Summary: Seoul, South Korea. During a night a man deliberately tramples a child, not caring about her cries. Chased by a passerby, the demonic V agrees to compensate her with money: but the cheque he produces has the signature of the distinguished Taehyung, a doctor esteemed by many. It is the beginning of Taehyung’s fall into a vortex of oddities: he isolates himself, seems tormented by violent anguish, and above all provides V - who inspires instinctive horror, and who is accused of disgusting crimes - not only money, but also protection in his home. What dark covenant can unite such different personalities?

CHAPTER EIGHT

"Jungkook... come here to Sinchon... please... I need you... help me..."

"Y/N! What happened to you? Tell me where you are that I run to you right away!!" Jungkook’s voice seemed to be worried about me crying desperately. Usually I never showed my suffering to others, even with whom I was dearest in the world. But now? I needed someone, I didn’t want to be alone...

"Jung... kook. I’m... I’m... at Sinchon... he... he..." I couldn’t talk. The hiccups and lumps in my throat kept me from saying anything...

"Shhh. Calm down. Take a deep breath. If you can’t talk, send me a message with the address and I’ll be right with you. Don’t be afraid!" And when I said that, he finished the call waiting for the message with the address of the house of V...of that horrible monster. How could he do such an inhuman thing to me? Why was he so cruel? From the words with which he described me in his diary, he seemed to love me. But it doesn’t seem like a healthy and normal love, but more like a psychopathic and obsessive love. Such a person had also killed for me... He is the definition of "dangerous man". A rogue like that who for years had stalked me apparently... Tae knew about this? Did you already know of its existence when you still did not know it around? There was a reason if suddenly appeared out of nowhere...

I was completely lost in my thoughts that I did not notice the steps that were fast approaching me, until Jungkook appeared from the door of V’s room.

"Y/N!" he said as he rushed to my side to lock me up in a comfort embrace. Feeling such a gentle and reassuring touch, I burst into tears again. I felt his hand leaning on my neck to get close to his chest and he starts caressing me.

"Hey. Now I’m here to protect you... Try to calm down and take a breath. when you will feel ok, tell me what happened, okay?" He asked me with a sweet voice. I returned his embrace. I needed to feel the warmth of a friendly person and even though I had known him for a short time, I realized that he was a good person I could trust. His grip comforted me and after a few minutes he began to tell him what had happened and what I had found.

"Jungkook... I didn’t tell you where I was going because I thought I was strong and brave even though I knew the danger could be that man... This is his house..." he made me detach from his grip and he began to stare directly into my eyes "His house? You mean..."

"Yes. This is V’s house" His eyes opened cause of surprise "Y/N! it was something irresponsible to come here alone. You know how much danger he’s, and if you still comes in here alone, thinking you're gonna be a hero. If you had asked me to come with you, I would have gladly accompanied you. But what’s on your mind?"

"I know... sorry. You were right" I lowered my head for shame. His words were all correct. If he only came with me, this probably wouldn’t have happened... I wouldn’t have been raped... by that monster...

He took my chin between his thumb and my forefinger and lifted my face to look at it "Hey, don’t worry. I’m here now. Go ahead and tell me what happened to you..."

"When you said at the river that we should start looking for clues to confirm V’s guilt... well... I already knew where to look. Here, in his house surely something would have turned up... I knew where he lived because it was not the first time I met him Do you remember when you told me that a witness kept glimpsing him at night melts in that alley where the accident with the child had happened?" and he nodded at my question "Well, for some nights, I’ve been waiting for a confrontation. Not because he did anything to me, but because he had a weird connection to someone I knew, and I wanted to find out what was underneath that. When I was lucky enough to cross his chimney, he explained to me that he lived here in case I wanted to "visit him", but obviously I never did... until today. I knew he was hiding something. He had to! And so I stupidly came here alone and I started looking around, especially in his room, and I found a checkbook with a few pages ripped half-scorched between the ashes of the chimney and the missing piece of his walking stick..." and I pointed out to him the objects that were still lying on the floor next to that fireplace.

