Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the hallways seemed like they would never end. would you ever escape him? your legs hurt from how fast you were running.
you could hear him. his footsteps growing louder and louder as he moved in closer.
you looked around. searching for somewhere to hide. anywhere. your eyes scanned the place.
a dressing room. it was far but it was reachable if you ran. so you did it. huffing, your heart racing. you opened the door, it was dark. at any other time you'd be scared of how dark the room was.
but now.
now, you had to hide.
you carefully shut the door. hands moving about to find any switch. a light switched on and you were surprised to see how clean it actually was.
you turned your back to the door. looking down at your feet, only to see a shadow on the floor.
"there you are, kitty"
your heart jumped with a start. how did he get in so fast?
minho shut the door behind him, arms reaching over to shove you firmly against the wall. there was no way you could get away.
"l-let me go" you screamed, trying to move out of his iron grasp. he pushed your head against the wall. your cheek squished and you struggled to even move.
these were the times you realised just how strong he actually was. and if he wanted to he could do anything he liked.
"no s-stop stop i-it" you said, as you felt him lift your skirt up. it was your favourite skirt. not to thick yet not too short.
"shut it. stop fussing" he hissed out, tugging your panties down. his fingers inching down. you wriggled around.
"a-ahh h-hurts it hurts" you cried out as he shoved his fingers deep into you.
so deep you felt a tinge of discomfort. you weren't wet enough to take three of his digits.
you whined, unable to even speak.
"you know you want it. relax kitten."
he mumbled into your ear, pulling his fingers out. you shivered at the loss.
"be a good kitty and get on your fours"
you shook your head. never.
"n-no i don't w-want it"
he let out an exasperated sigh behind you. a noise of surprise leaving you when he manhandled you. forcing you to the ground.
he maneuvered you. keeping your head pressed on the white floor. your back arched and ass up. skirt pushed up to expose you completely. embarassment was what you felt.
minho used his knees to keep your legs apart. you couldn't help it.
your cunt throbbing for something more. something bigger. something wet.
whereas your mind was all over the place. everything was happening so fast you didn't know if you were ready.
no prep. but this is what you and him had discussed much ahead of time.
consensual non consent. he could fuck you whenever he felt like it. regardless of whether you wanted it. and that made you feel some type of way.
his personal playtoy. your body belonging to him. him having complete control over you. the control part is what you loved.
"you say you don't want me but look at you" he let out, you could hear him take his belt of with one hand. his zipper being pulled down.
"arching your back for me, your leaking so much kitten. anyone would think you're a bitch in heat, presenting yourself to me"
you felt your eyes water. desperation.
"i-..i-" you stuttered, his grip on your hair so strong, you couldn't even lift your head up. your face smushed down.
"when are you going to accept it..shut up and take it"
your mouth dropped open. a pained whine escaping you as he entered you.
fuck, he was so big. you'd never get used to his size. and now with no lube, your thighs trembled at the discomfort. a heavy weight.
"ah-h m-minho hurts..p-paining" you cried out, body shaking at how stretched out you were. you were at your max.
"oh does it?" he asked, voice going low and condescending.
"still hurts?" your eyes rolling to the back of your head as he moved his hips. burying himself even deeper. this time not stopping his movements.
"accept it, kitten. you want me to fuck you full. to breed you" minho said, voice cracking as you still tried to adjust to him.
you squirmed as he held your hips, pulling you back to meet his thrusts. choked out noises and whimpers leaving your parted lips.
"d-don't want your c-cum hnghh-"
your eyes shot open as he pulled out completely. you stayed extremely still. not knowing what was going to happen next. he mumbled an annoyed 'fine'.
"crawl." he said out lazily.
"come on im giving you a chance to walk away"
could you really believe him? you hesitated for a entire minute. unsure. until you rose to your elbows and slowly inched ahead.
your speed slowly increasing. that was till you were dragged back. his cock slipping back into your warm cunt with no effort.
"you really thought huh"
"your pussy is begging to be filled. your dripping onto the floor. so quit lying."
tears fell on the ground. everything felt so good. so real. so different.
"i'll make sure to pump you full of my cum until you can't take anymore. you take what im giving you"
his hips ramming into you. getting pushed forward with every animalistic thrust.
"n-no pull o-out...pull out p-please minho not in me" you cried out, shaking in his grasp. you wanted it. you wanted his cum.
"you cunt says otherwise. swallowing me fucking whole like its been starved"
he held you in place.
one particular hard thrust and you could feel him inside you. filling you up to the brim. your own cum mixing with his and leaking outside of your poor abused hole.
"ahhhh keep it all inside"
minho instructed, watching as you clenched. trying your best to keep all of him in. but you couldn't. sitting on his haunches watching how your pussy quivered at just how much had seeped out.
warm.
sticky.
your knees gave in and you fell completely on the floor. your breathing heavy.
minho shuffled around behind you. everything was beginning to set in. but minho was there. you knew he was going to take care of you.
"did so well for me, sweetheart"

ugh this girl shes so cute like… im actually so down BAD its not even funny
Hi my loves🫶🏼 this was supposed to be longer n come quicker but i forgot to save my draft n i was so fucking done UGHHHH.. I just wanted to put something out for you guys as a thank you for all the support my last post got❤️❤️❤️ I never thought id be postin on here but 😛
anyway, tall! bodyguard! fem reader x wonyoung has been taking over my mind lately yall dont even understand 😭🙏 (this isnt proofread cuz im so done, so sorry my loves if theres something wrong😔)
lets say ur a bit older than Yujin (like by a couple months) n ur first official job as a bodyguard is to make sure Ive makes it to a pop up event safely😝 Starship hired so many of u guys because sasaengs have been appearing more frequently than before. So here comes you and like nearly 3 dozen more guards though you stand out due to how tall u r😍😍😍(like taller than 6’4 cuz babygirl wony is already tall asf😔🙏) n your build (muscular women r so fine UGHHHH)
You and the rest of the squad were walking to the girls big ass dressing room, though you felt many eyes on you. Its something you’re used to, always being the tallest in the room (cant relate😭) Arriving at the dressing room door gets you a bit nervous since you know how big ive is as a group and how stunning they are😍😍😍 Once you guys were given the green light to enter, you need to lean down to fit through the door. seeing this, one of your colleagues snickers, making you roll your eyes.
Ive’s manager introduces you and the rest of your crew to the members, short n sweet. As their manager was just giving a brief run down abt whats gonna happen once you guys arrive, Wonyoung notices you. You were much taller than her and stronger too from what she can see😍 baby girl would be so shocked since most girls shes met have never been taller than her🥺 She was so focused on you that she didnt notice how one of her members eyes were also glued to you😛
ur bitch ass was zoning the fuck out but still kinda listening to the manager but you noticed how drop dead gorgeous the members were (same) though you were always drawn to the tallest member. Her beauty had you practically fawning over her that you didnt even notice the rest of the squad (ayeee pull up wit da gang😝😝😝😝 im so sorry) left to go to the vans you all arrived in😭 Flustered at this, you jog to the door to catch up, hitting your head on the doorframe in the process 🥺🥺🥺 You hear giggles after, but failing to notice how Wonyoung’s eyes were full with concern. Whimpering at the slight sting, you hold your head while still trying to catch up with the rest.🥺🥺🥺
Wonyoung watches as you disappear into the distance, pouting as she hears her members talk about how cute you were🙏 she starts paying attention after hearing yujin ask if they was a chance you were single😭 “Maybe, but not after im done talking with her..” Gaeul says proudly, though its short lived as Wonyoung hears Rei respond “Unnie, she’d have to go her her knees to kiss yo-“YAH!” The room fills with laughter as the eldest sulks in her spot, mumbling how unfair life is. Wonyoung’s mind goes back to you, not wanting to hear her members talk about how they want to get to know you more😜
timeskip to the event cuz im SICK AND TIRED OF THIS APP.
You and the other bodyguards line up behind each side of the rope safety barriers (is that what its called…) You were near entrance of the building and could already seen waves of people try to get a glimpse of the idols that were soon to arrive
As the van pulls up you can hear the crowd getting louder by the second. They only get louder as the girls start to come out, first with Yujin, then Gaeul, Rei, Wonyoung, Liz, and lastly Leeseo. Camera flashes and screams fill the air as the girls walk to the entrance of the building. They do their best to get there in a short amount of time while also interacting with fans
It was going smoothly, with the three eldest already at the door, waiting for the other members. Wonyoung was just a couple steps away from them before a man grips her wrist and pulls her closer to him. She tries to fight back but he is much stronger, tightening his already harsh grip. You act quickly, making the man let go and shoving him as hard as you can. He has a pissed off look on his face but it soon turns to fear as he sees you towering over him. The man nearly shits his pants after you bend your knees to be at eye level with him, hearing you call him the harshest words that come to mind.
After that, you let another bodyguard deal with the man as you turn your body to face the shaking girl. (babygirl was a bit scared cuz u seemed so pissed🥺🥺🥺) Your eyes soften at her state, shes frozen in her spot with widen eyes. Wonyoung focuses on you as you lean down to quietly talk to her. Her eyes are pretty is the first thing that comes to Wonyoung’s mind. She gazes upon your features for what feels like years, her admiration soon turning into attraction for you as she holds her now red wrist. You notice this, cursing the man in your head as you take a closer look at her wrist. holy fuck that shit is red, you meet her eyes once more, taking note on how hers seem to shine in the sunlight. “Are you feeling alright, Miss Jang?” you say in a sweet, soft tone. Wonyoung feels her heart start to race at how soft you are with her, a big contrast to how you acted to the man (duh)
“Oh-Yes! I’m okay, just a bit shaken up..” Wonyoung didnt respond right away since your warm aura made her start to relax. You nod, “Do you want me to escort you to the door?” She starts to nod, but is interrupted by her members rushing to her side asking her if shes okay. You step back, giving them their time but also waiting for her answer. After Wonyoung reassures them that shes fine she turn to you, nodding to your question from before. You failed to notice how her cheeks flushed a light pink as you walked behind her to the door🥺🥺🥺
time skip cuz its literally 1:30 am rn….
You didnt just walk her to the door but instead everywhere. You would only leave her side if she needed to take photos or use the restroom (though you were right outside the door just in case) You were following her around like a velcro puppy (clingy dog) 🥺🥺 Wonyoung thought you were so cuteee😭 she thought you were like a newfoundland puppy cuz ur so big UGH🥺 She watched as your eyes practically sparkled whenever you say something you liked or if someone brought up a topic you were interested in❤️❤️❤️ Babygirl was falling for you so hard rn
As the event was coming to an end, she wanted to go to the restroom before they left (it was an excuse to get you alone with her🫶🏼) She stopped right in front of the ladies door, making you confused. Wonyoung turns to you, leans toward you while slipping a piece of paper in your hand. She ran away shortly after to go to the rest of her members. It all happened so fast you were slow to comprehend what just happened. Reliving the moment for a few seconds you realizing she had kissed you on the cheek.
You place your empty hand over the cheek, now adored with a lipstick mark, as you smile like a dumbass😭 you hear your name being called to leave as well but before going over there, you read the note.
“Yn, I just wanted to thank you for making me feel safe and for getting to know me. I hope we meet again, as friends or maybe more?
XXX-XXX-XXXX
-Wonyoung <3”
You nearly fainted reading that last part.
OH MY GOD THIS TOOK SO LONG💀
guys if u ever write on this app MAKE SURE YOU SAVE PLEASE…. (my asks r open if u want this to be continued or if u wanna request something❤️)
kk love you guys🫶🏼 be safe, and have a good day❤️

please refresh your memory of the content warnings that's mentioned on the summary page. this chapter will include s*xual activites.
Tumblr media
Toji
 My wife cheated on me. Not a lot of shit can hurt me, but that did. I know I haven’t been the best husband, though, I never expected it to get to the point where she would go fuck someone else. I can’t be surprised that other men are interested in her because look at her— she’s fucking gorgeous. 
 Nice big tits. 
 Curvy body.
 An ass that requires me to hold with both of my hands. 
 Beautiful brown skin that glowed so brightly it makes the sun jealous. 
 Aside from her looks, Y/N has a heart of gold. 
 I was rough around the edges when we first met ten years ago. Still am, but with her? I’m soft. Vulnerable. There’s a side of me that’s reserved for her and her only. She doesn’t pity me for my fucked up past, and she doesn’t try to understand me because although her past isn’t all peaches and cream, she hasn’t experienced what I have. However, she made me feel… reassured. Heard. Emotions that feel foreign to me. Imagine a shitty motherfucker like me who kills people for a living would fall in love and get a girl like Y/N. 
 Luck was on my side the day she agreed on being mine forever, but now? I’m not feeling so lucky. 
 I feel angry. Betrayed. Frustrated. Annoyed. Every negative thing you can think of—all while I’m fucking her. 
 I’ve been pounding into her tight, wet pussy for the past two hours. Time after time making her cum and scream my name until I feel like the fucker that touched her is out her system. 
 I’ve declined Y/N  several orgasms, but still gave her five, going onto six. My right hand finds comfort around her neck while my left is busy rubbing her clit with my thumb. She’s spread out so pretty on the bed for me, tears of pleasure staining her gold shining cheeks. I keep fucking her with no intention of letting up and let’s just say seeing her tits bouncing with my thrusts is the reason why. 
 Well, at least one of the reasons.
 Fuck, I can’t believe I’ve been without her pussy for this long. Ten months to be exact, and despite Y/N sharing what’s mine, her pussy still molds around me. I’m the only motherfucker that can fuck her like a whore, but cherish her like she’s the only woman in the world—because she is… for me. 
 Now when I look at her, I think of that bitch that had the pleasure of knowing what she feels like.
 Suddenly, I’m pissed again. 
 My strokes are hungrier, more passion and anger filled. The harder I fuck her, the louder Y/N and her pussy gets. She’s so fucking wet there’s a puddle forming underneath of all her releases. I love how messy she gets, seeing her cream coat my cock. Y/N is squeezing me so damn hard and she sounds so sweet. 
 “Look at you. A pathetic slut while whimpering on my cock,” I say, mockingly. “Is this how you sound when you let that motherfucker touch you?”
 “T-Toji… Toji, please -”
 “That wasn’t a rhetorical fucking question, Y/N,” I bit out. “Answer me.”
 Her pussy clenches, moaning softly. “No, fuck… ”
 “Open your mouth.” Gosh, I’m so fucking tempted to praise Y/N. I fell in love with her because she’s stubborn, but she always listen to me without hesitation, opening her mouth like a good girl. 
 I formed saliva in my mouth to allow a long and slow string of spit drip into hers, and the minute Y/N swallows, she cums for the sixth time tonight. 
 I chuckle, menacingly. “My spit turns you on that much? You like getting fucked in this tight pussy like a whore? Because that’s what you are.”
  This pussy is so goddamn wet and warm. Tight as shit, too. Fuck, she’s taking me so well. 
 “Oh, God! Fuck, Toji, fuck. It’s too much, baby,” she cries. 
 I apply more pressure to her throat. “Shut up.” I push past every single one of my thrusts and drive deeper in her pussy, rubbing her clit harder than before. “Give me one more.”
 Y/N drew her brows together and opened her mouth to protest, looking so damn pretty. “I… I don’t think I can.”
 “Yes, you fucking can,” I growl. This is the closest praise she’ll get from me tonight. “Greedy fucking pussy still holding onto my cock. I know she wants some more of my cum. Don’t you think, sweets?” I didn’t give Y/N a chance to answer before I released her throat to hold her thick waist tightly. 
 I pull her down on my cock fast and hard, balls slapping her pussy to make the most pornographic sound. She hesitates about putting her hand near my pelvic to relieve the pressure, but I know she wants to prove to me that she can take me. 
  That’s my girl. 
 I continue to fuck her aggressively at a frantic pace, deeper, brutally until my release rushes to the tip of my cock and shoots inside her. This load may be the heaviest, and of course, she cums and squirts on me… again. Fuck, I love it. I pound into her until my dick pops out of Y/N’s pussy due to her wetness. 
 As I come down from my own high, I watch Y/N shake uncontrollably, panting and whimpering like a bitch in heat. She’s so fucking sexy. She cheated on me. Not once, but twice. I shouldn’t be feeling this way about her. Like I’m trying to prove I’m worthy enough to be her husband…
 Vulnerability and insecurity pings my chest. 
 I hate fucking feeling this way. I shouldn’t be running Y/N a warm bath to bring her to, changing the sheets, and going back to the bathroom to wash her. She cheated on me , so she should be catering to me . I know I neglected her. I haven’t told her I love and appreciate her in months. First time fucking her in months. Don’t remember the last time we went on a date. I know I have been a shitty husband, but still…
Tumblr media
 The next morning came, but sleep wouldn’t come to me. So I sat up most of the night watching Y/N sleep. I felt like a fucking creep, however, I couldn’t help myself. She’s just so… perfect. And I’m the first motherfucker to say nothing or no one is perfect in this fucked up life… it just doesn’t apply to her. 
 Eventually, Y/N woke up and we’ve been in this comfortable, yet painful silence. Just us staring at each other and having a conversation with our eyes. I look at her and sometimes I still find it hard to believe that she fucking cheated on me. 
 “Why’d you do it?” I didn’t mind the quiet, but my mind would’ve exploded with how loud it’s being right now. 
 Her deep ochre complexion bathed underneath the sunlight that flashes in our room. She looks surreal, like a goddess. Paid millions for a penthouse to have the pleasure of looking at her first thing in the morning. Not like I have been taken advantage of it anyway. 
 She softly sighs. “Explaining to you why I did it will sound like a justification when it’s not.”
 “Just tell me.”
 “I… I thought you didn’t love me anymore,” she says, quietly. 
 “What?” Y/N’s response surprises the hell out of me, but I can tell this conversation is just as heavy as it is for me because tears start streaking down her cheeks. 
 “You haven’t touched me in almost a year, Toji. Every time I tried, you always rejected me. I felt so embarrassed. You don’t even look at me anymore.”
 “I do.”
 She shakes her head. “Not like how you used to. Not like right now, even if you’re mad at me.”
 Hearing her reason hurts me, but I allow her to continue because she looks like she’s just getting started.
 “I wanted attention. I want to feel desired, alive. Appreciated… loved—”
 “You love that motherfucker?” I growled. 
 “No, Toji. Fuck,” she lets out an exasperated breath, sitting up and allowing the sheets to fall from her chest. I can’t pretend I’m not getting hard while seeing her tits swollen and nipples pebbled, but now isn’t the time. “I feel so pathetic explaining to you. Do you really think I love, let alone look at anyone the way I do with you?”
  No.
 “I know you don’t.”
 “I just want to feel like that girl next door again when I was twenty-five and being reckless with a random guy I spent my whole entire night with. Free. Alive… happy. I just want to be happy with you.”
 Even if it’s not what I wanted to hear, this conversation was needed. I will never forget that Y/N cheated on me, but I can somewhat understand. She’s a stay-at-home wife. I told her I didn’t want her to work. We have no kids. It’s been this way for a decade. Y/N gets bored and lonely. Now that she mentions it, I have rejected or ignored her advances when she tries to have sex.
 Our marriage isn’t perfect. I’m fucked up. She fucked up, but she’s my sanity… I’m not willing to throw that away. 
 I deeply sigh. “I hear you, and I’m sorry that I make you feel like I don’t love you. I do. I fucking love you so much. I would give up my life for you. No hesitation. You know that, right?”
 “I know, baby.” Baby… fuck, I miss the way that sounds.  
 “I’ll work on being a better husband, but let me just say this.” My voice darkens, grabbing her chin to force her to look into my eyes. “No more of that motherfucker. You. Are. Mine. No one else's. You. That pussy. All of you belong to me. Don’t fucking share what’s mine again. I make myself clear?”
 All the tears and pain Y/N had before were replaced. Her beautiful big brown doe eyes deepened with hunger and lust. I know she’s turned on. Her nipples are practically screaming at me and she’s squeezing her thighs underneath the sheets. After all that fucking I gave her last night, she’s craving for more. I guess in a way I do have a lot of months to make up for. 
 “What’s on your mind, pretty girl?”
 “I want you fuck me.”
 I chuckle, closing the distance between our lips. “Is that how you ask?”
 “Toji, please come fuck me. I need you, baby.” Begging so fucking sweetly. 
 “Fuck, Y/N.” I crash my lips onto hers and fuck her endlessly like she asked. 
Tumblr media
Reader
 Eventually I had to get ready for tonight’s event after being worshiped for hours by Toji. He fucked me with anger last night, but this morning… he made love to me. Our conversation about my cheating and his lack of effort in our marriage led to endless orgasms that put me to sleep until two hours ago. 
 Now we were hand held walking into a mansion the size of a country. 
 The Zen’in Estate. 
 Every year Toji’s cousin, Naoya, throws a huge party where rich people would come together to be snotty and talk about their wealth. 
 Toji and I live a pretty luxury lifestyle, but this party is definitely not our forte. Nonetheless, we come to show our support because that’s the last piece of family Toji has left and their relationship is good. 
 Unorthodox, but good. 
 Speaking of the devil…
 “Cousin Toji. Y/N. It’s nice to see the beautiful couple make it.” Bleached blonde hair. Piercings, standing at six feet tall—Naoya Zen’in. The resemblance between Toji and his cousin never ceases to amaze me. Whatever is in that Zen’in blood runs deep. Hard to believe they’re just cousins. 
 “Y/N, it’s been awhile and I see you’ve only gotten more beautiful since we last saw each other,” he says, giving me a hug and kiss on the cheek. Naoya pulls away, but keeps his hands at an appropriate spot on my back. “Stunning you are. Maybe it’s not too late for you to leave that jackass and come be with me.” Heat crawls in the center of my face at his compliment. I see Naoya is still Naoya. 
 Arrogant, cocky, flirtatious, and bold. Also, handsome. Very handsome, at that. The navy blue suit he’s wearing, where I could tell it’s a custom from how it’s tailored to his body compliments him well. But of course, he knows I’m not interested. 
 Before I opened my mouth to protest, Toji let out a low warning growl and put a possessive hand around my waist to pull me back to his side. “Tread lightly, Zen’in.”
 “Everything okay, Cousin Toji? You seem tense,” he asks, mockingly. 
 “Where’s your wife? I’m sure she wouldn’t appreciate how you’re talking to my wife .” 
 Naoya smirks. “I can guarantee you Teresa doesn’t mind. And to answer your question, she excused herself to the ladies room. Should be back any min—ah, there she is!”
 I turn around and smile when I see Teresa walking toward us. Her natural coils are blown straight and cascading down her back. Beautiful brown skin that was a shade deeper than mine. 
 Teresa had curves of a model. Soft and dipped in the right places that filled her backless navy colored gown perfectly. She was beyond gorgeous. How was Naoya able to charm her into a marriage? Not sure. But here we are anyway. 
 I leave Toji's side to give Teresa a tight hug. “Ah, I miss you, T. It’s been too long. You look so beautiful.”
 “I missed you, too, Y/N. And me? Look at you, gorgeous! Tits out, high slit?” she says cheerfully. “I’m surprised Toji hasn’t pulled you to a room yet.”
 Toji chuckles, placing a kiss on Teresa’s cheek. “That’s what I’m planning on doing later. High slit. Better access.” I feel my cheeks warming up and wetness pooling my panties from his words because I know he’s serious. “It’s good to see you, Teresa. See you haven’t left Naoya yet.”
 “Nope. Not yet. Well, I probably can’t,” Teresa teases while placing a hand on her stomach. She moves to Naoya’s side to which he gives her a sensual kiss. “I’m pregnant.”
 “Really? Congratulations. That’s amazing. I finally have a reason to spend more money,” I elated, earning an eye roll from Toji. It’s his money I’m using, as if he cares because his spending habits are just as bad as mine. “How far along are you?”
 “Nine weeks. We just found out two days ago.” The conversation continues with Teresa and I catching up and discussing baby plans while our husbands bicker, as usual. 
 Eating, mingling, and a few glasses of champagne for me, hours later, Toji and I fell into a comfortable silence while swaying to the sound of music. His hand found comfort on the small of my back, causing heat and chills to radiate my body while my cheek rested on his chest to listen to his heartbreaks. Despite the hiccups in our marriage and my infidelity, Toji’s presence has always been comforting for me. I just feel so safe in his arms like if I am, no one will do me any harm. 
 Though, if looks could kill, half of the men in this room would be dead from Toji’s daggered look. 
 I knew how possessive and overprotective Toji was the moment I became his. Any type of male interaction I have, he gets jealous. No exceptions. Not even his cousin, but of course he’s an exception to not feeling Toji’s fist down his throat because he knows he does it to annoy him. 
 And it works every time. I giggle just thinking about it.
 “Something’s funny?” Toji’s deep and raspy voice breaks me from my thoughts.
 “No,” –I looked up at him–“just the alcohol.”
 “Ready to go home?”
 “No. Already trying to snatch me away?” I tease.
 “Maybe. All these motherfuckers keep staring at you, and I know their thoughts aren’t PG.”
 I shrug. “Cons of having a hot wife, no?”
 He smiles. “You look beautiful, Y/N. I don’t know if I told you that already.” He has. Over a dozen times, but who’s counting? I’m definitely not complaining. 
 I did feel gorgeous tonight. My emerald colored asymmetrical dress with a hint of sparkle matched perfectly with Toji’s eye color. Modest, but sexy with a high slit and strapless to show off the fullness of my tits. Light makeup and claw clip hairstyle that had my tendrils framing my face. 
 “Thank you, Mr. Zen’in. You cleaned up well yourself,” I say, rubbing his bottom lip with my thumb. “You look handsome, baby.” Toji’s favorite color is black. Ninety-nine percent of his wardrobe is black, but it’s just something about this black velvet suit hugging his frame that’s heating my core to flames. Not to mention him gelling his hair back. Fuck, I don’t know if it’s the alcohol thinking, which I know it isn’t, but I just want him to myself right now. 
 “What’s on your mind, Mrs. Zen’in?” The same question from this morning that had me struggling to get out of bed.
 “You know what’s on my mind.”
 He smirks, lowering his head to ghost over my ears. “You want me to fuck that tight pussy again? Last night and this morning wasn’t enough for you?” 
 “Toji,” I softly moan. “Just a quick one.”
 He kisses my neck. “Why should I?”
 “Because your horny wife needs you to make her cum.”
 “Shit,” he groans. “When you say it like that, you make it hard for me to resist.” Toji begins palming my ass, no worries about us being in the middle of the party. 
 So I return the favor, subtly massaging his clothed erection. I already knew how uncomfortably hard he was straining against his pants. I don’t know why he’s playing hard to get. 
 “Y/N.”
 “Come fuck me, Toji.” 
 “Fuck.” Toji lets out a low groan before grabbing my hand to guide me away from the party to find a room. 
 I have a smile on my face, truly convinced that I have an addiction to his touch because the pain and pleasure Toji gives me is all that I crave. 
Tumblr media
Suguru
 I’ve been here a fucking hour and I have yet to see Y/N. I’m questioning if Satoru lied just to bring me out to get over her, as he would say. I don’t need to get over Y/N. I just need to fucking see her. To taste her, smell her. Hold her and fuck that tight wet pussy of hers. 
 I tried to get Y/N out of my mind by fucking other people, but it didn’t work. Not even a little. No one takes my cock the way she does. 
 I miss her voice, sweet whimpering sounds while I’m pounding into that warm pussy. I miss how messy she got around me. I can’t fucking stand to be without her. I love her so much it hurts. I still can’t believe she ignored me forty-five times.
 I’m honestly trying to remember if I ever pissed her off while we were still in contact. Aside from my asshole like tendencies that seems to charm her, I can’t think of anything. 
 I’m not interested in anyone else. All the women that have approached and continue to can just save their energy. None of them compare to—
 “Y/N.”
 “Huh?”
 Satoru taps my chest. “Y/N. She’s over there. Looks like she is here with her husband.” 
 I look over in the direction Satoru is pointing and fuck . She looks so fucking sexy. So goddamn beautiful. I’m not even in her proximity and my cock is aching in my pants. She’s wearing a dress that’s baring her thick thighs and has the cushion of her tits out on display that bounces every step she takes. Is it possible to become even more breathtaking over the course of two weeks? 
 In Y/N’s case— yes .
 But my arousal and joy only lasts so long until I realize that she’s being whisked away by her husband. My jaws ticked just seeing that. I expected Y/N to be here with that piece of shit to obtain an image, but she looks… happy. The smile on her smile shows excitement, like they’re about to go… no . 
  You gotta be fucking shitting me . 
 I think no further before my legs start moving and head toward their direction. I hear Satoru calling me, asking me where I’m going, but I don’t have time to tell him. He should know.
 By the time I made it to where I last saw Y/N, she had already disappeared from the party and I suspect into the dark hallway where partygoers probably won’t go. 
 There’s so many rooms in this fucking house. I don’t even know where to start. Calling her name out loud wouldn’t be ideal because I don’t want to scare her or sound creepy, but dammit I’m tempted. 
 As I get deeper in the hall, I hear soft moans and gasps coming from the double door room at the end. I know those sweet sounds from anywhere. 
  Y/N.
 But I’m not the reason why. 
 I lighten my steps as I approach the door and press my ear against it to hear better. 
 “Toji, oh, fuck!” Y/N cries. “Right there, baby. Right fucking there.”
  What the fuck?
 I hear everything. The honeyed whimpers. The harsh thrusts. Her pussy taking cock and gushing around it. Y/N pleading for a release, to go harder and deeper like she asked me. All of it reminded me of our first two times together. Gosh, I fucking miss her. 
 I should be mad. Actually, I am. Pissed, but I can’t act like her getting fucked isn’t turning me on. My cock pressing against my pants wouldn’t allow me to lie. I just wish it was me fucking her wet pussy instead of him.  
 If she needed cock, why didn’t she just reply to my calls and messages? I would’ve shown up without hesitation to please her. To relish that succulent pussy I know would taste like paradise—
 The sound of the door jumping startled me, but… they sound closer. 
 “… yours. This pussy is yours, Toji.”
  The fuck it is!
 I’m holding back my willpower to not bust through the doors and fucking kill her husband, but this is the closest thing I can get to Y/N right now. 
 I shouldn’t be doing this, palming my cock and drinking in all of her moans and drenched pussy I hear being pounded. Maybe, just maybe if I tune out her husband’s praises, I could focus on getting off to Y/N. 
 I look around before unbuckling my slacks to free my cock from its restraint. I shouldn’t be surprised that a bead of my precum is already leaking. Spitting on my hand to mix with precum, I used to lubricate my cock to start fisting myself. 
  “Hm, yes. I love your cock, Toji.”
  She loves my cock. 
 “Keep fucking me. Harder…Harder, please .”
 I grip my cock tighter and pick up the speed of my movements. 
  I’ll fuck you as hard as you want.
 “Do you feel lucky to have me, Toji? Tell me how much you love my pussy.”
  Fuck, you know I feel lucky, Y/N. I like that fat wet pussy so much. I love you, Y/N. 
 Heat spreads throughout my body from the excitement me and my cock are feeling. How does she sound so fucking sweet while taking cock? How can pussy be that good? I’m trying to prevent myself from cumming quickly, not wanting to cum until she does, but she’s making it hard. Me , hard. 
 I pump faster. I just wish it was Y/N doing this for me. I wish it was Y/N full and pretty lips stretch around my cock and taking my thrusts like a good girl. She takes me well in her pussy, I just know she would suck me off like a pro. 
 Thinking about it has me throbbing, aching for a touch. A visual of how she looks right now. Panting. Tears pricking. Tits bouncing obnoxiously. Her wetness, cream everywhere. At this point, I’m practically ripping the flesh off my cock.
 I keep my grunts and harsh breaths low enough so only I can hear. I’m so close to coming. I just want Y/N and I to cum together. 
 “Toji! Fuck! God, I’m about to come again.” A sharp cry comes Y/N. I can hear her husband chuckling and to keep it down before someone hears her, but she doesn’t care. 
 I loll my head against the door to steady myself, massaging my balls and stroking myself to Y/N’s climax. I can get caught. I’m in the middle of the hallway jacking myself off to Y/N being fucked like a creep. But I don’t give a fuck. When it comes to Y/N, I’m unhinged. Feral. I think without reason. 
 “Yes.”
  Yes .
 I circle my hand around my cock with eagerness. 
 “Yes.”
 I release my heavy cum filled balls to twist my length with both hands, showing extra love to my tip. 
 “Right there.”
 I’m here, Y/N.
I thrust my hips into my palms while fisting myself.
 “Keep giving it to me, Toji.”
  I’ll give you everything, anything you want, pretty girl. Just cum for me, okay?
 After that… my mind goes blank. My core stills as my release spills out, coating my hand and the door. I tug my bottom lip into my mouth to prevent my moans from slipping. The last time I orgasmed like this was when I fucked Y/N. I needed this. I needed to cum so badly. Of course, it’s not the same because I’m not the one who just fucked her, but this will do for now until I talk to her.
 I didn’t have time to come down from my high before I heard Y/N and her husband fixing themselves to come out. I tuck my cock back in my pants, clean my release off the door, and find a bathroom further down the hall to clean myself up.
 I didn’t expect to jack off to Y/N getting fucked by that jackass. It just happened. I couldn’t miss the opportunity because hearing her come sounds better than having sex with other women. 
 “Fuck, get it together, Suguru,” i mutter go myself. I just can’t help myself when it comes to the woman I love. 
 I leave the bathroom and think to myself how am I going to get Y/N away from her husband so we can talk—alone. Going up to her while she’s next to him wouldn’t be smart because I’m sure the fucker would know it’s me the minute he sees how I look at her. 
 Maybe I should try texting her? 
  No .
 I’ve already texted her twenty-five times. If I make it twenty-six, she’ll think I’m weird and creepy. 
 I don’t want her to have that impression of me. 
 The last thing I want is to involve Satoru in my love life, but I can probably have him–
 Y/N. 
 She’s less than ten feet away from me and alone. Perfect .
 “Y/N!” I call loud enough for her ears only. She turns around, big brown eyes zero in on me, shocked that she sees me, like I’m a ghost. 
 “Suguru? Wh-” I take three long strides to close the space between us before she questions why I’m here or protests. 
 Talking to her in the middle of the hallway wouldn’t be ideal, so I grab her wrist and pull her into the closest room to us, not caring about her objections and attempt to break my hold. I lock the door and pull her into my chest, inhaling her creamy vanilla and warm berries scent I love so much.
 “Y/N, I miss you.”

