"Wear your pant, Kim Hyunjin" he muttered, and Hyunjin bit his tongue, hard.

The metallic taste of blood filled his tongue, and he almost fell to his knees as Jungkook took Jimin out of the room.

Hyunjin began fighting the tears trying to betray his eyes but failed woefully because the tears fell.

He quickly wiped them, throwing on his underwear and shorts.

He hurriedly forced his arms into his singlet and didn't even wear the top before rushing out of the room.

He caught up with Jungkook who's just passing by the main studio, and every single person in the studio is on their feet with bulging eyes as if they're witnessing a freak show.

Seokjin's eyes were literally on the floor.

* Didn't he hold him at the music studio too?

* Seriously!

* And now he's in his arms? Are they dating?

* Jeon Jungkook? Da....ting? How does that sound?

* So what the fuck is going on!

Hyunjin was fuming, unable to move from his spot anymore, but Wooyoung took few steps to them when he noticed the blood on Jimin's forehead.

"Are you ok? What happened?"

"He'll be fine" Jungkook replied for Jimin, taking him out of the studio completely.

Wooyoung rushed after him nevertheless, and immediately Jungkook placed him in the car, he peeked in through the window.

"I'll give you a call ok? And make sure you get it treated" he said.

"Sure, thanks Wooyoung" Jimin smiled, and Jungkook drove the car out of the studio park.

"Where are we going?" Jimin asked.

"Where else would we go to get rid of the blood on you?" He replied curtly, and he enabled auto-drive.

He opened the second drawer, and he got a roll of tissue which he started wiping Jimin bloody face with.

"Ah..hh!" Jimin winced, folding his palms tightly as his eyes went shut.

"Don't close your eyes" he told him.

Jimin slowly opened his eyes. "Why?" He muttered.

"Just don't" he replied, and then he returned to cleaning the wound.

"Did you wound yourself to prove a point?" He said, and Jimin eyes widened a bit.

"No, but...

"Lying to me is useless. I'm genius enough to catch up" he interrupted, and Jimin bit his lip.

"Fine... I did, but how did you know?"

"You were wounded, and he was naked. Hyunjin probably told you I'd choose sex over my own life, and you wanted to prove him wrong" he replied.

"Was he really wrong?" Jimin asked, but no reply came from him.

"Would you chose me over sex again? What does it mean? That I'm not stupid anymore?" Jimin whispered, and when their eyes met afterwards, he saw a slight dip on his right brow before he looked away.

"Would you chose me over sex again?" Jimin asked for the third time.

"If you give me a reason to" Jungkook replied, and Jimin blinked, secretly pinching himself as the car pulled up at the hospital.

Jungkook took him in and got him a nurse.

While he was getting treated, Jungkook excused himself and met some doctors at the mental health section.

He was allowed entry into a particular ward, and immediately he entered, sourness dominated his features.

Jessi is laying in bed, her monitor beeping softly, and the blood bag she's receiving is almost in half.

She hurt herself again.

She had rolled down a staircase, and her body has twisted fresh wounds from the fall. Even her face is a home of uncovered flesh, she looks pathetic.

When she's wounded like this is the only time she recognizes anybody, but she just needs two days to heal, and then she'd go back to being mad again.

Her eyes opened slowly as Jungkook took the fifth step to her bed, and immediately she saw him, her breathings climbed high.

"J....jun... Jungkook" she stuttered, her body shaking as she struggled to balance after saying the full name.

Jungkook took the sixth step which brought him to her bedside, and he bent to her level on the bed, resting his palms on the sheets before holding eyes with her, spitting venom into her soul.

"Jun.. Jungkook...

"Imagine how beautiful it'd be if I rip your tongue out of your mouth right now" he cut her off harshly, lowering his lips to her ear before whispering...

"Or how enthralling it'd feel to shred your bones and pull you out of your skin then burn your flesh in fire"

Jessi's vitals started rising. She began gasping for breaths, and her monitor began beeping faster than usual.

"Won't it be cute if I break you into pieces and dispose you into the ocean, piece by piece?" Jungkook whispered again, and she grabbed his shirt tight, slipping deeper into misery as tears came out of her eyes corners.

Unknown to Jungkook, Jimin is by the door, watching with wide, terrified eyes.

He finished his head treatment some minutes ago, and he had traced him here.

He covered his mouth with his palm so he won't scream as he watched Jungkook's display on the woman.

Their resemblance is uncanny. He has her dreamy eyes and pointed nose, so it's pretty obvious she's his mother.

"Get well soon, Jessi, and I'll have fun killing you" he whispered in her ear again, and blood gushed out of her mouth as she continued struggling to breath.

Jungkook plucked her hand from his shirt harshly, and several doctors rushed in.

He left the ward without waiting to know if she'd be fine.

