The Bloody Lover

( Taehyung × female lead )

"You don't FUCKING know about him!!! He is related to the cult! He will eat you up alive, he is not innoce-"

The person's voice stopped suddenly. I raised my hand sharply, palm facing him like a stop sign. My eyes narrowed, and my jaw clenched tight.

"He is like a child!" I said in a firm tone. "He doesn't know anything about this new environment. Stop accusing."

I heard slow footsteps approaching. My heart was pounding so hard, it echoed in my ears. The door creaked open .

A pair of brown eyes stared right into mine.

"Y...you came? L..love?" came a husky, manly voice from inside the room.

My eyes slowly moved down to his hands. Blood was dripping from his fingers, trailing down like tiny red threads.

"What were you doing?" I asked, my voice low but sharp. a dead torn hen was lying on floor as if he tore the poor animal with his own nails.

He looked down at his stained nails, blinking slowly.

"I.....I c.. couldn't find nail cutter ," he whispered, his voice shaking like he didn't know what he did. He seemed innocent. Innocently daangerous. So innocent that it could kill me in seconds.

"Lover" - that's such a beautiful word, filled with warmth and deep meaning. But what if it takes a dark, bloody turn... twisted by the worst kind of obsession?

A lover who isn't afraid to kill the one he loves.
A lover who doesn't hesitate to hurt himself.
A lover possessed by something dark.

I looked into his eyes, and it wasn't just pain I saw-there was something else. Something wild. Something broken.

His lips curled into a crooked smile.

"Love isn't soft for me," he murmured. "It claws, it burns, it controls."

And for a moment, I couldn't tell-
Was he protecting me?
Or destroying me?