"So... now we know he did it! The missing piece of the stick is here at his house and if it matches the one found at the Han River, the matter is resolved and we can start a manhunt to find V! We will go straight to the bank to block his account so he can no longer run too far away! Then this booklet is similar to the check that he gave to the father of the child as compensation for having hurt her. I recognize it! is definitely his! Y/n you saved the investigation!" he was excited to the news but soon after his expression turned into concern and confusion Jungkook "But that doesn’t explain why you called me crying... What happened after..." I decided that for now I would not tell him about the diary. It was a conversation I had to have before all this with Tae, something was wrong.

"Well... I was analyzing the clues when..." Tears started to form in my eyes again. It was a tremendous experience that would torment me even in my dreams "When I found V in front of me. I didn’t hear that he came back at home and he saw me wandering around in his room... he..."

"He...? Don’t tell me he did what I’m thinking now..." and I nodded "He raped me, Jungkook. It was awful and he was violent with me. He gave me no pity. He had tied my wrists with his belt and tied to the railing of the bed... He had me under his control and I felt... useless, helpless. I feel so dirty Jungkook!" and I burst into tears again. Tears came down and they had no intention of stopping. Jungkook gently grabbed my wrist and pulled down the craze of my shirt in such a way as to show the skin with the bruise where V had tied me.

"I will kill that bastard as soon as I find him! After this murder, rape is added to his list of crimes!" Then he grabbed my face in his hands "I promise you, Y/n! I’ll find him and make him pay for doing this to you! No woman should suffer such atrocity from any human being. I’m gonna take you home, and we’re gonna start making a sketch of V to put in flyers to track him down. We’re gonna find him, and I swear to God, I’m gonna throw him in jail and throw away the key. No i am gonna to destroy it. All right?" and I nodded at his words. Even though he was so young, he had the maturity to understand the gravity of any situation and to keep a cool head without getting caught up in the emotions."

Jungkook took with him all the objects I had found to help him with the investigation but as soon as he invited me out of that room I asked him the favor to go ahead before me. I had to collect that diary and show it to Taehyung. It was all so confusing and I needed him to clear my head once and for all and tell me who his bastard "friend" V was. I have to convince him to tell the truth. He must know it! But as soon as he started looking for its in the place where I had fallen, I realized that there was no trace of it. Where had it gone? I searched but nothing. Before running away, he had taken it with him? I gave up and I went away from there... I never wanted to go back to this house again

Once Jungkook drove me to my house and he made sure I was safe, he decided to leave to begin the search to arrest V as soon as possible. I decided to take a shower instead, I still felt dirty because of the cruel act that V had done to my body. The water in the shower was warm and I burned on the bruises he had left me not only on my wrists, but also on my hips, on my butt and on my inner thigh. He had been so brutal to me... and I left to abandon myself to one last cry before abandoning the heat of the water. It was supposed to be the last cry, and I needed to start building up some courage. If I had to talk to Tae, I couldn’t have been seen in such poor conditions. Who knows if he knew about this whole thing? About murder and my violence? I know it’s only a matter of time before his connection to V comes out and the police go to question him. Tomorrow I would go talk to him and understand this strange and bizarre matter once and for all. Now I just have to fix my thoughts and control my emotions. After a shower, all I needed was a good night’s sleep to try to forget what happened to me today...

The next morning

I woke up after a terruble night and I even more exhausted than the day before. It was a night of only nightmares. There was always this red-eyed shadow with sharp teeth that tried to drag me away with it, get away from the light to prune me in the darkness... It was probably connected to V. Of course that being had to haunt me even in my dreams.

I sighed. It was better to get dressed and go to Tae as soon as possible. I just hope that he doesn't close himself inside his lab again or I’d have to pull him out of there. The matter was serious and I did not tolerate any kind of attempted isolation on his part. Today everything had to be clear and precise and the truth had to come out.

In fact, I swear half an hour, I was already at Tae’s house. I knocked repeatedly on the door until a Jimin with a worried expression opened "Sorry Jimin for the time, but I have to talk to Taehyung immediately"

"Y/n... thank God you’re here. The master is not in himself. He did not eat anything and remains locked in his laboratory. I was going to come to you to try to convince you to talk to him. Please come in and I’ll take you to him" Tae was worried? He already knew everything...?

