Jungkook had been doing nothing but gaming.

He used to feel that pleasure when he played games, but somehow it was making his mood even worse. Perhaps it was because gaming led him to all of these terrible situations. But he didn't know any other way to make himself feel better. Perhaps... if he played a little more, it would numb his depression a little.

Jungkook saw Yoongi's reflection from his computer as he entered the room. Jungkook low key wondered how on earth did Yoongi sneak into the campus, but then he shook away that thought. He didn't care.

"Taehyung's in trouble." Yoongi started, looking down at his shoes while leaning on the wall.

Jungkook scoffed, continuing to play his game, refusing to face Yoongi. "And why should I care?"

Yoongi pounded the table. "God damn it, Jungkook. I understand that you won't forgive us because we're all dickheads and we wanted money but... Taehyung's situation was different! Taehyung literally has no choice but to help the boss in the first place."

Jungkook blinked as he finally turned his chair to Yoongi. "What do you mean?"

Yoongi let out a sigh. "They were the ones who searched for Taehyung. The same way they searched for you. They looked for Taehyung because they wanted a hacker who could find your location and identity."

Jungkook scoffed, "What? A hacker? Bullshit. Taehyung's a fucking model. He showed me his insta-"

"No he's not a model, that was all part of his cover. Trust me, I saw him taking these pictures. He knew at some point you would be searching for our identities."

Jungkook fumbled his eyebrows, still in disbelief.  "But then... why did Taehyung lie to me about his identity?"

Yoongi flashed a cool but sincere smile, "Because he didn't want to lose your trust, Jungkook." He sighed again, "can't you see that's what Taehyung's been doing these past few days?  Hell, all he wants is your trust because he has interest for you or whatnot."

The younger opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out. Yoongi continued, "do you know why Taehyung was left out that day? Because he was looking for a fucking way to get you out. And now he's in trouble cause the boss fucking found out about it. Damn it, Jungkook! He risked his own life to save you!"

The younger paused, "Wait- the boss found out that Taehyung was creating an escape plan?"

Yoongi looked away with a sigh. And that's where Jungkook knew Taehyung was worried and scared behind his calm appearance.  "YES."

Without any hesitation, Jungkook frantically stood up to pack his things.

"Woah, woah, woah, hold up, kid." Yoongi stopped him. "You're not going there alone."

Jungkook looked up at Yoongi "What do you mean?"

"Are you dumb? There's like a whole gang of tough guys where the boss is. There's no way you can get in or out of there alive."

"So what's your plan." Jungkook crossed his arms, sitting back on his chair.

"My plan is that you first calm the shit down." Yoongi sighed, glancing at his phone. "We're all gathering around at Namjoon's place.  Hopefully come up with a plan to save Taehyung."

"The apartment? No, hyung! That place is being watched." Jungkook widened his eyes.

"No, this place is Namjoon's real house, don't worry. We've all escaped from the boss." Yoongi assured, patting Jungkook's shoulder. "Anyways, we'll be waiting for you there, Jungkook. So get ready, okay?" Yoongi stepped out Jungkook's room casually, leaving Jungkook still processing the information.

Perhaps... he still hated Yoongi and the others, but he had no reason to hate Taehyung. Especially when he had been through so much worse than Jungkook. Not only was he forced to take orders like Jungkook, he was also being kidnapped.  And his scars that day... they were definitely beating him up...

DING! The game cried, and Jungkook's heart pounded. He fumbled in his pockets for his phone.

V: Hello Jungkook.

Jungkook sighed in relief, getting some sort of response from Taehyung.  However, the relief died down as soon as the next text popped up.

V: It seems that Taehyung has been a bad bad boy, hasn't he? A traitor.

A chill ran down Jungkook's spine. "F-fuck where's Taehyung?"

V: Oh don't you worry. Taehyung is safe with us.

Anger boiled in the boy's stomach, "I don't believe you, turn on the fucking camera."

The screen shifted to a video call and the sight of a burry Taehyung appeared.  Though, what made Jungkook's heart pound was the fact that Taehyung was motionless, his body leaning lifelessly on the wall.

"F-fuck, what did you do to him." Jungkook felt his fingers trembling, causing his phone to shake a bit.

The text box popped up under the videocall.

V: We'll take it easy on you, Jungkook. Just follow these steps and he'll be safe.

Of course.  Of course they wanted Jungkook to do something for them.  "Fine, what do you want."

V: We just want you to pay a casual visit to your father's company again

Jungkook remembered what Yoongi said about the boss having tough security around him.  They would obviously hurt or most likely kill Jungkook once they have what they need.  There's no way Jungkook will listen to him.  Fuck, it's definitely a trap.  "Hell no."

V: I'm not done yet, Jungkook. We want you to go back to your father's workspace to do a little talk with him, father to son. Easy, right?

"Cut the crap.  I'm not doing this shit for you." Jungkook's chest burned with annoyance for the boss.  He is sick of playing these fucking games.

V: Then... I guess we'll be having a bit of... fun with him.

A hand rested on the waist of his pants, pulling it down a little to reveal Taehyung's boxers. Taehyung's whimpers were heard in the background.

V: Ain't that right, sweets?

Jungkook bit his lip in anger. So hard that his lip started to bleed.

The camera panned back to Taehyung's face as a hand tried to touch his cheek. Taehyung tried to shift away from the disgusting hand, his face showing anger. Jungkook's heart was shattered as he saw the state that Taehyung was in. He wanted so badly to be there for him, to kick the balls out of that man.

Jungkook pounded on the desk, his hands trembling more than ever. "FUCK. Don't you dare fucking rape him."

V: Later, my men will be causing a distraction outside, where your father will leave you behind in his room. That's where you will look in his desk drawers for that code. You know where it is, Jungkook.

"The code... f-for the bank vault?"

V: Exactly. You have one day. And you must do this alone, without your "little helpers" knowing anything about this.

"Little...helpers?"

V: Don't act so innocent, I know Yoongi and the others are on your side.  So don't you dare play your funny games on me, got that?

Jungkook swallowed as he nodded his head quickly.  Shit.  How the hell does he know?

V: Then you better be quick. Once you're done I'll send you the address ;) 

The text instantly stopped showing and Jungkook was left alone again in his room, an uneasy feeling at the back of his throat.  He hated following the boss's orders, falling for his mindgames.  But at the same time... 

Jungkook's recieved a phone call from Yoongi.  The younger quickly rejected the phone call, throwing it on his bed while walking off to pack his things again.

... he'll do all it takes in order to save Taehyung.

Even if it meant getting himself killed.
