Taehyung gripped the gun in his hand, getting out of his car and glaring at the warehouse that stood out like a sore thumb in the middle of nowhere. Taehyung had finally found them and now, there was nothing stopping him from ending all their lives. All the members of his gang stood behind him, bowing at the six men who had just arrived.

Taehyung acknowledged them all with a nod of his head, too distracted to say anything. Jungkook placed a hand on Taehyung's shoulder, giving it a tight squeeze.

"They won't get away this time." He stated, exchanging glances with all the others who nodded in return.

"Let's go....I can't wait to get my hands bloody." Taehyung mumbled before moving towards the warehouse. All the gangsters who had gathered there were determined to get this over with. They wanted peace from all the problems they had to face due to Taehyung and his rescue operation. Finally, it was gonna end.

Within minutes, the warehouse was torn apart, every living person inside was brought outside with their hands and legs tied along with a gag in their mouth. Taehyung sighed in relief, pacing in front of all the kneeling bastards. He was so tempted to just blow their brains out but no. Too easy. He planned on pulling their nails one by one and then-

"Taehyung! You need to see this!" Taehyung's head turned on hearing Hoseok's voice from inside the warehouse. He sounded desperate and...scared?

Without a thought, Taehyung rushed inside, completely oblivious to what he was gonna witness. He jogged down the stairs and into the basement, crunching his nose at the foul smell that filled the room. He frowned on seeing all the members standing around something.

"What is it?" Taehyung asked, letting them know about his presence. Yoongi turned around and looked at Taehyung with happy yet sad eyes which made him more confused. They all moved to the side and let him see for himself. And what he saw next, made his heart stop.

A girl lay on a dirty mattress with her hair sprawled across it, a number of bruises and cuts littering her face. A white ragged dress hung loosely on her thin body, making visible the outline of her ribs. Taehyung's eyes moved across her body, his heart pounding louder with each bruise that he saw. He slowly kneeled down beside her and brushed some of her hair away from her face before letting out a strangled whimper.

It was you.

A number of emotions flooded through Taehyung's mind. He felt as if all air had been knocked out of his lungs.

"She's alive, Tae." Jimin stated, patting Taehyung's back. And those were the only words that he needed. Wasting no time, he lifted your body and hugged you tightly, crying and laughing at the same time. To anyone else, he would have looked like a maniac. But he wasn't.

He was just in love.

"Y/N, baby, open your eyes. I'm here. I'll take you back home. Just open your eyes for me, love." Taehyung pleaded, caressing your cheeks.

He stilled on seeing your eyelids flutter, soft moans leaving your mouth. Slowly, you managed to open your eyes, frowning a little on seeing the man who was looking at you. Your eyes widened before you pushed and scurried away, scraping your knees against the harsh floor. You pushed yourself against the wall at the corner of the room, whimpering and rubbing your arms.

"Please go away. Don't hurt me!" You begged, hiding your face away from all the men who stood a few metres away from you.

Taehyung clenched his jaw and stood up, anger coursing through his veins all of a sudden. They must have hurt you really bad to leave you so traumatized. Cautiously, he moved closer to you, looking at you with apologetic eyes.

"Love, it's me, Taehyung. I'm not here to hurt you. See, it's your Taehyung." He said gently, giving you a soft smile as you finally looked at him. A look of recognition flashed in your eyes as you halted all your actions.

"Taehyung..." You whispered, taking in his face. Taehyung cupped your cheeks and kneeled in front of you, nodding at you. You hesitantly placed your hands on his, gazing at him with an unsure look.

With a gasp, you pushed his hands away, trying to move further away from him.

"No! I don't know you! Just leave me alone!" You shouted at him. Taehyung's breath hitched, completely being caught off guard.

You didn't know him?

Tears of frustration made their way down his cheeks, his eyes staring blankly at you. The girl he was looking at wasn't you. It was a stranger in your body. Someone who didn't know him.

"What did they do to you?"
