My Target
Attitude~⁰¹
Eric Lim/Designer
"Mr. Kim!"
???
"Oh, he is finally here."
People started talking loudly about his presence as the brunette entered the backstage of the main hall.
The staff was running here and there to make arrangements for him.
Eric Lim/Designer
"Mr. Kim! What a pleasant surprise you gave me today. I thought that you'd rejected the offer."
*chirped happily.*
Taehyung's manager gave him a smile as the brunette was silently walking towards the chair where another famous, or more precisely, his senior was sitting, with a prominent scowl on his face.
Hoseok Jung/Manager
"He just couldn't deny after your kind words, Mr.Lim."
*politely said with a beaming smile.*
Eric was in the skies just by the presence of the world-famous model and actor. He tried a lot of times to convince the actor to be his show-stopper for the International fashion show in Seoul, but for some reason, the brunet denied the offer.
But, now having him backstage, ready to be the show stopper for him, made him so happy that he even forgot about the other senior model who was about to do the job.
Taehyung silently sat on the chair as the staff quickly gave him some drinks while the makeup artist was looking at his skin tone and all.
Junsang Dong/Model
"What a show-off! If you really wanted to be the show stopper, then why you denied it the first time, Kim?"
*through his gritted teeth, though his tone was sweet... sickly sweet.*
Taehyung patiently took a long sip from his drink and turned to his right to face the other.
Taehyung Kim/Model/Actor
"They deserve my presence, Mr. Dong."
Junsang, the previous heartthrob of the country, scowled more but smiled again.
Junsang Dong/Model
"You're being so proudy, Kim. Don't fly so far, because if you're gonna fall, it will hurt like hell."
Taehyung smirked at that and waved the staff to leave him for a few minutes.
Taehyung Kim/Model/Actor
"Why so salty?"
Junsang Dong/Model
*clenched his jaw and leaned forward.*
"Salty? Well, you just destroyed everything for me. I was supposed to be the show stopper, but as always, you snatched that from me."
Taehyung Kim/Model/Actor
*Shook his head with his eyes closed.*
"You're saying it in the wrong way, Mr. Dong. They called me, but as always, you wanted to butt in my business. How can I leave it?"
*calmly, face looking emotionless to the extent, that if his fans would've seen him, they would never believe it.*
Dong clenched his fists tightly and got up from his chair. He was about to leave when he heard again.
Taehyung Kim/Model/Actor
"One more thing, stop who*ing around for money. It doesn't suit you, Mr. Dong. Try to earn fairly, if you're this much eager."
Dong turned back and was about to punch the other but stopped himself as there were many people.
He left the area while fuming in anger and that's when the designer noticed and quickly marched behind him to apologize.
Taehyung was given his stuff and his makeup was done quickly. He still had that emotionless face throughout the time unlikely on the stage, a very charming smile was plastered on his face, the same one that made the world his fan, little did they know, that the boy was totally a different human behind that mask.
He was Taehyung Kim, a heartthrob and a very famous actor and model of the time. He gained fame in a short time and was more popular with boys as well because he was always involved with action movies rather than boring, stupid love stories. Directors, producers, and designers were dying to work with him, but whoever worked with him always said 'he's so rûde'.
Hacker
"Is everything ready Ian?"
*spoke through the earpiece that was attached to the ear of the person who was sitting on a rooftop.*
Ian/Sniper
*Taking out his sniper rifle from the case, he chuckled.*
"What do you think?"
Hacker
"Cut the crap! Be ready, he might enter the stage any moment."
The sniper rolled his eyes and set the angle of the rifle, eyeing through the lens to see the stage and walking models.
Ian/Sniper
"At least, tell me the name dude. You're hiding his identity like a plague."
Hacker
"Since when have you been interested in the identity of your target? As far as I know, it was you.. who said to just take the mission without digging into their personal info."
Ian/Sniper
"Don't lecture me. You always fed me with the info of the target even when I protested. But this time, nope."
*spat and lay on the concrete floor of the rooftop, waiting for his target to show up on the stage.*
Hacker
"Whatever. Be sure to hit him right, the dealer wants him dead on the spot."
Ian/Sniper
🎵"Ah, cruel world~🎶."
*sang to which the other scoffed.*
Hacker
"Says who, the one who killed dozens of people already. Really, cruel world"
He mocked him but the sniper just snickered on that and kept his eyes focused on the stage.
Hacker
"He will be on the stage for about a minute or two, make sure to shoot during that time."
Shoot~⁰²
Staff
"Mr. Kim, you're the next."
