DOMINATION III

Humanity

Meaning they’re getting their humanity back.

The feelings, the rush, the warmth everything can be savoured by them then.

Taehyung stared at the laughing girl in front of her. His heart beat fastening.

He didn’t know how to handle the sudden rush of emotions flooding in his body. He embraced her so tightly as if trying to calm his state.

Harin felt numb at the sudden gesture.

She felt him shivering as he hugged her more tightly.

“Did anything happen.”

“You happened” his deep whisper ringed in her ears making her face heat up. “You happened”

“Are you crying” She asked as the shivering increased.

“No, just overwhelmed.”

She just placed her hands on those soft locks, massaging his scalp softly.

“Taehyungshi”

Hearing his name, his hold tightened around her.

*God!! How much I wanna do her* he cursed himself for the unholy thought as he break their hug to see her.

And she was exactly what he had imagined.

Flushed cheeks, her shy demeanor and her biting her lips in shyness.

Her locks covering her face as she stares down blushing.

Every second he sees her, he realises how lucky he is.

Getting humanity back without any efforts only those would understand who have suffered for centuries to become normal.

“I need to go back to my classroom”

“Should I send you back home” he asks, caressing her cheek.

Harin denied in panic. “I don’t think you should take any risk”

“Just come to my room rather than this”

“Your father still hates me?”

She was caught off guard with the question. “uh~ you see you and your mates are not very likable to parents.”

She tried to make it sound as less mean as she could.

Taehyung just chuckled. “Don’t worry. I’ll then come to your room, is that fine”

His words immediately made her smile.

She tiptoed, pecking just beside his nose and runs away with all her might.

Taehyung just crouched down being dazed. A single gesture had sent fireworks in his heart, making it hard for him to calm down.

A WEEK LATER

“Today’s schedule is so hectic.” Harin groaned as made her way to the free room.

Their schedule was filled with classes till 6 that day. Luckily a free lecture was provided to where they both were going.

“I totally agree” Rachel said accompanying her.

“Your life doesn’t seem very hectic now, does it.”

Harin froze in horror as she saw Jake standing behind them blocking the door. She had avoided Jake in high school after that party feud but never in her nightmare she thought he would come to her university.

“The fvck are you doing here. Get lost” Rachel immediately snapped at him, trying to push him away as she drags scared Harin out.

“uh~uh not so fast.” He says pushing Rachel hard as he grabs Harin with the other hand.

“Leave me” Harin’s eyes immediately accumulated tears as she tries to free her hand.

“Now tell me Lee Harin, what did that fvckboy gave you that you’re with him now.” Jake’s tone had turned aggressive while his hands slowly caresses her arms.

*Taehyung please come to me* her mind only repeated one thought while she struggled to get out from the grip. “Leave me please” She desperately wriggled as the hold on her shoulder tightened.

“Maybe we should also go all the way, maybe then you’ll understand how much better I am.”

The spoken words immediately disgusted her. She bit his wrist trying to get out of his hold.

“Are we getting kinky now, darling. Isn’t this what he calls you.”

The word sounded nothing like she had felt when Taehyung would call her the name. Disgust was the only feeling she felt.

She hated that she was this weak; she was wishing somehow someone would save her.

Her eyes teared like a waterfall with her body trembling and resisting, when she felt those disgusting arms around her again. She wriggled in the hold with all of her might when she saw Jake leaning in.

*Taehyung please*

This was her thought when she was suddenly ripped apart from the hold. She stumbled back hard, hitting her back with the bench making her hiss in pain.

But nothing was more horrifying than the scene in front of her.

Taehyung was beating Jake like a rag doll. Barely seconds had passed and she saw Jake’s fac covered with blood.

This wasn’t the Taehyung she knew.

The eyes were emotionless, nothing like the one she had seen in the morning or the one that looks at her every night.

He was beating Jake without any remorse or break. His eyes screamed rage.

With every punch he delivered, Harin shrunk back on the ground.

She felt so scared as if her lover had changed into a monster in a snap.

She wanted to call him but she couldn’t face him with the rage his eyes have. She didn't want to believe her eyes which saw the horrifying scene.

As soon as she saw Jimin coming running in the class, she ran to him.

“Stop him sunbae, he’ll kill him.” She begged Jimin who’s eyes were already widened at the horrifying scene.

“Taehyung STOP!!” Jimin immediately held his hand, pulling him from Jake.

“I’ll kill this f$cker.” He shouted, struggling in Jimin’s hold.

“You’re scaring her for god’s sake STOP” Jimin shouted holding Taehyung’s chin, forcing him to look at Harin, who was trembling badly with fearful eyes.