FNAF MOVIE SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT DONT READ IF YOU HAVENT SEEN IT YET I MEAN IT!!!!!!!
my thoughts on the movie UwU
ok first of i LOVED what they did with mike's character???? its different from the games canon (or different from the most popular theories??? i can never remember what is actually canon and whats accepted fanon) but its sooooo interesting. making him the brother of one of the victims was SO unexpected but it worked really really well. tho going into the movie with preconceived notions ab the story fucked me up somewhat bc i took so long to accept he wasnt michael afton 😣 tho i feel the movie mightve been setting fans up that way lol
on that note his brother confused me somewhat? cuz he was one of the missing children but he wasnt one of the 5 spirits was he??? maybe he was and i just didnt notice KSBSKDBSKD ill look out for it on my second watch
WILLIAM. MOTHER FUCKING AFTON. OH MY GODDDDDDD THAT WAS FUCKING INSANE and honestly seeing everyones reaction to it was SO cool. when springtrap appeared everyone screamed and clapped. when he started dying everyone screamed and clapped even louder. and when he said "I ALWAYS COME BACK" everyone LOST THEIR FUCKING MIND SCREAMING CRYING YELLING CLAPPING WHOOPING IT WAS SO FUCKING GOOD
AND THE VANESSA REVEAL????? i think thats completely different from game vanessa lore mostly bc william aftons daughter in the game was elizabeth/baby and shes fucking dead but idk vanessa lore so who knows. all i know is that it WORKED MAN i did NOT see that coming but i HONESTLY REALLY LIKED IT AND AGAIN EVERYONE IN THE THEATER LOST THEIR MINDS WE WERE ALL LIKE "WHAT?????" (edit: i saw an youtuber point out that this cant be the same vanessa from sb bc this is set in like the 90s and sb's in the future. maybe this is something like, they put two vanessas so we know that sometimes different characters just have the same name and dont get too hang up on mike smith vs michael afton lol)
i also like how they did williams character. i usually dont like purely evil 2d villains but i feel that fits afton way more than "sad scientist goes insane cuz he lost his kid oh no :(". like it just fits fnaf!!!!!!!
another thing that was completely different from the game was the animatronics. like in the game theyre "like animals" but in the movie they all seemed very, aware??? msking decisions? they def had a mind and it was cheesy sure but i also liked it. i just loved this movie. and everything about it. i went into it knowing it was absolutely not going to be 1:1 with the game so i dont mind im just so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT IMMEDIATELY STARTING WITH A JOKE ON DREAM THEORY LMFAOOOOOOOO. "SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE IT"
MATPAT? MOTHERFUCKING MATPAT ARE YOU KIDDING ME
THE EASTER EGGS!!! THE REFERENCES!!!!!! THERE WERE SO MANY AND THEY MADE ME WANT TO SCREAM AND CRY EVERY TIME OH MY GOD
im not gonna remember all of them but I WANT THE MIDNIGHT MOTORIST HOODIE
max did NOT deserve to die that upset me. she was fine!!!!!!!
also the violence wasnt anything super crazy but it was def more than i expected. also they swore
THE ANIMATRONICS ARE SO FUCKING COOL DUDE OH MY GOD I CANT BELIEVE THEYRE REAL
also golden freddy wasnt a girl in the movie. F cassidy
i like mikes character sooooo much ive said so before and im saying it again. vanessa too
THE SONG THE FUCKING SONG THE LIVING TOMBSTONE PLAYING IN THE FUCKINF CREDITS OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD I CANT BELIEVE IT OH MY GOD DUDE DUDE DUDE DUDE DUDE
this one is only for the brazilians in here but i actually liked the dub? this sentiment might change after i watch the og version but it wasnt terrible. williams voice was 10/10
balloon boy was funny every single time. fuck this bitch. also the cupcake
THE ITS MEEEEEEEEEEE i wish they did more its mes BUT I SAW THAT!!!
the scene were mike calls abby to the kitchen so they could 'talk' and the aunt was there.... actually broke my heart how dare you
i missed phone guy 😭
OH IM PRETTY SURE I SAW THE FAKE DOG ANIMATRONIC PEOPLE THOUGHT EXISTED YEARS AGO???? I DONT REMEMBER HIS NAME BUT I THINK HE WAS THERE IN THE LIKE STORAGE PLACE i might be crazy tho dont quote me
i thought i wouldnt like it but i love how expressive freddy is its so funny. chica bonnie n foxy too but him especially
ok i those were all my immediate thoughts!!! i wrote this a few hours ago when id JUST gotten back from the theater and now im gonna go watch it again so bye <3

Ive never done a crazy bitch so please go easy on me guys! 😭
Christian! *Hearing the words come from his mouth of him having sex with another woman turned her cockiness turned straight to anger. Another woman? He moved on? How could he ever move on from her? Did he forget who he belonged to? Who was this woman? There’s no way he’d choose some slut over her! Every man wanted her yet he moves on like nothing? She froze in her spot, watching his back as he walked away. Her eyes grew wide with anger before she was marching fast up to him, shoving anybody who got in her way before grabbing his sleeve and turning him around with so much strength.* What the fuck did you just say? I swear Christian- You better be lying or I swear- *She screamed at him in the middle of the hallways with the entire school slowing down to watch them. Samantha began to grab his hoodie, shaking him with anger when the tears of pure fury filled her eyes.* YOU BASTARD! TAKE IT BACK- TAKE IT BACK! WHO WAS SHE HUH?! *Samantha cried and screamed before throwing her purse at him, not caring if all the items inside spilled everywhere.* It’s that bitch isn’t it! The woman who stole your attention from me- Isn’t it!!! *She said calmly as she began putting two and two together before the thought of him with another woman flash in her head, making her more angry.* ILL KILL HER- YOU BETTER BE LYING YOU ASSHOLE- YOURE MINE! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!! *She screamed even louder as the male teacher near by had to pull her off of Christian as she was pushing him, hitting his chest.* LET ME GO- LET ME FUCKING GO- ITS NOT OVER CHRISTIAN I SWEAR- IF I CANT HAVE YOU NO BITCH WILL!! *Samanthas screams die down as the teacher pulls her to the office down the hall.*
“What a crazy bitch… anyways ms yn I’m back and I’m sorry if you heard any commotion in the hall a few hours ago, it was my crazy ex you know.. I gotta go home now, but I swear I’ll be there to train Adin!!! and his friends!!! **he makes sure that your class is empty, he kisses your lips hard** I will see you very soon!”

forever I wander, forever I stray
I think I need more time away. I feel old behavior creeping up inside me, that now looks very much like a demon.
You know. Red face. Yellow eyes.
It’s negative six degrees. The air moves through my clothing. Through my skin. Through my muscles. Settles in my bones. Making me a cold bitch ready to fight. I don't have energy to fight so I will stand my ground.
what do I need in this moment? I dont know how to answer that. all that I know is that this feeling is going to try and exhaust me. I do feel like I need to cry. I knew this was going to happen. I was going to be disappointed but, because I expected this, I am prepared and I dont take it personally.
I'm tired of writing about this. I'm tired of it consuming me, I feel like my last resort is having to walk around like a zombie until I'm alive again.
I need me right now. I need all of me, not just some. I dont need anyone to complete me. Remember this. Remember this. Remember this. fuck, please remember this.
fuck I am angry. how do I get rid of this? I dont want it. I want to cry because I can feel ir, I can feel the scream getting bigger, louder. when I am silent, the air sounds like tv static. what the fuck am I sad for? NOTHING. absolutely nothing. nothing. nothing.
honey he lost you. honey, HE LOST YOU. now, keep finding you.
ive had enough of this emotional tourture. I cant be there. I just cant. I need more time away. I need more time carrying the cross.
I can do this. I can handle myself. I can ape myself back in. I am so sick of being inside my fucking head, I'm so sick of being inside my fucking head. take me to my body, take me to my body. How do I get there without forgetting my head?
no one can help me but myself. there's too many things yelling at me. I hate stifling whole am so that small men can avoid discomfort. he is a small man. everything about him is small. fuck no. I'm not doing this maiden thing again. NO FUCKING WAY.
get the fuck up. youre a witch. for god sake, you are an angel.
he is small and pocket sized. he has never given you what you have given him, and he never will. bury it. bury it quickly. bury it as evidence that he won't change. stop believing in the wrong people sis. Call me self righteous , but I say that I just really believe in myself and dont know it. I need to start speaking as such. acting accordingly.
I have my mind focused on what I want. I will not betray myself this time. I will not run. I will act accordingly. I know no fear. I know of no fantasy with you. It wasn't real. It was all dreamt by lust. It was all just a brainwashing. A dark psychology experiment. there was never any love. there was never any reciprocated love. and do I say this because my standard hasn't been met? maybe? but at the time did I have self standards for self? Hell no. Hell no. This time I do. and we will not be sining below those standards. I'm not surprised.
so what do I need?
to keep moving like a fucking queen. to stand and move by my own two feet. cutting through it all like some unholy blade.
yes, unholy blade. get the fuck out of my way. get the fuck out of my head. get the fuck out of my body. this is my body. this is my mind. I tore down your alter months ago. you stupid fucking prick.
rot in hell. oh, I forgot, you already are. burning in the flames of my phoenix, you only allow me to continue to rise.
I wish I had a women like me when I was growing up. well actually I have her now, so better late than never to show up for myself. it's about fucking time. bitch.

i still fucking love this clingy interaction in what i wrote super long ago ive definitely posted this before but look at this:
He awoke to the sound of squawking and tapping against his window. Rubbing at his eyes, Tubbo looked over, seeing Benson standing on the windowsill, very upset. Tubbo grabbed at the little crank at the bottom of the window, and opened it, letting the bird flap its way onto his floor. 
“Good morning Benson,” he said groggily. “I’ll get you something in just a sec, bud. Lemmie get up.” 
Tubbo did not want to get up. He wanted to haul his sleep-heavy body over to the bed and crash all over again. Fuck mornings. Fuck waking up. Sleep should be a 15 hour ordeal. ‘Seven to eight hours’ his ass. He couldn’t believe he fell asleep curled up in the bay window, he always regretted it. 
Okay, maybe a couple more hours in bed was fine. He didn’t have anything else to do today. Tubbo did exactly as he planned, dragging himself five feet over to his bed, pulling back the thick brown comforter, and burying himself in the sheets. Yeah, like… two more hours should be good.
It felt like five minutes before he heard a different, somehow louder squawking. 
“Tubbo, wake the fuck up! Come on, man, it’s nearly noon! Get up, get dressed, we’re going wading!” Tommy Innit was in his fucking room, shaking him awake. He never should have given him that second key. Worst mistake of his fucking life. Tubbo opened his eyes to Tommy’s bright blue squinting down at him. “You look like shit. Did you fall asleep at the fucking window again?”
“Ugghhhh,” Tubbo groaned, sitting up, curly brown hair- normally in his eyes anyways to hide the scar tissue on his face- sticking in every possible direction. “Yeah. And I wanted to get more sleep, thanks.”
“Yeah, no, not happening. We both know if I let you sleep either you’ll be out for thirty hours or this fucking seagull will maul you and eat your flesh and bones.” Tommy looked over at the seagull sitting on Tubbo’s desk. “How… how did he get in?” 
“I let him in.”
“Why?”
“Dickhead wouldn’t stop screaming ‘til I did.”
Tommy ran his hands through his hair. “Yeah, no, that bird’s using you. The bird’s a gold-digger.”
“Benson is not a gold-digger! If he is then he learned well from his ol’ dad then!” Tubbo retorted, climbing out of bed and grabbing his binder and a new shirt. Pants would also be good, but fuck pants. Pants could come when he wasn’t about to crash onto the floor and fall back asleep.
“Do not fucking call the seagull your son, Tubbo,” Tommy bitched, watching Tubbo go into his closet to change. “He’s a fucking wild animal!”
“Well he’s also my son and according to you a gold-digger!” Tubbo stuck his head out of the closet door. “Hand me my shorts.” 
Tommy grabbed the pair of brown shorts with the good pockets for shoving shit into them. “Look- here you go- all I’m saying is he’s got a look in his eyes that screams mischief and mayhem. I would know!”
roleplaying is so much easier than writing to me because i dont have to come up with every single event in the story -_- im sitting here looking at my cbeeduo mermaid fic like how do i fucking pace this shit. maybe i need an outline. maybe improving all of my writing ISNT the best idea.

The vapor from the milk swirled up Taehyung’s nostrils. He slowly withdrew his lips from the cup.
“I’m ready to die if that’s what you really want, Y/N.” He looked at the cup, gently twirling it in his hand.  He crinkled his nose and raised his eyes to yours.
“Will you kiss me goodbye?” He hesitated briefly. “Kiss me like you mean it. Will you?”
Heavy salty drops streamed down your face. Dipping your head, you slowly pressed your lips against his. He deepened the kiss, lapping at your mouth like a man dying of thirst. You closed your eyes, fighting your instinct to flinch and step back. He sighed into your mouth, moaning something that clearly resembled your name.
His fingers tightened around the cup. When you broke the kiss, he looked up with teary eyes.
“I’m ready, Y/N.”
He raised the cup to his meet his lips again. Something snapped inside you, and you instinctively reached out to stop him.
“I am not a killer,” you whispered, voice breaking. “I am not you.”
His features became gloomier. He shook his head, not letting his grip slacken.
“You only want to know about where he is buried.” He dropped his gaze. “Before you try to kill me again.”
Hot blood rose to your cheeks. You did want to go to your husband’s grave. Taehyung was a monster. Undoubtably so. But killing him wasn’t going to bring back all that you had lost.
“No. I-” You had nothing to say. You had all the reasons in the world to want Kim Taehyung dead. But you could not find a reason to want him alive.
“I just- I don’t- you could just let me go, Taehyung.” The words came out in a whisper, sounding like a prayer.
A bitter wince shot through his features. Before you could react, he swatted your arm away and tipped the cup over his mouth in one quick flash.
You watched in stunned horror as he downed all the poisoned milk, witnessing his throat bob around the liquid. He wiped his mouth, setting the cup down.
“I’d rather die, Y/N.” He licked his lips slowly. “Like I just did.” A tired smile stretched over his lips.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
“Taehyung? Taehyung!”
His body was convulsing, froth trickling down the side of his chin. His eyes were fixed on you, but there was no emotion in them. They were devoid of animation. Like the eyes of a ghost.
You crouched down, trying to hold him still.
“Ambulance!” you shouted, trying to get up from the floor. His arm wildly slashed at the air, finding purchase on your ankle.
“No…” he croaked, his face twisting with agony. “Don’t, Y/N.”
You shook him off, running to fish your phone out of your bag. Just as your finger circled the call button, a cold wave of realization hit you. You couldn’t call anyone but Taehyung on your phone.
Spinning around, you caught sight of the man convulsing on the floor.
“I’ll be back. Just- just stay here,” you whispered, making haste to rush out of the kitchen.
You flew like the wind to the brigade of guards patrolling the mansion.
“Help!” you screamed, waving your hands above your head. “Get an ambulance!”
The men turned and looked at you weirdly. It was as if your screams had simply vanished into thin air before falling on their ears. They made no move, there was no sign of acknowledgement.
“Can’t you hear me?” your voice grew even louder. “Taehyung is dying in there!”
Still, no one moved.
“What the hell is wrong with you? Are you a bunch of morons?”
They lowered their weapons, holding them so the muzzles were facing the ground. A guard jogged over to you, removing his Aviators as he did so.
“We know what’s happening, Mrs. Kim. We were ordered to stay out of anything that happened this evening.”
“What?!” Time was ticking on like a time bomb over your head. “What the hell? Get the ambulance this instant!”
The guard’s face flinched. “You don’t understand, Mrs. Kim.”
You bit your quivering lips. “Who had the nerve to give such an order?”
“It was Mr. Kim, ma’am.”
Your gaped in stunned surprise.
The guard went on. “He talked to us before stepping into the house. His instructions were clear. He ordered us not to intervene or stop you in any way.”
“Not to stop me? But I’m trying to save him! Help me!”
The man shook his head, his face betraying the pain he was going through.
“Fuck you! Fuck all of you!” You thrust your hand at him. “Hand me the damn car keys!” He placed them on your palm, and you ran back into the mansion.
Taehyung was writhing on the floor, and his dull eyes lit up when he saw your outline.
“…..came back…” he mumbled, still foaming at the mouth.
“You’re a stupid bitch, Taehyung!” you spat, latching your hands under his arms, and pulling him up.
He was so damn heavy, and you wheezed as you dragged him to the door. Adrenaline gave you inhuman strength - strength you never knew you had possessed. Huffing and wheezing, you reached the porch with Taehyung clinging onto you like a withered leaf.
The guards were huddled by the car, visibly distressed. They didn’t, however, make any attempt to help you lug Taehyung into the vehicle. The guard from earlier stepped forward, blocking you when you tried to hop into the driver’s seat.
“Ma’am- I was instructed to ask in case… “ He quickly glanced at his boss, “… you know what you’re giving up by saving Mr. Kim, don’t you?”
You glared at the man and turned to see Taehyung collapsed in the backseat. He had passed out. Turning back, you shook your head helplessly before pushing the guard away.
Strapping on the seat belt, you sneered at him.
“I know.”
The tires screeched loudly, the smell of hot rubber on gravel filling your nose as you tore out of the gates in full speed.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
Kim Namjoon was watching the blue skyline out of his penthouse suite when his phone buzzed. He didn’t like loud ringtones. Naturally, it wasn’t a surprise that his phone was on vibrate mode. The glass coffee table vibrated, humming along with the phone. He didn’t hear it. Nor did he see the way his phone slightly moved with each ring.
“Um, Excuse me? My phone- can I have it back?”
You bit your lips, resisting the urge to dissolve into a puddle of tears. Handing the phone back to the stranger, you sniffed and retreated to the sofa.
Hoseok’s phone had been switched off. Calls to Bo Na and the Jung house didn’t go through either. You had hoped to run back into Hoseok’s arms, away from all the horrible tangles you were ensnared in.
But you were left alone. Your best friend wasn’t around to hold you. What had happened to him? The deafening loneliness had driven you to do the unthinkable – calling Kim Namjoon.
And he hadn’t picked up either. What were you supposed to do? Were you free to leave? What about the man in the ER? You couldn’t leave him to die. Or could you?
Breathing deeply, you rose from the sofa, making your way through the corridors in a daze. Your legs felt incredibly heavy with each step. You had expected to feel relieved. Joyous even. But why then was it so hard to turn your back? You stopped midtrack as if you were shot. Monster or not, you weren’t leaving a dying man alone. Turning on your heel, you slowly retraced your steps to the sofa.
Right on cue, a nurse opened the door and called out “Who’s here with Mr. Kim Taehyung?”
There was only a split second to make your choice. Would you regret it? You didn’t know.
You raised your hand.
“I am.”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
Taehyung was unconscious and he remained so for hours on end. You found yourself internally struggling during the whole time. You kept walking to the door, turning back, sighing, and sitting down again. It was a hell of a torture to reason with yourself. Weren’t you a better human being? Shouldn’t you stay at least till he woke up? But what would happen then? Would you still get to leave him after?
It was the twelfth time that your hand was on the doorknob, ready to turn it, when his groggy voice called out.
“You… still here?”
Spinning around, you stared at him with wide eyes. He wasn’t fully aware of his surroundings. The dazed look on his face confirmed that.
“Y/N… where am I?”
He looked at the IV cannula hooked to his arm. It came flooding back to him. You had poisoned him. He remembered drinking the milk. He had vague memories of feeling incredibly lonely for a while. But then you had returned. You had helped him up to stand on his feet. But he didn’t know what had happened after that.
He saw your shocked face, his mind still buzzing.
“Y/N, who brought me here?” Speaking made his throat burn. He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to tide over the pounding headache. “I left clear instructions.”
You remained by the door, looking at him warily. “I did.”
He raised his eyebrows in shock. “You?” A sudden bout of coughing interrupted him. “You brought me? How- why?”
Good question. Why indeed? Because you were a fool? That was probably right. You hadn’t expected to feel so guilty when you had planned to poison him. Who poisoned a monster and then drove him to the hospital without fleeing for their lives? Fools did.
“Y/N,” he repeated, his eyes latched onto yours. “You didn’t leave.”
The statement hung in the air like a smothering wet cloud. You stared back at him, finally finding your voice.
“I am now.”
When you turned again, the question whipped on your back like a hot rod.
“Why didn’t you let me die?”
The words rolled into a tight ball in your throat. What were you supposed to tell him?
“I- I’m not a cold-blooded killer like you, Kim Taehyung. I can’t live with that.”
He strained his burning throat to whisper hoarsely:
“Stay with me then. Come here.” He patted the side of his bed.
You scoffed in mock surprise. Folding your arms in defiance, you gave him your toughest glare.
“I’m leaving now.” You took a step forward and hissed “I let you live. And now I’m going.”
He chuckled, and then coughed before smirking at you. “I have your passport. You don’t have a penny to your name. Hoseok isn’t here to bail you out either.”
Your breath caught in your throat. Hoseok? Did Taehyung do something to him?
“H-Hoseok? Where is he? What did you do to him, you bastard?”
He beckoned to you with his finger. “Come here and I’ll tell you.”
You sidled closer, worrying your lip so much that you could taste the blood. His hand shot to your face, the back of his fingers caressing your cheeks before his thumb traced the tiny bitemark on your lip. With a firm tug, he pulled you so that you were sitting haphazardly on the bed. His hand resumed brushing your face.
“Now- where was I?” he purred, a gentle smile tugging the corners of his lips.
“Hobi- where’s-?”
He hummed, nodding. “Oh, yes. Well, I got him on the run. He won’t be coming back in a hurry.”
“What did you do to him?” Your voice was lower than a whisper.
His finger continued drawing lazy circles, slowly working its way down your arm. “Pass me that glass of water, honey,” he said, unmindful of your agitation. You didn’t move, too stunned to react.
“Honey? The water?” His voice grew deeper, the slight stern note kicking you into action.
You passed it to him with shaking fingers, and he grinned happily, like a child who had won his first race. Each second dragged on, as you watched his mouth sip the water in agonizing slowness. He enjoyed tormenting you for a while longer, before giving in to the painful suspense on your face.
“I set him up for tax fraud, baby. He decided he’d rather exile himself than stay and get his ass thrown in jail.”
“Where-”
He shook his head prettily. “Oh, I wouldn’t ask that question, honey. He can’t contact you or he’d be dragged back into the country through call tracing.”
He loved the shocked look on your face. He had begun to miss the surprised wide eyes of older days. These days, it was increasingly difficult for him to catch you off guard.
You shook your head, fighting back the angry tears.
“You’re like mold, Kim Taehyung. You destroy everything you touch. I despise you.”
He stared at you, bringing your palm up to his lips and dropping a kiss in it.
“I love you.” He stopped himself before saying out loud : “You saved me. You love me too.”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
It was a warm and toasty day, with crisp blue waves lapping at the beach in serenity. Hoseok propped his legs up on the deck chair, rubbing his feet together and shaking the grainy sand off his soles. He looked at Bo Na who was approaching with two martini glasses.
“Baby?” she asked, concerned. “Are you okay?”
He sighed, blowing out his cheeks.
“I just- Y/N…  I feel so goddamn guilty for leaving her.” He shook his head sadly. “I’m a coward, aren’t I?”
She set the glasses down, reaching over to pat his head over the brown straw hat.
“We had no choice, Hobi-yah,” she said, taking his hand in hers. “That asshole completely ruined all of our lives.”
Hoseok looked straight ahead at the kids surfing along the waves.
“Poor Y/N,” he said, heart dropping. “She’s chained to a monster. Poor girl. She’s pregnant too.” He clenched and unclenched his fists. “I feel like crap, Bo Na.”
Hoseok’s wife patted his hand soothingly.
“We’ll go back as soon as we sort this out, Hobi. We will.”
He shook his head in resignation. He knew that Taehyung had completely fucked him over. The guy was like a damned viper. He would find some way or the other to keep throwing Hoseok out of your reach. The only way he could go back was after he killed that bastard.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
When she pushed the door open, Taehyung was doubled over his desk, passed out.
“Mr. Kim?”
She reached out to touch him, feeling his weak breath ghost her fingers. She leaned over the table, picking up the phone to call emergency. A weak hand grasped her forearm, and Taehyung slowly raised his head.
“Y/N,” his lids were half-shut, skin cold and clammy to touch. “Y/N, don’t leave me.”
“Let me call emerg-“
He pulled her closer, pressing his forehead into the warmth of her hips.
“No, just stay.”
Soft hands combed through his hair, and gently brushed the long strands away from his eyebrows. He was definitely in heaven. The fingers traced his earlobe, drawing lines along the side of his neck.
“Sit on my lap,” he croaked, gripping the hips tight.
And then he felt the heavenly weight sink on his thighs. You were being so compliant.
“Kim,” the voice drew him in, sending jolts of delight throughout his body. “You need to rest.”
He shook his head, the sudden action making his delirious brain go into overdrive.
“No, you’ll disappear if I do.”
The hand cradled his jaw, and a wet kiss spread a lovely warmth over his clammy forehead.
“I promise I won’t.”
“I feel so tired, Y/N.” His lids fluttered closed, a cold silence blocking his ears. He could feel you panting and struggling to hoist him up. His mind started losing focus. The last thing he heard before passing out cold was:
“I love you, Kim.”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
“How much longer, Se Jong?” the man asked, irritation evident on his features. He was in a bad temper, and the cheap wine had served to infuriate him even further.
“Patience, man,” Se Jong said, leaning back in his chair. The bulb above their head was covered in grime, and it flickered like a dying candle.
“Let me do something. Anything. You’re making me sit on my ass all day every day for months now.”
Se Jong tsked. “You don’t know how dangerous Kim Taehyung is. One wrong move could cost us our lives, man. Why else do you think I’m stuck with you instead of all those hitmen I could have hired?”
The room was silent, the stale smell of cigarettes lingering in the air like unsaid words.
“No one is ready to cross Taehyung,” Se Jong continued. “I’m having such a hard time finding guys to join us without blowing my cover.” The chill running up his spine was very real. “Taehyung’s men would empty their guns inside my head if they even smelled our plots.”
The man opposite him shook his head dejectedly. “What if- what if we change the target? Can’t we do something to his wife- what’s her name? You said he follows her like a blind puppy.”
Se Jong straightened up, looking at his mate carefully. “It’s a bit risky, he drives her around wherever she goes… But that’s certainly an idea…”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
When Taehyung opened his eyes, bright light was streaming in through the windows. His neck was sore. The headache was a terrible bitch, throbbing and making his temples hurt. What puzzled him the most though, was the fact that he was lying on the couch in his office. He didn’t remember going over to the couch.
What he definitely remembered was the warm crook of your hips against his face. But- he looked around- you never visited him in his office. The throbbing resumed with renewed vigor. Had he been dreaming?
“Mr. Kim? Sir?”
His secretary hesitated at the door, hand on the doorknob. He shook himself, sitting upright.
“Yeah?” His eyes were groggy and took a second to focus on the woman.
She worried her lip, unsure.
“Are you alright?”
He didn’t know. “Did you see my wife? I thought she was…” He looked beyond her, expecting to see you around the corner. He swung his eyes back at his secretary. Her blank face told him the answer. No one could bypass Na Yeon and reach his office. He nodded to himself.
“…Never mind.”
“Sir, do you want me to call the doctor?”
“What? No. I’m fine. I just-” He looked around, still uncertain. “-did you come in earlier?”
Confusion spread on her face like ink on parchment.
“I have been with HR all day, going over this quarter’s staffing plans. I came back just now.”
He took a deep breath, coughing immediately after.
“Let me fetch you some water, sir.”
She left, leaving behind a very concerned Taehyung.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
Throughout the day, Taehyung’s thoughts kept returning you. He was sure it had been you. He didn’t remember a lot of details, but the words “I love you, Kim” came back to him, your sultry voice calling his name.
He was agitated on the drive home. He had called his guards just to make sure. The head guard at home had confirmed that you had in fact never left home.
Who then had uttered those words to him?
“Bin-ah,” he called out.
“Yes, boss?”
The man was seated on the front passenger seat.
Taehyung told him where he wanted to go, and Wo Bin nodded. The car changed course, making a full U turn.
── ⋆✩⋆ ──
“I assume you don’t have an appointment?” the psychiatrist asked.
Taehyung shrugged. He wasn’t a man who made appointments. He was a man of very little patience, except when it came to matters concerning you.
“So, how can I help you, Mr. Kim?”
It wasn’t easy to exactly define what he needed help with. In fact, it was obnoxious that the doctor thought he even needed help.
“I only came because I…I was confused.”
“Alright. What are you confused about?”
Taehyung pursed his lips. He didn’t really know. He felt like the doctor wouldn’t truly ever understand it either. Nevertheless, he hazarded a try.
“My wife- I can’t stop thinking about her.”
“I see. It’s only natural to-“
Taehyung clucked his tongue in exasperation. “No, you don’t understand. I keep seeing her. Hearing her. I feel like I might hurt her.”
The doctor considered the statement for a second.
“Let’s talk about the first part. You keep seeing her? Could you explain that?”
It would probably sound crazy. Maybe there was nothing wrong with him. He might have just been tired. Taehyung sighed.
“I- I saw her at my office today.” He ran a finger over his brow. “I faintly remember her touching me and talking to me. She helped me lie on the couch.” His brows creased, internalizing the words as he said them. “But when I woke up, she wasn’t there, she had never left home today, in fact.”
The doctor nodded his head softly, as if he heard stories like this all the time.
“Has this happened before?”
The times he had conjured up fantasies about you were innumerable. How many times had he imagined your plush lips around his cock? How many times had he almost felt your breath on his neck? Too many.
“No.”
“You talked about feeling like hurting her. How exactly do you mean?”
Apart from the fact that he had killed your husband before your eyes?
“She…” Taehyung swallowed thickly. “… she’s pregnant. With her first husband’s child.”
“Does it bother you?”
Well, he did want to fucking rip it out of you. It made him tremble in revulsion to see the bastard growing inside you, flourishing and mocking him every day.
“Sometimes, yes.”
“How does it make you feel?”
Like a fucking loser.
“I love her. I want her all to myself. I can’t share her.”
“Sharing her love with the baby irks you?”
Fuck yes. You couldn’t and shouldn’t love anyone or anything that didn’t involve him.
“I guess.”
“Could I suggest getting a pet, Mr. Kim?”
Why a pet? So that you could hand an even bigger slice of your love to it and ignore him?
“What good would that do?”
“See, Mr. Kim, you have a problem adjusting to the fact that your wife is pregnant, and that you’ve been left out of a significant part of her life-“
This guy seems to be getting somewhere
“-So, adopting a pet could help you bond with her more. It’s like having a baby too, you both would get to participate in raising the pet. It might help you get closer and feel less bothered by the baby.”
What kind of logic works that way?
“I guess I can try getting one.”
“Well, I would suggest adopting one after making sure you’re both not allergic.”
You weren’t allergic to dogs. Or cats. You used to love walking your neighbor’s dogs when you were single.
“Fine.”
“Right, Mr. Kim. Would you like to come back for another session to discuss further? You might have some issues I’d like to help you with.”
Like hell he would.
“We’ll see.”
“You see, Mr. Kim, you seem to be carrying a lot of emotional baggage. We could talk more over another session….”
Taehyung stood up, giving the doctor a firm nod that was supposed to convey his thanks. Without another word, he stepped out and left.
Once outside, the car again changed course towards an animal shelter. Taehyung had no trouble choosing the pet he wanted. You loved dogs. He had seen you eagerly asking your neighbor if she wanted help with her dog. He even knew which breeds you liked.
“Do you have Golden Retrievers? Corgis? Pomeranians?”
The attendant nodded. Leading Taehyung to the kennel, he said “We have a Golden puppy. He’s a great little guy.”
The puppy in question was curled up in a corner, his silky coat littered with burrs. He looked up at Taehyung, cute eyes shining in expectation. There were other pups with him, but he seemed to seriously miss human interaction. His leg was bandaged, and he whined at the human looking at him through the bars.
“The bandage?”
The attendant clicked his tongue.
“They get into fights, and another pup nipped at his leg. But he has had his shots, no worries.”
A lone puppy. Picked on by other pups.
A couple hours later, Taehyung walked out of the shelter, carrying the Golden pup in his arms, all cleaned and spruced up, with a huge red bow around his neck.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
You were cursing in frustration at the needles. The old school sentimental mom in you had wanted to knit your baby a warm fuzzy sweater. But the damned stitches kept falling apart. It was bizarre, considering you were very good with needles. You had even embroidered Yoongi’s initials in all his pocket squares with seamless finish.
“Damn it!”
You threw the ball of yarn over your shoulder, cross at the stupid thread. Sighing in frustration, you were trying to calm yourself when something butted your elbow. It was wet. Was it him licking you? You shuddered and turned slowly.
A wet nose was against your elbow, yes, but the owner of the nose wasn’t Taehyung. It was a handsome puppy. The ball of yarn was securely nestled in his mouth, and he wagged his tail at you, shaking his pretty bow in the process.
“Hey…” You crooned, smiling down at him. “Who are you, boy?”
Taehyung stood at the doorway, leaning against the frame with his arms folded.
“We adopted him.”
You stood up, all the messed-up yarn falling to the floor.
“We did what?”
He shrugged his shoulders.
“We have a puppy together.”
You looked down at the puppy in disbelief. His starry eyes were bright as they looked up at you. You knelt down and patted his head, happiness filling up your heart.
“And I don’t get a say? You should have asked me.”
“Well, you love him. So why bother picking a fight with me?” He found your pouting attractive. “Of course, you get a say, you get to name him.”
You never thought anything Taehyung did could ever delight you. But fate had its way, and you were grinning as you booped the pup’s nose, saying:
“Almond. You’re Almond.”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
“Namjoonah?”
The younger Kim stopped outside his father’s study, popping his head in at the door.
“Yeah, dad?”
“Your mother didn’t say you were coming tonight.”
“Ah, I wanted to drop by before I headed to Ha Ni’s.”
“Give your girlfriend my love.”
Namjoon nodded. He saw his father’s face twist in uncertainty.
“What is it, dad?”
His father wiped his glasses, signaling Namjoon to close the door and grab a seat.
“I can’t say much, boy, but Kim Taehyung showed up at my office today.”
Namjoon did a double take.
“What?” His mouth went dry. “What did he want?”
His father rubbed his temples, deep in thought.
“He came for help. Saying he feared harming his wife.”
Namjoon’s jaw clenched. “Y/N?”
“Yes. He apparently doesn’t enjoy Min’s baby disrupting his life. Do you- Do you think he would hurt her? Or the baby?”
The hooded eyes burned with anger. Exhaling sharply, Namjoon’s thick voice growled:
“Well, she would deserve it then. I don’t give a shit about that bitch.” He rose, clenching his fist tight. “I don’t even think it’s Min’s baby anyway.”
He stormed out, leaving his dad staring at the doorway, worry creasing his features.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
“Mr. Kim?”
Taehyung was grabbing his coat and keys when he heard the voice. He raised his eyebrows at his secretary.
“Mr. Jinyoung is waiting to meet you.”
Na Yeon’s boss looked at her in confusion. “Isn’t he supposed to be here at 3 pm?”
“No, Mr. Kim, his appointment was at 11 am.”
He didn’t believe her. He had carefully scheduled his appointments around your ultrasound. He wanted to go with you.
“Let me see the appointments journal.”
Sure enough, his secretary had jotted down Jinyoung’s name for a 11 am appointment. But he remembered saying 3 pm so clearly
“Tell him to come back at another date. I am leaving.”
“But, sir –“
He flashed her a warning look. Kim Taehyung was never contradicted. Except, of course, by you.
“I am taking my wife for her sonogram. Don’t call me unless it’s urgent.”
── ⋆✩⋆ ──-
At the doctor’s, he held your hand, squeezing it gently. Your attempts to shrug his hand off were futile. Besides, it was an expensive clinic that only the elite could afford. It was a given that everyone knew who you both were. The social eyebrows would frown on you if something awkward happened.
The gel was cold on your belly. It made your toes curl. The transducer wand moving all over your belly produced images of your baby on the monitor. Involuntary tears pricked the corners of your eyes as you watched, spellbound. A deep ache in your heart reminded you that Yoongi wasn’t present to see his child’s sonogram.
