Episode

Taehyung was laying silently on the bed, he could feel the time passing as the trays of food got changed. Every time he was said to eat but he never wanted to eat the food... deep inside he was a bit scared what if the food was mixed with some kind of drugs?

His mind was filled with more thoughts at the moment. Why the Mafia was targeting his father? What did his father do to make them mad?

He tried to remember anything bad related to his father but couldn't find anything. The only bad thing was that he never loved him as a son.

Time passed again and he felt his eyes getting closed with time.. he was feeling a bit weak with time but can't show that to others.

It must be night.

He thought as the food tray was filled with different foods and he concluded that specific foods were given to him at specific times.

No one will come now..

With that, he let his eyes be closed as soon as he did so, he was fast asleep due to weakness.

"Why did you do that?" Jungkook asked in rather a harsh tone as Yoongi just rolled his eyes.

"He was annoying... he even pushed me."

"You were trying to touch him in a bad way.. can't you expect a defensive act?"  Yoongi again just rolled his eyes.

"Whatever.. in the end, he had to be hurt," Yoongi muttered, taking a sip from the glass of wine. Jungkook felt his eyes burn on the words.

"But not now. Don't do that again.. not till I say so." Sighing in defeat, Yoongi nodded his head when Jungkook's voice turned more serious.

"So what's the plan for now?" Jungkook, who was checking some papers stopped while thinking for a moment.

"Let him be.. I heard he is suffering the way I want." A smirk formed on his lips at the word suffering related to his worst enemy...

"Once he let it out.. we will proceed with the second plan." Yoongi nodded his head with a smirk... the part he was waiting for desperately will come soon at this rate.

"I should be the first one to break him... ok," Yoongi demanded and Jungkook just hummed, still looking at papers.

"I was just thinking... he won't last long if he continued to do so... we won't be able to have some more fun." Yoongi started, catching Jungkook's attention again who cocked his brow.

"Can't you see? He isn't eating anything.. its already been three days and four nights. I don't think he will last longer like that."

Jungkook frowned on hearing that, he did notice the full food trays but he wasn't totally aware that he didn't even have a bite for three days.?

But he decided not to say anything to Yoongi and just called for Namjoon instead who came within seconds.

"Yes, Jungkook?" Namjoon asked as Yoongi was already gone from Jungkook's room.

"Go to his room and make him eat." It was the first time that Jungkook was allowing him to go to Taehyung's room.

"Ok." Namjoon quickly accepted that and went to the kitchen to have a tray of food and go to his room. Once he entered the room, he found the blond sleeping soundly.

His bandage was old and needed to be changed so Namjoon quickly went back to bring the first aid box. He changed his bandage carefully and Taehyung squirmed in his sleep, finally opening his eyes. After adjusting to the situation, he saw Namjoon for the first time and quickly scooted away from him which Namjoon felt hurt.

"Hey don't worry.. I won't hurt you. I was just changing your bandage." He said to which Taehyung looked up at his undone bandage and somehow he let the male complete the work, not uttering a word. He thought of them all as the same, dangerous, wolves ready to prey on him.

"W- why y- you want to hurt my f-father?" His voice was hoarse and so low but Namjoon heard that clearly.

"He did something worse years ago.. to.. to Jungkook." He said while putting the things back in the box.

"What?"

"I don't know the details but definitely something too bad to leave scars on his heart." Taehyung felt suffocated by the choice of words.

"My father can't do anything like that," Taehyung frowned and Namjoon narrowed his eyes at the tone.

"Listen... please eat something. You should take care of yourself-"

"Care? How did you suppose to say it so easily like I am not kidnapped? Like I am here on vacation?" Taehyung spat, feeling his blood boil when he glared over the male.

"Now leave and tell your JUNGKOOK.. to talk to me.." With that Taehyung again fell back on the bed keeping his head on another side. Namjoon felt defeated and got up to leave.

"My name is Namjoon by the way." Taehyung didn't respond.

Sighing in defeat once again... he left the room and this time Jungkook saw everything that happened there, and also listened to that.

"I am gonna search for him on my own," Jimin said to Jin who was leaning back on the couch.

"How?"

"I know someone... but first of all I want to talk with the staff of the hotel where the marriage was arranged." On the word of marriage, he felt a bitter taste on his tongue.

"Ok.. I am with you. Now I am sure he is in trouble. I just want to have him here now.. he must be so afraid." Jin mumbled with sadness filled voice at the thought of seeing a hurt Taehyung.

Jungkook entered the room in the middle night, he came after putting the password on the screen and said his men to leave him alone. When he entered the room, he saw the blond sitting on the bed.. head leaning on the headboard.

Taehyung woke up due to the sound of the door. He quickly got up and sat up on the bed... his face was down, looking at his own lap when the steps approached him.

Jungkook silently entered the room and observed the male who was still in his marriage outfit. His eyes.. bloodshot red.. his face pale.. his lips chapped.. his head was still wrapped in a big bandage, a sight which can make anyone feel soft for the innocent-looking boy, but he was Jungkook.

"What do you want?" Taehyung asked, still looking at his lap. His voice was laced with hate and it wasn't hidden.

Jungkook snickered at his tone... he was amused by the way he was talking. Even in this situation, he wanted to show that he is brave.?

"Pain... suffering..." Jungkook started advancing a few steps toward the bed. Taehyung looked up at him with a deep frown on his flawless skin and Jungkook halted for a moment.. the boy was looking still beautiful... still handsome though he was in so bad condition.

"You are on wrong track Mr." Taehyung spat at him in the next second, causing Jungkook to come back from his thoughts.

"What?" His voice became filled with anger when his eyes twitched. 

"You want to give this pain to my father? You said that you are using me as bait.. so I am correcting you.. that you are on a wrong track." Taehyung smirked, delivering the words with confidence. He saw Jungkook's eyes twitch in anger again and it was satisfactory.

