The boys arrive at the second location

Like the first one, they let the police in and search.

Jk: they're longer, aren't they?

Y: maybe it's bigger?

H: or it's here.

Sejin's car parks next to the member's car, and Jin and Namjoon exit.

H: He shouldn't rest ??

N: he hears you and not when we are on the verge of finding Jimin.

The police leaves the building with a man, Lee, who was directly put one off the police cars.

Chul-Moo approaches the boys.

C: we need you to resonate your friend.

He's chain to the wall of the padded room, when we got inside, the lights were off and a screeching noise was ringing.
He looks hurt, but refuses to let us approach him.

They hurry in and their hearts are breaking when they hear Jimin scream and beg.

They move forward and end up entering the room.

Namjoon was shaking, thinking about what they did to Jimin in front of him, and seeing him in an even worse state than when he left him, broke his heart ever more.

Jin then runs his hand behind his back to comfort him.

They see Jimin with ripped clothes on the ground struggling against the police man who wanted to remove his chains. Chains who was hurting him.
The boys can see blood every where on him and on the ground.

JM:
           Noooooo

                       DON'T TOUCH ME !!!!

        NO !!!

                                 NO !!!!

Finally Namjoon walks up to the police officer

N : please let us do it.

They then move back a little and Jungkook approaches him slowly

JK: Jimin it's over, we're here, look.

Jimin stops screaming when he hears a familiar voice, but curls up against the wall. He hug his knees.
He knows his back has expose but he hope that maybe if he don't look maybe everything will disappear.

JK comes to his level and puts his hand on his bare shoulder.

Jimin no longer moves and closes his eyes, afraid.

JK [in a calm and soft voice] : Jimin look at me, please

Jimin after a few seconds ends up opening his eyes again, understanding that the hand touching him belongs to a friend. He stares at him as if he's analyzing him, then with a confused face.

JM : Kook you... you are....

Jungkook hugs him and Jimin freezes into the hug, looking into the void. He does like the touch anymore.
Touch it's pain.

JK: Yes Minie we are there, look.

Jungkook lessen his embrace and Jimin turns his head to look at his friends one by one, then ends up finding Namjoon and staring at him for a long moment before asking him.

JM: Namjoon you cam...

You ...                    
                                         you ...
                Why di...

His eyes close and his body loses what little strength it has left, he collapses in Jungkook's arms.

Jungkook looks at the others confused. Jin asks for the chains to be removed and tells Jungkook to carry him to the exit.

The rescuers join them and help JK put him on the stretcher. They bustle around him.

S1: He's very weak! We have to bring him to the hospital straight away!

They quickly pushed him towards the ambulance, leaving the rest of the group to follow them in the car.

No way for them to lose his track again.

************

After the medics finished examining Jimin, they let the members see him.

They also put a bed so Namjoon could rest.

When they got in. Jimin was there lying in that bed too big for him, machines keeping a close watch over him and a mask helping him breathe, bandages on his arms and neck and much more that was not visible.

Jin made Namjoon lie down, which he did without too much resistance, Jin stayed by his side to make sure he didn't get up.

Hoseok and Yoongi got down on the chair near the bed, leaving the maknae line between them.

They all took their places in silence, keeping an eye on Jimin.

Taehyung fell asleep, his head on their entwined hands. Jungkook put his head near Jimin's leg, he didn't want to hurt him. The hyung line watch the scene with a sad heart.

And They stayed like that all night.

*************

The next day, the police came to see them, asking everyone to testify.

C: We have the next room if you will follow me.

Everyone stands up except Namjoon.

N: No ! I'm staying with Jimin, I'm not leaving him anymore.

C: Very well, you already told me a lot yesterday, 5 depositions should be good enough.

The members place a kiss on Jimin's forehead one by one before followed the police officer.

Namjoon sits next to Jimin.

After some minute been alone, Namjoon see Jimin move a little.

[Jimin thought]

N: Jimin

wakes up.

Yes

there, that's it, look at me.

What did they do to you?

Tell me ?

.

N: we do what they demand until we find a way out.

I don't want

them to hurt you more.

.

K: This is only the beginning of beauty

.

L: If you ask for more

.

K: See, you're worth nothing.

They'll never come looking for you

.

You're pathetic.

A poor idiot who thinks he's loved ...

.

.

THEY HAVE PITY ON YOU

They asked us to do that!

So let yourself go!

.

.

.

N: Jimin?

Now I hear Namjoon again,

I'm losing my mind,

They are right,

he would never have come to get me.

He doesn't need me.

No

I feel a hand touching me, it disgusts me, they will agai....

N: Jimin? I know you are awake.

Jimin frowns,

he's really here, why?

He opens his eyes, but quickly closes them due to the strong light,

I'm no longer in this room ?

He blinks several times to get used to the light and ends up turning to the older man's gaze.

He looks at me with pity,

that's what made him come and get me,

pity.

Jm: Namjoon, what am I doing here?

He doesn't have time to tell him. When Jimin heard the sound of the door, the noise echoed through him, and he found himself again in this room.

Then he throws the blanket to the side and hides behind the chair where the leader is.

I'm not safe because Namjoon is there.

He will take me again,

Like they said ,

they will start over.

Namjoon stands next to him and puts his hand on Jimin's arm. But Jimin automatically starts to shake and starts screaming.

JM: NO !! NO !!

Let me go !!!

YOU CAN'T !!!

I GET IT !!!! I AM USELESS !!

LEAVE ME !!

He injects something

into my arm,
I'm going to wake up

in pain

again

...

...

*************

here we are at the end of the countdown.
