Part 2: chapter 37

Busan, South Korea

His head was throbbing when he regained his senses. His eyes were met by the strong light of the sun which was peeking into the ward through the small gap in white curtains. He shadowed his eyes with his hand, so they wouldn't sting before they could get used to the luminosity. Then he shuffled in the bed and slowly sat up with small whimpers as the pain in his head grew more. He could feel a weird sensation even in his chest as if it was starting to ache.

After coming across the view of the hospital ward, Taehyun remembered what happened and why he was there, but he didn't remember when he fell asleep though.

He flopped back on the bed with a loud loud thud, releasing a groan as he shut his eyes and lifted up his hand to rub his forehead.

"You don't look good"

Taehyun gasped at the sudden voice, his eyes opening widely as he sat up again and was met by the sight of the blonde young man sitting in the right corner of the ward, beside the window.

Sungjin.

"I would think you came here to throw questions at me about my hospital again, but I heard that you left your job. Why would you do that, Taehyun?"

The boy was so tired, he was even having difficulty feeling angry at him, however, his body still had enough energy to feel chills of fear when Sungjin stood up from his seat while using his infusion bottle stand as support and marched towards his bed with steady steps, wearing a smug expression on his face.

His hands shook as the male hovered over him. Taehyun tried to crawl back, but instead, he fell flat on the bed with his back when Sungjin leaned down to trap him by placing his hands by the sides of his head, his intimidating stare making Taehyun crawl in his skin.

"You still have guts to come here even though you're deadly afraid of me", Sungjin smirked down at him, enjoying the fear which was radiating through Taehyun's body, "You smell like death, you know that?", he scrunched up his nose in disgust, grabbing Taehyun's arm to raise it in front of his face, "Do you see how dark your skin has gotten?"

"Beomgyu was right about you, wasn't he?", Taehyun asked in a shaky tone, which was filled with hatred, ignoring all of Sungjin's words which made Sungjin chuckle in irony, straightening his body, "H-he wasn't insane. He wasn't lying to me"

Sungjin wrapped his fingers around the glowing silver iron of his infusion bottle stand, letting out a sigh through his mouth, "Where did you get that idea from?"

"Because I always knew you were evil"

"Then why didn't you believe him when he was begging you to trust him, huh?", Sungjin asked, wanting to make everything clear since making a mistake wasn't the best thing he could do in that situation.

Taehyun avoided his eyes as they got filled with fake tears, but maybe they weren't fake. Maybe whatever he was going to say was right, but still full of evil intentions against the monster which was willing to prey on him.

"B-because I was angry", he said in a tearful tone, tears making their way down his pale cheeks, "I was angry because he was saying weird things to me and I thought that he was lying. I was hurt because I thought he wanted to fool me again", his voice cracked, making satisfaction rise in Sungjin who was listening attentively to him, "But I was tired. I was tired of lies from him"

Taehyun rolled on his side, curling up into a small ball, so he could hug himself and cry softly, "B-but after I watched him die in front of me, I started feeling guilty, because what if he was right? What if he was innocent? But I didn't support him. I didn't help him and guilt is killing me"