In his place, however, was another man, his murderer, holding your hand and blowing on your knuckles as he too silently watched the child’s images.
Taehyung couldn’t understand what he was feeling. There was a tiny version of you, getting ready to come out to the world, trusting him and you to be loving parents. His mind screamed at him that it was part Min too, but his heart wanted to focus on the part Y/N at that moment.
“You have a very healthy baby, Mrs. and Mr. Kim,” the doctor said, smiling down at you. While you wiped yourself clean, Taehyung thanked the doctor and murmured some questions which you didn’t quite catch.
“Very well, then.” You saw her nod in enthusiasm.
As he steered you out the door, you hissed at him, asking what he had been up to.
“Nothing.” His face was sincere. “I told her that we didn’t want a gender reveal.”
You spun around.
“We? You fucking impose your ideas on me all the time, Taehyung.” You hadn’t wanted to know the gender either. But it was rude of him to take all decisions on his own, tying it up with the ‘we’ bow.
“I know what you want, love.”
You faced away, fuming. It was maddening how he seemed to read you so well.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
Taehyung was at a loss for words. He had missed eight appointments, each one just as important as the other. Just because he seemed to have his schedules mixed up. Each time his schedule clashed with plans to take you out, he chose you over his own appointments. He couldn’t understand how his time got so muddled however much he tried to keep his professional appointments away from personal time.
Na Yeon was standing before him, worrying her lip, looking meek.
“Sir, if you don’t mind, can I suggest something?”
A sharp sigh gave her the permission she sought.
“Can I arrange Mrs. Kim a personal chauffeur?”
“What?”
She took a step back instinctively, scared at his tone.
“I just think… that it would be easier for you.” She looked like she would faint with fear. “I mean, she could have the chauffeur to take her to her appointments. And- and he can keep tabs on her whereabouts.”
Taehyung was about to deny the idea. But then, he remembered the eight missed meetings, and the deals that hadn’t gone through because of them. He grudgingly admitted that it would perhaps be better to get you a chauffeur of your own.
“Well, tell Wo Bin to arrange for one of the guards to-“
He was interrupted by a file, which she extended to him meekly.
“I have already chosen very skilled people to shortlist from, sir. Using our guards might make Mrs. Kim feel uneasy.”
He thought about it. Hiring one of his own men to drive you around was safer. But you would feel on edge. As if having dozens of men around you at the house wasn’t enough. Na Yeon was right.
He skimmed through the file. There were five shortlisted candidates.
“The best out of these five?”
She drew nearer, leaning to turn the pages. Her perfume reached his nostrils. The smell brought some vague memories back. Weird, faded ones.
“This man,” she pointed at a picture, and then turned the page over to point at another.
“And this one. These two are contenders, very skilled and trustable.”
Taehyung nodded.
“Hire whichever one is the best.”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
Jinyoung was deep in discussion with Taehyung, talking over the nuances of their deal. The water in the crystal glasses started to ripple, and Jinyoung scowled at his counterpart, pissed. The source of the vibration was Taehyung’s phone-and it flashed your name on the caller ID.
Taehyung didn’t hesitate.
“Yes, love.”
“Stop calling me that, asshole.”
“Tell me, my sweet.”
“Blueberries.” Taehyung reached for his notepad, jotting down. “Chocolate ice cream. Apricots. No, Dragon fruit. Oh, and Hershey’s kisses. Get me the almond ones.”
Taehyung subconsciously nodded his head, writing all your demands down.
“Anything else, honey?”
“Fuck you.”
“I love you too. I’ll get them to you.”
Taehyung grinned when you cut the call abruptly. He was still grinning when Jinyoung glared at him.
“What the fuck, man?” He was peeved. “In the middle of a business meeting?”
Replacing the phone on the table, Taehyung glided his hand to the file he was reading.
“It was my wife.”
Jinyoung scoffed. “You ditched my appointment once already. And now this? I can’t deal with you.”
He got up, nose flaring. “Fuck you. And your dumb cunt. You’re pathetic, running after a pussy who already got knocked up for fuck’s sake.”
Jinyoung’s head made contact with the glass tabletop, smashing it to bits, blood pooling on the sharp shards. The collision had a heavy impact, shattering everything and leaving only the steel frame intact.
“What the hell did you say, motherfucker?” Taehyung grabbed the man’s head by his hair, driving him into the steel frame. “How dare you insult my Y/N?” He kept banging the man’s head against the metal, not satisfied until he passed out and went limp.
“Fucking piece of shit.”
He spat on the unconscious figure, kicking his midriff with violent force. He was heaving with the exertion, sweat wetting his collar and trickling down his neck. His eyes landed on his phone and his face slowly lit up again.
You had called him and ordered him to get you the things you craved. You wanted him. You had thought of him. His smile radiated in his eyes, and his heart smiled too.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
It was the seventh month of your pregnancy. Fuck the calculation of weeks. It made you crazy if people asked in which week you were. The hormones were completely off balance. You snapped at anything and everything under the sun. Almond was the only living creature you didn’t snap at.
Taehyung received a fair dose of kicks and bites, mostly when he tried initiating kisses and make-out sessions. He couldn’t bear to have sex with you, not when your belly was swollen with Yoongi’s child. But he couldn’t stop himself from trying to kiss you.
He got angry when you pushed him away. He was scared that your baby was quickly becoming the center of your attention. It felt threatening that a weak bundle of muscle inside you was challenging his position in your life.
It was one similarly exasperating day when he saw you knitting a scarf, you had given up on a sweater because it was too puzzling, and Almond was lying contentedly at your feet. He sneaked behind the couch, trying to put his hand around your neck so he could kiss you. But a harsh jab of the knitting needle poked his ribs, leaving him gasping in pain.
“Y/N, what the hell?” He clutched his chest in agony.
“Keep your hands to yourself, you bastard.” You spat at him in anger, already irritated by your hot flashes and frequent need to pee.
Almond whined at the sudden raise in voices, and you instinctively bent to soothe him, rubbing his nose.
Watching the fucking dog getting better treatment than him led Taehyung to fly off his handle. Mouth curling, he grabbed Almond by the collar, dragging him out of the room. You shouted at him to stop, swearing angrily, but he pushed you away. He was muttering at the dog in anger as he pulled and tugged, slamming the door shut on him.
You could hear the whines and soft scratching of paws against the door.
“What the hell are you doing, Taehyung?” Your voice was a scream.
“Showing you who is in charge.” He ground his teeth, anger lending a murderous flash to his visage.
He pushed you carelessly, sending you flying to land on the couch. The sudden push made your head throb.
Unbuckling his belt, he pulled it free from the loops, throwing it away, the metal buckle hitting the floor with a clang.
Your voice caught, and you half choked out: “Don’t you fucking dare.”
Reaching his hand out, he pulled the straps of your dress down, exposing your breasts to him. Pregnancy had led to swollen breasts, so you were usually braless.
The only good side of the pregnancy, to him, was that your breasts had become bigger and hence he had more soft flesh to rub his face into.
He didn’t lay a finger on you. His attention was focused on your breasts, and he took his already hard member out, stroking himself. The pre-cum glided on his thick shaft, generously coating him and making lewd noises.
“Eyes on me,” he breathed, seeing you attempt to close them.
“You are a shitbag, Taehyung.” Anger made your face feel feverishly hot.
“Don’t take that tone with me, Y/N Kim.”
You flinched at the surname, and his devilish smile flashed at you.
“You’re a Kim, my Y/N Kim. Remember that, sweetie.”
He stroked himself, an intent gaze fixating on your breasts, watching the way they heaved with each breath. The sight made him go wild, and he stroked harder, hand working in a frenzy. Before he knew it, he was panting your name out, taking strangled breaths and shooting his cum on your breasts. He licked his lips as he witnessed his essence dripping in globs onto the cloth bunched over your belly.
He was shaking, and he squatted down, his breaths labored and heavy.
Almond whined again, and he snapped his head towards the door, shouting in rage:
“SHUT UP!”
He turned back to face you, a blissed out look on his face. An adoring smile stretched his lips wide.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
Almond was banished from the house. He was put in a kennel outside, and he wasn’t allowed to go near the main house unless the master desired. You weren’t allowed near him either.
“Why are you doing this?” you had asked, and he had shrugged simply.
“Nothing is more important to you than me. Remember that Y/N. It’s a lesson.”
He dropped his gaze to your bump, and grinned when you put your hands on your belly protectively.
“Cute. But you can’t protect your baby unless you listen to me.”
“Why are you this way, Taehyung? Haven’t you tormented me enough?”
His heart felt stabbed. He had done everything for you. Everything he had done was out of love. Why couldn’t you understand? You were so ready to give your whole heart on a platter to that fucker Yoongi. But why weren’t you throwing even one morsel of love his way?
You put your hands on your hips.
“If you love me as you say, let me go. Let me live my life.”
He was looking down.
“Taehyung?” You sighed in pain. “Do you really love me?”
He looked up directly into your eyes.
“Do you?”
You stood motionless, the heavy silence smothering him.
“Yeah. I thought so.”
He scoffed and got up. You had to learn to love him. It would take time. But he would wait. He almost turned, but stopped when he remembered something.
“I want you to embroider my initials in my pocket squares. They’re all on the dresser. The maid will bring the needles and thread.”
He advanced towards you with a disarming smile.
“Remember, it’s KTH. I’ll let you take Almond on a walk after you finish doing it, my dearest.”
He pecked your cheek, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear.
“I’ll see you in the evening, love.”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
Taehyung was in hot water. You were dangling his pocket square in your left hand, holding his tie with the right.
“What is this stain, bitch?” you growled, leering at him.
The lipstick stain was bright red, the lip prints visible clearly on the white fabric, right above the embroidered KTH. You had found it on him as soon as he walked in.
He had been taken aback when you had jumped on him, pulling his tie in anger.
“You fucking kill my husband, lock me up in this goddamn house and go get a whore’s lips on you? Who do you think you are?”
His face was ghastly, shocked at the accusation. He didn’t know how the lipstick stain had got on the fabric. He always wore suits, and he always wore his pocket squares to show off the beautiful KTH embroidered by your pretty fingers.
What angered him more than your being mad at him was the fact that someone had ruined his precious monogrammed pocket square. He had no idea how it had happened.
“Is this a trick, you sick fuck?” you spat, “Did you make me embroider that just to insult me like this?”
“Y/N, no, I would never,” his tone was panicked. “I have no idea, I swear. I don’t know how it got on me.”
Your bitter stare sliced through his heart. Who had played such a sick prank on him? Who had the fucking nerve to? He couldn’t think of anyone other than you having the balls to mess with him. Balls. He scoffed. More like boobs. And a fucking baby.
You let go of his tie with a spiteful tug.
“Bitch. You are a bitch, Kim Taehyung.”
He controlled his urge to slap you. He had refrained from hitting you as much as he could. But your favorite swear word was making his blood boil. You kept calling him a bitch. Maybe he was, but you were the real bitch. The bitch who just wouldn’t let him love you.
“Wash the stain yourself. Don’t touch me, I loathe you.”
You were about to move when he tugged on your elbow.
“Don’t be a bitch, Y/N. I won’t cheat on you. You are my wife.”
“Yeah. And the mistress of this fucking house. Watch me, I’ll come with a man’s cum on my kerchief one day, and-“
The slap was incredibly harsh, leaving a hot red print of his entire hand on your cheek. Your hand flew to cup your smarting cheek, but he slapped again, and again. The force made your head lurch left and right. The tears washed down your cheeks, staining them and burning the sore skin.
His hand found the nape of your neck, cradling it. His blank manic eyes stared deep into yours.
“I will snap you in two if I smell another man on you.”
The tone was cold as ice, making your gut churn. He stared for a long time, unblinking and stern. Finally, as if he were out of a trance, he let go of your neck and pushed you away with unnecessary force.
You didn’t say a word, moving away from him with flaming hot cheeks.
He didn’t argue when you slept on the couch that night. But when you woke up at midnight to pee, you saw him lying on the floor, just adjacent to the couch, fast asleep.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
Taehyung brought his work home in the last trimester of your pregnancy. He wanted to be near you, soothing you and making sure you were alright. Besides, he found that he was having zero productivity at his office while you were at home. He didn’t want one of his guards helping you up the stairs or fetching you hot chocolate. It had to be him.
He would be dictating to his secretary in his study and you would shout out to him.
“Grapefruit. I fucking want grapefruit.” If he didn’t respond, you would punctuate with a “Can you hear me, asshole?”
He learned to get on his feet as soon you called. It was amusing to watch his secretary squirm in her seat when he got shouted at. He didn’t really feel ashamed. Rather, he felt happy that you wanted him.
It was hard to watch you struggle at night. He couldn’t sleep, not when he knew you were wide awake. Even if you did doze off, you would awaken screaming, drenched in sweat. He would ball his fists; hands itching to cuddle you and provide comfort. But he suspected he was probably the reason for your nightmares in the first place.
So, night after night, you both lay awake in your beds, pretending to sleep, trying to fool each other. He would assist you to get up and turn to lie on your side. But the rest of the time, the bedroom was filled with heavy sighs and muffled sobs.
Na Yeon once tried commenting on his dark puffy eyebags.
“Mr. Kim, your eyes-“
“Huh? What about them?”
She shuffled her feet nervously.
“You don’t seem to be sleeping enough.”
Just then, you yelled out:
“Kim Taehyung, black currant ice cream.”
He bolted out the door, returning only after a good thirty minutes. When he came back, Na Yeon risked another comment.
“Sir, she is being really… “
Taehyung had looked at her sternly, cutting her short.
“Say a word against my wife and I’ll fucking fire your ass.”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
It was a fine spring day. Taehyung had made sure to check on you before making his way to the study. You had looked ripe. He was sure it was coming soon. The half bastard – half angel was coming soon.
He was talking about a drug deal with another drug lord. The door was closed because the man had demanded it.
Na Yeon was outside, waiting for the meeting to end. She rummaged in her bag to find something. Her hand made contact with the slender wire of her earphones. She started blasting a song, turning the volume up and pressing the buds hard into her ears.
The phone in the study rang, and Taehyung picked it up whilst he was still talking to the man, not noticing the caller ID.
“Taeh-I-I aarghh” The line disconnected.
In a second, he was on his feet, running to the bedroom and throwing the door open. You were lying on the floor, unconscious and out cold. The phone had dropped and switched off on impact with the floor.
“God, Y/N!” he dialed emergency, simultaneously checking your pulse. It felt very weak. “Stay, stay, stay with me,” he muttered, ears ringing in anxiety.
── ⋆✩⋆ ──-
A couple hours later, he was prancing outside the ER, unable to breathe. He didn’t care about the baby. He really didn’t. But you had looked shockingly ill. Your lips had been blue. Dangerously low blood pressure, the nurse had said. He swore he wouldn’t forgive himself if something happened to you.
“Mrs. Kim’s attendant?” The nurse called out, peeking her head out.
“Yeah?” His voice came out dry and raspy. “I’m her… husband.”
“We’re taking her to the labor room, she’s stable and prepped.”
He wiped the sweat off his forehead in relief. He felt like he had just run a marathon. Taking deep breaths, he went off to go wash his face and join you in the labor room.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
“Ah, shit shit,” he was cursing, the hard squeeze almost breaking his palm. “It’s okay baby, you’re doing great.”
The contractions were fucking painful, and you took great joy in squeezing his hand to death. You were 10 already centimeters dilated, so what was keeping the baby so long?
Taehyung was going crazy by your side, and it didn’t help that at every painful contraction, he screamed at the doctor:
“Get it out, get it the fuck out!”
The pushing started, and you squeezed even harder, inflicting as much pain on him as you could. He took it like a champ, though he swore till his mouth was dry.
“I can see the head, Mrs. Kim! Great job, keep pushing!” the doctor’s voice sounded from between your legs.
“Just a bit more, just a bit more, honey,” he cooed, biting his lips to contain his cussing. He was sure you had broken a few bones in his hand.
With one blood curling scream, you gave one final push, and the room was filled with a hearty cry of an infant.
“Congratulations, Mrs. Kim, it’s a beautiful baby girl.”
The doctor held up the beautiful bundle you and Yoongi had lovingly created, and tears wouldn’t stop trickling down your cheeks at the thought of him missing his daughter’s birth.
“Mr. Kim, do you want to cut the umbilical cord?”
Taehyung went to the foot of the bed. The man who had ruined the father of the baby you had just birthed. His hands were shaking when he snipped the cord. A killer, witnessing the miracle of life. Fucking ironic.
He had the skin-to-skin, as you watched bleary eyed. It was so unfair. Yoongi was supposed to be holding your baby. He was supposed to be crying tears of joy. He was supposed to have the first skin-to-skin
After being cleaned, she was given to you, and the brilliant black eyes made you gasp in happiness. They were exactly Yoongi’s shining ones.
“Do we have a name yet?” the midwife asked mildly, smiling at you.
Taehyung clenched his teeth. It had been the deal, after all. You did get to name the baby if you took his name.
Looking out the window, you smiled at the blue sky. You had chosen the name with great care.
“Ha Neul.” You looked down at the mini Yoongi in your arms. “Min Ha Neul.”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
Sure, it was a fact that babies needed to be near their mother and stuff, but Taehyung was quickly losing all his patience. Considering your health, the doctor had advised you to stay back for a couple days to monitor the hypotension. And to Taehyung’s annoyance, almost ninety percent of your time was dedicated to rocking, crooning, and- he shuddered- breastfeeding the little tyke.
He hated it when you nursed the baby. It took all his self-control to prevent plucking the little bastard from your arms and throwing her away. You had seen his face a few times, and you had ordered him to get out whenever Ha Neul needed feeding. It only served to make him resent the child more.
He had asked his secretary to send news of the baby being born to the circle. He didn’t want to, but some traditions were traditions, and he couldn’t change them.
A steady stream of visitors came and left, bringing the little one a lot of gifts and clothes. To them, the child was a descendant of the Min family. And that in itself warranted their inclusion in the celebrations of her birth.
Namjoon’s father had called him.
“Joonah, Y/N has given birth to a daughter.”
There were mixed feelings crashing inside Namjoon’s heart when he heard the news. When he didn’t reply, his father pressed.
“Your mother and I have already seen her. She’s just like Min Yoongi.” There was a pause. “You go too, son.”
It was a very confused Namjoon who arrived at the hospital, carrying flowers and a Penguin plushie. He was an uncle. His best friend’s daughter had been born. He remembered how Yoongi had smiled his gummy smile, confiding in him that he wanted his first born to be a daughter. Namjoon’s small fond smile evaporated. Because Yoongi had wanted a mini version of you. You, the bitch who married fucking Kim Taehyung as soon as Yoongi died.
Part of him believed that the child wasn’t Yoongi’s. He told himself that you had probably been screwing Taehyung behind Yoongi’s back, and the girl was possibly Taehyung’s.
You had just burped Ha Neul and laid her down, when Taehyung was hot on your tail.
“You don’t remember Almond, do you?” he hissed.
You turned incredulously. “What is that supposed to mean?”
His lips trembled as he shot a murderous look at your daughter.
“Do you want her to be locked away like he is?”
You leered at him. “The fuck do you want? Don’t you dare threaten me.”
He scoffed in derision. “Kiss me.”
“Fuck off, Taehyung.”
He reached his hand down to the giggling infant. “Well, in that case…”
You threw a punch at his ribs, screaming at him. “Fuck you, bitch.”
He smiled. “So that’s a yes?”
Namjoon raised his hand to knock at the already open door, stopping when he saw Taehyung lean down to kiss you. He gritted his teeth when he saw you kissing him back.
“My tongue, lick my tongue,” Taehyung moaned, and Namjoon’s face crumpled in disgust when you complied. Bitch.
He rapped on the door loudly, making you jump and withdraw back to the propped cushions. Clearing his throat, he spoke tonelessly:
“I- uh, I came to see the baby.”
Taehyung and Namjoon exchanged murderous stares, and your husband stepped away to let the man see the baby.
Namjoon’s doubts vanished as soon as he saw the lovely eyes of your daughter. Just like Min. The little lips were like orange pulp, delicate and soft. He placed his gifts on the bedside table and bent down, crooning at her.
“Hey, little Min, it’s uncle Kim!”
He didn’t bother looking at you, throwing the question at no one in particular.
“Her name?”
You whispered softly, chest puffing up with pride.
“Min Ha Neul.”
He nodded, smiling down at the child, touching her nose gently. If only his best friend had lived to see his fine daughter.
When Namjoon left, he was not sure if he simply disliked you or abhorred you. True, the baby had been Min’s, but he had witnessed you kissing the slimy Kim bastard as if you were eating his face. He called his father after he reached his apartment.
“I saw her, dad, she’s exactly like Yoongi.” His tone changed. “You don’t have to worry about Y/N being unsafe, she is in fact very comfortable with Kim.”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
Your days were spent changing poop diapers and chasing after your daughter when she crawled near guards with guns. Having the baby and raising her all alone, with zero help from Taehyung, was hard. He was a diva, he wouldn’t even go near a soiled diaper, let alone touch it.
“You made her, you take care of her,” was always the reply when you demanded him to pitch in.
One day though, you had left her in the nursery and gone to take a shower. The water was running, muffling all the sounds from outside your room. You were halfway through your shower, shower gel suds all over your palms and shampoo dripping down your eyebrows, when a piercing squeal almost stopped your heart.
There were a few more squeals, and then Ha Neul’s bawls filled the whole mansion. Wrapping a towel around your soapy body, you dashed out towards the nursery. The cries were still loud, and you tumbled at full speed in her direction.
The door was open, and when you slid to a halt before her crib, Taehyung was there, holding her with a disgusted expression.
“Little piece of-“ he was muttering, shaking her like a ragdoll. When he saw you, he stuffed her into your arms, crinkling his nose up.
“Ger it to stop! Get it to stop! God, I’m going crazy!”
You shushed her, letting her nestle into the safety of your arms.
“What were you doing to her?” you snapped, glaring at him.
He scowled at you, showcasing his arms.
“That dratted bastard- shat all over my hands. Ugh.” He shuddered. “Where the fuck were you? I tried to change her but she wouldn’t fucking shut up.”
A smile threatened to pry your lips open.
He ground his teeth, glaring at the now-calm baby.
“Fucking screams like a hyena,” he said, turning away and stomping off to wash his hands.
When you returned to the bathroom to finish your shower, he was holding the bottle of shampoo, reading the label.
“Funny,” he said, glancing at you as you entered the bathroom. “This label doesn’t mention any fragrance.”
“Huh?”
He squeezed a dollop of shampoo onto his palm and sniffed at it. “I was right, it has no scent.”
“Get out, Kim Taehyung. I need to shower.”
He grabbed the towel and pulled you closer, turning the shower on. The water ran down your damp hair, letting all the bubbles wash away. The wet towel dropped to the floor, bunching around your feet. His hands were all over your shoulders and back, gently kneading your muscles.
You tried to rebel, but his grasp just grew tighter. Deciding to get it over with, you let him caress you. Much to his joy, he pulled you closer and kissed you sweetly. Usually he was aggressive and went for your tongue. But this time it was soft and almost romantic.
He moaned softly into your mouth, cupping the supple flesh of your butt as he thrust his lower body against yours. His eyes were closed when he broke the kiss and roamed down to your neck. There was a sharp prick on the side of your neck, and it vanished just as suddenly when he bent to suckle on the mark.
“God, Y/N,” he murmured, kissing the hickey fervently. “You make me go wild.”
He grabbed your wet locks, sniffing at them like he always did. When he opened his eyes, he was smiling, realization dawning on him.
“It’s not the shampoo. It’s you. You smell like berries.”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
“It’s time, Se Jong,” the caller said, breathing into the phone conspiratorially. “Her car just zoomed past mine.”
Se Jong drew a deep breath. It had been goddamn hard to get you alone in the car. You only came out of the Kim mansion rarely, and usually a guard accompanied you if you took Ha Neul with you. Taehyung was wary and paranoid that you would try and run away with your daughter.
Se Jong couldn’t risk being identified by any guard. It had taken a whole damn year for him to plan your accident.
Things had started to turn bright for him when the guard stopped accompanying you when you went out without Ha Neul. The chauffeur might recognize him, but he was willing to take that risk. If any of Taehyung’s guards even heard a whisper of what he was about to do, he’d be skinned alive. He was sure of that. Those men were fiercely loyal to their boss. Se Jong scoffed. Dogs. He would become the next mafia lord and they would all come running to worship his feet.
He started the ignition, carefully glancing at the road, waiting for the sleek black car to appear. He had tried to get a hitman, but the wimp had backed out as soon as he had started saying “Kim…” So, he had no choice but to get his hands dirty.
The afternoon rain had left the roads slippery, and it was a stroke of luck on Se Jong’s side when your car came careening around the corner a bit faster than needed. He released the hand brake, hurtling forward at full speed and crashing right in the middle of your vehicle.
── ⋆✩⋆ ──-
The air was filled with smoke, and you couldn’t see properly. The impact had been sudden, and the chauffeur had been knocked out. Coughing and trying to clear your burning throat, you reached out to open the door when it swung wide open. A man’s pants and belt were visible, but it was all so blurred that you couldn’t make out who it was.
His hand reached in, clamping tightly around your eyes as the other arm worked on pulling you out of the car.
“What?” you started to ask before your mouth was covered with the grime-covered hand.
“Shut up,” the man hissed in your ear, pressing your back against his chest as he pulled you to your feet. “Don’t make any noise.”
He was hugging you from behind, one hand covering your mouth and the other pressed against your eyes. He slowly inched you forward, telling you to move one step at a time.
The smell of burnt tires filled your nostrils, and you staggered forward blindly, trying your best to lean away from the man’s chest. The distant sound of a car grew closer and closer, and just as he tried to make you crouch down, you elbowed him sharply.
He cursed in pain, grabbing you by the hair and trying to push you into his car. You attempted to veer around, and a heavy strike sent your head crashing against the doorframe. Your vision blurred, and everything seemed to grow dark.
“Hey!”
A man was calling from somewhere to your left, but you couldn’t focus.
“Hey! Let the lady go!”
The voice was louder now, and you blinked in confusion. Crinkling your eyes in desperate concentration, you tried to see who your assailant was. But just as you turned to face him, a sickening punch hit you like a gunshot, throwing your head back and causing you to tumble. The last sound you heard before your head hit the gravel was the hasty squeal of tires racing away from the scene.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
The lights were making your head pound. There were so many people bustling around, but it all seemed to be happening in slow motion. The voices were too hard to comprehend. But you could feel that something was definitely different with your head. There were thick bandages wrapped heavily around your head, feeling like a big boulder was tying you down.
People came in and shone lights into your eyes, telling you instructions in voices so muffled that you couldn’t understand what was being asked of you.
He wasn’t there. You knew that much at least. It was more by instinct that you knew that.
Your body hadn’t tensed up into a tight coil the entire time you were conscious. Maybe you could slip out of the room unnoticed when you felt better. But the pounding in your head was too much to risk an attempt anytime soon.
It was only on the next day that your hearing got clearer. The clogged sensation slowly alleviated, and you could hear the doctors discussing your charts with their colleagues. You wondered if you could try and make a run for it.
You were debating internally as to what should be done. Just as your toe touched the cold hospital marble, the door opened, and your daughter ran in. She made straight for your arms, jumping into the bed, and clasping her little hands around your waist.
“Mmommieeth!”
“Oh! My baby Min!”
Hugging her in joy, you exclaimed at the shiny truck she had dropped in her haste to run to you.
“Oh, what a gorgeous truck!”
She giggled innocently, bunching your gown tightly in her little fingers.
“Daddath,” she lisped happily, and your breath stopped for a second. Slipping in through the doorway was the embodiment of all your worst feelings in the world.
He casually waltzed in, taking note of your foot resting on the floor. He raised one eyebrow cockily.
“Going somewhere?”
He was holding a slew of wrapped lollipops in his hand, as if it were the most common thing in the world for him to carry candy around.
You refused to answer, choosing to settle back into the bed instead. So much for planning to run away.
He sauntered nearer, placing the lollipops down on the bedside tray and reaching a hand out to touch your forehead.
His fingers made slight contact with the bandages, and he sighed heavily.
“Oh, sweet baby wife,” he murmured, his deep baritone voice sending unexpected thrills up your spine. “I shouldn’t let you out of my sight anymore.”
God, was he going to ban you from leaving the house?
“It was an accident…” you whined, hoping that he wouldn’t press the issue any further.
“Lollipop!” your daughter interrupted, thrusting the candy into Taehyung’s big hand. He silently unwrapped it, handing it to her before turning to face you. He moved over and sat on the edge of the bed.
“Y/N,” his tone was serious, “you had surgery. You were out cold for a whole day. You can’t imagine how much I was-“ He bit his lip, and you squinted hard to see if it was a tear shining under his lids.
“I had surgery? What- how? He hit me that hard?”
Taehyung’s jaw tightened in silent fury.
“About that, yeah,” he said, gently pressing your hand. “Who was that? Did you see that son of a bitch?”
You could see his nostrils flaring. It was quite a sight, your daughter cheerfully savoring a candy while Taehyung seethed in stony anger near her, clearly fighting his urge to throw and break things.
“I’ll get that fucking son of a bitch, I will,” he muttered, making you scowl.
“Don’t swear before my daughter,” you snapped, and he nodded absently. When he looked back at you, his eyes were loaded with concern.
The pads of his fingers traced your forehead softly.
“A subdural bleed-“ he was talking to himself at that point, “- how much it would have hurt…” His lips trembled. In anger or in concern you weren’t sure.
The moment was broken when a doctor came in, requesting Taehyung to stay outside for a few minutes while she inspected your bandages.
She smiled at your daughter, pinching her cheek gently. Ha Neul popped the lollipop out just long enough to say “Docthor Mogo.”
The doctor chuckled and nodded. “Hi Mrs. Kim. I’m Dr. Montgomery, I’ll just need to take your vitals and ask you a few questions.”
You smiled at her, throwing the question at her. “Mogo?”
She laughed. “It’s easier to pronounce. You have a very intelligent child.”
You beamed in pride. “Yes, she is. Wait, how does she know you?”
The doctor paused in surprise. “Oh? Mr. Kim- he was here the whole time ever since you got admitted. He simply refused to leave your side. When you went in for surgery, he went home and fetched little Kim too. He hasn’t slept for two days, he’s such a devoted father.”
You looked down at the angelic little girl on your bed. “Little Min,” you said slowly. “She’s little Min.” The doctor didn’t say anything and chose to scribble your vitals down on the chart instead. She turned to leave, but you caught hold of her arm.
“He took care of Ha Neul? He had her the entire time?”
“Yes, Mrs. Kim. I need to jog your memory a bit, can you answer a few questions?”
“What? Yeah okay.”
“Let’s see. What’s in this picture?”
You stared at the flash card dumbly. Was she kidding?
“An umbrella.”
“Good. Can you spell that for me?”
The curiousness got the better of you.
“Why are you asking all this?”
She gazed at you, turning to look at the frosted glass windows. Taehyung’s mop of long hair was barely discernible, he seemed to be talking to another doctor.
“Mrs. Kim, there were complications during the surgery. You have a risk of developing seizures. We are closely monitoring you.”
You had no suitable reply. It was too much to digest.
“Now, Mrs. Kim, can you spell ‘Umbrella’ for me?”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
Previously, 3 hours after the accident
“Mr. Kim?”
Taehyung leaped out of the sofa, rushing to the surgeon.  Wo Bin followed him with equal haste. The surgeon was in his scrubs, he had come out to give an update.
“Mr. Kim, I understand this is a very tough time for you-“
Taehyung was shaking all over. He had been unable to breath properly ever since he you had been wheeled into the OR. God, the blood. His precious little bird all cut up, bleeding and bruised.
“Is she- is she-“ he couldn’t form the words, too scared to ask.
“She’s still in surgery, but she’s stable for now Mr. Kim. That’s why I came out. I need to let you know that there was an unexpected complication…”
“What? What happened?”
Taehyung plunged forward urgently, and Wo Bin had to use his full strength to keep his boss from pouncing on the reedy doctor.
“There’s seizure activity in her brain, which might exacerbate post-surgery-“ the doctor said, his eyes round and wary.
“Treat it then,” Taehyung hollered in his deepest growl. “Isn’t that what you do for a living?”
The man in scrubs seemed to grow perplexed.
“You see Mr. Kim, we might have to remove a portion of her temporal lobe to treat it.” He paused awkwardly. “It might lead to significant memory loss. Statistically speaking, around 70% of the patients…”
“No.”
Taehyung cut the doctor midsentence. “No. I won’t consent to it.”
“But Mr. Kim, it is…”
There was a deep sigh. One that Wo Bin was accustomed to fear. He glanced at his boss in alarm.
“I. Said. No.”
The doctor made as if to open his mouth to protest, but Wo Bin shook his head at him. Taehyung fell silent and Wo Bin took charge.
“You will not perform that procedure on Mrs. Kim,” he said, folding his arms. “Isn’t there any other method you could try?”
The doctor explained that the risk of seizures would be dramatically reduced, and that the patient’s quality of life would be so much better if her husband consented to the suggested surgery.
“I will take care of her if she seizes,” Taehyung said sullenly. He was looking down at his shoes, refusing to look at the doctor. “She’s my wife. I will tend to her.”
The surgeon talked to Wo Bin for a couple more minutes and went back into the OR. After the door closed behind him, Wo Bin rounded on his boss, unusually angry.
“Why did you refuse to consent, boss? Don’t you understand? She’ll forget stuff! She might forget Min entirely. Why would you pass up on a chance like that, sir?”
Taehyung collapsed onto the sofa, putting his head in his hands.
“I can’t do that Wo Bin-ah.”
Wo Bin looked down at the bent man in confusion.
“Why not? It’s a second chance. I don’t get it-“
Taehyung had gone completely silent. There were faint sounds of sniffing. When he lifted his head to look up at his aide, tears were ready to spill down his cheeks.
“Don’t you see? She’ll forget Min. She’ll lose whatever little memories she has of him. I can’t do that to her. I have already taken too much from her. I can’t rob her of her memories too.”
He paused to take another sniff. “I don’t want her to be a clean slate. Because her memories and battles make up the woman I love today. I just want her to forget him and learn to love me.”
Wo Bin knew he had crossed the line even before the words left his lips.
“With all due respect, sir, this might be the worst mistake of your life.”
Taehyung stared at him with a defeated smile.
“Then I shall live to regret it.”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
You seized only twice after the surgery, and Taehyung was there both times. He had made you lie on your side and had held you until they passed.
When you were discharged, he brought home flash cards to keep working your brain. He was ruthless and adamant, and just wouldn’t leave you alone until you finished all the cards successfully.
It was raining one night, and he had been in a particularly long meeting with his mafia men. He kept screaming at Wo Bin to drive faster, he knew you would have skipped dinner and tucked yourself into bed. He never worried about Ha Neul. That tyke was well cared for anyway. It was you who kept him worried.
“Y/N?” He shrugged his coat off, not bothering to hang it on the rack. “Y/N?”
He was right. You were curled in a ball, pretending to be fast asleep so he wouldn’t bother you.
The bed dipped, and his warm breath tickled your skin. He simply rested his head in the crook of your neck, supporting his entire weight on one arm so you wouldn’t be crushed.
