Third person P.O.V

Taehyung was still on his bed. He didn't let his eyes close for a moment.. afraid of being beaten.. however, his heart was telling him that no one will beat him but still he was terrified of the bloodied scene before... those screams were echoing in his mind.

His body kept trembling with fear, suddenly he thought of his new phone and quickly picked it up to call his one and only worthy friend Jimin. After a bit of struggle to recall the contact number, he dialed the number he remembered so far... but to his dismay, the number was off. He dialed again and again but no response. With a heavy heart, he placed the phone on side of his pillow.. again burying his head in the pillow... quietly crying as he was choking on his sobs.

The whole night was like a nightmare for the lonely boy. He shut his eyes to try to fall asleep but in turn, that horrible scene came in front of his eyes, making him feel sick. He wanted to throw up... the uneasy feeling of throwing that bile in his stomach was rising, so he quickly removed the blankets and rushed to the bathroom.. throwing out all of his last meal.

After washing his face, he came back and sit down on the bed... covering his body in a blanket completely.

"He won't hurt you Taehyung. He is caring towards you and won't hurt you without any reason.. moreover, you are being a good boy, and he is fine with that." Taehyung was saying to himself to calm down his restless soul.

It was already 5 in the morning so Taehyung got up from bed. Quickly did his morning routine and grabbed his bag. He silently left the house quite early, oblivious to the fact that a certain raven-haired was watching his every movement.

Jungkook was watching him the whole night.. he even thought to talk with him and even came to his door but seeing him so much afraid, he left without saying anything to the blue-haired boy.

Taehyung was walking on the road with his hands in his jacket pockets, mind still roaming around many questions and their possible answers. As he was getting a little tired of walking so he thought to take a bus from the next bus stop. Ignoring the cold, he quietly sat down at the stop, looking at the almost dark road. It was winter so the sun wasn't up till 5:30, leaving the surroundings dark and silent.

The cool breeze of winter was caressing his cheeks a little harshly, making them red along with his pointed nose.

Soon the bus arrived and he settled on a seat. After 20 minutes, he was standing on his campus which was still almost empty, as it was too early.

Taking slow steps, he made his way to his department, finding a preferable location, he sat on a bench and grabbed his things out of his bag. To feel at ease and avoid the horrendous scenes from the last night, he started sketching the only person.. he wanted to sketch.

Soon after, the department became a little crowded as it was already 7:30.. He was shocked that he already spent a lot of time sketching and almost completed it within that span.

After that classes started and time passed.

During break time, he again tried Jimin's number but still got no answer.

Did he change his number? 

What if he doesn't want to talk with me?? 

No no.. he is Jimin, he promised me that he will never forget me. Then what's the reason.. why his number is off? Maybe he is busy with his job.

His thoughts were interrupted by a loud voice of a boy, calling his name from a distance.

He squinted his eyes to focus on the unknown boy. That boy was waving at him with so much enthusiasm that everyone laughed who witnessed that, including Taehyung. Once, the other was close enough to see his face, he come to know that it was Bogum.. smiling and waving.

Taehyung smiled and moved towards him, the other one quickly engulfed him in a warm hug that made him flinch a little but soon relaxed as he really wanted someone on his side but he wasn't feeling like sharing his recent condition with Bogum.

Once pulled back, he noticed that Bogum was hiding something behind him and when he greeted him, Bogum handed him 3 bags.

"Tae, this is for you." Ignoring the nickname, Taehyung frowned at that.

"But why?" Taehyung asked in confusion while looking at Bogum.

"Come on, this is like our friendship gift and it's just a little token of my lo- I mean our friendship. Come on accept it, please. Don't make me feel like you don't want to be my friend." The older of the two pouted and Taehyung thought that he might hurt his feelings if he don't take it.. though he didn't want to take those gifts.

"This isn't like that. Ok, I will take it. Thanks a lot, Bogum." Taehyung smiled weakly and Bogum jumped in happiness... doing a yahoo.

"No... Thanks to you for accepting my friendship." He said with a bright smile, his hand holding Taehyung's right hand and caressing the back of his palm but the touch wasn't like Jungkook's, and unnoticeably, he weakly pulled back his hand from grasp. Bogum cleared his throat in realization and quickly left his hand.

