[Must-read introduction] BTS short story

#9: TXT - The Night the World Burned, Us / Taehyung

여자

Heh... Heh heh heh...

여자

Taehyung...sob...our son...

김태형

...

It was filled with sobbing sounds

No one could laugh here, only sad tears filled the space.

사여주

...

But you were the only one among them who didn't cry

김태형

But it's my funeral.

김태형

Why don't you at least pretend to be a little sad?

김태형

Hey, heroine--!!

사여주

Is Taehyung here?

김태형

Yeah, yeah! It's out!

사여주

What do you want to drink?

김태형

I want to eat the same thing that the female protagonist eats!

사여주

Really? Then I'll have espresso.

김태형

(Suddenly) You want to drink that concentrated herbal medicine?

사여주

It's a concentrated herbal medicine... If you don't like the deep flavor of espresso, don't drink it.

김태형

Ugh... well... I still want to eat it! I can eat some concentrated herbal medicine for the heroine!

남자

Wow~! Sa Yeo-ju is really amazing~ To be able to handle Kim Tae-hyung in that world

사여주

Shut up and let's go

남자

Hey, heroine, it's been a while since I caught a big fish, so wouldn't it be okay if I came back for a bit?

사여주

What's so great about that? Then you get hit by the boss.

남자

Hey~ Even so, we've achieved so much, so how could it possibly be that great?

김태형

Maybe it was all an act...

I still hoped it was at least a little sincere

아버지

So...you're seeing someone?

김태형

yes

아버지

It's better to break up as soon as possible

김태형

Sigh... Dad always says that

아버지

Taehyung, you are the only son of the V organization boss.

아버지

If another organization finds out that you have someone important to you, not only you but that person could be in danger.

김태형

Hey! Dad, at least I can protect the person I love, right?

아버지

Well...

김태형

(Sigh) Well... am I not attractive?

보스

My lady!

사여주

Why are you so happy? It's creepy.

남자

Hey boss, what's the goosebumps? Goosebumps

보스

Oh my! Our heroine did such an amazing job. I might get goosebumps and stuff, but that's not the case.

The heroine picked up the dagger on the desk and turned it around.

사여주

Okay, so where next?

보스

Okay? Shall we start right away?

사여주

I feel better if I finish it quickly.

보스

Next up is...Kim Namjoon from the RM organization.

사여주

I'll start tomorrow

김태형

To you, I was just one person on a list...

Without even a little sincerity

I guess you were just "acting" for the sake of performance.

Taehyung felt a pang in his chest.

김태형

Already dead...what a shame

사여주

Can I sleep here for a bit?

보스

Of course!

The heroine closed her eyes, leaning against the sofa.

Swish -

And Taehyung crouched down next to the sofa where Yeoju was lying.

김태형

Yeojuya

김태형

I'm going to take revenge from now on

김태형

So don't be too resentful

김태형

Wow~! I can't believe I'm getting married soon.

사여주

Yeah, I can't really believe it either.

김태형

Ah, I'm so happy that I can really marry the female lead...

사여주

(snickers) I like it too

김태형

Let's live happily ever after like this

사여주

huh

Knock knock knock

김태형

Namjoon hyung

Knock-knock....

김남준

taehyoung kim?

김태형

Long time no see

김남준

Are you...dead?

김태형

Looking at it, you can tell that he is indeed a shaman's son.

김남준

No, but more than that, you...

김태형

I'll explain the details slowly.

김태형

Please help me first

김남준

Okay, I'll help you. I'll listen to everything.

김남준

Explain what's going on first.

김태형

That's how it happened

김남준

So... that woman named Sa Yeo-ju will come to me tomorrow?

김태형

huh

김남준

So what do you want?

김남준

Are you going to kill me? Or do you just want me to live in pain?

김태형

Kill me

김태형

I don't want to see our heroine writhing in pain.

김태형

I just...want to love you a lot

김남준

...

김태형

Wow~! Did the female protagonist make all of this?

사여주

(Smile) Yeah, that's right

김태형

A dish made by the female protagonist...! It must be so delicious!

Yeoju cut a piece of steak with a fork.

사여주

Ah~ Try it

김태형

Ah~

김태형

Wow! This is absolutely delicious!

사여주

Really? I'm glad it suits your taste.

Taehyung was busy praising the female protagonist while eating the food she prepared for him.

김태형

Wow, this is really amazing! How is our heroine so good at cooking? She's absolutely perfect!

사여주

(snickers) Thanks for saying that haha

It was as if I was possessed by something.

No, it was like magic

That day, you looked especially pretty, you were so lovely, and everything was a perfectly happy day.

김태형

Yeoju, really the best... haaaaaam... ah... why am I so sleepy...?

사여주

Now I see you're a bad guy

And I still can't forget the look on your face when you said that

김태형

Huh...? What do you mean...?

A cold expression I haven't seen in months

사여주

Taehyung, I'm sorry, but you have to die for me.

김태형

Heroine...? What is that...?

Even as I continued to speak, my vision became increasingly blurred and I felt like I had no strength left in my body.

사여주

Taehyung

사여주

love you

Phew---!!!!

So I died at the hands of the person I loved the most.

If only all of this were just a painful dream

I just wish I could go back to the time when I was smiling next to you

I wish everything had stopped at that time

But that wish did not come true.

김태형

But it's my funeral.

김태형

Why don't you at least pretend to be a little sad?

사여주

hello?

김남준

Who are you?

사여주

(Smile) I'll buy it for you.

김남준

It's my first time hearing that name.

사여주

Yes, this is my first time attending this party.

Namjoon kept glancing at the person next to him.

사여주

What's... there next to you?

김태형

...

And there was Taehyung with a stern expression.

김남준

No, it's nothing

사여주

(Smiles) Should we move our location?

사여주

I think it's better for conversations to be between just the two of us.

김태형

(snickers)

김태형

Last time you were a pure girl... but this time the concept is provocation.

Namjoon closed his eyes for a moment.

[ Kim Taehyung, come in ]

It was accompanied by a humming noise, but it was definitely Namjoon's voice.

김남준

...

사여주

Namjoon...?

김남준

Yes, ma'am

사여주

Ah... I just closed my eyes and wondered if it hurt somewhere...

김남준

(Snickers) No, it's okay.

사여주

(shock)

Something felt familiar

That peculiar, bitter smile of that person who looks exactly like someone who gives goosebumps all over your body

김남준

Mrs. Yeoju

사여주

yes...?

Namjoon gradually approached Yeoju, and Yeoju instinctively took steps back.

김남준

There is someone who really resents Yeoju.

Tak -

And when the heroine had nowhere else to retreat, Namjoon slammed his hand against the wall next to her face.

김남준

Of all the people killed by Yeoju, he was probably the one who loved Yeoju the most.

사여주

Th...those...uh...what should I do...

The girl's eyes began to shake more and more.

김남준

Yeojuya

김남준

it's me

김남준

Why? Don't you know?

사여주

You...you...no way...

That's definitely not possible

Kim Taehyung definitely died at that time

But the only person who knows that tone and that story is Kim Taehyung

김남준

It's me, Kim Taehyung

보스

When on earth is this girl coming? It's already been a day.

남자

Really? There's nothing I haven't uploaded by this time...

보스

What the heck, wait a minute, what's going on?
