My Heart Belongs To One || Kim Taehyung

Chapter 4~

*A/N: Spring Break is finally here!! I just wish that everything goes smoothly and that there's no more people getting sick.*

•Quote of the day - "Sometimes there is no darker place than our thoughts, the moonless midnight of the mind."•

Taehyun's POV -

That damm spoiled brat had on way too much cologne and he dared to say he didn't come to the mind reader's place to get something more than just a thank you?

More importantly, how am I supposed to act or behave with her. She's just so fragile looking, which gives me the urge to protect her, but when I'm near her, I'm my usual cold self because I can't seem to be nice to her.

I don't know what to do and I only have my pack, and my father to ask, but I refuse to ask any of them about this.

I have to first understand all of this and then I'll decide what my next step is.

Taehyung's POV -

It has been days since I saved her from those guys chasing her and days since I last held her in my arms, which is how I confirmed that it was her with whom I've felt possessive about.

She is not who I thought she would turn out to be, but it doesn't mean I care less for her.

I'm happy that she, of all people, is my mate, but I don't know how to get close to her after all this time. I'll just try my hardest.

Seol Hee's POV -

I'm starting to have those familiar feeling that I have whenever this time of the year comes. The time of the year where I always have someone wonder why I always wear the same chokers or why I'm wear a scarf.

I just wish they would stop asking when they know I won't tell them the truth. It's Saturday today so I'm on my way to work wearing a nice casual outfit with my choker of course.

My not so loving grandparents hated me, but still gave me their fortune because they eventually changed at the very end.

This money is what I've been using to pay for college tuition, but nothing more since I vowed not to touch it unless it was necessary, so I work on the weekends to pay for my bills.

I walk there since it's 20 minutes away, change when I get there and do what they want me to do while smiling. My shift doesn't end until we close, which is at eleven.

By then, my feet are killing me. It's a good thing I don't have to wear heels with all that standing.

They only person I say bye to, is the guy who helped me since he's the chef. As I walked home, I began to hear the voices behind me talking about me and I knew they were following me.

I clutched my purse close to me and walked faster since I'm too tired to run. I stopped when I realized something. I wasn't being followed but herded.

There were eight in all, 4 behind me and 4 in front of me. I should really take some self-defense classes instead of always relying on my pepper spray.

With what I've learned so far, they've made it so that nobody pays attention to us.

        "So you're the mind reader he's interested in? He's never been interested in no one so you'll be very useful for what I have planned," said the guy who came in between the 4 guys in front of me.

        "I don't know who you're talking about, but I'm not a part of this so just let me leave," there's only one guy who knows I read minds, could it be him?

He cocked his head to the side and chuckled. "Oh, I think you know who I'm talking about, but the question is, why are you always wearing something around your neck?," I took a step back, but couldn't go any further because they got closer.

He grinned and took a step my way. "What I wear is none of your business so let me go already," something tells me that there's something weird about these guys like Taehyun.

Do they have some kind of disease that makes their eye color change to butterscotch gold?

         "You're right, it doesn't matter to me, but if it's something I can use in my favor, then I'll do whatever I want," and then he roughly pulls the scarf away from my neck, making me gasp and cover my neck immediately.

        "That was very unnecessary, there's nothing you can use by doing this," his fingers pass through my hair and held onto one point. I gripped my neck harder.

        "I'll be the judge of that," he yanks my head back by my hair, which instinctively made my hands go to my hair.

Well, I thought he wouldn't have it so easy. Seems I was wrong yet again. I moved as fast as I could so he wouldn't see it, which proved to be useless.

        "Thank the moon goddess for my incredible eye sight! So you have a scar? And a long one at that," I feel like I already know how this is going to go.

        "Alright, you saw it, now can I go?," he ignored me.

        "A girl with such an ugly scar dares to have an attitude? What does he see in someone as pitiful and disgusting as you? Your value as a woman just dropped lower and lower," all nine of them laughed at the same time and it brought me back to middle and high school.

The guy who took my scarf away, who's name is Taeyong, eyed me up and down with that all too familiar look. Disgust, like I'm an abomination or a freak.

I can't stand hearing their voices all around me, but I can't shut them out so I try running away.

It was futile.

         "And where do you think you're going? I'm not done with you yet, I want everybody to see this scar of yours, but first things first. I want to see his face when he finds you all beaten and bloody," so he slaps me real hard with the back of his hand, making me fall to the ground.

My cheek stings like hell, but I'm thankful that their voices got quieter and quieter until I heard nothing at all.

*A/N: I hope everyone is okay with the situation going on right now.*
