In the dimly lit chamber, Namjoon was excited to see Y/n. She said she wanted to experience their wedding night again.

Maybe it would spark the fire in their relationship again. But his excitement turned to dress as the heavy door slammed shut behind him.

He smiled as he saw Y/n blowing the candle, she was wearing a red dress, which was complimenting her body, it truly reminded him of how she was looking on their wedding night. She doesn't like the color red.

She stepped closer to him, he cupped her face. "You look so beautiful, Y/n."

"Thank you honey, my beauty is because of you." She replied, while her hands undressed him. He couldn't see properly, he could only see her face and her body because of the dim light.

She held up the chain, "You want to chain you?" He asked.

"I want to chain you." She replied as she handcuffed her wrists.

She blew the last candle too, it got completely dark.

The air was thick with tension as he strained to see through the darkness. Rats scurried in the corners, their squeaks echoing through the stone walls.

"Honey," Y/n spoke.

"What is this Y/n?" He asked.

"You are forgetting don't you? Our wedding night, you know how it was right? You remember how it was for me? Do you?" She asked

Namjoon, bewildered, took a step back, hitting the wall. "Y/n, what is the meaning of this? Why have you brought me here?"

A sinister smile played on Y/n's lips, "I wanted to hear the painful screams, this time coming from you."

She signaled to the shadows, and the rats scattered, leaving Namjoon alone in the oppressive darkness with rats.

They were hungry and wanted to feast on anyone. She left the room yet she could hear his screams.

Wondering if he was feeling the pain she did because of him, perhaps not, no matter what she does, it will not be enough, it will never be enough.

After a few minutes, she looked at the guards, "It's enough."

They nodded their head and went inside to put the rats in the cage again, she went to the room, just to see him on the floor with a few open wounds, it must be painful, as some parts of her skin were eaten by the rats. "If I had left them for some more time, they would have eaten you completely until the morning."

She said as she approached him, "Why did you stop them huh?" He asked. "You love me Y/n, no matter what, you can't k'll me with your own hands." He said.

She chuckled and shook her head. "I am not the monster you expected me to be."

She stepped closer, and she could see the eaten part of his legs and arms, she uncuffed him, he was breathing heavily, still groaning in pain.

"I wonder if these will heal." She said, "Consider this a taste of the pain you caused, a lesson to carry with you. It feels so disgusting and gross right? When a disgusting creature is touching you and biting you like it will eat your skin? The same I felt."

He held her by her neck and pinned her to the wall. "Are you comparing me with rats?"

"No, you are worse." She said and he held her more firmly.

"That's right, I am but you still love me." He said, pulling her to him, giving her a ick seeing his open wounds.

She smirked, "Love? We both don't know its meaning."

"Which makes it perfect don't you think?" He asked.

She shook her head, " This reminder that actions have consequences even for those who wear crowns."

She used her hair accessory to poke the wound on his shoulder, making him groan and fall on his knees. He let out a chuckle. "You can't get rid of me."

"I can." She said,

"Even if you got rid of me physically, you will never gonna get rid of me mentally. I will alway live in your head." He exclaimed.

"Why do you look sad?" Taehyung asked, he softly caressed her hair. "I want you to be happy Y/n,"

His eyes noticed her neck. "Your neck, what is this huh? Was it appa? How dare he hurt you again?"

Y/n shook her head. "It's fine, I am dealing with him." she replied.

"I heard that from you, but still why are you sad if he is suffering?" He asked.

"I am not sad Because of him, it's just me. I don't think I can be happy ever in my life with the weight I hold." she said.

Taehyung caressed her arm, "I will do everything for us. I want you to be happy, I love you."

"He is right, he said I can't get rid of him, and I can't. I really can't."

"I am here,"

"I want to get rid of the things you have done too. " She said.

Y/n hesitated before asking Taehyung, "Is there any way to erase the pain and memories that haunt me? I long for a fresh start, free from the weight of my past."

"Fresh start with whom?" He asked.

"With us Taehyung, with you." She exclaimed.

"You want to be with this?"

"Why do you seem so confused when I have made it clear multiple times?" She asked, and held Taehyung's hand.

Taehyung considered her request. "Y/n," he said, "I will talk to Noona, I am sure she has some magic. It might be risky."

Y/n nodded, determined to leave her burdens behind. "I'm willing to take the risk. If it means a new beginning with you, Taehyung, I'm ready."

His eyes spark, "I will take all the risk for you Y/n, you don't need to worry."

"Noona," Taehyung began, his voice carrying the echo of desperation, "I need your help. "

"Not again Taehyung, you didn't even talk to me before doing black magic."

"It was my mistake, but I just need one last help. Y/n is burdened by pain and trauma, and I can't bear to see her suffer any longer. Is there a way you can erase it all?"

Irene, her eyes wise and knowing, studied his face, "Taehyung, you've already sacrificed so much for her. Sometimes the greatest magic is accepting the scars and finding strength in them."

Determined, Taehyung shook his head. "I can't stand idly by while Y/n suffers. I need to do something, one last sacrifice if that's what it takes. In some ways I caused her pain too, I want to change everything, change her fate, change the way her life was. And I just want to love her."

Irene sighed, realizing the depth of her brother's love. "There is a way, Taehyung, but it's not a decision to be made lightly. To free Y/n from her pain, you must give up all your lives. No more rebirth as a human."

Taehyung's gaze held unwavering determination. "If that's what it takes to ensure Y/n's happiness in this life, I'm willing to make that sacrifice. I want to live this one life fully, with her by my side, unburdened by the past. Just want to love her."

Irene nodded. " But remember, this choice is irreversible. Once you surrender the cycle of rebirth, there's no turning back."

Taehyung, despite the gravity of the decision, smiled. "I've made my choice, Noona. For Y/n, for us, I'll embrace this one life and cherish every moment. She will forgive me."

___

Taehyung was happy, thinking he has fulfilled every desire that Y/n has expressed, now he can be with her, live with her.

But he was still unaware of her intoxicating her for days now, the flowers that were in his room carried the fragrance of a deadly venom.

He was ignoring the uneasiness he was feeling at night, but it seems to get worse, Panic set in as he clutched his chest, the poisonous air seeping into his lungs.

Weakness crept through Taehyung's limbs, and he staggered, realizing too late the insidious trap woven within the petals.

Only one person came to his head and he went to her, Irene. "Noona,"

He was coughing. She looked at him a little surprised.

She looked at his eyes and face, and then the glass globe lightened, showing the cause of it, the flowers. "She trapped you."

"Why? I did everything for her? It wasn't her," He coughed more. "I-i know it wasn't her."

"You think she cared for you? Tae? I should have stopped you too, she planned it. She removed the memory, but not for you, for Jungkook."

Taehyung's vision blurred, his thoughts echoing with the bitter irony of betrayal.

He gives up all his life just to share one with Y/n, and she chooses to betray him like this.
