Taehyung was paralyzed.

His body wasn't obeying him, frozen in his spot while he stared absolutely horrified at the scenario in front of him. Jungkook wore a snarl on his face, kicking Namjoon's lifeless body and mumbling something to himself before crouching down and grabbing the body under his armpits.

Taehyung's breath quickened when he watched how Jungkook pulled the corpse easily up, heaving it onto his back before he made his way towards the sea. He couldn't stay here, he had to run away from him. Jungkook was a murderer! He just snapped Namjoon's neck like it was nothing!

"Oh my god, he killed him", Taehyung whimpered out to himself, dazing of while his eyes were fixed on Jungkook's frame who moved towards the water. He now stood in the water up to his waist and dropped the corpse into the sea without hesitation. Taehyung wanted to run but he couldn't, he had to look closer, had to see what was going to happen next.

There were rumors, something approaching Jungkook's tall form in the water and then, shark fins slit through the surface, approaching the blonde who seemed unbothered by the sudden chaos surrounding him, the sharks feasting on the meal offered to them.

Taehyung felt bile rising in his throat by the sight, he was horrified and absolutely scared of Jungkook who didn't seem fazed at all by the blood thirsty monsters surrounding him, tinting the water a deep ruby red that was even visible through the moonlight. It wasn't a red in the dim light, it was a deep black, their fins slaughtering through the water just like Jungkook has slaughtered Namjoon.

And then, Taehyung could clearly hear the traumatizing two words the blonde now spoke, crystal clear vowels reaching his ears, cutting through the air like bullets and taking Taehyung's breath.

"Eat up."

This was the moment where Taehyung finally unfroze and turned around to run away from the horrible scenario like he was chased. Maybe he was, maybe Jungkook has seen him and would chase after him to kill him as well, to kill him for witnessing the death of Namjoon, for finding out about his secret.

Maybe these were the last seconds of Taehyung's life.

°°°

His lungs were almost bursting when he returned to the beach, the fire almost dying out and getting dimmed down, the sleeping figures of the group scattered around the ground, all of them still being in deep slumber. Taehyung gasped for air, panic tightening his chest because oh god, there was a murderer on this island, a murderer in their middle!

He had to warn the group, he had to tell them what Jungkook did. Taehyung was the only one to know about this, he had to warn them! If they would believe him... instead of Jungkook who was so good with words, so good in lying and if Taehyung would tell them...

Then Jungkook would know that Taehyung has seen him and nothing then would stand in between him and his own death. This thought made Taehyung's insides twist and he paced around in panic, tugging onto his black locks in despair, ruffling it beyond belief.

"No no no no, why why? J-Joon... Joonie", Taehyung cried out, hot tears rising in his throat and tightening his chest. His mouth fell opened when he released a silent scream, not daring to make any sound. Jungkook would come back soon too. He was going to hurt him if he saw that Taehyung was awake, he would know he saw him.

Anxiety took over Taehyung and incredibly fear twisted his face because he was so helpless. He couldn't pretend, he couldn't keep this to himself. If they would only believe him, they could... yeah what? Kill Jungkook? Then they'd be no better than him. But Namjoon, good pure Namjoon had to be revenged!

But if Taehyung would reveal the dark discovery, he was going to be next. Even if they pushed Jungkook away and banned him, he would find a way to get to Taehyung. He would come for him and he wouldn't stop until Taehyung was dead. So pretending was the only reasonable thing he could do now to protect his life.

Taehyung wanted to cry by this, he didn't- he couldn't- he just couldn't pretend everything was fine when Jungkook killed his friend so brutally and throw him into the shark bay as a gifted meal.

There were cracking sounds from branches and Taehyung spun around in terror, quickly dropping to the ground and crawling to the previous spot he has laid on, curling into himself and closing his eyes quickly just when Jungkook appeared back on the beach.

His face was void of any emotions, his body cleaned from any traces of blood and Taehyung peaked through his lashes to stare at Jungkook. He looked composed, not like someone who has just killed an innocent soul so brutally with bare hands.

Taehyung tightly closed his eyes when Jungkook's eyes landed on him. His breath hitched fearfully while he listened to the soft cracking of the fire. There were footsteps coming closer and Taehyung suppressed a whimper. Pretend to sleep, you're sleeping, don't open your eyes, don't let him know you're awake! Taehyung screamed in his mind when he felt a shadow landing over him.

He felt hot breath dancing over his cheek and he tried to keep his face relaxed and his breathing steady. Taehyung was twitching in the inside and would've screamed when he felt cool fingertips brushing gently over his cheek, playing a bit with his hair. There was a finger, a thumb maybe, pressed against his lips and he nearly threw up because these were the fingers that killed Namjoon! They were on his face!

"You're so beautiful... absolutely gorgeous", he heard Jungkook's husky voice, sultry and lustful which surprised Taehyung, the man having always spoken in a friendly tone but this voice... it sounded like a different person, deep and alluring, promising sins and the fulfill of his darkest desires.

"Soon, my beautiful Baby. Just a few more weeks and I have everyone where I want them to be. Soon, Beautiful. So don't come into my way because I don't want to destroy that cute attitude of yours or hurt your pretty face. Would be a shame so don't ruin my plans for me", he heard Jungkook whispering before lips feathery came across his own lips, brushing over the pillowy skin.

"Sleep, my beautiful Taehyung. You'll need it", Jungkook whispered once again before the shadow disappeared from Taehyung and he listened to the distancing steps before allowing himself to exhale the breath he has been holding.

This was not what he has expected.
