“Hush, daddy. It’s fine now, I’m here for you” Jungkook whispered.

He hugged him tighter, sighing out in relief, but Jimin suddenly broke the hug.

“Jungmin… What if the boar goes back to him? What if the beast kills my baby and…

“Jungmin is fine” he held his arms, and Jimin sniffed.

“Huh?”

FLASHBACK, TEN MINUTES AGO*

Jungkook’s car stopped by the entrance of the mountains, and just like Jimin, he was about to run in when two other cars arrived, conveying Angelina and Bishop plus several securities from the company.

The securities poured into the mountains immediately.

They actually rushed after him earlier when he ran out of the company.

“Boss, it’s too dangerous in there you should allow the securities to handle this” Angelina said.

“My boy and Jimin are in there!” Jungkook replied and rushed in without waiting.

Angelina and Bishop followed, but none are as fast as him, even the securities couldn’t keep up because he’s going in a different direction.

“Jungmin!!!!!” He screamed, facing another direction again.

His fingers went into his hair frustratingly, and he breathed out.

“Jungmin!!!!!”

“Father!!” His voice came from behind, and he turned to see him running towards him with Lia.

“Jungmin” he quickly went on his knees, and Jungmin ran into his arms.

“Father” he cried.

“Why did you do it? Why would you come here! Why would you sneak out of school!” Jungkook said loudly, breaking the hug.

“I’m so sorry father, I was…

“Where’s Jimin? Did you see him?” He asked.

“He saved us from the boar” Lisa replied.

“What! Boar?” Jungkook’s eyes widened, and he spranged up just when Angelina and Bishop got to them.

“Stay with the kids” he said and ran off in that direction.

FLASHBACK ENDS*

“That was how I found you” Jungkook said, and Jimin started wiping his tears.

“I’m glad, I’m glad he’s fine” he nodded, and then the growl came beside them again.

They both stood at once to see the boar again, standing there with obvious fury like it’s ready to devour them.

Jungkook quickly pushed Jimin behind himself.

“It’d kill us” he muttered fearfully.

“It won’t, trust me” Jungkook replied, focusing on the boar while making sure he doesn’t break eye contact with it.

Jimin looked up at his face after hearing those assuring words from him, and when Jungkook felt his eyes on himself, he looked back at him.

Immediately their eyes met, the boar charged forward, jumping in the air to pounce, but then a gunshot came, and the bullet rammed straight into it’s head.

The boar fell from the air to the ground lifelessly, and the securities showed up.

“Are you ok sir?” Their head who shot the gun asked as they came down.

“We’re fine” Jungkook replied, facing Jimin.

“I’m fine” he said, but then Jungkook saw the wound on his arm. His eyes travelled down his legs and he saw several scratches.

He’s barefooted, so it’s sure he’d have wounds on his foot too.

“You’re not fine” he said, squatting in front of him to check out the wounds

“I’m fine” Jimin stepped back, but he whimpered immediately he took that step. His foot hurts.

“Stop being stubborn” Jungkook replied and made to carry him, but Jimin stopped him by stepping back again.

“Don’t touch me, I’m fine on my own” he said quickly and started limping away on his own.

He made to go for him again, but Jimin turned back at once, facing him.

“Don’t do it, I mean it” he said sternly, and Jungkook relented, watching him limp away while he followed him behind with the securities.

“Mr. Smart!” Jungmin ran to him when they got back to where the kids are.

“Jungmin” he smiled, and shockingly, he hugged him, wrapping his arms on his tummy as his head stayed on his chest.

“I’m glad you’re fine. I’m so sorry for causing this trouble. Thanks for saving me from the boar” he said gratefully, and Jimin wasted no time to hug him back, stroking his hair gently

It’s the closest contact he has ever had with him, and having him hug him like this brought back memories of when he was still a child, how they got so addicted to each other.

He almost got killed, and if he came a little bit late, who knows what’d have happened?

Jimin hugged him tightly, and tears almost came out of his eyes as they stayed that way.

“We should get out of here now, the kids and Mr. Jimin needs to be treated” Bishop said, and they broke the hug.

“Let’s go, I’ll carry you” Angelina bent in front of Jimin, and he climbed his back without arguing.

Jungkook felt a sting on his skin immediately, and he swallowed hurtfully, watching as Angelina carried Jimin away.

Bishop took Lisa, and he looked over at Jungmin who’s looking all guilty.

“Father” he muttered.

Jungkook sighed before carrying him without saying a word.

“Father” Jungmin called again as they walked away with the securities.

No answer came from him, so Jungmin touched his face.

“Father, please look at me” he said, but Jungkook remained stiff.

“Father I’m sorry, I promise not to…

“Stop talking” Jungkook cut him off without looking at him, and tears escaped his eyes immediately.

He cried throughout the walk out of the forest, but Jungkook didn’t spare him a glance till they got to the car and he placed him in.

“We’ll take care of Mr. Jimin, you don’t have to worry boss” Angelina told Jungkook as he dropped him in their car.

