NEXT MORNING, 7AM*

Jimin felt chilliness firsthand, then intense cold.

At first, he thought he's back the freezer or maybe his enemies decided to throw him in one of the water bodies this time.

Or is he still in the Dreamland? Is she still having the nightmare where Jungkook comforted him and calmed him down on his laps?

If he's on his laps, then why is everywhere cold?

He moved slowly, and the sound of water swirling around him made his eyes fly open.

He's in the bathroom! Inside the bathtub which is filled with water, and he's not even free.

His two hands are raised up above his head and chained together, then tied to a metal on top.

What the hell!

His eyes widened madly, and when he tried standing, it was impossible because the water spilled instead, wetting the bathroom ground.

No, it can't be real... right?

"Finally awake?" The familiar velvety voice came from the other side, and he faced that angle swiftly, only to see Jungkook sitting there on a metal chair, looking devilishly lethal as his brown hair sprawled in a tousle on his head.

The level of unhinged energy attached to this alpha of a guy is illegal, he was custom-made from hell.

His left eye is twitching repeatedly, and the smirk is tugging smugly at his lip corner.

"What do you think you're doing?" Jimin gritted, struggling to free himself from the chains again, but it only made water pour on the ground again.

The chains began hurting his wrists too as a result of his aggressive pull.

Jungkook rose to his feet in all tallness, and Jimin stopped struggling to look back at him.

"Jungkook it's not funny ok?" He said, swallowing his fear.

"There...you said that name last night..." His eyes darkened as he came closer to the tub.

His eyes widened, and his mind went back to his dream where she climbed Jungkook's laps and said his name...

Wait...that was real?

He wasn't dreaming?

His eyes widened for the third time.

"You kept tempting me, and have I told you how much I like it, little fox?" Jungkook got to him and crouched over, resting his palms on the tub edges.

"You tied me up in a bathtub only because I called you by your name? Isn't your name Jungkook? You're Jeon Jungkook!" Jimin spat.

"And you learn to shut up when you should! Who do you think you are, hmm? You know nothing so how about you do as I say?" He glared, and Jimin bit his tongue, struggling with the chains again.

His  wrists hurts so fucking much, but Jungkook doesn't seem to care.

Their eyes locked, and Jimin saw nothing but darkness and emptiness, hollowness and deviance.

It's like Jungkook sold his soul to the devil and there's nothing left to offer.

He's really out to destroy him. He should have known.

"Let me go" he muttered.

"Not so quick" Jungkook tilted his head, entering the tub with him.

Jimin held his breaths as Jungkook went behind him and slipped his hands on his shoulders.

He traced the curves up to silts of her neck, and Jimin gulped when he began tracing his pointer finger on his bare collarbones, touching him sensually.

Again, his scent invaded his nostrils, and Jimin could feel the heat of his presence as he traced the finger up to his throat.

Jimin gulped multiple times in a second, unable to breathe at the touches.

He's new to this, no alpha ever touched him intimately before.

And it's worse because he doesn't feel triggered by him, otherwise he should be throwing up by now or getting an episode.

"S-stop touching me like that..." He muttered, panting for breaths.

"Shh" Jungkook shushed

Jimin held his breath again as he traced the finger painstakingly slow down the neckline of his clothes.

He's wearing five tops, but with his hands tied up like this, it'd only take one second to pull them off.

"Don't do it ... Oo -ok?" He sniffled, palpitating so bad.

Jungkook slipped his hand into her layer of tops, and Jimin's head snapped.

If he moves that hand one more time, he'd be touching his lace singlet.

"Jeon...stop" he shivered, but no sign of stopping came from him.

He was about to scream when he remembered something suddenly...

"Red!" Jimin gasped, and his hand movement stopped.

"It's the safe word, right? Red" he repeated, and Jungkook brought his hand out finally.

He stepped out of the tub, and Jimin released all the breaths he has been holding.

"Good boy" Jungkook smiled darkly, stroking his hair before starting to walk out.

"Unchain me!" He said.

He stopped to look back.

"Sorry, little fox. You're not stepping out of here today" he said, and Jimin gasped.

"You can't be serious, right? Jeon! Jeon wait! Jeon!!" He screamed as Jungkook shut the door.

He bit his lip hard, cursing him inwardly as he felt the sting of the chains on his wrist again.

"Fuck you Jeon! Fuck!"  He cussed.

Who's gonna save him from this  psychopath?

*

Jungkook had his bath already, so he only got dressed when he arrived back in the room.

He topped his denim and black shirt with the hockey team jacket, then he stepped out of the room, only to meet the girls by the door.

Lisa, Seji, Jennie and Chaeryoung.

"Where is Min?" Lisa frowned.