She'd be fine anyways. It's not his first time of torturing her with words.

He met Jimin waiting in front of the ward, and before Jimin could talk, he took his hand and pulled him out of the hospital.

He willingly followed without trying to break free, but the strange thing is that Jungkook body is shaking.

Jimin could feel it through his hand, but he couldn't figure out if it's because of rage or fear.

Jungkook never fears, so he'd just go with the first one.

They got back in the car, and Jungkook still didn't let go of his hand.

He's still shaking, and it even got worse.

Jimin removed his hand from his own, then he held his hand instead, and Jungkook looked at him.

"Are you ok?" He asked in a whisper.

Jungkook immediately removed his hand. "I'm fine" he muttered.

"But your mum, did you...

"Don't ask questions, Jimin" he cut him off icily, and Jimin reclined as he drove out of the hospital.

Till they arrived at the estate, Jungkook didn't say a word, and when they arrived, he got down from the car but Jungkook didn't.

He drove out again, and Jimin stood dumbfounded.

He should be used to this by now.

He's Jeon Jungkook, of course after every sweet side of him, there's a bitter side.

It's so easy for him to switch moods, and it's driving him crazy already.

"You're back, baby!" Jennie came out of the annex, and her eyes widened when she saw his plastered head.

"What happened to you again! How come you're always getting wounded these days I told you to always be careful! Is it Hyunjin again?" She held his face.

"Nope. It was me this time, I did it to prove a point though, and I won" Jimin smiled.

"Are you for real? Jimin" Jennie sighed.

"I'm fine, yunno I heal fast" Jimin smiled, and she sighed again.

"You won't be the end of me"

"What's for lunch? I want popcorn and milk" Jimin chuckled, hugging her by the side as they went in together.

"I'll make some for you" Jennie replied, stroking his hair till they entered the annex.

*

LORD KIM'S EMPIRE*

The rest of the guys were already waiting in front of the iron gate when Jungkook appeared.

They drove into the gate together, and their steps aligned as they walked into the property.

This time, they met Lord Kim at the balcony, talking to the three new members of the gang who passed the hunting test last night.

Immediately the guys arrived, he sent the new members away, and they all settled in front of him.

"How's the guy?" He asked pointedly.

"Six feet below the ocean, I threw him in after bulleting him in three places. He wasn't a spy, just a little rat who deserved to die" Jungkook replied, and Kim grinned, resting back on his seat.

"When are y'all going back to school?"

"We still have a month and two weeks left" Rosé replied.

"Why do you ask, boss?" Hoseok asked.

"I'll be shipping in my biggest load, and this time it's coming through the Italian seaway. I trust there'll be a problem, and I need captain to take care of it" Kim replied with raised brows.

"I'll fly to Italy when the time comes...you don't have to lift a finger" Jungkook replied, and Kim chuckled.

"I trust you, always"

"Dad!" Yongbok came in that moment, and his eyes widened when he saw Jungkook with the others.

He comported himself quickly though, and immediately Jungkook left with the guys, he took their place.

"Dad, what was Jungkook doing here?" He asked quickly.

"He's been working for me since last year" he replied freely.

"C'mon dad he has been in school since last year" he replied.

Kim kept quiet, and Yongbok gasped.

"You mean he was working for you from school? He's part of the gang?"

"He's the gang leader" he replied.

"Then it should be easy to manipulate him! Dad... Hyunjin wants this guy so badly and would do anything to have him but he's always dirtying him! He disgraced him again today!" He said a little loud, and Kim stood.

He started going in, and his guards followed him.

"Dad! Dad!!" Yongbok ran after him.

*

"I think we've gone past the stage of lying about anything right now, Jungkook. You lied about killing the guy, I could just feel it in your voice earlier" Namjoon said when the guys arrived back at the gate.

"I was just about to say that...What's going on captain?" Rosé faced him too.

"Did you keep him to break his heart so you could win your 97th trophy with him?" Hoseok talked.

"You know what it means if boss finds out. You shouldn't be the one doing this" Rosé said.

Jungkook pretended not to her them, he tried entering the car, but Namjoon held him back.

"Captain...

"Stop it, y'all. I'm not in the mood" he frowned.

"Wait ... Did you meet Jessi today?" Rosé asked suspiciously.

Jungkook got in the car anyways, and they exchanged glances.

*

JEON ESTATE*

Wooyoung flipped his hair as he came out of his car in front of the gate, and he immediately fished out his phone.

He expected Jimin's call throughout, but he didn't get a ring. He got worried and decided to come.

He dialled Jimin's line, and a smile appeared on his lips immediately he picked.

"Hey Min...I'm at the gate, are you...

Jimin hung up before he could finish, and he rumpled his face, trying the line again.

He didn't pick at the second ring, but at the third ring, Jimin rushed out of the estate.