His eyes softened at the sight. He walked towards her. “Darling”

This was it.

Harin immediately hugged him, crying out all her fears in the soothing embrace, forgetting how she herself was scared of the one she was hugging.

“Shh~ calm down. I’m here, aren’t I” He softly whispers to his crying lover.

“I was so scared.” She said between her hiccups.

“I told you I would always be there for you.”

She cried more at his words, hugging him more tightly.

“How about this, you go back home for today. Calm yourself down. I’ll meet you at the night. Is that fine.”

“yes it is.” She half heartedly broke the hug making her way out of the classroom, meeting Rachel who was panting hard.

“I ran to call him but he was already on his way to here.” Rachel explained. “it seemed as if he knew because he looked angry as hell.”

*How can it happen. How would he know*

*Who knows, I’m grateful he came*

Rachel left with her and dropped her back home.

Harin straightway ran to her room and tucked herself in bed.

She shivered in fear as she reminisced the scene again.

*He ran all the way to help me* the thought made her smile.

*he looked so angry at Jake*

*I hope they don’t misunderstand him*

She hoped for his well-being because of the incident totally forgetting that she is the root of it.

.

.

.

She flinched in her sleep because of the banging on her door.

She opened it to be met by her sister.

“What happened” her question came out in her groggy voice.

“You’re dead today. Father is calling you downstairs.” Her sister looked Hella serious.

“But what did I do”

“He knows about your boyfriend, the bad one.”

All her sleep disappeared in a second. She ran downstairs thinking if Taehyung is also there. Or worse, if her father had beaten the sh*t out of him.

She reached downstairs and saw Jake. Colour drained out from her face.

His face covered in bandages, while his one hand is wrapped in plaster.

The lady beside him was glaring at her, and she guessed that it was his mother.

And accidently she looked at her father.

If looks could kill, she would’ve been on her way to the afterlife.

“I’ll give you 1 minute. Explain.” Her father spoke in a cold tone which send her shivers in fear.

“What is there to explain. Her thug boyfriend did this to my son because he was talking to her. how mannerless she is. No wonder she is with that thug.”

“It’s not true.” Harin immediately cried out. “Father trust me it’s not true. Jake is the one who troubles me. He used to do that in school. Today also he was forcing me. I swear, Taehyungshi only saved me. Jake is the wrong one here. You can ask Rachel too.” She rambled out in fear of being misunderstood.

“What do you mean by forcing you ungrateful—

“Don’t you dare say anything to my daughter.” Lee Hyun shouted. “Be grateful that I’m not punishing your son for forcing himself on my daughter. Now get out with your son before I actually do. And if I find him near to my daughter accidentally I'll make sure that his condition is worse than this time.” He threatened in rage, his heart paining cause of the news.

Jake’s mother was shocked for a second.

Jake, however trembled in fear. He knew he wasn’t in any position to save himself. He just left the house dragging his mother along with him, who was questioning him for the truth.

Harin felt relieved for a second.

But froze when she felt a stinging pain on her cheek.

Her father had slapped her and his face showed that he was truly disappointed.

“Is that why I send you to study.” Hyun shouted. “To sleep with that thug.”

“It’s not like that, he just helped m—

Another slap cut her answer.

“I know everything.”

“It’s not what you think fath—

“I called Rachel before calling you. STOP LYING NOW”

“I-I am sorry” She didn’t know what she is saying.

All she knew was that somehow she had to remove that look of disappointment from her face.

“Out of all people, that thug is the one you chose. SERIOUSLY! Maybe it’s age for attraction but did you see how he beat that boy. What if one day he hits you too.”

“He won’t” her reply earned her another slap.

Tears rolled down as the pain seeped in more.

“His actions prove his issues and I don’t allow you to date him. That’s it” Hyun swiftly grabs his car keys and drags Harin out.

“Where are we going.” Her trembling voice made him angrier.

“To make you break up.” He said shoving her on the passenger seat. He immediately drove in speed, reaching at the destination in ten minutes.

“If you don’t want me to go and punch your so-called boyfriend, go inside right now and break up with him. I don’t allow you to see that thug ever again. 30 minutes, that’s all you have.” Hyun said, his jaw clenched in anger.

Harin rushed out to the house, ringing doorbell multiple times in hurry.

She didn’t even see the man who opened the door and went inside in panic.

“Where is Taehyung” She asked in trembling voice to the group of 2 male sitting on the couch.

“The balcony room” one of them said.

She knew the room, since the house had same design as hers.

Her panic was increasing every second.

She opened the door in haste.

There she saw him sitting on his bed, tying his shoelace, his eyes confused to see her.

Her heart sunk seeing the fondness blooming in his eyes replacing the confusion.

