{{Long ass chapter ahead}}

It is not mandatory for the things which are present right before our eyes ...is true ......sometimes the truth and the true self can be hidden between the opaque layers of enigma ...where nobody could find them ......

You never know .... when the person you know or trust the most ......could turn out to be the most puzzling person you've ever met....

Anything can happen in this sudden wheel of life, nothing is predictable ...

Predictable things frequently lose their appeal, whereas unpredictable things give life their flavor.

Your life also unexpectedly changed, and you had no idea how catastrophic and dreadful it was going to be.

The curtains were swaying in the early morning breeze as the morning crept into that pitch-black space.

You were dozing off deeply with your eyes closed.

Your entire body was in a tight grip—a powerful possessive grip—but your deep sleep was all over your mind

Your back was supported on a hard chest, while your waist was clutched ...

He buried his head in your neck and inhaled deeply ...trailing wet kisses down your throat, he continued making himself alive....

His right hand which was around your waist, sneaked under your nightwear ...and fondles with your soft tummy...

"It's so hard Babygirl...so ...so hard to resist you..." He rasped in your ear and clutched you more tightly...

He balanced himself on his elbow and got a good view of your face...

He smiled deviously and caressed your face ....

"Well...patience is the sweetest fruit, is it? ...you are almost mine ..."

Heavy sleeps are like a different realm of fantasy but at some point .... we have to return to our reality

...No matter how deep is your dream ....it ends when this outer world knocks on us....

You were in a deep sleep, yet not that deep that those touches and whispers couldn't wake you up ...

So why haven't you woken up?

"Y/N-ie ! ...did you take your medicines today?" Seokjin asked you while you were combing his hair ....

"Aww...you remember right?" you cupped his face making him pout ...

"OfCourse, I do!" His eyes shined with pride ...

you laughed and went away to grab your medicine kit ....

you don't take any serious medication, just some anti-allergens ....

He reminds you every day ....to take them because if not your condition could get worse ....

you took your pills ...and kissed his forehead

He never forgets to remind you your medicines ...oh how much you adore this man...

This...this is what is called unpredictability....

You never knew the person you adore the most would do you this way, and yet you were still clueless about this side ...

"It's time to wake baby "He buried his face in your neck and took a deep breath in order to survive the entire day.

He woke you up by sprinkling water over your eyes from a jug that was left nearby during the nightstand ...

your face scrunched and you slowly opened your eyes ....

"Seokjin...why do you always wake me up like this?" you whined and tried to sleep more 

"Y-You were not waking up Y/N-ie.." he hugged you from behind and pouted against your neck

Feel the shift in his tone and expression; only a moment ago, Kim Seokjin was lusting after you, but now he is just an adorable man

His eyes were always fixed on you, and no matter how you spoke, they contained gloom. Your innocence was overshadowed by a sense of possessiveness and fixation, which you were unaware of......and who knows for how long ...you will unaware of Seokjin's this side...

"W-What have you decided then?"

Mr. Kim asked you ......in a hopeful tone ....

you fiddled your fingers in anxiousness and bit your lips....

It's been 2 weeks since Mr. Kim offered to marry his son ....and you were in Delima since then.......

When the choice is to gamble with your life, even the whole life ...seem to be short

We are taught to prioritize our loved ones before ourselves, and we typically do just that.

A mother thinks of her child before eating whether he has eaten or not.... A father thinks of his child before spending his money on himself ....

This is not their responsibly ...this is their love language ....

but we can all agree that this habit of placing others' needs ahead of our own ruins us. Some people call them selfish ....and some people call it ...self-love ...

Thinking of yourself ....to a certain point is healthy ......nobody comes with a lifetime responsibility of someone ......

Your mind was a real example of what we call a mess...2 weeks...your mind was trying to find the pros and cons of marrying Seokjin ...and yet, last night you came to a solution...

"I-I can't marry him ...Mr. Kim"

You care about him ...actually you care about him a lot more than you think.... but......that doesn't imply that you will be ready to cattle off your life like this...

"W-Why?" Mr. Kim kept his voice in check as he searched your face for clarification.

"I can't do that to Seokjin this is unfair ...." you reasoned

You're reasoning to deny his offer was very clear, Seokjin deserves to marry the girl that he wants ...He sees you as a best friend ...and you shouldn't take that fact for granted ....

And what when he gets normal? .... he will never accept the fact that you are his wife ...he will probably hate you...and that hate is what you can't digest ...

You explained to Seokjin's father all your reasons why you can't marry his son .... for which his face was just......blank

He didn't respond to any of your arguments just stared at you......blankly

'She is not going to understand like this...'