"Hey" Wooyoung smiled brightly.

"You can drive in. Madam said I'm free to take my visitors in now" Jimin replied, and they got back in the car together.

Wooyoung drove into the estate, and when they came down at the garage, Wooyoung started checking out his plastered head.

"Does it hurt a lot?" He asked.

"No. Jungkook took me to the hospital and it got treated. I also took pain relievers so it's fine"

"What really happened in the washroom? Did Hyunjin do it?" Wooyoung asked.

"No. It was actually an accident. I fell and...

Two cars drove in that moment, and the guys came out of it.

Rosé and Jungkook in a car, Namjoon and Hoseok in the second.

"Fuck! Look who we have here! He's pretty! Aren't you Wooyoung? A member of the band" Namjoon said immediately.

"Sure" Wooyoung smiled cheerfully, his eyes darting to Hoseok for a second.

Hoseok went in, so he brought his attention back to Namjoon.

"Don't tell me you love Hoseok at first sight" Namjoon shadowed his eyes.

"No way..." Wooyoung quickly replied, and Namjoon chuckled.

"What happened to your head Minnie? Why are you hurt again?" Rosé gasped.

"It was an accident at the studio, no one hurt me this time trust me" Jimin smiled.

"Gosh, you're so fragile, you require a lot of care" Rosé pouted, and Jimin smiled, then he looked over at Jungkook who's leaning on the car hood, smoking vape.

He looks better than when they left the hospital, and when their eyes met, he winked, making Jimin smirk, then Jimin smiled, glad that Jungkook's back on track.

Jungkook got his phone and began typing...a minute later, Jimin got a text...

Jungkook: Wanna smoke?

Jimin hissed before typing back.

Jimin: You have nothing more to offer than smoke, right? Douche.

Jungkook: Says who? Have you seen my dick?

Jimin gasped after reading that, unable to close his mouth.

Jimin: Why? Is it the size of a pen?

Jungkook: You'll take back your words when i fuck your cunt with it, sweetheart.

Jimin: What makes you think I'd allow you?

Jungkook: What makes you think you wouldn't?

Jimin scoffed after reading that, the he looked up to find his eyes on himself.

He gave him the middle finger, and Jungkook smiled meaningfully, rubbing his lips as he entered the mansion.

"Wooyoung is my second friend from now on" Rosé's voice made him turn, and Jimin was surprised to see them snapping selfies together already.

They must have bonded when he was busy texting Jungkook.

"Already?" He smiled.

"Yeah he's cool" Rosé replied.

"Seokjin is cool too" Jimin said.

"Duhh, i just feel something is off about that guy" Rosé replied.

"Chips! Anyone?" Yoongi arrived with a bowl of it, and Namjoon rushed out of the mansion to snatch it.

"Joon that's for me!" Rosé ran after him, back into the mansion with Yoongi.

Wooyoung followed them inside, and Jimin quickly dialled Seokjin's line.

It rang three times, but he didn't pick.

*

HYUNJIN'S PLACE*

Hyunjin has a stick of cigarette between his plump lips as he sat on the biggest couch, legs crossed with an ashtray in front of him.

Seokjin is with him, sitting on the couch opposite him.

"Isn't it bad for a singer to smoke too much? You're on the fifth stick" Seokjin said.

"Mind your own business, fool" Hyunjin replied, and Seokjin sighed.

Yongbok rushed in almost immediately.

"Hyung! I swear Jungkook works for dad! He's the gang leader!" He announced.

"What!" Hyunjin spranged up.

"I'm darn serious! I saw him clearly at the empire!" Yongbok replied.

"Why am I just finding out?" Hyunjin smirked.

"Aren't you Taehyung's boyfriend? Kim Taehyung?" Seokjin suddenly said, and Yongbok faced him.

"Yes?"

"There's something you should know about him, and Jimin" Seokjin replied, and Yongbok frowned.

*

6PM, JEON ESTATE ~SECOND MANSION*

Hoseok, Rosé, Wooyoung and Hyunjin are in the game room, playing table tennis loudly when Namjoon came in with Yongbok to join them.

Wooyoung would have left, but thanks to Rosé who kept holding him back with sweet words. She's damn good at persuasion.

Wooyoung and Hoseok are the ones playing right now.

Rosé is cheering, but Namjoon and Yongbok joined her immediately they came in.

Jungkook is sitting at a corner, shirtless as he texted Jimin, giving the phone all his attention.

He sent three texts already, but Jimin hasn't replied any, though he's reading them.

1st one: What're you don't RN?

2nd: Are you in the kitchen?

3rd: Is this another game? I hate being ignored, madly.

Jimin read that and didn't reply too, and he smirked, folding his palm on the phone.

"Jimin looked good earlier. I think he has a date" Namjoon suddenly said, and Jungkook looked up.

"A date?"