“Baby,” he whined, unusually softly. “Come eat.”
You lay completely still, hoping he would leave you alone. But he just didn’t budge.
“Y/N,” he whined again, twisting a strand of your hair around his finger. “I know you’re awake.”
Sigh. Of course, he did. What monstrosity was he planning to put you through? Shrugging him off your body and hoping it hadn’t pissed him off, you got to your feet. There was no point in stalling.
He was mysteriously in a good mood though. Reaching out to entwine his fingers in yours, he dragged you to the living room.
“You ordered Pad Thai?” you asked incredulously.
“Mmm hmm,” he nodded before plopping down on the couch. He proceeded to mindlessly unbutton his shirt and remove his cufflinks. He knew you liked Pad Thai, he had been on his toes all through your pregnancy, running to fetch it for you from the best fast food places in the city.
The muffled jangling of the cufflinks as they dropped down onto the carpet brought a fresh wave of dread crawling over your skin. You stood gaping at him, unsure of what he was up to.
He raised his head and stared at you quizzically. Three buttons of his shirt were open, revealing his sculpted chest perfectly. Propping his legs up on the coffee table, he reached over for the remote.
“Well, aren’t you gonna sit down?”
“I- yes. “
You glanced at him from under your eyelashes. He looked relaxed, there was no indication of anything horrible about to happen.
He casually handed over a food box to you, patting the couch to indicate that you should sit closer to him. When you pretended to not understand, he simply scooted you over even closer.
“There,” he said, sighing happily. “Let’s watch this movie, shall we?”
As if you had a choice.
You had expected the movie to be a typical action flick, filled with stupid car chases and shooting sequences. It was a complete surprise when you found out that it was a romantic film. Taehyung had picked a romantic film? What kind of sorcery was that? You had been sure that he only had an iron padlock for a heart.
The empty food boxes and chopsticks were scattered all over the carpet, and your eyes flickered over to see his reactions when the scenes were particularly unhappy. His face was like a canvas, and a myriad of emotions flashed on it with each scene.
It was almost like the usual Taehyung had vanished and another person had taken his place. The man sitting with his arm over your shoulders, the one who was stealthily sniffing away a few tears, was in no way the man you knew.
It felt natural to Taehyung when he pulled your body snug against his, cuddling into your neck comfortably. He didn’t understand why you were trying to squirm. He wound his arm around your waist, butting his head against yours.
The heavenly scent of berries made him heady with happiness. How perfectly lovely it was, to be able to cuddle and watch a movie with you. Why hadn’t he thought of it sooner?
Taehyung was simmering away in euphoria, lost in his own happy world, while you were subtly squirming in his arms. The movie was going to end, what would happen next? Was he going to violate you? The seed of apprehension grew and grew with each passing moment.
“Y/N,” he whispered, his voice ever so soft. “What’s the matter? Need a bathroom break?”
His features showed confusion and apparent concern. At that moment, you wished he were his normal sneering self. This new side threatened you and kept you on edge. You knew how to tackle his mean and arrogant side. But you had no understanding or control over his new side. It was scaring you more than you had expected.
“No, I just-“ you couldn’t think of a coherent reply fast enough.
He cupped your face, bringing it closer to his. The final scene played on TV, with the leads kissing each other and then the credits started rolling. He smiled- but it was a very different smile. It wasn’t the leering one he flashed at you often. It was a genuine boxy smile, and it pulled the corners of his lips up naturally.
“Perfect timing,” he crooned, gently pressing a kiss on your lips. It felt extraordinary, and you didn’t know how to respond. An inner voice screamed in your head, shouting that he was going to violate you after all.
So, it was yet another surprise when he pulled away after the kiss, letting his fingers brush your hair into place.
“Let’s go to bed, hm? It’s late.”
He undressed and changed into his pajamas, completely oblivious to the mental rollercoaster you were experiencing. When he turned the lights off and climbed into bed, he stayed on his side of the bed without attempting to trespass into yours.
He patiently waited for your lids to close, and when he was sure that you were asleep, he whispered: “I love you.”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
Several weeks after, the traces of brain injury completely vanished, leaving you behind with nothing but a scar on your forehead. That would take a good amount of time to vanish, you knew.
You were fit enough to take care of Ha Neul on your own, but Taehyung insisted on keeping the nanny.
“You might seize out of the blue, so I’m not leaving you alone without someone.”
And that was it. He rarely let you argue. It wasn’t like he cut you off deliberately. It was just the tone of his voice that sounded finality before you could think of a retort.
Taehyung had to go and check on a deal in Berlin, but he hated being away from you. Sure, it was just a 3-day trip, but it was a full 72 hours of not seeing you or touching you. He was annoyed when your eyes brightened on hearing the news.
He stood and sulked as he watched you bustle around Ha Neul, trying to get her to stop spitting out her breakfast.
“Someone really is happy that I’m leaving, huh?”
You let your lips stretch in a semi-smile. You enjoyed the little moments when you could spite him and smugly smile without being reprimanded. He might punish you later, yes, but you would deal with that when it came.
Oh, how he wanted to slap that smirk off your face! But he couldn’t. No, he would spend the next three days immersed in guilt if he did. You wouldn’t be near for him to kiss and make up. He was at a loss to find a way to break you.
Shoving his hands into his pockets, he glared at Ha Neul, irritated that she was taking so much to time to swallow the damned food. Just like Min, getting in other people’s ways and eating their time.
“Be ready at 7 tonight. We’re going out for dinner.”
He turned to leave after announcing it, but your scoff stopped him.
“We? Who’s we?”
He shrugged. “You and me.”
The arch of your eyebrows wasn’t lost on him.
“Look, you can have all the time with your bastard for the next 3 days. Leave her with the nanny tonight.”
And there it was. That tone again. The tone that simply blocked out further arguments.
You had an ominous feeling that he was warming up to you being his wife, salty or otherwise. Movie and dinner? This wasn’t the Taehyung you knew. He surprised you occasionally with cheesy romantic shit, but he was usually hard and cold. He took what he wanted, claimed you if he needed to, bought you stuff that you threw out without even glancing at them, but he hadn’t ever tried to engage in romance.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
“Why the hell are you fiddling so much with that?”
Conjuring up your harshest scowl, you snapped back at him. “It’s fucking riding up my ass, that’s why.”
He bit his inner cheek to stifle a chuckle. You looked devilishly cute when you were angry.
“Just fucking let me dress myself, you bitch.”
He hummed, one hand on the steering wheel and the other reaching out to squeeze your thigh.
“Oh, come on, Y/N. We both know you’ll wear a dowdy sweatshirt and torn jeans if I let you dress yourself.”
You decided to emphasize your annoyance by going silent and staring out of the window. Taehyung always chose what you wore. Even at the mansion, when you went nowhere, you had to wear pretty dresses and skirts during the day. You had rebelled at first, but he had simply ripped a good number of tees and shorts that you eventually gave up and aligned to his will.
He had picked a luxurious wine-red dress, he had fallen in love with how beautifully it accentuated your body. It screamed elegance, and you carried it so well even though you swore like a sailor the entire time.
When the maître d’ left after seating you in Taehyung’s chosen table, you pursed your lips at the uncomfortable sensation again. Taehyung noticed it, and something snapped in him.
“Damnit Y/N, can you just wipe the scorn off your face for one fucking minute?” he hissed, his feathers thoroughly ruffled.
“You wear a thong that keeps riding up your butt then,” you sneered back.
Shocked surprise lit up his features, and he burst out laughing. He took your hand and patted it affectionately. His smile was innocent and sickly sweet when he murmured discreetly:
“I’ll rip it off as soon as I can, I promise.”
He talked and talked, telling you stuff he had heard from the elite circle. It was unusual of him to chatter and gossip away, but the change was so different. You ate in silence, listening to him and occasionally nodding your head.
You wished you could prolong the ride back somehow. He had dolled you up for a reason. And it was obvious what he was going to do.
Taehyung was losing patience, watching you slide the panna cotta all around the plate in a lame attempt to buy time.
“You do know I can bend you over this table right now, don’t you sugar?”
He bit his lower lip cockily, staring you down. When you didn’t answer, he simply stood up and reached your side, placing his hands on your hips.
“Don’t!” you whispered urgently, alarmed that he actually proceeded to pull you up to your feet in full view of the entire restaurant.
“Well, let’s go home then,” he crooned into your ear.
“All right, all right, you made your point.”
Taehyung grinned like an imp throughout the car ride back to the mansion, gleefully thinking of ripping off the offending thong. He hadn’t meant for you to be uncomfortable in it. But he wasn’t complaining because he now had a chance to right something for you. Even if it was so trivial as tearing off a thong.
He pounced on you like a starved animal as soon as the door closed. His lips were everywhere, licking and sucking marks into your skin.
“Ha Neul- I need to check on her-“ you moaned, unable to remain passive in the face of the sensual attack.
“No…” he groaned, fingers feverishly roaming on your skin, trying to breathe before he crumbled to dust. “She’s asleep… the nanny-“ he dropped a wet kiss on your collarbone before panting out “- texted me. She’s fine.”
His slender finger reached for the zipper, pulling it down in apparent haste. He loved the way the fabric pooled around your hips, leaving your chest open for him. You had worn a plain bra just to spite him. But to him, simple garment looked infinitely sexier than the choicest lace.
Tugging the dress down, he lifted you and practically threw you on the bed, discarding his coat and shoes urgently.
“Oh, God, Y/N!” he whined, flipping you over and watching the thong in fascination. “So pretty. So incredibly pretty, laid out just for me.”
His big veiny hands caught hold of your wrists, lending you helpless. His brain was short circuiting at the delicious sight before him. Engulfing your tiny wrists in one hand, he reached down to knead the soft flesh with the other. One finger slipped under the elastic band and pulled, snapping the flimsy fabric with ease.
“There, baby” he cooed, his hand cupping your ass. “It can’t disturb you anymore.”
You moaned something into the pillow, but the sound was too garbled to comprehend. Turning you over, he shifted his position, so he was hovering just inches over your body.
“Just let me take care of you,” he breathed, nudging his knee into the crook of your knees. “I’ll make you feel so good.”
You parted your lips to protest, but he drowned out the words with a searing kiss. His hand still had control over your wrists, and he slowly moved down to your navel.
His tongue drew hot lines down your belly, inching tantalizingly closer to your core. Using his free hand, he parted your legs, exposing your swollen core to his depraved eyes.
“Such a pretty cunt,” he said, licking his lips sinfully.
But when he bent down for a taste, you kneed him hard, making him hiss in pain.
“The fuck!” he yelled, clutching his precious nose. He tilted his head up, praying that it didn’t bleed. Goddamn, his wife really was a fighter.
“I don’t know why-“ he leaned over and rummaged through the drawers of his bedside table, “-you keep making this so hard.” He produced a shiny pair of handcuffs, dangling them before your nose. “Now look what you got yourself into.”
“No, I…” you tried to shake your wrists free, eyes wide in alarm.
“Shh, baby. Don’t make me tape your mouth too.”
It was not the rickety sex toy version either. The handcuffs looked like standard issue police ones. Taehyung grinned at your shocked face.
“These,” he ran a finger over the cold metal “-these are from a policeman I shot in a drug bust.” The metal cuffs turned and glinted at you.
“He cuffed me to him, silly bloke. As if someone could cuff me.” He threw his head back and laughed. “I shot his hand to pieces. Served him right. And this- I kept this as a souvenir.” He smiled affectionately, the faint clink of the chain sending shivers up your gut.
He was in a strange temper, and you weren’t sure about escaping unscathed if you rebelled. So, you remained still while he clicked the cuff onto your wrist, securing it to the bedpost. He winked at you, proceeding to take off his shirt while you lay motionless under him.
He now had both hands free to work on you, and he set about parting your legs for him. Smirking coyly, he dipped his head down, pressing his tongue flat against your sensitive bud.
You threw your free hand at him, pulling on his long hair, but his grip around your thighs tightened in response. He didn’t even flinch when you yanked at his thick locks, focusing on leaving kitten licks on your clit.
He groaned into your core, pressing his face harder against your silky folds. The sensation of his quick tongue darting all over you left your knees trembling like jelly. You had a hard time containing your moans, determined not to give him the satisfaction of hearing you moan.
But it spurred him on harder, and his licks became raunchier. He felt your core pulsate, and he knew you were close. Opening your legs wide, he attached his lips to your bud, starting to suckle on it sensually.
“Mm hmm, yes… Cum on my tongue, baby,” he encouraged, nibbling on the swollen hood ever so lightly. He held your thighs tightly, peppering your core with soft kisses as you climaxed and shook like a leaf.
He lapped at your sweet essence, helping you ride through your high. His mouth was wet and shining when he rose up to meet your eyes.
“So fucking sweet, Y/N,” he said, flicking his tongue out and smacking his lips brazenly.
You expected him to unzip his pants and get it over with. But he surprised you yet again. Simply crawling back up, he buried his nose into your chest, not minding the way your nails clawed at him.
He inhaled your scent like he couldn’t get enough of it. He so badly wanted to bury himself inside your velvety walls. He craved being united with you as one body. But no, he would wait.
He would go to Berlin first and then come back to claim you heartily. Maybe being away from him would soften your heart. He couldn’t imagine staying even one night away from you. Would you begin to feel the same way? After all, patient men did get the ripest fruit.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
Taehyung kept looking at his phone, not caring about the subtle looks thrown his way. His fingers kept drumming against the table, impatient and jittery. His index finger subconsciously went to the notification shade every two seconds, but there was just nothing there to see.
A new notification popped up just then, and his eyes lit up.
Wo Bin
9:28 am : Everything fine at mansion.
9:29 am: Se Jong becoming troublesome.
He swiped it away furiously. He couldn’t care less about some stupid banker acting up. He was sure Wo Bin could handle it. No, he was looking forward to something about you. Just a scrap of news about you. But Wo Bin had to go and text him some random shit like that. He sighed and turned back to the man who was talking.
“We need to be more vigilant; the police are sniffing us out somehow.”
Taehyung tried to focus, but his gaze fell on his phone again exactly three seconds later.
Two hours later, Taehyung was about to push the door and leave when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
“Kim?”
It was Andrei. He was one of Taehyung’s acquaintances in Berlin.
“Yeah.”
Andrei dropped his voice low. “Care to join me for a drink?”
The bar was weirdly empty, there weren’t a lot of people hanging around. Well, that happened when mafia lords booked the hotel by the dozen. They were a careful bunch; they always played their cards close to their chests. Outsiders were never trusted when one of their meetings was underway.
Andrei toyed with his shot glass, slurring his words slightly.
“So Kim Taehyung is a married man now, huh?” he asked, chuckling slightly.
Taehyung nodded, sipping his drink. A small part of his mind wondered if he should check his phone.
“How did you ever settle down?”
Andrei looked genuinely curious. He only knew of Taehyung’s philandering side. He had been surprised on learning about the wedding.
“She’s-“ Taehyung racked his brain for words “- exquisite. I just knew. That she was the one for me.”
Andrei raised his glass in agreement. “Good for you, man.” He considered for a moment, gazing at Taehyung before parting his lips again.
“If you want, I can send Victoria to keep you company. You know, tonight.”
The Taehyung of older days would have jumped at the suggestion, launching into an interested inquiry of what the woman could offer. But now, he only shook his head, gripping his glass tight.
“No, Andrei. I’m married.”
The man smiled slyly. “You absolutely sure? She’s damn hot.”
“I’m sure. I’m a changed man, Andrei.”
Andrei nodded, looking at Taehyung thoughtfully. “I can see that.”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
Yoongi was humming to himself, hammering away at his laptop. He usually didn’t carry his work home. But this one was important. He had to finish drafting the presentation he was going to make the next morning.
“Busy much?”
You were leaning against the doorframe, playing with the sash of your dressing gown.
He looked up and crinkled his nose cutely.
“Just a couple more hours, baby girl.”
Clicking your tongue in disapproval, you loosened the sash and let your dressing gown drop down your shoulders to the floor.
“Can’t wait that long,” you crooned, giving him your sexiest drawl. “Need you inside me. Now.”
His fingers stopped typing, and a slow smirk dawned on his lips. He was so damn handsome when he smirked like that.
He kept his eyes focused on the screen, uttering the words in a blunt tone: “Come and take what you want then.”
Giggling in excitement, you rushed over to him, throwing your legs over his lap to straddle him. He smelt so good, just like he always did. You knew his scent by heart. It was the faintest note of cologne, fresh and pleasant like morning dew. He could come back dripping with sweat after gym, but he would still smell heavenly. It was just- so Yoongi of him.
“You’re blocking my view, Mrs. Min,” he said, not caring to look at your eager face.
“Oh, I’ll be out of it in a second, Mr. Min,” you replied, licking the shell of his ear.
The smug devil didn’t bat an eyelid, concentrating on typing whatever was clearly more important than his hot wife eating his earlobes. You decided to accelerate things further.
Grinding against his crotch, you hooked your chin on his shoulder to keep out of his way. You could feel him stirring in his pants, and soon enough he was hard as nails. Allowing yourself a proud smile, you nibbled on his shoulder blade, making him moan despite his best efforts.
You were satisfied at his response. Besides, you were aching for him already. You got off his lap, sinking down to your knees. He still wasn’t looking at you. Well, he would soon.
Instead of taking him out, you chose to palm him through his night pants. The tent in his pants left your mouth watering in anticipation. You looked up; he was still typing. Time for drastic measures.
Leaning forward, you pressed your mouth against the hard muscle, the thin fabric dampening up with your saliva. The friction of the cloth was too much to bear, and he moaned out loud.
“Fuck, Y/N!”
He shut the laptop down with a snap, to hell with the presentation. Grabbing you by your hair, he pulled you in level with his crotch. You stared back at him, tracing your lips with your tongue. Damn you. Want flooded his veins, sending a searing sensation shooting through his length.
“Up,” he said, snapping his fingers at you.
You loved it when he was horny and pissed. It made for a deliciously passionate Yoongi. Hastening to stand up, you looked at him expectantly. He motioned towards his pants, his dominant streak glinting dangerously in his eyes.
“Get my dick out.” He bit his lip before adding: “And lose your bra.”
Without a word, you peeled his pants off, shaking in excitement. His thighs were strong and muscular, just as perfect as the rest of him. He waited until you freed your breasts and patted his lap.
“On my thigh, slut.”
You pouted in disappointment. He noticed that and laughed impishly.
“What? You don’t get to sit on my cock until I say so.” He narrowed his eyes at you, loving the lust shining raw on your features. “Serves you right for teasing me.”
“But Yoongiiiiiii….” you drawled, only to be silenced with a piercing glare.
“Ride my thigh, come on,” he said. “Let me see those tits bounce.”
Fuck, he was making you so wet. Climbing into his lap again, you grabbed his shoulder and steadied yourself. He hadn’t told you to get out of your undies yet. You knew the friction was going to make you go wild.
“Go on,” he said, settling back lazily against the headrest of his chair. You slowly started moving, gripping his shoulders tight. He didn’t make any move to touch or hold you. He simply watched your face in fascination, observing every fleeting emotion with pride.
You were inching closer to your orgasm, and he stilled your hips with a steel grip. Your protesting mewls were music to his ears. A long bony finger pushed your soaked undies away, and his firm hands pulled your hips onto his hard cock.
He slammed his hips up, and started thrusting into you in a punishing rhythm, eliciting fierce curses and strangled moans from deep inside your chest.
“Damn, that’s it baby, bounce on my cock,” he praised, growling in primal want.
You could have sworn you saw the bushes outside the window move. But when you looked down to tell Yoongi, the feral lust swimming in his eyes washed every thought off your mind. He really was fucking your brains out.
“What is it, baby girl?”
Your mind was in complete shambles, and you knew he loved it. Especially when you struggled for words while he had you impaled on his cock.
“I- spank me…”
He grinned, landing a soft slap on your butt cheek. “Use your words and ask me nicely.”
“Oh, damn you Yoongi,” you whined, throwing your head back and exposing your neck. “Spank me, please.”
“Now, that’s a good girl.”
Min Yoongi had the smallest and most delicate of hands. But that didn’t mean his slaps were any less harsh. He could give you a mean spank, leaving hot red prints all over your ass if he liked. And right now, he chose to use that to his full advantage.
He lifted his hand, licking his lips and preparing to rain a volley of slaps on your butt. Closing your eyes, you rutted against him, waiting to feel the first sting.
“Y/N!”
When you opened your eyes, Yoongi was staring at you blankly. His eyes were shining with unshed tears.
You cupped his cheeks, puzzled. “What’s it, honey?”
A set of big hands snaked around your waist. You looked at Yoongi in confusion.
“What-“ you started to say, and froze in horror as Yoongi’s face slowly faded away, wiping all your happiness away with it. Everything went suddenly dark, and an unbearable coldness settled in, smothering you.
“No!” You thrashed about violently, desperate to see Yoongi, desperate to touch him again.
“Shh, Y/N, it’s fine.” The voice hummed in your ear, pulling you towards something warm.
You opened your eyes and gazed directly into Kim Taehyung’s radiant eyes.
“It’s okay baby, I’m back.”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
Dawn was beginning to break, and Taehyung was severely jetlagged. He assumed you would go right back to sleep. But you remained wide awake, silent tears streaming down your cheeks.
His heart felt all mushy and happy. Had you missed him? Were you crying because your feelings were overwhelmed? Maybe you had felt relieved that he had woken you up from your nightmare in time.
“Bad dream, darling?” he asked, carding his fingers through your hair.
He wouldn’t leave you alone anymore, he would always be there to chase away your nightmares. He resolved to himself that he would protect you from anything, even your own mind.
You lay still, not bothering to respond.
The semi-darkness lent your face a mysterious look, and Taehyung wasn’t sure if the gleam in your eyes was anger or joy.
His unusual softness assured him that it was joy. He told himself that it would be confusing at first and you needed time to warm up to the idea of loving him.
Birds started chirping outside, sunrise was very near. He traced your cheek with his thumb, wanting to kiss you. When he pulled you closer, there was no resistance. Cheering up considerably, he brushed his lips against yours.
When you didn’t flinch, he deepened the kiss, softly moaning into your mouth. The smoldering hunger stirred deep in his belly, consuming him completely. He climbed on top of you ever so lightly, kissing your neck and leaving wet splotches all over your chest.
He had waited for so long, and the tension had built up into a crescendo. He was panting when he fished himself out of his trousers, one hand fiddling with your shorts. He shimmied down the fabric, clawing at it in haste.
The first rays of sunlight broke the darkness, lighting up the room with a rosy hue. He whimpered when the head of his member made contact with your entrance.
“I’m home,” he said, pushing himself inside in one long shove. He slowly started to rock his hips, he wanted to be slow and sensual for a change.
You closed your eyes, and everything came flooding back. It was like your lips had a mind of their own. Before you knew, you had moaned it out loud.
“Yoongi…”
Taehyung’s hips stilled, his hard member still buried inside you. It hurt him like a violent slap. Slipping out of your core, he could hardly contain his angry tears while he dressed himself back up. You had moaned… for Yoongi?
He wanted to leave without saying anything. But he stopped just near the door.
“Tell me just one thing- whenever we… had sex, did you….”
Your vacant eyes chilled his blood. You mumbled silently, almost like you were talking to yourself.
“I Imagined Yoongi…”
He stormed out of the room, rushing to the guest bedroom to unleash the sobs bubbling up his throat. Taehyung never knew that he could hate you. It surprised and upset him to know how much he despised you for insulting him like that. It left a bitter aftertaste in his tongue.
When Taehyung finally stopped sniffing, he made up his mind. You weren’t changing. He would be fighting a dead man for the rest of his life. If you couldn’t warm up to his romance, it was fine. He would just return to being a mean bastard you rebelled against. Being feared was better than being insulted and trampled upon.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
Taehyung’s behavior went from romantic to mean and waxed meaner over the course of days. He ignored your presence completely, choosing to leave home at dawn and return at midnight just to avoid seeing you.
He broke things in sudden fits of temper, and every morning you woke up to more and more smashed vases and glass. You kept Ha Neul well out of his way, there was no telling what he might do if he got his hands on her.
Taehyung, on the other hand, was torn between his all-consuming obsession over you and the new-found disgust he had for you. It scared him when he realized how much it was affecting his mind. He had to choose a way to saddle his dark feelings and rein them in. Because, after all, you were his Y/N. His precious Y/N he would do anything for.
Almost a month after he returned from Berlin, almost a month after avoiding you like the plague, Kim Taehyung decided that enough was enough.
He returned home in the evening, slamming the door unnecessarily loud. That was a signal these days to announce his arrival and departure.
“Y/N!” The slight bitterness in his voice surprised him.
Ha Neul’s giggle sounded from somewhere deep in the nursery, and he followed the sound until he was standing before you.
You were kneeling on the floor, clutching onto your daughter fearfully. You didn’t care if he hurt you. Hell, you would even karate chop him right back. But you were nervous when he was around your child.
He glared at the toddler, throwing his most hostile look her way.
“Bedroom, now.”
You dragged yourself to the bedroom after handing Ha Neul over to the nanny. You had no clue what he was going to do to you. He had been like a zombie for the past month, slinking away into the shadows and disappearing all day. What was in store for you in the bedroom?
Taehyung was sitting on the edge of the bed, waiting for you. When you entered the room, he manspread his legs and snapped his fingers.
“On your knees,” he tapped on the floor with his shoe, “here.”
You hesitated, and his eyebrows knotted dangerously.
“Don’t make me repeat myself.”
Swallowing your pride, you knelt before his spread legs, his crotch in full display right before your eyes.
He bunched your hair in his fist, pulling you towards him. He rubbed your face against his clothed crotch a little harsher than he had planned to.
“This cock-“ he said, pressing your face against him, “this cock is the only one you’ll get in this lifetime. Better get used to it.”
Yanking your hair, he tilted your head, so your eyes were staring into his.
“If you say his name again, I’ll break your daughter’s neck.”
He was pulling hard on your hair, and the roots were beginning to sting.
“Am I clear, bitch?”
You silently nodded, not trusting your voice enough. He let go of your hair with a mean tug, and you wobbled on your knees.
“Open your mouth.”
You were late in complying, earning a hard slap in reward. Your cheek felt burning hot. He ground his teeth and slapped the other cheek, releasing all the pent-up anger boiling in his chest. Grabbing you like a ragdoll, he gripped your jaw tight and puckered your lips open.
“You don’t deserve my cock,” he spat out, forcing two slender fingers into your mouth. “This is all you get until you earn it.”
He pumped the fingers in and out, setting a harsh rhythm. His fingers were long and slender, and it was a feat to accommodate them all the way up to the knuckles. He added a third finger, not slowing one bit when you whimpered in protest.
“Shut up and take it,” he growled, driving them deeper and deeper until you gagged and coughed around the digits.
He waited until you regained your breath. Then he removed his fingers, scooping up the drool running down your chin. He then dragged his fingers on your cheeks, painting them in drool.
Grabbing you by the neck, he leaned over to breathe in your face:
“You can hate me all you want, but I’m never letting you go. Imagine him all you want, but the dick fucking into you will always be mine.”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
The days rolled by quickly, and before you knew it, Ha Neul had turned 2 years old. She had started running and jumping, and she followed Taehyung around whenever he dressed up for work, hoping for a ride in his car.
It was a sunny April morning. You had asked your chauffeur to take you and Ha Neul shopping. She had to get vaccinated, and you had to pick some stuff from the store on the way back. The car was ready, and a guard quietly gave you the message.
Knocking on the bathroom door, you shouted to Taehyung.
“I need your credit card. I’m going out.”
The sound of the running shower immediately stopped. The door opened, and he leaned on the frame, his whole body on display.
“And where exactly is my baby girl going?”
Trying to forget the way his cock stood half-erect, you mumbled out: “Ha Neul’s vaccination.”
Taehyung didn’t let you have money of your own. He wanted you to be dependent on him. That way, you would always stay with him.
He had never forgiven you for moaning Yoongi’s name that one time. Whenever you wanted something, he made it a point to make you beg him. Usually, he made you suck him off, or ride him, just to go to the store or to grab cake for Ha Neul.
You weren’t allowed to ask the guards to get stuff for Ha Neul. They would simply nod their heads but not comply. Because they served Taehyung. And his orders took priority over yours.
“Just give me the card,” you huffed, annoyed at him.
He shook his hair like a puppy, sending water droplets flying all around, some landing on your face and clothes.
You took a step back, patting at the random drops spraying on you. “Ew. Cut it out, Taehyung.”
He grinned, grabbing you and grinding himself against you, wetting your clothes slightly. He was stark naked, in full contrast to your fully clothed body.
“Where’s the brat?” his tone was casual.
You bit back a curse word. “She has a name. Min Ha Neul is in the nursery.”
The annoyance on his face satisfied you to no end. “Why do you insist on calling her that every time?”
“Calling her what? Min Ha Neul? That’s her name.” You weren’t backing down in the slightest.
He leaned down to nip at your jaw. “Hmm. Very well, Y/N Kim.”
It was your turn to snap at him. “Stop calling me that.”
He smiled into your skin. Riling you up was so much fun.
“That’s your name, baby. To get the credit card, come soap me up and wash me.”
“Forget it, bitch,” you sneered, shaking him off.
“Not so fast, honey. Don’t you want her to get vaccinated?”
He thought you looked absolutely beautiful when you were angry. Oh, how he wanted to slam you against the door and fuck you into oblivion!
Not sparing a glance at him, you peeled your clothes off, stripping down to your underwear. He grinned.
“Might as well remove them, no?”
You wanted to slap the smile off his face.
“Fucking get back in the shower, Taehyung.”
He felt a sizzling electric jolt down his spine when you soaped him, lathering up and spreading the foam all over his chest. He was choking on his breath when he whined “My cock, ah Y/N, grab my cock.”
He shivered at the feeling of your warm hands slipping around his length. The feeling was delicious, making him roll his closed eyes under his lids. He enjoyed your little fingers caressing his skin, and when you knelt to soap his legs, he went wild.
The shower washed off the lather, leaving him sparkling clean. Before you had a chance to get up, he dug his hard dick into your face. Your head was caught between the wall and his strong thighs, and you were left with no other choice.
“Shit, suck me, go on, suck me with that hot little mouth.”
He slapped his dick against your cheek, ruining the makeup and leaving a mixture of water and pre-cum glistening on your skin.
“Go on, baby, I’m oh so clean. Suck my cock.”
He popped your mouth open, sliding himself in and hissing at the sensation.
“Like my cock, baby? Nibble along the shaft, yes,” he panted, looking down at you, face contorting in pleasure. “Like having my fat cock inside your mouth?”
You replied something, probably a curse, but it came out muffled around his cock. The vibration made him lose himself, thrusting deeper and deeper against your throat.
“Ah, swallow me, yes, fucking swallow my dick, Y/N.”
He bottomed out against your mouth, the prickly hair on his balls making the tip of your nose itch. His fingers felt around your throat, trying to feel himself through the skin of your neck.
“Swallow, baby,” he cooed, and you gagged a little, trying to swallow around him. His fingers felt the bulge in your throat, and his dick pulsed at the heady sensation, making him cum hard into your mouth. You almost choked on the cum, your throat feeling raw and sore.
He picked you up on your feet, muttering praises and kissing whichever part of skin he could find. Wiping your mouth, you stared at the floor and asked, “Can I get the card now?”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
“Baby,” he called, calling your attention to him as you tried to sneak past the living room. “Forgot something?”
You took a deep breath, giving up. There was no point in sneaking around him. The guy seemed to smell your presence.
“I’m going to tuck Ha Neul in,” you replied, not quite looking at him. “She fell asleep on the way back.”
He turned his gaze from his laptop, nodding absently. “Come back in five. And don’t forget.”
You went away, preoccupied with thinking of the man who had followed you around in the store. He had worn a mask, covering his lower face, and had been hot on your tail until you had reached your car. He had looked like he had something to say to you. But as soon as he had laid eyes on the car, he had disappeared. Who could it have been? You had no idea.
When you returned after getting your daughter to bed, he was waiting for you. He extended his hand, and you slipped the papers into it.
Taehyung always wanted the complete receipts and details of what you had bought, where you had gone and whom you had met whenever you went out. It was mostly to make sure you weren’t planning an escape or meeting some other guy.
His quickly scanned through the receipts, suddenly pausing, and looking at you ominously.
“Tampons, honey?”
His tone was controlled, but chilling, nonetheless. You had deliberately bought a lot of useless items to cover the fucking tampons.
“Yes. What about them?”
He sighed, skimming through the rest of the items on the bill.
“Y/N, it’s been two years.” He sighed again. “You know we want a baby.”
You recoiled, you had suspected he would say that, but to hear that out loud terrified you.
“Well, I don’t.”
He didn’t answer. He knew you would of course reject him. But it had already been two fucking years. He had tolerated that little tyke Min had sired just because he loved you. But however much he thought about it, he couldn’t shake off the feeling that Ha Neul was more important to you.
He had sent Almond away; the dog was under Wo Bin’s care. But he couldn’t separate Ha Neul from you. He burned with jealousy whenever you kissed her or ruffled her hair. The dratted child had inherited her father’s gummy smile, much to Taehyung’s annoyance.
He wanted to feel closer to you, he needed to make you love him. Seeing you showering your love on the fruit of another man’s seed was humiliating to say the very least. He would give you a child, making you tend to his baby, effectively pulling you closer to him.
He wasn’t sure he liked babies. He hated smelly diapers and wet beds. But he would have to bear those if he wanted you to carry his child.
“Y/N, it’s time we started a family. You know it.”
You felt like screaming and breaking things.
“What part of ‘I hate you’ do you not get?”
He stood up, asserting his dominance by rising to his full height.
“I let you have that bastard’s child, I let her eat and sleep under my roof, I let her fucking have her damned surname,” he said, inching closer and closer, “And this is how you repay me?”
You perked up your chest, standing upright and biting the words out: “I don’t owe you anything. You ruined my life.”
He scoffed, a spray of spit landing on your face. “Don’t you dare talk back to me. You’ll only make things worse for you.”
“Oh? And how, exactly?”
He flushed in anger, looking out the window. It had started drizzling. Making up his mind, he stormed out of the room. You weren’t sure if you should follow. A few seconds later, you heard your daughter wail.
“Ha Neul?” You rushed to the nursery but stopped midway when you saw Taehyung carrying her down the stairs.
“Wait, what are you doing?” you screamed, following him in hot pursuit. He was quicker than you, and just as your feet touched the landing, he slammed the door on your daughter, letting her stand outside in the rain.
“What the hell, Taehyung? Open the door!”
You saw him turn the key in the lock, and he grinned sneakily as he dropped the key into his pants. Throwing yourself at him and pummeling at his chest, you sobbed at him to open the door.
“Please,” you begged, seeing through the window that the rain had started falling in torrents. “Please let her in.”
“I think not,” he said, crossing his arms and leaning his back against the door.
“What do you want? Please, anything…”
He cocked his eyebrows.
“Anything?” When you nodded, he thrust his hips out, still leaning. “Fish the key out of my pants.”
You dropped to your knees in haste, unzipping him and searching for the key. Your fingers brushed against hot muscle instead, and he lazily drawled above you:
“Kiss the tip and tell me you love me.”
Furious tears pricked your eyes, and you swallowed the bitter taste at the back of your throat. Taking his dick out, you kissed the angry red tip, muttering a weak “I love you.”
