" Come on Park jimin you can do this..."

He chanted to himself as he stood outside his blind dates door. It was the first time in...actually how long had it been since he had went out on a proper date with someone? It had been so long he couldn't remember.

Even so, jimin wondered how he so easily ended up on a blind date in the first place. He was the last person to go about dating in such a high risk and frivolous fashion an- oh right, that's because it was hoseoks idea.

Heosok would never shut up around jimin, and kept pestering him about "getting himself back out there!" and " putting that sweet ass back on the market!"...yeah heosok had a weird thing about pointing out his "above average" behind to him whenever he had the chance. Jimin didn't really mind and just decided to ignore the boy whenever he brought it up.

"okay..."

Jimin said to himself slowly bringing up a tightly clenched fist to knock on the door of his surprise dates house.

*Knock knock kn-*

And before he could finish his last knock the door had flewn open to reveal a rather tall man Standing in the doorway. "Odd" he thought to himself.

"Park jimin?"

The tall and rather handsome man asked with a Delighted look on his face

"Uh yes. Are you Kim taehyung?" Jimin asked

" You can just call me tae" he said with a charming box smile

" Please come in!"

And without a second thought jimin was ushered into the man's house, a firm hand on his lower back guiding him through the doorway towards the living room had caught him off guard as well.

Jimin glanced around at the inside of the large estate as he walked through the hallways. The inside of the house was very homely and modern looking with stainless furnishings and interesting art pieces framed on the walls.

When they reached the living room taehyung gestured jimin towards the leather couch and said "go ahead and make yourself comfortable while I get some refreshments". Jimin sat down on the couch and watched tae disappear into another room in which he assumed was the kitchen.

He held the bottom of his black long sleeve turtleneck tightly in his small fists because he had begun to feel nervous again. He was contemplating whether Apologizing for wasting the nice man's time and making a break for the front door was still a plausible option when tae came back into the living room with a bottle of wine and too glasses in hand.

" I hope red wine is alright with you? Your friend told me you liked it."

Damn you hoseok.

" Of course! " Jimin choked out in a way that it was obvious to tell he was nervous

Taehyung caught on and a gentle smile grew on his face. As he finished pouring their glasses of wine he took a seat next to jimin on the couch.
If jimin wasn't nervous before he sure as HELL was now. He shyed away from tae and looked the other way in panic.

"hehe"

A small chuckle had escaped from takes lips which surprised jimin and he turned his head to look at him. Jimin furrowed his brows in confusion and was curious as to why tae was laugphing.

"What's so funny?" Jimin asked with a cute pout on his face

"Nothing. Your just really cute when your shy" tae cooly stated while eying jimin and taking a sip of his wine.

"oh.."

Jimin was now blushing a pinkish hue that matched the shade of his bubblegum hair and a faint smile showed on his face.

After that jimin relaxed a little and actually was able to enjoy the date as it went on. A casual conversation interrupted by brief sips of wine and the occasional laugh here and there. Eventually jimin had forgotten all of his worries and genuinely enjoyed takes company and the atmosphere between them two.

As the night progressed jimin became more aware of his fatigue and finally decided it was time to head home.

" Hahaha I can't believe it's already this late! I was having so much fun I lost track of time" jimin laughed and said to tae.

"I know! It must be a sign" tae said

"A sign of what?" jimin asked, genuinely curious.

"That we're meant to be together."

Jimin was surprised at how forward tae was with his statement. He'd be lying if he said it didn't catch him off guard.

" Oh well... It's getting late I think I've had all the fun I can for one night" he said as he set his empty wine glass on the table in front of them, getting ready to leave. "Thank you for having me I had a great time." Jimin said as he stood up to make his way to the door.

The whole time jimin was saying this, taehyung wore a strange look on his face. It looked almost as if he was, confused. His eyebrows were furrowed and he wore a frown that deeply unnerved jimin as he stood up to go.

Tae then stood up as well and walked towards jimin so they were only a few inches apart from each other. As tae hovered over him, wine glass still in hand, his demeanor made a total 180 as he gave jimin a sly smile and said

"I'm sorry jimin... But I can't let you leave"

Jimin looks at taehyung in confusion and quickly sensed the tension between them.
panic now welling up inside him, jimin bolted towards the front door. Only to find to his dismay when trying to pry it open that.... It was locked, tight. He whipped himself around to find tae walking towards him.

" the night is still young and I have so much fun planned for us, honey "

Tae said as he slowly walked towards jimin who had his back pinned against the door with his hands frantically waving out in front of him gesturing for taehyung to keep his distance.

"STAY AWAY FROM ME!" Jimin yelled at taehyung who was still slowly making his way towards him with one hand in his pocket, and the other swirling the wine in his glass almost teasingly.

"I MEAN IT!!! STAY AWay...."

Jimins vision began going hazy as he stumbled over his own feet to keep balanced. His legs shaking and ready to give at any second failed him as he slumped down on the floor, trying to stay concious.

The wine, he thought, it must have been laced. God DAMN IT HOSEOK

" I can't wait until we can start playing together honey~"
Tae cooed into jimins ear before he slipped into his dark unconciousness.

"mm.."

When he began to wake up, jimin groaned and felt groggy and lightheaded. When he motioned to try and cover his eyes from bright flourescent light hanging above him in the center of the room, he quickly realized...he couldn't move his arms.

Eyes now wide in horror, jimin shot up in an effort to sit up straight only to be harshly yanked back down onto the bed he was lying on. Frantic now, jimin looked towards his hands to see thick black ropes tied tightly around each wrist that were then secured taughtly to each bed post. Same for both his ankles as well.

When jimin realized his situation, panic began to sink in and he started thrashing around trying to hopefully loosen or break his tight bonds but with little to no success.

He remembered taehyungs taunting boxy smile being the last thing he saw before he had passed out on the floor, which only added to his panic frenzy.

"MMFfmmFfMM!!"

When he tried to scream for help he could only make quiet muffled noises. Some type of thick cloth had been balled up and shoved in his mouth along with a thick piece of duck tape sealing his lips so that he couldn't easily spit it out.

"MMMFFFF!!!"

Even though he knew it was somewhat pointless to keep screaming and waste what little energy he had left, he couldn't give up out of fear of what might happen to him if he did. He shivered at the thought of what tae might have in store for him if he didn't escape soon.

Jimin looked around at the barren concrete walls in the small room he was in, searching for any sign of an exit route. Sadly,the only way out of the room he could see was a large metal door directly in front of his bed that had too many locks for him to count. There were no windows and only a small side drawer, a wooden chair and mini fridge in the far corner of the room.

Jimin was getting more nervous with every passing minute and he was getting nowhere with thrashing around at his restraints.

*Step step step*

Jimins body froze
He could hear Loud steps approaching his room until they stopped just right outside his door.

As the door opened, a tall young man walked into the room carrying a brown paper bag and two bottles of water in his arms. With a "loving" smile on his face taehyung walked over to jimins bed and places the items he had down onto the side drawer.

"Glad to see your Finally awake honey."

Tae said as he sat down on the chair next to jimins bed. He was eyeing jimins body closely. working his way up from jimins thighs all the way to his gagged mouth.

" I was starting to feel lonely without you."

Taes hand slowly caressed the side of jimins face as he said this which made jimin tug on his restraints and turn his head the opposite way in Disgust.

" Aww come on baby don't be like that. I know your just nervous right now but you'll be loving everything I do to you soon enough."

Jimin whipped his head back around to look directly at tae, anger Seething through his eyes.

"HMPHFFHMFFF!!!"

Jimins fear quickly turned into anger as he began yelling at tae to let him go through his gag. Like hell was jimin going to enjoy ANYTHING this psycho did to him.

"oh I'm sorry honey I can't understand you when when you yell like that. You know, with the gag and all." tae said teasingly

Jimin was going to lose it with this motherfucker.

" But~, if you behave yourself I would be glad to remove it for you."
he said with a sweet smile, almost how one would speak in order to calm a child having a tantrum.

Jimin was furious at how powerless he was in this situation but figured he had to play along for now In order to eventually escape, or at least get this damn gag out of his mouth.

Jimins tense muscles hesitantly relaxed and his angry fists slowly uncurled from the ropes he was pulling at.

"That's a good boy."

Tae said while stroking the top of jimins head, and made jimin flinch at his touch.

Starting from the corners, Taehyung slowly Peeled the sticky tape off of jimins mouth. Jimin grimaced at the faint stinging pain left over from the tape and he quickly spit out the cloth from inside his mouth.

" Now isn't that much better?" Tae asked tilting his head to the side and showing a warm smile on his face.

" What the FUCK do you think your doing!"

Jimin immediately yelled out at tae, ignoring his last question.

" LET ME GO YOU CRAZY BASTARD!!!"

Taehyung did the same and ignored jimins sudden explosion of anger. He just waved his finger in front of jimin as if he was telling him he was misbehaving like a child.

" No, no, no, not yet honey. We haven't even eaten yet."

Taehyung pulled out two sandwiches from the paper bag he had brought in earlier open. He then offered to feed jimin a half of a sandwich.
Jimin sharply turned his head the other way.

" I'm not hungry." He stated bluntly

Tae paused for a moment and then let out a sigh.

" Huh.... You must be hungry. You've been asleep for two whole days. Tae said exasperatingly

Jimins eyes widened in surprise for a moment. Had he really been out for THAT long? Even so he still stubbornly refused the food that tae offered.

"Fine. You don't have to eat right now but you have to drink some water." Tae exclaimed

"fuck you"

Jimin harshly said to tae looking straight into his eyes this time.

Big mistake jimin

"Fuck ME?" Tae asked threateningly while standing up and making his way closer to jimin.

" Oh no honey. The only one getting FUCKED around here is YOU."

Taehyung then picked up an open bottle of water and took a swig of it in his mouth. He then straddled jimin on the bed sitting directly on top of him.

"Stop! No what are you doing you cra-"

Before jimin could finish his sentence taehyung had grabbed him firmly by the jaw and put his lips against jimins. Jimin struggled furiously under tae trying to get the taller man off of him but it was no use, he was too weak and restrained.

Taehyung was forcing jimin to drink the water directly from his mouth while firmly holding the rest of his frail body down with his other hand.
When tae finally parted his lips from jimin, the other boy was coughing and gasping for air.

Taehyung looked down At jimin who was writhing in pain and gasping for air and smiled maniacally.

He wasn't done yet.

He took the other water bottle off the dressr and unscrewed the cap.

"Honey, you better think again before you talk to me like that"

He then poured the water all over jimins face and body. jimin felt as if he was drowning as the water made its way into his mouth, eyes, and nose. He strained against the ropes that held his limbs down and he could feel tears starting to well up in his eyes.

"IM SORRY, IM SORRY STOP PLEASE!!!"

Jimin begged as taehyung held the water bottle over his face for one more round of a waterfall.

Tae dropped the empty bottle on the floor and took jimins neck into a tight hold with his large hand, suffocating him.

" Better get used to it honey..."

He said looking straight into jimins eyes.

"Were just getting started."

And with that tae let go of jimins neck and walked out the door, locking it behind him. Leaving a cold, wet, and scared jimin alone for the night.

Chapter Text

Jimin could barely get any sleep that night. A mixture of the cold wet clothes clinging to his skin, and the fear that tae might come back kept him wide awake.

The ropes around his hands and feet were starting to hurt and he felt utterly hopeless lying tied up on his bed in his solitary confinement. He lied there and wondered if anyone was looking for him, or if they had even noticed he was gone. Hoseok had to have noticed by now right? He would definetly come looking for him soon... Yeah definetly.

-

A few hours later as jimin was lying in his bed, still fumbling around with the ropes, he heard a familiar sound approaching outside his room.

*Step step step*

"oh no" he thought to himself

The loud clicks of the locks on the metal door made jimin jump as he stared at the opening door in horror. The door opened just enough for taes head to peek through.

" Good morning!" Tae greeted jimin with a happy smile and energy filled pupils.

He then opened the door wider so he could slip into the small room and lock the door firmly behind him. He then waltzed over to jimins bed, while hiding something behind his back that jimin couldn't see.

" Did you sleep well?"

Tae asked with a mischevious smile on his face. He could obviously see jimin was shivering and exhausted from sleeping in his cold, soaked clothes all night. But it was inevitable, tae thought jimin needed to be punished for what he said before.

"Why are you doing this?!"

Jimin desperately asked taehyung with a look of pain and fear in his eyes.

" Doing what?" Tae replied as if he had no idea what jimin was talking about.

" Were going to have so much fun together! You should be more excited jimin."
Tae excitedly said as he sat down on the edge of his bed.

" Look, I even brought you presents!"

Tae then revealed what he was holding behind his back. It was a black duffel bag that looked as if it was filled with many things inside because of its bulkiness.

" I don't want any presents. I just want to go home!" Jimin stated firmly to tae

Tae looked at jimin with a face of disappointment and said

" Well that's not very nice. When someone offers you a gift you should accept it gratefully."

As he said this he began to unzip the zipper at the top of the bag and flashed an excited smile at jimin.

" Its a surprise, so I'm going to give you this so your not tempted to peek"

Jimin started to panic. He instinctively began pulling at the ropes again and tried shifting his body as far away from tae as he possibly could.

"Just hold still" tae said sweetly into jimins ear.

"NO STOP!" Jimin yelled

Tae had slipped something over jimins eyes and all he could see was black darkness. He Frantically looked all around in an attempt to regain his vision but he couldn't see anything.

" Wow I knew it. This blind fold really suits you well jimin~"
Tae cooed while placing small kisses on jimins ear. The boy shuddered at his gentle touch.

" Ugh take this off of me I can't see!" Jimin demanded, still trying to shake the leather blind fold off.

Tae let out a small laugh and said

"That's kind of the point sweetie."

Jimin could now only hear the rustling of what he assumed was tae searching through his duffel bag for something else. His sight was rendered useless now which made the whole experience even more frightening.

"AHA FOUND IT!" tae excitedly said.

" This is definetly your style honey."

Just then jimin felt something pinch his nose closed and he realized he couldn't breathe. He quickely opened his mouth to gasp for air but when he did, something hard and round was shoved inside. Jimin Was surprised and tried to spit it out but tae had already secured the ball gag Using a leather strap that wrapped around the back of his head.

Jimin screamed with all his might until he even felt light headed, but it was no use. The ball gag was too tight and left no room for him to make much noise.

"You look so adorable right now jimin it's getting really hard for me to hold back" tae said, only now more aroused than before.

Jimins body tensed at taes statement.

" But I will because we still have so much time left to play together."

Just then jimin felt taes hands grip the collar of his shirt and stretch it up a few inches so it was separated from his neck.

" Now don't move too much. I don't want to hurt you."

Jimin let out a muffled whimper and shook his head frantically from side to side. Motioning to tae to stop whatever he was planning on doing.

Tae pulled out a sharp pocket knife from his pants and flipped it open. He then cut straight down the middle of jimins shirt, exposing his smooth pale skin. He shivered as the cold air hit his exposed chest that was still wet from the night before.

Tae then cut shrough his sleeves and removed the rest of his black long sleeve, leaving his upper body bare. Now tae moved towards the lower region of jimins body. Slowly caressing his inner thigh and eyeing him hungrily.

" You must be uncomfortable here with these wet jeans on still, huh baby?"

Tae said while firmly grasping jimins crotch in his hand. He smiled and enjoyed the breathy moans that escaped jimins gagged mouth as well as the way his back arched in reaction to his touch.

" Don't worry, I'll make it better right now."

Tae said while unbuckling jimins belt and unzipped his jeans. He slid his pants down all the way to his ankles and then cut through each pant leg so the jeans could be removed without untying his restraints.

"this can't be happening." Jimin thought to himself. There was no way he had ever thought something like this would happen to him. He felt so embarrassed being left so exposed and helpless to taehyung. His cheeks had begun to turn red out of embarrassment as well.

"now that's much better, don't you think jiminnie."
" luckily your underwear isn't too wet so I'll let you keep them on..."

Taes finger ran itself under the waistband of jimins boxers and when he had stretched it far enough, he let it go and it snappped back onto jimins stomach hard. Jimin made a loud gasp and flinched at the sudden pain.

"at least for now."

Tae said teasing jimin some more.

" by the way honey, your body is so cute. I just love the way you react "

Tae said while trailing his fingers up the side of jimins torso.

"Like here.."

Tae traced small circles around one of jimins nipples and watched how his body moved in reaction.

" Or even here.."

Taehyung then began stroking jimins crotch over his underwear with his other hand. Careful to make each stroke extra long and slow so jimin could really feel it.

Jimin hated taehyungs touch and the way he teased him. He couldn't stand it and wanted to refuse but...his body betrayed him. Loud moans escaped jimins mouth before he could suppress them and his body tensed at taes touch without him permission.

"So cute~" tae repeated and then took his hands off of jimins body.

" I think it's time for you to see the rest of your presents."

Jimin was exhausted from lack of sleep and on top of that being sexually harassed, that when he felt something being placed on top of his head he couldn't put up much of a fight. He lied there as tae began dressing him in something else.

"Your going to love it baby, you look adorable."
Tae said while putting the finishing touches on jimins "present".

"Perfect!" Tae happily exclaimed.
"Now let's get you out of bed so you can see it."

First tae began to undo jimins ball gag.

"Your behaving so well today, I don't think you need to be trained with this anymore. Should I take it off for you?"

Jimin quickly nodded because his mouth was hurting and his drool had started running down his jaw and onto his neck.

"Alright. But you have to behave or else I'll have to put it back on."

With that he unbuckled the strap holding the gag in place and freed jimins mouth. Jimin sighed in relief and licked his plump lips that had become dry with the gag on.

Tae then took out his pocket knife again and began cutting at the ropes on jimins right hand.

Jimin realized this was his chance to fight back and escape. He had to at least try even if the odds were against him.

When his right hand finally bacame loose of the ropes jimin blindly started swinging his arm around trying to land at least one hit on his captor.
Surprisingly jimin managed to hit taehyung right in the face, causing him to have a bloody nose.

"AH!" Tae yelled out in pain.

While he was distracted with his nose jimin quickly tried to blindly untie his other hand but he couldn't get the knots undone. Suddenly tae grabbed jimins free hand and pinned it down above his head. He then slapped jimin right across the face, leaving a stinging red mark on his left cheek. Jimin cried out in pain.

" What did I tell you about behaving yourself!"
Taehyung furiously yelled. Blood still dripping from his nose.

" I guess you need to be retrained today as well huh?" Tae said domineeringly. He tightened his grip on jimins wrist, making him wince in pain.

Jimin cowered under tae as he cut free his other hand and then pinned both arms above his head. It scared jimin how quickly taehyung could go from being so sweet to being so forcefull and aggressive.

Tae then placed thick leather handcuffs on jimins wrists and attached them to the bed post above his head so he couldn't move while tae untied his legs.

Taehyung then grabbed more rope from his bag of "presents" and started retying jimins legs. Only this time he tied his ankles to his thighs so that he couldnt fully extend his legs and stand up straight to run away.

" NO PLEASE THE ROPES HURT! IM SORRY I WONT DO IT AGAIN!"

Jimin desperately pleaded with tae, but it was useless because tae wasnt listening to anything he said.

Once he finished tying up jimins legs, tae searched through his bag one last time.

" I didn't want to have to use this but you've left me with no choice."

Just then jimin felt something thick and sturdy being placed around his neck. As it got tighter jimin coughed and grimaced in pain.

"Agh- it's too tight tae! I can't breathe!" Jimin exclaimed

"Shut up." Tae coldly ordered

Tae then undid jimins handcuffs and finally removed the blind fold from his eyes. Jimin squinted his eyes, now sensitive to the light from being blinded for so long. When they adjusted, he found himself looking straight at taehyungs displeased face.

" You are such an ungrateful bitch sometimes Park jimin."

Tae said with a rather angry and displeased tone in his voice

" I worked so hard to get this cute outfit for you and THIS is how you thank me?"

He said, pointing to his bloody nose that had by now stopped bleeding.

Just then jimin realized the outfit tae had put on him. He looked just like a puppy.

He had soft pink ears that clipped onto his pink hair and frilly underwear with a tail attached on the back. Lastly he noticed the pink leather collar around his neck that had been choking him before with a dog tag that had his name "jimin" engraved on it. Also a long leash was attached to the collar and tae was holding the other end of it in a tight grip.

"What the h-" jimin started to say but taehyung had cut his statement short by fiercely yanking the leash attached to his collar closer to his face. jimin was was on his hands and knees on the bed now, just like a dog.

" Good puppy's don't talk back to their masters"

Tae said coldly. Jimin clenched his teeth as tae pulled the leash tighter in his grip.

" Also only good puppy's get to sleep on the bed, not bad ones."

Suddenly tae grabbed jimin directly by the collar and dragged him off the bed and onto the floor with no warning. Jimin hit the ground hard with a loud "thud" and curled into himself in pain.
Tae squated down next to jimin on the floor and said

"And you have been a VERY bad dog."

Jimin felt defeated as he lied on the cold floor listening to what taehyung said. He realized he was no longer a person anymore, he was just taehyungs plaything. When it finally sank in, the tears wouldn't stop flowing from his eyes.

" crying won't make me forgive you baby boy"
Tae said

" You did this to yourself. And now you have to pay the consequences"

Jimin just hid his face in his hands hoping everything would stop then and there.

" Your sleeping on the floor tonight so you can think about what you've done wrong."

Tae said as he pulled on jimins leash again, leading him towards The end of the bed.
Jimin tried to stand and walk to follow tae but he couldn't since his legs were still tied up. He had to crawl on his hands and knees to follow him.

Tae tied the leash around the leg of the bed and then grabbed the handcuffs he had used earlier. He then took both jimins hands behind his back and forced him down so his face was pressed against the floor.

"Ow!" Jimin groaned as he was manhandled by taehyung. He was surprisingly strong compared to how he looked.

Once tae had handcuffed jimins arms behind his back he stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead as if he had just finished some kind of hard labor. He looked down at jimins tear stained face.
He sighed,

" I hope you know I'm only doing this because I care about you honey."

He said looking truly apologetic towards jimin.

" I want us to get along, but I can't be the only one putting in the effort."

Jimin looked up at tae confused. It didn't seem like taehyung was lying. It almost seemed, genuine? Like he actually didn't want to torture him. But either way, jimin still didn't believe his words, not yet. He was still way to scared and doubtful of taehyung.

"Alright my cute little puppy, you still need to reflect on your actions so I'm going to leave you alone now. Sleep tight."

And with that he left jimin alone in his room yet again. Jimin hoped he could get at least an hour of sleep this time, But he kept thinking about what tae had said. He couldn't understand exactly what taes intentions were, and that bothered him. Almost as much as his tight collar and restraints bothered him. He sighed and figured he should try and get some rest.
He let his exaustion overcome him and drifted to sleep.

Chapter Text

- 10 years ago -

Tae had always thought it was normal. That nothing was wrong in his life. He assumed everybody else experienced the same things as he did, because that's what his father told him.

Well namjoon wasn't his real father but when his mom decided to remarry after raising him as a single mother for so long, tae couldn't argue.
He was actually quite excited to experience what having a "real" dad was like.

Since taes mom worked as a flight attendant she wasn't home very often, which resulted in taehyung being left in namjoons care. Namjoon was always very caring and nice to tae whenever he watched him.

He did all the normal things his mom would do like take him to school, cook him meals, and he even let him watch TV before going to bed. Perfectly normal.

It was when namjoon got angry, or even if he was just in a bad mood, that tae became nervous.

"TAEHYUNG GET IN HERE!"

namjoon yelled from the kitchen angrily

Taehyung paused the video game he was playing in the living room, and quickly went to the kitchen.

