Brunette seized several big gulps of extra air before ringing the doorbell of a familiar apartment. 

He was feeling far more anxious than his first job interview. 

The door unlocked only a few seconds later and creaked open with a tiny gap. An eye peeked from inside and widened after scanning the figure outside before hastily removing the chain of the door. 

"Jungkook-ah!" Yugyeom exclaimed practically throwing himself on his missing homie.

"J-jungkookie..." The figure sobbed loudly in the brunette's embrace holding him tighter.

Younger comforted his best friend with soft back rubs before his eyes catches his other roommates running towards the door with astonishing tears running faces. 

They looked ugly but jungkook felt happy to know that his existence is important to someone in this cruel world to the core of making them all cry.

Before he can give an assuring smile to his approaching homies, they all hugged him practically suffocating the boy in the procedure. 

Mingyu tried to jump at the hugging trio which caused them all to lose balance and land on the floor of the corridor in front of the flared open door.

Anyone who looks at the scene might think they're acting crazy which a lady living on the same floor thought. 

She gave the boys an ugly look scanning their unholy position. The lady walked past the scarred boys and they just gave her an embarrassing smile.

"G-guys! Get off of me... Y'all are heavy as mammoth." Jungkook grunted out in pain buried under his three muscular roommates.

The boys untangled their limbs kicking each other in the process before helping their long-lost roommate back on his feet. 

They pulled the youngest inside and mingyu slammed the door shut before looking left and right at both ways of the corridor getting a little suspicious and paranoid.

Jungkook was settled on the couch with three curious pairs of eyes surrounding him full of questions. He sees this coming though. 

"Kook... A-are you okay? I mean... You're not seriously injured anywhere right? Do we need to get you to the hospital?" Bam bam asked with concerned-filled orbs. Their gazes were glued on the boy's figurine waiting for him to speak anything.

"No. I'm fine." 

The answer made a breath of relief pass through everyone's lungs. 

"He captured you right?" Mingyu threw the question with a knowing gaze.

There was an unbearable silence for a few seconds before mingyu articulated again.

"Kim taehyung. He was the one, wasn't he?" 

Now it was jungkook's turn to be stiff and concerned as he nodded slowly and cautiously watching his roommates reactions one by one.

Of course, they didn't look happy. 

"What did he do to you? I swear if he has done something to you then I'm fucking gonna murder that Bastard!" Yugyeom yelled out fist curling in anger.

"Yeah, kook. We won't let him slide away with this. Now that you're here we can prove that he's really a criminal. A fucking psychopath." Bam bam gritted jaw clenched tense. 

Jungkook gulped looking at his two friends ready to put up a fight against a an extremely powerful shrewd killer. He knows they don't stand a chance against taehyung but if they really dragged him to the police then things can get messy for his lover. 

And then, his boyfriend has to take the punishment for his actions in the hands of his cruel heartless father. 

That's the last thing jungkook wants. 

"No!" The brown-haired boy shouted making three figures flinch at the sudden rise in voice. 

"I-i don't want to go to the police station and I want you guys to... Withdraw the complaint and charges put against taehyung."

By now, three persons in the room already had their feet and their hearts frozen at the statement. 

The trio was as shaken as a coconut tree in a heavy storm.

"What the hell, jungkook! What are you even saying, Why do you want us to remove all those charges against that maniac?" Yugyeom was the first one to burst out.

"Did he threaten you, kook? Is it why you want us to withdraw the charges back but don't worry bro, we are here for you. You don't have to be scared anymore. We will -" bam bam couldn't finish his sentence when brown haired male yelled out of frustration holding his head.

"No! No! No!!! He didn't threaten me! I'm saying this on my own will so please go and take back those complaints and charges. Please." The glasses boy nearly cried begging and now the one among three who's been observing the youngest decided to speak up.

"Why are you behaving like this jungkook? Has he drugged you or something? Because you don't seem like yourself to me. You look... Totally different and... Strange." Mingyu said staring right into his friend's soul. 

He wasn't wrong. The boy does look very changed. 

"N-no he didn't drug me, mingyu. I-i ... I just want y'all to-... Please just do what I say." Brunette spoke failing to let the words out his brain was screaming to tell.

"No kook! We won't. We won't unless you tell us the reason. what is going on with you? What in world has happened... And we only want to hear the truth. Tell us everything. Tell us what happened after he abducted you." Bam bam blurted out in extreme confusion and he can't take any more of suspense.

"..." 

The boy sealed his lips as if he doesn't want to answer the continuously thrown questions.

"Jungkook! Tell us!! Please say something!!!" Yugyeom lost it and started shaking the silent boy from his shoulders who was on the verge of crying.

"I fell in love with him!" Brunette screamed in reply with tears falling freely from his doe eyes.

The three boys fell silent. Their eyes stuck on the sobbing boy who sat on the couch with his face buried in his palms and yugyeom sat at his feet. Mingyu and bam bam standing just at foot distance.

