Adulthood is a bitch. I caution everyone before encountering it. 😐

"Have fun with my dad hyung. I hope he gives you everything you deserve."

Author's POV :

    Jin panicked when he saw that he was back yet again at this awful place. Then his mind shot back to his son. He could only pray that Yungjin wasn't hurt by the man since he originally wanted to kill him . The car pulled up into the driveway stopping at the front door. Standing there at the door was the man he did not want to see patiently waiting to greet him.

All of the men in black got out of the car and motioned Jin to do the same, but he didn't move. He couldn't. His mind was in a state of shock and panic. He never thought  he'd be back here again, but here he was.

"Ehmm!" The man that original sat to the right of him cleared his throat signaling Jin of his bosses impatience. Jin took the hint and got out of the car. The guards surrounded him making sure not to leave any gap that he could possibly escape from. He only had one path. At the end of the path was the person he feared most. With that in mind, his steps were hesitant.

    Eventually, he stood face to face with the man. He looked into his eyes and instantly thought again about Yungjin, who shared that same feature with the latter. Sudden courage arose when he blurted out-

    "Where's my son? Where's Yungjin?"

    "He's up stairs in my home theatre watching a movie. Don't worry about him. Right now, the one you should worry about the most is yourself." Jin gulped.

    Jimin and Yoongi were in the living room watching the news. The police set out an alert for people to be on the look out for Jin. They were calling  him a fugitive. Jimin was currently hating himself at the moment. He couldn't help but think that this was his fault. Yoongi notice his shift in mood and slowly caught on.

"Is that the man that helped Jungkook trap you?"

"Y-yes, but he didn't know what he was doing. It was just a misunderstanding for him. He did nothing wrong. When Jungkook was abusing me, he was helping me. He shouldn't be treated this way because of Jungkook. That bastard is the real criminal." Jimin spoke with anger.

"Well maybe you are right, but you also need to consider the fact that he was associated with Jungkook, the biggest pathological liar on the planet. How do you know he wasn't lying too?" Yoongi skeptically raised his brow.

"I just know ok. He's not like Jungkook. I just hope he's ok." Jimin sighed. A few minutes later his parents came down the stairs and turned of the tv.

"Jimin we need to talk. You have to tell us what's going on. Why did you lie earlier about the man in the room and how did you know that detective?" His father spoke in a demanding tone.

"Yoongi can you give us a minute please." Jimin turned to him with pleading eyes.

"I'll just go sit on the porch." Once he was gone, Jimin continued.

"Look, I want to tell you believe me I do, but there's just so much that you wouldn't understand." He tried to explain but his parents shook their heads. They were fed up with the secrets and lies.

"Oh don't give us that bull shit again. Jimin, you are our son, and we deserve to know what's going on with you. The bits and pieces of information that we've gotten so far have been from other people and we don't like what we've been hearing. Now we are asking you to let us know the truth so that we may help you." His father tried to reason.

"You can't help me ok! You can't know or else-" Jimin caught himself before he ruined everything.

"Or else what?" His father urged on. Jimin held his head down not saying anything.

"Is that man threatening you? Are you afraid he's going hurt you? Honey he can't get to you anymore. We promise. We won't let him hurt you." His mother reassured him.

"It's not me he's going to hurt. I-it's you. He threatened to hurt you and Jihyun if I said anything. He-" Jimin broke down in tears, and his mother rushed to his side and hugged him tightly.

"Oh baby he won't hurt us. It's ok he-"

"No. No it's not ok because Jihyun is out there right now and I don't know where he is."

"He's fine. He's at a friends house. He just said he needed some time to himself. He'll be back in no time." His said trying to ease his mind.

"You have no idea what this man is capable of. Jihyun was acting strange before he left. I think he got to him."

"Who's he?" His mother asked again.

"I've already said too much."

"Son, if this man would have gotten to him he surely would have told us." His father said with surely.

"Not if he threatened him the way he threatened me."

"It'll be ok Jimin. Jihyun will come home, and who ever this man is, he's going to pay for whatever he did to you." Jimin just nodded and  snuggled back into his mother's arms. Just then her phone buzzed. It was from Jihyun. "See baby. We told you he was alright." She showed Jimin the phone. "He says he's spending the night with his friend."

    Jimin felt a wash felt a wash of relief after hearing from his brother but still he couldn't help but feel that something was just slightly off. He convinced himself that he was just being paranoid. It was killing him inside to have to be a sitting duck when his psycho student, his brother, and Jin were all roaming around out there at the same time. He didn't know Jin much, but he sought comfort in him when times where rough. He could only hope that he was ok.