He chuckled sinisterly and buried his face in your neck....

The wind was ferocious, the night was gloomy, and there was no moon in the sky.... you were asleep as usual....and were in his hold....

"The Kitten wants it hard way"

Growling he smirked near your nape and held you more tightly 

"The hard way it is then..."

"Y/N-ie!" 

He excitedly held your waist when you were cooking breakfast....

"Yes Seokjin!" 

you smiled widely and continued making breakfast when he was hugging you from back...

"What are you making?" 

he whispered in your ears sending shivering through your spine ...You flinched a little but smiled anyway, "Pancakes!" 

You settled those pancakes on the table and took a seat .... suddenly you face was morphed with determination

"Seokjin"

"Yes Y/N" 

he smiled towards you...his mouth was covered with maple syrup ...You shook your head and wiped his face with your sleeves...

"We have the doctor's appointment today..." 

you carefully stated and waited for his reaction ......and there it was ...His smile was immediately wiped off and a blank expression took place 

"I....Don't want to ..." He mumbled ...sadly 

"But I want you to go Seokjin..." you caressed his cheek and gave him an encouraging smile ....

"He will cure you ...then you will become a... a....big boy!" 

you chuckled and cupped his cheeks but his expression remained the same 

"Do you...not like me now?" 

he asked with a strain in his voice ...you gasped and scooted closer to him 

"Who said that? .... I Love you Seokjin-ie.... I just want you to become .... cooler!"

You tried to persuade him like one does to a 5-year-old...and basically this what his mental age ......Seokjin smiled with a strange look in his eyes ...

"I will become cool for you..." 

"Hello Kim Seokjin..." 

The doctor smiled politely towards your best friend but he kept his face cold ...This psychologist served as Seokjin's regular physician.

 He typically suggests that you take him to his cabin every three months

"Seokjin, can you help me solve them?" 

A paper with various case study questions was given to him by the doctor.

Seokjin quietly nodded and took the paper ...and the pen ...10 minutes hence, the room was silent .... The silence was deafening ...The doctor kept his gaze on Seokjin ...observing him closely 

The scribbling of pen was the only possible sound made in that room ......A few minutes later, Seokjin finished .... he pushed the paper away towards the doctor and threw the pen on the floor Dragging the chair...harshly ...he stood up glaring at doctor 

"Handle it..." 

he mumbled as he spoke for the first time, He turned without giving any shit to the grinning doctor .... just when he was about to touch the doorknob ....

"I never understood, why are you doing this Kim Seokjin...." 

The Doctor was somewhat startled as Seokjin's head abruptly turned to face him.

"Mind your fucking business" 

Seokjin glared looking straight in his eyes ....

"No, why are you making fool of that girl Seokjin .... anyone can see through her and tell how much she adores you.... she'll leave you one day if you- "

"Don't fucking forget your limits!"

Seokjin swiftly turned to face and grabbed his neck tightly .... choking him 

"I didn't feel like talking, but you just had to bark with that snotty mouth, didn't you?" 

He choked him harder while whispering angrily.

"Dare to fucking preach me next time ...I'll kill you!"

He threw the doctor out of his grasp, the doctor coughed uncomfortably...

Tsking, Seokjin knelt down next to him.

"Parrot out whatever I have told you.... Don't try to be over smart ...Dr. you know me otherwise.... "

"I'm sorry, Miss Y/N, but we aren't seeing any signs of improvement in his condition right now. I have sent other clinics his profile; you must go there to get him looked out further."

Only you knew how much your heart ached listening to that Doctor's words......at last, he lost his hope too....

"I told you Y/N, there is no way left for Seokjin to get normal like earlier .......you have to compromise like that..."

Mr. Kim placed his hand on your shoulder, while you sobbed silently telling him the exact same words as the doctor ...This would be the nth doctor who denied treating Seokjin because of his not-improving state ...

"W-What should I do? " You controlled your sob and clutched your mouth

"I told you Y/N ...Only you can cure him not any other doctor ...."

Your mind was a havoc of emotions .... you couldn't comprehend anything .... You were losing hope in the treatment of Seokjin ...You were in a vulnerable situation where you were going to do everything to make Seokjin normal once more.

"If me being his wife will cure him...then I will marry him."

Circumstances ...

circumstances are those weird situations that can make a person do anything under compulsion...

You were only 5 years old when you first saw his condition ... and from that day, that 5-year-old girl was determined to help her friend at any cost ...

