Everything was going perfect for Jimin, or so he thought. He was busy getting cleaned and ready for his date with Jeongguk. It has been a while since he stepped foot out of the huge mansion. It didn't bother him before because he was happy to be out of his house and with Jeongguk but he still wished to visit many places where he was never allowed to go.

His house back then was situated a bit far from the main city after the incident and his mother made sure to lock up the poor boy, away from any human contact. But now jimin is in his home with Jeongguk and is very happy. He considers Jeongguks mansion his home because he felt welcomed and a bit free here, he never considered the place where he spent 17 years his home, it was just a house for him but never a home.

Running away and living with Jeongguk made him feel free but he never realized that he just walked into the olders trap. He got out of one cage to be locked in another. The only difference is that Jeongguk was good at putting up a facade to make it seem like he was protecting jimin where as he just wanted the poor boy for himself.

"Should I wear this?" Jimin asked his maid holding up a black and white striped shirt.

"It's warm inside the mansion I think you will need to wear something warmer as well, winter is coming and the winds are very cold these days" the maid replied and guided jimin back towards the closet. Jeongguk had given her clear instructions to make sure jimin doesn't end up wearing something too much revealing so she had no other option but to reject his choices.

"Why don't you try this one and the jacket along with this?"

"But it's too big! I'll look like a bear in it!" Jimin pouted as he glared at the blue feathered jacket.

"But young mast-" the maid tried to object but got cut off when they heard a loud ring coming from the phone. Jimin ran and quickly answered the phone already knowing who it was.

"H-hi Ggukie!" Jimin said excitedly.

"Hi baby, look I'm sorry but we can't go today" Jeongguk replied hurriedly.

"B-but you said"

"I know what I said but I can't today- ugh!"

"Gguk! What's that sound? Are you okay?" Jimin asked frantically when he heard loud grunts coming from the other end of the phone which were soon followed by loud muffled screams.

Jeongguk on the other hand glared at the beaten up body to make him shut up.

"Jimin I'm busy and we can't go today that's it I'm hanging up now" Jeongguk ordered, his deep voice making jimin feel much weaker.

"But y-you promised!"

"I know but I can't fucking go right now!"

"I don't care I'm going to leave and enjoy my day outside alone then!" Jimin shouted back for the first time which shocked Jeongguk.

Jimin had never raised his voice at Jeongguk, he always obeyed his every command. Jimin was too, taken back by his sudden outburst but he couldn't help it. He was feeling suffocated inside the huge walls and he needed fresh air. He was so excited for their outing and now an hour before Jeongguk calls to tell him he can't go.

"First of all never raise your voice at me Park Jimin! And second of all if you even step a foot outside the main hall I'll make sure to cut your little feet, are we clear?" Jeongguks deep voice ringed out from the other end making the said boy whimper. And before he could control himself, fresh hot tears started to fall down his cheeks.

"I-i hate you! I'm leaving!" Jimin cried out again not aware of his words that made the said male more angry.

"I dare you to do that and I'll fucking kill you!" Jeongguk yelled. At that moment jimin felt as if his heart had stopped beating, he had felt physical pain from his mother several times but this emotional pain topped all. He never thought Jeongguk would threaten him like that and that too by his own life.

Jeongguk on the other hand cursed at himself when his own words registered in his head. What he had said to his lover who was now silent. He looked ahead where he saw the bloodied man begging to be set free and Yoongi who was looking at him, disappointed.

"J-jimin, I didn't mean t-" Jeongguk began to apologise for his cruel words but before that the younger had hanged up.

"Fuck! It's all your fucking fault my love is angry at me!" Jeongguk yelled and without giving it a second thought he picked up a battle axe and swinged it harshly towards the said male, towards his neck and separating the bloodied head from his body.

His men winced at the cruelty and momentarily looked away from the headless body that dropped down dead on the floor being surrounded by his own blood.

Jimin on the other hand didn't waist another moment and ran out his room. His maid was trailing behind him shouting for him to come back but he didn't bother listening. He knew he had to get away for a while and there was only one place he wished to go where no one would find him, no one knows about that place except Taehyung because he was the one who showed him that place.

His heart was beating rapidly, fat tears streaming down his face as his small hands kept on wiping them away to clear his vision. He went inside the far end of the hallway and into the old storage room. He quickly pushed the box aside and slide through the small hole that lead to another room but not before pulling the box back into it's place so no one would notice.

He crawled inside the dark room and looked for the familiar switch and turned on the small light. He wiped away his remaining tears and admired his secret room. He felt proud for having one. Taehyung and jimin had cleaned up the room and put two large cushions and a small table that had many comic books and a few snacks on them.

"I h-hate him" jimin stuttered when he felt the salty tears brim back into his eyes.

"I-i never imagined him to say that to me, I thought he l-loved me?" Jimin questioned himself. When he had ran away from his house he thought he would live freely and enjoy his life with Jeongguk who loves him a lot but after today he doubt if he even loves him because he may be naive but he knows that you don't threaten someone you love.

🗝️3 years ago🗝️

Like any normal day jimin was busy helping his eomma clean the house when he heard a loud knock on the door. He wasn't allowed to open the door so he waited for his eomma to come and greet the unknown guest.

The knocking got louder and louder but his eomma never came to open the door, he had even yelled for his eomma to come down and see but he got no reply. At first he debated whether to answer the door fearing he would get hit again for it but there must be something important if the person is still there so he decided to open the door. He went unlocked the door to be greeted by a boy who looked a few years older than him.

"Umm eomma is busy at the moment what can I help you with?" Jimin nicely asked the strange man who was observing him with a prominent smirk on his face.

