Third person P.O.V

"Tae?!" The voice called him and the said person took a deep breath before turning back to find the source.

Jungkook was panting, sweat drops decorating his clean forehead and a deep frown accompanying that.

"What are you doing here?" Taehyung silently watched as the other came to him and quickly took hold of his shoulders, eyes roaming over his whole body like doing a sort of inspection to find any wound.

"Are you alright? You are too much sweaty. Did something happen?" All the questions were bombarded within seconds and Taehyung just nodded lightly before letting out a soft smile.

"I'm fine, let's go back. I forgot the way back and ended up here." Jungkook looked relaxed on that and nodded before taking one hand in his own and soon started to walk back.

It didn't take long when they were out of the forest and the mansion was standing tall in front of their view. Now, when Taehyung's eyes fell behind the mansion, he found the clear summer sky and just distant trees canopies.

Jay was already waiting for them near the door and when he finally saw them both coming back, he quickly scurried back inside after sighing in relaxation.

The whole time, none of them exchanged a single word and when they were back, Taehyung silently trudged toward the room. Jungkook watched him going inside with a blank look before turning back to do something.

The living room was filled with clattering as the two were eating in complete silence until Taehyung broke it once again. "Where do you go for work?"

"A nearby town. I started the new business of marketing and is going well for now."

"Means, we can leave this place sooner?" Taehyung quickly retorted back with eyes still focused on the plate.

Jungkook took a deep breath. "Let's see, I'll do my best to reach that point."

After that, they were back in their room and that night, Taehyung silently laid back in his bed with Jungkook hugging him as usual. The time passed away and as he expected, the other left him in the deep midnight.

That day, he decided to ditch his usual medicines and see if Jungkook would go out at night or not but to crush his little hopes, the other really did leave.

The whole night, he kept on looking out of the window, hearing the growls of the wild animals from the forest till it was around 4 am and he heard the door of the main entrance creaking.

The other was back in the room to tiredly lay and cuddle him like he was starved for longer. The way his body melted when it was pressed with Taehyung's, gave the latter a sort of deep sensation. Maybe, Jungkook loves him beyond boundaries to feel this much contentment with just a hug.

Around 2 pm on the next day, Dr. Soo left after the regular check-up and Taehyung was once again left with Jay in the mansion.

He patiently waited till Jay locked the main door with great care and rushed back to the kitchen, maybe to hide the key. Taehyung silently followed the other and saw him hiding the key in the upper corner of the top left cabinet.

Jay smiled to himself and turned back only to jump back in horror when he found a knife on his neck, by none other than the soft, innocent, and fragile-looking brunet.

"S- sir-"

Taehyung smirked devilishly, stepped forth, and pressed the knife to leave a small cut on the other's skin. Jay was definitely panicking about the other's behavior but before he could reach the walkie-talkie from his pants, the other pushed him harshly and he fell on the floor. Wide eyes in utter disbelief filled with glints of horror, made Taehyung let out a low chuckle.

"Should we start? Hmm?" Gliding the knife on the other's skin, he whispered lowly and Jay was frozen, totally frozen.

Hours later, Jungkook entered the mansion to find Jay on the floor near the kitchen, a small pool of blood near his head.

"J- Jay?!" The other was out cold and the pool of blood was not so much, but still the other was hurt. Taking his own shirt off, he wrapped it around the other's head and laid him on the couch.

"Tae? Baby, where are you?" With palpitations in his heart, he ran to the room to find no one there. "Love? Are you in the bathroom?" But to his horror, the other was not there as well.

"Oh God, Tae! Where are you, love?" Licking his lips, he was already out of the room to look around the whole mansion but found no one there.

The reality dawned upon him that Taehyung was gone. He ran away...

____________

Taehyung was running at full speed on the bumpy narrow clean ground, his eyes blurry as he recalled whatever he had done. His trembling limbs were making it difficult to run at greater speed, but he knew, he had to...he had to run to escape this whole trap.

Flashback:

"Should we start? Hmm?" Jay tried to get away but Taehyung made it difficult for him by trapping him in between his limbs.

"Sir, please.. let me go. What are you doing? I- you need to take your medicines. I'll bring them, please-"

"What medicines? I don't need them! You just answer whatever I'm going to ask, and you are free to go." Jay licked his lips and after a second, nodded his head.

