This is hella long. I did not intend for this chapter to be this long but it's whatever now. I think we are getting close to the end though so... yay?

[Rewrite: I took the emojis out since y'all were having such a fit about it.😂😂Everything else is the same.]

    "What did happen? We need answers now." Mrs. Park was getting frustrated. Jimin had to come up with something quick before they caught on.

Author's POV:

    "That guy that Jihyun saw was my b-boyfriend. He was visiting me because he missed me. I didn't tell you guys before because I didn't want you to find out that Tae and I got a divorce." He explained surprising himself on how quickly he came up with that story.

    "Jimin hyung you're lying. I saw what he was doing to you-" Jihyun tried.

    "What you saw was nothing. I-It was just a little g-game we like to play that's all." Jimin wasn't even convincing himself at this point.

    "Ok then why did you tell me to run away before he'd hurt me, and why did he pull a gun out and threaten to kill me?" Jihyun squinted his eyes in suspicion.

    "A gun!?" Mr. and Mrs. Park asked in unison.

    "Yeah. That's what he hit me with to give me this cut." Jihyun explained getting a bit upset as he felt like he was reliving the moment.

    "It was a joke. Besides he didn't kill you. The gun was a fake. Look I'm tired can you guys please leave me alone?" Jimin asked desperately trying to end the conversation.

    "No not until you-"

    "Jihyun let's just let him be for now. We'll discuss it more in the morning." Mr. Park said as he left Jimin's side to help his wife help Jihyun up from the floor. They all left out of the room giving Jimin his space even though Jihyun protested.

    "Mom, Dad you guys weren't there. I'm telling you that guy-" Jihyun continued as he followed after his parents as the made there way back down stairs.

    "Jihyun calm down. We know he's lying. Jimin is a terrible liar." Mrs. Park said while walking into the kitchen, opening the freezer, and pulling out a pack of frozen peas for Jihyun's gash.

    "Wait what? Then why did we just leave? We need to find out what's going on." He exclaimed as he took the peas and put them on his cheek.

    "Jihyun if you know your brother then you would know that it's hard to get the truth out of him when he's in that state." Mrs. Park explained.

    "Yeah it's just like when those bullies were picking on him back in middle school. He wouldn't tell us anything then as well." Mr. Park chimed in.

    "In fact, I believe this guy you're talk about might have been the one who put him in the hospital. He might be too scared to say anything like he was with those bullies." Mrs. Park replied.

    "I think it actually might go deeper honey. Remember when he told us that he couldn't say anything and we wouldn't be able to help? This guy might be threatening him." Mr. Park frowned not happy with the idea of his theory being true.

    "So what do you guys suggest we do?" Jihyun wondered what his parents were planning.

    "First we cancel our reservation for tonight. We can't leave Jimin alone again. Then we have to take matters into our own hands by calling the police." Mrs. Park stated while looking at her husband for agreement which he quickly gave. Jihyun smiled knowing that it was for the best.

    Jin sat alone in a holding cell as he was slowly growing tired. He had been in this cage for two days and all he wondered about was his son and what he could be doing at the moment. Jungkook said he was safe and oddly even after everything that was happening, he still found himself believing the younger. At least about his son. He knew Jungkook felt a connection with him too and would keep his word about not hurting him if Jin followed through with his plan.

    The thought of the plan lead his thoughts to Jimin and some of the things he said about Jungkook. About him kidnapping and raping him. He was starting to believe that story now that he had seen the other side of Jungkook. It made him feel so guilty for not helping him then. Instead he treated Jimin as if he had lost his mind. He could only hope that he was ok, now that he had finally escaped.

    Thinking about the escape made his thoughts travel to Namjoon who hadn't been back to visit him since the last interrogation two days ago. More particularly to what the detective said during the interrogation. He wanted to help him. 'Why?' Is what Jin wanted to know so badly. He had just met the man and his first impression of him wasn't a good one. He came off as a rude jerk. Jin didn't like him one bit. As if on cue the detective entered clearing his throat in order to gain the others attention.

    "You have a phone call." He said whilst opening the cell.