"Did you have your lunch?" Bogum asked after a moment of awkward silence.

"Um. Yes.. well I have my class now. See you later. Bye." Taehyung said and quickly rushed to his department. During this, Jungkook's sketch fell on the ground and Bogum noticed that a page fell and he quickly picked it up.

"Wait! Tae, your page!" He yelled but Taehyung was already gone. Huffing out a small sigh when the other disappeared, he looked at the page in his hand. In an instant, his eyes widened when he recognized the person in the sketch.

"Jungkook??? Does Tae know him? But how?" He was totally surprised by that fact but he really wanted to return it so he run to Taehyung's department.

Taehyung was placing those gift bags in his locker when Bogum came to him huffing while panting.

"Wh- what happened? Why are you out of breath?" Taehyung slightly frowned in concern when he saw Bogum panting badly with his hand on his knees.

"Y- ou left tha-t behind. I ran to get you before your class." Bogum managed to say in between his panting.

Taehyung become frozen for a moment but he snapped out of his trance and quickly snatched that paper from Bogum's hand who just looked up at him with an open mouth.

"I- I am sorry. It's just personal... I mean.. that... I have a class. Thanks."  Taehyung was too confused over his own reaction so he just said whatever came into his mouth and quickly run, leaving Bogum alone.

His reaction said it all. He knows him. But how a pure soul like him knows that beast? 

Bogum thought but left the place, he wanted to ask many questions from Taehyung but not now, because it wasn't the time.

At the end of the day, it was again late for Taehyung who was tired but still not hungry. Thinking of eating food was making him sick.

It was 6 in the evening when he packed his bag and was about to leave his art class when his phone rang. The name was saved as J. Taehyung was confused because he didn't save any contact except for Jimin. Who he can be?  Within a few seconds, his eye twitched on realization he quickly picked up the call.

"Hel- lo?"

"Taehyung are you free now?"

"Yes. Mr. Jeon."

"Fine. I am outside of your campus. Come here, I am waiting."

"But I could've taken a bus... you don't hav-"

"I said, I am waiting." 

Jungkook hung up after saying that and Taehyung was still standing at the same point, his mind again gave him a long list of questions.

What the? Should I go? Should I just run away... it's my chance.. but where would I go? If I run.. I won't be able to continue my studies. Moreover, he is paying for my every need. He trusted me enough to give me a phone. He sighed in annoyance, but soon he made a decision.

"I can't... I can't leave him. My heart is not ready."

Jerking his head, he quickly made his way to the main gate of the campus. Jungkook was still in his black car. Taehyung slowly knocked on the car window and Jungkook unlocked it quickly, opening the door of the passenger seat from his seat.

Taehyung didn't say anything but silently sat down on the seat... head hanging low, founding his lap more interesting than anything else.

Jungkook noticed that and how he wouldn't if the huge pout was there. He side glanced at the boy and found him playing with his jacket zipper. Feeling bothered by that, he finally broke the silence.

"Why you left without breakfast? Didn't I tell you not to skip your m-" Taehyung cut his words but with a low voice.

"I was sick."

"Why didn't wake him up?" Jungkook stopped the car suddenly making Taehyung afraid.

"I am sorry." Taehyung quickly apologized, fear was visible on his face as he kept his eyes on his lap. Jungkook's expression softened in an instant when Taehyung's fingers clutched on his pants. He sighed before leaning towards Taehyung and he being a panicked lad, thought of something else and quickly covered his face with both hands.

But nothing harsh came in contact with his face or body instead he heard a soft click but his seatbelt loosened. Even after that nothing was heard so he slowly removed his hands from his face when a soft touch tried to do so.

Taehyung slowly opened his eyes only to meet with the beautiful dark orbs of the other. His heartbeat again quickened, making him gulp on the reduced distance.

"Why you thought so? Didn't I tell you before that it won't happen again?" Jungkook muttered in a soft voice that Taehyung wanted to hear that again and again, feeling immense peace in the softness, his eyes didn't leave that view, totally awestruck.

