It's been so long

Seems like ages went by

Yet here I stand again

So close to you

Yet you still don't know Kim Taehyung

Venom let out a soft sigh, her emotions weighing heavy on her as she stood in the doorway of the balcony. A conscious effort to contain herself, not wanting to disturb the serene and innocent expression on his face as he peacefully slept. The boy named Kim Taehyung. The moonlight streamed through, casting a gentle glow upon her figure, its rays that invaded past her gently caressing his features.

The door that had once served as the entryway for her to kill the boy now allowed her to see his very much live figure measuring every breath with the span of life. Despite learning the truth, she had not completely vanished, often lingering in the shadows near his house. But, when it came to actually trespassing into his space, her heart restrained her. The fluttering at the mere thought of intruding on his slumber held her back, creating an internal struggle within her.

The thought of seeing him again.

The thought of being close to him.

The thought of remembering everything she did to him. She hurt him and that was unforgivable even by herself.

Yet here now she stood again.

It became harder the more she stayed away and finally, she accepted that she couldn't stay away from him.

So once again, in the cover of darkness, she crept up the same balcony, the same path. From a hidden holster under her skirt, she retrieved a gleaming blade, a tool of her trade. Unlocking the door, allowing herself entry into his space yet remaining unaffected in the same space as him was a daunting task. The familiar surroundings stirred a whirlwind of emotions within her, causing her heart to race and her stomach to flutter. Venom was now aware of what was happening to her, understanding the nature of these feelings, but she purposefully avoided acknowledging the truth — that she cared, that she liked him.

I care for you. Could it be that I like you too? I can't fall in love with you, right?

I love you Jiahn. As she stood there, arms crossed over her chest, leaning against the door frame, her gaze fixated on the peaceful form of Taehyung, a voice echoed within the corridors of her mind palace. It whispered reminders of the past, the past that came with caring, and the potential pain that awaited those who dared to open their hearts. The voice urged her to decrease her distances, to unleash her emotions concealed and lower down her guard up. It resonated with her, tempting her to break the familiar walls she had built around herself, shielding her from the complexities of emotions.

He loves Me. And I- Do I love him back?

No?

Why so unsure? Do you care for him?

Yes

Then?

I like him. Maybe?

Maybe? Are you sure?

"I- I like you" she mumbled softly unknown to how her gentle murmurs knocked at the boy's slumber faintly.

Taehyung squirmed in his sleep, curling up to shield himself from the cooler air that seeped in through the open door, Venom couldn't help but notice his shivering. Her heart softened, and she took a step closer, her long hair cascading at her sides. With a tender gesture, she bent down and reached for the corner of the blanket, gently pulling it up to cover his body once more, ensuring he stayed warm and comfortable. At that moment, her caring nature momentarily broke through the barriers she had erected around herself, and she allowed herself to show a side of her that she usually kept hidden.

He is so beautiful and pure and I- I am tainting it all.

Could there be a way for him and me to build - us?

Could we be together? Would he accept me knowing what I am? What I did? And what I can possibly do?

Her chain of thoughts broke when a large hand grabbed her wrist tightly and yanked forth.

A gasp escaped Venom's lips as she suddenly found herself being pulled and stumbling onto the bed, enveloped in Taehyung's warm embrace. He clung to her, his arms wrapped tightly around her, burying his face in the crook of her neck. The sudden closeness overwhelmed her, causing her breath to catch in her throat. Her body tensed up, her eyes widening in surprise and uncertainty. Right there, a mix of emotions coursed through her, ranging from astonishment to a hint of panic, as she struggled to comprehend the unexpected intimacy of the situation.

Oh, Taehyung what more will you teach this heartless demon?

In his slumber, he grasped onto the feeling that touched him while it intensified enough to warm him up. Taehyung grasped the girl tightly nuzzling close as if it was his pillow. Her scent titillated his nostrils pumping excitement down to his heart at the familiar presence of the girl.

"Jiahn? Oh, I've missed you so much" Taehyung whispered in a raspy voice. The effect of doses and sleep evident in his voice .

And oh God if that didn't send goosebumps all across the former's existence. A small, involuntary squeak escaped Venom's lips as Taehyung nestled even closer, his lips lightly brushing against her neck, his warm breath sending shivers down her spine. Her hands remained clenched to her chest, trapped between her and Taehyung's arms. The rapid rhythm of her heart seemed to echo in her ears, and she could feel the heat radiating from her flushed cheeks. The warmth of his body against hers, the intimate contact he shared with her unknowingly, sent waves of unfamiliar emotions rushing through her. Her cheeks burned with a blush, and her mind struggled to make sense of the conflicting feelings swirling within her. It was a moment of vulnerability for her, and Venom was torn between the instinct to pull away and the desire to savor this fleeting closeness.