Called him and he silently walked to the small exit that was leading to the stage. He silently watched as the other models came back from the stage and a few gasped when they saw him standing there.
He was wearing a very elegant suit, a white shirt that was embroidered on the collar, and a long slim coat that was perfectly hugging his frame. In white, he was looking like an angel, but only for the audience.
Announced behind him and then he entered the stage. His steps were slow and calculated, lips slightly stretched in a smile, eyes lightly turned into the lining of a half moon, cheekbones literally shining under the bright lights of the stage... he did look like an angel.
The audience was surprised and shocked in a good way. They weren't informed about his arrival in the show but his presence did make the show more perfect.
People started clapping for him as he reached the end of the stage and gave a pose, his victory sign pose with a wink.
All were mesmerized, even the sniper on the rooftop of the other building who was watching him through the lens, having the angel on the angle.
Ian/Sniper
"He- he is the target?"
Hacker
Yes. Shoot him on his way back."
Ian squinted his eyes and again watched the model through the lens. The boy looked mesmerizing, beautiful, and handsome to the core.. but there was something else that the sniper wanted to know. He found himself lost as the boy gave a pose with a wink and people around him went numb with their lips stretched in a hurting smile.
The loud cheers continued as the model turned on his heels and waved to the audience.
The sniper kept looking at his target but felt his hands freeze on the rifle.
Hacker
"Damn, IAN! It's time, shoot him you r@scal!"
He watched as the model finally reached the other end of the stage from where he entered before, and gave the last wave with a little bow.
Ian/Sniper
"There are heads in the way! I can't shoot!"
*snapped back on the other and watched as the model disappeared behind the curtains.*
Ian/Sniper
"Sorry, I lost the target,"
*calmly, for the person who missed his target for the very first time, he was really calm.*
Hacker
"You son of a ____."
The other cursed him nonstop as he silently packed his stuff back in the case and got up from the floor.
Ian/Sniper
"Shût up. I'm not talking back doesn't mean I can't! So, just shut the hell up."
*snapped on the other, equally angry at his stupidity of leaving his target like that.*
Hacker
"Who will deal with him now? He clearly asked for it to be done by today!"
Ian/Sniper
"Not my headache that the crowd was going berserk and started standing out of the blue! He isn't paying us to kill dozens of innocents!"
Hacker
"Don't get me started on this!"
Ian/Sniper
"I'm done, yeah. Talk to you later." *removed the earpiece from his ear and threw it in his jacket pocket.*
He was sure that he must be being cursed by his mentor and soon, by the dealer as well. It happened for the first time to him, and he, himself was very surprised. Why he felt like not shooting the boy? It wasn't like he was hesitant or felt bad. He didn't even have such feelings for his first kill, then how can he feel so after killing uncountable people?
Ian/Sniper
"I'm so done with myself as well! F*** this sh**."
*spat to no one special and stomped downstairs, his cap was hiding his upper face while the rest was covered with a mask.*
Once he was out of the building, he noticed a black Mercedes waiting for someone on the exit of the other building, where the show was still happening.
In curiosity, he stopped for a moment, and soon, someone clad in a black coat and covered face came out of the exit, another boy was beside him. A few reporters quickly tried to approach the boy but the guards stopped them as the boy finally entered the car and the car drove away.
Ian/Sniper
"Maybe, next time."
*scoffed and went to his own car which was parked on a lot, a block away from the building.*
Hoseok Jung/Manager
"But Taehyung-"
Taehyung Kim/Model/Actor
"Please, leave me alone. I want some time for myself! For the sake."
Spat on his manager who sighed sadly. It wasn't the first time, it always happened after his every show.
Hoseok Jung/Manager
"You're practically asking for a fight with every other model and actor, Taehyung. Why do you do so?"
Taehyung Kim/Model/Actor
*Chuckled darkly at that and stepped closer to the other and harshly tugged over his collar.*
"None of your business! You're my manager, so stay within your limits! No need to show me this fake concern of yours! Got it?!"
Hoseok's expression turned more gloomy on the words. He knew, that the younger was rude to everyone, but still, it always hurts the same.
Hoseok Jung/Manager
"I genuinely care for you."
Taehyung Kim/Model/Actor
*Scoffed loudly and grabbed his long coat and car keys. *
"Just go back, you're no more needed for the day. Just leave me alone."
*left his room, not before loudly slamming the door.*
Chef
"Sir. What do you like for dinner?"
The male chef asked him as he saw the actor leaving his room. But wrong timing as Taehyung grabbed the nearest vase and slammed it on the floor.