" kim taehyung, didn't I tell you to do these dishes an hour ago."

Namjoon said sternly while pointing to the sink full of dirty dishes.

Taehyung just looked down at his feet, avoiding namjoons gaze. He fidgeted with his hands nervously as namjoon stood there looking down at him in anger.

"I'm sorry..." tae quietly said, "I forgot."

"But you certainly didn't forget about your video game over there didn't you?"

Namjoon snapped, only making tae feel more sheepish. His head sank a little lower at namjoons loud voice.

" Come with me, I think you need a time out."

Namjoon said as he grabbed taehyung little wrist in his hand and dragged him into his room.
Once in taes room, namjoon sat him on his bed and turned around to lock the door behind him.

He then walked over to the bed and sat down right next to tae.

" Lie down across my knee. Now."

Namjoon didn't need to yell at tae, his deep voice was enough to pressure the young boy into listening. Tae reluctantly lied down stomach first across namjoons knees. Suddenly namjoon grabbed taes pants and pulled them down, exposing his behind.

"What are you doing?!" Tae asked frantically

" You need to learn how to listen and to what your told taehyung. And this is how I'm going to teach you."

Namjoon then raised his hand into the air and landed a hard spank on taes behind. Tae cried out in pain and tears started running down his face.
Namjoon spanked tae two more times and each spank being harder than the last. By the end of it tae had large red hand marks covering his bottom and it hurt for him to get up off of namjoons knee on his own.

Namjoon pulled taehyungs pants up and then sat him on his lap so they were sitting face to face. tae was still crying and sniffling when namjoon lifted his chin up to look him in the eyes. Namjoon wiped a tear from taes cheek and said

"I'm only doing this because I love you tae"

Taes crying quieted down as he listened to namjoons words.

" I care about you so much."

As he said this namjoon said this he placed a kiss on taes forehead. Tae closed his eyes and smiled when he did this. His crying had completely stopped now.

" I just want to show you how much I really love you..."

Namjoon then placed another kiss on taes cheek, then another one on his neck, and then he took taes face in his hands and kissed him right on the mouth.

It was a much longer kiss than tae was used to. His mother would usually Give him a quick peck on the lips before she dropped him off at school but, this was different. This kiss was much longer it didn't seem like namjoon was going to stop there.

Tae squirmed around as namjoon kept kissing him, confused with this new situation. When namjoon finally parted lips with taehyung the boy gasped for air and looked at namjoon in confusion.

"What was that?" Tae asked in shock while covering his mouth with his hands.

" That's how you show someone that you love them."

Namjoon explained with a sweet smile on his face and while stroking taehyungs hair.

" You can also show someone you love them by making them feel good here"

Namjoon said as he lightly stoked taes crotch. Tae flinched at his touch and looked up at namjoons face. He looked as if he was really enjoying what he was doing.

"Really?" Tae hesitantly asked, still unsure.

"Of course." Namjoon replied

" Daddy loves you so much taehyung, don't forget that."

Tae thought about it for a second and then smiled and nodded. He figured his dad wouldn't lie to him because he said that he loved him.

From that point on tae believed in namjoons words and didn't suspect anything was wrong with what he did to him. When ever tae got in trouble, namjoon would repremand him, sometimes very harshly, but afterwords he would prove it was out of "love" by kissing and touching him all over.

This went on as tae got older and no one suspected a thing. But when taehyung was around 16 and namjoon abandoned their family out of the blue, he was shocked.

Hadn't namjoon said that he loved him? Hadnt he proved his love by touching and kissing him all those times? Was it all really a lie? Tae was so helplessly confused and didn't know what to do.

Of course, tae had to go on living even without his "father" and manage somehow. he decided to get a part time job to take his mind off of his father and ended up working the front desk of some hole in the wall dance studio for a five years.

That's where he met hoseok. A happy go lucky dance teacher who managed to distract him from any problem he was having 24/7. He would always greet taehyung in the morning with an energetic " HEY TAE TAEEEEE!", Which made him laugh.

One day hoseok went up to tae and said bluntly

" Do you want to go on a date with my friend?"

Tae choked at his sudden question

"What???" He asked confused

" His name is park jimin and he's really desperate...and cute. But I mean like REALLY desperate." hoseok stated

"I don't know, I don't thin-" tae started

"PERFECT I'll set up the date for Saturday! Thaaaanks tae! OH, he like red wine by the way so have lots of that too."

And with that hoseok disappears into the dance room to start his class.

Tae was unsure about what he had just gotten himself into and was shocked for a second.

"A date?" He thought to himself

He had never been on one before. The only love he had ever received was from the things his dad had done to him. He had never tried to love anybody else.

He sighed and thought to himself

" Maybe this will be good for me. Maybe I can finally move on and find somebody else I can love."

A small smile grew on his face as he sat down and began his work for the day.

Chapter Text

While asleep, jimin felt strangely at peace and safe despite his circumstances. He felt comfortable and dreamed that someone was softly stroking his hair. jimin loved the feeling when people played with his hair. It relaxed him and made a content smile appear on his face.

He smiled and enjoyed the pleasant dream untill he felt something soft and warm on his lips. He was confused for a moment until he realized he was dreaming of kissing someone. As the kiss got deeper and more intimate jimin wondered why it felt so real. As he melted into the kiss, jimin began opening his eyes to try and wake himself from his dream when he realized, he wasn't dreaming at all.

Taehyung was lying next to jimin, softly stroking his hair while pulling his face close so that their lips were locked in a kiss.

Jimin pulled away from taehyung in shock and stared at him in confusion.

"I'm sorry baby did I wake you?"

Tae asked apologetically

"I didn't mean to, it's just that your so cute when you sleep.~"

He said while smiling sweetly at jimin. Jimin was still in shock and didn't know what to say. He just akwardly stared at tae in disbelif. Tae then sat up from lying down and moved closer towards jimin. Jimin automatically moved away but tae calmly said,

" Don't worry I'm not going to hurt you. I'm just going to sit you up alright?"

Jimin knew he wouldn't have been able To sit up on his own, especially with his hands and legs being tied up and all. He eyed tae wearily but eventually calmed down enough for tae to help him sit up and gently lean back against the bed.

"There, better?" Tae asked

Jimin just gave a short nod while still averting his gaze from him. tae smiled at the small reaction from jimin and proceeded to pull out a small tray of food from behind him. It looked like there was a main dish of homemade porridge with other side dishes like apple slices and crackers.

Jimins mouth watered at the abundant tray of food. He had been so exausted and mentally drained that he hadn't noticed how hungry he really was.

" Hungry? I made the porridge myself just for you. I already tasted it and I think your going to like it!"

Tae excitedly said while he spooned a bit of the porridge and held it up to jimins mouth.

Jimin stayed silent and stubbornly turned his head away from the food. He was still angry at tae for kidnapping him and keeping him tied up. Tae sighed and said

" Huh.. look jimin you need to eat. I know your hungry, I can see it in your eyes."

Jimin glanced at taehyung from the corner of his eye and then at the food and gulped guiltily. Tae was right, he was extremely hungry. He hadn't eaten anything in almost four days. He realized had to eat something if he wanted to stay alive and have any chance of escaping someday.

Jimin took a deep breath and turned his head forward to face tae. Slowly, he opened his mouth just wide enough for tae to spoon the porridge in. At first he chewed slowly, still hesitant of the food, but as he noticed how delicious it was he couldn't slow down. Tae kept feeding big spoonfuls of the porridge to jimin and was glad to see that he was finally eating.

Once jimin had finished eating and tae had basically scraped the bowl clean, He set the tray full of empty dishes aside and Turned to look back at jimin.

"Oh you've got some food leftover on your mouth. Let me get it for you."

Tae said and he reached to clean jimins face. Jimin was startled for a second but strangely enough he let tae use his thumb to wipe away the food from around his lips. He hadn't noticed before but, taehyungs hands were surprisingly soft and gentle.

When taes thumb ran over his bottom lip, jimin just stared at taes eyes that were intently focused on his mouth. When tae looked up from cleaning his face and their eyes met for a second, jimin quickly looked away in embarrassment.

"Thanks..."

jimin mumbled quietly under his breath to tae.

" Your welcome!"

Tae said with an overjoyed smile on his face. He was happy that they were finally getting more comfortable around each other.

"Now that your full, I bet you want to get yourself cleaned up don't you?"

Tae said looking at jimins body. Jimin looked down at himself and realized how dirty he was. He had dust and dirt all over his body from sleeping on the floor and overall just lack of basic hygiene over the past few days. He probably didn't smell all that pleasant either.

"Alright I'll take you the bathroom so you can get all washed up and clean." tae said

For the first time jimins face lit up just a little bit because he really wanted to take a hot bath and clean himself up. But he still had one question on his mind. He took a deep breath and bravely asked

" U..um... Do you think you could take these off of me? So I can wash myself?"

Taehyung smiled warmly at him and said

" I think we can do that. But, Only for a little while alright?"

Jimin thought about it for a second but then nodded his head in agreement. He wanted to be free of his uncomfortable restraints, even if it was only for a little while.

"Alright let's go get you cleaned up."

Tae said as he stood up and walked towards jimin. He bent down, untied his leash from the bed, and swiftly picked him up off the floor cradling him in his arms. Jimin was so small that tae had no problem carrying him to the door.

"Your so light, it's adorable~"

Tae teased with a cute smile on his face.
Jimin pouted and turned his face away from tae in embarrassment. His size had always been a sore spot for him and he didn't like being teased about it. His cheeks turned red and tae giggled at his adorable reaction.

When tae opened the door jimin saw that his room was connected to another small room that looked as if it were a basement or cellar of some sort. On the other side of the room there was a flight of stairs leading up to somewhere. Tae carried him up the stairs and jimin recognized the decoration around the house. They were walking through the main hall in taes home.

As they walked down the hallway jimin glanced at tae. He studied his face a bit more closely and noticed that tae was fairly easy on the eyes...for a kidnapper he meant. Taehyung had a unique look to him that was very innocent and sweet, but also at the same time masculine and alluring.

Jimin snapped out of his trance when thay arrived at the end of the hall and stood outside the last door. When tae opened the door jimin was taken back by how nice and spacious the bathroom was. Everything was clean and neatly tucked away in it's place. Tae stepped into the bathroom and closed the door behind him. He then gently set down jimin on the floor and placed him so he was leaning against the bathtub. Tae then started the water and began filling up jimins bath.

"Okay now that the baths running how about we get you a little bit more comfortable." Tae said as he pulled out his key for the hand cuffs and unlocked jimins wrists from behind his back.

Jimin sighed with relief as he brought his hands in front of him and massaged his wrists. Next tae began untying the ropes around his legs. When jimin was finally able to stretch them out, relief washed over him as feeling started rushing back into his lower body.

" Better?" Tae asked jimin while raising an eyebrow

"Much. " Jimin replied, now relieved of the uncomfortable restraints.

"Good! now let's get you undressed and into the bath."

There wasn't much for jimin to undress in the first place. He still had on the puppy outfit tae had put on him the night before. Piece by piece tae removed his outfit. First the ears, and then the collar around his neck. But when tae reached down to remove his underwear jimin became defensive again and covered his lower half. Tae looked up at jimin and said

" Come on honey, There's no need to be shy. Were both adults here."

Jimin still stayed in his guarded position, eyeing tae wearily.

" I won't do anything to you right now, alright? Trust me." Tae said with a sincere smile on his face.

Trust. That was something jimin didn't have a whole lot of at the moment. But, for some odd reason he decided to believe tae, just this once. He couldn't explain it, but jimin didn't get the feeling that tae was lying or trying to trick him. It was weird. With that jimin slowly removed his hands from body and let tae continue to undress him. When tae slid the frilly underwear off him, jimin closed his eyes and blushed bright red in embarrassment. Tae smiled and patted jimin on the head.

" There, now that wasn't so hard was it?" Tae praised.

" Alright let me help you into the bath."

Tae started and moved closer to help him up but was stopped by jimins hand in front of his face.

" No, I can do it by myself."

He insisted and slowly started to stand up while leaning on the tub for support. But he only got halfway to a full stand before his legs gave out and he collapsed again to the floor.

" Your still too weak. Let me help you." Tae commanded

It was no longer up for discussion. Taehyung lifted jimins arm over his shoulder and helped him stand up , acting as a crutch for support. He then helped him into the bath and sat himself down on a stool next to the bathtub.

Jimin was in heaven. The warm water felt so relaxing against his skin and made the pain from the sore spots where he had been tied up fade away. He smiled without realizing it and tae had noticed. Tae smiled to himself again and reached for the shampoo and poured a generous amount into his hands. He slowly started massaging the shampoo into jimins hair.

" I can do that myself you know."

Jimin stated as he reached above his head to take over the shampooing. But tae just shooed his hands away and continued washing his pink hair. Jimin sighed and was left with no choice but to sit in his bath and let tae clean him. Once tae was finished and rinsed jimins hair clean, he unplugged the bath and let all the water go down the drain. He then helped jimin stand up again and exit the tub. He wrapped jimin in a white towel and helped him dry his hair. When he finished, taehyung said

" I'm going to go grab you some new clothes so finish drying off and I'll be right back." And he left the bathroom, locking the door behind him.

Jimin continued to dry himself off and started to Think about tae. He had become very confused about what to think of him. He thought about how just moments ago tae had been helping him into the bath and even washed his hair for him. He wondered that if tae had the ability to be compassionate and kind, why did he do all those cruel things to him before? It didn't make sense to jimin and he wanted to know why taehyung acted the way he did.

Just as he was finishing up his thought, tae walked back into the bathroom with fresh folded clothes in his hands.

"Here put these on." Tae said as he handed jimin the set of clothes.

Jimin slipped on a baby blue turtleneck along with with some loose black joggers that were made of a fairly soft material on the inside. Lastly he slipped on some fluffy black socks to match his pants and looked at tae when he was finished getting dressed.

" You make anything look adorable sweetheart." Tae said as he fawned over jimins ability tomake any clothing look cute on him.

" Can you please stop calling me cute." Jimin said embarrassed in front of tae.

"Why?" Tae asked confused

"Because guys aren't supposed to called be 'cute'. It's embarrassing." Jimin retaliated.

He wasn't too enthusiastic about being in the same catagory as a puppy or a plush toy.

" I'm sorry but, I can't help it." Tae giggled and said,

" Your just too cute honey."

Jimin crossed his arms in front of him and rolled his eyes, he hated being called cute. Almost as much as he hated being called small.

Tae laughed at jimins childish reaction and then started pulling the handcuffs out of his back pocket.

" Okay let's head back to your room now honey."

Tae said as he moved toward jimin and opened up the cuffs. Fear instantly struck jimin and he quickly started to back away from tae. He had gotten so comfortable with tae that he forgot why he was there in the first place.

" Wait! I thought you said I didn't have to wear those anymore."

Jimin frantically argued as his back pressed up against the wall.

" I only said for a little bit sweetie remember? "

Tae answered.

"Please.. please don't put them back on. I promise I won't run away just, don't take me back down there! Don't tie me up like before, please I'm begging you !"

Jimin pleaded with tae as he Broke down onto his knees in dispare. He hid his face in his hands and almost started crying. Just the thought of being tied up and alone in that room again made him tremble in fear. Tae noticed this and squatted down beside jimin.

" Hey, jimin, look at me." He said calmly while tilting his head so he could see jimins face.

He slowly moved jimins hand away from his face and they both looked each other in the eyes now. Jimin was still shaking in fear when tae sympathetically looked at him and said

"Look, if your that scared I won't take you back down there okay? I won't put on the handcuffs either, but ONLY if you promise me you won't try to run away. Got it?"

Jimin stared into taehyungs brown eyes and almost couldn't believe what he had said. Jimin wiped the tears from his eyes and looked at tae and nodded

"Okay." He said shyly.

Taehyung smiled and patted jimins head

"Well alright then." And extended his hand out to jimin to help him up.

Jimin only looked at tae's hand at first but slowly he reached out and accepted his help. He let his small fingers curl around taes hand as he Was helped up off the floor.

"Ready?" Tae asked with a sweet tone in his voice Jimin gave a slight nod and answered

"mm-hm".

Tae then opened the door and, still holding jimins hand, led him out of the bathroom and left the handcuffs on the floor behind him.

Chapter Text

Tae led jimin down the hallway and into the living room where they had their first date. jimin thought back to the time they sat close together on the very same couch and drank wine while openly conversing, and everything was completely normal. He never would have guessed in his wildest dreams what was in store for him back then.

The two walked into the living room and Tae gestured for Jimin to take a seat on the couch. Jimin sat at the very edge of the couch and pulled his knees up close to his chest. He couldn't find the courage to look Tae in the eyes so he focused on his hands and the bruises left on his wrists from the handcuffs. Tae noticed Jimins hesitancy and slowly took a seat beside him on the couch. He turned towards jimin and said,

" Its okay sweetie you can relax now."

But jimin couldn't relax at all. He stayed huddled in the the corner of the couch and continued to ignore taes words. Tae let out a small sigh and decided to just sit and wait until jimin felt comfortable talking with him. jimin felt extremely akward sitting in complete silence while tae observed him, never breaking his gaze. jimin stole quick glances to see if tae was still watching him every few minutes and sure enough, he was. He couldn't take the silence much longer so he decided to muster up his courage and speak. 

" A-are you going to stare at me like that all night?" jimin asked sheepishly. Tae smirked and answered back smoothly

" Only if you want me to~." Jimin gulped and he could feel his face heating up from Tae's comment. Why did his teasing affect him so much? Its not like he's never been teased before.

" I'd rather you didn't..." Jimin said with a little more confidence this time in order to mask his sudden confusion. Tae let out a small laugh and said

" Fine. What would you RATHER do?" he asked with a smile. Jimin just shrugged his shoulders shyly and looked towards the floor, still unable to look tae in the eyes. He couldn't help but smile at jimin as he moved a little bit closer to him.

" How about we just, talk then?" Tae suggested.

Talk? Great, the last thing jimin wanted to do was have a friendly conversation with his kidnapper.

" Alright ill start then." tae said, " hmmm... OH! I know. How come your so incredibly attractive?" Tae blunly asked with a mischievous look in his eye

Jimin looked up from the floor and straight at tae in shock, eyes wide at the abrupt question.

" What?!" he asked flabbergasted. Tae laughed at his cute surprised reaction.

" Haha! I bet you were a heartbreaker in school huh?" he asked. Jimins body stiffened and he stayed quiet for a second as he continued to looks down at the floor. He thought about the question for a second and began fidgeting with his hands. 

"Actually...no. " Jimins expression had gone serious as he spoke.

" I..I didn't have many friends in school..." He stuttered

Taes' face grew serious as well when he heard this. He was only joking but, he hadn't expected that as an answer. He turned his whole body to face jimin.

"Wait, what do you mean?" he asked inquisitively

Jimin shifted his body the opposite way to try and communicate that he didn't want to elaborate any further. He rubbed his arms and curled into himself as he spoke,

" Its no big deal I just.. just liked being alone was all."

Tae didn't like that answer. He grew suspicious and looked at jimin sternly while furrowing his eyebrows. Tae noticed jimins voice trembled slightly as he spoke, which seemed strange. He suspected the boy was hiding something from him, And he didn't like it.

"Are you SURE that was the reason?" Tae asked in a deeper tone

Jimin curled into himself even more at trying to avoid taes question. He remained silent.

" Jimin. I don't think your telling me the truth."

Tae said with a hint of annoyance now in his tone. he was starting to lose his patience as jimin refused to answer his questions. Jimin just sat in the same silent curled up position facing away from tae with no sign of answering him anytime soon. jimin gave an unconvincing retaliation and argued back

"I am t-telling the truth!" 

It was obviously a lie and taehyung could see right through his desperate attempts to hide the truth. Tae moved closer so that he sat was now basically hovering over Jimin in the corner of the couch. He placed his hands down around both sides of Jimin on the couch to show that there was no escaping the inevitable now. imin became frightened and ducked his head into his knees and used his arms to cover the top of his head. tae saw him so this and became even angrier.

"DAMN IT JIMIN, DONT HIDE FROM ME!" he yelled loudly.

Tae angrily grabbed both of jimins hands and forcefully pinned them up above his head, consequently forcing him to bring his face up from his knees. jimin was trembling and turned his face to the side to avoid tae as he struggled under his vice grip. taes hands were twice the size of jimins and he only needed one hand to securely hold both of jimins in place. With his other free hand Tae grabbed Jimins face by his jaw and turned it forward so he was looking right at him. Jimin looked terrified as he continued to struggle against Taehyungs overwhelming strength. it was no use though, there was no escaping the situation now.

" I'm going to give you one more chance Park Jimin. Tell me the truth!" Tae demanded as he tightened his grip on Jimins hands, which made him yelp out in pain.

" AH! STOP PLEASE! " Jimin pleaded

" That's not the answer I was looking for." Tae coldly stated

" I don't tolerate any lying in this house. If you don't have the decency to tell me the truth then you cant stay here. Get up, your going back to your room."

Jimins body froze and he looked straight into taes eyes to see if he was serious about what he said. sure enough Taes eyes were not the kind and gentle ones he'd seen many times before. His eyes were serious and unrelenting and Jimin could tell he wasn't bluffing. After quickly realizing what was happening Jimin snapped out of his fear stricken trance an thrashed around more violently than ever. His biggest fear was having to go back down to that god forsaken solitary confinement and be at the mercy of someone else. He'd rather die than take one more step into that room. Taehyung had started to jerk Jimin off the couch when he suddenly snapped and cried out,

" ITS BECAUSE I WANTED TO DIE ALRIGHT?!"

Taehyung froze and looked down at the tears that had started cascading down Jimins cheeks. Everything was silent except for the faint sound of jimin crying with his face tucked into his shoulder. Tae was still holding Jimins hands above his head so he had nowhere really to hide his crying. After a moment of processing what Jimin had said, Tae snapped out of his initially shocked state and let go of Jimins hands. Jimin curled up into himself again and hid his face in his hands. 

" What do you mean, 'die' Jimin?" Tae asked looking very concerned. 

" I wanted to kill myself. I didn't want to live anymore." Jimin choked out from his sobs.

Tae sat in shock. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. All he could manage to ask was,

" Why? Why would you want that Jimin?!"

" school was hell for me..." Jimin said

" Everyday I would get picked on and bullied by the other guys in my school. They'd call me names like 'shorty' and 'midget'... just because I was shorter than them. They would say things to me like ' Hey, are you sure your a boy? Your way to pretty looking to be a boy!'. I would often get beat up and pushed around, and I couldn't do anything about it because, because I was to small and weak to fight back. I began to think ' wow, maybe their right? maybe I should just die and save everyone the trouble of having to look at my ugly girlish face..."

Before he could say anything any further Taehyung took Jimins face in his hands and kissed him on the lips. They stayed in the kiss for a moment before Tae parted their lips and opened his eyes to look at Jimins face. Jimin had his eyes wide open in shock and confusion since the kiss had caught him off guard.

" why... did you do that?" Jimin asked, looking into Taes eyes.

" I needed you to quit talking like that, like you were worthless." Tae answered. He used his thumb to gently wipe the tears left on Jimins cheek away.

" Its okay now I..." Jimin began, but Tae cut him off and said

" No listen to me, You are not worthless Park Jimin. You are beautiful and anyone that can't see that is blind. I don't ever want you to talk about yourself like you mean nothing ever again, do you understand?" 