Jungkook looked at Jimin in the car, and he turned his face away.

The two got in, and they drove away with Jimin.

He got in the car with Jungmin and Lisa too, driving away.

*

NEAREST HOSPITAL, 10 MINUTES LATER*

Jungkook is currently sitting in a ward where Jungmin and Lisa are getting treated, but he’s not even looking at the kids.

Thinking about how Jimin declined getting carried by him but got on Angelina’s back easily is strangely painful.

Does he hate him that much?

He only hugged him earlier because he was scared, and he was there, so he used him to overcome the fear.

It hurts, and he couldn’t stop thinking about it till Lisa’s mum (Mrs. Manoban) entered the ward.

“Mummy!” Lisa shouted. Her treatment is complete already.

“How could you sneak out of school Lisa!! Are you out of your mind? Huh? I almost got into an accident rushing here!! Do you have plans to kill me? Lisa!!” She cried as she hugged her.

“I’m so sorry mum, I was just… We wanted to have fun” she replied.

“What happened to theme parks? Amusement parks? What happened to internet cafes?” Mrs. Manoban scolded.

“I’m so sorry mum” Lisa turned her face down.

Jungmin got done with his own treatment, and Jungkook stood.

“Thanks so much, Mr. Jeon. Heard you did a lot in the rescue” Mrs. Manoban faced him.

“You should come thank my P.A, he’s the real savior” Jungkook replied and walked out.

Jungmin had to run after him till they got to the car, and he held him back.

“Father please talk to me, I’m so sorry I won’t try it again I …

“Let’s just go home” Jungkook said and got into the car with him.

Throughout the ride, he said nothing to him, and when they got home, he started climbing the stairs immediately.

“Father!” Jungmin blocked him with tears all-over his face.

“I’m sorry” he sniffed.

“You say this every single time, and you end up doing something even worse Jungmin. Do you remember what you did with this same Lisa last month? You both went to the sea without telling anyone and she almost drowned! Now you didn’t only put your life in danger but Jimin’s life too! What were you thinking! What if the boar hurt you! What if it hurt Jimin! What if Jimin didn’t come that fast? What would have happened” Jungkook said angrily, and Jungmin cried more.

“I’m so sorry father, I promise this will be the last time I do things without informing you please don’t stay mad at me”

“The maids will make you dinner, just eat and go to bed Jungmin” Jungkook replied and went upstairs.

“Father!!!” Jungmin cried more, sitting on the stairs.

*

HAVEN HOSPITAL*

Jimin was brought there by Angelina and Bishop, and he finished getting his wounds treated just now.

“Are you sure you’re fine? You don’t have to stay at the hospital till tomorrow morning?” Bishop asked as he stood.

“Till tomorrow morning? C’mon it’s not that serious” he replied with a light smile as they walked out of the ward together.

“Bishop, is there enough gas in the car for the journey back home?” Angelina asked, but no reply came from him, so he looked his way to see him staring at a lady in the hallway.

She’s got curves and orange-like b**bs, looking so attractive.

“Motherf**ker!” Angelina smacked his head.

“What the hell!” Bishop turned swiftly to him, rubbing the head

“You were staring at her ass!” Angelina shot.

“I was staring at her skirt, it was too short and I was planning to go tell her about it” Bishop replied.

“So you’re telling me my eyes don’t work well?”

“Well yes” Bishop rolled eyes, and Jimin got between them.

“You guys shouldn’t start again, it’s an hospital” he said.

“By the way are you being like that to boss because you wanna punish him?” Angelina asked.

“I dunno, I just… His hurtful words always ring in my head everytime he comes too close” he replied.

“You should go easy. He’s your child's father after all, and we’ve been working with him for years. Though he treated you badly back then and we’re witnesses, but that’s probably because he had a rough past too. Mr. Jeon is a nice person” Bishop said, and Jimin was about to reply when Taehyung appeared with Nancy.

“Mr. Min? What happened to you? Why the plasters and…” He asked, eyes so wide as he checked him out.

“You guys can go, we’ll see at work when I resume” he told Angelina.

“I’ll take him” Taehyung said.

“Sure, see ya tomorrow” Bishop waved and left with Angelina.

“What happened?” Taehyung asked again.

“Are you ok? Mr. Hwang” Nancy asked.

“It’s a minor accident but I’m fine. Did you guys come to see your mum? I should say hi” he smiled.

“She’s asleep now, maybe some other day” Taehyung replied.

“Sure” Jimin smiled.

“Don’t get hurt, Mr. Min” Taehyung said, and he nodded with a smile as they left the hospital together.

*

JUNGKOOK’S MANSION*

Jungkook held his phone with an hand as he stared at Jimin’s contact.

He couldn’t sleep, and that’s why he’s here, pacing the living room.

He gave him a day off, so he won’t be coming to work tomorrow, and he’s as worried as hell about his wounds.

With the way he behaved in the mountains earlier, he’s not sure he’d pick his calls.

Nevertheless, he inhaled before dialling the number.

It went through immediately.

