"Get her to safety, there might be more of them coming"
"It was just a robbery. Not many are involved, I've got them all" Taehyung answered, fastening his steps to Jimin. "But that doesn't give you any authority to question me" he continued, glaring at him with hate raging through his veins, teeth tightening, fist clutching each other.
"I don't care about any authority, Taehyung"
"You shouldn't. Now that you are powerless there is nothing left of you to fear"
The two guys in front of me were talking like they knew each other's identity from quite some time. It would be wrong of me if I interrupt them, so I stayed quiet till they realize my presence themselves. But I guess they didn't bother to give me a glance. So I have to flee. I must ignore and run.
"I don't think so" a strong force hit my back. The sudden impact was shocking yet very convincing once it surrounded my entire body, capturing it like invisible ropes and pulling me back. I let out a sudden scream, not lasting long until my back was hit on Taehyung's chest.
He caught both my shoulders, turning me to face him.
"Let's get this nightmare erased, shall we" he questioned, more like declared while he pointed his index finger on my forehead.
Both my eyes diverted to concentrate at the point where his finger touched my skin, scaring me and getting me anxious at the same time. Am I on some prank channel? I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that way when something like this happens.
Taehyung's eyes were closed for a few seconds and when he opened, they were blue?
"Why are you afraid to make her remember?" Jimin, caught him off guard, making him lose his attention which lead to the breaking of the circular shields that his fingers created on my forehead.
"Don't tell me what I'm supposed to do"
"Why can't I"
"Because I'm her protector and I know what's best for her"
Prot-pro-protector a what now?
"And what does that have to do with me" he shot back, not looking happy at Taehyung's reply.
Why am I so blank? This isn't me. I'm not usually like this, but there is just so much going on in this room right now. I don't even know where to start with.
"Don't act like you don't know it yetâ"Tae yelled.
"âwhen you caught her last time, and took over her eyes. You knew everything. You know who she is, don't you, devil"
"I do" he replied, while Taehyung waited for him to speak ahead.
"She is the doctor who will treat me" there was a smirk written on Jimin's face, something that mocks Taehyung's statements. But, Tae? He didn't do anything. He only stayed silent.
"I have to erase it all" he spoke in a hurry, like something will be wrong if he doesn't.
Taehyung walked straight at me, cupping my face in his long hands, focusing into my eyes.
"Tae, what are you doing?" I asked, but he doesn't respond, he doesn't have the time to. The only thing he said was or more like pleaded was.
"I'm sorry, Minrae. But can you please look at me right now"
"Don't do it!" the boy who stood in front of me with his hands cupping my face was thrown to another side being hit by the rusted cell wall, broken by Jimin.
"Tae, are you okay!" I was worried to see someone like him smashed on the ground.
It must have killed him.
With shivering hands I slowly walked to his side, peeking through the space between each cylindrical metal. The metal bar started to move and I was in complete shock. He was lifting it up with his one hand, like it was the first toy his parents taught him to play with.
"Don't try to pick a fight, Jimin"
"I never wanted to. Why are you not letting her keep this memory"
"Because, I have to protect her and if that means to get rid of her hasty memories of you then I don't mind" he replied, their eyes never mending.
"Protect her? ha-ha! Protect haha-ha" he started to laugh, like someone crazy, like a psycho.
"Kim Taehyung" he called, with his laugh dying and only silence covering us. "You know better who protected who, now don't you. You talk about the history, the same history you are shamelessly mocking me about" Jimin was seeking answers, but with the way he says it, it's like he already knows what he wants to hear.
"Why do you want her to know your identity" Taehyung asked, this time his tune had a sense of surrender to it.
"Only when she knows it, will she be able to find the answers to my struggle. Years ago it started with her, and now she has to end it. And I know, she is the doctor that will cure me, regain me back my strength, my wings to oblivion"
"NO! no, no , no. You cannot use Rara. I will not let you" the guy behind the bars screamed like he always does, frightening me.
"You still don't recognize him" Jimin asked, smiling like he meant no harm.
"I-I-"
"Pft, humans say they might not remember by memories, but will always connect by heart. Such rubbish they teach each other" The cold psycho mocked, eyeing me like a weakling.
The fact that a psycho is out of his cage is not at all my least concern right now. He is trying to rule over me, distract me, and to put in unusual, supernatural stuffs in me. What am I supposed to do?
I kept staring at Tae for help; he smiled, and assured me I'm safe as long as he is around me. My only strength is his presence, but why. Why is there so much strength in his presence?
"It's okay if you don't recognize him, Minrae. And I don't mind that you don't recognize me either. But you're my doctor, and you have to cure me, am I right, of course I am. So you have to help me be myself again"
"How would I help you be yourself?"
"Help me get back my wings" he stated, without hesitating or breaking up words. He confidently asked me something I have no answer for.
Wings?
Is he talking about his lost wings again? Should I believe it? After all these things happening, I don't even know what I'm supposed to do. The building seems to be cursed, my job seems to be superficial and my co- worker just turned out to be a mind or body controlling freak. What am I supposed to do?
'Just believe me' I could hear Jimin inside my head again. But this time I didn't freak out.
"I never understood how you lost it in the first place" I asked, trying to coordinate his side of the story.
"I lost it because of a sin I committed. Like I told you, I'm the devil himself. I'm a Demon ascending from the hell"
"What sin did you commit" I asked, dodging all the weird thoughts I have, just so I could get to the point.
"That, Dr" he said, coming closer to my ears. "You can't just hear it yet. Since I can't trust you as much as he does" Jimin said, pointing at Taehyung, who had a frown on.
"Things will be back to normal now. I don't think he can stop time for long, it's bad for his health, I guess" he said laughing, looking at Tae again. That was when I realized that things around me weren't moving at all. It was all stopped.
"Just remember what I said. So next time when you come to visit me" he continued "Come prepared" with that he took the cell bar and closed it on the side of his room, melting its edges so it can be fixed back.
He doesn't want to escape?
Taehyung caught my shoulder, asking me to come upstairs. That was before the declared Demon shouted something.
"Protect her well for me" he said, continuing while curving his lips to a dark smirk.
"Angel"
With his last word, my eyes were on Tae. But his was not on mine. Both the Demon and Angel were staring at each other, hate, disgust, anger were dominating their features. Jimin's eyes turned golden while Tae's turned blue. Nothing was more suffering than the aura surrounding them both.
Something makes me feel that there is more to this unsolved fantasy, something that holds me in it.
