Love to kill >> Taehyung, You
It wasn’t an easy decision he had to make. Looking at the innocent figure of the girl who had given him everything he wanted, sleeping soundly and safe, he touched her checks with the back of his hand, running his slender fingers across her smooth skin.
A soft groan skipped her lips as she pushed him away, “give me more time to sleep.”
He smiled to himself as he kissed the side of her face. “Sleep soundly, lovely.”
The smile died into a stern face. Inserting the soundproofing range, he pointed the gun to her head. Without a second thought, he fired.
Poor her.
Another soul has been wasted because they were too stupid.
And well, because it also cost a lot of money inform of both cash and information.
“Sweet dreams.” He said his last words before walking out of the door. Leaving her with a pool of blood around her beautiful figure.

“It is the third unfortunate news happening this month. A young lady, not more than 21 years old had been found dead in her room. Shoot to death.”
The news said as you were having breakfast with your roommates. One of your roommates, Kayla, rolled her eyes as she snorted.
“She was naked they said.” Shaking her head, she muffled the food in her mouth. “That’s why you should not do one night stands. Especially with strangers. They will probably rob you and then kill in the end.”
“Strangely, nothing was stolen in her house. I don’t think he was a thief.” Jenny, the blonde, said. She was the girl who liked to play innocent all the time. As if she was the angel and everyone else was the devil who meant to hurt her. “I am not sure I will ever trust anyone again. What do you think, Y/N?”
Kayla and Jenny looked at you, curious about your opinion. However, as always you just took the last bit in your plate as you stood on your feet and walked to the kitchen sink. “I have a class now. I should go.”
Jenny frowned at Kayla, frustrated. “Does she always ignore me or is it just my imagination?”
Kayla smiled, shaking her head. “She is just a little bit like this. We have to cope with that.”
“I am not coping with anything shitty.” Jenny huffed, glaring at your back as you were washing your dishes, not giving answering. “Whatever I have class too.”
Jenny pushed the chair, making sure you heard how annoyed she was as she went to her room slapping the door behind her.
Kayla sighed as she walked to your side. She slid her plates into the sink and leaned onto it so that she could look at you. “Don’t mind Jenny. She is just a little sensitive.”
You nodded as you gave Kayla a small smile. “Yeah, I know.”
“She just hopes you can share your feelings, your thoughts with her. She wants to be your friend.”
“I don’t think I will need friends.” You said as you excused yourself to the living room. You grabbed your stuff and headed out of the house, leaving Kayla alone in the kitchen. You could only imagine how disappointed she was with your small talk, but you cared less.
Friends?
You don’t need them.
They only call themselves friends and then walk away once they discover you were different or not who they hoped you to be.
Ex-con daughter. Nobody wanted to be a friend of someone whose father was in jail.
Especially girls like Jenny.
You remember exactly how girls like her treated you in high school. The memory was still clear as if it happened yesterday. Even though the wounds had healed, your hair had grown, your tears dried, they still hurt. It was painful to think about the hell you went through the past two years.
You looked forward to becoming a university student so much because people will care less about what you did. You didn’t have to make close contact with anyone, and you didn’t see the same people every day.
Friends?
No one wanted to be your friends.
Swimming in your own thoughts, you didn’t notice him until it all had happened. When you crashed directly into his shoulder tripping, you feel on your knees. Your hair fell over your face as you winced from the burning in your knees.
Bad day obviously, because you were wearing a skirt and the pain shouting into your joint told you that you were already bleeding badly.
“Are you okay?”
You didn’t look at him as you tried to stand on your own. You were too embarrassed to even look at him. Keeping your eyes on the floor, you bowed to him as you walked away.
“Are you sure, you are fine? Your knees are bleeding. Should we go to the hospital?”
He touched your arm as he tried to catch your steps. Pushing him away, you turned around and looked at him, annoyed.
But...
His eyes were wide opened with worry and surprise. You took in a deep breath as you watched him, looking around hopelessly. He was tall, taller than you. His hair was blonde, and his eyes were.... his eyes were magnificently beautiful. They were sharp on the edge and full of depth you had never seen before. With a pointed nose and sharp jaw, he was breathtakingly beautiful.
Who was he? Which major was he in? You had never seen him around the campus before.
At that moment, you knew you were in trouble. You should not have looked at him at all.