Tae was serious when he said this and jimin could tell he wasn't playing around. Jimin took a second before he nodded submissively in agreement. No one had ever talked to him with such passion and conviction about his past. Taes words really stuck with him and made him feel a little warm and happy inside. Something he hadn't felt in a long time.

Tae smiled at jimins nod and pulled his face closer so that their foreheads touched.

" Good." Tae said.

After that Tae placed a small kisses on JImins forehead, and then slowly moved down to kiss his cheek, then finally ever so gently moved to kiss him on the lips. To Jimins surprise he wasn't as shocked as before. He knew the kiss on the lips was coming yet, he didn't shy away. Instead Jimin closed his eyes and welcomed Taes kiss.

The kiss was soft and gentle at first as Tae took the lead and he slowly guided them through it. He pulled jimins body closer with one hand and held his face in the other. Jimins hands naturally wrapped around the back of Taes neck as the kiss got deeper and more intimate. The both of them were lost so deep in the moment until a strange sound interrupted them

*growl*

the sound of Jimins stomach growling quickly brought him back to his senses and he blushed in embarrassment and pulled away from the kiss.

" Oh my god..." Jimin sighed and hid his face in his hands again to hide his embarrassed face

" HAHAHAHA" Taehyung burst out into a laugh that echoed throughout the whole house. He was laughing so hard that he had to wipe tears away from his eyes.

" I guess your more hungry than horny huh Jimin?" Tae teased with a smile on his face.

" SHUT UP!" Jimin yelled at tae, still blushing and embarrassed.

" Haha, well lets whip something up and eat then." Tae said and flashed a cute wink at Jimin. He stood up from the couch and said,

" Meet me in the Kitchen when your not as red as a tomato~! " After that he walked off to the kitchen to prepare some food for their meal.

Jimin let out a big sigh and slumped down on the couch. he curled his little hand into a fist and hit himself on the head a few times for feeling so stupid. Had he really let Taehyung kiss him so easily? And WHY DID HIS STOMACH HAVE TO GROWL AT THE MOST AKWARD TIME??? he thought to himself. He took some deep breaths and decided to just lie there on the couch and wait for his blushed face to go away at least, so Tae couldn't make fun of him again. 

Chapter Text

When Jimin walked into the kitchen he noticed Taehyung rummaging around in the fridge looking for ingredients to make their meal. Tae grabbed all of the ingredients in his arms and turned around to see Jimin standing timidly in the doorway. He smiled and placed all of the ingredients he was holding on the island in the middle of the kitchen. He looked up at jimin and said,

" Feeling better now?"

"Mhm" Jimin replied with a faint smile on his face

Tae waved his hand and motioned to jimin to come closer and sit at one of the bar stools around the island. Jimin listened and hopped up on one of the tall stools that left his feet dangling a little bit off the floor.

" I figured we could make something quick and simple for dinner tonight. Do you like spaghetti?" Tae asked

Jimin nodded his head approvingly 

"Great!" tae said excitedly as he picked up his ingredients and started cooking.

Jimin hadn't noticed before but as he sat watching tae, he realized just how skilled he really was at cooking. He moved so swiftly around the kitchen, making the ground beef, boiling the pasta, and making the marinara sauce all at the same time. Before Jimin knew it, a beautiful plate of pasta was sitting right in front of him. he picked up his fork and and licked his lips hungrily, it looked delicious. After his first bite jimin couldn't slow down. he had eaten half of the spaghetti on his plate when he paused for a moment and looked up from his food.

jimins eyes wandered over to look at tae who was drying dishes by the sink. He wiped his mouth of any residual sauce that may have been there and cleared his throat. He then slowly asked tae,

"Are you... not going to eat too?"

Tae smiled a little when he said this and finished drying his last dish before answering back.

"No, I'm not really in the mood for pasta..." he said as he walked over to stand across from jimin at the counter.

"I'm more hungry for something else." He said as he eyed jimin playfully and licked his lips for added amusment.

Jimin automatically started blushing but he decided he wouldn't give tae the satisfaction of toying with his emotions again. He just rolled his eyes and continued eating his pasta while ignoring taes little games.

"Well have fun starving." Jimin sassily said while shoveling a big bite of pasta into his mouth.

"HAHAHA!" Tae let out the biggest laugh that Jimin had ever seen. It was sort of cute the way he noticed taes eyes squinted into crescents when he laughed. 

"Your something else jimminie" Tae said as he wiped tears from his eyes from laughing so hard

"But honestly, just watching you eat is enough for me. I'm glad you like it." 

Tae smiled warmly at jimin and then he reached out across the table to pat the top of jimins head. He ruffled his pink hair around a bit and jimin just continued eating. once Jimin finished eating his food he sat back in his chair completely satisfied. He let out a big yawn and he could tell now just how tired he felt. Tae noticed this and went over to jimin.

"Are you tired?" Tae asked 

jimin nodded his head and answered back, 

"A little."

"Alright then.." tae said 

"Come with me. I want to show you something."

Tae stood up and walked towards the doorway. He paused and turned around to look back at Jimin, he waved him hand for him to follow. Jimin slowly hopped down from the stool he was perched on and followed behind Tae. They walked out of the kitchen and down the hallway towards the front entrance. But instead of going all the way to the front door, Tae turned to head up a flight of stairs that were only a few feet away. Jimin saw the front exit and paused momentarily. He started at he door and remembered again that he was still indeed a prisoner, no matter how nice tae had treated him. He almost tried to run toward the exit and escape when Tae looked back and said,

" Hey, You Coming?" with a sweet smile on his face

Jimin took a deep breath and smiled back. Peeling his eyes away from the front door,

"Yeah." he said 

The two continued up the steps until they reached the second floor of the house. They walked down a shorter hallway until they stopped at a door at the end. Tae turned around and looked at jimin.

"Alright were here!" Tae said with an excited smile on his face.

jimin looked puzzled and wondered what he was so excited about. Tae bit his lip, trying to contain his excitement, and grabbed onto the door handle of the door in front of them. He turned the knob and opened the door to reveal the surprise he had in store. jimins jaw dropped as he took in the sight behind the door.

" Welcome to your new room!" tae announced with his arms extended out wide to enhance the news.

Jimin couldn't believe his eyes. He was curious and wanted to go in and explore more but, he hesitated. He shyly glanced at tae with a sort of soft pout, almost like a puppy asking its master for permission. Tae undertood immediately and smiled and said,

"Go ahead! take a look around."

Jimin slowly stepped into the room. It was very spacious and the baby blue color of the walls made the space seem gentle and welcoming. There was a lot of nice furniture in the room that was painted white to compliment the softness of the blue on the walls. I was like he was walking through the clouds up in the sky. He noticed another door in the corner of his room and walked over to see what it was. he opened the door and he gasped at the sight. It was a giant walk in closet furnished with all kinds of clothes, shoes, hats and accessories. He picked out one of the sweaters hanging in the closet and felt the sleeve against his cheek. The material was unbelievably soft! He walked out of the closet and looked around at the room.

"Is this all really mine??" Jimin asked in disbelief

"Of course," Tae replied "I would give you the world without a second thought Jimin."

Tae said as he walked over to jimin so they were now standing very close to one another. With his hand he gently tilted jimins chin upward so that he was looking him straight in the eyes. He tilted his head slightly and in a calm voice he said

"And all you have to do is be mine."

Jimin froze at what he said. The joy on his face slowly disappeared and he bagan to look anxious as Tae kept speaking.

" Never run from me, never try to break away, and I can give you anything you've ever wanted."

Tae had now pulled jimin close to his body, holding his waist tight, and was about to go in for a kiss when Jimin suddenly pulled away and yelled,

"NO!"

Tae at first looked surprised by Jimins reaction which later on turned in to confusion. He furrowed his eyebrows and asked

"What do you mean 'No'?"

Jimin took a step back and clutched the sweater he was holding tightly against his chest. He took a deep breath and repeated himself more sternly

"I mean no, I can't stay with you."

"What?" Tae said taken aback 

"I have a life outside of this house. My job, my friends, my family, they all must be worried about me by now!'

Jimin looked seriously at Tae and said,

"I don't want to live the rest of my life being owned."

Taes face was serious and stern when he heard Jimin say this. He looked very angry but...he also looked very hurt by Jimins words. he was searching his mind for something to say when Jimin said.

" I'm leaving, I'm sorry."

And He walked past Tae and towards the door when he was suddenly stopped and he turned around to see Tae holding him by his wrist.

" Where do you think your going?"

He tightened his grip on Jimins wrist which made him yelp out in pain.

"I don't think you understand honey," Tae said very sadistically. He had become way more forceful than before. He pulled jimin closer by his wrist an continued,

"I wasn't asking for your permission. Whether you want to do this the easy way or the hard way is up to you but know this..."

Jimins eyes were wide with horror as he looked into Taes domineering glare when he said,

"Your mine now. And there's nothing you can do about it."

Jimin struggled against Taes grip as hard as he could, there was no was he was going down without a fight. He couldn't break free of Taes grip so he did the only thing he could think of and bit Taes hand as hard as he could. He tasted some leftover blood as tae pulled his hand away and yelled out in pain.

"AAGH!"

Jimin tried to make a run for the door but was stopped by a large hand gripping his ankle. He tripped and fell to the floor hard. Jimin thought he must have hit his his head pretty hard when he fell because the world had started to become hazy. He couldn't move his body and just lied helplessly there on the floor. He looked at the open door longingly one last time before he slipped away in to unconsciousness.

When he woke up, Jimin opened his eyes very slowly. When he sat up a wave of pain rushed to his head. He held hid forhead in pain and felt some kind of bandage where he had hit his head on the floor. "Tae must have put it there" he thought and he sighed, remembering again his current situation. He looked around the room and realized that he was still in the same room they had been in earlier. Technically it was his room but he didn't quite want to get too comfortable calling it that. He then realized while looking around that Tae was nowhere to be found. He also realized that he wasn't tied up or chained to anything, he was completely free. After realizing this he quickly bolted for the door and tried to open it but to his dismay, it had already been locked from the outside. 

of course, it wouldn't just be that easy for him to escape. He tried everything to unlock the door. He tried picking the lock with a safety pin he found in one of the dressers in the room but had no luck with that. He Even tried ramming into the door to see if he could bust it down but that was a complete fail as well. He just didn't Have the strength for it. He sighed and sat back down on the bed now exhausted. He held his head in his hands and tried to think of possible ways out of the room when he heard sounds coming from outside his door.

He stood up and walked over to the door. He placed his ear against it and listened intently. He could hear faint footsteps coming from what sounded like down the hallway from his room. The footseps got louder as they made their way towards his room. At first Jimin thought it was Tae but quickly realized it wasn't him when he heard the sound of two voices whispering outside the door.

"Oh my god do you have to walk so loud? do you want to wake the whole house up?! said yoongi

"oh shut up. if anything the sound of your annoying voice will wake them up first." jin retaliated

"okay just shut up. we need to find out where their keeping their expansive shit, grab it, and get out of here." said yoongi angrily

"fine, fine lets just check this room." jin said

That was when jimin noticed his doorknob starting to turn. he stepped back from the door and started to panick. He needed to find somewhere to hide, and quick. He headed to the walk in closet and hid behing some pants that were hanging on the bottom rack hangers. He listened closely and held his breath when he heard the sound of the lock 'CLICK' and the creaking of the door opening.

"Alright i'll check over here in these drawers and you go check in that closet for anything valuable alright." Yoongi directed

"Got it." jin replied

"Oh and Jin..." Yoongi added

"yeah?" he answered

"Try not to do anything stupid alright?" Yoongi said condescendingly 

"ugh whatever just start looking!" Jin said annoyed

Jimin could hear the sound of the robber approaching the closet and he tried not to make any noise as he waled into the space. He looked around and didn't seem to find anything of value to him besides some high end brand Clothes and watches. He eventually made his way over to the clothes where jimin was hiding behind. Jimin held his breath and closed his eyes and waited for the worst. He could feel the first hanger start to move when he heard,

"Jin! I cant find anything good here. lets go look in another room." said yoongi from outside the closet.

"Alright." answered Jin

his hand slowly moved off and away from the hanger and jimin heard him turn around and walk towards the door. He let out his breath and leaned forward to see if the robbers had finally left. but when he leaned forward he accidentally hit his had on one of the hangers in the exact same spot where he had fallen on earlier. He couldn't handle the pain and he briefly cried out in pain

"Agh!" 

It was just loud enough for one of the robbers to hear and he stormed back into the closet in search of the source of the noise. Jin pulled back the hangers to reveal Jimin huddled in the corner holding his head in pain with a frightened look on his face. 

" well, well, look what we have here." said jin with a sadistic smile on his face.

He grabbed jimin by his collar and forcefully hoisted him up off the ground. Jimin struggled helpessly against the tall man but couldn't get free. Jin dragged jimin out of the closet and into the room where the other robber was. This robber was much shorter thean his accomplice and seemed like he wasn't someone you would want to mess around with. 

"look what I found hiding in the closet." said jin still holding jimin tightly by his arm and collar.

The short man walked over to them and eyed jimin up and down with an expressionless face.

" What should we do with him boss? Should we knock him out and cut out his tongue so he cant say anything?" jin asked excitedly

Jimins face went pale. He shook his head back and forth furiously and yelled out,

"NO PLEASE! LET ME GO I WONT TE-"

He was abruptly cut off by a hard slap to the face by the shorter man. Yoongi then grabbed jimins face and squinted his eyes, looking more closely at it than before.

"Wait a second.." yoongi said

"I've seen you before."

Jimin looked confused and stayed frozen in yoongis grip,

"Your that boy on the news that everyone's been looking for." said yoongi with a mischievous smile growing on his face.

" The one that went missing recently?!" jin asked also surprised

"Yeah, park... Jimin, was it?" yoongi asked inquisitively

Jimin didn't understand why or how these men knew him but he didn't want to be in this dangerous situation for much longer. he struggles more against Jins grip and asked the shorter man in front of him,

"What do you want?!"

yoongi tilted his head slightly when he answered.

"Well, we WERE here to just take a few pawnable items for ourselves but..." he eyed jimin and smiled 

" It looks like we found something MUCH more valuable." he said.

"Do you know how much your friend Hoseok is desperate to find you? He'd probably pay a fortune for your ransom dollface." yoongi teased while shaking jimins head playfully in his grip. 

Jimin was livid. He wanted to punch this man so hard in the gut and make him take back every word.

"Sorry sweetie, its nothing personal really."  yoongi said while patting jimins cheek. Jimin quickly shook his hand off and glared at him.

"Tie him up and gag him. Lets go." yoongi ordered jin and he complied.

Jimin struggled furiously but Jin was much, much bigger and stronger than him. Jin took a tie from the closet and tied it around Jimins mouth very tightly. He then took two black belts from the closet as well and bound both his wrists behind his back,and his feet together. When he was finished Jin picked up Jimin and threw him over his shoulder. He then started making his way out of the room and down the hallway.

The whole time Jimin was screaming at the top of his lungs and trying to break free of his restraints. Jin had made it all the way down the steps and was headed toward the front door which was wide open with yoongi waving for him to hurry up. Jimin almost gave up all hope when he heard a familiar voice yell loudly from inside the house.

"HEY. WHERE DO YOU THINK YOUR GOING!" 

Jimin looked up to see tae running out towards them with a large baseball bat in his hands. He aimed and landed a big swing on the back of Jins legs which made his knees buckle and he fell to the floor. Jimin also consequently fell to the floor and felt disoriented due to the fall. It took him a second to focus his vision again but when he did, he saw the two robbers on the floor knocked out with tae standing over them breathing very heavily.

Immediately tae rushed over to jimin and undid his mouth gag,

"Are you alright?" he asked apologetically

"yeah." Jimin answered, relieved that the worst was over.

Tae undid jimins hands and feet and helped sit him up. tae looked into jimins eyes and quickly pulled him in for hug. Jimin was a bit surprised but he let tae hug him nonetheless. Tae started to say, 

"I'm so sorry Jimin. I'm so-"

*WHACK!*

Before he could finish what he was saying Tae slumped own onto the floor unconscious. Jimin stared at his unmoving body in horror when he looked up and saw yoongi standing over them holding the baseball bat Tae was using earlier. He had some how regained consciousness and taken revenge on Tae. 

"This isn't over yet!" yoongi yelled angrily. "Your coming with me!"

jimin stood up and decided he wasn't going to give up without a fight.

"Like Hell I Am!!" Jimin yelled back.

Yoongi lifted the bat to try and swing at Jimin but jimin lunged at yoongi first and grabbed his arm before he could swing. Jimin twisted Yoongis wrist which made him yell in pain and drop the bat on the ground. Jimin swiftly then tackled yoongi to the ground and pinned him down on the floor. 

"This is for insulting my friend!" jimin said and he punched the man so hard in the stomach that he could barely breath and started coughing.

"And this is for calling me Dollface! 

jimin landed his finishing blow and punched Yoongi right in the face, instantly knocking him out. He let out a huge sigh of relief and stood up off of the man. He looked around at all the damage that had been done and he could barely believe it. While he was looking around at the scene he noticed the door was still open and unlocked. A smile came upon his face and he realized that he could finally escape. He could finally be free! He immediately started making his way towards the door when he remembered what had happened and stopped.He turned around to see that Tae was still lying on the floor unconscious and was even bleeding on the floor. Jimin clenched his fists tight and hated himself for what he was thinking.

"Are you INSANE Jimin?!'" he thought to himself

"This is your chance! You can finally leave and be free. You can go see Hoseok again!"

he continued debating with himself for another few seconds before he put his head down and sighed. He walked towards the door and very slowly, took the handle and closed it. He let out a deep sigh and said to himself.

"I'm definitely going to regret this."

Chapter Text

"Rise and Shine!"

Were the first words Yoongi and Jin heard when they started waking up. But before they could even open their eyes to see who it was that was talking, they were abruptly shocked in the nape of their necks. Now the two robbers were both wide awake.

"WHAT THE FUCK!" Yoongi yelled in a harsh and angry tone

" WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" Jin asked just as angry

Now that they were 'properly' awake, the two looked around and noticed they were in unfamiliar territory. It seemed that they were in a small room with concrete walls with no windows, and only a bed and a side table. It was yoongi who realized first however that he didn't have full use of his limbs. He looked down and noticed that he was tied up back to back with his accomplice, Jin. The two were seated on wooden chairs and both their hands were bound behind their backs while their feet were tied together as well with thick rope. Both the men were confused until they heard the same voice from earlier speak again.

"I'm glad to see your both finally awake..."

Yoongi and Jin both looked up to see a familiar looking face with pink hair standing in front of them, holdind a tazer in one hand and wearing a confident smile.

"That means it shouldn't be a problem for you to start talking." Jimin said quite aggressivly

"What the hell is going on?! Why are we tied up like this? Where are we? And what are YOU doing here?!" jin started firing angry questions at Jimin one after another.

"None of that is important right now. Whats IS important, is that you two answer MY questions without causing any problems." Jimin said sassily enough to get Jin to quit throwing out questions for the moment.

"And why the hell would we do that?" Yoongi jumped into the conversation aggressively. He challenged Jimin with that expressionless look he wore earlier when they were talking for the first time.

Jimin paused for a moment, and then he and put one hand on the backrest of his chair and leaned in real close to yoongi's face.

"Because if you don't..." Jimin began,

"You wont ever see the light of day again." waving the tzer in front of his face

Yoongi furrowed his eyebrows and gave a nasty look to jimin.

"listen... I'm sure no one is going to miss a couple of no good robbers if they go missing. Heck, i'll probably be doing society a FAVOR by keeping you both here for the rest of your sorry lives." Jimin continued.

" WHAT THE HELL DID U JUST SAY?!" Jin Yelled at Jimin. He was pulling at the ropes and getting riled up from hearing Jimins degrading words.

"YOU BETTER SHUT THE FUCK UP BEFORE I-"

"JIN CALM DOWN!" Yoongi suddenly cut in and silenced Jin almost immediately. Jin seemed confused and a little upset that Yoongi had yelled at him.

"What?!But Yoongi he-" Jin tried to argue but Yoongi refused to hear it.

"Just be quiet will ya?" He further ordered 

Jimin Was surprised by yoongis words to Jin, but he still didn't let them know know that. He kept his bad cop facade on in front of the two men. After yoongi finished ordering Jin to keep quiet, he turned and looked at Jimin with a sort of exhausted and impatient look on his face. He began to speak to Jimin and said,

"listen kid... I don't really have the luxury, or the time to be arguing and going around in circles with you alright? So lets just get this over with and ask me what you need to ask me and we can get on with our unfortunate lives."

Jimin was relieved that Yoongi agreed to answer his questions but for some reason, he still felt defeated. It was like even though he had the upper hand, he felt like Yoongi was still somehow in charge, and that just annoyed him even more. But jimin Didn't have time to be annoyed, he needed these answers now.

"That's fine with me." said Jimin

"Okay first question, who exactly are you guys?" He asked while furrowing his brows in curiosity

yoongi took a breath and then started answering,

" The names yoongi, and the guy tied up with me, well that's Jin. And its just like you said, Were just a couple of 'no-good robbers' stealing things for our own benefit. Simple as that." said yoongi, still as expressionless as ever.

"hmm..." Jimin said while giving the two a very cautious look. He crossed his arms in front of him and asked,

" Well what were you doing here? What made you decide to rob this house?"

"Well to be honest, we didn't even plan to come here in the first place." said yoongi 

Jimin looked confused an waited for Yoongi to explain further

" We were planning to rob a different house, but my GENIUS partner over here wasn't paying attention and read the address wrong. That's how we ended up here in this empty neighborhood." yoongi explained.

"HEY! That wasn't my fault. If you hadn't been yelling at me, I would have read it just fine!" Jin retorted from behind yoongis back.

"Whatever, of course it would be just our luck to end up breaking into his place." Yoongi said with a sigh

Jimin had caught the exasperated tone in his voice and wondered what he meant.

"What do mean by 'his place ? '" Jimin asked with an intrigued look in his eye.

Jin was the first to speak this time and he said in an annoyed tone,

"There's a reason no one lives around here, and why robbers like us don't come near this house."

"When you say 'his ', are you talking about..." jimin started saying when yoongi cut in."

"That's right. Your little friend out there that almost knocked our brains out." He said with a look of anger. He clicked his tounge and continued talking

"Hes known in our community as someone you don't mess with under any circumstances. A lot of our colleagues would attempt to break in, only to come out traumatized a few days later. They spoke horror stories about being kept 'prisoners' and being 'relentlessly tortured' by him. Some could barely even make out complete words when they came back." 

Jimin was taken back by what yoongi was telling him, he imagined men being held captive in the same room he had been and being tortured just a he had. Although in the back of his mind, he somewhat doubted the truth of Yoongis words. Even though he had gone through the exact same experiences that the men yoongi was talking about had, he still wasn't as shaken up as they were made out to be. Yes, he had been embarrassed and humiliated by Tae on more than one occasion but, he was never seriously injured like those men were. Tae could be Scary at times but he wasn't relentless. 

Jimin thought to himself until he snapped back to the situation at hand when yoongi asked him directly,

"What I'm wondering though, is why your here and still so...in tact?"  A sly smile forming on his face as he spoke

jimin gave a hard glare to yoongi, knowing he was trying to make the situation more uncomfortable by putting the pressure on him. He wasn't going to give in though. He simply gave a big smile back and retaliated by saying

"Well first off, I'm not some lowlife robber like the rest of you." he said as he slowly paced around the both of them, arms crossed in front of him.

"Secondly, I'm the one asking the questions here, not you. So don't get cocky."

Although he didn't look it, jimin could be aggressive when he needed to. Years of dealing with bullies helped him with that. He had thick skin and was grateful that he did in that moment.