The silence felt too heavy. The atmosphere was suddenly so tense that they all can feel the corpulence in their chests. 

Yugyeom was the first to get free of the glued world around them. He looked at his both roommates only to find them looking at him with the same cold and dumbstruck faces. 

It took a minute for the trio to digest what their friend has just said. 

"W-what... H-how? ... Y-you -" bam bam baffled speaking out broken words as if his tongue has forgotten its work.

Mingyu was lost for a moment but then again, he analysed the younger from head to toe. Jungkook doesn't look like someone who has been abducted for a month now. 

The boy was wearing the most expensive clothes any victim of kidnapping can ask for. Not to mention his branded shoes, shining expensive watch and well-groomed hair. His looks glimpsed too clean.

Also, jungkook came back with a red small American Tourister bag. Now, anyone who has been kidnapped won't be back with freaking luggage like they've been on a trip right? 

Mingyu suspected that either Kim taehyung has brainwashed their friend or the man had to be a part of some crazy cult doing black magic. Because if not then nothing can explain the current situation. It seems impossible for any of them to accept their friend willingly falling for the most notorious psychopath serial killer in the country.

"Jeon jungkook, have you gone nuts? Do you even know what are you saying?" Yugyeom spurted clutching onto younger's forearms.

"Yeah, bro. If you're pulling some stupid prank on us then it's not funny." Bam bam joined but jungkook got offended.

"Do I really look like I'm joking? How do you think I have survived? Has anyone ever survived after getting caught in his claws? Only their bodies were found. I'm being serious here and if you guys want to know what happened then listen quietly and shut your mouths for half an hour. I don't want anyone talking shit about my boyfriend." Jungkook warned in a threatening voice and his three friends couldn't believe their bunny-looking soft homie's unusual behavior. Is he being protective over a psychopath?

Everyone fell quiet and listens to jungkook's bizarre love story which is nowhere near romantic for a trio. 

When the boy was done, everyone was a mess. No words, not even a single comment or question just pure silence. 

Brunette didn't bother to look at their reactions either. He knew his love story isn't the greatest out there so he just removed yugyeom's hold from his arms and walked towards his room with a tiny bag trailing behind.

Trio just shared a look with each other and went into their respective rooms. They need some time to arrange their thoughts and come to their individual opinion on this. Their brains have gone haywire and completely short circuit so it'll take some time to revise to the new truth.

On the other hand, jungkook called his lover informing him he is home safely. They talk a bit before taehyung has to return to his work.

He has been drowned in the load of work since they've come back. Taehyung's father has been putting lots of pressure on him. Luckily his hyungs and his best friend along with his boyfriends are helping him as much as they can.

A week passed in a blink of an eye. 

Jungkook's friends/ roommates are still trying to get normal with their friend dating a serial killer. 

Mingyu was successful to put his hands upon a few buried unsolved murder cases from his connections and he found out that taehyung not only killed them but tortured them to the core, victims were left crying and begging for death. 

The sentence itself shiver at how brutally each of them was killed. There were also some events and suspects which claimed that Ravenette might be heavily indulged in the underworld because he has been a well-known figure there.

It isn't hard to guess when your entire family is into a successful political business right? Corruption Can never be white. 

Mingyu felt the seriousness of the situation. Their friend has already fallen into the pit of hell from nobody will be able to save him. 

"Fuck it." The male cursed shutting all the dusty files and records harshly. 

He straight went to his friends and told them what he just found out. Bam bam and yugyeom were now scared and worried for jungkook and the trio decided that no matter what, they have to pull jungkook out of the devil's grip before they lose their homie.

They take it as a mission to make jungkook realise how dangerous it can be to stay even a mile around taehyung. They pushed all the limits to understand how his life will be always at stake around the man. 

But, was jungkook having any of it?

The straight-line answer was NO.

He fucking reply back with more insane answers which were so fucked up for any normal person to even think.

"Jungkook, You need to understand this bro! Please. You don't know what you're getting yourself into. He is not what you think he is." 

"That's enough! I've been tolerating all of your shitty excuses and stuff just because you guys are my friends. I thought, out of all people at least you guys will understand but no y'all are the same...Making my taehyungie villain. You don't even know what he is... You don't know what he's been through. You fucking don't know anything so shut it for god's sake! He's not a bad person he's just- Lost. I want to be there for him and guide him through his darkness. 

I know it's hard for y'all to accept this but I love him and I don't care about what he is, what he does or what the world see him as. I don't give a fuck about those things. I just know that I want to be with him." Jungkook let out with fire evoking in his ever soft doe eyes. Taehyung has provoked something in jungkook that couldn't be defined. His love has planted a fire in the pure Angel's soul. The kind of fire which will burn down the world if they tried to separate them.

As they say, to understand someone's darkness, you must drown in the same dark that have drowned them. And if you're lucky enough... You will survive and if not then you'll be swallowed by the same darkness.

Taehyung's darkness was slowly but gradually affecting jungkook. He doesn't know he's sinking but others can see and it was a terrifying sight.

TBC...
