Picture Perfect

Ch.5 | Pish Posh Pervert

With an extended creak, Taehyung slowly opened the door. He looked across the room, tracing the perimeter with his eyes. Once the coast was clear, he motioned Y/N to follow him. Carefully closing the door behind them, his eyes focused on the bathroom.

After an exchanged gaze and nod, he picked the broomstick off the ground, securing it in his hands, looking like he was about to charge his way through the door.

His eyes focused, gripping the stick of the broom with all his might, Taehyung was ready to protect Y/N from the disgusting man that dared enter his best friend's home. Although Y/N knew this was far beyond the logical way to go about this, her mind was far too scattered to take control of the situation herself. So she stood behind Taehyung and watched as he recklessly pointed her broomstick towards the door.

"Hey, pervert! I know you're in there!" Taehyung shouted suddenly, sounding tough and intimidating. Y/N jumped slightly, not used to hearing him with this tone. "You better explain yourself quick or else I'll come beat it out of you."

"Oh, thank heavens! The voice of a man!" The unfamiliar voice in the bathroom sounded far too happy to hear Taehyung's threats. He must've ignored him completely. The best friends exchanged confused glances for a moment before shaking their faces back to their defensive state.

"Yes the voice of a man that will beat some sense into you if you don't c--"

"Good sir, I know I've worried you, but I really need your help."

"...You what?" Taehyung got more and more confused as the intruder spoke. How was he not intimidated by his threats? Who did this guy think he was?

"I... Goodness, this is embarrassing." He mumbled shyly before being able to continue his thoughts "I can't seem to find my clothes anywhere in this room I've been held captive in. I tried turning this doorknob but somehow it just started raining. And it was hot!! Good sir, have you ever experienced HOT RAIN? Because it is highly unpleasant!"

"What the hell is he talking about?" Taehyung leaned to the side to mutter in Y/N's ear. Wrinkling his brows, he was caught off guard by a sound coming from his best friend. Turning his whole body around to face her, he stared in disbelief. "...Are you laughing?!"

"I-I can't help it-" She clasped her mouth shut with her hand, squeezing her eyes shut trying to force herself to calm.

Taehyung grunted, annoyed that Y/N was getting enjoyment out of this.

"I understand how you feel, I know the situation is sudden and strange. I'm quite worried as well. I don't know how I got here. I suspect I was brought here by some sort of dark magic..."

"No, you came in here YOURSELF because you're a CREEP standing NAKED in a young woman's apartment." Taehyung spat.

"No no no, you've got all wrong, good sir-"

"STOP CALLING ME THAT!!!"

"Ugh," He sighed. "Listen, I need you to calm down for a moment. You wanted me to explain myself right?"

"...Keep talking."

"Thank you. All I remember was laying down for bed after taking a long walk in the gardens. I had a strange dream and then the next thing I know I wake up completely nude in this strange place. Please, just bring me some clothes and let me out of here. I promise you, I have no ill intentions here. I know it looks indecent, but I swear to you I'm just as confused as you are. I'm asking you for help and not the young lady for a reason, despite how difficult you are making this. I have duties to attend to. I can't just dilly dally with this demented magical rain room all day. Let me go and I will never return."
