Jin was glad they went out. He was glad his brother woke up. At least it gives him time to catch his breath and recover especially from the water torture.

Now he just needs to endure it and wait

-

They both had a splendid dinner as always. Jungkook made sure that his petal would ignore the house's presence so he was brought to a fancy restaurant outside.

They've been eating at home for a while because of dispatch that constantly follows them. Even now Jungkook can easily spot one of the staff that tails them.

"It's been a while." Taehyung giggles as he excitedly cuts the medium rare steak "I really really like their deserts!"

It brings joy to the man's heart "Then order as much as you like. Your joy is my joy."

And Taehyung did. He's using Jungkook's money to his content not because he's shameless, because he's getting used to it. If he holds back, sometimes Jungkook would frown or give him a few lectures for that.

"Are you feeling better now?" Jungkook was still concern. He checks the boy's fever again with his palm for his temperature.

Taehyung nods cheerfully "I'm so much better now. Don't worry." It seems to not be a lie since his temperature has decrease from it's previous boiling state. That's a good sign.

-

He's getting tired of going down just to continue the torture. It's because Seokjin knows he just needs to ensure and that he won't kill him. If anything, once he speaks the truth he'll be killed right on the spot.

"You're pitiful. Do you think that I'll speak so easily? Over my dead body!"

Jungkook has an irk of irit still to how long the torture has been continuing with no progress.

"Do you perhaps love him? Do you love Jimin to the point that your life does not compare to his safety?"

Jin doesn't answer. He was too busy enduring the needles that were stabbed to his body.

"Answer me!!" He uses it again to stab the man's nipples. Another loud scream echoes.

"Your brother will die if you don't speak up." He stares coldly to the unconscious man but it appears he was too rough on his actions. It's been a while since anger had taken over his course of actions.

He's been taking his time for so long. He's bound to break the next morning.

He goes upstairs, passed by the hidden door to the basement and to the same bed as his Petal.

"Kookie..? You're still awake?"

Jungkook nods and only cuddles for the night instead of their usual sexual touching that they both love.

Taehyung kisses him good night.

The next morning Jungkook was about to head down to the basement but as he about to do so, it seems he was followed.

"Petal? Why are you here?" He was surprised. Just when he was about to go continue to basement, the boy who has been woken by a voice approaches him.

"You weren't by my side..  I heard something.. I was scared.." He runs to his lover and their body connects. "I'm scared of g-ghosts.."

Except that it wasn't a ghost. What he heard was likely his brother who's voice had somehow got through the cloth in his mouth into a pitiful unregistered mumble.

"It's ok petal. It is not a supernatural being."

"B-But you don't know that!"

Oh how precious he is.

It makes him seemed to beg for a kiss which Jungkook willingly gives to his pouty lips. Only soft mewls and closed eyes were present in their melting moment.

"Hmmhghh!!" Again, it was another sound that was more clear in the hallways than in the living room.

"Kookie, I hear it again! Am I hearing things or do you hear it too?"

Jungkook who was very pissed by the interruption of romantic moment had to pull away given no other choice.

He has no choice but to put Taehyung in a deep state of sleep. It's unfortunate that for him to only be awaken for a few moments to be forced to his eyes closing with the help of a soaked cloth.

This is to prevent him from walking down to the basement. He just needs to make Seokjin speak before ending his life. He can still lie through it.

The spit of fire burns down to his chest. Something bad is about to happen, the fallen plate that shatters by no physical contact has said enough. He doesn't believe in ghosts but he believe in an omen.

It was a good choice to have the boy passed out. Now he lays him on the sofa.

And as he has expected, Seokjin had bitten the cloth in his mouth enough for his lips to be visible and let him to be gagged.

"You are very loud even in your weak condition." Jungkook merely pulls the cloth away and digs his fingers in the wounds that has only started to dried up.

Seokjin screams out loud to the unbearable pain. It was a wise decision to put his Petal to an unconscious state because there is still more to the torture because he will answer the truth.

"I despise your voice."

"I heard my brother's voice.." Jin still manages to say with his faint voice. "If he knows the true you, he'll fucking hate you."

Jungkook chuckles out loud.

"His voice is a sign that he's alive." He gets down to one of his knees to pull the man's gaze to him. "But he no longer will be if you continue to be quiet."

Seokjin doesn't know if that was a threat or not. He doesn't know if that's a lie or did he truly only use his brother for other reasons than love.

"I thought you love him."

Jungkook laughs "Do you truly think that I'm capable of loving another individual other than myself?"

"No." Because Jungkook does have a point. "You're a selfish bastard." Jungkook accept those words.

"I will murder your precious brother. I can hide his body and death easily into a Suicide. Do you think I'm not capable of doing that?"

Jin bit his lip "You can't threaten me.." he doesn't know the time but it should be so soon until the time he awaits have come.

"Who do you think I am?" He shows the victim a picture of Taehyung sleeping soundly in the sofa where he only recently took. "He can't hear your screams. All he can do is die."

When Jungkook showed signs of leaving, Jin can't afford to let him go. If he did then he wouldn't know what would happen to his brother in a cold condition. "Wait!"

Jungkook stops to his track. It seems that he did something.

There was faint sound but it definitely is the sound of siren surrounding them.

Jin doesn't need to speak to ensure his victory. "I had called the police. The moment that you abducted me and kept me in place was the moment I won."

The knocks have already said a lot that this man does not lie. He can't afford to stay any longer.

Shit. If only he had made sure that he didn't made any mistakes, this wouldn't happen.

Even as they were in the basement they were still able to hear the loud siren. There marks the win of Kim Seokjin. The moment he was abducted was the moment he had declared victory.

If Jungkook had known then he would've done more to prevent this.

"I win.." Seokjin smirks before Jungkook just had enough.

The police had invaded the area to find a trace of soul.

But as they search through the house, there was no sign of Jeon Jungkook, there was no sign of Kim Taehyung not was there a sign of Kim Seokjin.

Was it a false report? Were they lied to? They can't find anything, not even the secret entrance to the basement where many secrets were folded inside.

"Change the case. File this as a missing victim."

Behind all that, Jimin was left with shock.