"Tell me the truth otherwise," He just pressed the knife to prove his point. Jay frantically nodded his head in response, sweating profusely.

"Who are you? When did you... actually came here and how?"

"Sir, I've told you before-" Taehyung again pressed the knife, causing the younger to let out a cry of urgency.

"Truth Jay, truth."

"I- I'm an engineer. I was passing by the road when a c- cab driver gave me a lift. Next time, I was in a deserted place and a person was standing there with a mask on. He- he threatened me to settle this old mansion or else-" He gulped thickly before continuing. "Or else he would throw me to those things that were... that were standing at a little distance."

Taehyung felt his grip loosening on the knife.

"They were, they aren't human.. they have red-red eyes, long arms. They looked hungry, very hungry, and were trying to get me but that person stopped them and they did."  Taehyung bit his lips harshly.

"Who- who was that person?" Jay was crying at that point and shook his head in fear but Taehyung was now well aware of the answers.

"For how long, we've been living here?" Jay breathed a bit, to stable his voice before croaking out meekly.

"Eight months." A bitter chuckle left Taehyung's lips on that.

"Really? And what did I do in that whole period?" Jay looked apologetic to the extent that he couldn't even make eye contact with the brunet.

"You- you were not conscious. He kept you in a drug-induced coma for 7 months and then started to feed you with sleeping aids." Taehyung's hands were trembling, not sure of what emotion, anger or hurt?

"W- why is he keeping me here? What sort of benefits will he get?" Jay stayed silent again this time, sealing his lips in a thin line.

Now, Taehyung was sure the other was not going to say a word more, so he got up to get the key only to be tackled down by the other.

"Sorry, but you can't go anywhere. He will kill me!" Saying that Jay tried to fight him.

"Let me go!" Jay was persistent and kept on trying to stop the brunet but in the end, Taehyung ended up pushing the other harshly which lead to the injury on the younger's head.

With trembling hands, Taehyung opened the door and rushed out of the 'golden cage' that the other had renewed to keep him caged.

The whole forest was giving him chills when everything was now crystal clear. He wasn't sick, he wasn't mental, he was made mental by none other than the mastermind, Jungkook. Jeon or Han, doesn't matter at this point, coz Jungkook was a devil wrapped in sweet strings that made him fall into his trap, not once, not twice, but many times.

It wasn't very abrupt, he did get the flashes of his memory when he saw that doctor but he kept silent after being called mentally sick. He knew something was off. The same night, he dreamed of watching Luhan in front of him after being stabbed in the neck. That made him think back about the doctor being injured by Jungkook and those ghouls, but maybe she got healed just like Luhan, and that pieces of her body were really his imagination out of stress.

There must be deep scars on her body unlike the small one on Luhan's neck, the reason she kept on dressing fully in the hot weather. The knots in his mind were untying one by one, thanks to his instincts of throwing the so-called medicines that came out as sleeping aids, the reason his memory was clouded because of prolonged and unbalanced exposure.

There was a little doubt even after witnessing the odd behavior of Jungkook with something on his neck, but that also vanished the moment he stepped into the forest and found that eerie silence-filled place and the small cabin, it reminded him of everything, the death of poor Hanson and all, the last memory he had before falling in the abyss created by Jungkook.

"I hate you, Jungkook!" The words rolled out of his mouth like poison. The other went to the extreme extent to keep him near himself, creating a vast trap to let him roam in his own mind and thoughts.

Even after running for so long, he couldn't find a way out of the cursed place. It was like, he was going in circles around the forest and his steps halted when he saw the distant walls of the mansion.

Wide eyes stared at the place in great confusion. How is it possible? I ran a lot!

The failure made him shudder for the second time, coz he was really going in circles when he found himself standing at a distance from the mansion.

His trembling legs almost collapsed in hopelessness, because it really felt like there is no way out, even when he tried the other path except for the forest but, he wasn't ready to enter there as well. That forest was like another maze that made him this miserable in the first place.

A choked sob left his trembling lips when he almost collapsed but didn't...

Because he was caught by two arms very firmly, warm breaths tickling his skin before a few words entered his disturbed mind.

"You can't run away from me, baby."