"You are being so brave, boy. Don't get yourself in more trouble." Jungkook hissed at him.. fists getting tighter the way Taehyung was mocking him through his eyes.

"Oh no no.. I was just curious... why are you doing so when you can't get what you want?" Jungkook lost it at the sarcasm and grabbed Taehyung's collar, jerking him up harshly.. the fragile boy stumbled a bit but was balanced by the strong grip.

"I am getting that.. you have no idea," Jungkook said in low voice and yanked away his body a bit. Taehyung again stumbled and felt a bit dizzy but didn't show up.

"Why? JUST WHY?" The burning feeling in his heart was getting too much to handle and Taehyung yelled at him in the end.

"Because he is a monster who ruined lives!" Taehyung lost it too, he stepped forward and grabbed Jungkook's collar instead, and the latter was totally shocked by his bravery.

"He is not.. he is a humble person, Mr. He could never hurt anyone... NOT AT ALL." Jungkook just watched him with a frown as Taehyung's expressions twisted and his eyes become filled with tears.

"He never loved me but he is kind to others." His voice fell with the words.. a sadness spread over his face within a span of milliseconds just as the words were delivered along with emotions.

"I-i always wanted to be close to him.. I was so close.. so close to having h-his love for me. But you," Taehyung looked up with anger-filled eyes again. Jungkook just watched him silently.. all of his emotions emitting from his eyes, all those twisted emotions flowing out like an unbound river and it made him feel something.

"You ruined it all... YOU RUINED IT." Jungkook grabbed his hands harshly from the collar, removing his hands while keep holding on.

"You know nothing... but he is a monster. And the way I am here.. is all because of him." Jungkook deadpanned on him... his jaw clenched in anger at the tone, shaking his inner cold side. No one... I repeat, no one ever talked to him like the way that blond was doing.

"I am trying my best to bear you but you are making it difficult for yourself. Don't pull my strings off.. I am not so patient." Jungkook warned as he leaned more on the petite boy who was breathing heavily with his gaze still fixed on those charcoal ones.

"I know nothing??" Taehyung chuckled humorlessly and Jungkook frowned at his behavior again. How come he is acting so brave knowing his surroundings? Did he not fear for his life?

"I spend my life with him... I know him more than you. He is my father you dammit.. and you are saying that I know nothing.?" Taehyung said with gritted teeth as he yanked away Jungkook's hands.

"Making it difficult for me? You kidnapped me... I am away from my family and friends. Do you think it could be more difficult for me? Huh? When you make me disappear from my own marriage... and you know what the best part?" Taehyung chuckled again as he moved extraordinarily close to the Mafia. Jungkook's eyes narrowed at his action but nothing came out of his mouth.

"They must be thinking that I ran away." Taehyung burst into laughter, he was laughing like crazy even his eyes were spilling tears down his cheeks by now. 

"They must be thinking that I ditched my own wedding... and must be having fun somewhere in the world.. with luxury." He said in between his laughter but his laughter turned into a sob as he bit his lip, a futile try to control his bursting, raging emotions that were flowing out continuously.

Jungkook watched him wrecking by his own emotions and now, deep inside he felt a bit bad for the boy. He knew that he was innocent but he can't help with the fact that he is the son of him. But right now, the situation was getting worse as he could feel the boy was losing his sanity bit by bit.

"Isn't it funny? They can't imagine.. especially my father.. that I am being kidnapped." Taehyung shook his head with a sad smile and closed his eyes again, gulping thickly.

"Why you did that t- to me? I never did anything wrong.. then why you punished me? What I wished?? Just l-love from m- my broken family??" His broken voice was doing something with Jungkook who felt a bit guilty.... a bit.

"But now it means nothing." Taehyung wiped away his tears harshly after opening them and looked back at Jungkook with the same death glare as he jumped over him, grabbing his collar once again in a tight hold.

"I don't want anything now.. this is useless.. this life is useless for me. I can't see hate in his eyes anymore.." Jungkook waited for the words.. he himself was surprised at how he was listening to him while other was throwing fits right at his face.

"Just kill me already," Taehyung demanded in his deep hoarse voice and Jungkook felt like he overheard.

How can someone ask for his death so easily? Was that actually too much for him to break completely?

"I SAID JUST KILL ME!" Taehyung yelled this time when the raven-haired looked up at him with narrowed eyes. He didn't overhear that.. the blond was really demanding death.

"I won't." He replied calmly though he could feel his heart beating faster... just like he felt when he first committed a crime years ago.

"I won't kill you." He again said and Taehyung's eyes turned more darker with words.. he pushed back the raven-haired harshly to which the other didn't budge but Taehyung himself stumbled back by his action.

Panting... breathing heavily, he glared with the most hate-filled gaze at the mafia standing in front of him.

"I HATE YOU... I hate you... i- h-" He yelled and yelled till he couldn't... he felt everything getting numb... he felt his body getting colder and his vision was showing blackness.

The words again attacked the mafia leader who gulped down his feeling. It wasn't like he never heard that before but hearing from that broken boy, was another thing.

Jungkook saw him as Taehyung was breathing heavily while his eyes look like they will shut at any moment..his arms limping on his sides.. his face looked more paler and cold sweat started to cover his body.

Soon, Taehyung finally closed his eyes as his body gave up completely due to a lack of energy. His slightly swinging body fell back freely on the mattress.. bouncing a bit after colliding there.

Jungkook panicked a bit and unwillingly, stepped closer to him, tapped on his cheeks where cold sweat lingered.

"Hey.. hey.. wake up. Open your eyes." He even tried to shake him up but Taehyung didn't budge instead it felt like he was barely breathing...

Or maybe not at all.
