The Truth About Nightmares [ KTH ff ] (BTS )

Chapter 18

Both Yoongi and this situation seemed off. Why would he claim to not know Taehyung when his expression says the exact opposite of his words...

Maybe I'm just reading too much into the situation...

But..

Could Yoongi have some relation to Taehyung?...

It was likely judging from his reaction...why else would his whole demeanor change at the very mention of his name. Something must have happened between the two of them. Taehyung didn't specifically say he was exactly like me so maybe the people he encounters remembers him. Now that I think about it, he never really answered my question...

I will definitely have to ask him about this when I see him.

Speaking of which...

Where is he anyway?...

Usually he would pop out of nowhere and startle me but he was nowhere in sight. It's like he completely vanished. I didn't know whether to be grateful for this fact or paranoid.

But one thing was clear.

This could be the only chance I get to snoop around without him tailing me. His presence brought me slight comfort since he knows what I'm going through, but on the other hand my gut still screamed for me to stay away from him.

And I am one for trusting my gut...

Yoongi's little scene from earlier didn't help my thoughts about Taehyung. I still couldn't decipher why Yoongi would pretend not to know him. No matter how many scenarios ran through my head, I was always unable to come up with any sort of solid and plausible explanation. As far as I'm concerned, I knew far too little about Taehyung and knew absolutely nothing about Yoongi. Both of them raised red flags in my head as far as being trustworthy was concerned.
One of them has to be lying. The question more specifically is who...

Taehyung

Or

Him

To be fair, I trusted neither of them so if they were both lying, it wouldn't come as a surprise to me. I wasn't exactly known for my faith in other people and this place only lowered it tremendously. I would be lying if I said Taehyung's face didn't feel familiar...

But wouldn't I be able to recognise him if I saw him before?...

Yes

I would be able to remember him.
My memory has never failed me with regards to people's faces. I forget words but never faces, which made me question everything told to me by Taehyung. With a face like his,  I doubt anyone could forget it.

But why do I feel like I've seen him before

The more I see him, the more the feeling of familiarity grows. Maybe if I were to spend more time around him I might remember. As stupid as it seems, I couldn't stop the idea from entering my mind. The more I think about it, the more complex the situation became.

I knew for a fact that I couldn't trust Taehyung. His unpredictable nature prevented me from knowing what he was thinking. Yet when I recalled the previous encounters with him present, not once has he actually tried to kill me. He even ended up saving me for a brief moment at the amusement park.

It doesn't mean I trust him though...

I looked up at Yoongi who hasn't spoken a word to me after I asked about Taehyung. His sudden silence was beginning to bother me. It was possible that I had set him off in some way. I felt as if he was going to bite my head off the minute I asked him another question.
