Warmth

"Taehyung-"

"Shut up!" Taehyung snapped, angrily interrupting Jimin. I turned to find Jimin glancing back and forth in fright. He's so pale...? What's wrong with him?

"Taehyung, they're tailing us!" Jimin snapped, tightening his grip around my wrist. Moh? I quickly turned to look behind us, and sure enough, there was this black SUV... speeding up after us.

"Ahh~!" Taehyung groaned as he glanced through the rearview mirror in annoyance.

"One mistake and all the supreme alphas-"

"SHIT!" Taehyung cursed, suddenly taking a sharp turn- sending me slamming into Jimin and Seokjin onto me. Seokjin flopped on me unconsciously. Why is he so heavy!?

"Are you okay?!" Jimin shrieked, shoving Seokjin off me. I didn't say anything but turned to look at Taehyung through the mirror. Taehyung was furrowing his eyebrows and leaning forward with his eyes trained sharply on the road. Suddenly, a huge truck appeared out of nowhere to our left. Taehyung slammed the break again- sending all of us forward. I flew and bumped hard into the headrest. OWWW! What the hell? It hurts!

"Seatbelts on! Fuck!" Taehyung gritted, reversing the car, and we took a sharp turn down a narrow street instead. I turned to find Seokjin still slumped against the passenger's headrest. I quickly pulled him back onto the seat and buckled the seatbelt for him. I hope he'll break his neck, but we'll be responsible for hijacking his car, so I can't do anything. Suddenly, Seokjin's eyes slowly opened again after regaining his consciousness. Ah~ Why does he have to wake up so early?!

"Ah~ My neck... where am I?" Seokjin groaned. He rubbed his neck in discomfort... still dazed from the blow in his face. No one answered him, so he turned to look at me in confusion.

"I'm gonna smack-"

"YAH YAH YAH! WHY AM I STILL HERE!? YAAAAAH!" Seokjin started screaming the moment he realized we were still in the car. Aish... I knew it!

"Shut up, will you?!" Jimin snaps angrily at Seokjin. But Seokjin's eyes grew wider every minute.

"DO YOU REALIZE EVERY SINGLE ALPHA IS AFTER US RIGHT NOW?! THIS IS A JACKPOT FOR THEM! ONE BLAST AND ALL OF THE SUPREME IS ALPHAS ARE DONE! DEAD! YOU HEAR ME, DUMBASS?! AND NO- I DON'T WANT TO GO TO HELL JUST YET!" Seokjin snaps at Jimin like a madman. I'm questioning his sanity at this point.

"What the hell?!" Taehyung gasped when a car rammed right into us. To our horror, the car kept on slamming against the side of our car until Taehyung lost control of the steering wheel. THUD. THUD. THUD.

"EOMMA! PLEASE SAVE ME!" Seokjin screamed as we swung back and forth from the impact. Taehyung quickly pulled onto the highway and accelerated the speed. Are we going to die?? I'm scared...

"YOU'RE NOT HELPING! SO SHUT UP!" Taehyung howled, trying to escape the black SUV, but it didn't work as it continued to crash into us.

"ARGHHHHH!" Taehyung roared when the SUV slammed into us again... so hard- Taehyung lost control of the car. We forcefully crashed into the highway barrier, and to my horror, we landed on the other side of the highway. OH MY FUCKING GOD.

"YAH YAH YAH!? WHAT THE FUCK!?" Jimin screamed, tensing up as rows and rows of cars headed toward us in the opposite direction. BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP! The cars frantically honked as we drove in the wrong lane. My body grew cold as I watched the headlights of the cars... racing toward us and flashing their lights in panic.

"ARGHHHHH!" Seokjin screamed when Taehyung merely pissed a car just as another one appeared before us so Taehyung swerved back to the right- just to meet another car. BEEP BEEP BEEP! I swayed from left to right as Taehyung drove in the wrong lane. I was so scared everything turned numb inside me. We have a 0.0000001 chance of surviving...

We're dead.

"What on earth is going on?!" Mr. Jeon appeared in bewilderment. Taehyung said nothing as he bent down to gasp for air. Jimin leaned against the car in difficulty- trying to calm himself while I stood in shock. I've never been so scared. I'm numb... I can't feel anything...

"Y-yah..." Seokjin stuttered, stumbling off the car, but his legs wiggled weakly, so he collapsed onto the ground in defeat. No one said anything as we tried to recollect our senses. So close. So damn close. Taehyung suddenly threw up on the ground while panting for air. He must be in extreme shock since he was the one driving.

"Can someone explain why my son is in the ER with two other alphas-"

"They were poisoned at the club- AH!" Seokjin gasped, attempting to get back onto his feet, but his leg gave up on him again, so he fell back onto the ground.

"Taehyung!" Mr. Jeon snapped when Taehyung got up and quickly dashed into the mansion after barfing.

"We can't help the two alphas," Mr. Jeon insisted, bitterly turning to stare at Seokjin.

"We have to," I quickly turned to look at Mr. Jeon in shock. I won't let them die...

"They're not our allies," Mr. Jeon said shortly. This caused a fire to erupt inside me. What did he say?

"My parents are not here. Therefore, I will make my own decision. As a supreme alpha, I will save all of them, and you can't stop me!" I fiercely roared at him before stomping off in anger. I won't listen to them anymore! I have the power now, and I will not let anyone take it away from me!

"Get him out!" Taehyung's voice echoed down the hall. Oh no... ah~ he's such a nuisance...