"listen, I'm just trying to tell you the truth. You seem like a nice kid, but believe me when I say that Kim Taehyung is a psychopath." Yoongi stated bluntly.

"I heard from someone else that he was actually abused as a kid." Jin added

Jimin unfolded his arms and stopped to look at jin when he said this. This was new information to him he wasn't aware about. he spoke up and said a little shocked,

"Wait, wait, wait, what?

"Yeah, Apparently his stepdad had a little bit too much fun with him when he was a kid or some perverted shit like that if you know what I mean. Hell, if my dad pulled some shit like that when I was a kid I'm sure id be fucked up in the head too." 

"Oh my god..." jimin mubled under his breath to himself

" 'Oh my god' is right." yoongi stated

"That's exactly why we need to go and get the hell out of here!" He had raised his voice now, quickly losing his patience with the conversation and being tied up.

"look, we answered your questions, now let us go. You can escape too, we wont try to take you again. Let's all just get out of here while we still can!" Yoongi said looking more anxious now than before.

jimin stayed silent for a moment, thinking about what yoongi had said and then he spoke again,

"No."

yoongis face went pale. He wasn't expecting that as an answer. He started to panick and pull at his restraints. Jin did the same as well.

"NO?? WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO?!" Yoongi yelled at Jimin.

"I have a better idea." Jimin calmly answered, unphased by their yelling.

"Your going to wait here while I go take care of some things I need to handle." 

Jin was furious and screamed at jimin 

"YOU BASTARD!" he was struggling hard against the wropes around his hands.

"NO you need to let us out of here!" Yoongi angrily demanded.

Jimin walked over to the nightstand next to the bed in the corner of the room and pulled out what looked like cloth and duck tape. He then walked back over to the two men and stood in front of yoongi first.

"What the hell do you think you going to do with that?" Yoongi asked bitterly .

" I just need to make sure you'll keep it down while I'm gone." jimin said indifferently.

he pulled out one of the cloths and looked towards yoongi, grabbing his chin firmly.

"GET AWAY FROM ME YOU MOTHERF-" Yoongi yelled before the cloth was stuffed in his mouth.

"mhm!" yoongi made muffled struggling noises as jimin smoothed the tape over his mouth.

Jimin did the same to Jin who ever so kindly told him to 'go to hell ' before he stuffed the cloth in and taped his mouth shut as well. When he finished he simply stood up and said to the two,

"I'll be back."

He then turned around and started walking towards the metal door, leaving Yoongi and Jin struggling and yelling in the middle of the room. Jimin needed to figure out the truth. He needed to find the answers for himself.

And he knew exactly what he needed to do to get them.

Chapter Text

"tsk tsk, look how naughty you've been taehyung." 

tae could hear the sound of a familiar voice but he couldn't seem to open his eyes. He was stuck in complete darkness.

"You've been a very naughty boy haven't you? Now daddy has to teach you another lesson again." 

Tae tried to wake up, to move, to do ANYTHING, but it was like he was paralyzed in a nightmare.

"No, No please! Daddy I'm sorry! Not again, Please not again! 

Tae tried screaming and pleading but it was as if none of his words were coming out. 

"Now, now, tae, I'm only doing this because I love you."  the man said softly 

"Stop no! D-don't touch me... DON'T TOUCH ME!!!"  

'hey.. Tae.."

Tae heard a different voice calling him faintly from somewhere else, but he was still to panicked and kept struggling in his nightmare.

"Tae... wake up its me... TAE!"

Tae suddenly woke up due to the loud calling of his name and was pulled from the darkness still screaming.

"AHHH DON'T TOUCH ME!!! STOP NO, DONT TOUCH ME!!!"

"TAEHYUNG calm down! Its me, its JIMIN!" 

When he heard jimins name, Tae immediately stopped and slowly started to open his eyes, pulling himself back to reality. He looked around and saw a hazy figure next to him.

"Are you alright? It looked like you were having a nightmare." said the figure 

"J-jimin?... is that really you" Tae mumbled trying to make out the figures face. he tried to sit up and take a closer look but realized he didn't have control of his arms. they were stuck in a position above his head.

"Try not to move too much, you got hit pretty badly on the back of your head." Jimin warned him 

Tae started to fully regain his vision and could make out jimins face properly. He was sitting beside him on what seemed like a bed that he was lying down on. Tae then looked up and saw that his wrists had been tied, not too tightly but just enough so he couldn't get up, above his head. After he noticed this he lookd back at jimin very confused.

"Well... It looks like I don't have much of a choice." tae said as he tugged a little at his restraints again.

He winced in pain though, finally feeling the throbbing pain at the back of his head for the first time. Jimin saw this and immediately pressed a cool wet towel to his forehead.

" Shh... don't move you'll make your injury worse." he said while gently patting Taes forehead with the towel.

"I.. I-I just...well its because you..." Jimin fumbled around with his words trying to find a nice way to explain the situation. He became sheepish and just lowered his head at his loss of words.

"I get it." Tae said surprisingly. Jimin looked up hesitantly at Tae.

"You still don't trust me huh?" Tae asked. Jimin stayed silent which only further answered Taes question. He sighed and said,

"well, that's fine then. Whatever makes You feel comfortable around me." Tae had a serious and understanding face when he spoke which made Jimin feel some type of way he couldn't explain. He had expected Tae to go crazy again and lash out but, he didn't expect him to be so... understanding.

"How are you feeling, are you in any pain?" Jimin asked sheepishly. He wasn't used to talking to Tae like this but somehow, it just came out naturally.

"A little but, I'll live" He said cooly. He then looked at jimin and asked,

"What about those two guys that tried to take you? What happened to them?"  

Jimin let out a small smirk and said

"Oh don't worry about them, I've got it handled."

Tae looked at Jimin with questionable eyes at first and wanted to ask further, but decided to just trust him and let it go. Although, he did have one question that was plaguing his conscience that he just had to ask.

"Jimin..." Tae said. Jimin looked at him, intrigued by what he was goin to say.

" yes?" he answered

"Don't take this the wrong way but... why are you here?" Tae asked with a confused look on his face

It took Jimin a few seconds before he processed the question and sat up straight, taken aback by the suddenness of it. Tae went on and asked

"After I was knocked unconscious, I was sure that you would take the chance and leave. So what are you doing here still?"  

Jimin was silent for a moment after he asked the question and didn't move at all. He looked down at the towel in his hands as he mustered up the right words to say. When he did he finally turned back towards Tae and said,

"Honestly, I don't know what I'm doing here." Tae was silent and listened as Jimin went on, speaking more passionately.

"I should have left the moment I had the chance. I keep telling myself that I should have walked out the door the moment I could. I keep wracking my brain over and over for reasons to explain why I'm still in this god forsaken house and above all else... why I was still thinking about you."

Jimin locked eyes with Tae as he said this which made the tension in the room only grow. 

"I realized I couldn't leave without understanding why It was so hard for me to go. I knew I needed to confront these confusing feelings first. I.. guess that's what I'm trying to do right now." Jimin said 

it took a moment before Tae took a small breath and asked Jimin,

" Well, have you found your answer?" He asked hesitantly. It was hard to describe but, the look on Taes face looked very pained. As if he was already expecting an answer that he knew he wouldn't like. He looked at Jimin and waited for his answer. 

" I think so but, theres one thing I need you to answer for me to be sure." Said Jimin.

"And Whats that?" Tae asked looking curious. Jimin looked down at the floor and said quietly,

"I-I heard about your father." 

At that moment Taes whole demeanor changed. His face went pale and his heart rate started increasing. He tensed against the ropes around his wrists instinctively as his breaths got shorter and quicker.

"I know there's probably no easy way to bring this up but...Tae, be honest with me did he-" Jimin started to say when Tae cut him off 

"M-My father? How do you know about my father?"  Tae was flustered and clearly nervous at the sound of the word.

"Listen to me," Jimin persisted "Did he do anything that made you... uncomfortable?"

Tae lowered his eyes and started shaking his head. "No. " he said quickly. Jimin could see the struggle in his eyes of trying to convince himself with his own words.

"Tae..." Jimin said softly

"I don't know what you heard, but your wrong." Tae angrily detested 

"Its okay, you can tell me the truth." Jimin encouraged him but Tae was adamant still,

"He loved me. He only did those things because he loved me. He loved me..." He kept repeating 

"Tae, did he touch you?" Jimin finally confronted him

"NO! I know what your thinking but your wrong!. That's how he loved me!" Tae yelled

"By touching you, kissing you, hitting you?! That's not love, that's abuse!" Jimin argued trying to make him understand.

"THATS NOT TRUE, YOUR WRONG, YOUR WRONG! If I got hurt it was because I was being a bad boy, it was my fault not his! Even if he did something that made me feel weird he said it was out of love, and I believed him! I believed him..."

Jimin could see Taes eyes start to water as he kept speaking, trying to make sense of it all.

"I believed him when said he loved me. I believed him when he said kissing each other like that was normal. I believed him when he touched me in weird places and said it was fine. I believed him when he hit me until my whole body was bruised and said 'I deserved it'. I believed him when he said he would be back. I believed him, I believed him, I BELIEVED HIM! SO WHY DID HE LEAVE ME?!"

The tears ran down Taes cheeks as he cried. He kept shaking his head back and forth as if trying to shake the painful memories away. 

"WHY, WHY DID HE LEAVE JIMIN?! tell me why he did all those horrible things to me and vanished out of nowhere! He said he loved me! I thought he loved me! Was I not good enough?! Was I not good enough for my own Father to even love me?! I Don't understand.. I don't get it! He said he loved me... I just wanted him to love me..." Tae said breaking down into more tears.

At this point Jimin couldn't take seeing Tae in such a sad state any longer and placed his hand on Taes cheek to turn his face towards his. Tae opened up his tear filled eyes and looked up at jimin.

"What your father did to you wasn't real love." jimin said with a serious look on his face

"Someone who really loved you wouldn’t  do those things to you, especially when you were so young. someone who really loved you wouldn't hurt you, punish you, or try to take advantage of you. Everything he did to you was to manipulate your feelings and get you to do everything he said. He didn't love you Tae, He was just using you."

Tae didn't know what to say. He stared into Jimins eyes for a few moments before he decided to speak again.

"Even if your right..." He slowly said

"His type of love is all I've ever known. I'm not sure I can ever change that part of myself." He said despairingly. Jimin wiped the tears from Taes cheek and said,

" Of course you can." He said comforting the boy

" And you know why?" Jimin asked Tae. Tae looked at jimin curiously and listened when he said,

"Because ive decided I'm going to help you." Jimin said with a small smile.

"What?" Tae said still sniffling a little from crying a lot earlier.

" I still haven't figured out these feelings that are holding me back with you, and you really need someone to lean on right now so I figured, we should help each other out Don't you think?" 

Tae was surprised by the sudden proposal but quickly smiled and nodded in agreement.

"So How do you plan on helping me learn how to love properly and figure out your feelings for me too?" tae asked

"hmmm I hadn't thought that far yet." jimin said honestly

Tae then suddenly had and idea and a mischievous smile grew on his face.

"kiss me." he said suddenly

Jimins eyes grew wide with shock and his mouth gaped open as well.

"excuse me?!" Jimin asked sassily

"Ive never had someone else kiss me first besides my father and you've never once initiated the kiss. I think it would be a good pace to start." Tae said wholeheartedly.

"No way." Jimin immediately declined

"Were you lying then about helping me?" Tae asked looking like a hurt puppy to Jimin.

"Of course not." Jimin stated firmly

"Then prove it. kiss me."

It seemed like Jimin had been yet again forced into a corner, even when Tae was the one tied up. He knew it would just get worse if he kept denying tae so he reluctantly complied.

Jimin scooted closer so that he was sitting very close to Tae on the bed. He placed one hand on each side of his body and looked down at Taes face. When their eyes met Jimins cheeks blushed without his consent and he quickly averted his gaze  embarrassed. He gripped the bed sheets tight in his hands and forced himself to pull it together. He confidently looked at Tae in the eyes once more and leaned in slowly until finally their lips touched.

It was a nice soft kiss where the two simply pressed their lips together and shared in each others warmth. Tae was the first one to take more action and slowly slip his tounge into Jimins mouth. Jimin let out small breathy moans as tae intertwined their tounges in the kiss. Jimin got unexpectedly excited and let out a loud moan when Tae bit his bottom lip and gently pulled on it. At this point Tae was getting excited as well and said

"Untie my hands." Almost commanding him.

Even to his own surprise Jimin listened to Tae and untied his hands from the headboard of the bed. Tae brought his hands down to hold Jimins face and run his hands through his hair. Tae then getting more aggressive sat up and lifted jimin so that he was straddling his hips. They continued kissing in this position for a while until Taes aggressiveness overwhelmed him and he flipped Jimin over onto his back and was hovering over him.

”Ah!” Jimin yelled out in surprise. He had forgotten just how strong he was. He let breathy moans escape when Tae slid his hands under his shirt while placing soft kisses on his neck. Jimin hated to admit it but Tae knew what he was doing in bed. He lifted his arms up to run his hands through Taes brunette hair when he heard Tae whimper in pain,

” ahh!” 

Jimin stopped and cupped his hands around Taes face to see what was wrong.

”what’s wrong?” he asked

” my head...” Tae answered back weakly

”oh my god I’m so sorry I forgot...” JIMIN immediately remembered his injury and apologized. 

“Let’s stop for right now. I don’t want to aggravate your injuries.” Jimin suggested

Tae looked a little disappointed but the pain in his head made him agree with Jimin. Tae crawled off of jimin and sat beside him on the bed with his knees tucked into his chest. Jimin sat up and ran his hand through his hair, still a little flustered from how much he enjoyed what just happened. 

“Uh... I’m gonna go get some water.”

Jimin said as he started climbing out of the bed. He was about to stand up when he felt Taes hand grab his wrist. He looked back and saw Tae looking at him nervously. He didn’t say anything but he squeezed Jimins wrists a little letting him know he was scared.

”Don’t worry i’ll be right back. I’m not going anywhere.” Jimin smiles and said reassuring Tae.

Taes expression softened a little when he heard his words and he pulled Jimin in close for a hug. Tae placed a kiss on his forehead ands said,

”Thank you.” 

Jimin smiled and when Tae finally let him go he walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. Once he was out of Taes sight he immediately started blushing and slid down the door onto the ground.

This Situation was way more dangerous than he had anticipated.

Chapter Text

Now that the circumstances had changed, Jimin felt awkward and was constantly tip toeing around taehyung in the house. He would peek around the corners of the walls to see if Tae was anywhere in sight before he walked into the room. The reason for this was partially due to the fact that he didn’t really know what to say to him, and partially because... he didn’t trust himself.

Ever since he had kissed Tae that one time in his room, Jimin was frightened by his own lack of restraint. Without even thinking, whenever he saw Tae doing something around the house, whether it be cooking or cleaning or just relaxing on the couch, he couldn’t help but remember that time. He would absentmindedly remember how Tae ran his hands through his hair and tugged on his lip while they kissed. It was too much for him to handle.

So now here he was, sneaking around the house, trying Hopelessly not to get aroused at the sight of Tae. He was almost succeeding until one day he walked into the living room, still groggy from a recent nap, and rubbed his eyes to see Tae lazing on the couch watching TV.

”Ah Jimin! Your awake.” Tae said surprised looking over at a still sleepy Jimin shuffle into the room.

”Oh- I’m sorry I didn’t see you watching the TV, I’ll get out of your way...” Jimin said as he tried to turn around and bolt back upstairs before Tae called out to him and said,

”uh-uh! Come over and sit with me!” Tae said excitedly, obviously not taking the hint.

Jimin let out a quiet sigh of defeat and walked over to sit next to Tae on the couch. At first he tried to sit as far away as he could from Tae to keep any sudden ‘urges’ from arising in him. But Tae noticed his distance and said

”why are you so far away? Come here.” He waved his hand motioning for him to scoot closer.

Jimin only scooted about 3 inches closer until Tae had had enough of his games and pulled him over himself.

”ah!“ Jimin let out a gasp of surprise

He was now cradled in Taes side with his head resting on his chest and Taes arm draped over his shoulders pulling him in tighter to his body. His heartbeat was skyrocketing at an alarming rate and he prayed that Tae couldn’t feel it.

”There, that’s better.” Tae said nonchalantly while smiling and focusing back on the TV.

” I feel like I never get to see you even when we live in the same house!” He complained with a little pouty look on his face. Jimin saw him do this and immediately had to look away, it was a big weakness of his.

Tae always acted so innocent and childlike. He loved getting all of jimins attention for himself and loved teasing him left and right. Seeing his plump cheeks turn red at the sound of his teasing made Tae beyond giddy. Jimin on the other hand, thought it was dangerous. It was dangerous how adorable he thought his childlike tendencies were, and how much they attracted him.

”Your being so dramatic. I see you all the time.” Jimin argued trying to calm down And act indifferent.

”Liar. You don’t even look me in the eyes anymore.” Tae continued to whine

Of course he didn’t. If Jimin looked straight into taehyung’s big brown doe eyes, it would mean instant death. He had to look away or else his confusing emotions would wash over him and drown him all over again.

”Oh stop being such a baby.” Jimin said while trying to push his body away from Taes. 

Taehyung however was stubborn and wouldn’t give in. He pulled Jimin in even tighter so that he was close enough to whisper softly in his ear.

”oh but you don’t really mean that. You like it when I’m a brat, don’t you Minnie ?”

Jimins breath hitched in his throat when he heard Taehyungs voice change to the low raspy one he likes to use when he wants to tease him. He shut his eyes and bit his bottom lip when he felt Taes soft lips graze over the top of his ear, placing small kisses all around.

Jimin squirmed in his seat at Teas teasing and was so close to just giving into his temptations. However he stayed strong and put up a hand to Taes lips and looked at him with a serious face as he said,

”Nice try, but no one likes a whiny brat.” Jimin retaliated.

Tae just smiled and laughed and said under his breath

”yeah, except for you.”

Jimin heard this and was about to start arguing again when Tae just pulled him in close and continued snuggling him while they watched the TV.

The two ended up watching a few episodes of some random reruns when Tae spoke up and asked Jimin a question.

“Hey Jimin?”

”hm?” Jimin hummed in his comfy position

”I’m just curious but, what are you going to do with those two downstairs.”

Tae asked referring to the robbers Jimin had detained. Jimin gave it a second before he answered back honestly,

“To tell you the truth I’m not sure.” He answered

”I hadn’t really thought that far ahead, I just knew I couldn’t let them go at the time.” 

Tae let Jimin sit up straight so they could talk easier face to face. Tae looked to Jimin and said

”It’s already been a few days, maybe we should think about how to get rid of them.” He suggested seriously.

”Well I’m not killing them. That’s definetley out of the question.” Jimin quickly stated taking the situation immediately to the extreme ,

”Well of course were no going to kill them sweetie, don't be silly. But we cant just let them go so easily. We need a way to make sure they keep quiet about us keeping them here.” He confessed.

Tae looked just as stumped as Jimin until an idea popped into his head and a smile appeared on his face. Jimin noticed him do this and asked curiously

”what? What are you thinking?”

”I have an idea. But I'm not sure how you'll feel about it.” He said, eyes wary

Jimin was wary of what Tae had in store but he still wanted to hear him out and learn what his idea was. He remained quiet, urging Tae to go on.

”I know exactly how to make guys like them keep quiet. I had to deal with it a lot before you came along. If you want I can help keep them quiet.”

Jimins eyebrow lifted at the sound of Taes offer. 

“Really?” Jimin asked intrigued 

“yes.” Tae said cooly but then unexpectedly went on,

”Only on one condition though.”

Jimin furrowed his brows and tilted his head in confusion. He wondered what the condition was that Tae was talking about.

“And what’s that?” He asked

Tae smirked and leaned in close so he was only a few inches from his face. He tilted his head and simply said

”Watch me.” 

 Jimin followed Taehyung down the steps to the basement room where he had kept the two robbers for the past few days. Coincidentally it also happened to be the same room Tae had kept him in when he was first kidnapped. He let out a small sigh at how things really had gone full circle. 

When they opened the door the image of the two men was almost unrecognizable. The two fiery and aggressive men from before looked completely drained and lifeless as they sat, still bound to the same chairs in the middle of the room. Jins head hung low and looked as if he were passed out while yoongi's eyelids fluttered, trying to hold onto conciousness. 

"Hmm.. I thought they'd look worse by now." Tae said casually aloud.

Yoongi's looked up to see both Tae and jimin standing at the doorway. Immediately it was as if he had his second wind and the anger inside him supplied his energy.

"What the fuck do you two want?" Yoongi's asked angrily.

Hearing the familiar sound of yoongi's voice, Jin started to Bob his head up from it's slumped position and notice what was going on.

"Whats going on yoongi?" Jin slurred in his half concious state.

Tae spoke authoritatively and said,

"Well we just wanted to check in on you and see how you guys were doing." 

He looked the two up and down degradingly.

"Seems like your holding up fairly well. Don't you think so too Jimin?"

"Just watch and follow my lead. If I ask you a question, just nod and agree. Got it?"

Jimin remembered Taes instructions and followed accordingly.

"Yeah they look better than expected."

Tae smiled at him and then quickly turned his attention back to the two.

"Right? I think they look a little too good actually."

Yoongi and jins faces grimaced at the sound of taes words. They didn't like where tae was going with this.

"I think our guests need a bit more incentive to repent for their actions. Wouldn't you agree?"

Jimin also wasn't completely sure what tae was thinking but he followed along as he was told and nodded in agreement. It was easy to listen to tae when he acted this way, When he took control and dominated the space in the room.

Tae walked over to yoongi and grabbed his jaw in his hand, pulling his face up to see him snarling back at him.

"What do you say? I'll go easy on you if you submit quickly." He said with a sweet smile on his face

Immediately Jin yelled out in protest and said,

"Why don't you and your boyfriend go suck each other off in hell!" 

Taes eyes darkened and shot over to glare at Jin. He let go of yoongi's jaw and walked over to Jin. He bent over and forcibly yanked Jins head up by his hair, making him wince in pain.

"I think we'll start with you first." Said Tae

Jimin couldn't believe his eyes. It was such a shock for him to see tae being so aggressive towards someone else besides him. It was so vastly different from the usual cheerful self that he had come to know. Jimin had gotten lost in his thoughts until he hear tae call out to him suddenly,

"Jimin, Bring that chair over to the bed please."

He nodded slowly and walked over the the chair in the corner of the room and carried it over to the side of the bed. He looked back at tae when he finished the task and heard him say,

"Good, Now take a seat and just watch like I said."

He smiled but had a glare of aggressiveness in his eyes that made jimin a bit nervous. He slowly sat down in the chair and did as he was told. After that Tae turned back to Jin and without another word he started dragging him by his hair to the bed without warning.

"Ahhhh!" He cried out in pain as his body was dragged by his hair only.

Yoongi tried to look around to see what was happening to Jin angrily and yelled,

"Get your fucking hands off him!" 

Tae simply ignored their yelling and started untying Jin from the chair. Jin struggled to run from tae but his limbs were weak and unresponsive from being tied in the same position for so long. Tae held him down on the bed as he tied both his hands and feet to the bed posts. Jin continued to cry out in resilliance and yelled,

"Get off me, let me go!"

Tae grabbed jin by the tightly by the throat and said,

"You talk way too much. I think we need to fix that." 

Tae then reached down under the bed to pull out the duffel bag he had used on jimin before. He pulled out a familiar looking object that Jimin recognized immediately.

"Say 'ah'!" Tae teased before shoving the red ball gag into his mouth. 