Over the years, you tried your utmost best to help him .... You took psychology just to help him ...it was like your life had only one motive ......to see Seokjin normal again ...

This much dedication ...this much of love .... can anyone even think about betraying this type of trust?

Unfortunately, somebody did ...

The engagement, the wedding was all in blur .... but one thing was sure...Seokjin never objected once in this situation, like he was waiting for this....

Mr. Kim was too happy to even consider your concerns ...just as he heard your decision, he was already preparing for the wedding...

within, one week ...you were married to Kim Seokjin 

Your mind didn't get enough time to explore more options ......you didn't even have a idea ...on how you were going to help Seokjin ...further 

"Y/N, these are the keys "

Mr. Kim handed you the keys; keys of the new mansion ......he believed that you and Seokjin need a new environment for your new life 

No matter how much you denied, he was stubborn ...and at last you took those keys ...

Seokjin was smiling happily and swaying his legs while you were packing your bags ...

"Seokjin, why so happy... hmm?" you smiled looking at him with a slight confusion

He was swinging his happily but suddenly halted and smiled 

" Nothing..."

You unlocked the door to the and entered with the luggage 

The car ride to the mansion was...silent 

too silent for your liking, all the time Seokjin was just looking outside the window...

you dragged the bag and sighed heavily 

"Seokjin! I am going to settle the bedroom, okay? ..." you practically yelled because Seokjin was still outside doing God knows what...

With ease you dragged that bag to the bedroom upstairs ...and you opened the gate and involuntarily a gasp left your mouth

{The windows are draped with the curtains.}

'Geez...this room is so.... creepy...'

You cautiously entered the room while your face scrunched up in discomfort.

Your skin began to develop goosebumps as you continued to stroll in the dark.

Even in the darkness, you managed to see the windows, so you slowly walked up to it and pulled the drapes open ...

A gush of dust was blanketed around you ...you coughed out loudly 

You were coughing loudly with your eyes closed, and without realizing what you were doing, you grabbed another curtain and opened it.

You gently opened your eyes, and the horrible scene that you witnessed caused you to scream.

Your legs grew weak, and you collapsed in disbelief.

your horrified self was scooting away from that thing ...

It was a painting of a girl.... painted with red 

You were hyperventilating, and your chest was rising and falling with your rapid breathing. That painting was staring at you in the face.

"Surprise..." 

You screamed louder and snapped your neck in response to a whisper in your ear.

"S-Seokjin..."

"Yes baby" 

He smiled ......creepily 

"You found that masterpiece, didn't you?" he titled his head in amusement ...

He knelt near your face .... his eyes were ...odd 

Not his usual innocent gaze ....it was dark and enigmatic ....

"Tsk...tsk...tsk aren't you my curious little kitten?" he smiled and came close to you...

Your mind was blank ...it was comprehending nothing ...

The man whom you witnessed shuttering over small sentences was now, talking in full one with a horsed and frightening voice 

"W-Who are y-you..." You shaky delivered and tried to get away from him as soon as possible ...

Because ...this was not Seokjin you knew ...he impersonates devil

The man in front of you just sighed and grabbed your ankle ...pulled you over him...

"Your Seokjin..." he answered simply and giggled ...

You became so terrified that tears began to gather in your eyes ...you were shivering like a leaf...

"Never thought you would be finding out all this like that..." He sighed heavily and came more closer to you 

"Well...life is unpredictable" he caressed your hairs and smiled brightly 

"Welcome home wifey..." 

Shivers 

shivers ran down your spine .... you were gasping for air 

All these things happening around you were so...overwhelming

"Y-You w-were never-"

"Yes, I was normal all the time .... surprise again!" He lifted you up and giggled before placing you on his lap.

Your body went numb 

you looked at him with utter ...betrayal

You wailed inconsolably and screamed loudly "How could you?!"

As soon as you stopped screaming, you noticed his eyes become dimmer and the arms around your waist becoming somewhat more constricted.

He tightened his jaw and took hold of your neck "Never intended to, but you made me do it"

"I could have approached you in a normal way Babygirl......but you have to make things complicated !!" he choked you more mercilessly and glared at you with .... darkness 

He saw you face getting paler ...so he jerked your neck harshly and breathed heavily 

You coughed loudly gasping for air ...and gazed at him with your terrified red eyes ....

"S-Since W-When...." 

"12 years'"

When you realized, your eyes began to cry again.

He has been treated ever since he was 18 and has yet managed to make you look foolish over the years.

