Pressed Petals Ep-4
Two days passed in uneasy stillness.
Jungkook hadn’t touched him—not physically, not overtly.
But Taehyung could feel him everywhere.
Jungkook always appeared nearby, saying nothing, watching him with eyes that never blinked for long.
There was no cruelty in those days.
But that was what terrified Taehyung the most.
Jungkook never forced a word on him. He was giving him his time.. Time to submit himself!
He acted as if Taehyung had chosen this place, this silence between them.
Taehyung
*The unease inside him grew louder with each passing day. He felt the trap tightening.*
Every time he caught Jungkook watching him, eyes calm but unreadable, his stomach twisted. Not from fear.. But doubt.
Taehyung
*Is this how it is supposed to go on? For how long I have to live here like a voiceless showpiece?*
Taehyung
*What if I end up falling for his fake care?*
Those starved of love don’t ease into affection—they dive headfirst, mistaking every flicker of warmth for forever.
On the third night, Taehyung made his decision.
He waited until Jungkook was asleep. Or pretending to be.
He crept out of the bedroom barefoot, moving soundlessly down the hallway.
He didn’t grab anything. He couldn’t risk the time. Just his phone, tucked silently into his back pocket.
The front door was just ahead. He reached for the knob.
Cold metal met his skin.
Jeon Jungkook
Going somewhere, Taehyung? ❄️😏
The voice was soft. Drowsy.
Taehyung froze, spine locking. He turned around slowly.
Jungkook stood behind him, barefoot, dressed in black sweatpants and a loose shirt.
He looked disheveled, almost harmless—if you didn’t look too closely.
Taehyung
I.. I.. Wa..water! 😣
Taehyung
*His heart pounding rapidly*
Jungkook tilted his head slightly.
Jeon Jungkook
*Came closer and grabbed his jaw firmly* After everything I’ve done for you these past two days.. You dare to run away? Huh!
Taehyung
That’s not… I didn’t ask you to-
Jeon Jungkook
No? *He interrupted, stepping closer* I think you are right! You didn't ask me to give you time 😏💢
Jeon Jungkook
I should have tested your body that very day ❄️💢 *Tightened his grip on his jaw*
Jeon Jungkook
It was my mistake to let you get comfortable😏
Jeon Jungkook
And you? You want to walk away like it meant nothing? Funny enough!
Taehyung
It didn’t mean anything! 💢
Taehyung snapped, desperate to keep distance between himself and whatever was flickering in Jungkook’s eyes.
Taehyung
It was fake. It was control.
Taehyung
You wanted to let your power sink in! To show your dominance.. To highlight my vulnerability that I can't leave your residence 💢
Jungkook’s jaw clenched. His voice dropped lower, too calm.
Jeon Jungkook
You’re starting to sound rebellious
Taehyung
*He flinched.* Don’t twist this 💢
Jungkook took something out of his pocket and tossed it at him.
The screen was already lit up.
One image filled the display.
A candid shot. He looked like he was leaving work, phone in hand, earbuds in. Unaware. Vulnerable.
Taehyung’s breath caught in his throat.
Taehyung
Y.you have been following him? 😰
Jeon Jungkook
I didn’t touch him!
Jeon Jungkook
And I wouldn’t do that... Unless you force me to.❄️
Jeon Jungkook
You really don’t get it, do you? 🤨
Jeon Jungkook
I’ve been good to you, Taehyung. I’ve been patient. I gave you space. I gave you time. I fed you. I let you sleep beside me...
Jeon Jungkook
You are testing my patience 💢
Jeon Jungkook
Every fu*king day! ❄️ *His voice nearly a whisper*
Taehyung’s lips parted in disbelief.
Taehyung
You think any of that excuses this?
Taehyung
You just want to possess me.. To use me and then, then to throw me when you're bored💢
Jungkook stepped forward, stopping inches from Taehyung, voice low and terrifying in its intimacy.
Jeon Jungkook
You belong to me now. And I don't care about anything ❄️
Taehyung’s hands curled into fists at his sides.
Taehyung
*He took a deep breath* Why are you dragging Jimin into this? What are you going to do to him?
Jeon Jungkook
That depends on you
Jungkook said, unexpectedly gentle.
Jeon Jungkook
Don’t run again. Don’t test me. And he stays untouched. Safe. Smiling. Just like you remember him.
Taehyung
And if I don’t? *He whispered.*
Jungkook leaned in, his forehead touching his.
Jeon Jungkook
Then the next time you see him, he won’t be smiling😊
The breath left Taehyung’s lungs.
His heart screamed for him to punch Jungkook, to run, to scream, to fight. But his body refused.
Instead, he turned away from the door and walked back toward the bedroom, shoulders stiff, jaw locked.
Jungkook followed behind him in silence.
Taehyung didn’t react. He climbed into bed and stared at the ceiling until morning.
His mind was already lost in his own string of thoughts.
One day... soon, he’d leave!
Jimin was worried about Taehyung. The last time he saw him was three days ago and since then there's been no message from him.
He also visited his house but it was untouched
He also reported it to the police but nothing happened.
He was now walking back to his home from his work but there was an uneasiness in his heart- as if someone was following him.
It's been three days since he started getting followed.
He retraced his steps three times, yet the shadow was still there, lingering behind him.
And then, as if on cue, Min Yoongi stepped from the shadows
Calm. Controlled. Always a little too quiet to trust.
Jimin
YOU!!! Again? *Jimin snapped.* Why the hell are you following me? I'm done pretending not to notice! 💢
Yoongi didn’t bother with denial.
Jimin
Ahem! I mean.. Jungkook’s?
Yoongi gave a nod like it wasn’t worth elaborating.
Jimin stepped closer, fury laced with fear.
Jimin
What does he want from me? I'm not part of this—
Min Yoongi
You just don’t get it.
Jimin
Then make me get it!
Yoongi stared at him for a long moment. Then he spoke flatly.
Jimin
*His eyes widened at the mention of his name* D.don't tell me he's still there? 😰
Min Yoongi
*Nods nonchalantly*
Min Yoongi
Yeah.. But he keeps trying to run
Min Yoongi
And every time he tries, every time he even thinks about it… Jungkook reminds him that I know where you are!
Jimin
H.he's using me as bait to exploit my Tae? 🥺
Jimin
*His mouth went dry.*
Min Yoongi
You’re not the cage. You’re the chain. You keep him tied down
Jimin
Why... Why are you telling me this? *He asked, voice raw.* What guilt is finally catching up to you?
Min Yoongi
Because if.. if you push the wrong button—Jungkook won’t just use you. He’ll break you
Jimin
I won’t let him hurt Taehyung😰
Min Yoongi
This is why I'm warning you! don't do anything stupid which can put you both in danger!
Min Yoongi
Do you think the police will help you? ❄️
Min Yoongi
I'm always watching you!
Min Yoongi
*His voice sharpened.* Taehyung is letting himself be caged because that’s what protects you.
Jimin shook his head, stepping back, panic and fury rising.
Min Yoongi
S.so just.. Stay away! (It's for your own good)
The cold night pressed in around them.
Jimin stood frozen in place as Yoongi disappeared back into the crowd.
A little flashback of a conversation between Jungkook and Yoongi
Min Yoongi
Jungkook! Why are you dragging that pink head into this mess?
Min Yoongi
He has nothing to do with this
Jeon Jungkook
You're questioning me? ❄️
Min Yoongi
N.no.. I'm not! it's just.. He's innocent
Jeon Jungkook
*Scoffed* Oh!
Jeon Jungkook
You like that boy?
The question hung in the air heavily
