brokenly beautiful 𐤀ᵏᵛ

chapter five

Taehyung groans as he wakes up. Or he thinks he's awake. He can't be sure.

Everything doesn't feel real. He feels almost lifeless, as if his soul has been sucked out of his body. But at the same time, he feels more lively than he has ever been. What is going on?

Where is he?

What's happening?

Who is he?

Taehyung's really confused now.

He opens his eyes and cocks an eyebrow. He's in a dark space, floating on a white cloud. Taehyung looks around. He sure as heck isn't in the bedroom anymore.

But where exactly is he? Is this even real?

Questions keep swirling in Taehyung's mind, when he suddenly heard a voice.

"Ah, I see you're here." A female voice said softly, making Taehyung flinch.

He turned around, coming face to face with a beautiful lady. She was in her 40s, but her face still looked young and ethereal. The only signs of her age was the streaks of grey in her brunette hair, which flowed till her waist. She had bright, blue eyes and a soft smile plastered on her pink lips.

"Who are you? What am i doing here?" Taehyung questioned, looking suspiciously towards the beautiful figure.

Taehyung saw sadness flash in the lady's eyes, confusing him even more.

"I see that you have forgotten me..." she whispered softly, but Taehyung heard every word.

"What do you mean forgotten? Who even are you?" Taehyung asked, looking up at the lady.

The lady smiled softly, before leaning down to face Taehyung.

"Oh, love. It's so good to see you. It's been so long..." she smiled, patting Taehyung on the head, eyes holding fondness for the male.

Taehyung stiffened before leaning in to the woman's touch. For some reason, the woman gave him a sense of warmth, something his previous family didn't bother giving him when he came of age.

"Who are you?"

The woman smiled, before sitting down beside Taehyung.

"You'll know soon, love. I bet your father hadn't talked much about me after i... That's a shame...he sure has changed since the first time I met him."she muttered sadly before smiling softly at Taehyung.

"I haven't seen you in so long, Taehyung. You've grown to be such a beautiful man." She said, suddenly noticing the scars on his hands.

"Oh, love. What did your father do to you?" She asked, looking up worriedly at Taehyung.

Taehyung looked away, not wanting to share his personal life with a stranger. But something about this lady made him trust her.

"He threw me out. Gave me a few beatings. What's new?" Taehyung muttered.

The woman's expression darkened, before she placed a hand over Taehyung's scars.

She muttered words under her breath as Taehyung watched, entranced as her hair turned blue and as his scars started to heal.

"H-how?" He asked, shocked.