"Oh is that so? I'm her friend and just wanted to greet her. I've never seen you before" the said man replied as he observed the shy boy who was partially hiding behind the door.

"Aren't you a bit young to be eommas friend?" Jimin asked confused. He knows about all his mother's friend but he never met this one.

"Yes I'm sure"

"Well I'm Jimin, nice to meet you" jimin smiled and invited him inside but the said man didn't bother to come inside.

He leaned forward and caressed Jimin's soft cheeks making him flinch at the sudden contact. He was only familiar with two contacts, one was his mother's harsh one and the other belonged to his Ggukie.

"W-what are you doing Mr.?" Jimin asked backing away a little.

"Where did you get that bruise from?" The said man asked once his eyes landed on the blue bruise under Jimin's cheek bone.

"I-i tripped Mr." Jimin lied.

Before the man could comment on his stutter a loud voice yelled through the house and down ran his mother who glared at jimin but her eyes widened when she saw the smirking man in front of her.

"Oh I-i can e-explain!" She stuttered panicked and reach towards the door. She pushed jimin back and stood in front of him.

"Explain what? I thought you had nothing to give me but what I see is something very precious you own"

"Don't drag him into this! He's still a kid!"

"We had an agreement Mrs. Park. If you can't pay me back my money then you know the drill it's either death or your precious son"

"Please I beg you it's too soon! He's little"

"I'll be back when he turns 18 and don't bother running away I have my men watching over this little cutie. I'm not that bad I'll give you the remaining years to live with him but as soon as he turns 18 he's mine" the said man ordered and after giving a Stern look to the frightened female he turned towards the curious boy.

"My name's Jackson love, I'll see you soon" he said and vanished from his sight.

As soon as the door was closed his mother glared at him.

"I ASKED ONE THING FROM YOU AND THAT WAS TO NEVER ANSWER THE DOOR!" She yelled at her son.

"B-but you weren't coming and-"

"You should have let it be! Now look he knows about you I tried to save you from one but ended up dragging you to the other" she yelled at him and before jimin could register a hard slap landed on his right cheek making him loose his balance as he landed on the hard wooden floor.

"E-eomma? I'm s-sorry" jimin apologized but she didn't bother listening to him and dragged him upstairs to his room, locking him inside.

Jimin spent the whole day begging for his mother to let him leave his room but she ignores his cries.

"I'm doing this because I love you!"

"You don't hurt the ones you love eomma! Please let me out!" But just like before he was left unanswered and he laid down, waiting for his Ggukie to come. Unknown to his mother the bay had been counting his days till his Ggukie comes to take him away. That's the only thing that kept him sane.

🗝️End of flashback🗝️

Jimin shook his head and muted out the old memories as he turned off the small lamp and made his way towards the cushion to lay down, pushing himself into a comfortable position. As time passed, the said boy continued to cry and pulled himself into a deep slumber.

🗝️

Jeongguk stormed inside their room, looking frantically around in search of jimin. Once the maid had lost the sight of the young boy she had immediately informed Jeongguk who left all his work to search for his baby boy. Yoongi had dragged Taehyung as well for the sake of jimin because this time he knew it was Jeongguk who was at fault.

"WHERE IS HE!" he yelled and glared at the terrified staff as his voiced boomed through the empty hallways.

"W-we searched everywhere but couldn't find him"

"Where can he go? He can't leave the mansion so he has to be fucking inside! Find him!" He yelled and the staff dashed out and once again searched the whole mansion.

Taehyung stared at Jeongguk. Yoongi had filled him with what had happened and indeed he was also disappointed.

"You don't threaten someone you love to kill them, if yoongi had ever done that to me I would have killed myself instead of getting killed by him" he glared at Jeongguk, he knew he was being bold but he can't let Jeongguk get away with such words.

"Well that's the difference between your sweet guy and a psychotic me and besides my mind doesn't work like a normal person these thoughts and words are common for me" he replied but he did feel guilty and regretted every word that unconsciously slipped through his mouth.

"Still your mind doesn't have control over your heart, your actions can differ depending on who you follow, your mind or your heart" yoongi butted in.

"I know I fucking messed up! I was ready to apologise but he ran off! You out of all the people know how long I waited for him to come to me! How I controlled myself from taking him away and now that I have him I can't let him go that easily he's mine"

"I know but show him that how much he means to you, because of you his mother locked him up his entire life he doesn't know what the outside world looks like"

"I may be a psychotic monster in front of others but when it comes to him I'm at his Mercy and he doesn't even knows about it"

Taehyung stayed quite and after hearing everything he decided to end this.

"I might know where he is but you stay right here"

"Where is he tell me?!"

"No, I can't do this to him so wait I'll get him for you" Taehyung said and ran away before Jeongguk could argue.

Taehyung made sure no one was following him as he made his way down towards the familiar corridor. He sneaked inside the storage room and pushed back the box and crawled his way towards the dark room.

As soon as his eyes landed on the sleeping figure curled up on the cushion he breathed out a sign of relief. He made his way towards jimin and observed his flushed face that had dried tears on it. He brushed away the stains and joined him. Jimin woke up when he felt a warm hand caressing his cheeks and looked up to find Taehyung.

"Sshh it's okay he doesn't know where we are" Taehyung assured him.

"H-he said he'll k-kill me" jimin cried and snuggled closer to Taehyung. He might not be that close to him but he was the only friend he had.

"I know what happened, let's just calm down and then we'll talk about this, okay?"

"Okay" jimin nodded and cuddled next to Taehyungs warm embrace.
He needed some space away from Jeongguk to clear his thoughts.
