(A/n:- Give me comments! I can't function without them 🥺👉👈)

"Not under my watch!" The door slammed open with the new voice echoing through the room.

Perfectly set gray hair, a scar on his left eyebrow, a well fitted tuxedo with branded shoes to top the look. He stood there with hands in the pocket and eyes glaring at the two young males who stood before him.  A smirked played over his lips as he saw the fear bubble within Jimin's orbs.

Taehyung immediately covered Jimin in his arms with his back facing the person at the door.

"Ou! What do we have here?" The man smirked as he stepped inside the room and perked his brow at Taehyung who removed his shirt to cover Jimin in it.

He held Jimin behind his back with one hand securely holding Jimin by his hips and glared at the man that just barged in.

"You can't hide that beautiful ass behind his back, baby. Why don't you just show yourself?" The man addressed Jimin before stepping closer to Tae's face and dropping his smile.

"I dare you to say that again!" Taehyung growled with his nostrils flaring in anger.

"Don't try and act brave when you and I both know I can shoot you right now!" The man warned and slid his jacket with his hand to flash the gun placed securely inside the holster.

Jimin panicked as he saw the gun and tried to jump out but Tae firmed his grip around Jimin's waist, "Well, go ahead then!"

"Are you crazy, Jebb? He wouldn't spare a second before killing you!" Jimin's skin turned pale as he watched the man take out the gun and place it over Taehyung's forehead.

"Press that, motherfucker!" Taehyung howled with his neck veins popping out and the man took off the safety lock.

"No!" Jimin screamed and tried to fight back but Taehyung wasn't budging an inch from his place.

"What makes you think I wouldn't kill you?" The man asked in a calm tone as he stepped closer to Tae's face.

"Aren't you curious to know how I escaped your factory without being noticed by the high-end security you placed?" Taehyung smirked as he watched a small frown grow on the man's face.

"What if I wasn't the only one that escaped? Then it's going to be a huge trouble for you. Your little secret will be out in seconds!" Taehyung chuckled and watched the man lower his gun beside his waist.

"There is no way you could have escaped from the factory!" The man growled over Taehyung's face as he pulled him by his collar.

"Unless your lousy dog slept off when I did so," Taehyung had a smirk plastered over his face the whole time until the man let go of him.

"What's happening here!" Viper barged into the room with his subordinates; his skin turned pale when he saw the person before him, "B...boss? What are you doing here? I had arranged a special suite room." Viper stuttered and hopped his way towards the Boss.

"I wanted to have a private room with your most beautiful stripper but looks like I toppled over something you weren't interested in telling to me," the man slowly turned around to glare at Viper who almost turned white in fear.

"B...boss, I can explain-" before Viper could speak the man pulled out his gun and shot Viper in the leg. The latter screamed in pain and fell over the ground.

"Mr...Jeon, please...give me another chance. Please?" Viper tried his best to work out the sentence as the pain shot through his leg.

Mr Jeon shot once again but fortunately, the bullet simply graced Viper's shoulder spurting out blood as it did, "I didn't give you orders to call me by my name. Did I?"

"I...am sorry, boss." Viper crawled over the floor holding his bleeding leg and fell over Mr Jeon's feet to beg for forgiveness.

"You want another chance?" Mr Jeon squatted to take a better look at Viper's face who nodded instantly.

"Then set things straight before I change my mind!" Mr Jeon warned and pushed the gun into Viper's hand. He stood up and flicked his finger to which a bunch of men entered the room.

"Clear this mess!" He announced before leaving the room.

Taehyung fisted his hands and stood firm in his place. One of the men rushed towards Taehyung and he successfully tackled the guy under his arm and twisted his neck before dropping him to the ground.

Soon, the men were all over Taehyung. Jimin jumped over a few to kick their ankles and poke his fingers into their eyes.

Blood

Bruise

Knuckles

Pain

Those were the only thing that echoed within the four walls dropping all the men half-dead with Jebb and Tyne barely standing over their two feet.

Just as they were about to escape from the room a new figure stood in their way and Viper's laughter echoed through the walls.

"You can't leave," the new voice spoke up.

"You can't possibly stop us," Taehyung replied.

"Well, I can!"

"What the hell are you saying, Major!" Jimin pushed Yoongi to the wall by holding his collar but Yoongi simply raised his hand to close Jimin's mouth with a cloth, "I am...sorry."

"What are you doing!" Taehyung tried to pull Jimin back but Yoongi was quick to smother Taehyung with the same cloth.