“Let’s break up” She let out the words with a tear.

Taehyung stilled listening to her words. Before he knew, anger seeped his veins.

“WHAT.DID.YOU.SAY” He gritted his teeth at each word.

Harin visibly gulped at the change.

She took a step back, trembling in fear.

Taehyung fisted his hands, and sat on the bed again, trying to control himself.

“REPEAT” He tries to say it calmly.

“Let’s break up” She hesitantly spoke them in fear.

*One is outside and one is here. I don’t know who’ll kill me first*

“Stop this act”

“I’m serious”

“Do you want to”

She never knew that Kim Taehyung can sound this cold too.

“yes” another tear accompanied her answer.

“I don’t like when you lie to me, Darling” The amusement and the sudden change in his voice shocked her. There Kim Taehyung was leaning on his hands in his black tee with an amusing look on his face, a sly smile and knowing look as if he is aware.

“Don’t you dare lie to me darling. I know you more than yourself.”

“I don’t think—

“Do you want it or not. THE.TRUTH”

“No”

“Then why Darling”

“Father knows now. And he is outside right now”

“Oh! Should I pay a visit to my father-in-law then”

“NO” she shouted in horror.

Taehyung chuckled at the drama.

“Why does he want that”

“Because he says you’re not good for me”

“And does my Darling thinks the same”

“I don’t want to offend my father” her lower lip trembles slightly

“Come here” Taehyung called her just like the first time.

She hugged him as soon as straddled him and started crying.

He kissed her head, trying to calm her down.

“Go to your father and tell him that we broke up. I’ll visit you in the night, okay.” He said, wiping her tears.

“I love you” he whispers with a faint but sweetest smile with the most loving gaze she has ever seen.

And she knew, it was the truth.

And she attached their lips being overwhelmed.

.

.

.

Taehyung had been in a daze since he had received his humanity back. His all emotions were out of place.

Every emotion was out of his control.

Maybe that’s why his anger had gotten the best of him, not that he regrets but that wasn’t something he wanted his darling to see.

After the fight, he had spent hours boxing in Jungkook’s room letting out all of his rage, finally when he felt a little better he decided to have a shower.

And to his good luck he was blessed with the view of his darling right after it.

But as soon as she let out the words of break up his anger slipped out.

All he could see was betrayal in his mind that how he is being thrown aside.

He would’ve let his anger getting best of him just like before, but he didn’t want to lose her twice. So he controlled and clarified.

And looks like his control did get him an award.

A ki$$ from his lover for which he had been waiting patiently. He just caged her in his hold as he moved his lips making her whimper at the new sensation.

The nostalgia hitting him, the familiar rush of humanity he had once felt, the lust flourishing in his veins as it did once.

As soon as she ki$$ed him, he felt euphoria washing over him. The touch making him go crazy. All he wanted was to pin her down, then & there.

The lust hitting him.

Harin on the other hand was whimpering because of the foreign feeling. She felt her whole body feeling hot as he caged her, deepening their ki$$. It felt as his touch is leaving a tingling sensation everywhere on her body.

Her fingers tighten on his shoulder as soon as she felt herself in air.

Taehyung picks her up and places her on his bed, not breaking of once between it. He hovers over her and soon he felt her legs encircling his waist.

Harin didn’t know what was turning her on, the strength of her lover or the hot ki$$ which is making her moan.

Taehyung felt himself reaching on the entrance of undying lust. He knew once he is in there, she is going to be wrecked better than before. He groans as felt himself being pulled over her through the grip on his waist.

*No, not right now* his mind reminded him of the situation.

He broke their ki$$, both huffing as they hold their stare.

Harin leaned in again to dive into the new pleasure, but Taehyung backed up.

“Now Now Darling………” He started; his voice hoarse. “If we started again, I’m afraid my father-in-law will witness it.”

And the situation dawned upon her. She had lost herself into the pleasure that she forgot about the seriousness of the situation.

“Oh No!” She panicked, pushing him away. “I should go before he comes here.”

“Shhhhh” Taehyung brought her into his embrace trying to calm her state. “We’ll meet tonight. Don’t worry your father will agree to us very soon. Just trust me on this. Okay!”

Harin let herself loose on his words. She nodded and made her way out of the house.

“Did you do it” Her father’s harsh tone welcomed her on the passenger seat.

Harin whispered a yes as she sat beside him.

Hyun hummed and drove back to their house.

“She is grounded for a week, no college, no nothing, and give her food in her room too otherwise I’ll slap every time I see her.” He ordered his wife who just pitied her crying daughter.

“But my studies……..—

“Should’ve thought about them before sleeping with that thug.” He shouted as he grabbed her chin in rage.