Taehyung Kim/Model/Actor
"Why you people don't leave me for a second!"
*left the house, which he never called home. But little did he know, that was the last time he was walking out like that.*
Accident~⁰³
The cold wind of the night was doing justice to his demands. Staying in an abundant place for about hours, Taehyung finally decided to drive away from this place as well.
A sort of permanent frown was settled on his otherwise flawless features. His light brown hair was happily dancing with the rhythms of the wind as he kept the window of the car open, to feel the fresh air that always felt suffocated.
He let out a sigh when his foot pressed the brakes on the same spot, the place he used to visit almost every time after his scheduled day. The only place, that gave him the needed loneliness and peace.
A puff of white mist left his lips in the cold wind of the river. He moved out of the car and straightened his coat. The sight was the same, those colorful lights of the distant buildings, those rows of flickering dim yellow, white, and a few red and blue lights... those busy roads and two or more decorated boats in the river, everything was like every time.
He could see a billboard shining perfectly with his face, showing the title and date of release of his new upcoming action movie.
But still, his heart wasn't at the usual peace. The peace, he was in search of. Letting out a groan of frustration, he started walking along the railings of the bridge, fingertip tracing the metal bars so lightly as he lightly hummed a tune.
The distant voices of the cars, horns, sirens, and the typical night breeze. To feel more of it, he closed his eyes but again, the same uneasiness made him groan.
Even after spending half an hour, he felt the same uneasiness and decided to go back to his mansion for some sleep.
The road was almost empty as the night was deeper. He silently walked towards his car and was about to open the door when something caught his attention.
Unfortunately, he was too late. Everything happened so fast, his body colliding with the car and then falling harshly on the concrete road with a thud as the blood started pooling around his head.
He tried to look around with his hazy vision, his whole body was in pain, utter pain and still, the road was empty except for the car that hit him moments ago.
Trying his best, he opened his mouth to say something or call for help, but his eyes widened when the same car started moving back again, his body rolled a bit and then a loud scream echoed there.
The same car passed over his legs twice before fading away from the road, leaving a trail of blood through its tires.
The dark sky was looking brighter before falling into complete darkness. His body was getting numb slowly as he stayed in his own pool of blood, waiting for some sort of help. His phone was ringing in his pocket but he wasn't able to do anything about that. He kept hearing the distant ringing until he heard the whistling to the complete silence.
A van was passing by the same road, filled with teenagers who were singing and enjoying themselves in the calm nights of Seoul but the van came to an abrupt halt.
One boy seethed when he got hit on the front seat.
Ken
"Hey! Someone is injured there."
Ken, the driver of the van muttered in horror while pointing his finger toward the person on the road.
All the teenagers peeked out of the window before stepping outside of the van. One of them was already calling the ambulance while the other one reported the accident.
♀️
"He looks so young. Is he even alive?"
One of the girls mumbled sadly.
Second boy stepped forth and gently shake the laying one, only to scream.
♂️
"He is Kim Taehyung! The actor."
All the teenagers quickly gathered around the unconscious actor and joined him in screaming and panicking. They've never thought to see the actor this close, also in this condition.
Hoseok Jung/Manager
"How- how's he?"
*was panting as he was running since he heard the news of the accident.*
Doctor
"We are trying our best. But-"
Hoseok Jung/Manager
"WHAT?!"
*shouted at the doctor who just came out of the OPT.*
Doctor
"He lost too much blood. Many of his bones are broken. His condition.. his condition isn't good."
Hoseok slumped on the chair heavily. His hands were shaking badly. Even when the actor was so rude to him, he was still very much attached to him.
Doctor
"Please, be strong. Pray for him. We are trying our best. Also, we need more blood."
*patted Hoseok's shoulder before walking back to the OPT.*
The hospital parking lot was now swarming with the reporters and Taehyung's fans, a few were crying, mostly girls while the others were praying for him.
Every news channel was showing only a single breaking news, news of his horrific accident.
The whole night was going like that, the operation was still ongoing and the crowd outside of the hospital only grew more.
Hoseok was sitting on the bench beside the OPT, his legs desperately bouncing up and down while waiting for any news. His phone was continuously vibrating, as he put it on the vibration. He wasn't in the condition to reply anymore, his heart was hammering with sadness for the only person, the one inside the room.
The door of the OPT again opened after 2 whole hours and Hoseok was already on his foot.
Hoseok Jung/Manager
"Doc-"
The doctor sighed and removed his mask before nodding his head lightly. Hoseok let out a sigh of relief but it was short-lived as the doctor gestured to follow him.