"Mffmff!" Jin let out muffled cries as Tae secured the gag behind his head.

" There, now I can hear myself think clearly again." He said sarcastically.

Then tae started tracing his finger down Jins body all the way from his neck down to the buttons on his pants.

"Now I think we can properly get started."

Tae started unbuttoning Jins pants and pulled them down to his ankles along with his boxers, leaving his lower half completely exposed. Jin struggled against the ropes helplessly as tae took out something else from his bag. 

"This is a fun little toy of mine. I think you'll like it." Tae said as he held up a small vibrator in his hand tauntingly.

Jins eyes widened in horror and he cursed tae out even though the gag muffled most of his words. Tae held up a finger to his mouth and made a shushing sound to "calm" him down teasingly. But without warning Tae forced the vibrator into his hole without any prep which made Jin spasm in pain as tears started to fill his eyes. 

When Tae flipped the switch to turn the vibrator on, jins tears wouldn't stop flowing. The low hum of the vibrations stimulated the sensitive nerves inside him, but didn't provide enough for him to fully climax. So he stayed in a constant state of agony as the toy teased his insides. 

"There, that should keep you occupied for a few hours." Tae said as he winked at Jin and stood up from the bed. 

Jin let out wimpers of pain as his hard dick twitched against his stomach, unable to release. Tae smirked and turned around to now face in yoongi's direction. Yoongi was struggling in his chair as tae made his way over to him slowly.

"My my, look how impatient you are. Don't worry, I didn't forget about you." Tae said as he chrouched down to talk to Yoongi face to face.

Yoongi glared at Tae through fiery eyes and said coldly,

"Your psychotic." Tae simply smiled and said back,

"That might be true...but at least I'm not the bitch tied to a chair."

Yoongi was infuriated by taes comment and spat directly in face. Tae frowned and slowly wiped the spit off his cheek. He looked at the residue on his hand and then glared back at yoongi. He stood up and did the same as he Did with Jin and dragged yoongi by his hair towards the wall.

Unlike Jin however yoongi didn't make much noise, he had too much pride at stake. He only grunted when Tae slammed his body against the wall and started chaining him up. He cuffed both his hands and feet to the wall so he was standing spread out like an x. Then tae placed a metal cuff around his neck to keep him completely bound to the wall.

"There, you look much better like this." Tae hummed while admiring his work .

Yoongi just glared at Tae furiously. Tae noticed this and walked closer to tilt his chin up with his finger. He spoke and said,

"Unlike your friend, you don't seem to talk as much. I have something perfect just for you." Tae said rubbing his thumb over yoongi's bottom lip.

Tae then walked over to the duffel bag and brought it over to yoongi, casually giving Jin a wink as he continued to twitch in pain. Tae put the bag down and pulled out a gag that looked like it was in the shape of a ring. Tae brought it up to his face when yoongi suddenly spoke out,

"Fuck you." He said coldly

Tae wasted no time after his comment and grabbed yoongi by the chin and shoved the ring gag into his mouth.

"Not yet. You can talk as much as you want after I put this on."

The gag left yoongi's mouth completely wide open while his tounge moved around aimlessly searching for a comfortable position with no luck. Tae tightened and secured his gag behind his head and then stepped back and asked mischeviously,

"Does that feel alright?" 

Yoongi's first reaction was to cuss him out but when he tried he could only make out loud moans. His face turned red out of embarrassment at the sounds that he was making. Even his breathing was loud in the room and he had no control of it. 

"I knew it. Your voice sounds nice like that. Make more noise for me baby."

Tae traveled down to yoongi's pants and started sliding them all the way down his legs, leaving him exposed.

"How cute it's fun size." Tae teased as he played with the tip of Yoongis dick, only rubbing the slit.

Yoongi had no control and aroused moans escaped his mouth.Tae then reached back into the bag and pulled out something that resembled a small cage.

"I bet this would look pretty around your little cock." Tae said as held up the cock cage.

Tae then smirked and locked the cage tightly around his length. Yoongi moaned in pain as the metal bars of the case restricted him from becoming fully erect. 

Tae smiled and stood up so he was face to face with yoongi. Yoongi was still adamant about holding his ground and not letting tae get the best of him. He glared at Tae and tugged at his restraints. Tae simply smiled sadistically and ignored his attempts at resistance.

"Look at you, your already drooling and it hasn't even been five minutes. Your actually a pretty slutty boy aren't you?" Tae cooed.

He took two fingers and slipped them in his mouth and started feeling around on yoongi's tounge. He smirked at how yoongi moaned and squirmed his body around at his touch. He let the drool string out as he pulled his fingers from his mouth and moved to play with his nipples under his shirt.

The whole time Jimin sat and watched as tae toyed around with their bodies. He was shocked to see how easily he dominated others besides just him. He watched as tae played with their bodies and their emotions, wearing them down until they were putty in his hands. He was so domineering, so intimidating, so...fucking attractive.

Jimin was so entranced by this side of tae that he didn't even notice how his own body was reacting. He felt an uncomfortable throbbing in his pants as his dick started to get hard. He squirmed uncomfortably in his seat, he really wanted to touch himself and get some relief but he was too embarrassed in front of the others, including tae. 

It was only when an unexpected moan escaped jimins mouth that tae snapped out of his sadistic state and gave his attention to him. He looked over and noticed Jimin sitting in an akward position as he tried to cover his erection with his hands. He immediately looked apologetic and wanted to give all his attention to him. Tae had a soft spot for jimin, no matter what situation he was in.

He quickly finished up messing around and teasing yoongi and inserted a small vibrator into his ass to help keep him "occupied" for the time being.

"Keep that in for me while I'm gone, baby boy." He said as he stood up and traced a finger over his collar bone. He left yoongi struggling in pain as he walked over to Jimin.

 "What's wrong sweetie? You don't like what I'm doing? Should I stop?" Tae said as he used his finger to lift jimins face up to look at his. 

Jimins lip quivered since he didn't want to tell the truth and say he was aroused but... he wanted to touch himself, he wanted to come, he wanted Tae to make him come.

"N-no, I w-want..." Jimin tried to make words that only fumbled around in his mouth.

"What is it baby? What do you want?" Tae asked curiously while running his thumb over Jimins bottom lip.

"I-I want y-you..." He stuttered 

Taes eyes widened for a second but then his expression changed to warm and lustful one. Without hesitation He leaned down and kissed jimin on the lips hard. pressing their soft lips together while their tounges intertwined. Jimin was gasping for air when thay pulled apart from the kiss, eyes heavy lidded as he looked back at Tae.

"Tell me what you want me to do baby." Tae said sweetly.

Jimins face blushed, but he was far too strung out now that the words came out on their own.

"M-make me feel good..." He slurred against heavy breaths.

Tae smiled and bent down to scoop jimin up in his arms. He gently pushed the stray hairs out of Jimins eyes and said

"Alright, but remember you asked for this." Tae said, slowly starting to show his dominant side again.

Jimin didn't care. He was too pent up to even keep his eyes fully open. He wrapped his arms around Tars neck and leaned into his chest. He nodded "yes" and tae smirked as he carried him towards the door.

"Where probably going to be a while so I hope your both comfortable." Tae yelled out as he walked. Tae heard the unsatisfied moans and movements from the two behind him as he left, but he didn't care. The only thing important to him now was the person cradled in his arms.

"You better be ready for it, because I'm not going easy on you honey." Tae teased before the door slowly shut behind them. 

Chapter Text

Tae carried jimin up the stairs effortlessly. At first Jimin thought they were headed to his room but was slightly surprised when tae went the opposite direction and walked towards his own room.

Tae opened the door and made his way over to the bed in the middle of the room. Jimin had never seen his room before but from what glimpses he saw, it looked very homely and warm. There were lit candles on the dresser while the inviting colors of burgundy and soft gold completed the ambiance of it all. However his observations didn't last too long since tae set him down on his bed and immediately climbed on top of him.

"Tae I-" jimin started to say before tae swooped down and started placing soft kisses on his neck. Jimin arched his head back and tried hard to suppress his moans as tae caressed his body. Tae slowly worked his way from his collar bone and kissed up his neck and to his jaw until finally locking lips with Jimin.

This kiss felt different though. They were moving through the same motions yet, tae noticed something different with Jimin. He noticed how much more relaxed and needy he was. Jimin was practically latching his arms around his neck and pulling him closer. Tae couldn't believe it...and it only made him want Jimin even more.

Tae pulled away from the kiss and looked into Jimins heavy lidded eyes. He spoke through heavy breathing since the kiss had kept them from doing so. 

"Are you sure you want this?"

He asked looking serious yet still gently caressing the side of his face. Jimin took a second to think before he took a breath and placed his hand over taes that was cupping his cheek,

"I think I know how I feel now. I've figured out that no matter what I do, I'm drawn to you tae." 

Jimin let a small smile appear on his face as he spoke

" I want you. The good and the bad, I want it all. I don't want to run anymore."

Tae couldn't contain his happiness. He buried his face into Jimins neck for a moment and hugged jimin tight. When he came back up he looked at Jimin and said

"Take it. I'll give you my everything."

With that tae placed a soft kiss on jimins lips again. He then started moving his hands down towards jimins lower half. Jimin let out a breathy moan when he felt tae stroke his crotch. 

"Does it hurt here?" Tae asked sympathetically

Jimin quickly nodded and bit his lip.

"Don't worry, I'll make it feel better." Said tae.

Tae then proceeded to unzip Jimins pants and pull them off his legs along with his underwear. Jimin arched his back when tae took his length in his hand and started stroking it slowly. He gripped the bedsheets with one hand along with taes shoulder in the other. 

Tae smiled at jimins cute reaction to his touches and continued placing kisses on his neck and chest. He then moved down his body until his face was near jimins dick. He kissed the tip of his head and glanced up to see his expression. Jimins expression was priceless, his eyes shut tight and his mouth gaped open at taes teasing.

"Your so cute baby. Make more noise for me." Tae said lovingly 

Then without warning he took all of Jimins length in his mouth and started sucking him off. Jimin couldn't hold back any longer and a loud moan escaped his mouth.

"Aah! Fuck!" He said sensually.

Jimin held onto taes hair and moved his hips to his motions. Tae bobbed his head up in down, fully enjoying giving pleasure to jimin. Then out of nowhere he suddenly pulled his mouth away when jimin was about to come. Jimin gave a soft whine when he felt tae stop.

"Now now, be patient baby. Don't get excited all at once." He smirked, his sadistic tendencies starting to show.

"turn over and show me that cute ass of yours honey." He commanded.

Jimin was desperate for taes touch so he easily complied and flipped over so that he was now on all fours.

"Gorgeous." Tae said as he ran his hand down the line on Jimins back. Jimin shivered at his touch.

Tae then leaned over and grabbed a bottle of lube that was placed in his side drawer by the bed. He squeezed out a generous amount on his fingers and placed them around Jimins entrance.

Jimin let out a surprised gasp at the sudden touch. He arched his back as taes fingers manuvered around his entrance. Tae slowly stretched his hole by working his fingers around inside. At first he only used one finger in, which gradually turned into two and then three. 

He pressed around on jimins insides until. He finally hit a spot that made jimin shudder in pleasure and surprise. 

"Oh, so you like it here huh baby?" Tae asked with a smile

All Jimin could manage to reply with in his state was a loud moan followed by a very strung out,

"fuck! Right there.." 

By now jimin had lost the strength in his arms and he let his face lie on the bed while his ass was still up in the air. Tae wasn't complaining though, in fact he loved seeing him so cute and flustered. He rubbed jimins ass for a second before landing a playful smack on his right cheek, making him yelp out in surprise.

"Aah!" Jimin gasped at the suddenness of it.

"You so fucking sexy jimin." Tae said in his deep raspy voice.

He then grabbed jimins hips and positioned them near his. He took off his pants and underwear and threw them on the floor. He placed the head of his dick at jimins entrance and teased him with it.

"What do you want me to do baby?Do you want me to put it in?" He asked jimin as he held his hips in position.

Jimin moaned in anticipation and tried to muster up his words. He was still a little embarrassed given his current position and the way tae teased him yet, he was losing his patience.

"Y-yes.." jimin stuttered

"Yes what?" Tae cooed. 

"Yes.. p-put it in...please..." Jimin managed to slur out.

He couldn't take it anymore, He didn't care that he was being teased mercilessly. He just needed to feel tae inside him as soon as possible.

"There's my good boy." Tae said as he gripped jimins hips tight. He positioned the tip of his dick at jimins entrance and started entering him slowly. Jimin cried out in slight pain at first, but it quickly turned into moans of pleasure as tae rocked his hips into him.

"Its so tight..." Tae exclaimed as he continued rocking his hips slowly.

Tae then leaned forward so that he could reach around and take hold of Jimins dick. It was hard and lots of precum had already seeped out from the tip. Tae took his time and made long strokes while continuing to move his hips into Jimins.

"Oh my god..." Jimin said now even more aroused than before. 

Jimin didn't know what to do with himself. He was so close to climaxing at that point. He wanted to come so bad. He wanted tae to go harder, to take no mercy and pound into him until there was nothing left.

"H-harder.. go harder." Jimin started to say with a shakey voice.

"I..I need to cum...make me cum please..." He practically begged tae with tears in his eyes.

With that tae didn't hesitate any longer. He bucked his hips into taes faster and harder. He let out moans along with Jimin until the two finally climaxed together. Both men were breathing heavy when tae pulled out of Jimin and turned him over so they were facing each other again. He pushed the stray hairs out of Jimins face and said

"I think we made a mess." With a childish grin on his face

Jimin smirked in disbelief at his childish comment. He jokingly hit taes chest with his small fist and said,

"Your not supposed to say that after you have sex with someone!" He had a playful pout on his face.

"Oh really? Sorry. Then how about this.."

Tae said and jimin lifted his eyebrow in curiosity.

"You were perfect." He smiled genuinely then and stroked the side of jimins face.

Jimin was taken aback by his serious and   heartfelt comment that he didn't know what to say. He tried to hide his embarrassed smile and blushed cheeks but tae didn't let him. Tae took his face in his hands and kissed him on the lips. Once they pulled away from the kiss they lied down next to each other while tae hugged jimin in his arms.

Jimin was comfortably nestled in taes chest and was quickly falling asleep when he heard tae say,

"I think I might love you Jimin."

Jimin felt his heart skip a beat when he heard him say this. He felt taes breathing  steady as he fell asleep still wrapping his arms around him. Jimin closed his eyes and whispered under his breath,

"I think I might just love you too." 

Then he quickly fell asleep to the sound of taes steady breathing.

Tae and jimin felt kind of bad that they had forgotten about Jin and yoongi in the basement, but at the same time they didn't really feel that bad at all.

When they had woken up the next morning everything was normal (besides the fact they had just had sex) and they both took showers, got dressed, and headed down stairs.

It was when jimin headed to the kitchen and overheard the sound of crying and moaning that he realized what they'd done. He ran to tae with a guilty look on his face and reminded him of the situation. Tae then shared in his initial shock and they both ran down to the basement door.

"Oh my God I can't believe we left them like that!" Jimin exclaimed

"Shh calm down it's alright. I'm sure they're fine." Tae tried to calm jimin down and explain that everything was okay.

"Are you kidding me?! Listen to them!"

Jimin said as he scooted tae closer to the door to listen better. They heard pained moans and what sounded like tired weeping. Jimin lifted his eyebrow and said,

"See?" 

"Alright alright fine I addmit it, I fucked up." Tae said guiltily.

"But really though I'm sure they're going to be okay. Let's just go in and see." He assured jimin

Jimin nodded agreeingly and followed tae in as he opened the door.

They were wrong.

Jin and suga were in the same positions as tae had left them except it looked like they were both on the verge of passing out. Jin had dried tear stains on his face from crying all night due to the countless times he came from the vibrator. Their was dried come all over his stomach and he was shaking of exhaustion. 

Yoongi also looked terrible. His arms and legs were shaking from standing in such an uncomfortable position all night. Their were dried tears On his cheeks and drool pooling from his mouth and running down his neck from the ring gag as well. It also looked like he was in immense pain from not being able to come all night due to the cage around his dick. 

Tae and jimin looked at each other in shock and then back to the two men. The first thing tae did was shut off the vibrator on yoongi while jimin shut the one off on Jin. The two robbers sighed in relief as the vibrations finally stopped and the vibrators were finally pulled out of them. They then removed the gags off of them and watched as they both let out more sighs of relief. Yoongi looked up at tae with pure exhaustion and said,

"P-please.. no more. We'll do anything you say just don't leave us here again. Please!" Yoongi begged.

He was acting so different than before that tae looked over at Jimin in surprise. Jimin looked just the same when he heard Jin speak up and say,

" Please don't! Please let us go we won't say anything!"

Tae then turned to look at yoongi and said,

"Well it looks like you two had a rough night. So I'm guessing you've learned your lesson?" Tae asked 

"Yes we have. We won't break into your house ever again I promise! Just let us go please!" Yoongi begged without hesitation.

Tae thought He must have had a really hard night to comply so easily.

"Fine. On one condition though." Tae said

Yoongi and Jin listened closely as tae spoke

" You two are to never speak a word of what happened here to anyone. Do you understand?" He pointed at the two who quickly nodded In agreement.

"Also," tae added on

"If I ever see you come around here again and even so happen as to lay a finger on jimin, I will personally reserve an entire week to making your lives ten times more miserable that what happened last night. Do I make myself clear?"

They both nodded immediately, to scared to talk and anger tae even more. 

"Good." Tae said with a smile.

"jimin let's get them untied and send them on their way." Tae said as he looked over at jimin.

Jimin nodded and was about to untie jins arms when he heard a loud phone ring from outside the room. Tae looked over at Jimin and said,

"Ugh it's probably someone calling to try and sell me something again. Could you answer it and tell them I'm not interested?"

Jimin nodded and went out the door and up the stairs to the living room where the phone was. He picked it up and said,

"Hi, sorry but the owner of the house said he's not interested in buying anything so if you could stop calling this number that would be-"

"J-jimin? Jimin is that you?!!" Jimin heard the other voice on the phone and was confused for a second until he finally realized who the caller was. 

"Hoseok?"

Chapter Text

“So let me get this straight... Hoseok asks you where you’ve been this whole time, and the first logical answer that comes to your mind is that we went on an impromptu trip together?!!”

Tae asked Jimin looking beyond flabbergasted. Jimin lowered his head a bit at his raised voice and looked at the floor sheepishly. Tae continued shouting and yelled

”How the hell am I supposed to explain that Jimin?!” Tae crossed his arms and scoffed in disbelief. 

“I’m sorry, he was asking me so many questions all at once and I was put on the spot so I just said the first thing that popped in my head...” Jimin apologized and tried to explain 

“but a trip Jimin... out of the city???”  Tae repeated trying to emphasize how crazy it sounded.

“Well what ELSE was I supposed to say?!" Jimin retorted back suddenly now annoyed with taes accusations.

"Should I have let him know the truth and told him that you kidnapped me and kept me locked down in your basement instead?!” Jimin yelled angrily out without thinking first. 

There was a silence between them for a second before Jimin realized what he had said. Once he saw taehyungs face sink, he immediately regretted It.

“I..I’m sorry...I wasn’t right back then. I was messed up before I met you...I didn't know how to love before...”

Tae said softly looking down at the floor. He couldn’t look Jimin in the eye anymore. Jimin bit his lip and look a step closer to Tae, putting a hand gently on his shoulder,

”I’m sorry Tae, I shouldn’t have said that.  I know now that your not a bad person. I know that you were confused and scared and just needed somebody to help you. I don't blame you for doing those things anymore, okay?"

Jimin lifted up taes face to look into his eyes as he spoke. Tae looked back at Jimin with his puppy dog eyes and nodded. Jimin pulled him in for a hug and stood cutely on his toes so he could nuzzle his head into taes neck. Tae smiled and wrapped his arms areound him as well. 

After a second they pulled apart and tae said to jimin,

"Okay but really though, I have no idea how I'm going to explain that we went on a trip together to hoseok." tae said worriedly

" I'm not sure either... But you better think of something quick because he'll be here in half an hour." jimin said as he looked at tae guiltily and bit his lip.

"WHAT?!" Tae yelled looking more shocked than before.

"Don't get mad at me! He decided it all on his own and hung up before I could even say a word! Let me know when you think of something, I'm going to go get ready now."

Jimin said hurriedly before he broke away and ran past tae and up the stairs to hide in his room.

"PARK JIMIN!!!" tae yelled after him 

"YOUR SO GOING TO GET IT LATER!" 

He put one hand on his hip as the other ruffled through his hair. He shook his head back and forth, now burdened with the task of making up a semi-believable explanation for jimins unbelievable story.

The sound of the doorbell ringing through the house sent surprise and worry through tae and jimins spines. Tae came out from the kitchen while jimin bustled down the stairs and towards the front door. Just before he reached the front though, he saw the door that led to the basement room left ajar and quickly ran to shut it.

He was thankful that they had gotten rid of Jin and yoongi in time before hoseok had come over. That would have be a whole nother mess in itself to explain and they definetly did not have the luxury of dealing with that at the moment. 

Jimin then ran over to tae who was standing by the front door. The two looked at each other nervously and jimin spoke up and said,

"Don't worry, everything's going to be fine." He said in a half-forced calming tone.

"I hope so..." Tae said wearily back, slightly shaking his head back and forth, already anticipating disaster.

" It will be. Besides, Hoseok is our friend how bad could this really go?" Jimin said reassuringly, trying to sound more confident now.

Tae took a deep breath in and then turned the knob to open the door. Hoseok stood in the door way and didn't say a thing when he first saw them. His eyes were just open wide in disbelief and his lips quivered as he tried to make words but couldn't. Once his initial shock of seeing them alive and safe had passed, he shook his head and ran to Jimin and Tae as fast as he could

"JIMIN! TAE!" He yelled as he attacked the boys with a bear hug.

"Woah!" Jimin and tae gasped at his tight hug. Tae pat his back reassuringly as he continued to speak.

"oh my god, is it really you? Are you both really here right now?" Hoseok asked still in disbelief

Jimin smiled and chuckled a bit and said

"Yes, it's really us. And your currently choking us to death." 

Hoseok loosened his grip and stepped back a little. He then looked At them and said

"I'm sorry it's just that, we've been looking for the two of you for weeks and.. when I started to think we'd never find you I just..." Hoseoks voice got shakey and he put his head down to wipe the tear forming in his eye.

Jimin stepped forwardand hugged hoseok once more. And said

"You don't have to worry anymore hobi, were here now." Hoseok nodded and sniffled a bit as jimin hugged him.

Jimin was genuinely happy to see hoseok again. Throughout everything that had happened, he had really missed hoseok the most. The fact that hoseok had been searching for him when he went missing was one of the factors that kept jimin going himself and not give up. He was thankful to hold hoseok in his arms in that moment and he smiled happily.

Jimin then pulled away and wiped the left over tears off hoseoks face and he smiled. In that moment tae spoke up and said in a sort of lighthearted joking tone

"Aww how sweet,what a touching moment." He grinned 

Hoseok looked past jimin at tae and said jokingly back,

" That's right. Do you have a problem with that?" He said grinning now too. He hugged jimin even tighter and tae said back,

"As a matter of fact I do." Tae said 

He then grabbed jimin by his arm and pulled him in so he was in a tight hug with him. Jimin was shocked and said 

"Hey what are you doing?!" He tried to squirm away from tae but tae held him close and said

"He's no longer just yours anymore hoseok. Which means I don't want you to be so touchy with him from now on got it." 