"Did you eat anything in college?" Jungkook asked politely still in the same position, his face close to Taehyung's, and God knows how Taehyung managed to process the question and shake his head in the answer so honestly, too lost in the moment. He heard Jungkook sigh loudly and back off, leaving him a blinking mess.

In the next moment, Jungkook was standing on another side of the car and opened the door for Taehyung gesturing for him to move out of the car.

The younger slowly stepped out on the ground and looked up at the colorful shop. It didn't take long before his eyes widened and his lips turned into a boxy smile.

"Ice cream??" Taehyung looked up at Jungkook with so much excitement and hopeful eyes that Jungkook couldn't help but smile, he curtly nodded and grabbed Taehyung's hand, guiding him to the shop, feeling his lips twitching at the child-like sparkling eyes of the younger.

"Flavour?" 

"Strawberry... and vanilla." Taehyung beamed when the older asked. He was so much happy and Jungkook noticed every little giggle that left his plump lips. They ordered and went back to the car.

Jungkook didn't get any but Taehyung ordered two for himself as Jungkook said him to take as much as he want, so how could he lose the chance?

Blue bangs moved here and there whenever Taehyung took the spoon filled with his favorite snack. Jungkook was again driving but he was also looking at the happy boy amusingly. A small smile on his lips but he tried not to show that to the blue-haired.

"Slow down, look at your face, your nose is already red," Jungkook shook his head when he looked at Taehyung with a red nose and closed eyes may be due to a brain freeze but the most tempting thing was ice cream on his lips. Jungkook licked his lips and quickly stopped the car again, causing Taehyung to open his eyes in confusion. 

"It's been years since I last have ice cream. It's normal... isn't it?" Taehyung mumbled while licking his lips and again took another spoon of ice cream. He wanted to eat it when he caught Jungkook staring at him. He blinked his eyes in confusion but being the innocent bean he was, he had something else in his mind.

"Here, it's yummy.. if you wanted that why you didn't buy one for yourself?" Taehyung softly said while moving that spoon in front of Jungkook's mouth. Jungkook was taken aback and raised his brow and looked at the spoon.

"Come on, I would get a stomach ache if I eat that all on empty stomach.. moreover I ordered two so that you can also eat. Now have it.." Taehyung again moved his hand up and down slightly while nodding his head with puppy eyes.

Jungkook without any thought took that spoon in his mouth. Licking the spoon in his mouth and Taehyung smiled not knowing what the raven-haired was doing. Jungkook left the spoon and Taehyung used the same spoon to eat more while handing Jungkook the other cup of ice cream.

Jungkook being a very mature mind, smirked at the thought of an indirect kiss and Taehyung noticed that sudden change in his expression.

"See you are smiling at the taste. Who in the world doesn't like ice cream?" Taehyung rolled his eyes, moving his hand in the air to prove his point.

Both of them ended with ice cream and left for the mansion. Jungkook was happy that how an ice cream changed his whole mood.. completely forgetting about the horrible night. Just a small act of affection and Taehyung was all happy.

What a simple-minded boy.

Taehyung skipped to his room after thanking Jungkook, changing into more comfortable clothes and coming back to the kitchen to meet Hoseok.

Jungkook was also changed into sweatpants and he also made his way to the kitchen to get his juice. Walking toward the kitchen, his steps halted, beyond surprise to hear the deep voice of a certain boy who was jumping here and there in the kitchen whining.

"Ah hyung~ I am hungry~ why are you so slow... let me do it.."

"No Tae.. you will hurt yourself. Just a few minutes ok.. if you can survive for 20 hours then surely you can survive for 10 more minutes." Hoseok chuckled and continued doing his work, quite amused by the bubbly boy.

"Hungry hungry hungry ~~~" Taehyung was whining loudly, totally forgetting about the Mafia Boss in the mansion, and totally oblivious to his presence.

Jungkook was just watching him with a smile on his face. In his past years, he never thought that his slave can give him such kind of happiness, the same happiness that he lost a long time ago. Deep down in his heart, he felt like he got someone worthy... innocent... honest... and loveable and he was happy about that.