"Imo..." I whispered when I came face to face with her. She looked nervous. Wae?

"He's very upset," She whispered, turning to look at Taehyung, who was shouting at the nurses and staff.

"I want him out of here! Now!" Taehyung demanded, making the nurses flinch in fear.

"YAH KIM TAEHYUNG," I bellowed as I stomped up to him. Still breathing heavily, he turned to look at me dead in the eyes...

"Moh-"

"Stop being an asshole!" I angrily slapped him right across the cheek. I did it so hard I could feel the pain surging up my palm. Taehyung turned stiff and stared at me in shock. He deserves it! I bet no one has ever had the courage to slap him before! I must be a dead meat to him now, but I don't care!

"STOP BEING AN ASSHOLE. I'M SO TIRED OF YOU! THIS IS WHY PEOPLE LEAVE YOU! BECAUSE YOU'RE SO FUCKING HEARTLESS AND ARROGANT!" I roared at him in extreme anger.

"What did you say?" Taehyung slowly averted his killer eyes towards mine.

"Yah!"

"Taehyung!" Imo gasped when Taehyung launched forward and pinned me against the wall, so hard, I think my skull cracked into pieces. Before she could say anything else, Taehyung suddenly yanked me down the hallway.

"Sora?! What are you doing?! YAH!" Jimin appeared at the end of the hallway in bewilderment just as Taehyung shoved me into his room and slammed the door shut.

"YAH! LET HER OUT! SORA?!" Jimin banged against the door in a panic. Taehyung quickly turned to glare at me, and for a moment- I thought I saw his eyes flashing red... just like the dream I had. No... I took a step back in horror. No- Sora, you can't be weak.

"WAE?!" Taehyung roared, yanking off his jacket and angrily threw it onto the floor. Taehyung started unbuttoning his upper buttons fiercely as his face grew bright red. I quietly watched him in fear. I've never seen him this angry. Bulging veins were forming on his arms and forehead.

"I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU! I DON'T SEE THE POINT OF- AHHH!" I yelped in pain when Taehyung gripped my wrist so hard I felt as if he snapped all of my bones.

"WHY SORA? WHY? WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LISTEN TO ME-"

"BECAUSE I'M TIRED OF BEING AFRAID OF YOU! EVERYTHING YOU DO INVOLVES VIOLENCE! DON'T YOU HAVE A FUCKING BRAIN-"

"DON'T YOU DARE!" Taehyung gritted, pinning me against the wall.

"DON'T YOU FUCKING ARGUE WITH ME- AHHH!" I screamed in pain when Taehyung squeezed my shoulders with all his might. I will not lose to him! Not anymore!

"YOU DON'T HURT PEOPLE YOU LOVE, KIM TAEHYUNG! HOW CAN I UNDERSTAND YOUR NEEDS WHEN YOU KEEP ON TREATING ME LIKE THIS?! HUH?! YOU DON'T FUCKING HURT PEOPLE YOU LOVE! THIS IS NOT LOVE. IT'S YOUR OBSESSION TO OWN SOMEONE FOREVER!" I screamed while glaring at him as pain thumped in my chest.

"M-Moh...?" Taehyung scoffed at me in disbelief. He suddenly eased his grip as he stared at me, making my chest burn in pain. When will he realize it?

"You... You think you have the ability to own anyone... but no... not me... not me, Kim Taehyung. Not me," I seethed while glaring at him with tears in my eyes. He needs to accept the truth...

"I-"

"You- You built the wall so high... and so thick... yet you want us to be with you...? It doesn't work like that," I shook my head and pushed Taehyung off me. He took a couple of steps backward with his eyes on the ground.

"I built it because of the past between us-"

"Because Haerim left you. Ara. Because she was your first love. Because she left you hanging without any answers, and that's why you've been shutting yourself out. At the same time, you're doing what she's doing to you. Leaving people lost and confused, did you know that?" I asked, furiously smacking his chest once... and then again as a single tear rolled down my cheek. Taehyung kept on taking a step back as I confronted him.

"You've been doing it repeatedly to the point your heart turned ice cold. Even for the person- you love, it can never be warm again. Why? Because it's frozen by your arrogance," I spat as a stream of heavy tears trickled down my cheek. I raised my fist to smack him again, but he caught my wrist, dangerously averting his piercing glower to me.

"No. You have seen my tears," Taehyung whispered in a thrilling tone. What is he saying?

"Moh?" I stared at him in confusion. His eyes turned red with a glimpse of tears. I can't tell if he's upset or angry...

"My heart was frozen- that's true, and so were my tears... but because of you... you... made my tears flow again... the effort to freeze my emotion is ruined... because of you- it's melting. Does it make sense? For you to burn my chest like this? Tell me, Sora- What is it exactly? You. Jang Sora. You... Are. The. Cause. Of. The. Warmth. In. My. Chest. And I hate it. I fucking hate it," Taehyung shakily gritted while staring at me. His words turned me speechless. I was taken aback, so I stared at Taehyung with my mouth hanging open. I already knew, but why does it still surprise me?

"Yah- Kim Taehyung-" I was cut short from attempting to pull my wrist free when he suddenly leaned in to press his lips against mine. My whole body turned stiff as I stood staring at him in shock. Taehyung pants heavily against my face with his eyes closed as he holds onto my jaw. My heart stopped beating as I stared at him without blinking, unable to move my body.
