The blood in the dusk - A BTS fanfiction

23.

Minna's POV

Monday which means back to classes. I entered my class room with no expression and sat away from the usual seat.
Since we only had three classes, we got free early. I exited the campus and saw Anna and Jungkook standing next to each other.
I wondered where Bomin was.
"Where's Taehyung?", Jungkook asked.
I still haven't said anything about to yesterday to Anna or Jungkook.
My thoughts got interrupted when we heard a commotion behind us.
The three of us turned around and saw Chan and Taehyung in front of each other.
Chan is the biggest asshole around here.
"Yah!! Won't you apologise?", Chan teased Taehyung. But Taehyung divert his cold gaze in other direct and kept his mouth shut.
"Oi! I said apologise!", Chan yelled at him while giving him a hard push.
"What for?", Taehyung asked with a cold voice.
"What for?!! Look at my shirt!", Chan scoffed pointing at a little stain of coffee on his shirt.
"Am I holding the coffee?", Taehyung asked yet again, glancing at the coffee in Chan's hands.
"You were the one who bumped into me!!", Chan glared at him.
"You're getting my nerves! Stop being childish!", Taehyung sighed and was about to continue his way when Chan stopped him and pushed him back with much force making Taehyung stumble back.
I saw Taehyung crank his neck to side before punching Chan with full rage in his eyes.
Of course Chan didn't beck away. He fought back making it turn into a proper fight.
Jungkook ran off to the two. He and two of Chan's friends pulled the two apart from each other.
Taehyung pulled his hand away harshly from Jungkook and walked our way. His cold gaze met mine before walking past us.
Jungkook was taken aback by Taehyung's change in behaviour.
"Heol! Did he just?", Anna stopped mid way and sighed as Jungkook shrugged while approaching us.
The three of us turned our gaze towards Taehyung's back as he walked away.
But he stopped. I saw him pulling his phone out and putting it towards his ears.
And in the matter of seconds he ran away.

Taehyung's POV

I made my way out after Jungkook pulled me away.
I was still double minded. I didn't know what to believe or whom to trust.
I walked past Anna and Minna who kept looking at me the whole time. My eyes met Minna's for a brief minute.
My heart ached. I shouldn't have let her go away like that yesterday. I should have controlled my anger.
Sighing, as i walked away, my phone rang.
I took a look at the caller id. It was one of the aged maids who takes care of my mother.
It was unusual for her to call so I instantly picked it up.
"Y-your mother.... she needs help!!", I heard her panicky voice.
"Where?!", was all i asked.
"The- the garden!", She stuttered.
I said nothing more and raced back home.

Upon my arrival i saw My father cradling my mother's head on his lap with shaky hands as her forehead bled out.
With shaky legs I advanced towards them.
There were a few scratches on her arms and legs. O could see the bruises on her neck as if someone tried strangling her.
I gulped as the i heard the paramedics making their towards my mother and taking her into the ambulance.
My glance shifted to my step father's hands, they were covered in blood that belonged to my mother.
Even a thought about it made my blood boil.
"You feel relieved now?!! How could- ," i was cut off by one of the paramedics.
"Who's going with the patient?", he asked.
I threw a one disgusted look towards Jaehyun before making my way to the ambulance.
"I will... i'm her son", i told them, making my way inside only to hold and my mother's hand and pray for her well being.

Minna's POV

Jungkook, Anna and I shared a glance of confusion as we saw him running away at a phone call.
Jungkook sighed and massaged his temple.
"Let's head to the cafe before going home?",
Jungkook suggested, to which i kept quiet and Anna nodded.