"He decided to stay in today" Jungkook replied simply.

"Are you serious right now?" Seji blinked.

"Have fun alone, he'd be fine" Jungkook replied and made to leave, but Lisa blocked him.

"What are you up to? Where did you keep him?" She asked.

"Staying indoors is the best option I could come up with, unless you want him to get hurt, badly" he glared, looking at Jennie.

Jennie blinked and came forward.

"I think...I think I know what's going on. Min will be fine," she said.

"Jennie!" Seji grabbed her.

"I'm serious" Jennie replied, and Jungkook left after locking the door.

Chaeryoung couldn't add anything, she could only stare at his backside as he walked down the hall.

"Jennie I won't forgive you if anything happens to Min" Lisa voiced.

"Maybe it's The Scorpios again, who knows? Last time it was me, what if their target is Min this time" Jennie replied.

"Makes sense, but if that's the case then why is he protecting him?" Seji frowned.

"Jeon and Jimin...are they close a lot?" Chaeryoung finally talked.

"Nope, Min hates him" Lisa replied, and Chaeryoung smiled.

"Maybe he's really protecting him, Jeon is nice" she said, and Lee came rushing down to them.

"Where's Jimin? I need to talk to him" he said breathlessly.

"Since when did you and Min start talking to each other" Seji rolled eyes.

"He saved him from the freezer remember?" Jennie said.

"Even though" Seji sighed.

"It's dangerous I really need to see him right now, like now!" Lee said urgently.

"He's in a lockdown for all today" Chaeryoung replied, and the girls left him.

Lee inhaled in relief immediately.

The plan won't materialize if Jimin doesn't come out.

He was smiling as he left the hall.

*

Jungkook arrived at his friends room and found them ready too.

Namjoon is mixing his coffee with tequila while Hyunjin is eating another apple from the bag.

"Where do you wanna get buried at?" Jungkook deadpanned, staring at the apple.

"Kill me and give my body to Felix" Hyunjin replied with a silly laughter.

Jungkook snatched the half-eaten apple from him and gave him a punch on the nose.

Hyunjin fell from the bed to the ground, his nose bleeding.

"Wanker, I ate two apples and now you're after my life?" He said, wiping his bleeding nose.

"You ate two?" Jungkook smirked.

"Yeah, he ate one last night too" Namjoon talked, sipping from his diluted coffee.

Jungkook almost smashed Hyunjin's face again, but Hyunjin jumped to the other side of the bed with a grin.

"I'll keep that for another day, bitch" Jungkook scoffed, taking an apple.

He threw his weight on a couch and got a note out of his pocket.

He found it beside Jimin's pillow last night... The note he was given in the freezer.

STAY OUT OF JUNGKOOK'S LIFE.

He took a big bite from the apple as he read it over and over again, trying to decipher the owner of the handwriting.

"What's this?" Namjoon took the note from him.

"Never seen this handwriting before" Hyunjin said, checking it out too.

"It belongs to the culprit, yeah?" Namjoon asked.

Jungkook remained silent, rolling the apple on his palm.

"So... whoever it is...he's doing this because he wants Jimin out of your life? Weird" Hyunjin said.

"He? It's a female, only females use lines like this. A female who's madly obsessed with you. You can feel the obsession from the note" Namjoon said.

"Maybe he used female lines intentionally. I believe it can be both because almost every omega (male and female alike) in the campus is obsessed Jeon" Hyunjin replied.

They both shifted their gazes to Jungkook who has been silent.

"Any thoughts?" Namjoon asked.

"I saw the handwriting somewhere before, I'm trying to recall " he muttered standing up and taking back the note.

"Bangchan obviously has plans today. Are you gonna follow Jimin around again? There might be mistakes" Hyunjin said.

"Jimin's staying in throughout " Jungkook replied, walking out.

"Nasty" Hyunjin smiled, showing off his chin dimple.

"I can imagine Jimin chained up, it's Jeon after all" Namjoon chuckled before downing the remaining diluted coffee in his cup.

He left the room with Hyunjin.

*

The purpose of the tour is for peopling and socializing, students getting closer and whatnot.

The island trip comes first, then the food feast, the pyjamas party in the evening and the pool party at midnight.

The students are crowding out to the island for the tour already, but The Scorpios are meeting briefly.

They're already gathered at the base of a mahogany tree at the back of the lodge, and Lee is the last one to arrive.

Immediately he joined, the eyes of Romeo and Juliet landed on him, and he began feeling uncomfortable.

"Jimin is nowhere to be found. I haven't seen him this morning and I eavesdropped on his friends saying he's staying in throughout" Yeji said restlessly.

"And why would he decide to stay in today" Namjoon questioned no one in particular.

