Part 20

•|Taehyung_POV|•

Haa~ Haa~ Haaa~

"Can't breathe, s-someone.. come s-save me.. M-my lungs a-are burning, aghhh!! Can't b-breathe..."

What is happening? Everything was fine just a moment ago... But now?

*whistle~*

'Huh?... No... Stop the whistling...'

*whistle~*

"I SAID STOP!! STOP WHISTLING!!"

I close my ears with my hands as tight as I could but it isn't helping.... The whistle only intensifies & echoes in my ears, more louder than before...

"SOMEBODY H-HELP ME..P-PLEASE!!." I couldn't help but scream.

*sob.... sob...*

I can feel my sweaty hands & fast heartbeat as I cry for help. But like each & every time, no one comes to rescue me. Tears blurry my vision & it becomes harder & harder to look at what lies in this darkness for me.

I step forward with my trembling feet, slowly tracing my path, as I keep my hands on the side wall for support. The door must be right in front of me. If only my legs wouldn't betray me & tremble so badly, I would have made a run for it. And this darkness isn't helping me at all.

*sniff... sob...*

"I-I don't like the d-darkness... I w-want light." I whisper lowly, tasting the saltiness of my own tears on my lips. It's like this everytime. My eyes won't listen to me, they keep flowing, keep producing these salty tears which I hate so much.

"I HATE SALT!!... I WANT SWEETS!!" I shout in the darkness. "S-someone please g-get me something s-sweet."

'It's useless to shout sweety~'

My eyes widen as more tears fall out of them. It's that voice... It's him!!.

'If you want I can shout for you orr maybe we can shout together. Double impact, right? Hahahah.'

I must run. I don't care if my legs won't cooperate with me. But I must run. I don't care if I'm out of breadth. But i must run.

So i gulp harshly & with all the strength that I have i run as fast as I could. I can see it, I can see the door. Just a few steps more, I remind myself constantly. Finally reaching at the door, I bang my fists on it.

"IS SOMEONE THERE... PLEASE LET ME OUT OF HERE... HELP ME!! SAVE ME PLEASE... I BEG YOU.. OPEN THE DOOR."

'As I said before sweety, no one will come here for you. I know it must be quite boring for you to stay here all alone but guess what! I just made this new & awesome tune... Wanna here it? I'll whistle it for you.'

*whistle~*

"NO NOT THE WHISTLE!! STOP WHISTLING... PLEASE STOP!!."

I move away from the door trembling badly. It's of no use at all. Just as he said, no one will come here. No one can save me. No one will help me. No one will rescue me.

I slide down the wall crouching down in the corner, with my eyes shut tight. I hold my trembling knees & pull them closer to my chest. My screaming, shouting & crying are of no use as always.

I can feel my head starting to get lighter & lighter, a sign that I'm about to faint any minute now. So with the last of my remaining strength I scream as loud as I could before I surrender to the darkness.

"IF ANYMORE CAN HEAR ME... I BEG OF YOU, PLEASE... SAVE ME."

************

Everything went smoothly. The pooja, the feast, everything. Jungkook was delighted. Now the only thing left was for his mother to visit the temple once more to witness the grand wedding of Lord Shiva & Maa Gauri.

Everyone was ready to set out but Jungkook saw that Yeobin was waiting for someone.

"Maa aren't you ready yet. The car is about to leave. Mama & Mami are already settled in. Whom are you looking for?"

"Bunny! Good timing. I'm waiting for Taehyung."

"Dram- I mean Taehyung, why wait for him?"

"Actually I sent him to the storeroom on the upper floor to get me something but he didn't return yet. And because I was in the midst of something that time, I even forgot to warn him that the door is broken & he mustn't close the door or it will not open. "

"Oho How careless of you Maa. When did you send him there?"

"Umm.. Thirty minutes ago."

"Ok don't worry. I'll go see if he's still there. Maybe he came down with the thing but didn't find you."

"Hmm I'll come too."

"No need, you go & wait in the car, I'll go & bring him."

Yeobin nod & heads towards the door. The house is almost empty because everyone left one by one and Jungkook doubted if Taehyung was in the house. Maybe he left too. Speaking of Taehyung, the last time he met him was when they were consoling that little kid. After that Jungkook didn't see him anywhere.