*At the cafe*

We got our orders but my mind was still lingering towards Taehyung.
Something is not right. I could feel it.
"I wonder what going on with Taehyung", Jungkook spoke, pulling me out of my thoughts.
Anna looked at me, making me sigh before saying, "after watching the video, he told me that man was his brother. And somehow we got into a fight. He said he couldn't trust anyone at this point... not even us", I explained.
Anna had an unreadable expression. While Jungkook seemed to think about something.
"Something doesn't feel right... the way he ran away earlier after a phone call", Jungkook spoke out loud.
Confirming my thoughts.
Before I could say something Jungkook's phone rang.
He received the call and his face turned pale.
"How?!", He asked into the phone.
Alarming Me and Anna instantly.
He hung up the call and stood from his chair.
"Ahh waee??", I asked in suspense.
He gulped before answering, "Taehyung's mother has been attacked. She at Myeongwoo hospital"
His words left us in a huge shock.
The three of us immediately ran to Jungkook's car, driving off to the hospital.
My heart thumbed against my chest really hard at the mere thought of Taehyung loosing his mother.
A few minutes of driving, we reached the hospital.
We ran towards the reception asking about the Mrs Kim.
They told us she's still in under operation. We went towards the OT and saw Taehyung on his knees, facing the operation theatre.
His head hung low, his body shaking as we reached closer to him.
We ran to his front sitting right in front of him.
I noticed his clothes filled with blood. His hands covered in blood too, he even had a bit of blood smeared over his face mixed with his tears.
I gulped the site. My tears threatening to fall.
"Taehyung...", I called out soflty.
He slowly raised his head, looking direct at me.
Anna and Jungkook bent down to his sides with their hands on his shoulders.
"Nae e-eomma...", he trailed off as fresh tears left his eyes.
"G-gwenchanah!! Your mom's gonna be okay! She'll get through it!!", I consoled.
There was along moment of silence.
After an hour, the doctor came out making us all run towards him.
"How's her condition doctor?", Jungkook asked. We all sense how hard it was for Taehyung to even ask about it. He seemed curious yet scared.
The doctor sighed as he pulled his mask off, looking down.
"Tell me!! Tell me she's okay!! TELL ME!!", Taehyung shouted. Jungkook held him in place in order to calm him down.
"She's breathing... but she suffered internal bleeding Which might lead to brain death so she might go into the state of coma. Her condition is still critical for us to state that so she'll be kept under observation for 24 hours before declaring her actual state", He said and bowed before leaving.
We turned to look at Taehyung was totally torn.
I saw how his expressions darkened.
He stood up with full force, pushing us away while taking fast step towards the exit.
"Taehyung!! Yah Kim Taehyung!", I shouted behind him.
We ran behind him.
Jungkook managed to get a grip on him. He furiously resisted but Jungkook yelled at him, "Stop it! Get yourself together!! Do you think your mother would prefer to see you like this?!!"
His words made Taehyung stop but he continued breathing heavily. He closed his eyes for a few seconds before opening.
"I have to end him Jungkook-ah... I can't let it go this time!!", He growled.
"You will end him!! But not by turning yourself into a monster!", Jungkook barked.
"I'm already a monster!!! Look at me! I turned into a monster the day i got forced into harming others! The day i was forced to sleep around girls or he'd beat me and my mother till death!! I became a monster the day i dirtied my hands with someone else's blood!", Taehyung spat, making all freeze.
None of us expected this. We couldn't even imagine him going through such things
"Even so... you can't kill him right now! You have us now Taehyung! We promised to end this together and we will do this the right way! Just get yourself together for now. Your mother needs you", Jungkook exclaimed.
Tears ran down my face. Anna hugged me as she sniffled and held in her tears.
"Gwenchanah!! It's going to be okay", She whispered in my ears. It was hard for me to see him going through this.
No matter how good you fight or how tough you might appear to be. You always have a broken side, you do come crackling down at some point.
And that's where Taehyung lost it.
He hugged Jungkook and cried his tears out.
Anna and I walked near him and caressed his back.
We gave him a back hug, eager to stop his tears.
It was too hurtful to see him break down like this.
Even Jungkook's eyes got teary. But he held it in.