Yoongi stood there with the cloth that slipped through his fingers and the two males fell unconscious on the floor.

Will you ever forgive me, Tyne?

"Hoseok!" Jungkook called out as he entered the small apartment that they used as a hiding spot. He furrowed his brows as he received no response and walked deeper into the room.

"Is this important?" Mr Bang picked a note from the table placed in the hall and showed it to Jungkook.

Jungkook simply hummed and took it from Mr Bang's hand. He quickly unfolded the paper to read out what was written.

Hey, Eglan!

I tried to contact Major but he isn't responding. I am heading out to find him. I have kept the food for dinner in the corner. Make sure to heat it before you eat. I will be back after I find him.

Your Hoseok.

Jungkook's heart clenched at the fact that he was standing all alone in the room.

Major is gone.

Hoseok left after him.

He has no clue where Taehyung is. 

And Jimin...doesn't want to see him.

"You aren't alone!" A voice chirped and Jungkook quickly blinked back his tears to look at Mr Bang who fixed his coat and sat on the couch with a cigar between his lips.

"I...don't trust you. I don't trust any adult!" Jungkook's orbs turned dark as old memories resurfaced.

"Dad...what are you doing?"

"Trust me, Jungkook you will feel too good. Just let me touch you. Yeah?"

"But I don't like it..."

"How the fuck are you not liking it, huh? I didn't bring you from the orphanage to complain! Start liking it or die."

"Pl...please, let me go."

Jungkook fisted his hands and screamed incoherent words before throwing himself over Mr Bang who smoothly dodged the punch.

"If you are going to fight back. Then let's do it the right way!" Mr Bang pulled off his coat and once Jungkook rushed towards him, he quickly locked Jungkook's hands with the coat and pushed him over the floor.

Mr Bang waited for the boy to fight back but all he saw was a small male crouched into a ball of the cocoon with his entire body shaking as he sobbed and cried for his dear life.

He quickly took the hint and stepped back. He patiently waited for the boy to loosen up but Jungkook was far gone into the past lost in his dark world with demons crawling up his skin like leeches feeling a sense of disgust creep all over him.

Mr Bang sighed and pulled his coat off Jungkook's hands that were tied together to release them. He sat down beside Jungkook and pulled out a bottle of water to place it beside Jungkook.

"Wanna hear something?" Mr Bang began and pulled a photograph out of his pocket.

"When a bird lays an egg in a nest, it takes utmost care of the egg and makes sure it doesn't get hurt and keeps it warm until it hatches out. Once the egg hatches she runs around the entire arena to find food for her baby. With a beak so small she can barely manage to bring a few with every trip she makes in and out of the nest. She harnesses the baby and nurtures it till it's all grown and flies safely out of the nest." Mr Bang started and carefully patted Jungkook's head, he made sure to be as gentle as possible to not scare the kid as he already was.

"But what if someone breaks the mother's wings? What if she never returns to the nest? What do you think would happen then?" Mr Bang pushed the bottle of water close to Jungkook's side who cautiously looked through his tear-filled eyes at the man and then at the bottle before scooting away.

"The egg still manages to hatch. Irrespective of the fact that it didn't receive its mother's warmth it still hatches. Once hunger hits its senses it tumbles out of the nest and spreads its immature wings and leaps out. It does crash over the ground and weeps in pain. It gets traumatised for flying ever again. But it still stands over its tiny legs and hops forwards. It fetches food for itself and survives. Except for the fact that it never learnt to fly it does survive-"

"What is it that you are implying?" Jungkook mumbles weakly in his sore voice.

"The baby bird just wants some kind of push. A push or you could call it a motivation to spread its fully grown wings and try again. To fly high and never fall back. It simply waiting for a responsible bird who could take its mother's place to protect it and teach it how to fly again. It wants to learn to fight its fears."

Jungkook didn't move for some time and then slowly stretched his fingers over the floor to reach out for the water bottle. He threw a quick look at the man who sat there lost in his deep thoughts with a picture in his hand and a tear slipping down his face.

Jungkook's doe eyes took in the emotions that were slowly building over the man's face. He raised himself to sit beside the man and nudged his elbow before handing him the bottle, "I think you need it more than I do," he mumbled and looked at his crossed legs while fiddling his fingers.

"Would you like to fly again, Eglan?" Mr Bang asked with his fingers gripping the photo harshly in his hand.

"Why would you do that for me?" Jungkook asked in a low tone.

"Because I couldn't do it for my son," Mr Bang put forth and that was followed by a deafening silence in the room.