What are these weird feelings? Why is my heart pounding as if it will jump out of my chest at any moment? Why is it so hot all of a sudden?

Taehyung's warm and gentle breath tickled her neck, Venom's shivers only intensified, and her mind continued to whirl in a tempest of emotions. Her heart conflicted with her long-practiced facade of a heartless and cold-hearted killer. She was torn between her desire to push him away and protect herself from this newfound vulnerability and the undeniable pull of the affection she was developing for him.

For someone so accustomed to control and detachment, this vulnerability was unknown to the hazel-eyed girl. Her mind grappled with the fear of getting hurt, the fear of letting someone in, and the fear of acknowledging the softness that seemed to be unfurling within her. But with Taehyung, she felt a mix of protectiveness and tenderness toward him, a sensation she had never experienced before. And in her heart, she knew there was no turning back; the seeds of affection had been sown, and she couldn't ignore them any longer. She couldn't describe what exactly she felt. All she knew was that it was overwhelming yet addictive.

I want to run away and stay at the same time. What type of alcohol is this? So sweet so alluring. Yet kills the person with one shot.

"Jiahn, oh Jiahn, where'd you go my love? Why didn't you come sooner?"

Time seemed to stand still as Taehyung's drowsy eyes locked with Venom's startled gaze. The weight of his body hovering above her added a new layer of intimacy to their already close proximity. It was a moment of pure vulnerability, as her eyes gleamed with the unspoken, revealing the depth of their connection. She saw in his eyes as if he instinctively knew that she would be there for him, even in his sleep-induced haze. His swollen eyes reflected the weariness he carried, but also a glimmer of hope, as if he had found solace in her presence.

"I was so worried love, so worried that my heart ached"

Venom's mind raced with a flurry of thoughts and emotions, yet she found herself captivated by the boy's gaze. She could feel her own defenses crumbling under the weight of his vulnerability, and she wondered if she had the strength to navigate these uncharted waters. But as her eyes met his, a sense of clarity washed over her. She realized that her own fears and insecurities were merely obstacles to be overcome, for the bond between them was undeniable. No longer could she deny the tenderness in her heart or suppress the longing to love the man in front.

"But I'm so glad you came, Oh! What a beautiful dream it is"

Both palms by the sides of her head, both knees at the sides of her hip. He caged her, faces so close that venom felt his warm breath caressing her lips. Taehyung smiled so warmly through the curtains of sleep that still engulfed him and he felt like floating through a dreamland, but the glow of love that oozed from his eyes, venom felt it emerging from his existence and penetrating deep into hers.

"I wish to never wake from this" As his fingers gently glided towards her face, he tenderly brushed his thumb against her cheek. Taehyung's voice exposed how his senses were betrayed to the influence of medication that blurred the line between reality and the realm of dreams.

"I wish I stay with you always even if like this in a dream, I wish I never wake up. Jiahn, stay please don't go this time, not again, I don't want you to go again"

An unsteady exhale was what she gave off as his hand cradled the side of her face. She shut her eyes, surrendering to his touch, as the comforting warmth seeped into her chilled muscles. It seemed as though the warmth bypassed her face entirely, delving straight to her heart, dissolving the icy barriers and illuminating the shadowed corridors within her heart's castle.

"Taehyung, please don't touch me like this, I-I don't deserve-" She whispered, her hand reached forth as she placed it over his on her cheek.

"I love you so much Jiahn-ah" His deep voice once again sent stronger goose bumps across her existence.

"I love you too Taehyung"

Do I?

I-

Her words slipped away without her thinking about them first, is this how, the truth comes out? No words of lies and denies can hide it. Her heart fluttered the moment they exchanged their true feelings, an enticing dance of desire unfolded. Taehyung leaned, his sleep kissed eyes with orbs shining in the glow of love, he dipped his head, closing the distance between them.

Every inch lessening between them left her breath ragged with her gaze latching down to his lips, she wanted to touch him, feel him touch her, she wanted to kiss him and feel him kiss her back.

Taehyung inched close with his warm, tender lips pressing to the one's whom he caged underneath. Earning sweet gasps of desire. The world seemed to fade away, leaving only the soft, enticing sensation of their lips locked in a slow, steamy, and intimate embrace. His wet lips pressing to hers again and again as he nibbled and tugged at the flesh gently wanting to taste it for an infinity. The intensity of the kiss stirred a fire within them, sending shivers of pleasure down their spines, as they lost themselves in the enchanting magic of the moment.