Hoseok look surprised but he smiled and said

" Well, that just doesn't seem fair. You can't just keep him all to yourself." He put his hands on his hips and raised his eyebrows.

"Watch me." Tae said confidently.

Tae looked down at Jimin and took his face in his hands and planted a big kiss on his lips. Jimin was surprised and he immediately pulled away in shock. He covered his mouth with both hands and stared at tae with wide eyes, blush quickly showing on his cheeks. Hoseok jokingly whistled at their kiss and said,

"see I knew you two would perfect for each other. I'm a genius." He laughed at his own words and folded his arms, taking in the cute sight.

"I can't believe you did that just now!" Jimin nagged tae, still blushing from embarrassment. 

Tae just laughed and kissed the tip of his head. They were all laughing together when they suddenly heard another voice come from outside.

"Hoesok how much longer are you going to take?"

Hoseok turned around and started talking to someone who sounded like a younger boy.

"I thought I told you to wait in the car."

"I was but you were taking forever and I was getting bored." The Boy said in an annoyed voice.

Tae looked up from jimin to see what the commotion was and his eyes widened a bit at who he saw.

"Jungkook, is that you?" Tae said surprised

The young boy looked past hoseok and his face looked utterly surprised when he saw tae.

"Taehyung!" The boy yelled in excitement.

Jimin looked at tae who was surprised and turned around to see who he was talking to. He saw a young boy who looked like he was in his late teens, probably 18 or 19, that was pretty tall and had a strong slim figure. He also had dark black hair that swept above his eyes and really excentuated his good looking features. 

"Hoseok you didn't tell me we were visiting taehyungs house!" Jungkook said loudly

"That's because WE weren't, I was supposed to come by myself remember?" Hoseok answered back sassily.

The boy ignored him and quickly turned his attention back to tae and said

"I haven't seen you in so long taehyung! You haven't been coming to the studio recently, I was getting really nervous that something bad might have happened to you." The boy said with a concerned look on his face.

"Thanks for worrying about me, but i'm fine. It's good to see you again Jungkook." Tae said warmly as he smiled at the boy. 

Jungkook smiled back happily but stopped once he noticed Jimin. He noticed tae had his arm around his shoulder and how close they were standing together. The boy frowned slightly and looked Jimin up and down. Jimin noticed this and looked over at hoseok awkwardly, unsure of what to make of the situation. Hoseok saw jimins uneasiness and said,

"Sorry, excuse his rudeness for just barging in like this. This is Jungkook, he's my roommate. He didn't want to stay cooped up in the house so he decided to tag along with me."

Tae spoke up and added

"I see jungkook often at the dance studio where I work since he waits for Hoseok to finish teaching so they can go home together."

Jimin nods his head and understands a little better. He looks towards Jungkook and tries his best to smile warmly. 

" Oh how sweet! Well it's nice to meet you jungkook, I'm Jimin." He said as he held out his hand towards Jungkook.

Jungkook however kept his arms crossed in front of him and with a bemused voice he simply said

"Hi." Jimin slowly pulled his hand back in, curling his fingers nervously

"Jungkook!" Hoseok hissed

He gave jungkook a shove on the shoulder and an angry look. Jungkook clicked his tounge and sighed 

"It's nice to meet you." He said in an obviously less than enthusiastic tone.

Tae sensed the akward tension in the room and decided to step in

"Why... Don't you two come in for some drinks and we can talk inside." He said waving for them to come in.

jungkooks face immediately changed when tae spoke. He smiled and his eyes squinted with pure Glee as he said

" Of course we'd love that!" He immediately walked in and hooked his arm through taes, practically pulling him away from jimin, and headed towards the kitchen. Jimin was left standing alone with hoseok and was at a loss for words. 

"I'm sorry about that." Hoseok said apologetically

"I don't know what's gotten into him, he's usually really friendly when he meets new people." Hoseok scratched his head in confusion.

"It's okay I understand. I get thrown off when I meet new people too sometimes." Jimin said as he smiled shyly, trying not to let jungkooks behavior bother him.

Hoseok grinned and threw his arm over jimins shoulders, almost putting him in a headlock, 

"But I guess you weren't too thrown off meeting tae huh?" He snickered and ruffled jimins hair playfully

"Ah stop!" Jimin Laughed and wrestled playfully with hoseok.

Hoseok Always had a way of making anyone feel better no matter how bad the situation, and jimin was really grateful for that at the moment. They quit wrestling and walked towards the living room where the other two were.

Once they had all got their drinks they sat down on the couch in the living room. Jungkook had conveniently sat in between tae and jimin, making jimin feel strange once again. Hoseok sat on the other side of Jimin and was starting to ask many questions.

"Okay so explain to me again where you two went all of a sudden and couldn't tell anyone about." He said while sipping on his drink.

Tae and jimin glanced at each other for a second before tae cleared his throat and said,

"We went on a trip to the mountains outside of the city. After talking about how we both wanted to travel and found out we shared an interest in exploring and taking risks, we decided it might be fun to take a spontaneous trip together." Tae explained in a surprisingly calm and believable voice. Even jimin almost believed it was true.

Hoseok squinted his eyes suspiciously and continued sipping his drink.

"Hmmm... Then explain why you couldn't  pick up the phone and at least let someone know that you were gone." He almost demanded

Jimin spoke this time and said 

" Well we were so carried away with planning that by the time I had thought to call and tell you or someone else, we were already high in the mountains. And there was little to no signal there so there was no way for us to contact you." 

Hoseok took a second before he let out a sigh and said

"Look, I'm glad you two decided to have a grand ol' time together but the next time you think you want to disappear off the face of the planet together, at least call first alright?"

Jimin chuckled to himself and replied back

"Of course."

They all smiled and loosened up a bit now that hoseoks interrogation was over. Well, everyone except jungkook. He had a displeased look on his face and he kept glaring over in jimins direction. Jimin tried to act as if he didn't notice jungkooks pupils burning into him but he was starting to feel a little threatened.

He wondered what he did wrong to make jungkook dislike him so much in such a short amount of time. He fidgeted with his thumbs trying to stay calm. He then suddenly heard Jungkook speak up From his right.

”wow, so that’s why you’ve been gone for so long Tae, you were being nice and chaperoning your friend on a trip. That’s so sweet of you.” Jungkook said acting as if Tae had done some selfless charity act for Jimin.

Tae looked back at Jungkook looking a bit surprised at what he said and said

”um, I wouldn’t exactly have called it ‘chaperoning’. We decided to go for the sake of being together and getting closer to one another.” Tae looked over at Jimin and began to smile

”and I’m so glad we did.” Tae said

jimins anxiety loosened when he saw Tae smiling at him. He had forgotten why he was so tense in the first place for a few amazing moments before he was snapped back to reality.

”wait,” Jungkook said sounding confused

”are you two...together?” He looked at both men with a concerned look on his face. 

“Um..duh! Why else would they have gone on a trip together with just the two of them?” Hoseok chimed in. He threw his arm around Jimin and said

”and I think they look just perfect together, don’t you think so too Jungkook?”

jungkook stared at Hoseok for a second before a smile slowly appeared on his face. It was an unnerving smile though, it seemed to be only for show.

“I don’t want you take this the wrong way but...I just don’t see it.”

Jimins heart dropped in his chest and he froze, eyes locked on jungkook.

”I mean, taehyung is so tall and handsome. He’s always the center of attention wherever we go.” jungkook said with passion in his eyes. The passion almost immediately fading when his eyes turned to jimins.

"And you Jimin.." jungkook took a pause, studying him from head to toe.

"You just don't suit him at all."  

Jimins mouth hung open in disbelief. He had no idea how to feel in that moment. He hadn't noticed but he was starting to tremble, feeling like he was being outcasted as if he was back in school all over again.

"Jungkook!" Hoseok yelled trying to get him to stop, But he didn't listen. He kept going, kept attacking him. He leaned forward, elbows resting on his knees and hands clasped together he said,

" I mean, Just look at yourself. Pink hair, pale skin, and not to mention your height. Your so unlike tae that you would probably be mistaken for a girl next to him. Are you sure your really right for each other?"

"JUNGKOOK that's enough!" Tae finally yelled out, immediately silencing the whole room.

Jimin had his hand gripped on his pants and he was almost shivering. He looked down at the ground and quickly said in a shakey voice,

"I'm sorry, excuse me" before he stood up and ran out of the room.

"Jimin!" Tae yelled before he ran after him.

They left tae and hoseok sitting alone together.

"What the hell was that jungkook?!!" Hoseok demanded to know 

"I don't think I said anything wrong. I was just trying to help them and show them that their not compatible for each other." Jungkook said while he shrugged and took a sip of his drink.

Hoseok looked at him seriously and said,

"Who were you really trying to help jungkook? Them? Or yourself?" 

Hoseok stood up and walked away from jungkook, unable to look at him any longer.

Jungkook stared into his cup as he swirled the drink around in his hand. He smirked to himself and thought in his head.

"I think we both know the answer to that question." 

He wasn't finished either. No way was he going to lose his Tae to some bubblegum bitch with a cute face. Oh no, this was only the beginning.

Chapter Text

 "Jimin wait!" Tae yelled after jimin

But jimin couldn't hear him. There was a loud pounding in his head and his heart was racing so fast that it felt like it was going to explode out of his chest. He started breathing in short quick breaths, dangerously close to hyperventilating. He was starting to panic, starting to fall back down into the darkness his past reminded him of. He felt like he was going to faint until he felt tae catch up to him and grab his arm.

"Jimin please wait!" Tae said trying to catch his breath from running.

He put his hand to his chest and took a few deep breaths before he focused back on Jimin. He saw that jimin was shaking and breathing very heavily. With urgency tae grabbed jimin by his shoulders and shook him, trying to get his focus back. Tae spoke to jimin while he did this and said

"Jimin? Jimin! Can you hear me?! Look at me!" 

Jimins eyes flickered up towards taes face and when he realized who it was his breath started slowing down. His lips and body still trembled but at least now tae had his attention.

"Are you okay? You looked like you were going to faint." Tae asked with a concerned look on his face.

Jimin took a few deep breaths before he stuttered and said,

"I-im sorry, I d-didnt mean to ru-un out like that." He said shakily

"No no no, don't worry about that right now. I just need to know that your okay." Tae said before he pulled jimin in for a hug.

He cradled his head in his chest and spoke softly to him,

"I'm sorry."

Jimin looked up at tae surprised and asked,

"why are you apologizing? It wasn't your fault."

Tae answered back and said,

"Because I shouldn't have let jungkook say those things to you. I should have stopped him but I..."

Tae clenched jimin tighter as he paused,

"I was too weak. The jungkook I know would have never said those things. I couldn't...I didn't want to believe it. I'm so sorry jimin." Tae said sincerely

"Thank you, but it's okay. I know that he's a good friend of yours. You were probably in shock just as much as everyone else was. I don't blame you tae." Jimin said 

Tae sighed and said

"Your too understanding for your own good."

He ruffled jimins hair softly which made the other smile a bit.

"Don't believe what jungkook said. Hes still young and doesn't really know how to hold back at times. I'm sure he didn't mean what he said." Tae assured jimin

Jimin nodded hesitantly and smiled and understood what tae was trying to say. 

"Besides..." Tae continued

"I can't imagine myself being with anyone else but you." He then kissed the top of his forehead once more and then took his hand. Jimins heart fluttered a bit whenever he did that. He smiled back at tae warmly.

"What do you think, are you okay to go back? Tae asked sweetly.

"Yeah, I think so." Jimin said.

He smiled at tae and they headed back together to the living room where jungkook and hoseok were. When they walked back into the room hoseok immediately walked over to jimin and said.

"Oh jimin sweetie are you alright? I'm so sorry about jungkook, he's usually not like this. I hope you won't hold it against him."

Jimin shyly smiled and said

"Im fine, thank you hoseok."

Hoseok put a hand on his shoulder and let out a small sigh of relief. He was feeling better until he heard jungkook speak suddenly.

"Um jimin..."

Jimin turned and looked wearily at jungkook, watching him as he walked towards him.

"I...Want to say that I'm sorry."

Everyone's face in the room, including jimins, Looked surprised at what he said. They listened as he continued,

"It was never my intention to offend you or hurt your feelings. I had become so paranoid after tae went missing for so long that I wasn't thinking straight. I was wrong and I never should have said those things to you, I'm sorry. Do you think we could maybe... Start over?" Tae said looking surprisingly sincere.

He had his head tilted down and was looking sheepishly at Jimin, rubbing his arm shyly.

Jimin took a second before he walked over to jungkook. He paused for a moment but then smiled warmly and put his hand on jungkook's shoulder and said

"I think I'd like that very much."

Jungkook looked up at Jimin and smiled, With relief. Hoseok then interrupted their makeup session and slung his arm around jungkook's shoulders.

"Awwww, see I knew you were a good kid jungkook. Im proud of you for apologizing. It's so sweet, I think I might start crying again!"

Hoseok joked as he wiped pretend tears from his eyes. Jungkook scoffed and pushed hoseok away for acting so cheesy and he laughed.

"Me too I'm glad things worked out." Tae said happily.

"Alright well I think we've bothered you enough for one night. We better get going." Hoseok said while letting out a big yawn.

"Aw do we have to leave?" Jungkook whined

"Jimin and I just made up." He pouted 

"Which is exactly why we should leave as soon as possible, so you don't ruin it." Hoseok answered back sassily.

Jimin and tae laughed as jungkook pursed his lips and looked dissatisfied with hoseoks mocking.

"It was great seeing you two again. We'll be sure to come back and visit soon!" Hoseok chimes as he and jungkook walked out to their car parked in the driveway.

Tae and jimin waved to them and yelled "good night!" As they closed the door.

Once they were alone tae let out a big sigh and said,

"My goodness, it seems like life's never boring when hoseoks around huh?"

Jimin let out a big laugh and nodded in agreement.

"You can say that again." He said

Just then the sound of the doorbell rang through the hose and jimin and tae were shocked and confused as to why. Jimin eyed tae as he walked over to the door to open it. When he did he was surprised to see hoseok standing in the doorway looking annoyed, with a very sheepish looking jungkook behind him.

"Sorry to bother you again but it looks like Einstein over here forgot that he left the lights on in my car this whole time and I can't even start my engine and now we're stranded here at your house."

All tae could do was turn back towards jimin and say

"Like I said... Never boring."

He then invited both boys back into his house and hoseok asked,

"Do you think I could borrow your phone to call a taxi?" 

"What? A taxi is going to cost a fortune to get where you live." Tae said 

"Why don't you and jungkook just spend the night here?" Tae offered.

Hoseok looked at tae and said

"Oh no we couldn't we've already overstayed our welcome." 

"Nonsense, we have plenty of rooms. It's already late, Just stay here for the night." Jimin insisted as he was already ushering hoseok and jungkook back into the house.

"Hoseok, I think we should just accept their offer." Jungkook said urging hoseok to accept

"Hey don't forget your the reason we're in this situation in the first place." Hoseok snapped back 

"I know, I know, but what other option do we really have?" Jungkook said

Hoseok didn't say anything back because he knew that even though he didn't like it, jungkook was right.

"He's right, just sleep here hoseok." Tae insisted as well.

Hoseok let out a sigh of defeat and said

"Fine, but we're leaving first thing in the morning!"

Everyone smiled and tae and jimin showed them inside to their rooms. Hoseok got the guest room downstairs while jungkook took one of the spare rooms upstairs. Tae let them both borrow some sweats and loose t-shirts to sleep in and wished them good night as everyone went to bed.

Everyone had gone to bed and was sleeping soundly except for jimin who had woken up in the middle of the night to a sudden feeling of being thirsty. He got out of bed and went downstairs to grab some water. He half asleep fumbled around in the cupboards for a glass and when he found one he went to the fridge.  When his glass was filled he turned around and was shocked to see jungkook standing in front of him.

"oh my god! jungkook..is that you? You scared me." Jimin said holding a hand over his chest.

"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you." Jungkook said

"It's okay. What are you doing up so late?" Jimin asked curiously

"I guess I could ask you the same thing" jungkook answered back. Jimin chuckled and said

" Oh I was just thirsty and came down for some water. How about you, are you feeling okay?"

"Me? I'm fine. I was actually just wondering about something though..." Jungkook said as he traced his finger along the edge of the kitchen counter.

Jimin tilted his head and said

"What were you wondering about? Is it maybe something I can help you with?"

Jimin said sweetly. He felt bad that jungkook looked so worried and wanted to help.

"You would really help me?" Jungkook asked looking sheepishly

"Of course, were friends now remember." Jimin said sweetly as he smiled at jungkook.

"What is it that you need?" Jimin asked

"could you...."

Jungkook started before he took a pause. Jimin looked at him closer, trying to make out what he was going to say,

"Break up with taehyung." 

Jimins eyes opened wide, unsure if he had heard jungkook right or not. He stumbled back a little when jungkook started making his way towards him with a scary look in his eyes.

"W-what do you mean 'break up'? What are you talking about jungkook?"Jimin stuttered

"I mean exactly what I said, I want you to break up with him." Tae restated harshly

jimin couldn't believe what he was hearing. Jungkook's demeanor had made a total 180. He backed up until he hit up against the counter and there was nowhere else to go. Jungkook only moved in closer and pinned his hand next to his face on the cupboard. Jimin flinched at his sudden movement and said 

"Jungkook stop your scaring me! I thought we were friends!" 

Jungkook let out a small Scoff and said

"friends? You must be joking. Why would I be friends with someone who stole the man I love away from me!" Jungkook said in an angry but hushed voice as to not wake the others in the house up.

"Man you love?... Wait do you mean tae?" Jimin asked confused and nervously.

"Yes, That's exactly who I mean. One minute I feel like we're finally making a connection and then the next minute he goes missing for weeks and when I finally find him, Your somehow his new soulmate." Jungkook said sounding even more frustrated

Jimin looked at jungkook becoming so angry as he spoke and he put his eyes down, unsure of what to say.

"Jungkook, I had no idea.. I'm sorr-" jimin started when jungkook interrupted him and said,

"Don't say your sorry! I don't want your apologies. I just want you to break up with taehyung as soon as possible." He said fervently

Jimin understood now why it felt like jungkook disliked him so much before. He felt bad that jungkook thought he had stolen taehyung from him. But at the same time he didn't agree with what he was telling him to do either.

"listen I'm sorry things turned out this way but I can't break up with taehyung." Jimin stated firmly

Jungkook's expression changed from that of anger to one of cold ruthlessness.

"What do you mean you can't? You had no right to even be with him in the first place!"

Jungkook slammed his fist against the cupboard making jimin flinch in fear once again. But he was becoming angry with jungkook's constant accusations and attacks. He looked up at tae and said 

"What gives you the right to say that?" 

Tae looked down at Jimin and said coldly

"You don't even know him. Ive known him for much longer than you have. I know that he comes into the studio everyday with a smile on his face. I know hes one of the sweetest people I've ever met. I know him so much more than you do." Jungkook argued

Jimin furrowed his brows after hearing what jungkook said. He was taken back by the fact that jungkook was right. He hadn't known tae for nearly as long jungkook probably had. He felt defeated for a second before he remembered something.

"Your right. You probably have known him longer than I have but..."

jimin paused and looked intently into jungkook's eyes

"You don't know him like I do."

Jungkook face grew stern, The anger in his eyes clearly showing. He hovered over jimin now and said

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Jimin smiled and looked at jungkook confidently and said

"You don't know. There's no way you would know him like I know him. Otherwise, you wouldn't still love him the way you do now. He's not the person you think he is."

Jungkook snarled at jimin and grabbed him by his collar roughly.

"Shut up! How could you possibly know him better than me?!" He almost growled

Although a little shaken up, jimin tried his best to hold his ground and said,

"He isn't the sweet innocent taehyung youve looked up to for so long. He's hurting inside. He's been hurting inside and hiding it for so long. He needs me to be there for him now more than ever and honestly, I need him too. We're both broken inside but when we're together we found out we don't feel so broken anymore." 

Jungkook now had a look of hesitancy on his face. He hadn't completely wrapped his head around what jimin had said. Either way he decided to stay true to his intentions and not be swayed by jimins words. 

"Stop fucking messing with me! Your lying! Taehyung is kind and gentle, he's perfect!" Jungkook retorted angrily

"And I'm done messing around with you. Tell me you'll break up with taehyung...or else." He said

"Or else what?" Jimin asked 

"Don't make me repeat myself, are you going to break up with him or not?" Jungkook repeated.

Jimin felt scared but he knew there was just no way he could do what jungkook wanted. He loved taehyung too much.

"No, I won't." He said Confidently

Jungkook's glare deepened and it seemed like his whole aura darkened instantly.

"Fine, I guess we're doing this the hard way then." He said

 Jungkook grabbed jimin by his arm and started yanking him out of the kitchen and up the stairs. He did it so fast that jimin barely had any time to make a noise. Jungkook led him upstairs and back into Jimins room. When they got to the room jungkook threw him inside and jimin stumbled to the ground harshly.

"Ow! What are you doing?!" Jimin asked frantically

Jungkook stood in the doorway looking down at Jimin smugly and said

"I need to make sure you stay out of the way while I fix things back to the way they should be." 

 He smirked at Jimin and said

"Sleep tight~" before he closed the door.

Jimin tried to stand up and catch him but the door was closed in his face and he heard the sound of the lock clicking from the outside. He wiggled the doorknob furiously trying to get the door open but it was no use.

"NO! JUNGKOOK! OPEN THE DOOR! JUNGKOOK!" He yelled 

 But it seemed like jungkook had already left him alone.

"Damn It..."  He cursed as he hit his fist angrily against the door. He slid down to the floor and worried about what jungkook was planning to do.

Jungkook walked down the hallway with a proud smirk on his face. Finally, he had the chance to make things right again.He walked until he was standing outside of taehyungs room. He grabbed the door handle and started turning in slowly. When he opened the door he saw tae sleeping in his bed.

He quietly crept over to his bed and slowly slipped under the covers. Tae was sleeping facing away from jungkook with his back towards him. Jungkook scooted closer until he was close enough to put his arm around taes waist and hold him close. He smiled to himself and nuzzled his face in taes neck. He was falling asleep Until he was startled by tae starting to move.

"Huh... Who's...?" Tae mumbled as he started waking up.

"shh it's alright it's just me. Did I wake you? I'm sorry." Jungkook cooed sweetly

Taehyung tried looking over his shoulder to see who it was as he asked

"Jimin? Is that you?"

Jungkook immediately frowned. He was sad that tae didn't recognize him.

"No, it's jungkook." He said with a pout

"Jungkook?" Tae said surprised and he sat up in bed quickly.

He looked at jungkook who was lying casually next to him in bed.

"Jungkook what are you doing here?" Tae asked in shock

Jungkook sat up with tae and said a little annoyed.

"What, are you sad I'm not jimin?" 

Tae looked at jungkook even more confused and said

"What are you talking about? Why are you here jungkook? Is something wrong?"

Jungkook was starting to get annoyed with taehyungs questions. He looked at tae. And said in an annoyed tone

"Does something have to be wrong for me to be here? I just wanted to sleep next to you." 

"No that's not what I meant it's just..." Tae started but then trailed off

"It's just that I'm not your boyfriend." Jungkook stated bluntly

It seemed jungkook had hit the nail right on the head since tae just stayed silent while scratching the back of his head. He sighed and said

"I don't get what you see in him."

Tae looked at jungkook slightly shocked and said

"What?"

Jungkook shrugged and said

"I mean he's so different than you. I just can understand what's so special about him that makes you want him so much more instead of me." He confessed

"wait, what are you saying jungkook? Are telling me that you..like me?" Tae asked completely oblivious.