“Say, I love you Taehyungie.”
You couldn’t wait to grab your cold wet child shivering outside. Kissing the tip again, you looked up at him and bit the words out.
“I love you, Taehyungie.”
He grinned and let you take the key. He was already uncomfortable by sensation of the cold metal rubbing against his hot dick.
You hit him across the jaw, punching with all your might. He responded by shifting his position to let you put the key in the lock.
Before you turned it though, he grabbed you by the hips, his fingers searching under your dress for the crotch of your undies. Ripping it easily, he slammed himself inside you. You turned the lock. But you couldn’t open the door, not with him buried inside you.
“Let me get her first,” you whimpered, struggling to get away.
“Take me, baby,” he said, pushing himself deeper. “Make me cum and you can get her.”
Blowing out your cheeks, you clenched your pelvic muscle tight around him, repeating it mindlessly until he was a gasping mess.
“Oh, oh yes,” he whined, driving harder and harder, finally cumming hard. He slid himself out, letting go of your hips.
“Go get her. She’ll catch a cold, sweetie.”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
“Mrs. Kim?”
The voice of your chauffeur cut through your thoughts, catching your attention.
“Your pills, ma’am.”
“Thank you, Seung Jo,” you breathed. Taehyung never would know how you got your birth control pills. You were so grateful that Seung Jo was loyal to you. You had no idea why, but he was very friendly, he seemed to understand that you were living the life of a caged bird.
He had been smuggling you the pills for a long time, and no one had ever found out. Taehyung had been vocal about you not getting pregnant however much he tried. He didn’t let you get up after sex, rather he made you lie down and tuck your legs. He carefully calculated your ovulation dates. But nothing came of his efforts. Except monthly bills that included tampons, of course.
“Seung Jo, can you do me a favor?”
He looked at your image in the rearview mirror. “Anything, ma’am.”
“I- can you check on Mrs. Min at the Klammer Institute on my behalf?”
He nodded silently. “Anything else, ma’am?”
You looked down at your shoes, chewing out the question. “Why are you not more like Taehyung’s men? What makes you keep secrets for me?”
He smiled and shrugged lightly. “I like you.”
The signal turned green and you lurched forward a bit. “Excuse me?”
He repeated patiently. “I said, I like you.”
“Are you aware that Taehyung would blow your brains out if he heard about this?”
Seung Jo glided the car to a stop. “You hadn’t any idea that I liked you all this time?”
You fell silent. There was no way to know if he was being serious. Maybe it was a trap Taehyung had set. You had to be cautious.
“Well, Mrs. Kim? Tongue-tied?”
“Get the car moving, Seung Jo,” was the only thing you could reply.
Just before the car nosed into the mansion, he whispered in a low voice:
“I think I love you.”
You stared at his reflection, dumbfound. He continued.
“I’ve known you for more than two years, do you think I can’t see how unhappy you are?”
“Seung Jo,” you said, warningly.
“Just think about it,” he said, turning the ignition off. He got out of the car and held the door open for you, meeting your eyes for a brief moment, the look laden with meaning.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
“Mommy?” Ha Neul called, her cute lips curving around the words. She was very smart, and had started talking in long meaningful sentences.
“Yes, honey?”
She tugged at her pigtails, forming the sentence in her head.
“Why- my name is Min? Father’s name and yours are Kim?” The lilt of the second question suggested innocent curiosity.
Taehyung lowered the newspaper, glaring at the back of her head. You smiled, gathering her up and sitting her down on your lap.
“Because, sweetie, mommy was married to Min Yoongi, your daddy.”
Her sweet voice took on a confused tone. “What happened to daddy?”
You sent a scorching glare to Taehyung before replying, “He died, baby. A bad man killed him.”
Taehyung threw his paper down. “Is this necessary? Should she know the details?”
“She deserves to know the truth,” you snapped.
The child looked at you, not understanding the banter. “Bad man?”
You nodded sadly. She asked again, crooning: “Daddy was a good man?”
A smile dawned on your lips, and you replied earnestly, “He was the best man in the world, sweetheart.”
She went silent, her little brain working to grasp the information. Taehyung’s eyes shot daggers at you, which you steadily ignored.
“Mommy,” she said again, “Can I call father daddy?”
You looked up at the man in question. His face registered surprise. He hadn’t quite expected that.
He cleared his throat and replied gruffly, “You can call me that, Ha Neul.”
The brightness of her gummy smile melted your heart. God, she was just like Yoongi. So adorable.
“Daddy,” she said, feeling the word rolling off her tongue. She ran towards Taehyung, innocently clinging to his forearm.
“Daddy, when can I go to school?”
Taehyung’s eyebrows shot up. He addressed you, asking, “Didn’t we decide to homeschool her?”
Ha Neul spoke up for herself, waving her hands. “Daddy, Mr. Soh says school is wonderful! Pencils, paper, desks,” she started counting them off on her little fingers.
“Alright, honey,” you said, attempting to steer the conversation towards calmer topics. “Daddy and mommy will think about it.”
Mr. Soh was Ha Neul’s homeschool teacher, he came by thrice a week. He had probably planted the idea of school in her mind.
After Ha Neul got bored and ran off to play ball, Taehyung hissed at you angrily.
“I’m not letting you or her out of this house.”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
The sound of the waves crashing filled your ears, salt heavy in the air and reminding you of the terrible day you had spent dangling on a suspension bridge.
“Mrs. Kim?” You turned. “Thanks for meeting me.”
You were silent, the blank look on your face replaced with shock when he removed the mask and took off his shades.
“Bong Ju?” you gasped, a wave of fear jolting your heart. “What do you want?”
He took a hesitant step forward; palms open to show he meant no harm.
“I have to give you something, I tried hard to meet you, but it was almost impossible.”
You watched in fear as he dipped his hand inside his coat pocket, your breath relaxing when he pulled out a sealed envelope.
“I’m sorry for a lot of things, Mrs. Kim, I have betrayed you so much. But this,” he extended the envelope to you, “this belongs to you.”
“What is it?” you whispered, scared to touch it.
“Mr. Min, he gave it to me for safekeeping. He-“ the man gulped, “-he wanted you to have it in case he was gone before you.”
You shook your head in disbelief.
“Why did you wait so long then? You fucking betrayed him and me. Why should I believe you?”
He nodded, guilt weighing his features down.
“I had to do it, Mrs. K- Mrs. Min, I was blackmailed to do it. Kim Taehyung threatened to kill my sister and her family if I didn’t help him.”
Tears streamed down his face. “I took the money and fled, but my sister- she died in a plane crash. Her whole family.” A loud sob interrupted his flow. “I think it’s karma, I deserved it for betraying you. I am really very sorry, Mrs. Min.”
“But you- you were the prime witness…”
“Witness? What witness? What are you talking about?”
You shrank back in alarm.
“You don’t know about the inquest? Weren’t you the state’s prime witness?”
He tilted his head in confusion. “I don’t understand. An inquest, you say?”
Cold dread filled the crevices of your heart, rising up steadily, threatening to crush your ribs.
“But- I thought… How did you know where I was?”
His features were still confused when he answered:
“Kang Minsook, a lawyer called me a few weeks ago.”
Your mouth widened. “Where were you three years ago? How do you know Minsook?”
He shrugged, wide eyed.
“I fled to the Bahamas after you ran to rescue Mr. Min. I didn’t know he was dead until Mr. Kang called recently. I flew back and saw you had married Taehyung. I thought you didn’t require to read the letter, but…” his voice trailed off. “…But I asked around and heard a lot about what had happened. Mr. Min made me swear I would deliver it to you.”
“Didn’t Minsook tell you about the case?”
“I don’t know of any case. He only asked if I used to work for Mr. Min and whether I knew he was dead.”
The whole earth stopped spinning. There had been no prime witness! Bong Ju hadn’t even known about the case. Minsook hadn’t discovered about Bong Ju at all. You swallowed the truth. It dawned on you that Minsook never mentioned a witness in court, only Taehyung and your attorney had hinted that Bong Ju was the prosecution’s witness. Taehyung had well and truly played you.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
Fragments of Yoongi’s letter kept returning to haunt you. It had been five pages long. You knew he had poured his heart into it, there was such emotion in the words. According to the date, it had been written on the day of your first wedding anniversary.
His words filled the deep void left by his sudden departure, at least to a certain extent. The papers had creases in them, caused by your repeated folding and unfolding over the course of weeks. You kept re-reading it whenever you had the chance, just to hold on to the ghost of his memory a little longer. Dear, wonderful, passionate, loving Yoongi.
“Y/N?” the arms gently shook your shoulders, breaking the spell.
“Huh?”
“I said, I love you.” He leaned into you, his concerned look searching your face. “You okay?”
“I-“  You looked at Seung Jo’s chocolate brown eyes. “I don’t know.”
He let go of you, leaning against the car. “What do you mean?”
“Seung Jo.” You took a whiff of the salty air. “I have a 3-year-old daughter. My husband is a businessman with roots in the mafia. He would kill us if he knew.”
He scoffed, taking your hand, and pressing it lightly.
“Y/N, remember, I love you and your daughter. I am not afraid of Taehyung. I can make you happy. Just say yes and I’ll take you away.”
It did sound alluring. But you didn’t love him back. He seemed sweet and genuine, but that was it. You looked at the brown wisps of hair dancing on his forehead. He was young, the honey toned skin was taut over his prominent veins. He was cute, yes. Did you love him? No.
Yoongi’s letter fluttered back to your mind.
I have kept aside 5 million dollars for us, Y/N. We can use it for our baby, we can add to it every year. I will be so proud on the day our baby is born. I am sure our firstborn would be a girl, just as beautiful and wonderful as her mom. I can’t wait to see you glowing with our child, I can’t wait to hold her tiny fingers in mine.
You stifled a sob. The pain was still fresh. You would never believe that three years had gone already. His letter ended with a note, saying that if he ever died, you were supposed to use the money in case it wasn’t withdrawn already. He had written that he would add a million dollars for every anniversary he celebrated with you. The account details had been written in his neat handwriting.
If I go before you, Y/N, even if I’m 60 and you’re 59, if we haven’t already used up the money, take it. Live happily. I want only the best for you, my love.
It made you guilty that you were even thinking of eloping with Seung Jo. You didn’t love him. But he was your entry pass to the outside world. Maybe, just maybe, after you got out of Taehyung’s clutches, you could explain it all to Seung Jo and part ways. But you knew you needed Seung Jo’s help to get out. You wouldn’t tell him about Yoongi’s secret trust fund, you weren’t sure about revealing that.
Your resolve crumbled, and you caved, asking for more time. He drove you back home, dropping you off dutifully.
When you entered the house, Taehyung was coming out of the basement, unaware of your figure standing on the hearthrug. His torso was naked, save for the chain around his neck. He was holding the key looped in the chain in his hand as he ascended the steps, not seeing you in the least.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
Wo Bin sought a meeting with Taehyung, giving him the security update for the week.
“Mr. Kim,” he started cautiously, looking at his boss in wary apprehension.
“Yes?”
“It’s Se Jong again, he has been a sore pain in the ass for months, boss.”
Taehyung blew out his cheeks and sighed.
“I know, Bin-ah, but his brother was very loyal to me. He took a bullet and died for me. And Se Jong is helpful with the money matters.”
Wo Bin hesitated. “Yes, about that…”
“What is it?”
“Mrs. Kim was seen at the bank yesterday. She was enquiring about a withdrawal. Se Jong brought it to our notice.”
Taehyung sat up in concern. It was unusual of you to go to any bank. You only had credit cards which he gave after you satisfied his quirks. What was the need for going to the bank? He knew that more details were yet to come, else his man would have already told them without being prompted to.
“Keep an eye on her banking interests, tell Se Jong to be alert.”
Wo Bin nodded, readying himself to speak again.
“Also,” he drawled, waiting until he had his boss’s attention. “Our man at the docks informed that Bong Ju was seen in the city. We don’t have the details of where he went or who he met yet.”
Taehyung leaned back in his chair, a faint worry nagging him. Bong Ju had been told to stay put in the Bahamas if he wanted his sister’s family to stay alive. It was a breach on his part to flout the order. Why had he come? Did it have anything to do with you?
“Keep asking around. I need to know if he crossed paths with my wife.”
He decided to leave early and be near you for the rest of the afternoon.
On his way out, Taehyung absently walked by the aisle of cubicles, thinking about your new interest in finance. What were you up to? His guards always gave him clean reports of your whereabouts, it didn’t seem like you had found a new guy.
As he passed a cubicle, a pair of sultry eyes looked up at him. He froze spontaneously. Stepping towards the eyes led his gaze to a prominent cleavage, a beauty mark right at the middle of it. His mind raced to the masquerade ball, the night when the mysterious masked woman kissed him.
“You.”
She got up, eyeing him steadily. She never broke eye contact as she traced her vixen steps, affirming his suspicion. She flicked her hand at him, dipping it into his breast pocket and pulling out the pocket square. She was still gazing at him when she pressed it against her lips, winked coyly, and tucked it back in its place with a smoot pat.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
“Where’s Taehyung?” You inquired casually, careful not to look too interested.
“He is at the cottage, Mrs. Kim.”
Cottage. Basement. Yoongi.
The word opened a dam of traumatic memories. “Oh, yes, I see.”
Your hands were shaking nervously when you returned to the bedroom. So, he was away. He’d probably be late. It gave you ample time to rummage around for passports. Ha Neul had her own passport too, he had taken you and Ha Neul to Paris on a vacation. The passports had to be somewhere, right in his closet.
There was a vault with an electronic keypad. You hoped that the passports were in there. But what was the combination? You tried everything you could think of. Birthdays, birth years, anniversaries, but no luck. It just stubbornly flashed a red light and vibrated.
What was it?
Your fingers punched the numbers in, doubt weighing heavily on your mind. Could it… be the day Yoongi died?
The vault clicked open.
── ⋆✩⋆ ──
Taehyung was seated on a chair, his legs crossed. The woman was kneeling, held in place by two guards. The musky smell of the room brought back memories of the night he killed Min Yoongi. He was not in the glass room, but the basement was the same anyway. The faded light flickered outside the door. It was fucking cold. Well, basements did get damn cold in the winter.
“It was you.”
She smiled, licking her crimson lips, her lipstick and sharp canines lending a fiendish aura to her. Like a vampire.
“It was always me, Kim,” she cooed, the smile turning sinister. “Took you long enough.”
He tilted his head, creasing his forehead.
“What do you mean?”
She smiled again, the genial expression morphing instantly into a dangerous sneer as she ground her teeth.
“You don’t remember me, Kim. But I do. You thought I was an easy fuck. You kicked me out on the streets even before your cum dried.” She glared at him. “I was not and am not a fucking whore, Kim Taehyung. I’m the heiress of the damned Song Shipping Line,” she spat.
“Song? But that is owned by Song Joong-“
“That’s my cousin. I had more pressing matters to deal with.” She smirked and raised her brows. “Because, Kim, you cannot just fuck me and throw me out.”
The pleasant beam was back on her face. “I let my cousin run the company and came after you. I changed my name, solely to crush your heart under my heels.” The smile took on a shy turn. “But what can I say, I’ve fallen for you.”
He looked at her as if she were out of her mind.
“You? Have fallen for me?”
Even the guards holding her looked at each other in confusion.
She laughed, letting her head roll back. “What?” Her eyes were streaming with mirth. “You can’t believe that?”
He didn’t respond, suspicious that she was playing him. Who on Earth actually fell for him? She must be crazy. But Song? Was she Song Jun Hyi? He didn’t even remember meeting her. When he found his voice, it came out croaked.
“Why- why would you leave everything and become a secretary? Why?”
She raised her eyebrows. “Why? Don’t you understand? You of all people should get me. It’s simple, Kim.” She pouted her plush lips. “I’m in love with you.”
He darted out of his chair. “What are you, crazy?”
“Uh huh.” She winked at him, drawing her words out. “Crazy about you.”
Taehyung looked at the guards, and they dropped her hands, leaving the room immediately. But she remained kneeling. Taehyung sat down again, leaning against the backrest, and establishing the power dynamic.
“I don’t believe you.”
She scoffed. “What should I say to make you believe me?” She smiled her crooked smile. “Should I say how your wife is sneaking behind your back?” The smile deepened. “Should I say she’s hiding secrets from you?”
He gripped the armrests tight. No, his Y/N would never. This woman knew nothing about you. She was a crazy bitch who had no idea how pure you were.
“Well?” she teased. “Wanna know, baby boy?”
He pressed his lips together, fighting the urge to slap her silly. The sound of her voice was grating on his nerves.
“Don’t you dare call me that.”
She gave him her best puppy eyed smile. “Aw, look at you, so pretty when angry.”
“I would never love you back,” he snapped.
“But that didn’t stop you from grabbing Y/N, did it?”
He bounded forward, catching her throat in a strangle-hold.
“Don’t fuck with me, Na Yeon.”
His hand was gripping her like a vice. The bob of her throat was evident as she choked out “I’m not. It’s the truth.”
His mean streak got the better of him. “Oh, yeah?” His fingers tightened. “Tell me my wife’s secrets so I can spit on your face and say that I already know them.”
Even though death was beckoning, she remained stoic, looking at him steadily. “I will. But kiss me first.”
He knew an obstinate bitch when he saw one. Dipping his head down, he ghosted his breath just down her nose.
“Tell me and I’ll give it to you. If you really deserve it.”
Her tongue flicked out and traced his lip. “Okay, tiger.” She pushed herself a bit and butted his nose.
“Hmm, how do I put it eloquently, honey boy? You aren’t going to have a baby anytime soon.”
His glare burned into her face. “I’m not impot-“
She rubbed his nose with hers. “Shh, I know, tiger boy. You’re well equipped to make a lot of cubs inside me, I’m sure.”
He remained silent, not liking how she knew about his weakness for nose rubs.
“Tell me, bitch.” His nostrils flared in anger at being called a boy.
“You’re staying at the winter villa, right?” She licked his lips again, causing him to recoil. “Well, my source tells me that she hides pretty little things in a shoebox. Third closet from the left. An old shoebox, baby boy. Go look.”
He smiled mockingly at her. Did the bitch think he would believe her?
“You’re pathetic.”
She grinned again. “Aren’t you, too?”
He rose from his crouch, ears pink. Walking rapidly to the door, he looked back at her one hard time, biting out the words:
“We’ll see what’s in the closet. I’ll fucking snap your neck if you’re lying,” before slamming the door behind him.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
So Na Yeon or Song Jun Hyi to be precise, looked up with hysterical joy when he returned. She saw the tousled hair, deathly pallor and the unsteady gait of a man defeated. The strange mix of anger and disappointment plastered on his face told her all she wanted to know.
“You saw it, didn’t you?”
Taehyung couldn’t believe that his Y/N had betrayed him right under his nose. What hurt him more was that you had kept a lot more stuff inside that box.
He didn’t know how you had gotten your hands on them, but there were suit buttons, bits of paper with Yoongi’s handwriting, cuff links, tie pins, movie ticket stubs, and a lot of odds and ends crammed into it. Beneath the box of souvenirs, the yellow pill bottle was tucked safely, full of birth control pills.
He had gone feral, throwing everything out of the closet and fucking losing himself. He had almost hit you, but he had exacted revenge another way.
He looked at the woman squatting on the floor. Her ass was probably freezing on the cold hard floor. But her face had all the warmth in the world as she gazed at him.
He couldn’t control the anger coursing through his body. His eyes were burning.
“How did you know about it?” He hated the defeated tone of his voice. He hated losing. Ever.
“I think I’ve earned my kiss now,” she replied, pouting her lips up at him expectantly.
His glare was sharp enough to cut diamonds. “I only ever kiss my wife.”
“Come on, tiger boy, you made a deal.” Her whine was bratty, yes, but he knew she wasn’t as weak or harmless as she looked. She had no business inside his wife’s closet, yet she knew where exactly you kept your secrets.
His heart weighed down with guilt as he extended his hand to her, pulling her up so she wouldn’t fucking lose her butt to the bitter cold. Once up, she slithered her body against him, humming in content. He let his hands hang limply at his sides, not even attempting to hold her.
She didn’t seem to mind. Pushing him to make him sit on the lone chair, she straddled him, not paying attention to his limp hands. She moaned in luJst, purring like a cat as she hungrily licked strokes on his Adams apple. Her tongue found its way to his lips, kissing the corners teasingly.
Bunching his hair in her fists, she kissed him with such intensity that a subconscious moan escaped the depths of his throat. Her tongue fought his own for dominance, and he couldn’t help but give up. She was a fricking wildcat. But it was when her hand slid to cup his crotch that he drew the line.
“I only agreed to a kiss. Get off me.”
Her glance was mocking. “Seriously, you don’t want it? You don’t want to be loved back? I’m offering you my whole heart on a platter, and you still want her?”
He didn’t respond, the words cutting him harder than the sharpest blades. She traced her finger down his chest. “I’ve got everything, baby, I am a fucking heiress. She’s got nothing.”
He pushed her off, the malice back in full spirit. His voice was laced with hatred when he hissed at her:
“She is everything.” No one could match up to you. Your half-hearted kisses, sloppy blowjobs, angry punches, they all made more sense than the fiery kiss he had just received. No, he loved you. The whole you.
Na Yeon hugged her knees, smiling up in that annoying manner. “You’re a business man, Kim. How about we talk a deal?”
── ⋆✩⋆ ──
“I’d rather sit on your lap if you don’t mind,” she said, eyeing the chair that had been brought into the room for her. God, she was driving him insane.
“I do fucking mind.”
She pursed her lips, settling into the chair with an air of defeat. He cut to the chase immediately.
“What is your deal?”
She regarded him with blank honesty. “Let’s have a bet, actually. It’s better that way.”
“Spit it out.”
“Let’s see, you killed Y/N’s husband just to get her. Right?” The innocent question had a sinister hook lurking underneath, which Taehyung immediately caught.
“What about it?”
“Well, in that case, if killing an obstacle is right to get to the person you love, doesn’t that law apply to me too?”
He had expected that hook. He understood how her mind worked because she was exactly at his mental place. Obsessed with a person who just didn’t return the feeling. He realized that she was very much like him.
“Do you expect an answer?” He sounded calm and relaxed.
“No, I know you know what I’m talking about, Kim.” She cracked her neck, sighing a little. “I will kill her if that means I can get you.”
“So, what is your deal?” He fought to keep the condescension out of his tone.
She grinned. “My businessman,” she purred. “I try and kill her. You try and stop it. Just leave the odds to the stars.”
“Why would I agree to such a stupid deal?”
“Because, Kim, the clock has already started ticking for your Y/N. I’m only offering you a chance to save her before I kill her.”
“If I win?” He smirked with confidence.
“You get your way with me. Kill me, lock me up, whatever you want.” Her casual words did send a jolt up his spine. “But, if I win,”
“What if you win?”
“I get you.”
She winked and laughed before adding, “And she dies.”
He didn’t bat an eyelid. “Deal.”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
The deal was that Na Yeon would try and kill you within a month, and he would have to prevent it from happening. The nuances were:
Na Yeon wasn’t allowed anywhere near you. She had bragged about already having set a plan in motion. So, she had only that plan to rely on. She was fired from Taehyung’s office with immediate effect.
Taehyung wasn’t allowed to tap into Na Yeon’s phone calls or personal correspondence. He wasn’t allowed to involve any other person into the deal. His attempts to save you were to be his alone. No cops, guards, or any backup for him either.
When Taehyung returned home, his ears were already buzzing. He had almost drowned your daughter, trying to teach you a lesson. He went in search of you, finding you curled into a ball by your daughter’s bed.
“She got a fever?” he enquired, attempting to balm your pain.
You flew at him like a lioness, punching him in the chest, pushing him out of the room.
“What the fuck? ‘She got a fever?’ Is that all you got, you cruel piece of crap?”
He let himself get pummeled; he did deserve it. He had jeopardized the only string that was tying you to him. He shifted his gaze down, looking at your pants when he saw something that caught his attention. Dog hair. Almond.
He caught your fists, shushing you as he did so. “What’s that? Almond’s fur?”
You froze briefly, collecting yourself just as quickly.  “Yeah. What about it?”
He tsked. “I don’t remember giving you permission to walk him. Or go near him.”
Holding your head, you shook in anger, hissing “I don’t want your permission to fucking breathe. I’m done.”
He was tempted to say that he knew. He knew you were upto something behind his back. The words almost slipped his lips. But he had to play it out. He had to win you. It was almost objectification, trying to win you. But Na Yeon had placed him in that uncomfortable fix. If he justified killing Yoongi as an excuse to scout your love, Na Yeon did have the right to employ the same tactic. It was only fair.
“I know you’re upset, Y/N. I…” He swallowed the lump in his throat, “… I am sorry.”
You were taken aback. You had thought that apologies never existed in his world. To hear it for the first time, the sound of it felt so unfamiliar.
“I- need to be alone.”
He nodded and withdrew silently, leaving you to your own. Almond. He had to know how you had gotten near him. Also, he had to find out about the shoebox. Was it one of the guards? He became paranoid. Was one of him own men cheating on him with you? Was that why he only got squeaky clean reports of you all the time?
He trusted his guys with his life. No, there had to be something else he was missing. It didn’t make sense, especially when you vehemently hated the guys and their guns. You never allowed them anywhere near your daughter.
Who had clearance to talk to you, to pass you pills? Who did you meet that no other guard got suspicious of? Who was in the circle approved to be in contact with you? Who was the invisible person hiding in plain sight?
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
Seung Jo had packed all his stuff and sent them ahead to Malta. He only had to pick up a couple of things. Oh, and the tickets. He smiled at the couple of tickets he had tucked inside his diary. He was going to Malta with the love of his life. It felt too good to be true.
Na Yeon’s steady paychecks, coupled with Taehyung’s had given him a lot of money to enjoy a life of luxury over there. His phone vibrated, interfering in his pleasant daydreams of lazing on hammocks and sipping beer.
“Yes, ma’am?”
“Has anyone begun to suspect you?”
“No, everything is fine.”
“And Y/N? You’re positive about her?”
“Oh yes. We’ll continue as planned.”
“Good. Six more days.”
The caller hung up. He lay back down on his bed, thinking if he should get married in Malta, or wait to get to an even better destination.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
There was a knock on the door, waking up Seung Jo. His blurred vision made out 3:18 am on the digital clock. The knock grew louder, and he swore under his breath as he hit his foot on something. Waddling through the darkness, he flicked the light on and rubbed his toe. The sudden brightness took some adjusting to. The knock persisted, getting faster by the second.
“Chill the fu-“ He threw the door open, the curse freezing on his lips when he saw who was standing outside.
“Mr- Mr. Kim?”
The man in sweatpants looked so different, as if he were a whole other person, and not the suit and tie guy Seung Jo knew of.
“I’m coming in, it’s fucking freezing.” Taehyung brushed past Seung Jo, making straight for the couch.
Sweat lined Seung Jo’s neck, even though it was winter and bone-chillingly cold.
“Is something the matter, sir?” He couldn’t imagine the boss man coming to his house at such an odd time. Whatever it was, it surely wasn’t good news.
“Let’s cut the bullshit, Seung Jo.” Taehyung waved a file at the man in front of him. “Who hired you?”
The sweat was coming in torrents now. “Uh- Miss Na Yeon did, sir.” He wasn’t sure how much the boss had found out. He didn’t know if he was owning up to the plan or to the fact that she hired him as the chauffeur.
“As the-?” Taehyung persisted, patience wearing thin.
Seung Jo shut up, he was not going to readily own up. He wouldn’t give up and lose Malta and love to empty threats.
“As the chauffeur,” he replied sulkily.
“Oh?” Taehyung’s lips remained in the surprised pout for a whole minute. “Well, I have a whole file of papers that proves otherwise.”
Seung Jo knew now. His breath stuck in his throat. “Mr. Kim, let me explain…”
Taehyung waved in dismissal. “Just spit out the truth. I don’t have time. Bare facts.”
When he received just a beseeching look in reply, Taehyung opened the file and pulled out sheets of paper.
“Two tickets to Malta.” He waved them at the man. “By flight.” He removed some more sheets and waved them. “Three tickets to Santorini, by ship.”
Taehyung clucked his tongue. “Tell me I’m wrong, Seung Jo, how can you be on a flight and a ship on the same day?”
Seung Jo knew that he was beyond saving. He knew Taehyung’s violent temper. And living around men with guns had already shaken him enough to know when to give up.
“Mr. Kim, sir, I was asked to trick Mrs. Kim into going to the harbor. I was supposed to get out of the country as soon as she left to go to the harbor.”
“And what’s in the harbor?”
“I don’t know, sir. I really don’t. Ms. Na Yeon told me to not poke my nose into it when I asked.”
“And you were going to Malta.” Taehyung leaned back as he surveyed the man shaking before him. “With your boyfriend.”
Seung Jo nodded, wiping his sweat with his palm. “I wanted to live a better life, Mr. Kim. My boyfriend- he’s a barista. He has been through enough in life, that’s why I accepted Ms. Na Yeon’s offer. I wanted money.” He sniffed. “I wanted to marry my boyfriend and give him the life he deserves.”
Taehyung looked at the man closely. “Did you ever… kiss my…”
The man shook his head with violent passion. “No, sir! No. I could never cheat on my boyfriend.”                                                                                    
Taehyung’s chest deflated. “So, you never had feelings for her?”
“I swear I didn’t, sir.”
Good. The guy hadn’t held you or touched you with any lustful intent. Taehyung would have chopped the fucker’s fingers off if he had. He felt lucky.
“Na Yeon doesn’t know that you’re gay?”
She had made a very foolish mistake, overseeing that important detail. One that was going to cost her dearly.
“No, sir, I wanted the money. I couldn’t risk not being hired. She has no idea.”
The man was visibly shaking. He kept wiping his sweaty palms on his sides. “Please, please don’t kill me, sir. I …”
“Oh no, Seung Jo. Here’s what we are going to do...”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
“Y/N?”
You turned to Seung Jo. His almond skin was glinting in the afternoon sun. “Yeah?”
He passed the tickets to you. Your hands shook when you opened the envelope. The destination made your head swim. Santorini. It was real. You were really going. Your baby girl and you were finally going to be free.
You nodded at him absently before asking “And yours?”
He chuckled, nodding. “I have it safely locked at home. Can’t risk carrying it around, babe.”
“Yeah. Right.”
You fell silent, looking at the cottony clouds sailing above. “It feels so scary-” You took a deep breath – “Getting out of there.” The silence resumed for a moment. “I’m scared I might wake up and find this is all nothing but a dream.”
Seung Jo’s conscience pricked him for the first time. He was dangling freedom in front of a woman who would never get out of the cage. But he had gotten into the sticky mess; he had to get out of it alive.
Taehyung had threatened to kill his boyfriend if he didn’t finish the game he had started.
He squeezed your hand, gently assuring that you were going to escape for real.
“But we’re going on Friday, not Thursday.”
You stared at the ticket closely, surprise written on your face. “I thought you said Thursday. I clearly remember.”
He looked ahead, avoiding your stare. “Yeah I did. But I could get tickets only for Friday. Just a day, babe, hold on for one more day.”
You nodded, gulping down the fear nibbling at your heart. Taehyung would go ballistic if he knew your passports were missing. Just one day.
“So, be ready and I’ll come pick you and Ha Neul up on Friday. You told him you’re going to the dentist, right?”
You nodded again. The alibis were already ready.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
“You ready? It’s time. Get going, Seung Jo.”
“Yes, ma’am. I am on my way to the house.”
“Text me when you get there.”
She cut the call and picked up her burner cell. The room was silent except for the low sound of the dial tone.
“You there yet?”
“Yeah. I’ve already set up the scope.”
“Okay. Remember, she’ll be there with her daughter. Wrap it up nice and clean.”
“For sure.”
The sniper hung up, looking at his neon watch. He had some time to kill before his target would be arriving.
Meanwhile, Na Yeon was micromanaging Seung Ho, calling him every few minutes to check up on him. She was in her apartment, biting her fingernails and praying that everything would go right.
Seung Jo hadn’t told her anything that was the least suspicious. Had Taehyung really not found out? Was she winning? Her controlling nature was bursting at the seams, not being there to witness your death. She didn’t like putting her fate into other people’s hands. But some battles were better fought remotely.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
“I never miss a target.”
Her fingers trembled, causing the cellphone to shake. She drew a shaky breath.
“Fine. Abort and return.”
When she turned, she had a violent start. A dark outline was standing the doorway, moving towards her. Taehyung stepped into view, his devilish smile lending unnatural charm to his features.
“Guess I won then?”
She had no choice but to surrender, tail well between her legs. All the confidence in her had evaporated away. Not because she failed to kill you. Rather because she had lost him. He was never going to be hers.
“What’s it gonna be? She asked softly. “Death by what? Guns? Poison? Explosives?”
He chuckled lightly. “None.” He took great pleasure in seeing her startled expression.
“What?!”
He flashed his boxy smile, melting the living soul out of her.
“You can never get me, Na Yeon. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t live.” He crossed his arms and pursed his lips. “You did try to harm the singularly most important person in my life. For that though, you’ll have to pay the price.”
He dipped his hands into his pockets.
“A sniper? Really? I never expected that much class from you. I’m amazed.” He chuckled lightly. “Your sniper couldn’t shoot my wife because according to Seung Jo’s new plan, they’re leaving tomorrow, not today.” He loved the way she gulped in shock.
“You played me, so I played you by using your own man against you.”
That evening, So Na Yeon was restrained and taken to the Klammer Institute, where she was placed in a psychiatric ward reserved exclusively for her. Her registration form simply stated ‘No next of kin. Hold till end of life.’
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
You couldn’t sleep all night. What if something raised Taehyung’s doubts? You weren’t going to take any luggage. Getting yourselves out of Taehyung’s clutches was enough for now. You had prepped Ha Neul for the big plan, telling her that it was a surprise for daddy and she absolutely should not say anything before him.
Taehyung was tired and slept soundly by your side. It eased your mind to know he wasn’t aware of how fidgety you were. That man had the sense of a bloodhound.
Dawn came, and soon it was bright and sunny. Taehyung smiled into his glass of juice when you announced that you were going to the dentist.
“Sure, honey. Be back soon.” He resumed scanning his newspaper.
You waited and waited, biting your lips, and stealing looks at the clock. The ship was going to sail away soon. But no Seung Jo came. He had talked to you the previous evening, going over the entire plan. Where, then, was he?
You jumped whenever a shadow fell across the foyer, hoping to see Seung Jo bounding in. But every time, you were disappointed.
Taehyung kept a straight face when he asked, “Do you want one of the guards to drive you?”
You shook your head, biting your lips harder. “No, I’m fine.” You looked up at the clock again. He wasn’t coming. He had let you down.
You had chased a fickle drop, and it had vanished, leaving you stranded in the desert.
At that exact time, Seung Jo was inside the plane bound to Malta, holding hands with his boyfriend, waiting for the takeoff.
His boyfriend pressed his hand warmly. “What is it, babe? Sad about leaving this place?”
Seung Jo gave him a watery smile. “Uh, yeah. Kind of.”
The plane took off, carrying them both towards a new phase of life. Seung Jo leaned and peered down the window, wondering about you. He had done everything Taehyung had ordered him to. There was nothing more to be done. He hoped you would be alright.
“I love you,” his boyfriend said, leaning on his shoulder and sighing happily.
