“ Scared of destiny,
Scared of past...
Scared of nightmares,
Still healing other's scars.. ”

Third Person's POV

" Wh-where am I now ? " The boy asked after waking up in a unfamiliar room. His eyes were trying to adjust with the light of the room as he tried to sit up. But his wounds weren't helping.

" Hell. " Another deep voice roared inside the room making the other suddenly flinch and look at the voice's direction.

" Ki-Kim Taehyung... " The boy recognised Taehyung in the very first glance and he wasn't quite happy. Just like seeing Jungkook is a nightmare, seeing Kim Taehyung is not safe at all.

" Sehun. " Taehyung called gritting his teeth . " Wh-why are you here ? " Sehun asked and Taehyung raised his eyebrows. " I think I should ask that to you instead. " Taehyung spat.

" Jungkook took me here. I- I will work for h-him. " Sehun said and Taehyung suddenly got off of the couch marching towards him .

" You'll fucking work for no one ! You wanted to kill Jungkook ! You motherfucker ! " Taehyung yelled grabbing Sehun's collar almost choking him.

" I did...but now I wo-won't ! I'm only here for my deserved property and the dead body of Park Jimin ! " Sehun said unknowingly making Taehyung's blood boil.

" YOU MOTHER FUCKING FILTHY MORON ! " Taehyung yelled slapping hard across Sehun's face who hissed in pain.

" You will never get any fucking thing ! Before that, I'll fucking kill you! Cut you into pieces and throw on the road! DON'T FUCKING DARE TO HURT JUNGKOOK AND J-UGHHH ! " Taehyung frustratedly clutched a fistful of Sehun's hair.

" Dare to fuck with anything and I'll fuck your death harder ! " Taehyung snarled making Sehun gulp.

" Live few days of your life Sehun. You'll be tasting your death soon " Taehyung said throwing Sehun away and leaving the room.

Sehun was angry and confused .

" It's not me who'll be tasting death. It will be you! Your Emperor and his damn Doll ! And everything will be mine mine and MINE ! " Sehun said as an ominous smirk appeared on his face.

" Ah-ahnnn nh.... " Jimin moaned louder as Jungkook nibbled over the already marked spots on his neck. The hot water was still pouring over them as Jungkook held Jimin against the glass wall.

Jimin's fingers were tangled in Jungkook's wet raven locks as the older claimed his lips again.

" Will you keep wanting it to be only me ? Like this ? " Jungkook asked again Jimin's lips.

" Even after my death... " Jimin replied instantly . " Just let me be there with you Master... wherever it is, whenever it is... I just want to be called yours... " Jimin continued as he tried to pull Jungkook more closer. He really felt dizzy and it made him think he's tired and sleepy.

" You'll get hurt in the end . Why are you in this loosing game then ? " Jungkook asked pressing Jimin more on the wall with his hands roaming all over the younger's body .

" Cause I love the master of this game... I adore this game where only
he can rule me.... Cause it's the game where I'll only die if he orders me too... I've got nothing to loose except my life in this game and I'll gladly loose it if he wants...if he's happy...if he smiles... " Jimin said whatever he felt as tears left his closed eyes.

On the other hand Jungkook didn't know why those words were making him restless inside. Why is Jimin so selfless ? Why doesn't he fear death ? If you ask Jungkook, he'll accept that Jimin is the most fearless person he has ever seen. Jimin looks like he has faced death before and it somehow made him this fearless. Jungkook knew Jimin wasn't lying cause his Baby Doll can never.

" Master.... " Jimin called with a little voice and they looked onto each other's eyes.

" Hmm ? " Jungkook asked trying to see through the younger. Just like Jimin saw a dark sea inside Jungkook's irises... Jungkook also saw the galaxy in Jimin's eyes where he'll gladly get lost forever cause he knew in the end there will be a single person who'll fight with everyone and everything to hold his hand and pull him back from the dark. There will be his Jimin with him.