"Maybe there's a snitch between us, a spy" Juliet spoke up, sounding sadistic.

"What do you mean?" Yeji faced her.

"Lee" Romeo said, and Lee's heart jumped.

"Not me!" He faced him.

"I saw you saving Jimin last night, and also... Juliet saw you at Bangchan and Yeji's door too, you were probably eavesdropping" Romeo said.

"No! No i didn't...I...

Lee was already on the ground before he could finish.

Yeji picked up the cage of snake and and opened it.

She brought out the snake with her bare hand, and Bangchan took the serpent from him.

Ler started crying as he shifted back on his butt till he got to the wall.

"Please I really didn't snitch on your guys. I've always lived by the oath I swear. I didn't!!!" He cried out again.

Bangchan threw the snake at him, and the serpent coiled itself around Lee, squeezing him tightly.

Lee struggled hard, but he's obviously no match for it.

Thankfully, the snake venom has been extracted, so he didn't get stung, but when the snake was removed from his body three minutes later, he was almost lifeless.

Yeji returned the snake to the cage and carried it like an handbag as she left with the others.

They left him on the ground.

Romeo and Juliet, the evil couple were smiling as they followed.

"Should we move to plan B?" Yeji asked.

"If he still refuses to come out, then plan B is useless too" Bangchan gritted his teeth annoyingly.

*

LODGE*

The whole environment is silent as all the students are out for the tour already.

A pair of oversized vans stepped into the lodge suddenly, and the trenchcoat was flowing as the person walked to the door of Jimin and Jungkook's room.

He got an extra key and opened the door, taking steady steps to the room.

When he found no one in the room, he proceeded to the bathroom.

Jimin was already asleep in the bathtub when he stepped in, and his chained wrists were already bleeding.

He continued the silent steps till he got to the tub.

He unlocked the chains, and Jimin fell into the water face first with a loud gasp.

Jimin struggled for seconds before he was finally able to stand up, and by the time he did, the person was already gone.

"Who was that? Jungkook? Did that bastard change his mind already?" He muttered, stepping out.

Water was dripping out of his, so he took off the wet clothes and had a really quick bath.

He dressed up and wrapped a bandage on the wound on his wrists.

He took his jacket and stormed out of the room, determined to find Jungkook and punch him or something, but he halted when she met Yeji waiting in the hall.

"Hey" Yeji waved.

Angrily, he pushed Yeji aside and continued his walk, but he was blocked by Romeo and Juliet.

"Is this a...

Before he could say DRAMA, Juliet sprayed a sedative perfume on his face, and Jimin fell heavily to the ground.

Romeo carried him, and the girls followed as they took him away.

*

ISLAND*

The students are everywhere.

The tour came to an end some minutes ago, and the food feast is about to start.

Caterers are starting to wheel in ostentatious delicacies, and lots of students are capturing the moment on their phones.

Some even brought cameras and ring lights for more effects.

Lisa and Seji are part of the paparazzi, but Jennie is seated alone, holding a cup of water.

"Hey, you're not snapping pictures?" Chaeryoung came to her.

"I miss Min" Jennie replied.

"C'mon, it's just for today, and it's for his benefit" Chaeryoung shrugged, and Jennie sighed.

Felix came to the food tray to get some syrup for his pancakes, and he coincidentally met Hyunjin there.

He came for the syrup too, so their hands touched it at once.

Felix quickly removed his hand and turned to leave.

"Avoidance is the next resolve now?" Hyunjin said, and he faced him.

He saw Chaeryoung looking at them, so he comported himself before speaking.

"I already told you in many languages that I'm into girls, meaning I'm not into guys like you, the hell?" He glared.

"Are you sure you're into girls? Maybe I just need to hit a nerve" Hyunjin chuckled, and he shook his head.

"You're hopeless"

He walked away, and Hyunjin sighed.

Jungkook and Namjoon are at another side of the island, and like an addict, Jungkook is eating a red apple again.

Namjoon has a bottle of vodka with him this time.

"Why am I not seeing Bangchan and his parasites anywhere?" Namjoon suddenly said.

Jungkook let go of the apple with him, his lips so red from the effect.

He ran his eyes through the island and truthfully, not even one of The Scorpios is seen.

He got suspicious immediately and stood, getting his phone that's connected to the room.

He clicked on the camera, and his eye twitched when he didn't see Jimin in the bathtub.

He rushed all the way to the lodge and checked the room, but he's really gone.

Namjoon and Hyunjin rushed in at the same time, and they both faced each other.

"He's gone" they chorused.

"Where could they take him?" Hyunjin muttered.

"There's a hearth some meters from here, we had bonfire there last year, pretty sure they took him there" Namjoon said.

"No. It can't be somewhere that obvious, they're not daft" Hyunjin replied.