“I am fine.” You said, putting your hands in the air and turned around to walk before this strange feeling in your stomach getting stronger.
“Are you really fine?” He followed you, sidestepped in front of you as you backed away surprised. “You are bleeding.”
“I know. Don’t worry I will not sue you.” You said nonchalantly and he smiled.
Your breath caught in your chest as butterflies swam inside your stomach. The charisma he had was a big deal.
“I cannot leave you like this, with your knees bleeding.” He looked around, left and right, everywhere, until his eyes stopped at the right place.
From the way he was looking around, you figured that he was new here. He didn’t know a lot about the campus which took him to find the pharmacy.
Who was he? Did he come here to see someone?
“Wait for me here.” He said to you as he started walking towards the pharmacy. “I will be back.”
You didn’t even get the chance to protest or reject his offer as he ran to the pharmacy.
Sighing, you looked at your watch. It was already 7:55. Five more minutes and your lecture would start.
Leaning on the next tree you could find, you looked at your bloodied knees. They looked kind of bad and they hurt so much that you could barely walk.
At that moment, he came back running with a plastic bag in this hand. He looked at you with regret in his eyes.
“I am really sorry.” He said as he took out the ointment and looked at you before applying. “May I?”
Heat rushed through your cheeks as you shook your head and took the ointment from him. “Did you bring alcohol swaps?”
“No. I forgot.” He frowned as he looked back at the pharmacy.
Before he could go back, you said. “It is okay. I will just go to the bathroom and clean them first.” You sighed, looking at your watch. “It seems like I will skip my class today.”
“This is my fault.” He looked down at the ground.
“It is really fine, you...”
“V. My name is V” He smiled widely, a rectangular smile that you had never seen before. It gave off such an innocent, boyish side of him.
“I am Y/N.” You nodded in acknowledgment. “You are new here?”
“Is it obvious?”
“Very.”
He chuckled as he nodded. "I should be careful then. I am not supposed to look new here."
"Why?"
"Nothing."
You weren't the kind of person who believed in love at first sight. You never believed in love, but something about him, something about V told you that he was going to be your biggest mistake. If you had ever seen him again.
You almost gasped not believing that you actually just wished to see him again.
"You know, I can show you around here." Is it possible for someone to slap themselves in front of everyone? Because you wanted so badly to slap your mouth for saying that. The girl who swore to be all alone through the college years was offering a tour.
"Really?" His eyes widened in anticipation.
"o-of course, why not? I only had this class that I am no longer going to."
"Don't make me feel guiltier than this." His smile disappeared and his concerned face was back on. “plus it must hurt walking around with your leg like this.”
For the first time, in many years, you smiled. A smile that you had forgotten how to do. This man you had just met, he was the purest thing you had ever seen till now. If someone else was in his place, he would have left you alone in pain in the middle of the campus, calling you by names for getting in his ways. He wouldn't have stopped you three times, but just walked away from the first time you said you were fine.
He didn't do that, which made you look at him in a different way. Or at least for once, you hoped he would be different.
"Just give me a few seconds. I will be right back." You said, smiling at him before turning around and limped to the bathroom.
~~
After you cleaned your wound and treated it, you showed V everywhere around the campus. The faculty building, the dorms, the sports zone, the cafeteria, the classes building, you almost left nothing. You even told him about every exist you had discovered.
Strangely, while showing V around, you forgot about the pain in your knees and even though you never enjoyed the company of anyone, V was a funny person to be with.
You never expected to see such a funny side of him. He was smiling and laughing at the time.
You also learned a lot about him. He was a couple of years older than you. He liked to play tennis and he studied psychology and was going to attend the university as teacher assistance starting from tomorrow.
When you asked him why he came today, he said he wanted to look around the campus and it was more than the pleasure that you had shown him around.
Time passed quickly. When the sky started to get darker only then you realized how much time you had spent with him.
At that time you invited him to the nearest coffee shop outside the campus. You looked outside at the people walking, going back home and for the first time, you felt like a person again
"It is already evening." You said, surprised.
"Really?" He looked outside of the window as he blinked. "Time with you flies quickly."
"I have to go back now. It is really nice to meet you, V." You said as you grabbed your stuff and threw your bag over your shoulder.
"Are you leaving already?"
"Didn't you get tired of me?" You chuckled. "I will see you around, I guess."