" Can I ask for something ? " Jimin asked with his blurred eyes as Jungkook held his nape with his thumb caressing Jimin's side face. Jungkook was surprised yet somehow delighted that finally Jimin was asking for something. The boy never asks for anything unlike Everyone.

Jungkook nodded slightly still looking at Jimin's drowsy eyes . He knew Jimin was too tired . The younger smiled looking at the older.

" Don't ever hate yourself for anything. Don't ever hurt yourself, hurt me if anything but not yourself. Let your anger and hatred out on me but not on yourself. Just let me heal the scars everyone has made... " Jimin said smiling through his tears and there was something in Jungkook which was wanting to let out a scream and stop Jimin. Once again Jimin didn't ask for anything except getting hurt !

" Don't you want anything for yourself ? " Jungkook unknowingly asked with a little yet noticable desparate voice.

" It's for me. " Jimin answered suddenly resting his head on Jungkook's shoulder making the older gulp .

" How ? " Jungkook asked genuinely curious to hear anything Jimin will say cause he unknowingly liked to hear everything Jimin ever said.

Suddenly Jimin giggled lightly against Jungkook's neck as he was slowly loosing his consciousness or falling asleep. " You'll not believe it if I say master.... " Jimin said feeling the older's hold getting tighter around his waist.

" Cause it's something related to Love which you don't believe in... " Jimin continued as tears left his eyes. Jungkook didn't know why he was feeling too unsettled inside.

" Tell me before I loose my patience Baby Doll. It'll not be pleasant for you to get tied up and locked up in a basement cell. " Jungkook growled beside Jimin's ear while the younger hugged his shoulders tighter, smiling through tears.

" When we love someone, their happiness makes us happier than our own. When the loved ones smiles it feels like we've nothing more to see in this life.... their smiles, happiness becomes the destinations of our life...it makes us desparate to the point when we can sacrifice our everything to see them loved, happy and smiling...." Jimin said still hiding his face in the crook of Jungkook's neck as he couldn't keep his eyes open anymore.

" And I love you...so I'm happy with all the hatred, pain, scars even death if it makes you smile...if it makes you happy... " Jimin's voice was just above whisper as Jungkook clearly felt Jimin's lips stopping to move against his neck. Once again the older was spell bounded by the words the younger has said. What should he even say ? What is there left to say ? Jimin wasn't a bit scared about himself . All he cared about is his loved ones.

Somehow it made Jungkook blink rapidly and his mouth opened to say something but nothing came out of his throat. Why was Jimin so selfless ? Why do he cares about everyone's happiness ? Why isn't he selfish ! Even a little bit ?

" What have I ever done for you ? Nothing. Still you do all these for me. Are you really real... ? Will you really be here for me...? Always ? If one day I end everything and want to run away..will you still be with me..? "
Jungkook unconsciously kept thinking all these as his hand softly roamed over Jimin's bare back .

He didn't know after how long but he realised that Jimin stopped talking or moving and his face was still resting on his shoulder.

" Baby Doll ? " Jungkook called turning off the shower. But he got no answer. " Dollie ? " He again called moving his hand to hold Jimin's nape .
Again no answer.

" Jimin ? " Jungkook again called trying to move Jimin's face a little and he realised that the younger fell asleep on his lap. " Huh ? " Jungkook gasped rolling his eyes. " How can he just fall asleep in the shower? " Jungkook talked to no one but didn't really wanted to put Jimin down or break his sleep.

Jungkook walked out of the shower with Jimin sleeping on his shoulder. Taking a silk wine coloured Robe, he wrapped it around Jimin and made him sit carefully on the bathroom stools . Wrapping a black robe around himself , Jungkook took a towel.

" Jimin ? " Jungkook called with a low deep voice while holding Jimin's shoulder. But the way he called the younger, it wasn't really the voice that is used to wake someone up. It was too low to even hear. May be he didn't even want to disturb the younger's sleep as he still was carefully holding Jimin.