“Hello? Jimin are you fine? How are your wounds and…

“Who’s this?” Wang’s voice interrupted, and Jungkook sighed before speaking.

“His boss”

The call ended immediately. Wang hung up on him, and he dropped his phone, leaning on the backrest of the couch.

Jungmin is in his room already, so he’s the only one in the living room.

“Dinner is ready, sir” a maid reported behind him, and he turned to her.

“And what might that be?”

“Veggies and omelette” the maid replied.

“Pour it out, I don’t feel like eating” he said.

“Yes sir” the maid replied and left.

Jungkook continued pacing worriedly, looking at his phone.

*

JIMIN’S PLACE*

Jimin came out of the bathroom to his room only to meet Wang in there with his phone, and he quickly snatched it from him.

“What are you doing here and why my phone?” He glared.

“Has your boss been f**king you?” He replied, and Jimin squinted.

“What!”

“Why would he call you to ask how you’re doing this late night…

“I got wounded and he knows about it! Maybe he’s not a monster like you!” He fired, and he made to slap him, but Jimin shifted back, so the hand met emptiness.

“He’s f**king you, no doubt about it” he said, and Jimin smirked.

“So what if he’s f**king me? I’m not yours and you have no right to talk shit because you do worse!”

“I understand it’s been nine good years since you last had a d**k in your assh*le and you’re a horny b**ch right now but giving it to your boss when I’m here is so not right!” He shot.

“Who’d wanna sleep with a baboon like you?” Jimin scoffed.

“What!”

“Yes! And instead of doing this, why don’t you tell me why you took Jennie from her father!” He shouted.

“To punish him because he ran away with my remaining money after dad disowned me! He made me broke so I took the most precious thing to him!” He replied and stormed out of the room.

Jimin sat on the bed with a loud exhale, closing his eyes.

“He treated you badly back then, and we’re witnesses, but that’s probably because he had a rough past too” Bishop’s words from earlier swirled in his head, and he opened his eyes, checking his phone.

He was about to call Jungkook back when Jennie’s phone rang beside her, the one Jungmin gave her.

He picked the call curiously, and Jungmin’s crying sounds hit his ears.

“Jungmin?” He stood.

“Mr. Smart… Father is so mad at me right now and he’s not even talking to me!!! I’m sorry for all the troubles I put you through and I promised him not to try it anymore but he’s not looking at me, please come help me talk to him I won’t be able to sleep if he continues snubbing me like this!!” He cried.

FIVE MINUTES LATER*

Jimin was already dressed in shorts and top when he came out of the apartment.

He rushed out of the house and met Ann just coming out of a taxi.

“Where are you going? And what’s with the plasters on your skin? What happened?” She asked.

“I’ll see you later and we’d talk, Ann” Jimin replied hurriedly and got into the taxi, telling the driver to go fast.

They barely spent 20 minutes on the road before arriving, and a maid sent by Jungmin opened the gate for him.

Another maid opened the main door for him, and he stepped in to meet Jungkook pacing around the living room.

“Jimin?” He said shockingly.

“Mr. Smart” Jungmin said, coming down the stairs.

“Jungmin said you haven’t been talking to him, and…

“And you came here this late because of that? Why would you call him after what he went through in the mountains?” Jungkook faced Jungmin.

“I came here on my own, he didn’t force me so please…stop being cold to him. I believe he realized his mistakes already” Jimin said.

“Go upstairs Jungmin, for some minutes” Jungkook said.

“Yes father” he replied and went upstairs.

“I called, but your husband picked” Jungkook said, walking to him.

“Sorry about that, he’s…

“He didn’t get the wrong idea, did he?” He cut him off when he stood in front of him.

“No. And if you called to ask about my wounds, I’m fine and I don’t think I’ll be skipping work tomorrow” he said, looking up at him.

“You shouldn’t have stressed yourself to come here” he said softly.

“I couldn’t say no to him” he replied, and Jungkook smiled, leaning slowly into him.

“Fine, I’ll talk to him on one condition” he said, and Jimin bent back.

“What… condition?” Jimin replied curiously, blinking repeatedly as he leaned closer again.

“I wanna carry you” he said straight, and his eyes widened.

Jimin tried bending back again for space, but he lost balance and his legs almost left the ground..

Jungkook quickly slid his arm on his waist, and immediately he brought him back to his feet, he slid his second arm on his thighs behind and lifted him off the ground, into his arms.

“Jungkook!” He gasped, grabbing his shirt in the front quickly.

He grabbed the wrong spot, so the four upper buttons of the loose white shirt pulled off roughly, falling on the ground.

His chest came to view, and their eyes met.

He was smiling charmingly, but Jimin still has the f**king shocked look on his face.

“You’re so easy to kidnap, too tiny” he chuckled, adjusting his body in his arms, and Jimin eyes left his face, going down to his open chest.

Jimin swallowed hard immediately he saw it. He couldn’t stop staring hard at the s*xy work of art.

The words that came out of his mouth next were crazy as he stared non-stop…

“Oh, my gawd” he muttered.
