Madhouse
chapter 1
author
welcome guys to my first book
well some things for the story
this whole story is in taehyung's pov
when the pov will change to other character I'll mention it
The sun shines brightly through the windows, warming my skin. I watch as the birds fly through the beautiful blue sky, and I can't help but wish I was as free as those birds. I sigh, resting my chin on my hand as I get lost looking outside the window.
taehyung
At the mention of my name, I look back in front of me, realizing that the teacher is standing right in front of my desk, with his arms crossed over his chest.
teacher
"Do you think birds are more interesting than my class?"
Yes, but don't want any problems, so apologize
taehyung
"I'm sorry, it wasn't my intention to be disrespectful in any way."
teacher
he nods, still not looking very happy, but turns around and walks back to his desk.
You might think this place is a normal college, but this place is far from normal.
This college is a psychiatric that has, in its majority, young patients that suffer from some type of psychological disorder. We live here until we are well enough to leave and live our normal lives again.
The three levels of this building are categorized by levels of disorder, starting from light, medium and severe disorders.
The first level patients, like me, can attend a few normal classes to prevent us from falling behind academically and to make us think that we are normal.
But the truth is, everyone here is a little mad. Everyone has their own madness, the one they have to live with and learn how to control. So instead of a psychiatric, I like to call this place... a madhouse.
I didn't even know a place like this existed until my grandparents proposed me to come here last month.
Because my parents are no longer here. They were violently murdered two months ago. Just thinking about it causes me nausea.
I was there when everything happened, but I can't remember clearly that horrible night, everything is so blurry and confusing in my mind.
I just remember screams, blood, and the hideous sight of my parents lying dead in our living room. After that, I woke up at the police station.
The murderer killed everyone except me. The police told me the murderer was a serial killer who had already killed four families before mine, and that they were trying so hard to find him. They said I was very lucky to be the only one who survived, but I don't feel fortunate at all.
After that, my grandparents decided to send me here. I think they weren't ready to deal with an 18 year old diagnosed with a traumatic stress disorder, depression with panic attacks, and with suicidal tendencies.
They feared for my life, and I was sure I reminded them constantly of my parents, I understood their pain.

Episode 2
taehyung
A soft voice whispers behind me and I turn around slightly. It's Chang-ha, the only friend I made until now.
No one can pronounce my name correctly here, their English accent is very strong when they pronounce my Korean name, but I find it cute.
chang-ha
"I need your help with Korean, I have a test tomorrow."
taehyung
"How did you know I'm fluent in Korean?"
Korean is my first language as I grew up in a small city in the US. My family and I lived there until my father made some enemies at work. He was a lawyer, who sent some criminals to prison that probably searched for revenge.
So he decided it was better to move back to South Korea, where we are originally from. We bought a beautiful house in the mountains, but only 6 months later, that monstrous killer ended their lives.
chang-ha
"Well, you have an English Korean Name and you have a little accent when speaking"
taehyung
"That's true, okay, I'll see what I can do to help you. I'll see you after class."
I fake a smile, I completely forgot how to truly smile again.
When the class finishes, the teacher calls me to his desk, so I walk up to him.
taehyung
"Is something wrong?"
teacher
"I've been informed that you didn't attend your appointment with the psychologist yesterday and that you also didn't attend the group therapy."
taehyung
"With all my respect, I really don't think I need that."
teacher
"I'm afraid that decision is not yours. You've been through a lot, and we need to make sure you're getting over that horrible event. If you keep missing the appointments, you'll be transferred to the second floor. Do you want that?"
taehyung
"Okay, I will attend the next session."
It's not worth arguing. I won't be here for the next session anyway.
teacher
"Good, you can leave now."
I leave the classroom and walk along the long corridor full of boys. This part of the building is only for boys, as boys and girls live separately.
taehyung
I walk to the dorms corridor and enter my room, closing the door behind me, and walking up to the mirror.
taehyung
I stare at myself, my eyes staring back at me with such sadness that I wonder where the happy boy once was has gone.
taehyung
The day has arrived. I sit down on my bed, I just need to wait for the night to come.
After a few hours, the sky turns dark. I look at the clock beside by bed marking 7:10pm. I open the door and look at both sides of the corridor before stepping out.
I walk up the stairs until I get out to the rooftop, the cold wind making my hair fly back.
taehyung
I press my jacket against my body as I step closer to the edge.
episode 3
The forest around the building is a bit scary, and the city lights are very far away.
I take a deep breath, filling my lungs, and then I exhale slowly.
In a cold winter night, I decide to end with my life.
Life has no sense for me anymore, I have no reason to keep living. I know I'm a coward, but I can't go on, I made my decision the first day I woke up knowing that my family was murdered, and I couldn't do anything to save them.
During the time I've been here, I tried to find a new reason to live, but nothing has worked. I tried everything, medication, therapy, but nothing erased the fact that every time I close my eyes I see so much blood.
Oh, and the nightmares I have every night. Don't blame me for not wanting to keep living like this.
I try to stay calm, but my whole body shakes as I climb on the parapet, standing right at the edge of the building.
taehyung
I feel my eyes filling with tears.
taehyung
"I'm sorry mom, dad, I tried, I really tried."
I let out a shaky breath as tears start falling down my cheeks. I just need to let myself fall, and everything will end.
taehyung
I stop breathing when I hear a voice next to me.
？？？
What are you waiting for?
taehyung
I turn my head towards the person, my eyes wide open.
There's a boy leaning his back against the railing, wearing a hoodie that doesn't allow me to see his face.
His voice sounds cold, calculated. His face is completely dark hidden behind his hoodie.
？？？
"Jump, I won't stop you"
taehyung
"I don't want to be stopped."
taehyung
I say, looking back in front of me.
？？？
"Then why are you still here? Hurry up and jump."
taehyung
"Could you leave?"
taehyung
I ask him, angirly
taehyung
"I'd like to have some privacy on the day of my death."
I hear him chuckle slightly and I move my eyes back to him, but he still doesn't move.
？？？
"Imagine I'm not here."
Oh god, this boy is annoying. I hear him laugh under his breath again.
？？？
"You want me to give you a push?"
taehyung
"No, I want you to leave."
He turns his head in my direction, and for a second, I manage to see a pair of fascinating dark eyes staring right back at me and a small smile on his lips.
Is he mocking me? This boy is going to hear me out!
I carefully crouch down and step off the parapet, stepping onto the safe rooftop floor, but when I turn towards him, he's gone.
I look around trying to find him, but he's nowhere to be seen. How did he disappear so fast?
Oh no. I turn around to find the night guard looking at me in disapproval.
guard
"Move back from the edge, now!"
taehyung
"Oh, I was just-"
guard
"You can't be here, it's absolutely prohibited, especially for you."
taehyung
"Oh, I had no idea. I'm sorry, I just needed some fresh air."
guard
"Go back to your room, now."
taehyung
I nodded and walked back to my room
I was lucky the guard was in a good mood, otherwise he could've reported me to the principal, and I'd be in huge trouble. I don't want to be transferred
to the second floor
taehyung
As I enter back into my room, I remember the boy on the rooftop.
taehyung
"He didn't even try to stop me, he incited me to jump!"
taehyung
"My plan failed". I let out a frustrated sigh as I drop myself on the bed.
Those dark eyes come back to my mind, and a mixture of rage and curiosity invade me.