" Wake up. " Jungkook said nonetheless , this time his voice was more low. It was like he was creating an excuse for himself that he tried to wake Jimin up but the younger didn't wake up. This way he will be able to answer himself that he didn't show any types of kindness towards the younger boy.

With a poker face on , Jungkook put the towel over Jimin's head and slowly started to squeeze the excess water out. For the first time in his life he was doing it for someone. He didn't know what kind of emotions were hitting him hard inside which made him not blink at all. His face clearly showed nothing but his actions said other wise. What was he even doing? And why ? Who was Jimin to him ?

Jimin's side face was resting on Jungkook's stomach as the older wiped his soft dirty blonde hairs . On the other hand Jungkook's mind flew back to fifteen years ago. His mother used to do this... He was always a happy kid with the factory of excitement and spirit. He used to give his mother a hard time with his endless questions about everything. But his mother always gave attention to whatever he said....." Just like my Jimin does "... Jungkook thought in the end.

« A little flashback »

" Mom I want to learn dance ! " A little eight years old boy exclaimed as his mother combed his hair.

" Do you like dancing Kookie ? " His mother asked smiling and he nodded aggressively.

" yes yes ! It's so cool ! I want to learn it and then I'll perform infront of Everyone !! Will they watch it mom? "

" Of course they will watch it baby but first you need to work hard for it. You need to make yourself good enough to worth their time...you need to show that you can do it and you did it... okay baby? " His mother said fixing his school uniform collar.

" Yes Mom ! I'll prove it ! I want to be a dancer ! "The boy chimed with anticipation.

" Really ? My little Kookie wants to be a dancer ? Then what about helping Appa with the papers in the office ? I heard my Kookie said that he wants to help appa after growing up ? " The lady asked with a smile.

" I will help hehehe ! But I'll not do anything else there ! I'll be a dancer . Will you and appa be angry on me for not doing business like you want ? But mo-mom I don't wa-want it....." The boy looked scared in the end cause he knew his mother might not like his words.

" Baby who said we will be angry ? Oww my Sweetie....we want you to do whatever makes you happy. We will do anything to make you happy. If you're happy with anything we will support it.   There's a lot of time for you to decide what you want to be Kookie... don't stress about it.. you're just our little prince..." she genuinely said carresing her son's face.

" Bu-but she sa-said I have to do business like appa and you...but I really don't want to do it...Big office buildings makes me feel sca-scared... I ca-can't be like you and a-appa... I-I do-dont wanna live a-alone inside the crowd and big places..," the boy was really nervous to convey whatever he felt but he said it to his mother.

" Who said this Kookie ? It's absolutely wrong ! You don't have to do anything because we do it. It's your life baby and only you can decide what you want , just don't ever think about these. You've a lot of time and remember me and appa will always be here for you..if not ,someone else will definately be here..." His mother said wrapping her hands around the little boy.

" No no mom ! I only want you and appa ! Taelien, Auntie and uncle ! And miss Lee ? And my teacher cause she's so good to me? And -and if I make a new friend whom I saw yesterday....and driver uncle too !  They're our family too right ? " The boy said with happiness.

" Yes they are Sweetie. Always stay like this. My bubbly little bunny. You deserve all the happiness in the World for being this good... may god always keeps my innocent little boy safe. But who's the new friend ? "

" We're not friends yet...you know mom he was so cute! Like really ! Very very pretty but... but he was quiet..he didn't look at me ! I smiled at him but he didn't ! He looked sad mom ! " The boy excitedly said with true emotions flowing over his face .

" Aw aww my boy calm down ! May I know where you saw the boy who is making my prince this excited ? "

" In the party mom ! You remember him ? He was with the pretty auntie and scary looking uncle ! That uncle was holding his hand..." He tried to explain.

" Oh...them..oh boy you...." The lady didn't complete her words as she somehow now who were them.