Her hands found themselves travelling against the firm muscles under the fabric of his clothes till they found their place in his soft hair, slender pale finger's threaded past his hair gave a sudden tug to them and Taehyung moaned against her mouth. His tongue swiped between her lips before entering the warm sweet valley of her mouth and he kissed her harder, unleashing the true desires deep inside of him.

Sweet sounds of desperation filled the room as they kissed harder, deeper sharing a fire that combusted them to its intensity. His hands intertwined with hers, fingers digging to each other's so desperately as they pulled each other closer and closer.

She felt like drowning in the waters of sweet satisfaction, her heavy eyes giving out slowly and she relished in the mutual pleasure the two had.

I-I do. I love you, Kim Taehyung. I do!

"Be mine"

While their lips remained entangled in the passionate kiss, Taehyung found his voice, his words gently escaping into the sacred space between them. Each syllable he uttered caused Venom's heart to flutter so wildly, as if it were on the precipice of breaking free from the confines of her chest's cage.

Overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of the moment, Venom reluctantly parted her lips, breaking the connection. Her gaze, filled with a mix of desire and timidity, rose to meet Taehyung's eyes, her cheeks tinged with a deep blush. Their eyes locked, forging an unspoken connection as Venom's orbs delved into the depths of his, brimming with a myriad of emotions and unspoken longing.

"Jiahn?"

"Yes Taehyung?" Venom caressed his cheeks and asked softly.

"Stay"

8:00 A.M Morning

Her eyes twitched beneath her closed lids, and after a fleeting moment, they fluttered open, revealing a gaze filled with confusion taking in the unfamiliar ceiling above her. As she turned her head, her eyes scanned the surroundings, trying to make sense of the room she found herself in—an interior that held a strange mix of familiarity and unfamiliarity, like a puzzle missing a few pieces.

Where am I?

Blinking her eyes in an attempt to fully awaken, the girl found her movements restricted. Her gaze shifted downwards, revealing a pair of robust arms encircling her delicate form. With a mixture of surprise and recognition, her eyes followed the arms upward, finally settling on the face of their owner. In that instant, she couldn't help but gasp, as a rush of memories flooded back into her consciousness, weaving together the threads of their shared past.

I came here last night and-

Her gaze rested upon Taehyung's peaceful face and it brought a shy smile to her lips, his grip on her as if holding on desperately. Suddenly, the sound of clanking and rolling trolley tires grew audible from outside the room. The doorknob began to turn, jolting Venom into swift action. Pushing Taehyung aside, attempting to free herself from his grasp and get off the bed, she caused herself to lose balance, and tumble over the plush carpeted floor. Rolling herself under the bed with no time to flee from the room, she hid from the intruder's eyes.

"Good Morning" A captivating, masculine voice resonated through the room, filling the space with its melodious tones. Venom's attention was drawn towards the approaching figure, starting with a pair of feet adorned in vibrant yellow slippers, advancing into the room while dragging a small food trolley along. She instinctively retreated, inching further into the shadows, her gaze fixated on the intruder with curiosity.

Intruder? Wait isn't that her?

"Rise and shine sleepy ass" Jimin chirped and walked up to the windows to slide back the curtains. Taehyung groaned in distaste to such a forceful waking up.

"Ah~ Jimin, Why do you always do that? I hate it"

"Stop whining, you look like a pregnant lady throwing a tantrum in the middle of night"

"I want to throw a tantrum"

"So, you mean you accept being a stubborn pregnant lady?"

"Not yet but you'll get me to look like one if you keep feeding me like that" The said brought the latter to laugh out loud.

"Okay big boy get up and take a shower, you stink, then I have to feed you before Jungkook is here to pick me up"

Huh?

Jungkook?

......

Is it perhaps agent J? The smile faltered on her face and a frown took over.

I must be out of my mind to think that, Agent J and connections to KNIGHTS? Never!

"Don't start snoring in there, Brat" Jimin smiled and started straightening the sheets pulling the pillows in place oblivious to the pair of hazel eyes that tracked every step he took around the place.

"Jimin?" Taehyung called him from the bathroom.

"Yeah?" He yelled back.

"I forgot the towel" Taehyung yelled again.

"When have you ever taken it along before. Coming" Jimin yelled putting the pillows on the bed and strolled towards the bathroom with a towel in hand unaware of the dark figure that rushed past the space behind him and latched forth to the balcony, jumping off the railing swinging across with such silent grip that Jimin never knew if an intruder was ever there. An intruder he was to meet sooner than he thought.