“I love you too.”
“To better places, love.”
“Yeah, babe. To better places only.”
With that, Seung Jo erased you off his mind.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
Wo Bin discreetly cleared his throat, standing at full attention before his boss.
“What’s the matter, Bin-ah?”
The man hesitated slightly, unsure of how to best word it.
“Mr. Boss, no, Kim… no, Mr. Kim….”
Taehyung shot a penetrating glance at his aide, peering at him over his reading glasses.
“Spit it out, Bin.”
“I don’t know how to…” He saw his boss’s nostrils flare up, and he blurted it out. “I- I’ve been in-“ He swallowed hard, “-in love with So Na Yeon for years now.”
He nervously watched his boss digest the information, waiting to have his head bitten off.
Taehyung crossed his arms and stared at Wo Bin hard.
“For years?”
Wo Bin nodded silently.
“Help me understand, Bin. You say you love her and then she tries to kill my wife? Were you two planning…”
“No, no, boss!  I never told her. She doesn’t know. Not an inkling. I never even asked her out.”
Taehyung leaned back a bit. “So, are you going to fight me for putting her in an institute?” He looked at the gun in Wo Bin’s holster. “Are you going to shoot me?”
“Of course not, sir. I loved her. I still do in fact.” The man wiped his brow. “But I would never choose her over you.”
Taehyung’s brow shot up, intrigued.
“Why is that?”
“She doesn’t love me.”
The soft voice made Taehyung uneasy. Was Wo Bin mad at him that So Na Yeon was in love with him? Would he kill him for her? He wouldn’t be surprised if Wo Bin decided to go down that road.
Wo Bin looked down at his boots and continued: “She’s not So Na Yeon anymore. I didn’t fall in love with Song Jun Hyi.” He snapped his head back up to look at Taehyung square in the eyes. “And most importantly, I would never betray you.”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
One year later
“Mommy, will daddy get candy?”
“Yes, baby.”
Your little girl shook her pigtails cutely, saying “Will I get gummy bears?”
You smiled and nodded at her, assuring her that she would.
Taehyung was talking to Wo Bin, who was complaining loudly about the lack of discipline in the ranks. “Some guys are just too unruly, boss. They’re like a bunch of school boys.”
Taehyung’s phone vibrated, and he smiled as he picked it up.
“Yes, sugar?”
“Min Ha Neul wants gummy bears. Don’t be a miser. Get her some M&Ms too.”
“And you, love? Can I get you anything? Cravings?”
“Fucking get hit by a car and die.”
“I’ll remember not to,” he replied, grinning.
You sighed and looked down. 6 months pregnant. It was humiliating to carry his child around. But you couldn’t hate the baby. No, you weren’t evil enough to do that. He was such a bitch to you, yes, but you would never hurt babies. You would never stoop that low.
You still randomly thought of Seung Jo. Where had he gone? Had Taehyung found out and killed him? But Taehyung was a man to gloat. He would have laughed in your face and told the news. So, what else had happened to Seung Jo? The thoughts came occasionally, out of nowhere. And every time, you daydreamed of escaping on that ship, far far away from Kim Taehyung.
When Taehyung returned home, he couldn’t find you in the bedroom. Waltzing over to the kitchen, he froze when he saw you downing something straight out of a bottle. He bounded over to you, snatching it, and raining slaps on your face.
“You’re trying to kill my baby,” he screamed in hysteria, shaking you by the throat. “You bitch, you’re poisoning my baby!”
“Let me go,” you croaked, “it’s – it’s just cough syrup.” You threw the bottle down, fighting to breathe.
His hands abruptly left your throat, his pupils still dilated in the surge of adrenaline. You looked over his shoulder and saw Ha Neul peeking around the door, scared by the loud noise.
When he bent and looked at the label, he hung his head sheepishly. It was cough syrup.
“Don’t worry,” you snapped, brushing past him, “Unlike you, I don’t hurt children.” You paused and glared at him. “Or anyone, for that matter.”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
The baby was due in a few weeks. You had to get a breath of fresh air. You had been going to see your parents for a few weeks, but then the back pain had become too much to handle. You had missed a few weeks, and suddenly you decided on a whim to visit them. It was a long walk, yes, but it would help clear your mind.
You wanted to take Almond too. The poor boy really needed some love. Those brutes with guns didn’t exactly shower him with the love he deserved.
When you knocked on the study door, there was no response. Taehyung worked from home just like he had done when you were pregnant with Ha Neul. You tried the handle and opened the door, but he wasn’t there. Fuck. He usually went wild if you didn’t ask him before taking Almond out. Screw it, you couldn’t be bothered to call and ask.
The crunch of gravel underneath your sneakers felt oddly satisfying. The elation of taking Almond along without Taehyung knowing stirred rebellious joy in your heart. The guards might probably tell him, but you would deal with it later.
Almond happily sniffed at the flowers by the roadside, wagging his tail and occasionally pressing his body against your legs to show his appreciation. Such a dear little thing. You were smiling when you entered the cemetery. Walking past the headstones, your eyebrows furrowed in confusion when you saw two bouquets of white carnations laid neatly on your parents’ graves. You hastened towards them, Almond bounding closely behind you.
The water droplets on the flowers were still fresh, the candles had just gone out. You touched a wick. It was still warm. You looked around wildly, almost missing the man walking far ahead of you, amid the maze of graves.
So, you had finally lost your mind. Were you seeing Yoongi? Had you gone crazy? What would happen to Ha Neul if you were sent to a psych ward? A billion questions buzzed in your mind.
“Almond, stay.”
The dog sat down faithfully.
You trailed behind the apparition, unsure of what to expect. Turning around a row of headstones, he turned to the side, and his side profile was thrown into light. Your breath stopped, heart hammering away inside your ribcage. He sauntered away, unaware of the heavily pregnant woman following him. You ducked behind a headstone, watching him walk out through the other entrance, making straight for his car.
The car revved up and glided away, leaving you staring open-mouthed. He had been the mysterious flower guy the whole fucking time? The fact flashed at you out of the blue. It was Wednesday. Your parents had died on a Wednesday.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
When you walked back home and left Almond at his kennel, the car was already parked in the porch. A bouquet of lilies was on the kitchen counter. Near it was a bag of Tootsie Pops and gummy bears for Ha Neul.
You walked down the hallway to his study. The door was half open. He was writing something and turned in surprise when he saw you.
“What is it, Y/N?”
You couldn’t coherently form a word. His gaze roamed down and settled on the flecks on your pants.
“Is that… dog hair?”
“I went for a walk; you weren’t there when I came to ask about Almond.”
You waited for him to say something. Anything.
“Well, it’s okay just this one time.” It looked as if he wanted to say something else. “I.. uh, brought you some flowers. Didn’t want them to be thrown on my face, so I left them on the counter.”
Mustering up a great deal of courage, you breathed out, “The flowers-“
He didn’t give away anything. There was no dawning recognition on his features.
“Yeah, lilies. You love lilies.”
“Uh, yeah. Yep, I do.”
You silently removed yourself from the room, too dazed to think. The man you had met at the cemetery had said that he had been paid for like- what? Five years? You realized that his job was to scrub wax and get the shrunken flowers off the graves before you went to see them on Thursdays. Taehyung knew your parents had died on a Wednesday. How much did he actually know about you?
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
“Y/N?”
Taehyung had woken up thirsty, and had gone down to get a sip of cold water.
The fridge door was open; and the soft light fell on his favorite person in the world, with an ice cream tub cuddled in her chest. At the sound of his deep groggy voice, the spoon fell on the floor with a clang.
“Here,” he picked a fresh spoon and handed it to you. “Oh my, Y/N, you’re so beautiful.”
You raised an eyebrow, licking the back of the spoon and smacking your lips. Was he fucking kidding you?
“I’m round as a ball, wearing sweatpants twice my size, leaking through my hoodie, stuffing my face at 3 in the morning with blackcurrant ice cream, and you find me beautiful?”
He snorted, spilling the water on his shirt. Wiping his mouth, he laughed at your indignant face.
“Of course. You don’t believe me?”
“Like hell I would,” you grunted, digging into the tub to scoop up some more.
He clutched your arm, steering you forward as he kicked the fridge door closed.
“Come, let’s go. No, bring the ice cream with you. It’s okay.”
When you reached the bedroom, he flicked on the light, the sudden radiance dazzling your eyes.
He pulled you to the mirrored closet, standing behind you with his chest pressed against your back.
“Look,” he said, taking the ice cream tub from your hands and placing it on the bed gently. “Look ahead.”
His fingers grabbed the hem of your hoodie, his knuckles grazing against your belly and leaving goosebumps in their wake. He slowly lifted the fabric up, bunching it up so your belly was naked and vulnerable.
“See?” he asked, his hand cupping the widest part of your belly, the other hand squeezing your shoulder. “See how beautiful you are, carrying my child. Don’t you see? We made that together.”
His finger traced delicate lines along the bump.
“You’re growing a little Kim inside you, Y/N. Look how pretty you look, swollen with my seed.”
He bent slightly to breathe into your ear: “So fucking perfect.”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
“Kim Taehyung, you miserable bitch!”
Taehyung shot up to his feet, rushing to your side.
“Yes, honey. I’m here.”
The midwife tried her best to pretend that she didn’t hear you insult him every few seconds your contractions came on.
“You made this happen. You put me through this, you asshole!”
He didn’t care about the midwife squirming behind him. You were his Y/N. You had every right to call him names. He held your hand, attempting to help you focus on your breathing.
“Breathe in, baby, just follow my lead.”
“Fuck you,” you screamed sobbing in agony.
“You can do this, Y/N. Just hang on a little more.”
“I can’t, I can’t,” you whimpered, wanting to smash his head against the wall for putting you through the whole ordeal.
“I know,” he said, rubbing your palm and looking hopelessly at the midwife. “How much longer?”
“Just an hour or so, Mr. Kim.”
He sighed and leaned down to wipe your clammy forehead. “Just a little while longer, baby.”
Taehyung could remember the last time he was in a delivery room only too clearly. He had been seething in white hot rage, furious at Min for letting you handle so much pain.
But now, standing nervously by your side, he felt radically different. He couldn’t wait to get the baby out of you and end your suffering, yes, but there was a small feeling of awe that humbled him.
This woman, the one screaming out curses and clawing at his hands, was birthing his child. He was no more just a man; he was a father. The very thought affected him more than he had anticipated.
── ⋆✩⋆ ──-
“That’s it, Mrs. Kim, you’re doing great,” the doctor called, her head between the stirrups. “Give me one more push.”
Taehyung felt something odd going on. The pressure on his hand was weakening by the second.
“Y/N?” he called out, bending to look closely. “Are you alright?”
The machines started beeping in a frenzy, and the doctor yelled for help.
“She’s seizing!”
More doctors rushed in, and one of them jabbed at his chest, trying to push him out of the way.
“Please get out of the room, sir,” he said, using his weight to buckle the tall man.
“Yeah? Try and make me,” Taehyung said, rooted to his spot.
People in white coats were barking orders at each other, pushing and pulling his beloved wife all over the place.
The young doctor opened his mouth to argue, and Taehyung sneered at him angrily.
“Look, you moron, that woman is my wife, and I swear I will rip your balls off if you don’t back off!”
Suddenly, all the pandemonium stopped, and the doctors began filing out of the room.
“What, what?” He shouted, kicking himself for losing track of you.
Your doctor glared at him, pissed.
“If you are done heckling my intern, Mr. Kim, you may be pleased to know your baby is coming. Now.”
Taehyung ran over to the doctor’s side, watching her expertly handle the teeny tiny head coming through.
You were slumped against the pillows in exhaustion, the final push had usurped all your energy.
Before he even saw the baby’s face, Taehyung rushed back to you, hugging you tight. His body shook in emotion.
“I almost died, you scared me so much.”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
Kim Jaemin was born hale and healthy, his cute cheeks and glittering eyes making you wonder how such a wonderful little human could have been sired by Kim Taehyung.
When you took him back home after a few days, the entire staff of Taehyung’s office showed up to celebrate the baby. The mansion was decorated with festoons and balloons, welcoming the Kim heir heartily.
Taehyung threw a party in honor of the birth of his son, sending out handwritten invitations to every person in the elite circle.
He played the part of the generous host to perfection, moving around the hall with a gracious smile. He had bullied you into wearing a pretty dress and greeting the guests.
You were hastening to get yourself a drink when his sonorous voice chanted your name and piqued your interest.
“… is such a talented person. Yeah, it’s a pity she couldn’t work on projects, I am sure she could work from home. Her artistic sense is impeccable. Come, I’ll show you how tastefully she has decorated the study. You couldn’t see such perfect harmony and rhythm anywhere.”
── ⋆✩⋆ ──-
Ha Neul was elated to have such a cute younger brother. She eagerly brought all her toys to stuff inside his crib, her gummy smile widening every time he giggled.
Jaemin took after you, most of his features resembled you. Taehyung took absolute pride in that. He had made a baby with you. A baby that looked so alike you. A part of him and you were inside Jaemin. Curiously though, he felt like he loved you more than he did his own boy. Yes, Jaemin was his offspring, but it was you that he loved. And you always came first.
Not an ounce of his jealousy had changed. He still hated when you coddled Jaemin or breastfed him. His son was stealing your love. He hoped he wouldn’t grow to regret having Jaemin. He would have much preferred a girl, just so he could compare Min’s daughter and his own and tell himself that he had won over Yoongi, producing the best child.
But when he saw Ha Neul kissing Jaemin’s forehead with her tender lips, he wondered if he were really a monster to even think of comparing children. How could Ha Neul love Jaemin so much? Wasn’t she the least bit jealous? He was baffled and lost, stressed at the complexity, and wondering why everything was so fucking difficult.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
Ha Neul was off at kindergarten, you had fought tooth and nail with Taehyung so she could go to school. He had reluctantly agreed, just to get a break from your constant swearing.
After sending her off with Wo Bin, you looked at the clock. You had an appointment with the pediatrician. Taehyung had already given you a credit card, kissing the top of your head before leaving to his office. Strangely, he only ever patted Jaemin’s back, there were no kisses. There weren’t any kisses for Ha Neul either, but you couldn’t help wondering why Jaemin got the same treatment. Wasn’t Jaemin his own flesh and blood?
Wasn’t the war he waged against Yoongi over already? He had gotten what he had wanted. He had ruined the Min clan, taken you and made you a Kim, and finally gotten his own child. What else did he want?
The grandfather clock chimed and startled you out of your musings. You had better shower; the appointment couldn’t be missed. Laying Jaemin down in his crib, you told the nanny to engage him while you got ready.
“Mrs. Kim?” The nanny was standing at the door meekly. “Ah, good. I thought you had already gotten into the shower.”
“What is it, Dana?”
“Little Jaemin broke the harness of his stroller, I wanted to remind you.”
Oh yeah, you had almost forgotten it. You had to buy a new one. Wait. Ha Neul’s old stroller was still in the basement. It could fill in until you bought another one.
“I think there’s a 5-point harness somewhere, I’ll get it.”
Taehyung always insisted that you never go down. He just forbade you from going to the basement. But you had sneaked there a few times. The walls were definitely wallpapered for some reason. Who wallpapered basements? Apart from that, there wasn’t anything suspicious whatsoever.
When you went down, there was so much stuff boxed up neatly in the basement. Ha Neul’s boxes took just a couple minutes to find. The harness was packed along with it, and you grabbed it and turned to leave before something curious made you stare harder.
The wallpaper had previously disguised it, but the ageing and peeling had revealed some parts of the wall. The paper dipped into parts of rectangular crevice almost the exact size of a door. A door? Was it a secret door? A tunnel? Maybe that’s why Taehyung had forbade you from coming to the basement? What was that crevice for?
You felt around the paper, knocking, and pressing, and sure enough, it was a door. Fiddling around, your fingers found a keyhole. It was so small that you almost missed it. How could you open it? There had to be a key somewhere… You tried pushing and jiggling the door. But it was firm and unrelenting. The curious side of you itched to know what was on the other side. Something like an escape tunnel, surely, because Taehyung had been so stubborn about shooing you away from the damned basement.
When you went back up, you passed the harness to the nanny and hit the shower. You were still thinking about the door. Well, you would find out soon enough.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
Se Jong was waiting impatiently, smoking his last cigarette, and cursing at no one in particular. How long was it going to take for those stupid dickwads to get the job done? It was getting late. He had to have heard from them a quarter of an hour earlier. The loud ringtone startled him, and he cursed again, shifting his phone to his ear.
“You done?”
“Yeah, man.”
He smiled, licking his lips eagerly. God, he was going to be so rich. He took his sweet time finishing his smoke, dialing Taehyung’s number lazily. A deep voice answered.
“Kim Taehyung.”
Se Jong grinned into the phone. “I’m Se Jong.” He snorted a bit, the chuckle making a gross sound in his throat. “Wanna talk.”
Taehyung was puzzled. His guys never called him directly. It was always Wo Bin who dealt with their calls and reported to him. Was the bastard drunk?
“I’m busy, keep it short,” he snapped.
The voice on the other end laughed stupidly, pissing him off even further.
“Did you just- laugh at me, Se Jong?” he shouted, slapping the table. “Why are you even calling me? Quit wasting my time!”
“Simmer down, Taehyung,” the voice drawled, shocking Taehyung into stillness. He dared call him by name? He was certainly asking for a bullet in his brain, the damned son of a bitch.
The cocky chuckle repeated itself, and then the voice came out low and menacing.
“I got your kid. I’m gonna rip him in pieces if you don’t do what I say.”
Taehyung’s blood chilled. His fingers clutched the phone tighter. His son Jaemin? What the fuck was happening? He shot up, sprinting out of his office, phone pressed against his ear. He raced through the paneled offices, taking the stairs at a frenzied pace.
“Get me Wo Bin. Now!” He screamed at the driver, hopping into the car and slamming the door. Se Jong was chuckling on the other end of the line when he panted into the phone, out of breath.
“How much do you want?”
“Oh, Taehyung.” There was a mocking whistle. “How much can you give me?”
The car was racing towards home. Taehyung’s mind was spinning in circles, nothing was comprehensible. You? What about you? Was it only Jaemin that had been kidnapped?
“I… What do you want?”
Silence.
The man chuckled again. “Power. Everything. All that you have. Oh, including that pretty piece of ass, your wife. The whole deal.”
Taehyung gritted his teeth, relapsing into stony silence, willing the car to move faster. The tires squealed, and he jumped out even before the ignition was turned off. Another car pulled up right behind him. Wo Bin jumped out, concern written all over his features.
Taehyung sprinted towards the nursery, heart thudding and making him feel sick.
“Y/N? Y/N?” He shouted at the top of his lungs. “Y/N!!”
No baby in the crib.
“Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.”
Se Jong laughed, snorting again. “No boy at home? Ready to talk business now?”
Wo Bin watched Taehyung collapse onto the floor, squatting weakly. Sweat was pouring down his clothes.
“What do you want?”
“Now that’s the right tone, that pleading tone is good to hear. I’ll call in five.” The line went dead.
Taehyung stared at his phone screen blankly, feeling numb throughout.
“The fuck were you shouting about?”
Taehyung looked up startled, and saw you standing before him, your face cross. Most importantly, a child was on your hips, hugging you like a koala. His son. Jaemin.
He sputtered his words out.
“I- was just… looking for… never mind, Y/N.”
You gave him the hardest glare you could muster, wild at being interrupted in the middle of a diaper change.
Taehyung got up, pulling his subordinate by his sleeve, dragging him to the window.
“What the fuck is Se Jong high on, Bin-ah?” he spat, staring at the confused man.
“What exactly did he say, sir?”
Taehyung could hardly contain his loudness. “He told me he had kidnapped my son for fuck’s sake?”
“Kidnapped?”
You spun around on hearing Wo Bin hiss the word.
“But little Jaemin is here, sir.” Taehyung blew out his cheeks while Wo Bin scratched his head.
“Get me that bitch, that loser bitch in Klammer.”
Taehyung was pacing angrily when the orderly at Klammer Institute let Na Yeon talk into the phone.
“What have you done, bitch?” He screamed, anger rising exponentially. “What is the deal with Se Jong? I’m going to fucking ruin you-“
“What happened?” There was an agonizing silence spanning a whole minute. And then the woman giggled into the phone. “Ooh, something juicy did happen, huh?” She sounded surprised. “Se Jong? Who, the banker? What did he do? Spill the tea, it’s so boring here in the psych ward.”
He held his nose, trying to force himself to calm down. “You didn’t fucking send him?”
She chortled, annoying him to no end. “I don’t know what’s happening, but I hope he kills that bitch.  So that-“
He disconnected the call, cursing out loud.
── ⋆✩⋆ ──--
Se Jong was in the mood for celebration. He was going to strip everything Taehyung had built and become the new lord. Everything Kim Taehyung had built, all his drug cartels, his businesses, everything was going to be his. He was going to be so fucking powerful.
His phone rang again.
“Man, everything OK?”
“Yes, everything’s smooth. How you holding up?”
“Alright here. Little biter we got here. Bit my arm. Can’t wait to get rid of her.”
Se Jong was slow to catch the last word.
“Her?”
“Yeah, man. Kim’s girl.”
Se Jong spat the whiskey he was sipping all over his car’s windscreen. “What the hell are you saying? I told you to get his son!”
“But his wife was late from the clinic, we couldn’t hang out there no more without no one bein’ suspicious. Chill, dude, we snatched the daughter from school. What difference is it gonna make? Boy or girl, both are his, right?”
His entire neck vein was bulging prominently when Se Jong shouted into the phone:
“He doesn’t give a fuck about that one!”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
“Did you say ‘kidnapped’, Wo Bin?” You advanced towards him, suspicion setting off a loud alarm in your brain. “What is happening here?”
Taehyung stepped nearer to you, murmuring that it was nothing of significance.
“No,” you pushed him away, snapping at him. “Tell me now.”
“He was probably drunk, or high on something, he said he had kidnapped our baby,” Taehyung said, the relieved expression on his face changing as he saw the horror on your face.
“Y/N? Jaemin is safe. So- so… why are you….”
“Oh my God! Ha Neul! Where is my daughter?” Bunching his shirt in your fists, you screamed at him. “Tell me you checked on her. Did you call the school? Did you?”
He looked helplessly at Wo Bin, not daring to answer. Ha Neul hadn’t even crossed his mind.
“You’re pathetic,” you spat out, rushing out to get your shoes.
“Y/N! Where are you going?” he called after you, running to keep up with your pace.
“To fetch my baby. Because you clearly don’t give a shit about her.”
He pulled on your elbow, stilling you. “Listen. I will get her. You stay here with Jaemin.”
“You think I am gonna trust you? You forgot my baby girl, you bitch!”
Taehyung winced at the word, fully aware that Wo Bin was listening.
“Y/N, fucking see reason…” His phone rang again. “Se Jong, I’ll end you, do you hea-“
You snatched the phone from him, screaming into it. “Listen, motherfucker, give me my baby back, or I’ll shove your balls down your fucking throat.”
Taehyung wrestled the phone away, motioning for you to be patient. He swore and cussed briefly, nodding at Wo Bin and they bolted out of the door before you could blink.
“HEY!”
But they had already gone. When you tried to run after them, armed guys blocked your way, brandishing rifles and guns and making you retreat.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
You were pacing nervously around, not able to think clearly. Jaemin was sent to his nanny, under strict orders to stay put. Your baby, your little Min Ha Neul, was she alright? How foolish and ignorant these goons were, letting a guy kidnap a kid right under their armed noses. Fucking losers. Poor baby Ha Neul, she was probably scared out of her wits.
It reminded you of when Yoongi had been locked up in that basement. The scary memories wrapped you in sheets of terror, smothering your lungs. You collapsed in a half-faint, hitting the floor with a thud. Something poked at your butt. Bleary eyed, you reached down and removed the cold object, cursing at it for jabbing you.
The object glinted in your fingers. You had seen it already; it was the chain Taehyung always wore around his neck. There was a small Abloy key attached to the chain. The key was somehow special. It opened something. But you had no idea what.
You threw it away, the faint cling of the chain resounding against the flooring. So what if it was special? You couldn’t be bothered to worry about it. Not when your baby was somewhere, cold and probably scared too. She was only a child, your precious child. It made your blood boil that Taehyung had completely forgotten about Ha Neul in the first place.
It felt like history was repeating itself, mocking at you cruelly. First, Min Yoongi. Now, Min Ha Neul. At least you knew where Yoongi had been. You knew he had been locked in the basement, waiting to be saved. But for Ha Neul, you felt so helpless, not knowing where she was. You traced your thoughts back. Basement. You looked at the chain lying forgotten on the floor. The key.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
“Se Jong! Show your face, you filthy cocksucker!”
The garage was eerily empty, unused cars parked at odd angles, jamming the place. Everything was dusty and forgotten.
“Bin-ah, cover the right flank, I’m going to towards the left,” Taehyung whispered, cocking his gun.
There was utter silence, not even the rustle of leaves providing any relief. Taehyung listened for a sign, any sign, to deduce where your daughter was. It would take hours to comb through each rattled car, not to mention the time it would take for just two men to accomplish the feat.
The loud ding of Taehyung’s phone echoed around. Sliding against a car’s door, Taehyung squatted down and slid his phone out.
03:10 Unknown sender
Throw your guns away & raise your hands. Both of you.
Taehyung turned on his phone’s flashlight and shone it under the maze of cars. There were no feet anywhere. That meant his enemy was most probably in one of the cars. But which one?
“Boss,” Wo Bin hissed, his voice slicing through the silence. From his vantage point, Taehyung saw Wo Bin crawl under a line of cars.
Tucking his phone back, Taehyung started crawling too, inching slowly forward. Wo Bin gestured towards a black Chevrolet parked a few paces ahead. He pointed to his eyes, and then to the floor. Taehyung squinted hard, and then he realized what it was.
There was a wet patch under the car. AC condensation. They had found the car.
Taking careful aim, Taehyung took a shot at the tires, and Wo Bin followed suit. Just as the first bullet hit the wheel disc, Ha Neul’s voice rang out in a high-pitched scream.
“Daddy!”
Wo Bin advanced ahead, rushing in the direction of the scream. Taehyung’s fingers were groping for his gun when a bullet hit the ground dangerously close to Wo Bin. More gunshots followed in quick succession, and Ha Neul wailed again, this time her voice broken by a sob.
“Daddy!”
Despite his better judgement, Taehyung crept out from under the cars, in full view of any hidden attacker.
“Min Ha Neul!”
“Daddy!”
“I’m coming, baby!”
A bullet whizzed through the air, hitting him square in the forearm. Every angry nerve in him was roused, and he ran like a cheetah, ducking under cars and jumping over hoods, not minding the rain of bullets showering all around him.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
The key fit like magic. You had initially thought that it was too small to fit. But it clicked open just fine. What were you going to find behind the door? It was scary and mysterious, but if there were a tunnel you could crawl out of, you would do it in a heartbeat just for your baby.
Slowly, you pushed the door open, met with eerie darkness. You fumbled, feeling around, and touching what felt like a toggle switch. You flicked it on, and the room was flooded with blinding radiance. The sight before you knocked all the breath out of your lungs.
There were shelves and shelves made of crystal, filled with hauntingly familiar things. Photos of you adorned the walls, framed in gold.  There were little boxes, which you found to contain empty candy wrappers, used lipstick tubes, hair ties, juice straws, every little odd thing collected in each box. There were your old shoes, ones that you had thrown out before you had even met Yoongi.
On the far left was a shelf of books. There was also a chair with a reading light. You looked closer, and found that the books were Virginia Woolf, Charlotte Bronte, and a few other authors you exclusively read. They weren’t from your own collection; they had the seal of the district library on them. Leafing through the pages, you found out that you had borrowed every one of those books at some point in time. Your signature was on all of them. So was Taehyung’s. The dates showed that Taehyung had borrowed them long ago. Long before Yoongi came into your life.
There were more boxes, more things to go through. But you were drawn to the turquoise colored crystal trinket box that was right at the center of the room. You reached out and took it, the cool crystal sending a subconscious shiver up your back. You opened it slowly, and your jaw dropped.
Nestled in it comfortably were your and Yoongi’s wedding rings. They sparkled and winked at you, catching the light concentrated by the crystal they were placed in. You were holding them, not knowing what to feel, when you heard Taehyung’s muffled voice.
“Y/N!”
Your heart turned cold. He couldn’t catch you at the basement. It was incredibly creepy, and you had no idea what to do with the sudden sensory overload. You almost dropped the crystal box, hastening to replace it. Out of the corner of your eye, you saw a framed photograph.
You. With your parents. It had been hanging in your childhood home.
Forgetting about the man calling your name, you reached over and took the photograph. The glass had not a speck of dust. It had been wiped so clean that it gleamed. You stood there, quietly sobbing, not sure how to deal with everything, when soft footsteps stole behind you.
“Y/N?”
He was carrying Ha Neul over his shoulder. “Shh, she’s sleeping.” He beckoned to you, inviting you into a group hug. You silently sidled over to him, crying into his shoulder.
“Sh, baby, she’s fine. She’s fine. It’s okay.” He patted your hair, kissing the top of your head. “Here.” He passed your daughter to you.
You cuddled your sleeping child, all the worry easing away. You held her against your bosom, chest heaving with the force of your sobs. Her sleepy little fingers clenched and unclenched, finding purchase at your shirt.
“Taehyung… all this? Why didn’t.. how.. I never knew…”
“It’s alright,” he repeated, soothing you. “We’ll talk about it later.”
The wetness of his elbow soaked a red patch on your shirt.
“You’re bleeding,” you hissed, pupils wide with horror.
“Uh, yeah,” he said, attempting to draw the injured hand away. It didn’t really matter. Because he was with you.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
Taehyung was sitting on the couch, staring into the space. He hadn’t meant for you to see the memento room. It made him feel embarrassed. His cheeks were hot. He was fanning himself with his hands when he heard your light step.
“Taehyung?”
He gazed at you, no words filling the silence that stretched over several seconds.
You took a step forward, unsure. “Why- the flowers- how long-“
He patted the couch, motioning for you sit down. When you silently glided to the couch, he took your hand in his.
“Now, tell me, baby. Ask me anything but take a deep breath first.”
Man, breathing was so difficult. “I saw you at the cemetery.”
“Oh.”
You stared longer, hoping for another word to fall from his lips. “Why? Every Wednesday? What do they have to do with you? Why do you-”
He blinked, clearing his throat. “They gave birth to you. They deserve to be worshipped. Centuries of destined ancestry and lineage led to their making you. They gave you to this world. They gave you to me.”
You were taken aback. “And the room? Those things there? You stalked me?”
He scoffed lightly. “I loved you. Still do. Always will.”
“But wasn’t it Yoongi you wanted to destroy? You…“
He squeezed your hand. “He was an obstacle. Nothing else. I was blind with hatred, angry that he’d taken you away from me.”
“Why didn’t-” you forced yourself to breathe. “- why didn’t you let me know? Even before I dated Yoongi… Why?” Your voice broke. You would have probably declined, but who knew, you might have even agreed to go on a date with him.
He simply sighed. “Thinking about roads not taken seldom gives you peace of mind.”
You blinked back the tears. “And Woolf? You read Woolf?”
“It is all rather pointless and second-rate without you,” he quoted, flashing a boxy smile.
You didn’t know what to say. It was impossible to love Taehyung. He had killed Yoongi. He had almost drowned Ha Neul. But…
Ha Neul peeked her pretty head around the door.
“Mommy, can I play with baby Jae in the nursery?”
“Yes, you can, sweetheart.”
She ran away happily.
He had saved Ha Neul from the kidnapper. He had taken a bullet to protect your daughter. It was all so crazy and complicated.
“So,” he drawled, breaking into your thoughts. “Do you think you can love me?”
“No.”
He nodded and bowed his head. He hesitated before asking the next question. He feared hearing something he wouldn’t like.
“Maybe you could learn to like me?”
He held his breath as you thought about it.
“I –“
Your words hung in the air, unspoken, when the sound of guns going off echoed throughout the mansion. Taehyung jumped up, drawing his gun from the holster, and pulling you behind him.
“Stay back, Y/N,” he said, rushing towards the door. “Don’t come out until I call for you.”
A bullet whizzed in through the window, hitting a framed picture and shattering the glass.
“Down, stay down,” he shouted, bolting through the door. He stood there for a moment, hesitating. Turning on his heel, he ran back to you and knelt on the floor. Cupping your cheeks, he kissed you hastily, as if he were scared that you would disappear the next second.
“Y/N, don’t move,” he urged, shaking your shoulders until you nodded in response.
He was out of the door the next moment, before he could hear you shriek urgently:
“Ha Neul and Jaemin! What about the babies?”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
Taehyung ran towards the source of the gunshots. He knew it was from his own guards. He knew the sounds of the rifles by heart. But who were they shooting at?
The sounds grew louder and louder, and he ran up the stairs in hot pursuit. There he was, dressed in all black, the man responsible for all the chaos.
Taehyung ground his teeth. He should have expected the asshole to show up sometime. He hadn’t pegged him to be one of the vengeful types, but here he was, proving his assumption wrong.
The guards were all pointing their rifles at the man, but the indecision was palpable.
“Don’t hesitate, just shoot!” Wo Bin cried, egging the guards on. “Casualties are unavoidable in battles.”
The guards looked at each other, fingers still unmoving on their triggers. They needed someone from higher up in the chain of command to issue an order.
Taehyung calmly walked onto the damp terrace floor, the click of his shoes enough to instill reassurance in his guards.
“Let Wo Bin go,” he said, addressing the man holding a gun to his aide’s head. “It’s only you and me. We’ll sort it out between us.”
The man cocked his gun, pressing the muzzle firmly against Wo Bin’s head.
“Y/N and the children, where are they?”
Taehyung tilted his head to the side, rolling his tongue into his cheek.
“Let him go and I’ll take you to see them.”
The man only snickered in response. “I wouldn’t trust you with a penny. Bring them here or I’ll drill holes into his head.”
Turning his gun so the muzzle was facing the sky, Taehyung took a step forward.
“Now, Namjoon, you know you aren’t capable of-“
Kim Namjoon removed the gun for a split second to fire a bullet straight into a guard’s chest. The guard toppled over like a tile of dominoes.
Bringing the gun back to Wo Bin’s head, Namjoon snapped at Taehyung. “Yeah?”
“Alright, alright. I’ll fetch them.” Taehyung turned to a guard, and the man scurried away to fulfill the order.
“How did he get here?” Taehyung barked at Wo Bin, who was still trapped in Namjoon’s hold.
One of the guards moved forward cautiously, reaching Taehyung’s side.
“Wo Bin was cleaning up after Se Jong and his gang, sir. Half our manpower was out in the field assisting him. He… dropped by at Klammer Institute, alone, on his way back. He left his gun at the security desk for frisking.”
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Taehyung kicked the pebbles scattered on the rugged floor, overwhelmed with anger. Damn Wo Bin for going out and getting caught unarmed. By Kim Namjoon of all people.
“Just shoot me, boss,” Wo Bin said, his voice steady and calm. “Don’t think twice.”
“Shut up, Bin-ah,” Taehyung snapped. He wasn’t losing his best man and his family in a single night. Not to Namjoon; Not to anyone.
“Listen, Namjoon. Don’t involve the rest of them in this. It’s just you and me. Man-to-man.”