" Yes yes I know you remember ! But Tae said auntie told him that .... that cute boy was bad... he's arrogant and doesn't talk with anyone cause he's rich..and good boys doesn't do it" the boy stated quite sadly, looking dissapointed.

" Really...? But Kookie.. remember what I taught you. Don't judge someone for anyone's words till you yourself know them.. okay ? May be he's a good boy? And wants to be your friend as well ?" The lady said rubbing his son's back to soothe his restlessness.

" Yes yes mom ! I'll make him my friend no matter what ! And I'll make him smile ! Yay yay I'll have a Doll friend ! He's a Doll !! " The boy said determined and his mother gave him a smile.

« Flashback Ends »

Jungkook threw away the wet towel somewhere inside the bathroom before holding Jimin's sleeping chin with both his hands. He stared at Jimin for few seconds with his steadfast gaze. He didn't know what he was thinking nor he wanted to know. He never understands himself whenever the matter comes to Jimin.

" Why do you smile for me Dollie ? When all I do is make you cry ? " Jungkook unknowingly asked as his face scanned the younger's face.

" Whatever you do, you'll end up dying in this game. Cause there's no place of happiness in my life. But you will gladly follow me in the dark , won't you ? " Jungkook asked to the sleeping Jimin before closing his eyes for a moment.

Afterwards he took Jimin in his arms again, bridal style and walked out of the bathroom. After Placing Jimin on the bed he stood there staring at Jimin for god knows how long without even blinking for once. His mind ran here to there for answers of some unknown question buy he couldn't find one....or may be he knew his answer but was too stubborn to accept it... or may be scared to accept it ?

The sky was still dark outside and the rain was pouring like it will never end. Jungkook turned of the neon lights before walking out of the room silently, giving Jimin a look of some unknown feelings before closing the door.

Hours after, it was still dark outside cause it was already evening. The dark clouds were still wrapped like a curtain over the sky but the rain stopped.

The room grew more darker and silent , only the faint sound of breath echoing inside. Jimin's eyes squinted as he was waking up. After few seconds his eyes fluttered open and he only saw dark.

His eyebrows scrunched cause he couldn't recognise the room properly and his memory was quite blur . He clutched his eyes shut again and a very familiar face flashed over his eyes. It was his favourite person, his beloved Devil . A sleepy smile spread
across his face as he slowly remembered his dance performance, Jungkook's arrival, his winning and then...here. He opened his eyes and tried to adjust in the dark atmosphere before slowly trying to get up.

His body was still sore but it felt better now. He didn't remember how he ended up in bed but clearly remembered that he was in the older's lap before falling asleep suddenly. A yawn left his mouth as he sat on the bed with his silk robe falling off from his shoulder and the soft blanket covering his lower half.

" Where is he...? " Jimin asked to no one while rubbing his drowsy eyes. He was feeling tired and still sleepy but he was suddenly missing the older. Not to mention he was getting paranoid in the dark and didn't know what time it was.

" Ma-master ? " Jimin called with a soft voice as he blinked rapidly. He threw away the velvety blanket before getting off of the bed. The silk robe was loosely tied around his waist  and was lying loose over his shoulder. His delicate flawless skin was marked in every inch. Red, purple dark marks were decorated over his collarbone ,chest and neck.

" Master...? Where are you...? " Jimin called walking in the dark with slow steps but suddenly he felt very scared. A vivid memory hit his brain like a thunder storm and he clutched his eyes shut as his head pained.
.
.

" APPA !!! Appa what are you doing !! Don't hurt mummy! Please appa! Please please !! Don't hurt mummy ! ", The little boy pleaded kneeling down on the floor as he cried miserably.

" Shut up ! Stop with this crying you little shit ! " The angry man yelled at the boy, making him cry louder in fear. He had a bandage over his head and one over his little right hand cause he just came back from hospital after staying there for three days. He was admitted to hospital cause he came between when his mother was getting beaten.

