Silent Pain [Taekookgukkkook]
~ Chapter 14 ~
Kim Taehyung
(What benefits am I getting from this? None.)
Taehyung didn’t stop, didn’t even acknowledge his attempt to speak. He bolted down the hallway, his sobs echoing softly in the quiet house.
He reached his room, flinging the door open and slipping inside, the door closing with a soft click behind him.
Jungukk stood in the hallway, his hand still half-raised. He stared at the closed door, his mind a whirlwind of conflicting emotions.
The image of Taehyung's tear-streaked face lingered in his thoughts, a stark contrast to the emotionless he usually felt towards him.
He dropped his hand to his side, clenching it into a fist. He couldn't decipher the tangle of feelings within him. Was it guilt? Regret? He shook his head, trying to dispel the turmoil.
With a frustrated sigh, he turned away, leaving Taehyung to his sorrow and himself to his confusion.
Kim Taehyung
(What should I do? Tell me, should I keep acting like this...? Like, I'm not hurting by them?)
The house was shrouded in a heavy silence, the remnants of the evening’s turmoil lingering in the air.
Jungukk emerged from his bedroom, his mind still restless and unsettled. As he walked down the dimly lit hallway, he passed by Taehyung's room, his footsteps slowing as he neared his door.
He paused, a frown creasing his brow as he recalled the image of his tear-streaked face, the sound of his sobs echoing in his mind.
Jeon Jungukk
Aish. God. *Whispers*
Something compelled him to stop, to turn and face his door. He stood there for a moment, wrestling with the strange, unfamiliar feelings stirring within him.
A soft noise from inside the room caught his attention. It was a sound he couldn’t quite place—something between a muffled sob and a faint rustle.
His heart quickened as an uneasy feeling settled over him. Hesitating for only a moment, he reached out and turned the doorknob, pushing the door open just a crack.
The sight that greeted him made his blood run cold. Taehyung was sitting on the floor, his back against the bed, his face pale and drawn.
Jeon Jungukk
Taehyung...*Felt sharp pain in his chest* Ah.
In his trembling hands, he held a small blade, its edge glinting faintly in the dim light. Blood trickled from fresh cuts on his wrists, the crimson drops stark against his pale skin.
Jungukk's voice was sharp, laced with a mixture of shock and horror.
Taehyung looked up, his eyes filled with a haunting emptiness that sent a shiver down Jungukk's spine.
The blade slipped from his fingers, clattering softly to the floor. He said nothing, his gaze distant and unfocused, as if he was staring through him rather than at him.
Jeon Jungukk
What are you doing?!
He demanded, his voice trembling with an emotion he couldn’t quite name.
He rushed to his side, kneeling beside him and grabbing his wrists, trying to stem the flow of blood with his hands.
Jeon Jungukk
Why did you do this?!
Taehyung's lips parted, but no words came out. His eyes flickered with a faint spark of recognition, but the pain and despair were all-consuming.
Jeon Jungukk
Why would you do this, Taehyung?
Kim Taehyung
I...I-I had to...
Jungukk's heart ached at the sight of him.