“Namjoon!” your voice cut through the cold night air. Jaemin was gathered to your chest, and Ha Neul’s little hand was secured tightly in yours.
“Y/N! Come on over here,” Namjoon shouted, gesturing to his side.
“Oh no, no, no,” Taehyung said, firmly planting himself in front of you. “You have to kill me first.”
“No!” you screamed. “The children! Think about the children! Stop!”
Namjoon bit his lip, glowering at his rival. “Get rid of the guards, then. We’ll see how much of a man you are without a gun. Without your army of gunmen.”
The barb in his tone got to Taehyung, and he shouted at his men to get the hell out of there. He turned to you, yelling at the top of his lungs.
“You! Get back downstairs and send a guard to prepare Namjoon’s coffin.” Ha Neul winced at the shout and tugged at your hand urgently.
“Mommy, I’m scared.”
The guards filed out of the terrace, encircling you and the children so you wouldn’t try and make a run for it. They settled themselves on the stairs, waiting with anxious expressions and bated breaths.
You huddled with the children on the sofa, whispering soothing words to Ha Neul and reassuring her as best as you could.
The three men on the terrace were left alone at last. Namjoon knew that Wo Bin was trained in combat. Wo Bin had been a Captain in the Army before his discharge. The man wasn’t Taehyung’s commander-in-chief for nothing.
“Drop your gun,” Namjoon said, brandishing his weapon at Taehyung.
Taehyung complied wordlessly, dropping his gun, and kicking it away. Mustering all his strength, Namjoon whacked the gun against Wo Bin’s skull, the blunt force knocking him out completely.
“It’s just you and me now, huh?” Namjoon said, kicking his gun away to the side.
“Honestly didn’t take you for the fighter type, Namjoonah,” Taehyung goaded, settling into a boxer stance.
Namjoon charged forward, landing a solid punch in his rival’s ribs.
“Enough chit-chat.”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
“Y/N!”
It was a high-pitched scream; in a voice you knew only too well. There was a sickening sound of glass crashing somewhere to the left of the building.
“Y/N!” this time, the yell came from the stairs, a deathly hush replacing the babble of the guards’ murmurs. The men parted silently, letting the wounded man stumble down the steps one at a time.
“Sweetie, hold your brother’s hand tight until I come, okay?” you whispered to your daughter, running up the stairs to meet him halfway.
“Namjoon!”
His face was ghastly, there were cuts all over his eyebrows and jaw. Blood dripped down his brows in a steady trickle. He was wheezing, all the wind knocked out of his lungs. A few guards rushed past you up the stairs, jostling each other in their hurry.
“Namjoon,” you repeated, kneeling on the steps. “Did you- did you…”
He coughed, spitting blood in the process. When he finally wiped his mouth, he simply nodded.
“He’s as good as dead.”
“What?!”
Without a second thought, you dashed up the stairs, not heeding Namjoon’s cries of dissent.
“Y/N, no, come back!”
── ⋆✩⋆ ──-
The guards were all clustered at the edge of the terrace, and they silently let you pass, letting you see the sight for yourself.
Kim Taehyung was sprawled out on the ceiling of the greenhouse, broken shards of glass jutting out of his body. The fall from the terrace had sent him crashing onto the glass. There was no support under his back, only the metal frames shielded him precariously from falling to his death.
His eyes had been flickering back and forth, waiting to see you. And when you came at last, a small smile graced his features. He was losing too much blood too fast.
“Y/N, come back.”
Namjoon was standing behind you, not minding the hot glares he drew from the guards. “It’s time. Come, let’s go.”
Taehyung’s mouth was twitching, and the glass had turned into red glinting blades with all the blood. His legs and hands were jerking uncontrollably, but his eyes never wavered from you.
You felt Namjoon’s hand on the small of your back.
“It’s going to be okay,” he whispered, gently turning you away from the ghastly sight. He had taken one step forward, pulling your arm, when you shrugged free.
“No.”
Namjoon’s mouth set in a straight line. “What?”
“Get him help, please! I can’t leave him to die. I can’t!” you pleaded, your words tumbling out fast. “Please, just save him. Please.”
The guards looked at one another, and a man cleared his throat.
“Mrs. Kim, ma’am, we tried to help but Mr. Kim waved us away before you arrived.”
You snapped your head to bark at him:
“Now I’m telling you, get that man all the help he needs.”
Everyone rushed into action, until only Namjoon and you were the ones standing frozen on the terrace.
“Really, Y/N?” Namjoon said, disgusted. He barely tried to conceal the contempt in his tone.
You puffed up your chest and looked at Namjoon in the eye.
“Yes, really. I am not a killer. Neither are you.”
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
Namjoon’s doctor was stitching his eyebrow up when a nurse came looking for you.
“Is Mrs. Kim here?”
“Yes?”
You had to admit that you were terrified. Utterly terrified of what news she might be bringing.
“The surgeon will be briefing you about Mr. Kim’s surgery in a few minutes.”
“Yes, thanks. I’ll be there.”
Namjoon exhaled, nodding at his doctor. He took your hand, squeezing it tight.
“I’m with you. Y/N.”
You stared at him, remembering all the hot insults he had thrown at you over the years. He had been mean and cruel to you whenever you had chanced to meet him in social gatherings.
“How did you come? I thought you had pegged me as a gold-digging whore.”
Namjoon winced at your words. He had been wrong to judge you. But he was gracious enough to own up to his mistake.
“I’m so sorry, Y/N. I am sorry I behaved so badly. I was wrong and I am heartily ashamed of myself for not trusting you. I am sorry I didn’t honor Yoongi’s faith in you.”
You marveled at his fierce loyalty to Yoongi. Your husband would have been immensely proud of his friend.
“But how did you realize? I had no way of contacting you or anyone else.”
Namjoon nodded, agreeing. “Kang Minsook, the prosecutor, called me last year and told me that he had found about Bong Ju, Yoongi’s manager who went missing.”
He ruffled his hair, squinting at the window. “He said that there was something off about the whole case and told me that Bong Ju knew something more. But he was missing, there was no trace of Bong Ju anywhere.”
You didn’t interrupt, choosing to listen in silence. He went on.
“I hired a detective to find out Bong Ju’s whereabouts. I was notified that he was back in the city for a brief time, but he vanished again. But as it turned out, I needn’t have hired a detective after all.”
“What do you mean?” Your curiosity was thoroughly kindled.
“Bong Ju got in touch with Minsook, saying that he had found someone called Seung Jo in Malta. I learned that Seung Jo had once been your chauffeur and had mysteriously disappeared too.”
You felt blood rush to your cheeks on hearing the name. But you let him continue without interrupting.
“I went to Malta and got hold of Bong Ju. He told me he had gone there to find out about Seung Jo. I talked to Seung Jo and Bong Ju, and finally realized what Taehyung had been doing to you over these years.” He looked at you with soft eyes. “I am so sorry that you had to go through all that alone, Y/N.”
You were at a loss for words. So many emotions were pelting at you, making it hard to breathe.
“I…” you looked at the sincere face gazing at you. “It’s okay now, Namjoon. I am grateful that you came when you did.”
You didn’t have any grudges against him. You rubbed your nose and looked at the corridor teeming with elderly people.
“I have to go to Klammer and see Ma tomorrow.” Taehyung had kept you from visiting Yoongi’s mother for some reason only known to him.
The nurse returned, walking up to you briskly. “The surgeon is waiting, Mrs. Kim.”
Namjoon whispered softly, “Ready to go?”
You shook your head. “I- I don’t know.”
“Hey,” he said, tucking your hair behind your ear. “I’m gonna be there with you, okay? I won’t let anything happen to you.”
You nodded, summoning a bit of courage from the universe.
“Yeah, I’m ready.”
── ⋆✩⋆ ──--
The surgeon looked stern, and you felt like you were going to be sick. Clutching Namjoon’s hand tight, you drew closer to the surgeon, heart hammering away so hard you thought you were dying.
“Mrs. Kim, the surgery went well, the patient is stable for now.”
Your breathing grew raspier.
“But…”
The nerve in your temple started pounding in fear.
“There was a complication, his spinal cord was damaged too much…”
Namjoon’s hand was going numb with how tightly you were gripping it.
“… and he stroked out in surgery, causing him to be paralyzed completely.”
The stunned silence hung around you like a smothering wet blanket, muffling everything else.
“Paralyzed? You mean he can’t-?”
“I’m truly very sorry, Mrs. Kim.”
Namjoon saw that you had gone mute, and he stepped in to ask the surgeon some questions.
“Can he talk?” you heard him ask, and the doctor shook his head.
“Speech therapy can help….”
You zoned out again, unable to take any more.
✧ ═════ ✥.❖.✥ ═════ ✧
“Are you sure about this, Y/N?” Namjoon asked, looking at the papers in your hand.
“Yes,” you beamed, smiling at him. “You are the best person to do this. I’ll join in and do my bit as the Chairperson, sure, but what the company needs right now is you. I know you have that fire in you, Namjoon.”
He smiled, his dimples popping out.
“I want the Min empire to return to its formal glory,” you said, passing the papers to him, “Before Min Ha Neul is of age and inherits it. She’s going to be the next Min to sit in her father’s office.”
Wo Bin had set up a therapy room in Taehyung’s mansion, overlooking the garden. You held the rails tightly, gazing at the butterflies flitting over the flowers.
Behind the one-way glass, Kim Taehyung was in his wheelchair, struggling with gripping his pen.
Ha Neul was tiptoeing on her tiny little feet, trying hard to reach the paints on the shelf. The nanny helped her lift the paint set, and she clapped her hands in delight.
“I’m so happy,” she squealed.
Her nanny smiled mildly. “Oh, really? And why is that?”
Ha Neul considered the question seriously.
“Daddy lets me paint his face.” She glanced sideways at Taehyung. “And he lets baby Jae sit on his lap.” She put her finger on her lips and beckoned her nanny to come closer. “I thought daddy hated me. He always shouted. He always went away.”
She stole a glance at her father again. “But now he is here all the time. And he doesn’t talk.” A huge gummy smile lit up her face. “And I paint his face.”
Taehyung had speech training all day. It was agony to fail at uttering the simplest of sounds. Whenever he tried to speak, it came out in a croak. The drool accompanying it humiliated him. He couldn’t bear to be reduced to such a state. He almost wanted to give up trying to speak, just to save himself the embarrassment of letting you see his spittle running down his chin.
Physical therapy took up a good chunk of his time too. His legs were completely paralyzed; but his hands had very limited movement. He couldn’t grip a cup, but he could hold a pen if he tried long enough.
“You can do it, Mr. Kim,” the therapist said, encouraging him to go on. “You already wrote so many letters, you can write one today too!”
Taehyung was screaming obscenities inside his head. He was able to write just one alphabet per day. Just one! The pen kept falling out of his stupid fingers, and he wanted to scream till he went crazy. It had taken him 7 days so far, to write something so simple.
The nib tore through the paper, bleeding some ink and smudging on the side of his palm. He had finally done it. He had produced a wobbly, crooked ‘U’.
The therapist took the paper like a proud parent, waving it in joy.
“You did it, Mr. Kim! That’s such a great job!”
Taehyung wanted to kick the man’s balls. All the exaggerated joy was making him paranoid. He wondered if the therapist was actually mocking him.
His eyes swung to the one-way glass, and he saw you deep in discussion with Kim Namjoon. There was a hatred burning inside him so hard that it seemed to roll off his skin in waves.
── ⋆✩⋆ ──-
“So, Wo Bin is gonna be the next mafia kingpin, I hear,” Namjoon said. “I believe Taehyung already named him his successor.”
You shrugged. “I have no problem with him as long as he does his thing without poking into my life.”
Namjoon’s scar became wobbly as he raised his eyebrow. “You really don’t mind? The man’s a fricking clone of Taehyung.”
“Well, he considers Taehyung family. So, I guess he considers me family too. He is good with the kids at least.”
Namjoon’s phone buzzed, and he reached for it in one quick flash.
“Ha Ni?” you asked, referring to his girlfriend.
“Nope. Not Ha Ni. We broke up long ago. There’s no one, in fact.” His eyes were scanning his phone screen. A slow smile spread over his face. “Guess what?”
“What?” you asked, the energy catching on.
“Jung Hoseok just texted, he’s coming back with his wife and daughter. I sent Kang Minsook to help him out of all that tax fraud stuff, and he’s finally out of the mess.”
“Oh!” You couldn’t help the squeal of joy. “Oh my God, Joon that’s wonderful! Thank you so much!”
You threw your arms around him, squeezing him in a tight bear hug. Namjoon butted his forehead against yours, gazing at you fondly. On some impulse, he bent his head down, his plush lips brushing against yours.
Before they could touch properly, you pulled back, shaking your head.
“I’m sorry,” you breathed, “I’m just- I’m not… I’m sorry”
Namjoon’s eyes were tender. “Hey, don’t worry. I understand.”
── ⋆✩⋆ ──-
Taehyung boiled in rage when he saw Namjoon bend his head to brush your lips. He looked at the paper rustling in front of him. It had taken him eight days. Eight fucking days to spell it out. The bitterness smoldered in his chest, spilling into the pupils of his eyes.
A rush of wind caused the paper to flutter, and it flew down to the floor. Taehyung’s eyes focused on the lopsided letters.
I LOVE YOU 
His therapist snapped his head up from his position on the floor. He had been massaging Taehyung’s feet when he saw it happen.
Taehyung had just twitched and moved his left foot.

Kinkmas 2020: Day 10
Prompt: Degradation w/ Kabuto
Genre: Smut/18+ || Tags: Degradation, Restraints, Dubcon, MindBreak, Dirty Talk || Characters: Kabuto Yakushi, Female Reader || read it on ao3 here
Tumblr media
this fic contains dubcon themes! if you aren’t comfortable with that please don’t read!
“It’s really too bad, (Y/N). You were going to be so useful to Lord Orochimaru. But I suppose even the most useful objects become unserviceable after time. Though there might be one more function you can serve. You want to still be valuable, don’t you?” Kabuto grinned down at you, brushing the back of his hand down the side of your face.
From your position strapped to the medical table you nodded desperately, unable to verbally answer thanks to the gag in your mouth. Kabuto laughed at your reaction as he pulled the IV out of your hand. The crushing news that you were unfit to host Lord Orochimaru’s spirit had you feeling defeated and distraught. Naturally, you were looking for any opportunity to prove you still held worth to one of the Legendary Sanin and now that Kabuto was offering just that, you weren’t about to let it slip through your hands.
“Yeah, that’s what I thought, you little slut,” the cheerful tone of his voice contradicted the demeaning words coming out of his mouth.
His hands ran down, roughly grabbing at your bound tits making you wince against the gag. The noise only encouraged him to do it again, twisting your nipples as he tugged them. Then he drew his hand back, slapping them hard and making your back arch against the restraints. The silver-haired man slid his hands behind your head, through your hair and to your surprise, undid the gag. Your drool covered rubber gag was discarded to the floor, allowing your pants and noises to fill the room.
“Kabuto…” your voice was hoarse as you called out his name in little more than a moan.
“Who gave you permission to speak? You think just because I took your gag out it means I want to hear your voice? Let me make one thing abundantly clear- your only use now that you can’t host Orochimaru is to be a cock sleeve. Got it? You think you can be a good little cum dumpster?”
You went to open your mouth and respond before clamping it shut and nodding quickly. After gaining a new reason for living you weren’t about to ruin it now. Kabuto smiled at your answer and gave you a quick ‘good choice’ before untying your bound legs. The feel of blood rushing back to your lower limbs had you flexing them to take advantage of the full relief it gave you until strong hands grabbed your knees. He forced your legs to stop their stretching and instead spread them wide, giving him a perfect view of your cunt. Without waiting he pushed two fingers into you and grinned.
“Already soaking fucking wet I see. I’d expect nothing less from a cock hungry whore like you. Look at you, squirming just from my fingers sliding into you. You’re just begging to be fucked full of my cum, you desperate slut.”
He added a third and fourth finger in quick succession, fucking you with his fingers and not caring if you were adjusting to them. If you had known this was to be your fate, you would have given up being a potential host for the snake man long ago. Kabuto pulled his fingers out and licked his hand clean, being sure to make eye contact with you as he did so. Then, without much warning, he pulled his hard cock from his pants and pushed himself into your waiting pussy. You leaned your head back against the hard table and moaned at the delightful stretch as he bottomed out inside of you, his hips pressed snugly against yours.
“What a fucking slut, taking all of my cock in just one go? You truly were made for this, you nasty fucking girl.”
His hips slowly pulled back and his cock nearly left you before he rammed himself back in, making you gasp and pull at the restraints still around your arms. The action seemed to remind him of the restraints as he soon removed all of them from you. Maybe in an act of weakness, maybe in an act of mercy, he’d never tell. It’s not as if you really cared either, the only thing on your mind was the cock fucking in and out of you. Your arms wrapped around his neck and his hands gripped your hips hard. He fucked you harder, thrusting in and out of you with little concern, only focused on giving your cunt the load of cum it so desperately begged for. The feeling of his cock dragging along your walls was nearly enough to drive you wild and you could feel by the tightening of your lower stomach that you were going to cum just from his cock if he kept this up.
Nails boldly raked down his back and surprisingly you weren’t scolded, so you did it again, earning the most delectable moan from Kabuto’s mouth. But you don’t get something for nothing and he moved his hands up from your hips back to your tits where he again roughly tugged on them. The action was quite fairly an eye for an eye because as much as his tugs hurt, they also felt so good. His hips stilled for a moment, his cock nearly about to fall out before he snapped forward, ramming himself back into the hilt. Again he did this and you moaned loudly, making him grin as he sped his pace up. Warmth spread all over your body as you neared closer to your orgasm, Kabuto’s disgusting words only edging you further.
“Listen to you, you sound like a bitch in heat. Is that what you are? A cock hungry bitch in heat, in need of some hot cum inside of her? Answer me!”
The permission to finally speak and your mind melted, barely able to remember what words are as you whined out, “Yes! Yes that’s what I am! I just need your cum inside of me!”
“Yeah? That’s what I thought. You nasty fucking cumslut. Is my little cumdumpster going to cum just from feeling a cock in her pathetic hole?” His hips snapped with vigor and maybe if it wasn’t for the way his fingers caressed your skin you would have been convinced the silver-haired man absolutely loathed you.
“Mmmm, yes, I’m gonna cum! Please let me cum!”
“Go ahead and cum all over my cock, you bitch. Make your cunt even sloppier, I’m sure the look will suit you.”
As if you really needed any more convincing to cum all over his cock, but regardless your legs shook and your toes curled. Your pussy clenched around him and you screamed in pleasure, juices flowing around him and making the sound of your hips slapping together even more pronounced. Kabuto’s grip on your hips tightened and his face scrunched up and reddened as his own orgasm quickly approached. He was amazed he was able to hold back as he fucked you through your high, but the view was reward enough. Now that you had mostly come down, he let go and shoved his hips into yours and held them there. His deep moans sent a shiver through you and not long after his hot cum filled your insides. You sighed in content at the feeling, make Kabuto exhale in laughter as he slowly pulled out, watching as his cum trickled out.
“Is my little cumdumpster satisfied?”
“Mmmm, no~! Fuck me again, sir!”
This time he laughed louder, a devious grin on his face, “Now that’s a good girl. Perhaps I could persuade Lord Orochimaru to keep you. After all, I do believe you’ve shown your worth.”
hope you enjoyed! remember likes & reblogs help me reach more people! :D

Little Pet Pt Ten. 💋
Ending.
Nsfw.
Warnings. Blood. Stabbing, guns.
Tumblr media
The hallucinations wore off after three hours. You could see clearly now and think again. No one was in the room with you besides the dead plants so Kai must have left with Nemoto at some point. You tried to loft your hands but your wrists were still strapped to the table. You could feel rough indents from the tight straps every time you tugged against them. You can endure a little more torture … for MrShigarakis sake.
Kai returned after a while, walking around the table watching your eyes follow him . He paid no mind though, even stopping to pick up each surgical tool to inspect them then place it back down. The clicking of the tools on the glass table made your fingertips flinch . Just pick one, get it over with…
Click
Click
Click
“Pick something!” You couldn't take much more . The sound was like nails on a chalkboard . Every tick made your whole body flinch and the stitches in your stomach ache. Kai put his scalpel down to turn to you , brow twitching slightly.
“Are you yelling at me? Telling me what to do? You want your stupid quirk back right?”
“You're not going to actually give it back…”
Kai reached into his jacket pulling out a gun and pointing it to your neck, pressing the barrel against your cold skin. “I had actually planned to return it to you with this. Because i'm curious to see how it reacts to quirk enhancers.. but now.” He set the gun down with the tools, the loud click sent a wince throughout your body.“You can wait longer.”
The door opened and Mimic came in as his tiny self and climbed up the table to sit with the tools and gun, picking up each one to look at it . Again. And again. And again.
“Mimic will keep you company till you're ready to behave” he waved his hand taking his leave.
Click
Click
Click…
Sweat fell from your forehead , each click made your toes flinch. Your breathing got heavy and you shut your eyes tight . Enduring. As best you could.
•••
At the hideout everyone was ready to go, Kurogiri had a warp gate open and Toga was swirling your blood around in a blood vial , her smile all the way up her face. Twice had a girly backpack over his shoulder and his hands on his hips, Dabi was about to step through the warp gate but Shigaraki grabbed his arm stopping him. Dabi groaned looking over his shoulder to see his Leader staring at Toga.
Toga jumped in place drinking the blood, she turned into you posing with her arms up. “How do i look!!!!”
Twice told her she looked like a slut and Dabi rolled his eyes. Shigaraki stared till Dabi shook his arm free.
“Boss. Lets go get the real one”
Shigaraki nodded slowly stepping through the warp gate with everyone, Twice waved before jumping through to Kurogiri.
••
Click
Stop it…
Click click.
Knock it off….
Click.
“STOP. MIMIC.”
Thud. It was the gun.
Tears fell from the corners of your eyes. It was constantly clicking , non stop for an hour and a half. He never let up , every now and then he would pick the gun up . It felt like every ten minutes he would pick it up and look it over granting you a couple seconds of silence. But everytime he put the gun down you screamed, yelling, crying , begging him to stop. He never did though, never even looked at you.
Click
Click
“Stab me”
Mimic was about to put the scalpel down but stopped to listen to you. You didn't even respond to the sweet silence anymore.
“Mimic stab me with that tool.”
Click.
“Kill me.”
Click.
“Please.” Twitch
Click.
“I'll do whatever you want”
Mimic left the doll appearing next to the glass table stretching . He joined you next to the surgical table scanning over your body. Your breathing was heavy under the white surgical sheet you had on. Your fingers finally stopped twitching to the noise and your eyes were very wide.
“Whatever I want?” He asked standing by your head running his fingers through your hair.
You nodded up at him then looking at the table then back to him. “But you need to stab me after, in the thigh. With that scalpel.”
He unzipped his jeans fishing his cock out and leaning over to grab the tool you wanted so bad. “But I thought you said to kill you?” He leaned over your forehead rubbing his cock in your hair.
“Kai will just bring me back, please, i just want to feel something. Anything. I want to feel you too”
“Oh?” He moved closer to your mouth, turning your head to the side. You licked him tugging at the restraints on your wrist . Mimic moaned reaching out to your restrained wrist, unhooking it for you. You reached up to grab his shaft and he let out another moan.
“Make sure you leave no trace..” he stabbed you in the thigh and your body jerked , you gagged around his cock coughing.
It's alright. It's alright. Just wait. Wait for the right time… you reached up to Mimic pulling him down till his head was near your chest impairing his vision. Your hand slid from his body to your thigh. You fought through your tears and burning pain in your thigh to keep him distracted, no matter what it took.
•••
About 5 minutes earlier Toga and Twice had ran into the Chisaki house as you causing all sorts of chaos distracting the members . Dabi slipped in going the opposite way of Toga and Shigaraki followed him.
They both sneaked around the hideout eventually finding their way down to the underground . Cement walls and long hallways, they checked each door finding nothing. Just empty rooms. Shigaraki was getting impatient . Where were you ? You're in so much trouble when he finds you..
A scream alerted them and both men followed the noise.
•••
Mimic was still leaning over you, nursing his cock down your throat . You couldn't breath but you were almost there. You had yanked the scalpel out of your thigh , your whine muffled enough for Mimic not to hear you. You slid the tool under your neck grabbing it with your restrained hand cutting the restraints off.
Mimic moaned pushing more of himself all the way down your throat. He's close, you've gotta hurry. You opened your left eye to see his chest hovering above you, his eyes were closed and he started to hump slightly. You flipped the scalpel around shoving it right into his balls then his chest.
Mimic screamed out falling back and onto the floor holding his side and his groin. You shot up fumbling with your ankle restraints.
“YOU GODDAMN BITCH” he tried to get up.
You fell off the table , your damaged leg giving out under you . You reached for the table and it fell with you. Blood fell from your hands as you searched the broken glass for the gun. You crawled looking everywhere cutting up your knees and legs . Mimic was dragging himself to you and your hand hit the gun. Quickly you turned it on yourself right when the door was burned down.
Dabi and Shigaraki ran in to see the situation. Mimic grabbed you and you pulled the trigger. The last thing you heard was Mr.Shigaraki’s voice and Dabi yelling.
••
You woke up in your bed all bandaged up and in a pair of grey sweatpants and a shirt . You felt foggy and your arms felt like they were being stabbed. No one was in the room with you but you could hear bickering and sarcasm. You reached down to touch your thigh feeling a bandage wrapped around it. Could you walk? Probably not but you needed to see him.
Your leg gave out once you got up causing you to fall to your knees. Very slowly you pushed yourself up limping till you got to the wall. You leaned on it to support yourself once you left the room. The bickering got louder the closer you got . Your arms were hurting bad by now and you didn't know why.
Could it…? Only one way to know.
You peered over the corner to see everyone except Mr. Shigaraki. Where was he? Was he okay?!? You didn't want to make yourself known yet so you limped to the door that led to your garden. The door was open a bit making it easy for you to nudge it open. You saw him standing by your garden staring down at it, the tabby cat that you made friends with sitting next to him.
Quietly the door closed behind you and the cat looked over meowing .
“Shut up.”
Meow.
“I said -“
“Mr...Shigaraki.”
Shigaraki turned so fast you didn't even see it . He stared for a very long time as if you were a dream or his mind playing a trick on him. Your leg gave out again and Shigaraki rushed over touching your face with four fingers . His eyes wide and his free hand shaking .
“Pet..”
“Yes.. Mr.Shigaraki.”
“What the hell .. were you thinking” his free hand cupped your cheek , his pinkie outreached.
You giggled, crying a tiny bit. “Protecting you. I … i love you MrShigaraki..”
the villain clicked his teeth looking away to hide his faint blush.
You wanted to hug him but your arms .. really hurt.
“Mr.Shigaraki. .. can i ask for something”
“Excuse me?” He looked back, folding his arms. “Ive got half a mind to lock you in that old room for a month.”
You giggled at his answer. “The sun. Please. I just want to see something. After that I will accept any punishment you have for me.”
He brought you out of the shade and over to the garden where the sun was . When those rays hit you your arms stopped hurting, thorns started to appear all over your arms in little stubs . You took in a deep breath standing up on your own . The bandages falling off you revealing healed skin. The garden grew tall and pretty and you had vines coming out of your hands wrapping around your arms. You looked over to see Shigaraki standing now. You had tears in your eyes.
“MR SHIGARAKI!!!! ITS BACK!!! My quirk is back.!!!”
He hugged you, not caring if your thorns stabbed him. You squeezed him tight crying .
“Y/N..”
he looked down at you , his face red. “What?”
“My name.. is Y/N..”
Shigaraki lightly gripped your cheek , rubbing his thumb on your lips. “I'm still going to call you Pet”
You nodded laughing saying that was fine too. You quickly gasped when his lips touched yours . The vines unwrapped from your arms and around Shigarakis instead. You cried hard kissing him back, leaning into him.
Shigaraki pulled away too look at the vines then at you. “Im still going to punish you, Pet. But i need to think of something else. I cant have you in that room now. “ You agreed hugging him.
“Pet.”
“Yes Mr. Shigaraki?”
“Im glad.. your okay. I love you too”
•••

Hi hi, Love! 😊🌻❤Thank you so much for the request, also sorry for making you wait sooooooooo long! 😳😳 also its been a hot minute since ive done a match up so forgive me if its not as good as the previous ones😭🙈😱😱😳Hope you have the best day! and i hope you enjoy this, sending you all the hugs! @shower-wizard​
So I match you with…………. Mitsunari 
Tumblr media
You had just saved the ‘all so great Nobunaga’ from the raging fires at the Honnō-Ji temple. As such, he decided to reward you by granting you the title of princess and allowing you to spend the rest of your days living in the lap of luxury in his castle. One would think being offered such a unique reward would at least provoke the slightest bit of emotion in you yet none crossed your features. 
Your resting bitch face and calm, cool demeanour caught everyone’s attention, raising a few suspicious eyebrows among the warlords. Predominantly those of Hideyoshi who was convinced that you were hiding something behind that blank expression. 
This man DID NOT TRUST YOU. This, of course, caused him to keep a very close eye on you, even more so when you had befriended one of his closest vassals, Mitsunari. 
This angel took a massive liking to you from day one. 
Mitsunari could sense that you were a big old sweetheart even with that stern expression resting upon your lips. He wasted no time at all, beaming at you from across the room on your first day, even offering to show you around. You gave the man a small nod and followed after him as he took you all over the castle showing you everything from the kitchens to the library.
You couldn’t help but gravitate towards Mitsunari. He was always wearing a bright sunny smile, making you feel welcome without being overbearing. You loved that he was calm and quiet as opposed to the loud Masamune who had been pestering you from day one. 
He was always so kind and thoughtful, popping in to visit you and bringing you small little thoughtful gifts. Once he found out you were a fellow scholar he was beyond overjoyed, his eyes lit up in pure delight, and since that day he couldn’t help but bring you new books every day. 
The pair of you would spend hours discussing book recommendations and suggestions, and Mitsunari would always be bringing you one or other new book to read. He loved to watch the way your eyes would light up whenever he would clumsily give you the book, saying that it was one of his new favourite. Oh and his heart always melts on the spot when you come by his room later that day to return the book, all while happily telling him how much you adored it.
He quickly picked up from your various tea dates, that you were rather clever, and absolutely loved to engage in a more intellectual conversations with you. 
The thing you adored the most about this sweet ray of sunshine is that he respects your boundaries and slowly but surely managed to wiggle himself into your heart.
The day the two of you cuties got close and truly befriended one another, was the day that Mitsunari’s cat went missing. 
You had been feeling rather uninspired with your drawing and art lately, so you decided that a change of scenery was in order to gain some much-needed inspiration. You slowly made your way to a secluded part of the castle gardens and instantly felt inspired to draw it. It was a lush green garden, filled with various vibrant flowers, and in the heart of this secret garden was a small crystal clear pond. 
You found a wooden bench and sat down, enjoying the calm serenity of this mystical garden, when suddenly the bushes beside you started to rustle. You stumbled back falling off the bench with a thud as the rustling sound only got louder. 
You looked over at the bush in fear, too paralyzed to move. When out of nowhere you heard a small meow. You curiously watched the bush for a few more moments when a small grey blob came flying out of the bush, tumbling straight to your face. You squeezed your eyes shut and let out a little squeak in surprise.
Slowly opening your eyes, you saw two big green eyes staring back at you. It was a small grey kitten that had jumped from the bushes to playfully attack you. You sighed a breath of relief and carefully reached out your hand as to not further startle the already on edge kitten. The little kitty cautiously inched closer to sniff your hand before nuzzling his tiny head in your palm. The small cat purred in delight as you moved to gently stroke his soft fur. You smiled over at the cat who seemed to be loving all the attention. 
While you played with the kitten, Mitsunari appeared seemingly out of thin air, concerned painted across his face. He rushed to your side to ask you whether you had seen his beloved cat and the moment he spotted the kitten nestled in your arms his panic expression morphed back into his angelic smile, “Oh there you are kitty!" 
He crouched down beside you and joined you in stroking the soft cat’s fur. You couldn’t help but blush when the pair of you looked up at the exact same moment to lock eyes. "Thank you so much for taking care of my dear Kitty.” A slither of a smile made its way to your lips as you observe Mitsunari pick up ‘Kitty’ to examine him for injuries, “You see me, I was so lost in thought while walking back to my room, that I didn’t even see poor Kitty’s tail sticking out from the bottom of the bookcase." 
The poor angels face morphed into pain as he recalled the hiss and pained meow Kitty let go of as he sprinted off, startled by the sudden attack. Mitusnari looked at his cat, apologetically, "I’m sorry I stepped on your tail and scared you.” As if all was forgiven, the little kitten rubbed up against Mitsunari and purred. The scene before you was so sweet you couldn’t help but beam at the two cuties.
The moment Mitsunari saw the slighter of a smile pulling at the corner of your lips, he was beyond overjoyed. The pair of you spent the rest of the afternoon together chatting and playing with the little grey kitten. Although the moment Mitsunari spotted the small rash start on your hands, his eyes filled with worry.
The second you saw the man’s gaze fall onto your hands, you immediately hid them away, not because of the rash but instead because of your own insecurities. “Oh I didn’t mean to offend you, I’m sorry for staring, it’s just, are you alright? that rash looked rather sore.” His eyes were filled with genuine concern and his voice held no malic. 
You stared at the man in confusion, you had thought that he was staring at your pinky, silently judging it, “You weren’t looking at my pinky?” He shook his head, “Why would I look at your pinky? Has the rash spread to it as well?” his eyes were now staring down at you innocently as he held out his hands for you to place your small one in his.
You slowly brought your hands forward to show the man, “This is why?” It was now Mitsunari’s turn to be confused. He carefully took your hands in his to examine it, bewildered expression crossing his features. “Your hands are so small and cute, I love them. I honestly have no idea what is wrong with your pinky.” The way his amethyst eyes shone with pure innocence told you that what he had said was true.
He clasped your hands in his, as lilac eyes gazed at the small bumps littering your skin. “Now, about this rash?" 
You had explained to him that despite your love for cats that you were actually rather allergic. His eyes widened as he pulled you to your feet gently taking hold of your hand. He led you to his room where he pulled out a jar of salve that Ieyasu had made for him a while back, "I was also fairly allergic to Kitty’s fur when I first got him, but I found that this salve that Ieyasu made really helps." 
He delicately rubbed the cream into your hands, lost in the same trancelike state he would be in whenever he would read. 
It was then that Hideyoshi burst through the door, accusing you of seducing his vassal. Cue your stone-cold bitch face returning.
If it weren’t for Mitsunari’s calm presence, you might have lost it. You were brimming with anger and frustration with the man, for loudly bursting into the room and throwing around accusations. It was then that Mitsunari stood up for you and started singing your praise to Hideyoshi. He told the man what a wonderfully kind soft-hearted person you were and then proceeded to carefully lift up your hand to show him the remnants of the rash on your skin that was quickly fading thanks to the healing properties of the magical salve.
His eyes widened when he had realized he might have misjudged you based off of initial appearance and impressions.
Over time, you had come to love spending time with Mitsunari. Often the two of you would simply just be in the same room and do your own thing. He would read, and you would draw or play music. The two of you were inseparable. Always together doing one or other fun activity. 