"Of course I like you. I've liked you for so long now but you never seemed to notice." He said 

Jungkook looked down at his hands And fumbled around with his thumbs. 

"Jungkook..." Tae murmered under his breath. He didn't know what to say.

Jungkook immediately cut him off and said 

"I can make you happy..."

Tae furrowed his brows at what he said. He looked confused

"I can make you happier than he can."

Jungkook looked into taes eyes now with determination.

"Woah look jungkook,I'm truly flattered that you feel that way about me and I'm sorry I didn't notice before but...jimin makes me happy. There's no way I could even think of being with someone else now." Tae confessed

Jungkook hated hearing those words come from taes mouth but he didn't stop him from persisting.

"What's so great about him? What can he do that I can't do better? Why does he have you wrapped around his finger so tight?! He's small and weak and there's absolutely nothing special about him that I can see. Open your eyes teahyung!"

Taes expression changed from confusion to sternness as he heard jungkook speak. 

"Don't talk about jimin that way. He's been through so much pain because of me and he still stayed by my side. He's dealt through so much that you couldn't possibly imagine." tae stated 

"What did he deal with? I bet I could have taken the pain much better than he did!" Jungkook argued

Taehyungs eyes darkened and his demeanor shifted.

"Oh, are you sure about that?" He said in a sudden deep voice

Jungkook noticed this and hesitated a little, but he was still adamant

"Of course." He said

Taehyung tilted his head a little as he looked at jungkook. He leaned in close so he was only a few inches from jungkook's face.

"Do you think you can prove it?" Tae asked with a glint of instigation in his eyes. 

Jungkook gulped nervously at taes question as well as at his sudden shift in demeanor. He looked down, away from taes gaze.

"Y-yes." He answered

Taehyung leaned in close to whisper into jungkook's ear,

"Right now?" 

Jungkook shut his eyes tight while the sound of taes deep voice sent shivers down his spine. Yet, he mustered up his courage and nodded his head.

Taehyung smirked and pulled away from jungkook to look him in the eyes.

"Well let's just see about that." He said sadistically.

Before jungkook had a a chance to respond taehyung grabbed him by his shoulders and pinned him roughly against the headboard of the bed. He then swooped in and started placing kisses on jungkook's chest and neck.

"Ah.. tae..." Jungkook moaned

But tae didn't stop there. As jungkook was distracted by his sudden kisses, tae grabbed two ties from his bedside drawer and pulled away from jungkook's neck.

Without warning he tied the tie around one wrist and tied it to one of the bed posts.

"Wait, what are you doing?!" Jungkook asked flustered.

"What? Are you afraid?" Tae teased coldly

"N-no it's just..." Jungkook stuttered

Taehyung then grabbed his other wrist and tied it tightly to the other bedpost as well. Jungkook yelped out in pain at the tightening of the restraints.

"Agh-, tae it's too tight!" Jungkook complained.

tae scoffed and Said

”Whats wrong? I thought you said you could handle it?”

“This is too much! Why are you doing this?! This isnt like you at all!” Jungkook said flustered

Taes eyes narrowed and he pulled away to look jungkook in the eyes.

”see, thats where your wrong” he said 

 He reached over into the bedside drawer  and pulled out another tie as he spoke.

 “This is exactly who I am, and this is a exactly how i've always been.” 

 Jungkook looked at tae with hurt and fear filled eyes as he spoke. His breath especially hitched in his throat when tae leaned in close to his face and whispered

”I hope you can keep your promise. Show me just how much you pain you can take jungkookie.”

After he said that, tae started lifting the tie towards jungkooks face and and he started to panic.

 “Wait no stop! Please don’t!” He begged

 But it was too late. Tae had already shoved the tie between his lips and tied it tightly around the back of his head. Tears had started pooling in his eyes and were overflowing down his cheeks. Tae noticed and said

“Now, now, dont cry. What happened to  ‘I can take it so much better than he can taehyung!’ ?” Tae mocked

jungkook just shook his head back and forth and strained at his restraints. He wanted everything to stop. He wanted it all to just be a dream and wake up. But it was all too real and there was no way to get out. His crying just got louder and Tae noticed this.

”If your too loud I’ll have no choice but to make you shut up.” Tae said coldly

 The words just made jungkook sob even louder and Tae rolled his eyes. Without saying anything, Tae grabbed jungkook harshly by his neck with one hand and slowly started choking him.

“mffmmff!!” Jungkook yelled panicked through his gag as Tae choked him.

he stared in horror at tae who just casually went through the motions while he suffered in pain. He cried out for help, for someone, anyone to come and make it stop.

“I hope you understand now why you could never replace Jimin.” Tae said as he kept strangling jungkook.

“This is nothing compared to the pain I put him through. So I don’t ever want to hear you speak like you did about him ever again, understand?” Tae threatened as his grip got tighter

jungkook was on the verge of passing out from lack of oxygen when he suddenly heard the door fly open and saw the silhouette of someone standing in the doorway.

”TAEHYUNG STOP!” The person yelled as they made their way over to the bed

Jungkook's eyes widened in surprise when he saw Jimin standing next to them.

"What are you doing let him go!" Jimin commanded as he pried taes hand from jungkook's throat.

"Jimin..." Tae said surprised as he watched him move over to help jungkook.

"jungkook are you alright?" Jimin asked with concern in his eyes. He quickly untied the gag from his mouth.

Jungkook looked at Jimin with wide eyes, still unable to believe he was really there in front of him, helping him. After a moment of realization, he broke down crying into tears all over again.

Jimin turned to taehyung and said

"How did this happen? What were you thinking tae?!" Jimin asked

Tae had a dazed and confused look on his face, almost as if he Had no memory of what just happened.

"I.. I don't know. He was saying such terrible things about you and I just.. just got so angry." He stuttered

"Just because he said those things still doesn't mean you can tie him up and treat him this way! You know that tae!" Jimin repremanded.

"I- I'm sorry!" Tae stuttered before he couldn't stand his feeling of guilt any longer and ran out of the room.

"Tae wait!" Jimin yelled after him but he was already too far gone out the door.

He sighed deeply to himself but then quickly turned his attention back to jungkook

"Are you okay? Here let me untie you."

Jimin untied jungkook's hands from the bed and the whole time jungkook stared  in disbelief at him. Once his hands were untied jungkook spoke up and said

"How... How did you get out of the room?" He asked confused 

Jimin let out a small laugh and said

"Your lucky I thought ahead and learned how to pick that lock a long time ago. It only took me a few tries before I got it."

Jungkook nodded faintly in understanding and then Put his head down and looked into his lap. He was still so in shock about everything that just happened that he didn't even know what to do with himself.

"Listen if your okay, I'm going to go find tae and see if I can calm him down." Jimin said as he started to move off the bed

Jungkook's eyes shot open and he grabbed onto jimins arm immediately. He started trembling and and said

"Wait don't go! Please don't leave me here alone! Please!" He pleaded with tears streaming down his face again.

"Shh okay, okay, calm down. I won't go anywhere okay?" Jimin hushed jungkook and tried to calm him down.

"Here lie down." Jimin said as he helped jungkook lie down on the pillow and pulled the blanket over him.

"Don't go...don't go jimin.." jungkook kept mumbling to himself as he lied down, his eyes starting to feel heavy.

Jimin sat beside him and watched as he fell asleep still holding onto his wrist tightly. He stroked his hair hoping to help him fall asleep faster.

Jungkook found a strange sense of comfort in jimins presence that he'd never felt before. He felt so calm as jimin sat there next to him and softly stroked the top of his head. Before he knew he Was almost asleep when he mumbled softly

"I'm sorry jimin..." A single tear streamed down his cheek as he fell asleep.

Chapter Text

When Jungkook started to wake He rustled around a little before his eyes started to flutter open slowly. It took a few moments for his hazy vision to focus but when it did he was taken aback by Jimins figure lying next to him.

At first he let out a small gasp, confused since he had momentarily forgotten what had happened the night before. But after his initial shock had subsided he found himself lying there looking at him.

He studied him as his chest rised and fell as he breathed peacefully in his sleep. He  noticed how pink hair strands fell in front of his eyes and brought out the rosy color in his cheeks. His skin looked like it was porcelain, fair and smooth in the darkness. Jungkook found himself wanting to reach out and touch it. Without thinking, he reached out slowly and gave his cheek a quick small test poke, which received a cute reaction from Jimin where he scrunched his nose and made a little moan in his sleep.

jungkook watched with awe at his reaction. He then ever so carefully placed his palm to his cheek. His eyes widened in surprise. It was just as soft and smooth as he had imagined, if not even more. He rubbed his thumb over his cheek back and forth, still in disbelief that someone’s skin could feel so soft to the touch.

His hand then started subconsiously trailing down from his cheek towards his lips. Jungkook felt like he was in a trance watching Jimin sleep. He ran the pad of his thumb over his plump lips. Feeling jimins warm breath on his fingertip as he continued the motion.

He wondered to himself, was he even real?

Jimin had repeatedly faced harsh accusations and even physical abuse by him before yet, he still helped him when he was in trouble. Could someone so forgiving really exist? He was starting to understand now why Tae might love him so much.

 He felt drawn to him somehow...it was a feeling he couldn’t explain, something he’d never experienced before. It felt almost like how he felt when he looked at taehyung but, no...this feeling was different. It wasn’t the same puppy love crush he felt when he saw Tae, this felt deeper than that. An infatuation.

He leaned in closer so that he was only an inch or two away from jimins face. He was moving now without thinking first, letting his emotions get the best of him. He got so close that he could feel jimins breath catch his lips and he shuddered at the feeling. Right when their lips were about to touch though, jungkooks closeness seemed to have stirred Jimin and he began to wake up.

”mmm...Tae wait...” Jimin mumbled as if he was having a bad dream

”don’t go...don’t go...TAE!” Jimin suddenly shouted as he sat up from the bed in a panic, completely not noticing that Tae was only inches from his face just a few seconds ago.

”jimin! Calm down, are you okay?!" Jungkook asked as he sat up and tried to calm the other down. Jimin looked over at jungkook and then glanced around the room. He looked very confused by the look on his face.

"Jungkook?What, what happened? Did I fall asleep?" Jimin asked confused. 

Jungkook looked at Jimin and said,

"I guess you must have fallen asleep too after I passed out." 

Jimins head dropped and his eyes darted back and forth trying to remember what happened.

"I fell asleep... Wait, but what about taehyung?? Oh no! How long was I asleep for?! I was supposed to go after him!" Jimin exclaimed, now more panicked than before.

"Shh jimin calm down! Everything's going to be alright, just take a breath first okay?" Jungkook said as he gripped jimins arm, trying to keep him from running off and doing something irrational in his panicked state.

Jimin looked at jungkook and listened to him, taking in a deep breath and letting it out slow which helped to calm him down a little. 

"there, better?" Jungkook asked

"Yes, thanks." Jimin replied with another breath

Jimin then glanced around while he scratched the back of his head and asked,

"What the is it anyway?"

It was still dark outside from what jungkook could see through the windows and he looked at the clock next to tass bed on the side table.

"4:30 am" jungkook answered

Jimins eyes immediately shot open in surprise. He started moving the sheets off his body and was already hopping out of the bed

"4:30?! I fell asleep around 12! He's been gone for more than four hours and he hasn't come back yet?!" Jimin said looking frantic all over again.

Jungkook threw the covers off as well and got out of bed. He stood up and ruffled his hair and said,

"I'm sure he just fell asleep downstairs, it's no big deal..." Jungkook said 

He didn't know why but for some reason, he didn't like the fact that jimin was so worried about tae. Not because he still had feelings for tae, no, those were long gone now. But, he felt annoyed...maybe even jealous? He couldn't figure out why though. It wasn't like he felt anything towards jimin particularly...

"I'm going downstairs to check." Jimin proclaimed as he placed towards the door.

Jimins sudden proclamation brought jungkook back from his thoughts and he saw that jimin was leaving. He called after him and said

"Hold on!" As he followed jimin downstairs 

"Tae! Tae?!" Jimin called out as he searched the bottom floor. 

Jungkook ran after jimin and quickly put his hand over his mouth to stop his yelling.

"Mmmm!" Jimin yells were muffled under jungkooks hand as he grabbed at it, trying to pry it off.

"Shh! Don't make too much noise, you'll wake up hoseok! Do you really want to tell him that tae is missing again?" Jungkook warned. He then felt jimin calm down a little after listening to his reasoning. He looked into Jimins eyes and said,

"Are you okay now?"

Jimin looked back at him and nodded slightly.

"Okay." Jungkook's said and he slowly took his hand away from his mouth.

Jimin let out a sigh of relief as his mouth was freed and he said to jungkook,

"He's not here jungkook! What are we going to do?! Where could he have gone?!" 

Jungkook saw the panic in jimins eyes and it...hurt him. His chest felt tight and all he wanted to do in that moment was make jimin feel better.

"Jimin look at me." Jungkook said as he took jimins hand into his own.

Jimin listened and looked up at jungkook.

"Your not alone In this, I'll help you. We're going to find him. I promise." Jungkook looked sincere as he said this and jimin could tell. He sniffled a little and nodded his head and said softly,

"Thank you jungkook."

Jungkook felt a warm sensation in his chest when he heard jimin say his name. He never expected that to happen and unconsciously started to feel his face heat up. He caughed into his fist and looked away trying to hide his reaction. After he got a hold of himself, jungkook asked jimin

"Do you have any idea about where he could have gone?"

Jimin looked down and thought for a moment, trying to think of anything that could help them. But he just shook his head and said,

"No, I can't think of any other place he could be." He said distressed

Jungkook took a breath and looked over towards the front door. He walked over and opened it to look at the driveway outside.

"His car is still in the driveway. Which means he probably didn't go very far."

Jungkook said as he looked back at Jimin.

"I think I saw a park not to far from here while we were driving over. Maybe he went there." He suggested

Jimin ran over over to the door as well and said

"I think you might be right. Let's go right now." Jimin said with determination in his voice.

The two grabbed their jackets from the coat closet and left out the door. They decided to walk to the park instead of drive so they wouldn't risk driving past tae if They saw him. They walked side by side calling out taes name in the early morning darkness. They walked until they reached the park jungkook mentioned earlier.

They split up and searched high and low for tae. Jimin searched around the kids jungle gym, peering through the yellow plastic tunnels and bright red monkey bars. Jungkook searched around the flower beds but found no sign of him. Eventually they both meet back up and sit down under a gazebo in the middle of the park. It had started to drizzle and jimin was quickly losing hope of finding tae.

Jimin sighed and rested his head in his hands and said

"Were never going to find him..."

Jungkook sat in silence for a moment, but then turned towards jimin and asked

"Jimin, why do you want to find him so badly? Is he really that important to you?" He said with a questioning tone

Jimin looked up from the floor and at jungkook and said

"Yes. He's very important to me." No hesitation in his voice.

Jungkook furrowed his brows and said,

"But...why?"

He scooted closer to jimin and looked serious as he spoke.

"Didn't he, hurt you? He told me that he put you through so much pain, more than anyone else should be able to handle."

Jimin understood now what jungkook meant and looked off in the distance at the small dropplettes of rain that were hitting the pavement. He spoke calmly and said,

"That's true, he did put me through a lot of pain. Some of the worst I've ever felt actually." 

Jungkook looked even more concerned at this and said

"Well if it's true then why are you still with him?! It was so scary the way he acted last night... I can't imagine you going through something worse than that and still wanting to be with him!" Jungkook had a bit of anger in his voice now as he spoke.

Jimin just continued to look off into the rain and said,

"I get it. After what he did, most people would probably think the same way as you. But I don't see him that way. Im not afraid of him." He said calmly

Jungkook was beyond confused at this point. He honestly couldn't comprehend how jimin could think that way. He raised his voice and asked,

"How? How can you say that?! How can you stay by his side and not want to run away!" His eyes were burning with frustration and confusion.

Jimin however, remained as calm as composed as ever. He closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. He smelled the cool musk of the morning rain and breathed out slowly. He then turned and looked jungkook in the eyes and said, 

"Because I learned to understand him."

Jungkook's face softened as he listened to jimin speak. He hadn't expected to hear jimins honest words and they really caught his attention.

"I learned to understand him... And then I slowly learned to love him."

Jimin said as he started to looked off in the distance once more.

”Im not saying it was easy, learning to love someone who hurt me like that." He admitted

"But once I looked past his harsh actions and figured out that something was hurting him on the inside, I realized he wasn't really such a bad person after all. He had just been hurting for a really long time too and didn't know how to control his emotions."

Jungkook listened in silence as jimin continued to talk about tae so sincerely. The sound of jimins voice mixed with the light patter of the rain falling entranced him.

He was in awe of this incredible person in front of him that was able to look past someones flaws and could see the best in them nonetheless. This wasn't good. He could feel him self quickly falling, deeper and deeper with every word he spoke.

"I never thought I could feel so completely in love with someone. The kind of love where standing near them just makes you feel complete. The kind that makes you want to give up everything to them, to be together always." jimin said, a warm smile clearly showing on his face. The sides of his eyes crinkled softly as he reminisced.

"I know you probably think i'm crazy but...haven't you ever felt like that before? Your so far gone that anything seems possible if it means you could be with that one person?" jimin looked at jungkook in the eyes as he spoke. 

jungkook didn't know if it was the hypnotizing sound of the rain or the rosy cream colors of the sunrise in the sky but it seemed like his body had made up its mind before he did. He moved closer and took Jimins face in his hand.

"J-Jungkook?" jimin asked confused and flustered by the sudden action.

before he could say another word jungkook moved in and kissed Jimin on the lips. He held Jimin firmly by the back of his neck as they pressed their lips together. Jimin had his eyes open in shock and as quickly as he could shoved jungkook off of him. 

“Wha-what are you doing?!” Jimin asked frantically

But jungkook just ignored his question and grabbed him by his waist and pulled him in close and kissed him once more. He held Jimin tightly as their mouths collided, pressing his body against the other. subtly mingling his tounge with jimins as breathy objections escaped the others mouth. 

It wasn’t until jungkook decided to pull away from the kiss that Jimin had a chance to catch his breath. He gasped and put his fingers to his lips, unable to believe what just happened. He looked at Jungkook and asked

“Why did you do that?! Looking very shaken

jungkook looked back at Jimin and said,

“That feeling you mentioned before...I think I understand what you mean now.”

jimin furrowed his brows looking confused and asked

“what?”

jungkook took a deep breath, the sound of the rain sounded so far away now, and he said

“I think I’m falling in love with you Jimin”

Jimins eyes opened wide in shock. He almost didn’t believe it but the serious look on jungkooks face told him he was telling the truth. He opened his mouth to try and say something when he heard someone say

“Get away from him.” 

Jimin looked over towards the sound of the voice and he felt like his heart stopped.

There he was standing soaking wet in the rain, still in the same sweats that he slept in, wearing a chilling glare on his face that sent chills down jimins spine. Jimin stuttered in disbelief when he called out to him.

“T-Tae...”

Chapter Text

Jimin and jungkook stared at tae in total shock. He stood out in the rain as it poured and soaked through his clothes. His expression looked so scary that it made jimin unintentionally tense up.

"T-Tae... What are you doing here? We were looking everywhere for-" jimin stuttered before taehyung cut him off by yelling once again,

"I said get away from him!" Tae yelled
He stormed towards them both and yanked jimin away from jungkook's arms.

"Hey! what do you think your doing you can't just-" jungkook argued but was shut up with a loud slap to the face.

"tae!" Jimin yelled in surprise but tae ignored him

He walked up close to jungkook's face and said in a cold deep tone

"I'm really holding back right now, Don't make me hurt you."

He stared jungkook down, water still dripping down from the tips of his hair onto his face. He was visibly livid as jungkook saw his jaw tighten 

Jungkook held his stinging cheek and Stared back in fear at tae. He was too shocked to say anything back.

Tae slowly moved away from jungkook and walked back towards jimin who looked very flustered at the moment.

"Were going." Tae said sternly.

He grabbed jimin by his wrist and dragged him out into the rain back to their house.

"Wait it's pouring tae! Hold on-!" Jimin yelled. But tae ignored him, he just pulled him along forcefully. Leaving jungkook standing alone in the rain.

...

”Ow! Tae your hurting me!” Jimin complained as Tae dragged him to the front doorstep of the house. He was clutching his wrist so tightly, Jimin thought it would have fallen off. Without a word Tae unlocked the front door and almost threw Jimin inside. It had been a while since Jimin had felt Tae use that much strength with him and he didn’t expect it.

”WOAH!” Jimin exclaimed as he stumbled into the house, hands stretched out trying to balance himself once again.

”What the hell tae! Why are you being so rough?” Jimin asked looking confused and a little bit angry too

tae stormed towards Jimin and immediately  took his body and slammed it against the wall in the entrance hallway. 

“Agh!” Jimin cried out in surprise. he looked up at Tae to yell at him but when he saw the seriousness in his face, he went mute.

”what the hell was that out there Jimin?” Tae said in his deep tone.

Jimin looked nervous. He didn’t want to make Tae even angrier so he averted his eyes and said

”o-out where? I don’t know what your talking about...” 

“The kiss.” Tae said bluntly and Jimin looked up surprised.

”Why were you kissing jungkook?!” He said with a little more urgency in his voice now. He gripped jimins arms tighter which made Jimin wince a bit.

“No see, you’ve got it all wrong. We went out there to look for you and-“

“That seems like a very strange way to look for someone don’t you think?” Tae cut in coldly.

jimin went silent, he understood why Tae was angry but he couldn’t reason with him at all. Tae spoke up again and said,

”I’ve never tried it like that but if that’s the case, maybe I’ll try kissing a random person on the street the next time I’m lost.”  He had a sharp coldness in his sarcasm that shocked Jimin.

”Or better yet, I’ll just give them a blowjob. I mean, if im already putting myself out there...” 

“Stop it!” Jimin yelled angrily

”I didn’t kiss jungkook, he kissed me! It didn’t mean anything to me! Why are you being like this?!” 

Tae shifted his weight so he could place his hand on the wall next to jimins face, boxing him in as he spoke

”That’s not it.” Tae said

”Why would jungkook kiss you If he didn’t think he had a chance at something more.”

He looked dead into jimins eyes. Jimin was taken aback by his words. He furrowed his eyebrows looking hesitant and confused as he stuttered

”w-what do you mean...”

Tae tilted his head ever so slightly as he spoke, a twinge of maliciousness in his tone.

”Think about it, he kissed you because you must have given him a reason to. I’m not just angry at the kiss, I’m angry that you decided to lead him on.”

Astonished. That was all Jimin could feel in that moment. He couldn’t believe Tae was standing there, completely disregarding everything he was saying, and blaming him for what had happened. The angry feelings in jimins gut we’re starting to boil over now and he said

“you- your joking right? That’s not true and you fucking know that taehyung.”

”Isn’t it though?” Tae snapped back

”You were the first one to offer up our home to him without a second thought weren’t you? To spent the night sleeping under the same roof? Not to mention how quickly you seemed to rush to his side and “save” him from my fucked up self last night. Are you sure you had absolutely no part in what happened? Because to me, it looks like you orchestrated the whole damn thing.”

They both stood there in silence for what felt like an eternity. Tae stood over Jimin brooding while Jimin was stunned and at a loss for words. He was hurt, like someone had jabbed a knife into his chest and twisted it around until his heart was a mangled mess.

”H-how can you say that...”

Jimin mumbled. He felt like his tears were bound to fall at any moment, waiting for something to push him over the edge.

“Did it feel good?” Tae suddenly said out of the blue.  Jimin looked at him with pained eyes as he spoke.

