A Love Before Dusk (Taekook)
A.L.B.D²
It's been minutes he is running.
The rain poured mercilessly from the sky, washing the streets clean—but not his fear.
Taehyung’s lungs burned. His legs screamed in protest. But he couldn’t stop.
Kim Taehyung
"Shít......shít....... As if my life is not in danger the rain also have to curse me now."
Kim Taehyung
"I knew curiosity kills the cat, but I didn't know it will be after my life"
Kim Taehyung
"Running is the only option for me now"
Shoes slapping against the wet asphalt, his soaked clothes clinging to his trembling frame, heart hammering like it wanted to escape his chest. Behind him, footsteps echoed—fast, heavy, merciless.
Someone
He ran that way! Don’t let the brat escape!
Taehyung’s eyes widened. They were close. Too close.
Kim Taehyung
No.... No... Don't let them find me.
He mumbled while running.
He darted into a narrow alley, splashing through puddles. The buildings loomed like shadows, foreign and unkind. He didn’t know where he was anymore. He didn’t care.
Someone
He’s fast, this one! Fan out! He can’t go far!
Taehyung turned sharply, blindly. His vision blurred from the rain, his breath coming in short, panicked gasps. His feet slipped—he nearly fell—but he caught himself against a rusted fence and kept going.
Suddenly, the buildings ended.
Stretching like skeletal fingers into the sky. A forest? He didn’t even realize he had run this far out of the city.
Kim Taehyung
I have no choice.
Without a second thought, Taehyung plunged into the jungle. Branches scraped his arms, leaves slapped his face, but he didn’t stop. The woods were thick, wild, and dark, but it was better than being caught.
Behind him, the men paused at the edge.
Someone
The Omega went into the forest.
Someone²
Shit. That’s too deep, boss won’t like this.
Someone
We can’t track him in there, not in this storm.
Someone²
Boss will kill us if we leave someone who saw us killing.
Someone
Then let's search maybe he is somewhere near.
Meanwhile, Taehyung kept running. Every breath felt like glass in his throat. His body trembled from cold and fear. His legs were about to collapse when—
Old, half-hidden by the trees. Cracked walls, broken windows, rusted metal gates. It looked like it had been abandoned for decades.
Taehyung stumbled forward and pushed the door open with all his might. It creaked loudly but didn’t resist. He slipped inside, collapsed onto the floor, and crawled behind a broken counter.
Only the sound of rain pounding on the roof and his own gasping breaths filled the air.
Outside, the gangsters circled near the forest.
Someone
No way we’re going in blind like that. The forest’s cursed or something.
Someone²
Let’s report back. The boss’ll be pissed, but we’ll say he vanished.
They turned back, and soon, the footsteps disappeared.
Inside, Taehyung lay still on the cold, dirty floor. His heart hadn’t slowed. His fingers gripped the edge of the counter like a lifeline.
Kim Taehyung
"Where the hell am I"
Kim Taehyung
"I never knew this type of place exist"