"Yeah, right." He nodded as he stood up as well. "I will see you tomorrow. And I will walk you back tonight. It is not safe for a young lady to walk alone in this darkness."
You smiled as you agreed for him to walk you.
As you reached the campus, your smile dropped when you caught Jenny staring at you surprised. By her side, Kayla was waiting concerned. What were they doing at a time like this, right now?
When you approached them, Jenny was the first to talk. "It is 7:00, where were you?"
"I thought you said the curfew was at 10:00" V leaned in and whispered in your ears. The action caught you off guards as you jumped slightly, feeling the hair at the back of your neck stand.
"It is." You looked at Kayla and then Jenny. "It is not 10:00 yet."
"Yeah, but you are normally by 2:00 in the dorms, in your room." Kayla was the one who was talking this time. She was different. She talked in a calm tune but still, you could notice how concerned she was. "We called you many times. Your food is cold and who is he?"
Both girls looked at V who took a step forward and introduced himself. "I am V. Nice to meet you."
"Is that even a real name?" Jenny frowned, her arms linked in front of her chest. "You are out there getting yourself involved with a male prostitute, but you don't even talk to me. Fine! I will not concern myself with you anymore." She spat as she turned around and walked into the building.
You, Kayla and V froze for a moment as you watched Jenny walking away, murmuring more hateful words about you and how mean and insensitive you were.
"Sorry about that" Kayla was the one who had to apologize as you were still frozen in your place, speechless. Jenny's words were so harsh. "Let's go inside, Y/N." She grabbed you by the hand as she dragged you with her.
"See you all tomorrow." V smiled, shaking his head. Gladly, he didn’t seem to be bothered by what Jenny had just said. You were too embarrassed to even look at him.
You turned your head slightly and watched him leave.
After what happened, you really wished not to see him again. You had never been so embarrassed before.
~~
By the end of the day, after a hot shower, you felt so exhausted. You had been running through a rollercoaster of emotions that you had held in for so long. You refused to get attached to anyone, you refused to feel embarrassed or ashamed anymore, you refused to feel something and shut everyone out of your life. But this wall has been breaking slowly and you just don’t know when it started to break.
You were brushing your hair, in front of the mirror when Kayla knocked on the door and invited herself inside your room. You watched her as she sat on your bed a sigh skipped her mouth.
“I am sorry, I worried you.” You said as you put your hairbrush on the table. “I should have called you.”
“You should have called. You really worried us, especially after today’s news. Girls are dying out there.” Kayla sighed again before she took your hands in hers. “We are just glad you are okay.”
“Thank you.” You smiled, as warmth filled your chest.
“Jenny was more worried about you.” She smiled as she shook her head. “She didn’t mean to be mean.”
“I know but she’d better apologize to V. Calling him a male prostitute?” You sighed, shaking your head. You couldn’t meet him after what Jenny has said.
“Who is he, Y/N? V?”
“New TA, I think? Or a student?” You shrugged. “I showed him around today.”
“If he is a new TA, I don’t think I will be able to attend any class with him around,” Kayla said, dreamingly.
You laughed too hard, that Kayla was looking at you surprised. “What?”
“Nothing,” You kept laughing. “It is just that I agree with you.”
“I think we should talk more,” Kayla smiled as she took your hands in hers. “Don’t just separate yourself from the world.”
“Yeah.” You smiled softly. Kayla words really warmed up your heart, breaking down more bricks of the wall you were building around you.
That night you had decided to do a sleepover in one room. Even though you didn’t like the idea at first –it was Kayla’s—and Jenny ignored you throughout the night, you had so much fun.
As your walls dissolving, new people were coming into your life.
It made you both existed and scared.
~~
10:30 PM
The girls walked into the dorm. Everyone was inside by now.
Behind one of the trees, blinded in the shadow of the darkness, he was watching everything. Watching every light turns off in the dorm as everyone went to sleep. His plan changed a little bit, but it wasn’t completely screwed.
In fact, his plan might have become better.
His phone buzzed in this hand.
Checking the caller, it was him.
“It is me.” He said, voice deep and low in the silence of the night. “You will get what you want. One week maximum. That’s all I need.”
Yes.
That’s all he needed.
The edge of his lips turned over into a sly smirk.
It was the start of another falling girl
