Chapter 18: He's Ruthless

Fahami's POV:

When I looked at Taesung, I found him looking like an angry beast ready to jump on his preys. But I knew better. He was this much angry because they said something absolutely bullshit about me. Taesung naturally had a very possessive nature. I noticed this when the first time he saw me with Hyunsu. Taesung was looking at him like an FBI agent, trying to read his mind through his body language. That day, I found it very amusing but not today. It wasn't just a game, it was about our safety and there was no hell way I would let them hurt Taesung.

"Don't worry Taesung. They can't hurt us." I hissed.

Before I could jump on my preys, something happened that left me totally stunned. Taesung marched forward and started fighting. That wasn't the shocking part. The shocking part was, he was fighting ruthlessly. That same boy who got beaten just few days ago and I treated him in my home was fighting ruthlessly with fifteen men. I couldn't blink because if I blinked, I would miss the scene. Taesung was swift and his fighting strategy told me how much well-trained he was. He was definitely a trained taekwondo fighter. Then why the hell he didn't fight that day? Then why did he decide to get beaten by just three men when he could ravish an entire gang? There was no answer. Only Taesung himself could answer. I was scared when one of them was pulling out a knife to hurt Taesung. Taesung didn't notice because that filthy man was going to hurt him from behind. The first time in my life, I was nervous during witnessing a fight. I was a fighter myself but I never flinched once during my fight. That's because I wasn't nervous like this. This time I was because it wasn't me who would get hurt. It was someone who was almost as close as Nabil to my heart. I panicked and instead of fighting with the filthy man I screamed, " Look out."

Taesung heard my cry and turned. That foul couldn't hurt Taesung, he was faster and snatched the knife from him and stabbed him on the shoulder. This time I felt dizziness. Taesung, violence, blood, what the heck was happening? Taesung was using the new weapon like it was a part of him and fought with more elegance. There were fifteen of them, and they were like Hydra because if Taesung brought one down, another one rose. Now I decided to fight.

When others were lying down on the ground unconsciously, and I was punching the last one around me, I heard Taesung asking something to someone. Hence, I dropped the one I was punching and turned toward Taesung.

"What did you say about her? Say that again."

Taesung pressed that man against a wall and left no space to escape. I could recognize that one who said he wanted to taste a foreign one.

"Say that again." Taesung roared. Even I flinched. He looked so angry, so deadly and so unknown. I couldn't recognize. Taesung stabbed the knife on his shoulder and said again, "Say that again." The anger in his voice was so frightening that any grown up man would cower in the corner. I had to stop this so I called him.

"Taesung." He didn't turn, didn't even response. I called him again.

"Taesung."

"Taesung."

I called him again and again, but he didn't even recognize my presence. The foul man was crying and he soaked his pants. He looked at me in hope that I would save him. I wouldn't but I would stop Taesung only for Taesung's sake.

Taesung again said, "I told you to say that again." Next Taesung did something too much brutal. He stabbed the man just above his chest in the middle of his heart and shoulder. The man screamed in pain.

Taesung again stabbed him and again said, "Say that again." He kept repeating and kept stabbing on that same spot again and again. The man was screaming and bleeding badly and if didn't stop Taesung, he could die.

I ran to Taesung and tried to stop him.

I held Taesung's arm that was stabbing and pulled him but couldn't make him move an inch. "Taesung, stop. Taesung stop, please stop. He will die. Taesung, stop, please." I cried in anxiety.

Taesung neither stopped stabbing nor I could move him. I could hurt Taesung to stop although I didn't want to hurt him. I wrapped my arms around his torso and pulled him. But he didn't stop. For that reason, I hugged him, rested my head against his back and pleaded, "Please. Taesung, stop."

This time he stopped and dropped the knife on the ground. He gradually turned towards me and looked into my eyes. Something in my eyes scared him because suddenly he looked panicked. He slowly retreated and said, "No, No, No." He kept whispering this word.

I called him, "Taesung."

He didn't look at my eyes anymore and looked at the ground.

"No, no, no...." He was screaming now.

I was scared seeing him like this. "Taesung, Taesung." I was pleading to clam him. But he didn't come down and kept saying, "No."

He looked at me for one last time and ran. He ran away from me. I stood there alone in all that mess. My instinct told me to run after him. My conscience told me to stay here and clean up the mess. I didn't know what to do. I looked at the man that was stabbed again and again. I walked to him and checked his pulse. He wasn't dead. I cleaned my hand and wrapped my right hand with my scarf. Then I searched his pockets to find his phone and dialed the emergency number.

I changed my voice and said, "Hello, someone has beaten me and my friends. We are injured deeply. Please, help us." I hanged up the phone and put the phone on his palm. Afterward, I picked up the knife and looked around to find any CC camera. Thank God it was a dark alley. Thereafter, I ran. I ran as fast as I could.

I didn't know what to do with the knife. If the police found out the knife, they would catch Taesung. I decided to keep the knife. If police found out something, I would be the guilty.

When I reached to the forth floor and knocked on Taesung's door, I didn't get any response.

"Taesung, please. Open then door." I knocked again.

"Taesung."

He didn't open, so I gave up. I went to my flat and took a long warm shower to clean up all the anxiety and stress. Although I couldn't clean up, all I could see was Taesung stabbing that man whenever I closed my eyes.