But to make sure he climb up the stairs towards the store room. From a distance he can see that the door is closed. He went near the door & knocked on it.

"Taehyung are you inside?"

Silence....

"Taehyung if you are inside, answer me."

Again silence....

"Maybe he really left first." He mumbled to himself then turn around to leave but his foot fell on something.

"Ouch. What is this?"

Picking up the thing in his hand, he realised that he has seen this object recently before.

"It's dramatic sh*t's bracelet. He lost it again? Hmm he said that it's a bit loose, so this must have fallen here when he came here." He kept the bracelet in his pocket & said to himself. "He's so careless. On one hand he says it's so precious to him but on the other hand he loses it here & there. Good thing I found it. I'll return it to him when I see him again."

He was stepping away from the door but for some reason his heart felt uneasy. As if it is telling him to stop, that he is leaving something important behind. And that's when he heard it.

Someone's scream.

It came from the store room door.

"What was that?"

He ran back to the door & placed his ear on the door & this time he could hear it loud & clear.

.

.

"IF ANYMORE CAN HEAR ME... I BEG OF YOU, PLEASE...SAVE ME."

"Taehyung is that you? TAEHYUNG!?"

He tried to push the door open but if was stuck badly.

"Shit it's jammed. Taehyung don't worry I'll open the door. Make sure you are away from the door because I'm about to push it. Alright?" When he got no response he used his shoulder to hit the door with full force.

Thud.

Thud.

Thud.

After some attempts the door finally jolted open with a loud bang against the wall. He looked around but it was too dark inside to recognize anything clearly. He tried to switch on the lights but it seemed that they were fuse too.

"What the hell is this room? Nothing works here & everything is broken... Maa should close it forever. But for now I must find Taehyung." Jungkook's one hand was placed on his forehead, rubbing it a little. He became really worried after he heard that scream. The only thing he wants to do now is locate Taehyung as soon as possible.

He closed his eyes & took a deep breath while concentrating on his hearing. And he was right he can hear sniffling noises coming from a particular corner of the room. He just hopes it's the person he is here for. Because of the darkness, he takes out his phone & uses it as a flash light.

Moving forward he never imagined to see something so heartbreaking. There in the corner was Taehyung. His eyes closed & body shivering as if he is cold. As the flash hits his face Jungkook feels his heart getting heavy with the sight of Taehyung's face looking so pale with tears flowing down his fair cheeks.

He runs towards Taehyung & takes his face in his hands, cupping his cheeks gently. "Taehyung! Open your eyes.. Hey!" He calls but gets no response. He gets even more worried than before, so he lightly slaps his cheeks to try & wake him up. "Hey dramatic sh*t open your eyes, come on."

Soon Taehyung opens his eyes slightly & immediately hugs Jungkook with all his strength. Squeezing him tightly. And crying. He buries his face in Jungkook's chest & Jungkook can hear some muffled words coming out his mouth.

"I won't say anything. I won't say anything to anybody..... S-so please please get me out of here. I won't say anything.. I won't.. I won't." Taehyung was repeating the same words again & again while crying non stop. Jungkook gets scared as he notices that Taehyung isn't breathing normally. So he rubs his back, trying to calm him down.

"Hey, hey, shush... You'll be ok. I'm here. Try to breathe. Taehyung are you listening to me.. I said breathe." He was trying but it seems that Taehyung was in a daze & suddenly started to hyperventilate.

"Haaa haaa can't b-breathe. S-save me... Someone sav-e m-me. I promise to k-keep quite.... Just let m-me out.. Out of here."

"Taehyung, taehyung, hey don't close your eyes. Breathe. You must breathe Taehyung."

"H-Hoseok H-Hyung... Help me."

"Hobi hyung?"

Hearing Hobi's name Jungkook became confused but he had no time to ponder on his thoughts as Taehyung lost his consciousness. But he kept his hold tight on Jungkook.

Seeing no option he quickly picked Taehyung in his arms in bridal style. He went towards the door & just then someone entered in front of him. Huffing & puffing as if they ran all the way here.
