2: The captivity

"I'll take that person's life with one bullet."
...

"Taehyung, stop!"

"Go away, Jeongguk!"

I was out of breath running after him. My steps had stopped and I had no sense, to take another step. I put my hands on my knees to rest. At the same time my eyes were watching Taehyung, who was running away.

I didn't know where we were. There was nothing to see around anyway, because it was dark everywhere.

I wanted to stop him, but the more I tried to run, the weaker I was getting. It was like my knees were bleeding and it was making me suffer, even though I had never been hit. I couldn't stop him, he was going so fast. I couldn't keep up when I was running. It was like the time was going faster for him. When I took a few steps from where I was, it was like my bones were breaking.

"Taehyung, it hurts so much, help me!" I shouted with my strength, as I writhed in pain.

It had stopped.

He turned around and looked at me. His eyes were bleeding. Instead of tears, there was blood in his eyes.

My blood was frozen.

He was a few steps closer. I was afraid to look into his eyes, but I looked at it and our gaze never left.

"So help me." he said in a whispering voice. "It hurts so much, too. I screamed a lot like you, but why didn't anyone hear it, Jeongguk?"

He approached me and sat down on his knees before me.

I was just watching him. Not a word came out of my mouth, because I was trying to figure out what he meant.

His hand slowly went behind his jacket. When he brought his hand forward, I was literally frozen with what I saw in his hand.

He was holding a gun in his hand. He had turned it upside down, in a way that I could hold. He had take my right hand, with his hands and made me hold the gun.

"But you can't heal my wounds, because even I don't know where it hurts anymore." he said and he was crying. His hands were cold as he held my shaking hand.

"Shoot me. Help me out. Numb the pain."

"Shoot me. Help me out. Numb the pain."

"Shoot me. Help me out. Numb the pain."

...

When I opened my eyes, I woke up with Taehyung's voice echoing in my head. I stopped for a while and frames of my dream came in front of my eyes.

Shoot me.

Help me out.

Numb the pain.

Remembering, what had happened in the evening, I stood up a little bit and looked around. I was alone. He wasn't there.

I got up quickly to look around, but stayed in my seat with my head spinning.
