HOUSEKEEPER - JAEHYUN x READER

total darkness

I closed my eyes. I was now used to the darkness. I was not so afraid anymore.

I was getting used to the silence, but I was also used to the sound of cries. I was used to sitting alone in my room and crying, trying to be as quiet as I could so no one else would notice. I had been longing for the shadows, where everything was hidden in the dark.

I knew when I closed my eyes now, that would be the last time.

The last time I needed to breathe.

The last time I felt all of the pain my body went through.

The last time I ran.

I had been running my whole life.

From my parents, from my memories, from my feelings, from my confidence.

It was now the last time I need to run from him.

I had finally gotten to the finish line.

I could slow down now, catch my breath.

I heard him pull the trigger.

Click, it said.

The one last thing I would hear before I died. Before the total darkness.

BANG

(TRIGGER WARNING: There is a lot of described violence from here, please read at your own risk.)

A loud noise was made, but it wasn't the gun.

It came from upstairs.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck"

I now opened my eyes, and I could see a stressed Juwon running up the stairs. I looked around me all confused. Some dust that had been laying steady on the walls and the floor of the basement was now dancing through the air, and I could feel a small twitch coming from the ground of the house. As if the whole property moved just for one second.

The sound of men screaming filled my ears, it was a terrible sound. I knew something was happening from upstairs, something Juwon didn't seem to like. Gunshots were fired, one by one. I was unsure if I could scream or not, I had no clue about who these people were. It could be another psychopath who would keep me alive for his or her own entertainment.

I figured that I was on the edge of dying anyways. My feet were slowly getting more and more numb, and I could not move them no matter how hard I tried. My sweat was layered on top of my forehead, dripping painfully into every scar on my face. My clothes were getting more and more drained with my blood, and I became very dizzy.

The whole room was spinning, and the sounds of gunshots from earlier became weaker and weaker. I managed to scream out one time, but only once. It took too much strength to scream at the top of my lungs. It was already so hard to breathe.

Juwon ran up the stairs, leaving me alone.

My eyelids suddenly got really heavy. They were on the verge of closing.

"She is here!"

My eyes wanted to open, but they were too heavy. Exhausted was an understatement of how I was feeling, but I tried to recognize the voice.

I could hear distant sounds of footsteps down the stairs, they were fast and determined.

"Y/N, do you hear me?"

It was Jaehyun.

It was the milky sound of his voice who gave it away. The beautiful milky voice.