Jimin made me sit in the house and he took me to the lab door. "There you go. Since yesterday he’s locked up in there and refuses to talk to any of the staff, including me. Try to make an attempt... I beg you," I nodded to the poor butler. He was so worried about his master that it seemed he was close to a crying crisis "Let me do it Jimin. You go on and do your chores. I’ll update you as soon as we finish talking". Jimin gave me a half smile and walked away.

I took a long breath and knocked on the door of the lab, but everything was quiet. Tae probably thought I was one of the servants. I knocked on "Tae... it’s me... I need to talk to you... please..."

After a few minutes of waiting the door opened slightly and a weak voice came out of that small opening "Y/n... please enter... I just want you here... with me... please... come in and close the door"

I did as he asked and as soon as I found myself inside that dusty laboratory, what put me in great anguish was to see Tae in pitiful and desperate conditions...

You could see that he was not well. His hair was all ruffled and his scrubs all scruffy. His skin was pale, white as a ghost, and he had deep black dark circles. His eyes were red and swollen as if he had been crying for hours and probably so seen that his cheeks were damp because of tears.

"Tae..." I whispered to him. But as soon as he saw me he threw himself on his knees in front of me.

"Y/n... forgive me... forgive me because I have sinned. You did not deserve it... Seokjin did not deserve it... two innocent souls that have been stained by the wickedness of a man. And all because I did not have the strength to control him. Forgive me, it’s my fault!" and he burst into a desperate cry. I knelt before him and squeezed him hard at me. He did not return the hug but I could feel that he was leaning with his face in the recess of my neck and wetting my skin with his tears.

"I don’t deserve you... I don’t deserve anyone. I’m a monster..."

"No Tae... you are not the one. It is the fault of that Kim V who did this to you, who is only hurting us... You had nothing to do with what happened to Jin... what he did to me... I know you did your best, I know your heart is pure and you would never do any of this... you’re innocent, all right? You didn’t do anything..."

"Everyone talks about it and the guilt is killing me. I don’t deserve anyone. I was a fool to believe I could control him, but I failed. And now a person is dead and you... you were raped by that monster... You didn’t deserve it, you didn’t deserve it!"

"Shhhh... calm down. Now they’re looking for him and he won’t give you any more trouble. I was so worried about you, Tae... I came to see you to talk to you about something, but seeing you like this... just makes me understand how you’ve been suffering for a long time. Let me help you... Namjoon and I love you so much... let us give you a hand... Don’t isolate yourself and be alone" and my tears started to come down again "I hate to see you suffer... see the person I love the most who is slowly killing himself. I don’t want to lose you Tae. I... I..." And now every word didn’t come out of me no longer came from my mind, but from my heart and in the end what I kept inside for years came out "I... I love you, Tae. I don’t want to lose you... please".

At my words his whining stopped suddenly and he slowly raised his head to look me right in the eye "Do you... do you love me?"

I nodded. Now I didn’t care if he rejected me or not. I just wanted to be there for him and help him.

"You... love me..." he whispered again and slowly he brought his lips close to mine. He was kissing me sweetly. I could taste his salty tears but I didn’t care. His lips were so soft and warm. I had dreamed for years this moment and finally here we are... despite it was a desperate situation to stop expressing my feelings...

"You love me... and I love you..." he said weakly as he detached himself from my lips "How can you love a monster...? I don’t deserve you. You are magnificent... beautiful... how can you love a monster who couldn’t protect you, my princess, from the evil of the devil... I had to... I had to..." I kissed one more time so he wouldn’t keep talking.

"It’s not your fault. It’s his fault... I love you Tae and I don’t want you to destroy yourself because of him, because of his evil actions... You are...an angel..." He leans his forehead on my

"You are an angel, princess... but I swear to God. I swear by all the love I feel for you that I am done with that man! I will make him disappear forever. You will never hear from him again... I promise you..."