“I didn’t sleep with him.” She voiced out between her tears.

“I don’t know whether I should believe you or not. Because whatever I thought till now turned out to be a lie.”

“I’m sorry.. it just happened.”

“I don’t care, go back to your room before I hit you once more.”

Harin cried out as she rushed back to her room in tears.

Everything was going fine, what happened ………….. was the only thought occupying her mind.

She had been crying all the time, dinner kept untouched on her table. She didn’t have any appetite after the food reminded her of how she is practically banned from going out of her room. For a moment she wondered, what will her father do if he comes to know about her going to party.

She shuddered at the thought, she would not even imagine what he would do to her and Rachel.

All she wanted now, was a presence of certain male who would cheer her up at any cost.

There was a tinge of guilt inside her, of how she was betraying her father, but she had fallen too hard to back out and choose now and she was aware of it.

He had treated her nothing like she had thought he would. With her, he was the most perfect man anyone could ask for, proving all of his past and assumptions wrong.

She didn’t realize how a faint smile arrived on her face, and she got lost in the surroundings with the thought of certain male.

That was the moment her curtains shuffled as a presence emerged in surroundings. He appeared beside her bed in a flash, but frowned seeing her lost.

He noticed the untouched food and picked the plate.

“Why are you not eating”

The voice snapped her out.

Her forehead creased as she again felt something weird.

“Why do I not see you coming in my room, ever?”

“Let’s talk after you eat, okay?” Taehyung held her chin giving a soft stare.

“No” Harin withdrawed from his hold, cutting the stare.

“It’s kind of weird” She mumbled out still not looking at him. “I have these doubts of how we are so close in such less time but whenever I ask you I seem to forget, as if you control my mind, and I think about you…. only you all the time but today I feel weird seeing you here………….. as if I was not actually ready for this but somehow we did end up here like this……… I feel like I’ll lose myself if I look at you and…………….. I don’t know what I am saying, I’m sorry.” She said as she held the male’s hand looking at him apologetically. “I think I’m just stressed today”

Taehyung just took a seat in front of her.

“Don’t worry about anything till I’m here”

He said giving a soft peck on her lips. “Here, let me feed you”

He then made sure that she finishes her dinner and end up in his arms for the night.

Harin had slept soundly in his arms but he was awake. He sat on the bed, the wall supporting his back and placed her head on his lap, staring right at the door which soon creaked open.

A smirk decorated his lips while his eyes held an amusing glint as he saw the ‘guest who had appeared.

“I should’ve remembered you Lee Hyun” a mocking tone was held with the sentence.

“You’re not the lord anymore Kim Taehyung” Hyun answered back.

“Uh-uh I’m still the lord, I’ve just decided to live normally without any work, doesn’t mean I’m unable to be the same.”

“But you still didn’t learnt your lesson, she gave her life for you…….twice and you still have the guts to be with her again” Hyun controlled his temper, fisting, trying to fight the urge to throw something at the male’s face but held it for his daughter.

“And that is why I left everything, if it means that I get to live beside her I would give it all again.”

“What if some old enemy of yours finds about her…… again…”

“They won’t cause there are none left” This time his gaze was cold, no emotions.

Hyun shivered as he remembered the last occasion where he had seen the gaze.

He could still identify the murdering intentions beneath the icy surface. He remembers the night, very clearly, he has seen the former lord losing emotions.

“The past is the past Kim Taehyung but I don’t allow you to be with my daughter.”

“Would your daughter be happy with that decision, or did you really forget the consequence of me distancing myself from her”

“This is not the same as before, she’ll move on”

Taehyung scoffed. “You knew I was in the town, so you kept tabs on me to make sure that I don’t see her, didn’t you”

The silence gave him the answer. He continued, “And while keeping tabs on me, you made sure that you give her a strict parenting so she stays away, yet she was harassed while focused solely on my a$$. At least she is happy with me unlike with you who just suffocates her.”

“Because that’s for her good. Being away from you is good for her.” Hyun exclaimed in his defence.

“I didn’t see what good is there in her getting harassed by the Jake guy while you would have been watching me, waiting when I leave from here.”

“I did not know but you—

“She is destined to be mine and even if she is not I’LL MAKE SURE SHE IS. Tomorrow I’ll approach you in civilized manner, agree with courtesy or else tomorrow night you’ll feel actual pain after years.” Taehyung said in a threatening tone. “Now go away, I’ve someone to cuddle.”

“I’ll make sure compensate for this behaviour Kim Taehyung.” Hyun mumbled with a small smile which he is trying to hide after watching his daughter whining and snuggling more into the male.