Your love for shooting and archery actually encouraged Mitsunari to get his nose out of the books more and join you for practice, which surprised many of his fellow warlords.
Mitsunari also loved to listen to your music on the keyboard/piano, this boy will happily sit and listen to any and every melody and song you produce, all while boasting about it to his fellow warlords. His absolute favourite is when you practise in his room while he reads. He love the way the soft soothing melodies wash over him like an ocean of calmness. 
The two of you honestly were like two lovesick puppies when you were together, yet both of you too oblivious to the others feelings, landing you in the best friend zone. That is when mama bear Yoshi decided to take things into his own hands. 
Through the weeks of knowing you and spending time with you, Mitsunari has only grown into a better person. All the warlords had noticed a change in Mitsunari. He was less absent minded, and he actually started taking better care of himself, thanks to your gentle guidance. After witnessing the positive changes in the castle’s resident angel, the whole castle gets involved in your affairs, trying their best to push you two together. 
It wasn’t until one day during a banquet, when Ieyasu decided that enough was enough after watching the two of you, chilling in the corner of the room enjoying each others company and the soft music that played in the background. Mitsunari knew you hated loud noises and crowded, so during these dinners, he would make a point of it to take you to a place in the room that was more chilled and relaxed. After watching the two of you cuties laugh and discuss your favourite books obliviously, Ieyasu finally decided to say something, "Hey you two fluff for brains, can you please stop dancing around the fact that both of you obviously love each other and just get on with it, listening to Masamune and Mitsuhide bet on the two of you like some pack horses is getting irritating.” And with that, the blond porcupine rolled his eyes, scoffed and left the room in a huff.
Both of you were furiously blushing at the porcupine’s comment. You dared to glance up, to take a sneak peek at Mitsunari’s face, and that’s when you saw his eyes brimming with love and affection for you. “You love me?” he looked up at you earnestly, and the second you gave a small nod, he leapt forward to crush you in the warmest of hugs. “I’m so happy! I love you too!”
The two of you giggled and spent the rest of the evening as usual. In fact the only thing that had changed between the two of you since transitioning into a relationship was that Mitsunari would give you an endless amount of cuddles and kisses. After you told him how touched starved you low key were, he was more than happy to show you just how much he loved you through small loving touches and gestures.
This man absolutely loves to hold your small hands in his, in fact he loves your hands. Whether the two of you are out in the markets together or simply enjoying each other company during banquets, he will insist on holding your hand.
This man is also a sucker for comfort, sit on his lap and rest your head in the crook of his neck while he reads and he will melt into a puddle of goo. 
HE loves to just hold you in his arms and nuzzle into your hair. Beware this man will attack your face with sweet, playful little kisses. His favourite being small ticklish Eskimo or butterfly kisses.
The two of you cuties could often be found nestled in each other’s arms in the secret garden where the two of you first befriended each other. Both enjoying the warmth and peace of the other company as you would share a lakeside picnic.
I hope you enjoyed this dear!❤❤🌻

Ship: Sam Winchester x Reader, Dean Winchester (platonic)
Warnings: Blood, drama, hellhounds, minor language, fluff,
Summary: While trying to help someone who made a deal with a crossroads demon, Y/N is injured by a hellhound, and rushed to a hospital by Sam and Dean.
————
“Calm down, Alright. The goofer dust will stop the hellhound until we can figure something out. Just stay in the circle.” Sam advised. The poor woman nodded with wide eyes and did as he said while dean and I burned my glasses with holy oil so we could see the hellhound.
“How’s it going over there?” Sam called once he finished making the circle of dust. I held up the glasses to my face, taking a quick look through the lenses. “Looks good to me. I think we’re ready.” I called back. The growling of and gnawing of teeth at the door grew louder, and we could hear the hound throwing itself against the bolted doors in an attempt to get inside.
“Good. We’re out of time. Hand them over.” Dean said with an outstretched hand. I shook my head quickly and planted my feet.
“Nuh-Uh. I got this. My glasses, my kill. You guys have been babying me for months now, I’m doing this.” I replied firmly. Dean didn’t listen and marched over, attempting to take the glasses from my hand. I quickly put the glasses on instead, and a second later the door to the room split open.
“Shit.” Sam muttered, pulling out his knife and standing in front of the woman while looking frantically around the room. “Y/N, where is it?”
The hellhound began to stalk through the doorway, teeth bared and eyes glaring. I pointed at it with my finger, my other hand clutching the knife. It began to slowly move towards the woman, or more specifically, Sam. He was guarding her, and something told me that the hellhound wouldn’t care if it had to rip open two people instead of one.
“Hey, over here you ugly mutt.” I called to try and get it’s attention. When that didn’t work, I tried whistling loudly. The hellhound continued to advance towards Sam and the woman, and my heart started to pound even harder in my chest. I took a few steps towards the hellhound, and it hardly even noticed that I was moving. Brandishing the knife, I decided to try and take the opportunity.
When the hellhound was about ten feet in front of Sam, I could see it lowering itself and getting ready to jump at him. I charged towards it, ready to stab it in its ribs when it’s ugly head snapped in my direction. I slid to a stop as it bared it’s teeth. Sam and Dean could tell that something was wrong, but it was too late. In a split second, the hellhound knocked me to the ground, slamming my head against the stone floor and crushing me under its weight. I could hear Sam shouting distantly, but the hellhound barking an inch from my face was all I could make out. Then it lifted its black paw and raked down my side with its claws. I screamed in pain as the dog dug long gashes from my ribs down to my hipbone. I slashed at the hellhound with my knife in an attempt to get it off, but the hellhound only dug it’s other claw into my thigh and howled in my face again.
I screamed in pain and threw my head back, but I couldn’t get it off of me no matter how hard I tried. I could already feel the blood oozing from my side and onto the floor, but the hellhound just got ready to tear into my flesh again. At the same moment, Sam charged the hellhound and buried the knife in the beasts side. It howled and fell off of me, collapsing onto the stone floor.
I took a gasping breath and saw Sam’s own chest heaving above me. He dropped the knife and was crouching next to me a second later, concern tightening his face in a way I had never seen before.
“Dean, go get the car!” Sam bellowed. I could barely hear Dean sprint out of the room as my vision started to go spotty. I tried to push myself up onto my elbows, getting a glimpse of my blood-soaked shirt before Sam gently pushed me back down.
“Don’t sit up, it’ll only make the bleeding worse.” He advised as he pulled out a square of gauze from his pocket and tore off the wrapping. He lifted my shirt and pressed it onto my wound, and I winced in response. He apologized under his breath but kept pressure on my abdomen.
“Is it dead?” I mumbled, looking up at Sam with worried eyes. We were both sitting ducks right now, if it was still somehow alive. Sam did his best to smile.
“Yeah. It’s dead. Let’s just focus on getting you to a hospital, all right?” He looked around to see if Dean was back, but then heard the impala’s car horn outside and let out a sigh of relief.
“Alright, this is gonna hurt like a bitch, but I’m gonna have to carry you.” He warned. I nodded and gritted my teeth, preparing myself for the pain. Sam scooped me up in his arms, doing his best to support me behind the shoulders and knees. I saw stars for a few seconds and grabbed onto his shirt instinctively.
“Sorry.” He apologized again, trying to make me more comfortable. “Keep pressure on your stomach.”
I did as he said and grit my teeth as he hurried out of the house and towards the car. Dean already had the back door open with supplies on the seat. He was back in the drivers seat with the engine running, ready to slam on the gas pedal the second we were in the car. Sam made it to the impala a few seconds later and carefully set me in the backseat before climbing in after me.
“Step on it.” Sam said breathily the second the door was closed. He started fumbling for the roll of bandages that Dean had prepared, but I had already bled enough to make everything feel fuzzy. The gashes in my stomach were a lot deeper than the ones in my leg, but both were continuing to bleed profusely. Sam started with my leg, wrapping the bandages around tightly to try and keep pressure on it. The more serious wound was definitely my stomach, and I was having a hard time keeping pressure on it with the increasing fatigue I was facing.
“Sam.” I croaked out, trying to get his attention. He continued to bandage my leg with his face twisted in concentration before responding “almost done.”
He paused for a second, biting his lip in thought. “Alright, uh, I’m gonna have to sit you up for a second. Bear with me.” He carefully sat me up, earning another pained groan from me. I leaned back against his shoulder as he quickly wrapped the bandages around my midsection. The entire time he was quietly muttering apologies, with the word ‘sorry’ being used at least a hundred times. He then lowered me back down to be sitting with my head propped on his lap. His hair hung down into his face as he looked down at me.
“Hey. You holding in there?” He asked quietly. I did my best to nod in response but it only seemed to worry him more. He put his hand over mine to add more pressure to the wound as he became more worried about blood loss. I reached my other hand over, twisting some of his flannel in my fist.
“Sam.” I tried again, but my voice seemed to give out on me. I could feel myself slipping into unconsciousness and tried so hard to fight it, but it was no use. I had never fainted from blood loss before, and I was terrified. My vision began to fade out but my heart began to pound even more as panic set in.
“Y/N? Y/N, can you hear me?”
My hand was still latched onto his shirt when I succumbed to unconsciousness.
—————
My entire body felt so heavy. My veins felt like they were pumping cold lead instead of blood, and I couldn’t bring myself to lift them up. It took a bit of effort, but eventually I was able to force my eyes open. I groaned and blinked a few times, caught off guard by the lack of light in the room. I was in a hospital bed, based on the soft beeping of the monitor next to me, and the IV attached to my arm. There was a faint light on a table nearby, but it was still difficult to see in the room.
That was when I noticed the figure next to the bed. Or...more accurately......slumped over the side of the bed and snoring. Sam’s hair had fallen into his eyes as his chest rose and fell, but his cheek was pressed against his arm which he was using for a pillow. His one arm was stretched out so it was only a few inches from my hand, and I gently reached out to hold it when the door opened and Dean tiptoed inside.
“Y/N, you’re......you’re awake.” Dean said quietly, smiling when he noticed. He set down the backpack he had slung over his shoulder and made his way over to the bed.
“Hey.” I said, apparently a bit too loud for Dean. He put a pinger to his lips and nodded to Sam with his chin. I tilted my head slightly in silence before whispering “why can’t we wake him up?”
Dean tiptoed over next to the bed before sitting in the other empty chair next to me and leaning forward. “You have no idea how long you were out, do you?” He whispered.
I shook my head in response as he nodded. “You were unconscious for about two days-“
“Two days?!” I interrupted dean, once again a bit too loud. Sam stirred a little bit in his sleep, but luckily for me didn’t wake up. Dean gave me a warning glance before continuing.
“Yeah. Two days. Doctors said you had a concussion and had practically gone into shock. That and the blood loss, well.....it wasn’t looking good for a while. We honestly weren’t sure if you were gonna pull through. So yeah, that means that Sam hasn’t slept in.....” Dean trailed off and rubbed the back of his neck. “Well, lets just say it’s been a few days.”
I nodded in understanding and looked back at Sam. I couldn’t help the small smile that pulled at my lips when he let out a particularly loud snore. Dean nodded and looked over at Sam too while shaking his head. “I’ve never seen him so worried.”
“Really?” I asked, my cheeks flushing pink. It was hard to imagine him actually being so concerned about me, but then I thought back to the car ride. He really did seem worried. Dean nodded and scratched his cheek with a yawn.
“Come on, don’t act surprised. I’ve seen the way you two act around each other.” Dean chuckled quietly. “Speaking of, the reason I went back to the bunker was to get Sammy some clean clothes. He’s refused to leave since we brought you here, but uh, he needed something new to wear. The old ones were a little.....bloodstained.” Dean mumbled the last part and looked at me out of the corner of his eye.
I hadn’t even noticed that Sam was missing his usual layers. He was only wearing a t-shirt, no flannels or anything. He also didn’t look like he had showered since I had gotten injured. The blood had been scrubbed from his hands, but his hair was greasy and unbrushed. He looked like a college kid, honestly. Dean yawned again and rubbed his eyes before standing back up.
“Well, now that I know you’re alright, I’m heading back to the motel and actually getting a decent nights sleep. Call me if anything happens, alright?” Dean put a hand on my shoulder, and I nodded back. He gave me a small smile and made his way out of the room as quietly as he could.
Unfortunately, the door creaked on his way out, and Sam started to stirr again. It seemed like he was able to gain consciousness long enough to realize that he had fallen asleep, and he sat up with a groan. His eyes were puffy with sleep and his hair was sticking up at odd angles, but he seemed to slowly wake up.
“Hey.” I whispered, reaching out and taking his hand as gently as I could.
“Hey.” Sam mumbled with another yawn. I smiled back at him and he rubbed his eyes. After a few seconds he met my gaze again, freezing for a moment and blinking as his brain caught up to what he was seeing. His eyes widened and seemed fully alert now.
“Oh my god.”
He shot up in his seat and leaned forward, pulling me in for a hug. It stung a little, but I didn’t mind. I wrapped my arms around him and laughed a little bit as he hugged hard enough to almost knock the air from my lungs. “Careful, Sammy. I’m damaged goods.” I teased.
Sam pulled away but kept me at arms length with his hands on my elbows. He sat down on the edge of the bed with a smile. “Right....sorry, I just....i was worried.”
“Dean told me.” I grinned. God, it was good to see him again. The way his smile reached his eyes almost made me forget all about the stitches in my stomach and leg.
“Right.....” Sam nodded slowly, glancing over my face with a relieved grin. Then he shook his head. “Uh, do you need anything? Painkillers? I can get a nurse.”
“I’m fine, Sam. Really.” I laughed slightly before wincing when laughing pulled on my stitches. I quickly stopped and put a hand over my ribs before smoothing his hair with my other hand. “Everything’s fine.”
He closed his eyes when I ran my fingers through his hair, smiling a little to himself. I could tell that something was on his mind, but couldn’t tell what. He looked down at the sheets and picked at his fingernails absentmindedly. “Listen, I wanted to talk to you about something.”
I nodded silently to get him to continue. Sam took a deep breath and did that thing that he does where he lifts his eyebrows while he clears his throat. “So uh, I’ve had a lot of time to think these past few days, you know? And I guess I uh......I realized that, uh......you know, I was really worried, so I.....um.....”
He paused to rub the back of his neck, then continued. “You know, we’ve been on the road for a while. I’d like to think that we’ve gotten kinda.......close......but I kinda didn’t realize just how close until I thought we were going to lose you. So, anyways......I......uh.....”
“Sammy, don’t hurt yourself.” I smiled. I knew exactly where he was going with this conversation, and I could tell that he had no idea how to say it. He didn’t need to say it though, I already understood. “You look exhausted. Let’s talk about that in the morning, okay?”
Sam nodded in relief and let out his breath. “Yeah, that sounds good.” He agreed quickly. “You’re supposed to be resting, anyways.” He stood back up and started to sit back down in his chair next to the bed when I stopped him.
“Hey, those things aren’t very comfortable. Come lay with me.”
“What?” Sam asked innocently, raising an eyebrow. He looked back at me as if we wasn’t sure how to respond.
“Come on, I’m not gonna offer again. Come get some rest.” I scooted over in the bed to give him some room, and after a minute of deliberating he made his way over. He slid under the sheet next to me and got himself comfortable. He stayed a few inches away from me, probably not wanting to intrude on my personal space.
For someone so smart, he could be so naive.
“Hold on, this isn’t very comfortable.” I frowned teasingly. I then turned on my side, throwing an arm over his chest and using his torso as a pillow. He seemed a little surprised, but then I could almost feel his entire body relax. His other arm slowly found its way around my shoulders and I let out a content sigh.
“Much better.” I grinned and looked up at him. He was smiling widely back at me but trying to hide it. I could also see the fatigue that was weighing down his eyelids and how hard he was fighting to keep them open. I got comfortable with my cheek pressed against his chest and allowed my eyes to drift shut. Sam yawned in response and rested his chin on the top of my head.
“Goodnight, Sammy.” I whispered.
He started snoring again in response.

LONG JACKET A DESTIEL-ISH SERIES
Over the last few years, I’ve seen some of the craziest shit hunting with the Winchesters and their angel, Castiel. But this story right here? This isn’t about monsters. This isn’t about the battle between good and evil, heaven and hell. I understand all that.
It’s people I don’t get. People are crazy. And we do crazy things when we’re in love.
Tumblr media
PART IV - UNDERSHIRTS
Summary: A lot of investigation, a little bit of a lead, and some personal time between Sam and Y/N. Warnings/Tags: Seriously, more awkward flirting, mentions of missing persons, investigations Characters/Pairings: Castiel, Dean Winchester, Sam Winchester, Female!Reader Word Count: 1,656
Tumblr media
“This doesn’t make any sense.”
In a rare display of emotion, Sam tossed the dossier onto the dash of the Impala. “Why in the hell did five random dudes just… disappear?”
The Impala rolled around a corner as Dean turned down a residential street outside of Salem proper. “Maybe they were rushes? Initiation gone wrong…”
“They’re twenty-seven. If you’re going back to college at that age, the likelihood of joining a fraternity is very slim,” Sam replied. “I doubt a group would even rush them.” His chin dropped into his right hand, elbow propped on the sill of the passenger door. “None of this makes sense. I don’t even think it’s a case.”
There’s a reason I don’t play poker. Dean saw my reaction clear as day in the rearview mirror. “What’s up, Y/N?”
“I’m not sure anything up our alley is going on here,” I managed. “So I dunno. Vampires? Draining young, healthy guys and discarding the bodies?”
Beside me, Castiel shrugged. “It’s unlikely. There’s no other vampire behavior. These people went missing in the middle of the day.”
Sam whipped around to face him. “What?”
“The last time they were seen was the middle of the day,” Castiel stated. “You read the reports, right? That’s the only common thread I found.”
“Son of a bitch.”
Dean’s exaggerated gasp rent the air as he gawked at Sam, then laughed when he saw Sam’s flat stare. “I can’t believe it, the great Sam Winchester, investigator extraordinaire, missed something.”
“Shut up. It’s not like you noticed either,” Sam retorted.
As hard as I tried to hold back, unbidden laughter shook my shoulders. Between Sam’s irritation—I never wanted to annoy him, but as of late, it seemed relatively easy to get under his skin—Castiel’s impatience, and Dean’s one-track mind, my ribs burned with the effort to keep quiet.
“Hey,” Dean admonished as he slowed the Impala in front of a pale blue house. “I don’t hear you offering up anything besides lame-ass vampires, Ms. Y/N.”
“That’s because,” I started as I opened the door, “I bet you won’t like my best theory much.”
A metallic crunch echoed through the neighborhood as Dean exited the Impala and rounded the front-end. “Oh, I’ll take it,” he continued. “Twenty bucks says you can’t piss me off.”
Halfway up the walk to the house, I rounded on him and said, “I don’t think there’s a case here, and I think Detective Williams’ called you to get laid.”
If anything, Dean was, at most, mildly offended. He knew we weren’t dumb. Maybe he had hoped we wouldn’t figure it out. When the subtle pink blossomed on his cheeks again, he attempted to side-step me for the house, but Sam grasped him by the shoulder and pointed at me.
“Pay the lady.”
That indeed seemed to piss him off. Dean shoved a hand in his pocket, tore out his wallet, and shuffled through it. Then he smacked an old twenty-dollar bill into my hand and grumbled to himself as he stalked past.
“I think there’s actually a case here,” Castiel said over my shoulder.
“How so?”
He gestured to the house directly ahead. “I think we’re about to find out.”
Tumblr media
Too many hours in and out of the car had stiffened my legs and knotted my neck. Not to mention all the sinking sofas, worn-out chairs, and leaned on countertops at five different interviewed homes. But it had all been worth it.
“Groceries.”
Dean kept repeating himself the entire way back to the motel.
“Groceries.”
“Dean, we get it, the last thing they told anyone they were going to do was grocery shopping,” Sam barked. “Why is that so weird?”
When the Impala lumbered over the driveway and into the motel’s parking lot, I decided it was time to play the game. “They all went to the same store. Could have been one of the employees.”
“That’s… a possibility, sure,” Sam started as he exited the car. When I followed, he continued. “But it’s just as likely that they were randomly targeted on the way to the store. Or out of the store.”
“Which store?” Castiel asked at the door.
Dean unlocked it and strode through. “L&M Foods.”
I had made it across the motel room and withdrawn my pajamas from my bag when Sam said, “We should take a look around tonight. When there aren’t so many people around.”
My chin slumped to my chest. “I guess I’ll sleep later.”
Castiel rushed to my side and touched my forehead with no warning. Warmth spread through my entire body, but when he withdrew his hand, I still ached. “You need to rest. We can check in the morning.”
Sam regarded Dean, who shrugged, then turned back to me with a worrying twist to his lips. He closed the space between us, then asked, “You gonna be okay, Y/N?”
The aching muscles in my neck screamed out for relief in the nearness of Sam. But I kept that to myself, despite my staring at his massive hands. “I need to get some sleep.”
Either he could read minds or body language. I’d bet on both. Sam’s soothing touch rubbed my shoulder. Perfectly innocuous, and every bit the caring friend he seemed determined to remain.
Except Dean knew otherwise. At least, I assumed he knew how I felt. When I spotted his crooked smile, I dug as deep as humanly possible for every ounce of resolve to not blush.
“Cas and I can—,” Dean started, but he froze when he turned to Castiel. Again.
Castiel had removed his suit jacket, tie, and button-up before anyone had noticed. “I… thought we weren’t going anywhere until tomorrow morning.”
To that day, I had never seen Dean’s face turn so red so quickly. And then it finally dawned on me. Where I had saved face—albeit a fraction—when caught pining for someone, Dean openly blushed, stared without reservation at the object of his affection.
Look, I am the first to admit that I know next to nothing about flirting. Hell, half the time, all I did was irritate the piss out of Sam. But Dean and Castiel knew fuckall. And at that exact moment, as Dean stared at Castiel in suit pants and an undershirt, everything made sense.
“You know, now that I think about it,” I started far louder than I had intended. Dean startled as he averted his gaze, and Sam snatched his hand from my shoulder. “We should get a look tonight.” Though I tried to fight it, a wide yawn interrupted my statement, and Sam’s touch returned.
“No, Y/N, you need rest,” he insisted. “You two can go tonight yet, right?”
Castiel shrugged back into his shirt. “I don’t need to sleep, but are you—”
“I’m fine!” Dean barked as he grabbed his jacket and rushed out of the motel room.
The dejected sigh from Castiel as he tossed on his suit jacket—he had forgone the tie, left in a pile on the table—followed him to the door.
“Hey, Cas.”
“Yes, Y/N?”
“Give him some time,” I said. “He’ll figure it out.”
He smiled at that. “Thank you.” Before heading through the door, he regarded Sam with an equally fond smile, then left.
When the door closed, I turned to Sam, but he spoke first. “Are you sure you’re gonna be okay?”
The perfect opportunity had presented itself, and I wasn’t about to waste it.
“You know, riding in the backseat of that car all the time really does a number on my back.”
“Oh,” he quipped as he sat on the bed. “Here, sit in front of me. The only spot in the Impala that is remotely comfortable is the driver’s seat.”
Well, shit. Can’t say I didn’t try. I did as he said and sat on the edge of the bed. Deft hands and precise thumbs started in on the knots of my shoulders with expert accuracy. “I guess you would know.”
“My neck is constantly killing me,” he agreed. “I usually take a couple tennis balls in a sock to my shoulders. Hurts like hell, but the relief is worth it.”
A momentary silence filled the space as my mind slowed to nothing and sleep threatened. Before long, I slumped over, and only Sam’s gentle shake woke me. “Sorry. Castiel wasn’t joking. This exhaustion is fucking terrible.”
Sam squeezed my shoulders one more time before motioning towards the bed. “You should change and get some rest. When we get back to the Bunker, I can really take care of these.” He prodded the lingering knot at the base of my neck.
“I could return the favor, too,” I suggested as I stood.
It wasn’t until I turned to him and found a blush on his cheeks, similar to Dean’s, that I understood. “I mean, only if you want, just thought I’d offer, you know, it’s fine if you don’t, I get it, it’s kind of weird—”
“I would enjoy that very much.”
If I hadn’t been so damn tired, I might have made another move. But sleep beckoned—no, demanded—my attention. I offered my best beyond-exhausted smile as I turned for the bathroom and, once there, shut the door.
I didn’t bother locking it. I knew Sam wouldn’t come in unless I explicitly asked. And even then, knowing how I’d burned the wick at both ends for far too long, he would merely drag my dead weight into bed to sleep. And sleep I would. Dear Lord, I never knew the human body could experience such draining exhaustion.
After a quick change of clothes and a brushing of teeth, I left the bathroom and found Sam at the table pouring over dossiers. His brief smile faded the second he returned to the profiles, eager to get to the bottom of the case.
As I curled into bed, I convinced myself that he wanted to get back to the Bunker sooner than I did.

Been a long time coming. And of course, it starts off with a sickfic because I’m a basic bitch.
~~
When first Peter woke up that Saturday morning, it was with a harsh, raspy cough that had him almost toppling off his bed. He moans and sinks back into his bed a moment later, rubbing a hand across his sore chest. He tries to curl back underneath his covers but another cough that summons more than just mucus has him stumbling out of bed and practically crawling in his haste to get to the bathroom, barely making it in time to deposit the remains of his meager meal from last night into the toilet. 
He was hunched over the toilet for a few minutes, spitting up a mix of yellow, thick mucus and bile until he fell back onto the floor in a heap. 
Aunt May must have been at work. Probably agreed to work a morning shift after her overnight one when one of the other nurses called in. Otherwise, she would have been banging on the door at the moment, demanding to know what was going on. Peter tried to imagine her soft, cool hands caressing his cheeks or running gently through his hair. She’d wipe his face clean with a warm washcloth before helping him back into bed with no less than two dozen kisses to his cheeks and forehead. 
A whimper escaped through his lips and he tried to shove it down. He was fifteen years old. Practically an adult. He couldn’t go running to his aunt because of a measly cold. 
“Just suck it up, Peter, geez.” 
That was easier said than done. He tried to sit back up and nausea hit him with full force. He clasped a hand over his mouth, willing himself not to throw up again as he slumped against the wall. A few minutes later he tried pulling himself back up by holding onto the counter and only managed to get one wobbly leg underneath him before he collapsed back down. The excursion had beads of sweat rolling down his body and coupled with his fever, his pajamas were now practically soaked. 
He felt gross. Weak and gross. Anybody that knew he was Spider-Man would be disgusted at seeing him like this. He might as well be a fraud. Worthl-
Bang!
He jumped at the abrupt sound. Bleary eyes blinked up at the doorway. 
“A’nt May?” He called out weakly. 
Heavy, rapid footsteps approached and he didn’t recognize those as his Aunt’s. He shivered, either from his fever or the fear now coursing through his veins. Or a mixture of both. 
He groaned, reaching over to grab some kind of weapon. He couldn't fight to his full capability but he wasn’t going down without one. 
The footsteps became louder, closer and Peter could feel the bile rising back up his throat. 
It was now or never. 
In an instant, the door to the bathroom flew open and Peter screamed, holding his makeshift weapon up high above his head before aiming it towards the intruder. 
He barely registered the toilet brush flying towards his mentor and smacking him square in the face before promptly passing out.
~
The second time Peter woke up that Saturday morning, it was in a quite similar fashion to the first time around. He lurched up from the bed as his body tried to hack up a lung or two. But rather than falling back into an empty bed, a pair of arms circled around his body and a moment later he was resting against something warm and soft. 
“Hey, bud, it’s okay. I got you.” The voice whispered into his ear and despite the fog clouding his mind, Peter could instantly recognize the voice. 
“M’s’er S’ark?” 
“Well, now, you recognize me.”
“Hmm?”
“Nevermind, kiddo,” Tony replied before he was offering a cup of water to him. However, his movements were evidently too sluggish and slow, leading the man to bring the cup up to his lips instead. He sipped gingerly at the water, the liquid soothing his throat. 
“Where?” Peter asked, once Tony put the cup down. The fog was starting to wither away and he started taking in his surroundings. Because no matter how sick he was, he could at least notice that he wasn’t in his room anymore. 
“The compound. Medbay more specifically. They got you clad in their one of a kind attire as well.” Tony patted at his chest and Peter peered down, sighing when he saw the spider cartoons sprinkled across his hospital gown. 
“You had this specially ordered, didn’t you?” Peter murmured. 
“Like you even had to ask. Perfect timing on my part. Didn’t know you would be coming down with the plague so soon.”
Peter huffed, trying to slide back down but Tony’s arms were keeping him up. 
“No, not so soon, kiddo. Bruce is coming down to check on you.” 
“Tired,” Peter whined. Tony’s calloused hand smoothed his hair back, trying to soothe him. 
“You can sleep once he’s done checking you over and replacing your IV fluids.” The promise of medications overcomes the daunting idea of being poked and prodded. 
“Okay,” Peter murmurs, finally relenting before sagging into Tony’s arms. He nuzzles into the man’s shirt, not even thinking about the fact he’s wiping his snot across the man’s clothing. 
If Tony was bothered at all, he didn’t say anything about it.
His body still feels like it was run over by a couple dozen semi-trucks while his throat burns raw and his lungs wheeze with every breath but whatever medicine Bruce was giving him had at least managed to quash his nausea. 
Bruce appears a moment later, sprinting through the double doors, his white lab coat swinging behind him. 
There’s no need for introductions or pleasantries. Peter’s been in this situation way too many times. Albeit usually with him laying in the medbay bed with a stab wound or two and his mentor pacing back and forth listing out the different ways he was going to kill him. 
Bruce offers him a reassuring smile though before pulling out his stethoscope and getting down to business. 
Tony, unsurprisingly, does not let go of him throughout his check-up. Even after Bruce is done, Tony helps him lay back down and afterward cards his fingers through Peter’s curls, scratching softly at the scalp. 
“How you feeling now, bud?” Tony asks, tucking the blanket around him. 
“Better,” He answers, eyes closed.
“Good. Rest up because you’ve got a lecture coming your way after you wake up again.”
“No,” Peter whines, “Not fair. Not m’fault.” 
He can practically hear Tony rolling his eyes.
“Oh. So you didn’t go out patrolling in the freezing rain, last night?”
He opens his mouth to argue his case before backtracking and thinking of something better.
“Sleepy,” He murmurs instead, curling up on his side. It works as Tony drops his interrogation and focuses on running his fingers through his hair instead. 
He smiles as Tony’s gentle strokes lull him back to sleep.

Petunia (WCB prologue thing)
He bats his hand away from the buttons."No, no, just hold me tighter Witt." There is no change in pressure. So he pushes himself onto the other with more desperation. "Witt, please" he whines. 
"Shh." Witt hushes onto his lips and continues with a gentle hold on the others hips. Anger boils in Yogi's chest, passion fuels it and he bites Witt on the bottom lip and holds it hostage. Witt cries out as blood drips. Yogi lets go but before witt  can protest his attention is yanked abruptly to meet yogi's. Yogi's grip on witts chin will leave a bruise but that seems to be the least of Witt's problems however.
The fire has reached his bright green eyes. "Youre not paying attention to me." Witt lowers his eyes away from yogi. Yogi refuses to be ignored and yanks his chin again. Witt makes a grunt of annoyance. But meets his gaze straight on. 
Neither makes a sound, its a challenge for the other to make the first move. Unlike his usually self, yogi hesitates and his green eyes burn into witt's blue. Witt gaze is daring, its not as mysterious as he would of wished and it takes only a minute for yogi to figure out what everyone has been spending a week searching for. The traitor.
"You son of a bitch." Yogi growls still holding Witt's chin. Witt makes no sound or movement to escape. " you son of a bitch!" Yogi yells louder. He yells as if the louder he scream, the quicker itll be for the past to change. The green burns brighter but yogi doesnt use the fire on witt. Instead he throws his chin to the side and yells more. "Do you know what you've done!? Do you ever fucking think?" 
"Yogi-"
Yogi picks up a glass bottle and throws it next to Witt. Its not meant to harm him, its simply a warning.
"Shut up! You fucking idiot" he groans and buries his eyes as deep as he can into the palm of his hand. "You fucking screwed me Witt. You fucked me over and you- you- never think!" He takes out his cigerette and lighter but the lighter wont light so he throws it across the room and crumples the cigerette. 
"I dont regret it."
Yogi rounded back to him. "So I have to!? I have to regret for you? I always have to clean up after your shit." He jabs his finger at Witt.
"Nothing will happen to you Yogi, you didnt do shit." 
"Exactly Idiot! I didnt do shit! You made sure of that!" 
"What are you talking about?" Witt wraps his arms across his chest and sinks down the wall onto the floor.
"Im in charge of you and the other idiot. You only thought of yourself!" 
Witt stayed on the floor but he didnt need to stand to for the anger to be intimidating. Witt doesnt get angry. He gets annoyed, he gets fatigued, but he doesnt get angry. Its not explosive like yogis. Its silent and yogi doesnt understand it placement in the first place. 
"Yogi this may have been one of the least selfish thing ive done. Forget our line of work, that! That was evil and made us just as bad the enemy. We watched in safety while he hurt her every day. Damn the consequence I'd do it again, tell him. Make it easier on yourself.  Let amir kill me."
Yogi stopped pacing and lowered to witt slowly. "Kill you? You think, he'll kill you?"  Yogi slowly unbuttoned his shirt and made sure witt focused when he tried to turn his head away. "I would lie about it. Tell a fun story, make everyone jealous." He scoffed. The purple line glinted catching Witt's whole attention. "You left 'to search and be a good blood hound.'" Tenderly he shrugged the shirt off thin lines of bright purple and red ran in chaotic paths across his arms. Around his chest was a set of fresh gauze. "Its not just one," he laughs. "He like her, as confusing as it is." 
"Yogi-" 
Yogi shoots him a glare. " No Witt." And he continues to unwrap. "You want death? He wont give you the pleasure." The red lines grow thicker and more mared. There's purple and black and red and green and blue. But theres so much red. Witt gently pushes away the bright strands of Yogi's long hair. Yogi in turn puts it in his usual ponytail. The signs were all there. The thick jackets, the hair being left down, the clothes on whenever theyd- "dont start feeling guilty now idiot. Some of them arent just your mistakes." There were older scars circular on his sternum, but they werent scars they were burns. But it all went dark black as it got closer to where his heart should be. Over it was a single gauze taped into place. 
His body was marred with lightning and burns and scratches from beastial claws. It was a wonder he moved a gracifully as he could.
"H-how?"
"How, what? Hm? How am I still living? Amir needs me. Not me exactly but my role. And i know too much to easily replace. Who knows maybe youll take it when you know enough. He has friends Witt, he cant afford to kill. So he wont. He needs my eyes my hands my arms my mind and my body. So he makes sure it works. He assures me I'll work at the end of the day and I love him for it. I love my role and I dont try to run from it." Carefully and painfully he removes the gauze. A single glowing purple flower with crystals encrusting it are all embedded where his heart should be. "I cant run from it. There's nothing to run too. Im already dead." Witt reaches out to touch him but once again yogi bats away the hand. He forgets the wraps and puts his shirt back on and gets up. He retrieves his lighter and lights a cigarette on his second try. 
He breaths out the smoke and the worry with it. "I wont say anything. You shouldnt either. Let him keep wandering." Witt nods. "She safe?" 
"I lost her so she is." 
Yogi nods."keep it like that." And he leaves Witt to his thoughts.
