"I heard you were looking for my brother."

"Where the hell have you been?" I scoffed as I turned to sit at the stool by the island, wiping my tears onto my arm. Tae hung his head and looked at his hands fumbling them together. "Can we just worry about one problem at a time Athena? I heard you were searching for him, weren't you?" Tae asked as he looked up through his long lashes at me, eyes swirling a deep crimson red and I wondered if he was truly holding back his usual smirk towards me.

I didn't trust this fucker for a second.

"Yes, I am. I called him but he sent me to voicemail. I need to know if he's okay, is he?"

He bit his cheek and I could tell he was holding his tongue, he looked over his shoulder at Clara as she walked to sit beside me at the table. I could feel her rage radiating off of her towards the both of us. "Tae? Cut the shit. Answer her." Clara bit.

He sighed and went to sit on the edge of the couch, "What's it to you? Didn't you tell him to fuck off anyways? Isn't that the trend for you Princess? Also, love the glasses." He said as the smirk finally appeared, heating my chest up as I glared him up and down.

"Vera gave me an ultimatum, and told me if I didn't do what she asked, that-" I paused as my stomach ached, remembering him lifeless and floating. "That she'd kill him."

"Why did she give you an ultimatum Athena? Were you getting into trouble again?"

I shot up from my seat and watched as he did the same. My hands clenched in tight fists to my side as rumbled growls filled the room. "Why are you really here Tae? It's not like you cared to save Clara when she actually needed the help right?" I spit as I motioned to Clara. "Here to save the day again? Because you were already so good at that."

He rolled his eyes and scoffed, "I'm actually here because I've been sent to check on you. Both of you I guess." He said as he looked gently over to Clara as she looked away from him. I watched her shake her head and bite her lip to stop herself from crying.

"By who?" I asked as I walked back to my seat, taking my sunglasses off and shaking my leg as I crossed them. "And you better start talking."

"By Namjoon, he sent me to make sure you were okay. He said that he hadn't checked on you in awhile, I didn't know that you'd be here too Clara, I'm sorry to just show up like this."

"So you weren't sent to check on me then idiot." Clara hissed as she glared her silver eyes on him now. He turned away and shook his head, "I was going to after this, I owe you for so much baby. I don't even know where to start."

"Jesus Christ." I muttered under my breath.

"Taehyung, are you going to tell me about Jimin or am I going to have to throw your pathetic ass out? You're lucky I don't know magick yet to force it out of you. I'd love to rip out your fucking tongue when I'm done with it."