" Jimin baby go to your room ! Mummy will be alright...just go ! " A crying lady pleaded to her little son as she never wanted her son to get more hurt than he already was.

" No no mummy! Appa Please ! Please listen to me ! I'll obey whatever you'll say ! I'll be a good boy I promise! I'll never want to be friend with anyone! I'll never ask Mummy to let me talk with that hyung!  Please don't hurt mummy ! " The little boy was a crying mess.

" See Chun-hei your son even understands everything ! Huh ! Then can I say it's your influence over him !? Huhh answer me! You're teaching him to want to be friends with the enemies ! You want that fucker's filthy son to be friend with my only son !? Huh ? " The man yelled making everyone shiver in the mansion.

" They're Just kids ! Just like Jimin , he's their precious son as well ! What the heck is wrong with you ! Our business isn't in the middle of kids ! " The lady reasoned still crying as the angry man marched towards her.

" It is middle of everyone ! Just fucking remember Jimin is my son and he'll do whatever I want ! You can't manipulate him to do anything you want Chun-hei ! " The man spat grabbing a fistful of the lady's hair and the little boy cried more.

" Stop! Don't hurt him ! " The lady cried as the man marched towards the boy.

" A-appa I- I'm so-sorry... I'm so so sorry... I don't want to be friends with that hyung anymore....not anymore.." the boy said backing away in fear.

" Jimin ! " The man called making the little boy's lips quiver. " N-no Appa..",
The boy cried as the man grabbed his hands.

" Who told you that you should talk with that boy ? Mummy right ? " The man asked scaring the boy more. " No appa... I my-myself to-told mummy.. that -that I want to make friends with th-that hy-hyung...." The boy answered sniffing.

" WHY ? " The man yelled over the shivering boy's face . " Ca-cause that hyung lo-looked ni-nice...he..he smiled at me....he smiled at me bu-but I didn't...st-still he smiled...he..he had bunny teeth... he's a go-good hyung..." The boy innocently yet scaredly said while his mother was shaking her head , indicating him to stop saying all these to his father.

" Here I see. You're already ruining him Chun-hei. Wow. JUST FUCKING WOW ! Well done ! " The man yelled glaring at his wife.

" AERA ! TAKE JIMIN AWAY FROM HERE ! AND PACK HIS BAGS ! HE'S LEAVING FOR NEW YORK TOMORROW ! AND HE'LL BE LIVING THERE TILL THIS FRIENDSHIP SHIT LEAVES HIS HEAD ! " As the man ended his sentence a maid came rushing and took the little boy in her lap before exciting the room while avoiding the desparate cries of the little boy.
.
.
.
.

" No No No stop it !!! Don't take me away ! Wait ! Mummy ! " Jimin screamed falling on the bed while clutching his hair . He clearly saw his mother in the memory but not anymore else. He couldn't remember the man's face and it hurt him more.

" No no no Jimin stop!! Stop thinking about these ! It's not true ! It's just a dream! A nightmare ! " Jimin tried to tell himself as he clutched his eyes shut and started shivering cause his head was suddenly paining. He felt he was getting dizzy. A wave of nauseousness was hitting him badly.

He got off of the bed while still clutching his hair and rushed towards
the bathroom while stumbling in the way. Somehow he made it to the basin and supported his hands on the counter by clutching the edge of it. The immense pain he felt in his head was making him pant. He felt like vomiting but nothing really came out of his mouth other than white liquid. He coughed miserably and panted afterwards. His heart beat was quite too fast with his chest heaving up and down.

Turning on the tap he watched the water flow down and vanish in the sink silently, trying to calm his rapid breaths, trying to forget about the horrible nightmare where someone was rudely yelling at his beloved mother. As he pressurised himself to remember the man's face and the place where they were, everything got blurry again. He hissed in pain and frustration as those memories were leaving his brain once again .

" Mummy..." Jimin called in a whispery voice as tears left his eyes. Everytime he remembers Something like this....he thinks bad about himself. He thinks he never was able to save his mother. He was useless and still is. He had one relief over all this and it was his mother telling him that " it wasn't true Jiminie..it was all a nightmare.."

