finish this stupid race.

"I'm...I'm....ssssssssooorrrryyy" he wailed like a baby his whole face scrunching up, my jaw falls down to the ground and my heart feels like it has stopped operating.

"We found this in his pocket and yeah"taehyung pulled out a strip of medicine from his pocket. "The only thing that can keep him sane"

"Omg," I clasp my hand over my mouth. "Mark" I repeat again.

"IIII'mmm sssooorryyy" he cried again.

"Stop crying" I choke out with great difficulty. "It won't do any good" I sigh crouching down, one meter between us.

"I m-made them l-leave y-you, I t-threatened them.I-I-I...." he trailed of sobbing heavily.

"You killed my brother." I point out my voice flat, I look at his face he bites his lip again his face showing grief.

"I don't know what I was doing, I can't remember" he grabs his head and pulls his hair bringing his knees up.

"You nearly killed me," I say blankly. He doesn't respond and continues pulling his hair,taehyung crouches next to me and wraps his arm around me loosely, I stare blankly at the floor resting my head on my knees."My dad became an addict. My mom died. everyone left." I pause for a moment and look up. "I..I don't think I can forgive you that easily"

"My parents used to lock me in t-the basement w-when I was thirteen for my b-behaviour, I-I ended u-up finding there cigs and alcohol s-so I w-would d-do something b-bad to go back i-in a-and..." he looked up with a puffy face wiping his snot with his sleeve. "I ended up..."

My legs give up on me so I fall into Taehyungs arms, I feel his whole body stiffen then relax as he wraps his other arm around me.

"Huh" I sigh.

Life is truly unforgiving. Truly.
