Trigger warning : violence and hateful remarks

     "So that's what happens behind the closed door of the youngest and oldest member of BTS," Lee continued, "no wonder you were so interested in our Golden Rule," what happens in the dorm stays in the dorm," he laughed maliciously.

     "You-you're wrong, hyung," Jin tried to explain, trying in vain not to let himself be overcome by panic, "it is a misunderstanding, I swear! "

     "I'm afraid it's not," replied the manager, whose smile widened.

     He waved his phone in front of their noses, showing them the pictures he had just taken first and showing them the moment of the video he had filmed at the same time. The two boys were seen kissing in a position that left no doubt for anyone to see these photos.

     The video, meanwhile, captured Jungkook's words which sounded like a romantic declaration, no matter what the young man, confused by his own feelings, thought. Even worse, it sounded like an assault, considering the fact that Jin was clearly opposed to what Jungkook was doing to him. But in both case, the situation was critical for the two idols.

     "If I publish the video, it will be said that Jungkook forced Seokjin into a not consented and violent relationship, right?" Lee pointed out, pulling the phone away from the two boys. He was obviously enjoying their distress. 
    
      "Th-there is an explanation," Jin said, "please, let us explain..."

     "And if I publish this photo instead," Lee continued purposely ignoring Jin, "we will make you both responsible but mostly the older one will be blamed for taking advantage of the younger one. After all, it will be the open door to all possible hypotheses for your fans imagination: why? Why our little Jungkookie? When did it start? Was little Bunny of age at that time? Is it the eldest who took advantage of his innocence to pervert him? Oh, just thinking about it, I find this story exciting, I feel that you're going to take a big hit, Seokjin!"

    He burst into a thunderous laugh.

     "B-but that's not true!!" Jungkook exclaimed, scandalized. "None of that is!"

     "Yeah, it's you who says it, but I bet this photo will set fire to power keg no matter what you say. So boys, what do you think? What should I post between the photo and the video? Which reputation will be ruin tonight, that of Seokjin with the photo or that of Jungkook with the video? I'm giving you the option to choose because I'm in a good mood thanks to you, so hurry up before I change my mind."

     "No please, please hyung, listen to me before you..." Jungkook pleaded , on the verge of panic attack.

     "Choose, now," Lee cut him off, his smile suddenly fading, "you know I hate being made to repeat Jungkook."

     "P-Post the photo," Jin decided in a shaky voice, "and explain to them that I forced Jungkook."

     "No, hyung!" Jungkook protested, "It's my fault, I'll take the blame!"

    "Shut up, JK," Jin interrupted, turning to him, "I'm leaving the group for my military service, while your career would be shattered by this type of scandal ; I'm risking less immediately than you. I will take the responsibility."

     "You risk less, you said?" Lee sneered, "you are very innocent Seokjin. You can't even imagine how a Korean military camp full of men can treat a young man as pretty and sweet as you. Given your popularity and the scandal it will create, you won't be able to hide who and what you are, everyone will know it before you even foot set there. The military and the recruits make a point of representing virility, they totally despise faggot but they will not hesitate to use you at their ease for their needs and will make your life hell. And that for two long years. Can you imagine, now that I've told you?" Lee asked in a falsely dreamy tone, as what he was saying made him absolutely happy.

     Jin's face suddenly lost all color and he looked dead pale at the thought, leaving his distress completely took hold of him. 

     "No, no, no, please, I change my mind don't post this photo, I'm not gay, please hyung that was a mistake, we won't do it again..."

     "I know you're not gay, you idiot, you two were way too pathetic in bed. Unless you are just two virgins learning to kiss? But then was that kiss I surprised your very first? I am flattered to have attended."

     He burst out laughing in front of the stunned boys.

     "You... you know? But if you know we're not gay, it means that there is no reason for you to threaten us with that, right?" Jin asked, feeling almost relieved. "Then why...?"

     "Jungkook knows why. Huh, why don't you tell him Jungkook? " Lee said, looking at the youngest.

     Jin looked at Jungkook but the latter gave him a puzzled look and shook his head, not understanding where Lee was going.

     "I do not have the faintest idea, I swear!"

     "Really? Didn't I teach you that lying was wrong Jungkook?" Lee said like he was talking to a five year old child.

     "I'm not lying!" 

     "Don't you remember what happened earlier? Didn't you happen to drop by the company to threaten us today by any chance? Begging that Seokjin's departure be prevented "by all means"?

     "What?!" Jin exclaimed while Jungkook kept silent this time, understanding that Lee's threats was his fault.

     "I was just stopping by the dorm to have a chat with you and shake you a little, but I think I finally found a good way to punish you for your threats. From now on, if you don't want these documents leaking out and ruining your life and Seokjin's forever, I advise you to carefully follow the directions I will give you. This is how you threaten someone, Jungkook. A threat for a threat, I think it's fair fame."

     "So, are you going to blackmail us?!" Jin asked, shocked, as Jungkook was unable to utter a word.

     "You understood well," Lee agreed.

      "B-But you are our manager! You are supposed to watch over us and the group, not work to destroy us!"

     "Yeah... about that, I don't think I'm payed enough to miss such an opportunity to hold in my own hands two of the most popular idols of their time, sorry kid!" Lee apologized in a tone that couldn't stray further from regret.

      On the contrary, it was obvious that he was exulting at that moment, as  was his hour of glory and allowed himself to call him "kid" as if their relationship had suddenly changed. 

     "Please don't do that, Jungkook really wanted me to stay don't blame him for his threats, he was just desperate! I'm going to quit the band anyway and I guess that's what you're waiting for, so no need to take revenge on him now." Jin felt desperate. "I'm leaving, I swear!"

     When the manager was in his inhuman and bestial phase as he was now, it seemed impossible to reason with him. But maybe he could talk to Han later, to put things back in order?

     "No, you're going to stay," Lee decided.

     "Eh?" Jin exclaimed, puzzled.

     "Are you deaf or idiot? I said you're going to stay. You no longer go for military service."

     "B-B-But why?" Jin asked, hardly holding himself back from crying.

     "Because I said so," the manager simply said. "And above all, because it will be funnier for me to have you both here now. After all, little Jungkookie will be easier to control if you're are here to be punished in his place!"