"Yeah. Saw him leaving the estate, and he even covered his wound with bangs, and he wore makeup too" Namjoon explained, and Jungkook's eyes darkened.

"Oh...that. He told me he's going out with Taehyung tonight." Rosé said.

"Taehyung? Same fucking Taehyung we all know?" Jungkook spranged up.

"Calm down mate, I don't think he's still sick. He has been friends with Jimin even before we returned from school, so..." Namjoon said.

"You think people like him can heal? They wait for the right time to strike!" Jungkook spat.

"But it's been a while since it happened though, and he looks ok now...I don't get why you're so worked up" Hoseok said.

"Because I know what I'm talking about!  Taehyung is a motherfucker and he knows what he's doing!" Jungkook replied and left the room.

"Is Jimin in danger? What's happening?" Wooyoung asked in concern.

"What sickness is Taehyung battling with?" Yoongi asked, and Namjoon whispered it in his ear.

His eyes widened. "What!"

*

GROOVY CEMETERY*

Jimin hasn't attended anything like this before, so when Taehyung brought him, he was scared at first.

Who the hell parties in a cemetery?

He just had to do it because it's been weeks since Taehyung's been asking him to go out with him, and he has been turning him down because of his boyfriend.

He decided to come with him tonight and make it the first and last time.

Surprisingly, it's more fun than he expected.

The smell of smokes filled the atmosphere... several people smoking pot and cigars, and the cemetery got more crowded by the minutes.

He's sitting on a stone with Taehyung beside him, and while he's holding a bottle of kirin, he's holding a bottle of virgin mojito since he doesn't do alcohol.

"Why did you chose this place though?" Jimin faced him, drinking from his bottle.

"The air, the atmosphere, the chills...I just like it better. We do cemetery parties almost every night in school" he replied, and Jimin nodded.

"In school? I wonder what school is like?"

"You can still go to school, Minnie" he replied, and Jimin felt his eyes dwindling as he drank from the bottle again.

Wasn't it supposed to be non-alcoholic? Why is he feeling tipsy???

"I mean... why are you not in good terms with Jungkook?" Jimin sniffled drunkenly, feeling his eyes turning.

"Why wouldn't I? He's in a secret society" he replied hatefully, watching Jimin every move.

"I know he is..." He shrugged.

"You know?" He said shockingly, and Jimin suddenly took off his jacket.

His bottle fell from him in the process.

"I'm...I'm suddenly feeling hot" he said, his cheeks and ears deeply red.

"There's a tent at the back, you can rest there" he replied as he stood, helping Jimin up too.

"Tent?...why don't we go... home" he muttered, smiling drunkenly.

"The tent, Minnie..." He insisted, and he was about to carry him in his arms when he received a kick on his head from behind.

He staggered forward, landing on the ground, then a livid Jimin came to view, breathing harshly and angrily.

"Jung...kook" Jimin narrowed his eyes, but Jungkook didn't spare hin a glance before lounging at Taehyung again.

Another kick on Taehyung's face made his face shove into the sandy soil, and he cried out.

"Darnnn!!! Urghh!!!!"

"Go look for another prey, motherfucker! He's not yours!" Jungkook spat, pulling him up then punching his face.

Taehyung's jaw almost broke as he flew to the nearest grave, landing hard on the concrete.

The crowd has gathered around right now, and the music stopped already... everyone faced the show.

"Jungkook!!!" Jimin shouted, the alcohol clearing off his face as fast as possible.

Jungkook didn't hear anything because he went for Taehyung on the grave again and elbowed him on the chest.

Taehyung flew back to the ground, blood covering his face and mouth.

"Jungkook!!!" Jimin screamed again as he pulled Taehyung up, ready to punch his stomach.

"Stop!!" Jimin screamed, and Jungkook reluctantly let go of him.

Taehyung fell on the ground, and Jungkook turned back, but immediately he did, Jimin's palm met with his face.

The slap was thunderous, and everyone gasped as the sound travelled across the place, but it wasn't all...

Jimin slapped him on the second cheek almost immediately, harder than the first.

Louder gasps escaped people's mouths, and some covered their mouths with their palms.

Taehyung smiled secretly on the ground where he's lying.

Jungkook's cheeks became so red, but he doesn't look shocked nor surprised. He looks like a tempted devil, ready to rage.

His eyes were spitting fire and brimstones.

"He's a fucking...

"I don't wanna hear it, Jungkook... leave us alone!!" Jimin shouted at his face, and Jungkook shoulders stiffened as he took a step closer to him.

Jimin stood his ground, and Jungkook smirked devilishly.

"If I come close to you, talk to you, or come for you ever again, then I'm not Jeon Jungkook. You can go die for all I care" he muttered, and Jimin gulped.

Jungkook walked angrily out of the place, and the party scattered.
