Unveiling The Nightmare
Jungkook stood frozen, his entire body rigid as he processed Taehyung's words
His breath came out in short, uneven bursts, his fists clenching so tightly that his knuckles turned white
The kitchen, once filled with the warmth of Taehyung's presence, now felt suffocating, consumed by the weight of the truth
JUNGKOOK
(whispering, disbelief laced in his tone) What... did you just say?
Taehyung lowered his head, his eyes glistening with unshed tears, his hands gripping the edge of the counter as if it was the only thing keeping him standing
TAEHYUNG
(softly, brokenly) The reason we broke up wasn't because you were poor, Jungkook...
TAEHYUNG
It was because I was forced to
Jungkook's heart stopped. His breath hitched, and for a moment, he felt like the ground beneath him had shattered
JUNGKOOK
(whispering, his voice trembling with rage) Forced...?
TAEHYUNG
(nodded, his hands trembling)
He took a deep breath, trying to steady himself before speaking again
TAEHYUNG
Sehun... he made me do it. He threatened everything, Jungkook.
TAEHYUNG
He took everything
Jungkook's stomach twisted in fury
His jaw clenched so tightly it hurt
His hands trembled with an uncontrollable rage, but he forced himself to listen as Taehyung continued
JUNGKOOK
What do you mean..?
TAEHYUNG
Sehun's father... was my father's secretary
TAEHYUNG
He worked in my family's company
TAEHYUNG
One day, Sehun and his parents, came to our house ask for my hand in marriage
TAEHYUNG
(He swallowed hard, his voice breaking.)
TAEHYUNG
I rejected him… because we were together
TAEHYUNG
My parents rejected him
TAEHYUNG
They didn't like him… and, he took it as an insult
Jungkook felt a lump in his throat
TAEHYUNG
(voice cracking) Then... a few weeks later, my parents got into an accident
TAEHYUNG
Their car collided with another vehicle
TAEHYUNG
The other car exploded on impact
JUNGKOOK
(eyes widened in horror)
TAEHYUNG
Later, we found out that the car belonged to Sehun's parents
JUNGKOOK
(breath caught in his throat.)
JUNGKOOK
(muttering, shaking his head) No... that can't be...
Taehyung let out a bitter chuckle, though there was no humor in it. Only pain
Mr. Kim and Mrs. Kim sat in the grand living room, their faces pale with shock
Taehyung sat beside his mother, gripping her hand tightly
Across from them, Sehun was crying, fake tears rolling down his cheeks
The room was filled with police officers, their expressions grim
Cops
Mr. Kim, I'm afraid this wasn't just an accident
Cops
We believe... it was murder
Gasps filled the room. Mrs. Kim clutched her chest, shaking her head
Mrs. Kim
No... that's not possible!
Mr. Kim
(furmly) We had nothing to do with this! My wife and I—
The officer sighed, shaking his head
Cops
We have no other choice but to take you into custody for further investigation
Mr. Kim stood up angrily, but before he could say anything, Sehun suddenly spoke
SEHUN
(softly, fake sadness in his voice) Officer, please...
SEHUN
let me speak to them for a moment
The officer hesitated but eventually nodded, signaling his team to leave the room
As soon as they were gone, the crocodile tears vanished from Sehun's face
His lips curled into a wicked smile, his eyes gleaming with amusement
Taehyung felt his blood run cold
Mr. Kim
(furious) You b@st@rd!
Sehun merely chuckled, leaning back against the couch
SEHUN
No need to get so worked up, Mr. Kim
Mr. Kim
(clenched his fists)
SEHUN
(smirking) Before the media catches onto this murder scandal; I have a simple offer for you
SEHUN
(He leaned forward, his voice dripping with malice.)
SEHUN
Hand over your company. Your wealth. Your mansion. And...
SEHUN
(His gaze flickered to Taehyung, making him shiver.) Taehyung.
Mrs. Kim's grip on Taehyung tightened
Mr. Kim
(gritted teeth) Over my dead body!
SEHUN
(mocking laughter) Oh, you poor thing
SEHUN
You really think you have a choice?
SEHUN
(He stood up, walking closer.) If you refuse...
SEHUN
I'll make sure both of you rot in jail for murder
SEHUN
And Taehyung... well, I'll have him either way
SEHUN
(His voice turned dark) Or I can kill him
(Taehyung let out a choked gasp, clutching his mother's arm.)
Mrs. Kim
(pleading, desperate) Please... don't do this
Mr. Kim looked at Taehyung, his heart shattering at the fear in his son's eyes
He was backed into a corner. He had no choice
The room was suffocatingly silent
Taehyung's lips trembled before he finally spoke
Taehyung(past)
(whispering, barely audible) Dad... accept the deal
His parents' heads snapped toward him, their eyes wide with shock.
Taehyung stepped forward, swallowing the lump in his throat
Taehyung(past)
If it means keeping you both safe... I'll do it
Mr. Kim closed his eyes, exhaling shakily before finally nodding
With trembling hands, he signed the papers. Sehun laughed… laughed like a maniac
His blood boiled, his vision blurred with fury
His nails dug into his palms, and his entire body trembled with rage
JUNGKOOK
(whispering, voice dangerously low) That... that b@st@rd
Taehyung gave a weak, lifeless chuckle
TAEHYUNG
And it didn't end there
TAEHYUNG
After taking everything, Sehun took my parents away
TAEHYUNG
I don't even know where they are, Jungkook
TAEHYUNG
He's keeping them hostage
TAEHYUNG
I know Jungkook, Sehun’s parents are still alive… it was all a plan..!
JUNGKOOK
(clenched his jaw)
His body was screaming to fight, to kill, to burn everything Sehun had built
TAEHYUNG
(eyes filled with desperation) Even if I want to run away...
TAEHYUNG
I can't. Not until I find them
Jungkook exhaled sharply, stepping closer
He reached for Taehyung's trembling hands, holding them tightly
JUNGKOOK
(determined, furious but gentle) Then we'll find them
Taehyung looked up, his breath hitching
Jungkook's eyes held no doubt, only promise
A promise that he would burn the world down if it meant saving Taehyung and his family
