Death's Obbsession (Taekook)

Tae
I read the note again, over and over.
The harsh glow of moonlight only just makes the words more visible. I have to hold the thick brown parchment with both hands to stop it from curling back together. Each swirl of black ink is another coil that winds tighter around my stomach. The letters taper at each end, as if it was written with a fountain pen.
He was watching me sleep.
Tae
I wrote the note in my sleep, I tell myself, just like Dr. park told me to.
It doesn't matter how many times I say it or scream it into my pillow or write it down, I don't believe my own words. The letters are real. I know they are, even though no one else believes me.
I told Dr. park about the man who visited me on the day of the accident, face hidden under the shadows of his hood. Then the gifts started appearing.
I tried showing Dr. park that the letters are real, that I'm not hallucinating like she claims. In fact, I tried to prove to everyone that someone was watching me and leaving me letters. No one believed me they think it's just the ramblings of a woman gone mad. I'd take pictures of the letters, only for them to disappear from my phone. Every time I put the letters in my bag, they become lost to the void, only to appear back in my bedroom with a note that says:
The gifts he leaves are real. So are the symbols he draws on my body. I know they are.
Dr. park
You bought yourself flowers, Tae ,you just forgot about it,"
Tae
I've never been fond of flowers.
When I told her about the symbols, she explained
Dr. park
You Must have been sleepwalking and drew them on yourself."
I thought she was right, because the man never visited when I stayed with Evan, either at his place or mine. I used to wake up in the morning or in the dead of the night with Evan by my side, and my body would be free from the marks the Faceless Man would leave. There would be no letters left on my pillow or on my bedside table. No flower atop my chest or my dresser. I'd be free from the nightmares of the Faceless Man, if only for a night. Although, I'm not sure if he is a nightmare or the sweetest of dreams.
Evan was my shield against the Faceless Man.
Until my stalker stopped caring about jack's presence.