    "From who?" Jin frowned but the Namjoon didn't answer. Instead he started back up the stairs as Jin just took that as a hint to follow. They ended up back into that same interrogation room he was in two days prior. The only difference was now there was a phone on the table. He looked back at Namjoon who urged him to go on. He cautiously picked up the phone and his ear was filled with a small sweet voice. The voice he longed to hear.

    "Appa?"

Jihyun's POV:

    "Hello officers I'm glad you're here." My mom greeted the two officers as she invited them in. They almost didn't come because they said that they were busy with a missing person case, but gave in when my mother told them it was urgent.

"Now what seems to be the problem? I know over the phone you said there was a break in, but nothing was stolen and no one was hurt."

"Actually my brother Jimin hyung and I got hurt." I butted in. Their faces seemed to change when I mentioned Jimin hyung.

"Jimin? Kim Jimin?" One of them asked.

"Uh yeah." The officers quickly stood up. One officer went outside to make a phone call while the other asked us to bring him to Jimin hyung.

"What's going on?" I questioned.

"Kim Jimin is the one we've been looking for. We need to speak with him now."

"What why?" Mrs. Park look stunned.

"It's too much to explain right now. Just go get him please."

"Ok." I rushed up stairs with uncertainty and knocked on Hyung's door with the officer right behind me. "Hyung?"

"Go away! I don't want to talk!" Jimin shouted.

"Jimin it's the police! Open up!" The officer behind retorted. Soon we heard a bit of shuffling and then the door was opened. It looked like Jimin hyung had just finished taking a shower. He looked at me and the at the officer. Panic very evident on his face along with dark puffy circles from tiredness and crying.

"I-Is ever thing alright? Jihyun what is he doing here?" He shot me a glare.

"I'm sorry Hyung, but we called them. We had to. We are so worried about you." I tried to reason but he only got angrier.

"Damn it Jih! You should be worried about yourself!"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"I mean if he finds this out then.. then-" Hyung started to get choked up as he nervously ran his fingers through his hair while pacing.

"Then what? Who is he Jimin hyung? The guy from earlier? What does he want? Did he threaten you?!" I asked all at once. I could feel my blood starting to boil, but Hyung didn't answer. He only sat back down on his bed and covered his face with his hands. The officer the brushed past me and kneeled down in front of my brother.

"Hey listen to me. This is what is best. Your parents did the right thing. Now tell me what happened. I promise I'm here to help. I'm not like the other cops you talked to before ok. I'm on detective Namjoon's team. Remember him?" Hyung's head popped up at the mention of that Namjoon guy. It made me wonder how he knew him. And what did this guy mean about the cops before. How long has this been going on?

"Detective Namjoon? Is he on his way?" Hyung looked on the verge of tears which only frustrated me more. What's going on? What has he been keeping from us?

"Yes my partner downstairs just called him. He should be here shortly."

"I don't want to talk to anyone but him please." He's going to tell someone random cop everything before he tells me?! I'm his brother! Why won't he open up to me? We tell each other everything.

"That's fine I'll let him know." I couldn't help but feel hurt by this. I just want him to talk to me like he used to. After a while more cops came and searched our house I guess for anything that guy might have left. Hyung was now separated from me and our parents talking to that detective. He looked so happy to see him. A part of me was relieved that he was relieved, but the other part of me just wanted answers so that I can help.

I was in the position to help earlier but I was so shocked and scared that I failed to protect him. In result that guy is still on the loose and all of these cops are here blocking in our driveway. If only I could have just killed that guy when I had the chance. I know the only thing Jimin hyung told us about him was that he was his boyfriend, but what kind of boyfriend rapes you. That's not right.

Later a couple of cops pulled me aside for my version of what happened. I told them everything I knew which wasn't much, but they seemed to have valued the information greatly. I even heard one of them saying that they finally had a solid case. In the mist of all of the chaos I felt my phone vibrate. I checked it thinking it would be one of my friends messaging me about the cops. Our town was small and our neighbors were nosey, so word gets around fast.

As looked at the message I noticed that the ID was unknown which was weird. I opened the message and was stunned.

Unknown:
Hello Jihyun. My name Jungkook. We met earlier today. I'm your brother's lover.