Jungkook's eyes turned bloodshot already, and the darkness breathing into it worsened everything.

He looks mad scary as he faced them, a replica of a devil incarnate.

"Inform the others, now" he ordered, leaving the room.

"What if I tell you I missed this side of Jeon?" Hyunjin laughed.

"Bastard" Namjoon jabbed him, rushing out with him.

*

ACROSS THE WATER*

Jimin saw total darkness when he opened his eyes, but he's not alone.

He's surrounded by every member of The Scorpios except Lee.

He's tied to a stake.

He's tied again, and he feels so tired.

Fucking tired...the sedative is obviously still in action because he can't even open his eyes well or talk.

There's a fireplace burning not far from him, and Yeji threw another stick into the fire before grinning.

"Welcome back, Park Jimin"

Her voice echoed, and she looks like a grin reaper as she laughed again.

They're in a cave, a medieval one which looks like an anthill.

Romeo and Juliet were grinning from ear to ear as Bangchan got his cell and dialled Master Kang's line on FaceTime.

Master Kang picked in no time, and Bangchan smiled like a spoilt child.

"Father, you need to watch this" he said, directing the camera at Jimin.

Master Kang remained unmoved as Romeo untied Jimin, and his body fell to the ground.

"Let's start the rites" Yeji cackled, sitting beside Juliet.

* Start!

* Start!

* Start!!

The members began chorusing, and the flames from the fire rose to the cave roof, fogging the place.

Romeo started dragging Jimin with himself, and merely feeling his hand on himself made Jimin throw up twice before they could arrive at where he's taking him.

He clicked a button in a remote, and a old pool opened on the ground.

Sensing what he's gonna do, Jimin faced him and tried punching him, but he's so darn weak.

Romeo caught his hands easily and grabbed his hair, shoving his face into the water.

His heart exploded when he saw two sharks in the water, swimming towards him.

He started struggling to raise his head, but Romeo shoved it deeper.

The sharks swam closer and closer, and Jimin started gulping water.

* Yes!!!

The members screamed out again.

Juliet and Yeji got themselves coconut waters, and they clinked the shells before drinking with their straws, enjoying the show.

"See that, father?" Bangchan laughed, making sure Master Kang is witnessing everything on camera.

Master Kang remained neutral like a stone, and Romeo brought Jimin's face up, only to shove it back in.

The sharks are almost reaching him right now, and he lost his mind immediately.

His weakness ain't helping, and he began gasping for breaths, beating the water with his hands as he gulped again and again.

'Why is no one coming?'

'Are the sharks gonna swallow me?'

'Someone please... come'

'Someone'

Bangchan laughed out when Romeo pulled his head up again.

He was about to shove it back for the third time when the roof of the cave broke suddenly, and stones rolled in.

It's almost like an earthquake as a car landed in, the tyres screeching hard.

The members stood immediately, and the top members grabbed their guns.

Yeji, Juliet, Romeo and Bangchan.

The others stood at alert, and their eyes widened when two masked guys came out of the car.

Their mask is red and white, the opposite of their own.

"The Vikings" Bangchan muttered, pocketing his phone.

More members jumped in through the roof, and within three minutes, over twenty Vikings members are already in.

"How dare y'all interrupt!" Yeji grinded.

"And show your faces, cowards!" Bangchan yelled.

He has barely said that when one of the first two guys took off his mask..

Hyunjin!

Eyes widened, but the shock doubled when the second one took off his mask.

Bangchan.

"What the fuck" Romeo muttered.

The third person to take off her mask is a female...

Lisa.

"The hell" Juliet dropped her hand in total shock.

Then the last person jumped into the cave, masked in total black.

He jumped down from the car bonnet, making dusts fly as he stood in front of them all.

The moment he took off his mask, revealing his sweaty cold face, Bangchan lost his voice.

One and only Jeon Jungkook!

"Welcome, Unholy Lion, the king" Hyunjin hailed.

"Y--ou?" Bangchan stuttered.

It's like the rest of his members are tied because they couldn't move.

The shock is too much to dissolve obviously.

Jungkook looked over at Jimin's unconscious body on the ground, and the darkness fogged around him even more, choking him mercilessly like a noose.

Fire was burning sinisterly in his eyes as he drew out his belt.

Surprisingly, the belt is a foldable sword, and the moment it came out, it stood straight in his hand.

He threw it forward, and it flew into the crowd of The Scorpios.

It came back to him after a minute, stained with blood already.

Immediately he caught the sword back, the heads of four Scorpios fell from their necks, and blood flowed like a river.

"Jungkook!!!!!!" Bangchan roared.

"Wrong" Jungkook rolled his eyes devilishly, throwing the sword at  Bangchan.