I kept staring at him, "He’s just a murderer! A monster! And I will protect you with everything I have from his intentions! You’ll never hear from V again."

I began to gently caress his cheek "You trusted that man so much... if there should ever be a trial against him... Your name might come up..." he grabbed my hand "There’s a reason I can assure you that it won’t cause any more trouble... I have a proof... and it’s this letter..." he said as he pulled an envelope out of his lab coat pocket.

"My Princess... I want you to have this letter. You decide whether or not to show it to the police. It’s from V and D it’s better to leave it in your hands. Do whatever you want with this. You’ll make the right choice... you’ve always done it... I no longer care about the fate of that man. He only brought tragedy and now he has completely lost my support."

I grabbed the letter and once I opened the envelope, I started reading it.

"I am sorry to have worried you. I was the beneficiary of the kindness of Dr. Kim for a long time. I am sorry I was not able to repay it. I have a safe and reliable system for my escape. You don’t have to worry about me anymore - Kim V"

"So... he left... did he really leave?" the letter had taken a burden off my heart. Maybe now without him in the neighborhood... Tae and I could live together peacefully.

"Yes... you’ll never hear something about him anymore. I promised... my love..." and he said that kissed me one last time.

"Then I’ll keep it with me for now and in case I conduct some other investigation"

"I trust you. I’ve always trusted all the choices you’ve made so far. Now let’s get off this floor. I start to feel sore in my knees" He took my hand and together we stood up.

"You know, Tae. I should probably go. I have some work to do and... But if you need me, I can always send them back to after" He shook his head "Nono go. I’m sure you have a lot to catch up on... but thank you for coming all this way. That’s one of the many reasons why I’ve always loved you..." I reddened. To think that Tae and I have been feeling the same things for years but we have always been cowards in dealing with our feelings makes me laugh a bit. Better late than never, right?

Now I saw him slightly better now that he had let off steam, but still a frown in his expression still did not convince me that he had told me everything. Maybe we should just forget and move on?

"Ah, Tae. Before I go. I have to ask you something... In his house V kept a diary where he talked that he always hid from us, but he had been watching us for years and that he had finally freed himself? I don’t know what he was talking about or what he meant. But I got really weird when he talked about what happened at the party with Seokjin... but he wasn’t there. Tae, I need to know... have you known about him since we were young?" He suddenly swung and began to stagger, but before he could fall I ran to him to lean on me.

"Hey, Tae... don’t worry," I told him as I sat him in the chair he had in the lab.

"Sorry... these two days have been terrible and I did not take care of myself. I’m practically exhausted ah ah ah. I just need to rest."

"Tae Tae..."

"About your question before... I swear by all the love I have for you that I didn’t know him before. He suddenly appeared in my life like a lightning bolt. I didn’t know him and he didn’t know me, but we both felt that there was something that bound us... as if we were... one person... but now he assures you. Forget his name and there will be no reason to remind you. Understood?"

I nodded as I grabbed his hand. It was so cold. He really needed to rest.

"Tae... I know you want to sleep now, but..."

"But, um..."

"... the terms of the will in case of your disappearance, it was V who threatened you and made you add them"

"Y/n... let’s say... yes..." I knew! That asshole must have threatened him with violence against him or those who love!!

"Tae... you’ve always been in danger. He wanted to kill you from the start!"

"Y/n...." and he lowered his head not to cross my gaze "That’s not the problem. I discovered something more important... something really very important..."

"Tae... "and I put my hand on his forehead. It was very hot. Probably the fever was leading him to total delirium.

"Tae... you’ll tell me at another time. Come with me... I’ll take you to bed in your room. You’ve been a damp room for too long. You need your strength back. Come with me."

I made him stand up and I gave him a hug around my shoulders to help him walk. Slowly we arrived in his room and I put him on his bed and tucked in his sheets. Feeling the softness of his mattress and pillow, Tae fell asleep immediately. Who knows what a bad time V had made him pass. But now I was one less problem. Finally he could rest and live peacefully. I gave him a kiss on the forehead and I left his room.