Fury overcame your senses .... you brought your fist on his chest started punching him aggressively 

"W-WHY DID YOU DO THIS ME! I FUCKING LOVED YOU?!"

"AND .... WHAT ABOUT ME HUH?!" he threw on the wooden floor and hovered over you pinning your wrist 

"What about me baby.... what about that Seokjin who loved you more than anything but you...... ungrateful brat never saw me more than a fucking best friend! or even worse brother?! " 

 Brother?

"Remember my 18th birthday party sweetheart? "He pleasantly questioned you, his demeanor deflecting Worsley.

he buried his face in your neck while you whimpered with his touch ...

"It was my birthday ...but I wanted to gift you instead...that was the day when I wanted to tell you that I am back to normal...but..."

Soon-to-be 18-year-old Kim Seokjin was happily walking down the hall of his mansion, he was excited to reveal to his father and you that he was treated ....

With constant medications and psychotherapy, Dr. Junseo managed to bring him back to his 18-year-old state ......

Seokjin was dismissed by the doctor 1 week ago, but didn't let anybody know ...because he wanted to surprise his family 

The family of his father and his ...12-year-old future girlfriend...

He stood nervously in front of his father's office and was about to knock when ......he heard footsteps coming towards him .... without realizing he hid behind the pillar ...

He tilted his head a little and saw you entering his father's office ...

He was happy, that now you both witness his surprise together 

you entered the door and closed it ...

He again came across the door and raised his hand to knock...but

"Angel...Seokjin is going to be 18 today..." he heard his father's voice...

Dropping the idea of knocking .... Seokjin decided to eavesdrop

"I Know right Mr. Kim, I'm so excited!" A smiled twitched on his face hearing your voice 

"It's good that you are excited Angel, can I ask you something?"

"Do you love Seokjin?" 

Seokjin heard his father's voice ...hearing his father's question he glued his ear more to the door...

Seokjin got anxious when he heard nothing in reply ......after a minute of silence ...he heard you ...

"No, I don't Mr. Kim .... he is my best friend ...more like a brother..."

His world crashed that day hearing you reply ....

The woman he has loved since the first moment they met will never truly love him as a man and woman....

That was the day a new obsession was born...a new madness was born 

 Obsession of keeping you to himself...a madness to make you his 

You were a young, innocent 12-year-old who had no logical idea of .... what was Love 

Still, a question was thrown in your way ...and yet, you tried to answer it with your understanding without any idea of ...what the future holds ...

"12 years Babygirl, I've been waiting years to cage you. I waited until you were an adult so I could accomplish everything I had wanted to do with you since you were five years old"

He smirked deviously and buried his face more in your neck......

you were disgusted ......you were angry 

you squirmed uncomfortably and cried silently 

"Your dad will be disappointed in you" you mumbled quietly and felt him stiffening ....

He was breathing heavily for few minutes, then he suddenly started ...laughing 

His giggles were making you more terrified ....

"My baby, don't say anything you don't know."

"Now....my wifey, the moment of truth is here Shall be we began our honeymoon?" 

"N-No please ..."

"Y-Yes baby..." he mocked and laughed ...

Your struggle, your screams, your pain ......all subsided in that room ....

You sobbed silently grazing at that large window ...tears were dripping by the side of your eyes ...

Never in your dreams you thought ...the person you adore the most ...will torment you this way 

Your trust was betrayed, you were played ......you were raped ...

The door to that room opened with a creak and that same enthusiastic voice made its way to your ears...

"Wifey!" 

Seokjin entered the room with his hands full of food tray ....

"I knew it you would be tired after all this!" he smiled and sat across you on the bed 

He pushed forward the pancakes and told you to eat ...

You just stared at him with your dead eyes without blinking ....

"Eat" he stared at you blankly when he saw no movement in your body...

He was looking ...happy ...after ruining your life ...he was happy...

Your mind can't bear to look at his happy face ...you loath him .... he did the unforgivable ......and you already knew what you have to do now ...

"Just accept your reality as soon as you can because there is no way getting away from me..."

Some emotions snapped in your eyes as soon he spat those words ...he knew your eyes were filled with hatred for him .... but the truth is that ...he doesn't really care about that....

As long you are with him ...he doesn't care...

When Seokjin was busy completing his meal, you cautiously glanced at the empty ceramic plate that was on your right hand before secretly grabbing it and clutching it hard.

Seokjin looked up at you and .... *Smash*

You smashed that white ceramic plate ...on his head ...

Your breath hitched ....and your hand halted in the air ....

The shards of the plate scattered across the bed and you saw the line of blood dripping from his eyes ...