I stared at my screen to see if what I'm reading is correct.

Me:
What the fuck? How did you find my number?

Unknown:
That doesn't matter right now. What matters now is this question. How much do you love your brother?

What is he even messaging me for? He's got big nerve even trying to communicate with me after what he did today.

Me:
What does that have to do with anything? And why the fuck are you messaging me?

Unknown :
Just answer the fucking question!

Spas much. Is he crazy or what?

Me:
A lot. Now what do you want?

Unknown:
I love your brother too. He's my everything. I'll do anything to have him by my side. I'd even kill for him.

This sick bastard. What's the fucking point of all of this.

Me:
I said what the fuck do you want!

Unknown:
Well the truth is that I just want him to be happy with me, and I think I found something or someone who could help me with that.

Me:
Why should I care about your plans that won't work btw.

Unknown:
It most definitely will work and you should care because it involves you. I know that you mom and dad called the cops on me. I know that they are at your house right now as we speak.

How the fuck did he- oh it must be on the local news or something. Not much goes on here.

Me:
Ok and?

Unknown:
That means your parents are standing in between me and what I want. You did the same earlier, but I was feeling generous and spared you. I'm not feeling that now. In fact I'm mad, and I'm not as nice when I'm mad.

He's mad? I'm mad. Mad at the fact that I didn't kill him when I had the chance. And what does he mean 'He's not nice when he's mad'? When was this bitch ever nice?

Me:
Are you threatening me?

Unknown:
No no you're missing the point. I'm inviting you. I want you to stay with your brother and I and be apart of our family.

Ok I'm convinced now. He's definitely crazy if he thinks I'll ever stay with him or even let Jimin hyung stay with him.

Me:
And what if I say no?

Unknown:
Then you'll be in the way of what I want, and I can guarantee you don't want that. Come on Jihyun. Think about it. If you do it you'll get to see Jimin hyung everyday. We can build so many memories together. We could have so much fun.

Fun? He thinks by abandoning our family and our lives to live with his psychotic self is fun?

Me:
I already see him. We already have memories together with our parents in OUR family. We don't need you nor do we want you so just leave us alone!

Unknown:
What a shame? I really didn't want to have to kill your parents but since they are currently your only source of income, after you lost your job, I need to get rid of them. Then when you're out on the street, maybe you'll see the light and find it a better choice to come live with me and your brother.

This crazy bitch. How does he know about my job, and he thinks killing my parents would make me want to stay with him? That would only make my urge to kill him stronger.

Me:
If you lay a hand on my parents or my brother I swear I'll kill you.

Unknown:
You're so feisty like you're brother. I'm going to have fun breaking you. Don't worry though. I won't break you like I broke your brother because that'd be incest. I'm thinking of a special way just for you. It's making me excited. I've always wanted a brother, and I'm sure Jimin hyung would be much happier if you were to stay with us too. Now whether you come willingly or by force is your choice. I want both you and Jimin now, and that's what I'm going to have.

I can see now why Jimin hyung is scared of this guy, but I'm not. In fact I'm going to play his little sick game. Then he'll soon find out that I'm not my brother. I'll kill him as soon as I get the chance with no hesitation this time or either I'll die trying.

Me:
If I come willingly will you spare my parents lives?

Unknown:
Oh now you want to cooperate? What happened to the tough guy who wanted to kill me? I'm not sure if I want to spare them after that fail attempt of a threat.

Me:
I'm sorry ok. I'll go to you. Just don't hurt them.

Unknown:
I'm so happy. You made the right choice. Come now to this address. [24 Serine Street]
And remember to come alone. Oh and don't tell anyone about our little conversation. Just know that I'm always watching and I can kill them in the blink of an eye before anyone can see it coming.

I'm doing the right thing. I know it. Jimin hyung will thank me later. I'm going to make this crazy bastard leaves my family alone for good. I sure he's just all talk right? There's no need to worry, but first I need a plan.

Poor Jihyun doesn't know what he's getting himself into. Also just to be clear, Jungkook wants a brother not another lover. He only 'loves' Jimin. I hope this chapter is ok because for some reason I think it's not but I don't know what I would change about it. 🤷‍♀️