Jimin was waiting for me in the living room and as soon as he saw me, he ran towards me "So, Y/n? all right with the master?"

"Jimin... everything is fine with Tae. He had some thoughts going through his head but now he has calmed down and I put him to bed. Take care of him, he’s got a fever."

"Trust me. I’ll make him feel better and Dr. Kim who we all know will return!"

"I trust you" but before I could leave, something came to mind, "Jimin sorry... let me ask you a question. Did Tae between today and yesterday receive an envelope delivered by someone other than the postman? Do you know if V came by here to give him something?"

Jimin shook his head "Nothing was delivered except the usual mail. And there were no letters in between but only pamphlets and some bills. No one’s seen him in the last two days."

"I understand, thanks Jimin. I’ll be back soon to visit Tae and see how he’s doing. I know he’s not in good hands" and said that I went home.

It was late afternoon and I decided to light the fireplace. The crackling fire its heat was helping me to reflect on what had happened this morning with Tae. On the one hand I was glad that V had left and that Tae and I had confessed our mutual feelings but on the other hand I was worried... Was it really over? And that letter? Probably you gave it to Tae personally... it must have been that way. It was probably written in Tae’s studio. Better to be cautious and think carefully before acting. So I decided to call a trusted friend, Choi Yeonjun. He will definitely be able to analyze the handwriting. So I picked up the phone and called him.

"Hello, Yeonjun. How are you? I need your help tonight..."

That night

Yeonjun had just arrived at my house in a hurry. I had briefly explained to him what had happened and why I needed his service. He showed up as punctual as ever. He was a very respectable man and took his decisions seriously.

"Is this the letter with the calligraphy to analyze?" he asked me while I handed him the sheet "Yes, this is it. It’s a strange story and I’m sorry I didn’t tell you the details, but for now I prefer to leave them out... it’s all quite confused..."

"Don’t worry, I understand your situation. It was all sudden and shocking for you I imagine. Especially with the death of Mr Kim Seokijin..."

A weight to my heart was felt on my chest. Thinking of his death made me angry. How dare V do such a cruel thing to him of his stupid and psycho fantasies?

"... the man who attacked him must be a madman"

"He’s crazy, Yeonjun. The letter I just gave you was written by him. I want the matter to stay with us for now, please. Because above all I still do not know what to do with it... V seems to have disappeared and the letter itself is useless right now. Anyway, I want you to take a look at it. From the writing of people you can understand many things..."

"Exactly. Trust me," he said while analyzing handwriting with the naked eye, "Calligraphy itself is readable, but very bizarre at the same time. See how he tends to lean to the left?" he said as he showed me, "...that’s not a normal way to write."

"You’re right. Is it.... strange?" But immediately after Yeonjun’s gaze he turned to a piece of paper that was on my table. I approached and began to study it "Excuse me if I ask you... but this is from Dr. Kim"?

"Yes why? It was the letter found near the cover of Seokjin. It was no big deal. Jungkook gave it to me when he drove me home yesterday. He just says that Tae would apologize on behalf of Jin for his behavior at a party he set up a long time ago."

"Well... it’s very interesting. There’s a very peculiar resemblance between the two calligraphies. The angle of the pen is a bit different"

"Really?"

"Sure. It’s weird... isn’t it?" Tae told me that he didn’t know V before then, but as soon as they met, he felt a kind of connection, as if they were... a single entity... their writing is similar... or are the words that Tae told me are really true or...

"Please. Don’t divulge what has been discovered. I need to reflect."

"I understand you. I’m leaving, but if I find anything else, you’ll be the first to know," and he left me alone in my thoughts.

"You bastard V! Tae forged a letter to favor V!" Why would you do that? You probably wanted to do him one last favor before he disappeared into the darkness?

I couldn’t think of anything. A terrible headache was starting to throb on my temples. Well, V had left right? It was no longer a problem and so it is useless to ask certain questions now. Better go to rest. If anything ever comes up on V again, it will be the first to intervene to stop it. Tae has suffered more than enough. And having said that, I sat down in my chair while the heat of the fire helped me relax. And that’s how I let myself go into a dreamless sleep.