You expected his face to be furious but it was ......expressionless 

You cowered in fear when you heard his maniacal laughter....

"The kitten got paws..."

Shivers ran down your spine ....in panic ...you hurriedly stood up on your feet and tried to run...

You were hyperventilating ...your breathing was rushed ...

You anticipated that he would pursue you and eventually catch you since that is what maniacs do, right?

But ...to your surprise ...no one came behind you ...

You hurriedly climbed down the stairs, his laugh was still very audible from upstairs 

"Run Kitten run! .... because when I catch you, I'll break your legs!"

You dreadfully gulped and approached the gate ....

It was open too! 

you swung the door open and looked back for any signs of him but ....no 

His laughter was echoing that creepy mansion .... you finally stepped out of that mansion barefooted ...

You need to approach the police ...or someone you ...trust...

You sprinted with your all might...momentarily looking back in fear ...

The locality of that mansion was new .... You had no idea where the nearest police station was ....

You ran barefooted for the 2 hours in those busiest streets of Korea ...

2 hours, your leg gave up and you fell down on the road .......with no hope ...

Your throat was dry, and your mind was continuously alarming you ...to run ...

You screamed loudly ...in frustration 

'He will be coming any minute now...'

your hands were shaking .... you couldn't comprehend anything...

"Y/N?" a hand on your shoulder .... made you snap your neck ...in terror 

You screamed and scooted away ...

Y-Y/N it's me"

your teary eyes cleared a little and saw ...the person you need the most right now...

Kim Soo-Hyuk

"M-Mr. Kim!" you hugged him tightly and cried 

"H-He tricked us all ...... He's a psychopath." 

Like that you...shuttered all your pain to him ...

"let's take you home hmm?" 

That's all he said .... You tried to talk to him one more time but he interrupted you telling to 'we will talk at home...'

"He is a psychopath! .... he is mentally unstable .... sir, he was acting all along .... he is a maniac we need to call the police ..." you took the cold water from his hand and drank it thriftily

 "H-He is obsessed with me sir; he will kill me please help me" you cried and holding his hand ...

You were trying to make him understand from the past 10 minutes, instead of giving a response or least an expression ....

He just stared at you...

"W-What are you looking at Mr. Kim ...please call the cops, Seokjin will kill me!" you held his hand desperately and pleaded with your red eyes ...

"C-Call the cops please he is insane..." you cried silently 

But still, no response ...

"W-Why are you not saying anything Seokjin is insane he will kill us- AHH!"

You yelled in agony as your hair was forcibly grabbed from behind. 

Mr. Kim was still sitting in front of you.... Your heart sank ....

'No... No' 

You chanted in your mind and closed your eyes.... fearing the worst ...

"Gotcha..."

He turned you around forcefully, and smirked victoriously ...

"Caught my little kitten .... Thanks dad!"

Betrayal 

Your eyes pooled with betrayal, you looked at his father with anger and hatred 

"Why?" 

Mr. Kim collected himself and got to his feet, creasing his pricey suite.

"Angel..." for the first time in life he you were disgusted with his nickname 

"I love you.... but I love my son more..."

23 years, you spend with this man .... misunderstood him as your father figure ....

You loved him as your father .... you served him as a daughter would do ...

But what did you get in the end?

Just a precious little tag, that a foster child could never be loved more than a blood related one

All your hopes to survive in you.... died 

He knew all along that his son was normal, this is why ...his face held no reaction when you told him .... this is why he was in so much hurry ...for yours and Seokjin's marriage

He was your last hope .... because if you run to the police telling them your situation .... he was a lawyer, he will definitely twist the case 

You have nothing to do now...expect surrender...

"If your little marriage could keep my son ...sane, then who I am to take away his happiness?"

Your cried helplessly, your future held nothing more than an enigmatic darkness 

But what about you? Why was your life sold like this ......to a psychopath?

You knelt down on your hands and knees out of tiredness and despair......

Seokjin crouched down near your body...

"Tsk...Y/N ...You have only one option left.... accept your reality ..."

"You be a good little wife to me; I'll treat you as my queen ...."

Was there any way left?

No...

'Losing all your hopes, you became his little priced possession ...'

'You were bond to be trapped in his enigmatic Darkness ......'

"You are my sanity, my baby. Without you, even breathing feels like a chore."

'.... The man who can pretend to be unsound for 12 years, just imagine.... how far he can go ...to keep you with him...'

The End 

Some easter eggs of Enigma

> That painting in that creepy bedroom was made of blood .... most probably that blood was of Seokjin Itself...