" Nigh-night mare..." Jimin said with a hoarse voice as he closed his eyes while resting his head on the mirror .
Seconds after when his headache was dying down a little  .... he felt something warm on his nose. He opened his eyes only to see blood mixing with the water on the basin.

His heart sank in fear as he looked up only to see his blood coming out of his nose again. His eyes widened in terror as he blinked for numerous times. Last time when it happened he was scared, now it made his heart shiver. Why was that even happening? He was always scared of blood ! He quickly tried to wash it away but it wasn't stopping which made him more scared.

" Stop stop ! Please stop ! I hate it please stop ! " Jimin desparately said to no one as an unknown fear was engulfing him badly, he was loosing his mind and he knew his panic attack will occur in no time if he stays anxious like this .

" Please please ! " Jimin pleaded to no one as pearl like tears left his eyes while he was continuously rubbing away the blood from his nose with water.

After some time it stopped and Jimin was already a crying mess with his bangs dripping wet with water, his face glistening with water and the excess water rolling down through his neck and rolling more down between his chest curves. He was scared even after it stopped. He was panting when he ran out of the bathroom.

" Ma-master ! " Jimin's voice was desparate when he entered the dark room again. He wanted to see the older ...nope, he needed to see the older. He somehow wanted to reach him cause his one and only safe shelter was his beloved devil.

" Master please ! Where are you !! " Jimin cried out trying to reach the door in the dark . He was paranoid and it made him stumble with the table beside the door and the table contained whiskey bottles and glasses. The corner of the table hit his left forearm and it ached painfully .

The glasses along with the whiskey bottle fell on the marble floor, shattering into pieces with sharp shattering sounds filling the room which made Jimin's breath hitch with a wave of anxiety hitting him.

" Ahahaaaaaa !!! " Jimin screamed scooting away while clutching his forearm with his right hand. " Stop stop STOP !!! " Jimin screamed in the end as the glasses were continuously falling and the shattering sounds were continuously echoing through the room , it was hurting his ear buds.

" Master...! " Jimin called nonetheless and clutched his eyes shut, he was walking backwards . He didn't realise When the door opened.

While backing away Jimin didn't realise the couch corner behind him.

" Stop stop ! Master !! " Jimin was still chanting and his leg stumbled against the couch which made him trip. He was ready to get hit with the floor in seconds but it didn't happen.

Before Jimin could fall, a strong hand quickly got wrapped around his delicate waist, restraining him from falling.

Jimin thought why wasn't he falling and soon after realised or felt the familiar hand around his waist. He opened his eyes... only to see it was no one other than Jungkook who was holding him.

" Ma-master....." Jimin muttered gulping down as Jungkook pulled him up and flicked his fingers. By a single flick of his fingers the room lit up instantly making Jimin gasp.

Jungkook was staring at Jimin with impenetrable expressions with his jaw clenched and eyes staring at Jimin's soul. But soon he realised the younger was scared. He rushed in the room when he heard Jimin's scream. He didn't know why he felt a sudden rush of fear .

Jungkook scanned Jimin's face, his wet hair, disheveled state and how the younger was shivering. His mind ran back to that day where he encountered Jimin's panic attack.

" What happened ? " Jungkook's voice came out sterner than he actually wanted. He didn't really regret it till Jimin's eyes teared up and the younger suddenly hugged him.

Jungkook's emotionless eyes widened at Jimin's action as the younger wrapped his hands around Jungkook's waist while burying his face on the crook of his neck. Jungkook gulped, unknowingly.

" S-scared.... " Jimin's voice was muffled between his quivery breath and Jungkook didn't know what to do even when he wanted to do something. He just blinked before hesitantly placing his hands over Jimin's back.

“ Sometimes the most dangerous places are actually the most safest....Damn Destiny. ”
