Trigger warning : violence, mention of rape, anxiety

     Jin was devastated. 

      He was ready to leave the company and secure a future free from their pressure and mistreatment, but he was now a prisoner of the company. The future suddenly seemed very dark to him, and he wished the earth had him swallowed up right now, refusing to face the life that awaited him. 

      He finally managed to look at Jungkook who, however, seemed absent, consumed with remorse, and did not want to look at him. The young singer was going over the images of the day and wondering how it could have gone so badly. How could he have done that to his hyung?

     "Seokjin, come to think of it..." Lee mused as Jin lifted his face to him again, and scratched his beardless chin, "you must be disappointed, you who have been desperately waiting to be able to do your military service, repeating that this would finally allow you to become a man."

     "N-no, I'm not," Jin lied, "I'm not disappointed."

     "No need to hide your emotions kid, I know that and I have decided to help you become a man tonight."

     Jin felt like his heart had just skipped a beat. Jungkook hadn't understood the innuendo and remained immersed in his flood of negative thoughts, refusing to look at both Jin and Lee. But Jin understood.

     "No, I don't want to, please, please..." his voice broke at Lee's evil gaze beneath which his smile stretched. He knew the man had made his decision and it was final.

     "Take off your clothes."

     The phrase petrified him and woke Jungkook who had been trapped in his mind:

    "What did you say?!"

     "Shall I repeat? "

    "No, hyung don't do that!" Jungkook protested, turning to Jin, still frozen next to him.

     Lee took a step towards Jungkook and slapped him hard with the back of his hand and raised his hand to hit him a second time but Jin stepped in, arms outstretched to protect the youngest:

     "I'll do it hyung, don't hit him anymore, p-please."

     "No, you can't-" Jungkook protested.

    "Shut up, JK! I said I was going to do it, so stop talking for me!" 

      The tone was apparently cold as ice and Jin had his back to him, but Jungkook knew that this ice was threatening to melt at any moment with fear and leave him completely helpless in the face of this fear. So, he fell silent, fearing that things would make matters worse for both of them.

      Jin took off his sweater and then his t-shirt and found himself shirtless, shaking more with anxiety and embarrassment than cold. Lee eye him with his bestial gaze and smiled back, obviously enjoying what he was seeing. Since the first day, he had never hidden his will to dominate them by his authority and to do what he wanted with them. He was crossing a new boundary that neither Jin nor Jungkook saw coming. 

     "On the bed," Lee ordered.

     With difficulty, Jin did so and found himself lying down, his body shaking violently as Jungkook watched helplessly, without knowing what to do.

     "And now little Jungkook, get out of here, we have things to do here," the manager told him, "and you'll make sure no one disturbs us. This may be long for his first time," he added, giving Jin an amused look who, his face buried in his palms, seemed to hide the terror he was feeling.

     Jungkook, however, did not move, his feet as if they were welded to the ground. How could he abandon Jin and leave him alone with this monster who wanted to abuse him? Was his reputation as an idol really worth Jin's sacrifice for him? The answer came to him, very clear: no, absolutely not. As he opened his mouth to reply again, Lee smirked cruelly:

     "Get out of here, unless you want to become a man today, too. I can take care of both of you, that's fine."

     "Jungkook, get out!" Jin shouted. 

      He had removed his hands from his face and his shining eyes begged Jungkook to run away.

     Affected by his distress, the Jungkook began to back away slowly, moving away from him without taking his eyes off him. Arrived next to Lee, he noticed the phone still in his hand. He shouldn't come up with the weight in a duel against this colossus but if he suddenly ripped off the phone and destroyed it, would that save them?

    "It wouldn't do any good," Lee told him, as if he had read his mind, "I've sent the documents in my drive before, I'll find them no matter what phone or computer. Still, I'd be really pissed off if you did, and you don't really want to see me pissed off. Now get out there and if you tell anyone what's going on in that room, I'll immediately post them and ruin you both. What happens in this room stays in this room, it will be the secret rule between the three of us."

     Cornered and disgusted by the conspiratorial wink that his manager had just given him as if he had become his partner in crime, Jungkook resigned himself. He gave Jin one last look, the most sorry he was capable, then he left the room with the odious certainty of abandoning Jin to a horrible fate.

    As soon as he closed the door behind him, he heard the familiar sound of a door locking. Jin was now locked up with this boundless beast. 

     Completely alone.