”Did it feel good kissing him? kissing someone normal. Is that what you wanted? To try and see what it would be like to be with someone who isn’t broken beyond repair.” 

Jimin couldn’t take much more of this. His emotions of pain and anger were swirling around inside of him and it felt like he was being torn apart from the inside out. Tae continued his relentless accusations Nonetheless.

”if you wanted to do that, then why go through the trouble of being with me? Why act like you loved me this entire time, when you really didn’t. It would have been a lot easier if you had told me you just wanted to mess around. That way I would have been prepared when you go around fucking other-“

*SLAP*

the room went silent after the loud slap echoed from the walls.

Taehyung held the cheek Jimin had slapped in his hand as he stared at Jimin with wide eyes. Jimin stood in front of him with tears streaming down his cheeks.

”Not...once...did I ever lie to you.” Jimin said with a shakey voice.

“I can’t believe you would spit on my feelings like that, even if you are angry. I’m not going to stand here and be your punching bag.”

jimin said as suddenly pushed past taehyungs arm and walked towards the front door. He grabbed his coat and an umbrella on the way and grabbed the handle to leave when he turned back and said,

”I don’t know if I can trust you Like I used to anymore...I need some time to think. Don’t follow me.” 

Jimin turned back around and headed out the door, slamming it behind him.

taehyung stood there stunned, unsure of what really just happened. But from what he could gather, he could tell it wasn’t good. His anger and jealousy had yet again gotten the best of him and he knew if he didn’t make things right, and soon, he could very well end up losing Jimin for good. 

In the midst of his thoughts however, he heard someone else’s voice coming from behind him. He heard a loud yawn followed by,

”ugh what’s with all the racket so early in the morning? Oh tae your awake! I thought I heard jimins voice too, did he leave? OMG it’s pouring out there! Did he at least take an umbrella, he’s always so forgetful-” 

tae hyung turned around and grabbed Hoseok by the shoulders. 

“Hoseok listen I need your help.”

hoseok was totally unprepared for tae’s urgent request but he tried his best to keep calm and listen. With crusty eyes and a fresh bedhead, hoseok looked seriously at Tae and asked

”what do you need?”

...

Jimin walked along the wet sidewalk, mindlessly kicking stray stones and stepping in all visible puddles. His mind was a currently a mess. His cheeks were so wet that he couldn’t tell if it was from the rain, or all of his crying. 

He managed to stop crying eventually, when it seemed all his tears had run out. He now just mindlessly walked with no real destination in mind. 

He felt like he was at a crossroads with himself. In his head, he hated taehyung. He hated how his jealousy and anger issues so easily got the best of him and caused him to do ridiculous things. It frustrated him down to his bones.

but, in his heart he knew that wasn’t really Tae. He knew Tae was really a gentle soul that just struggled with a lot. He knew the sweetheart Tae was and in his heart, he didn’t really want to give up on him.

”ugh!” Jimin yelled out into the falling rain. He was frustrated and didn’t know what to do. 

After he yelled and managed to relieve some of his frustration, he looked around and noticed he had walked farther than he meant to. He had ended in a place he wasn’t familiar with.

It seemed like he had walked all the way to a small intersection in one of the small towns not to far from Taes house. He looked around and saw the small shops that lined the corners of the intersection. 

People walked out of the cornershop bakery carrying freshly baked loaves. He could see the content looks on people’s faces as they talked to each other over coffe in the coffe shop. Everyone living their lives normally...as they should be.

no one was worried about him and his worries. There was no way anyone here could help him ease his pain. Everyone except...

he paused suddenly as he saw someone far off standing near the crosswalk at the intersection. He was standing in the rain getting completely soaked and staring off into space. Jimin squinted his eyes and tried to make out who it was. He walked a bit closer before he realized it was someone he knew. He took a big breath and yelled out their name at the top of his lungs,

”JUNGKOOK!” 

The boy turned towards the direction of jimins yell and tilted his head confused. Jimin called out his name again and started making his way towards him.

”Jungkook!” Jimins wall turned into a swift jog as he made his way to the intersection. 

Jimin was about to cross the street to meet jungkook when he noticed the crosswalk light turn red, so he stopped at the curb. However, he could see that jungkook was still walking his way with no sign of slowing down. 

“Jungkook wait right there! The light is red!” Jimin yelled now panicked.

the rain was too loud and jungkook didn’t seem like he could hear what Jimin was saying. He was so focused on trying to make out what Jimin said that he didn’t notice the crosswalk light change to red. 

Jimin waved his hands out in front of him motioning to jungkook to stop. But jungkook continued to walk towards him until he was standing in the middle of the street.

”JUNGKOOK MOVE! WATCH OUT!!!” Jimin yelled in panick. He pointed to the right of jungkook and looked like he was a frantic mess.

”What? Move?...” jungkook repeated sounding confused. 

He curiously looked over towards the direction Jimin was pointing at and froze.The bright lights from the oncoming car blinded jungkook and it felt like everything happened in slow motion.

The screeching brakes of the car, the panicked sound of the horn, and jimins screams sounded far away and muffled in that single moment. He shut his eyes tight, anticipating the inevitable impact, but opened them in surprise when he felt a hard shove that left him lying on the hard asphalt. 

He looked around in a daze. Had he been hit? Was he dead? All these questions were swirling around in his head as he tried to make sense of what happened. People passing by had started to crowd around the scene and he was getting a bad feeling in his gut. He turned around to look back at the place he had been shoved from and his heart stopped.

In front of the stopped car, layed a lifeless looking body. His eyes widened and his mouth hung open in horror at the sight. Immediatley he crawled over to the body and turned it over in his arms to see who his savior was. Blood now seeping onto jungkooks clothes.

Only fate could be this cruel.

through choked sobs jungkook cried out loudly,

”TAEHYUNG!!!” 

....

The sounds from the hospital buzzed together in harmony. Everyone moving around busily like bees in a beehive. Jimin hated it. The smells, the sounds, it all reeked of tension and uncertainty. Just the mere thought of so many people passing away in one building made his stomach turn.

He sat in a chair in one of the waiting rooms outside of the ICU. Despite the fake flowers and pictures of calming beach scenes on the wall, the room wasn’t helping him calm down. He was still drenched from the rain outside since he immediately rushed to the hospital after the...accident. 

He tapped his foot nervously and and fidgeted around with his hands as the minutes, which felt like hours, ticked by. He kept glancing towards the big doors labeled with the warning,

“I.C.U AUTHORIZED PERSONEL ONLY BEYOND THIS POINT”

Hoping the doctors would come out any minute with good news. He rested his face in his hands and sighed hopelessly. He looked up again though when he heard a familiar voice.

”Hey.” 

He looked over and saw hoseok walking towards him carrying two cups of hot coffee in his hands.

”I brought you some coffee from the cafeteria downstairs.” Hoseok said with a soft tone.

Jimin forced a slight smile and nodded in thanks as he took the hot coffe in his hands. Hoseok then took a seat in one of the chairs next to him.

”Thanks.” Jimin said

”Don’t worry about it. How are you holding up?” Hoseok asked looking a little bit worried

“I don’t know...not too good I think.” Jimin confessed as he stared into his cup

”I know how you feel. I never expected for taehyung to do something like that.”

It was true. Hoseok was just as shocked as everyone else in that intersection who witnessed Tae push jungkook out of the way. When Tae had asked him for his help to look for Jimin, he didn’t expect to find jungkook as well. 

It all happened so fast he could hardly remember it. At one moment he was driving around with Tae looking for any sign of Jimin when Tae yelled at him to “stop the car!”. And the next thing he knew Tae had run out into the middle of the street and that’s when he heard the sound of someone getting hit.

Hoseok took a sip of his coffee and said with a sigh.

”I just can’t believe it...”

jimins face looked sullen as he mumbled to himself,

”It’s all my fault.”

Hoseok turned towards Jimin looking shocked and said

”What? What are you talking about?”

”Before I left, Tae and I got into a fight. He said things that made me so angry that I hit him across the face. In my rage I stormed out and, I didnt even say goodbye...”

jimins voice shook in his throat. Hoseok could tell he was close to crying so he put his hand on his shoulder and said in a firm voice,

” Stop that. You know it’s not your fault Jimin. You got into a fight, every couple does at some point. There’s was no way you could have known this would happen. Don’t blame yourself for something that was completely out of your control. Understand?”

Jimin looked at hoseok and was thankful for his reassuring words. Hoseok never failed to make him feel better, even at times like these. 

“Yeah...” Jimin replied understandingly  

Hoseok gave him a warm smile and put his arm around his shoulders.

”Good.” He said. Jimin smiled a bit, now feeling a little bit better than earlier.

”By the way...” hoseok started saying

”when your feeling up to it, I think a certain someone wants to talk with you” hoseok raised his eyebrows and Jimin already knew who he was talking about. He nodded and stood up from his chair. 

“I’ll be back. Let me know if anything happens.” Jimin said

”Will do!” Hoseok answered more cheerfully this time and Jimin turned to head out the door.

He made his way over to another part of the floor sectioned off for minor injuries and first aid care. There were many cots lined up against the wall but he only saw one at the end that had a familiar pair of legs dangling from the edge.

He walked over to the bed and pulled back the curtain to find Jungkook sitting there. He was wearing one of those blue hospital gowns that patients wear and had some bandages wrapped around his wrists and ankle. Jimin guessed it was most likely from the impact of the fall.

 “Ah-Jimin!” Jungkook said with a surprised look on his face.

”You scared me. I didn’t know you were coming.” He said, embarrassment faintly flushing his cheeks

”How are you feeling?” Jimin asked

”I’m fine. How is Taehyung? Is he okay?” Jungkook asked worriedly. Jimin could tell he was genuinely worried about him and it made him feel bad for the boy.

”We don’t know yet. We’re still waiting for the doctors to tell us the news.” Jimin replied 

jungkooks face sank and he looked down into his lap.

”Oh...” he said

He bit his lip, looking like he wanted to say something but was afraid to. Surprisingly he spoke up and said to Jimin suddenly

“Um.. I...I’m sorry.”

jimin looked at him with confusion and said

”What? Why are you sorry?”

jungkook fumbled around with his hands as he explained,

”I’m sorry for kissing you so suddenly earlier.”

 Jimins eyes widened in surprise. He wasn’t expecting his sudden apology.

”It was immature of me to think that rash actions like that were okay. Especially since I knew you had feelings for someone else too. I was wrong and... I’m sorry. I don’t expect you to forgive me by any means but, I just had to apologize.”

jimin tilted his head while a small smile shone on his face. Jungkook was really endearing when he was being vulnerable and Jimin appreciates his apology. He took his hand and ruffled around jungkooks hair softly. Jungkook looked up surprised at Jimin sudden action.

”Thank you for your apology.” He said sweetly

”your not mad?” Jungkook asked shyly

”No I’m not mad. As long as you understand what you did wrong, I forgive you.” 

Jungkook smiled happily and quickly reached out to hug Jimin. Jimin was caught off guard at first but ended up hugging jungkook back as well. Everything seemed to be looking up until hoseok came running towards them. They pulled away from their hug and watched as hoseok tried to catch his breath before he could speak.

”Hoseok? What’s wrong?” Jungkook asked 

hoseok panted heavily as he tried to speak.

”It’s .... it’s Tae-taehyung... come quick!...”

Without another word the three of them ran back to the ICU where a doctor stood there waiting for them. 

They panted heavily from running and Jimin asked frantically,

”What’s going on doctor? Is something wrong with taehyung? Please tell me he’s going to be okay!”

The doctor flipped through some pages on his clipboard and said,

”The injuries he sustained were pretty serious. We managed to stop any internal bleeding that occurred, but he still has multiple hairline fractures on his skull and ribs, along with a case of slight head trauma.”

Jimins heart sank. With every word the doctor spoke his hope grew weaker and weaker. 

“But is he okay now?” Hoseok asked hopefully

”At this time he is stable and we are keeping a close eye on him.”

the three let out sighs of relief in unison at the doctors news.  But their moment of relief wasn’t long  before the doctor continued and said,

”However,” the three looked at him with concern 

“We believe that due to the intense trauma of the situation, the patient has decided to remain in an unresponsive state.”

”Unresponsive state? What does that mean?” Jungkook asked nervously

the doctor sighed and said

”Although he has the ability to wake up and function normally, for some reason we can’t explain the patient is in what you would call a ‘coma’.”

jimin almost fainted right then and there if it weren’t for jungkook and hoseok there to keep him up.

”No... no way...” he mumbled

“Isn’t there something you can do to wake him up? There’s has to be a way!” Hoseok pleaded

The doctor shook his head sadly and said

”Unfortunatley there’s nothing more the hospital can do for him besides watch him and make sure he stays alive. It’s now completely up to him if he decides to wake up or not. I’m very sorry.” 

“I can’t belive this.” Jungkook said 

“Can we at least see him?” Jimin croaked, his voice cracking under his emotions

”Of course, but only one at a time. His condition is very critical at the moment. Too much commotion could be dangerous and initiate another relapse.” The doctor said

the three silently nodded and decided Jimin should be the first to see him. One of the nurses came out and showed him the way to Taehyungs room. Hoseok and jungkook both gave Jimin a hug before he left and sent him on his way. 

The nurse walked him down a long hallway until they reached a room with a nameplate on the door that read,

”Kim, T.”

she opened the door and said in a quiet soft voice,

”Taehyung sweetie, someone is here to see you!”

She looked over at Jimin and waved him into the room. Before he walked in though, she turned to him and said,

”Don’t be afraid to talk to him. He might not be able to respond but he can definitely hear you.” 

She smiled and pat Jimin on the shoulder before she left. Jimin hovered in the doorway for a second nervously before he took a breath and walked into the room. 

There he saw Taehyung lying in bed, hooked up to various wires and machines that he couldn't recognize. He slowly walked a bit closer so that he stood next to tae's bed. There were gauze wrapped around the top of his head, as well as bandages thet seemed to cover the right side of his face from where the impact occured. Jimin sat down in a chair that was next to his bed and just looked at him for a while.

"Tae..." jimin whispered

"Can you hear me? They, they told me i should talk to you." he said as he gently pushed Taes hair away from his eyes. 

"Are you okay? Your not in any pain right?" jimin started choking up as he kept speaking. He knew he couldnt keep himself together for much longer.

 "Why...Why did you have to do that Taehyung? Why did you have to push jungkook out of the way? Why did it have to be you ?!" he said frustrated as the tears rolled down his cheeks. 

Jimin took taes limp hand in his own and gripped it tightly as he said,

"Why?! Tell me why tae!" his eyes were so raw and sore from crying so much yet, he couldn't find any way to stop.

"You have to wake up. you cant leave me alone like this! Arent we supposed to be there for each other no matter what? Its not fair! Everyone you love is so worried about you, they need you..." jimin paused and wiped away the tears from his face 

"...I need you. I cant do this all on my own Tae. Please... I need you...please wake up...please..." Jimin rested his forhead on tae's hand and cried until there were no more tears left. He felt like his whole world was crumbling under his feet and no one could help him. That was until suddenly he heard a strange fast beeping that sounded like an alarm coming from one of the monitors connected to taehyungs vitals. his head shot up from the bed and he looked at tae with panic.

"W-whats going on? Tae? Tae! Can you hear me?! Whats happening? Someone help!!!"

Almost immediately doctors and nurses came rushing into the room. 

"What are his vitals at?" one of the doctors asked 

" His heart rate is already at 130 over 60."  One of the nurses answered 

"Hurry and charge the defibrilator... And someone please get him out of here!" the doctor commanded as he pointed towards jimin.

"come with me please." one of the nurses said as she took jimin by the arm and basically dragged him out of the room.

"Tae!" jimin kept yelling his name 

she guided him all the way back to the waiting room where jungkook and Hoseok were still waiting for him. They saw jimins panicked state and rushed over to him immediatly. 

"please wait here sir. we will let you know if anything happens." the nurse said before she rushed back into the ICU.

"jimin what happened? whats wrong?" Hoseok asked

"Did something happen with Taehyng? Is he okay?" jungkook added

"Everything was fine, he was perfectly normal until...until..." jimin stuttered 

"until what? what happened?" jungkook asked

"it all happened so fast, the loud beeping from his monitor, the flurry of doctors running into the room... What if ... What if he doesn't....

"shh quiet now jimin. Everythings going to be okay. They wont let anything happen to him in there I promise." Hoseok said as he comforted Jimin with a hug.

"Hes right, taehyung is going to be okay." jungkook said with a smile

the three took their seats again and did the only thing they could think of, which was wait.

As a result from the overwhelming exhasustion from the terrible day they had, the three ended up falling asleep shortly after they sat down. They didn't mean to but their tiredness had got the best of them. It was when the sound of a nurse calling out

" Is anyone here for the Patient Kim Taehyung?" 

Jimin shot awake immediatley along with the other two and they quickly went over to the nurse.

"Yes that's us! Were here for Kim Taehyung!" jimin answered quickly

"Oh i see, okay then." she looked down at her clipboard and scribbled something on it before she looked back up again and said,

"The attending doctor would like to speak with you. would you three follow me please." she said as she ushered them inside the ICU.

just inside the unit stood the doctor they had talked to before. As soon as they reached him Hoseok didn't hesitate to ask,

"Whats the news doctor? please tell us hes okay." 

the doctor took a second before he answered and said

"I think you'll all be happy to know that your friend is doing just fine now." He smiled at the three and the joyous relief that overtook their faces.

"Are you serious! Hes really going to be okay?!" jungkook rejoiced

"Yes he will be fine. The episode he had earlier was due to a sudden increase in his heart rate. We believe it might have been caused by some form of sudden stress he had been keeping pent up. But with some rest and perscribed medication, he should be alright."

"That's great! but wait, is he still... in a coma?" Jimin asked nervously, suddenly remembering the situation earlier.

"why don't you check for yourself?" the doctor said 

the three had a confused look on their faces as the nurse showed them all to Taehyungs room. They stopped outside the door and with his name once more and the nurse said,

"Taehyung sweetie, you have visitors!" she smiled and left the door open for the three to walk inside. they all looked at each other before they walked in.

"What took you all so long?" was the first thing they heard before they saw tae sitting up in bed looking back at them wearing a childish smile.

"TAE! YOUR OKAY!" Hoseok immediatley yelled in celebration as he went over to hug the boy.

"Woah! watch the bandages!" Tae teased as he giggled in taes arms

"Taehyung im so happy your-" Jungkook said as he ran towards tae before he recieved a big knock on the head from Tae.

"OW! that hurt!" jungkook complained as he rubbed the spot.

"How do you think i feel?" Tae said jokingly. Jungkook shyded away but Tae pulled him in for a hug too.

"Next time, try not to stand in the middle of streets alright?" he said sweetly. Jungkook nodded and smiled.

It was then that Tae hyung looked over to see Jimin still standing in the doorway, still too afraid to come in.

"Guys if you dont mind, do you think we could have a minute alone?" Tae whispered to Hoseok

Hoseok looked over at Jimin and then back at Tae and nodded, understanding what he meant.

"Come on Jungkook lets go get some snacks from the cafeteria downstairs." He said

" But i'm not hungry." jungkook protested, obviously not getting the message.

"Come on lets just go!" hoseok insisted as he grabbed Jungkooks arm and pulled him out of the room.

once they left the room fell silent and Tae peeked over to see if Jimin was still there. 

"You know I can see you right? Why are you hiding over there? come here.' Tae said as he waved at Jimin to come over. Jimin slowly shuffled over towards his bed, still careful to avoid direct eye contact with Tae.

"Whats wrong Jimin? Aren't you happy to see me?" Tae asked Teasingly. Jimins face automatically turned red and he was quick to reassure Tae.

"Of course I'm happy! I'm unbelievably happy, its just..." jiin hesitated. Tae reached out and took jimins hand and pulled him closer so that he was sitting on the bed with him.

" Just what?" tae asked curiously

"Just, I was so...scared. I was afraid that I would never get to talk to you ever again. I thought for sure that you would... would..." jimin got all choked up just thinking about it. Tae raised his hand and held Jimins cheek, tilting his head up to look him in the eyes.

"There's no way, i would ever, leave you alone Jimin." He said lovingly

" whether i get hit by a car, bus, train, hell even if i got hit by a plane!..." jimin chuckled a little at tae's crazy made up scenarios

" I would still find a way back to you. No matter what." he said as he pressed their foreheads together gently.

"You Promise?" jimin asked smiling

"Promise." tae answered.

Tae moved the hairs out of jimins eyes and slowly leaned in until their lips met in a soft gentle kiss. It seemed like everything was really going to be okay, now that they had each other again.

One Year Later 

"Tae hurry up or were going to be late!" Jimin yelled 

"I'm coming, im coming!" he yelled back as he hurried down the stairs while putting on his jacket.

"Hurry lets go!" jimin rushed as he pushed tae out their front door and into the car.

They drove quickly until they finally reached the theater and practically ran to the front entrance.

"Do you have the tickets?!" Jimin asked Tae frantically

"Yeah, here." Tae said as he whipped them out of his jacket pocket and handed them to the ticket person.

"Enjoy the show!" he said before he opened the doors.

Jimin and Tae quickly made their way to their seats just in time when the lights turned down. The curtains opened and the upbeat music started playing. Jimin could recognize Hoseok even from their seats all the way in the back. They cheered loudly as he performed alongside his students. They cheered even louder when they saw Jungkook make his cameo appearance on stage as well. They both danced amazing and before they knew it, the show was over. The audiance had a standing ovation and everyone smiled as the performers came out once again for a Final bow.

After the show ended, Jimin and Taehyung met up with Hoseok and Jungkook outside of the theatre.

"WOW! You two actually made it!" Hoseok exclaimed happily.

"Of course! We wouldnt miss your performance for the world." jimin said with a smile. 

"And wow, Jungkook! I didn't know you could dance like that!" Tae said surprised

"I'm a Jack of all trades. It was no biggie." he said confidently before Hoseok pulled him into a headlock and said

"Oh really? it didnt look like that to me when you were tripping over your own feet in rehursal." He joked. Tae and jimin laughed.

"Anyway, you guys did amazing. Im so proud of you both" Jimin said endearingly

"Thanks." The two performers said before some of hoseoks students came over begging him to take pictures with them. The two pairs siad their goodbyes and parted ways. 

Jimin and Taehyung went back to their car and drove home.

" I cant believe they've gotten so good!" Jimin said as he walked through the door and placed his keys on the table.

"I know, they’ve grown so much in just a year." tae agreed. 

“Has it really been a year already?” Jimin said sounding astonished

”it doesn’t even feel like it’s been that long, but I guess it really has been a year huh.” He said

”Are we feeling a little nostalgic? Do you wish you could go back to the old days?” Taehyung teased 

Jimin smiled mischeviously and retorted back,

”you mean back to when I was your hostage and you got to have your way with me?” He grinned at his witty remark. Tae chuckled too and pulled Jimin close by his hips

”exactly, I know you secretly loved it.” 

The two broke out into laughs and hugged each other close.

”I’m really glad it did happened though.” Jimin confessed 

“really, why? “ Tae asked surprised

”Because then I wouldn’t have gotten to meet you.” He answered

tae shook his head back and forth

”honestly Jimin, I think your the only person in the world who would be grateful for being kidnapped.” He laughed 

“I guess I should be grateful for that though.” He smiled and kissed the top of Jimins forehead.

”Yes you should be.” Jimin smiled and reached up to kiss Tae back on the mouth.

”I love you Tae.” Jimin cooed as he nuzzled his head in Taes chest.

Tae hugged him tighter and said 

“I love you too.”
