Falling For Sin - Taehyung X Reader.

•The Background Check•

The stark smell of bleach was overwhelming. You scrunched your eyes at the bright light that was sipping through your closed eyelids. You felt powerless and heavy. You could not move your hand, your head or your body. You slowly started blinking, desperately trying to open your eyes and see what was around you. Where were you? As blinding light slowly subsided, you could take a look around your surroundings.

You winced and painfully scanned the room before coming to a conclusion that you were in the hospital. The room was pristine clean and gloomy. Typical hospital bed, IV and monitors beeping. The walls were a sickly green colour and the linens were a moulding grey. The place looked nothing like a room where a patient should be motivated to get better. If anything the murky room was making you feel even more nauseous.

You could not remember how you had gotten there but you knew for sure that you wanted to get out as soon as possible. Worryingly, your eyes got heavy and you felt yourself getting dazy.

Then all you could see was darkness. "W-where am I?", you painfully coughed out as everything had disappeared from in front of you.

"You belong with me!", Ruhan growled. You suddenly turned to the side to see him, a murderous grin plastered on his haunting face. You thought you had gotten away from it, but you hadn't and you wished it would all go away. Panic and dread began to fill your body and you couldn't help but scream, you wanted to get out of this place.

"Y/N! It's ok, I'm here!", a soothing voice yelled. You leaped from the bed, your brain still not functioning as you had completely no idea what was going on.

"Y/N, what are you doing?", he asked. "Everything is okay now. Your arm was dislocated and you've got a few scratches and bruises so you need to rest up, do you want to get back in the bed?".

"I can't just go back to bed!", you began. You wanted to know what happened, this wasn't something you could just sleep on and forget about. This was serious and you need to know the truth. "Where is Ruhan? What happened?".

"Calm down, Y/N. Ruhan is in police custody. I promise you, you're safe now", he reassured and that was all you needed. You felt calm and safe and that you could live freely again.

"Thank goodness", you sighed as relief filled your body. You felt a bit guilty as you knew that Jaesun must have gone through a lot these past couple of days and you couldn't help but feel bad. You engulfed him into a warm, loving hug. You felt so warm and nice in his arms as it had been a while since you saw him and you were so grateful that you had such a caring brother.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have just run off. You probably hate me right now", you tearily said as few drops fell down your face.

"Y/N, of course I don't hate you, I never could. This is not even your fault", he said.

"I-It isn't?".

"No. Choi Ruhan had a long record of issues with his mental health, and you were his obsession. Unless we found a way to stop him before, he was bound to get you one way or another. I can't believe that after all those background checks I did, I didn't even think twice about Kim Taehyungs next door neighbour", he explained.

An electric wave of sadness went through your body at the mention of Taehyungs name. It still hurt you, knowing that you would never see him again and whatever had happened between the two of you. You couldn't help but weakly cry as your heart was aching.

"Don't cry, please Y/N. You are safe and everything is ok now". He didn't truly know why you were crying, and you knew you couldn't tell him because of his opinion on how you felt for Taehyung.

"There are a few people who wanna see you", Jaesun said. "You ok for a quick visit?".

To be truthful, the only person you wanted to see right now was Taehyung but there was no way that he would be here.