    As it began to get late Mr. and Mrs. Park invited Yoongi to sleep in their guest room in which he happily obliged after missing his daily afternoon nap. He was exhausted from running around with Namjoon all day. After that they retreated to their own bed for a good nights sleep and pretty soon all were sleeping soundly. All except Jimin who hasn't been able to sleep in a while. He also was terrified of his own room now after having Jungkook take him in there as well.

    He was sitting on the couch watching the ten o'clock news. Jin's photo was still plastered all over it. They hadn't found him yet, but there were more details about his disappearance including the fact that their was no sign of a break out. Also the cop on guard hadn't come into work either. His cell door was opened wide and the cameras that showed the back of the station had magically went out at the time of his disappearance.

    Jimin was sure that Jungkook definitely had something to do with it now. "Why?" was the main question he couldn't figure out. Why would Jungkook take Jin out of prison if he was only using him and wasn't he using him to take the fall for a crime he committed? All of the physical proof lead to Jin and none to Jungkook. Why would Jungkook ruin that? Unless.. unless there is more to his plan.

    All the worry and stress was getting to him. It was so bad that he started losing weight, losing his hair, and losing his sanity but he was so tired of crying about it. He was just angry now. He brought a pillow up to his face and screamed into it. He knew that Jungkook would stop at nothing to capture him. He knew that the younger would hurt or kill anyone who got in his way and Jimin didn't know if he could handle another dead body on his conscience.

    Hobi's death still so fresh and it was constantly haunted him. The next one could be any one of his friends and family. Here one second and then gone the next. All of their lives were in the hands of an obsessed teen and there was nothing he could do about it.

    "Unless I give myself over to him willingly. Then my friends and family would be safe. I wouldn't have to worry anymore." Jimin didn't realize he was speaking out loud until he heard a subtle "No" coming from behind him.

    "No Mr. Kim. You can't give that crazy bastard exactly what he wants. Not after everything he's done." Yoongi looked at him in disbelief. He couldn't understand why the older was even considering this.

    "Yoongi you don't understand. He could kill you, my brother, my parents-" Yoongi quickly sat by his side putting his hand on his shoulders to make sure the teacher was looking at him.

    "I don't care if he kills me, and I'm pretty sure your whole family would agree with me when I say that we'd all die before we ever let him get to you."

   "But that's just it. I don't want anybody else to die. Hobi's dead because of me, Taehyung almost died as well, and now Jin's a fugitive. No one else should get hurt because of me."

    "The most painful hurt of them all would be seeing him get what he wants. That would mean all of these innocent people got hurt for nothing. Mr. Jung died for nothing. I mean they risked their lives for you, and now you just want to throw in the towel?" Yoongi frowned. It  pissed him off even more due to the fact that Jimin wasn't even responding anymore. "Fine. Do whatever ever the fuck you want. I hope that you and that asshole live happily ever after." He spat with a hatred laced tone as he stormed back up to the guest room.

    Jimin thought he might cry but no tears came. He didn't feel a lump in his throat. As a matter of fact he didn't feel anything. He was completely numb.

——

    Jihyun woke up feeling dizzy. His head hurt like a bitch. His eyes fluttered open although he couldn't tell due to the darkness of the room he was in. He tried moving but soon realized that he was tied down to a chair.

    "Hello! Is anyone there?! Hey! Let me go!" There was no response to his cries. Soon flashes of the scene before wrecked his mind jogging his memory. "Shit. Why am I so fucking stupid? Now he's probably waiting to kill me-"

The door shot open. Two buff men in black walked in followed by Jungkook. Each stood on either side of Jihyun while Jungkook stood in front of him.

"I see your finally up. Did you have a good nap?"

"Don't. Don't patronize me." Jihyun said clearly annoyed. "So are you gonna kill me or what?"

"Oh Jihyun, haven't you been listening at all?" Jungkook giggled as if he were explaining something to a five year old. "You're not here for me to kill you. You're bait. You always have been. It's kinda funny when you think about it. You came here to keep me away from Jimin, but now you're gonna lure him directly to me." Jungkook laughed at the irony.

"What makes you think that I'll do that?" Jihyun frowned.

    "Well, after knocking you out I started to wonder how someone like you got your hands on a gun without a license. So I decided to trace the serial number. Turns out you got it from a local shop not to far from your house. I also found out that the shop owner is out of town but he left his son in charge. His son Mark, am I right?" Jihyun turned pale.

    "Hey l-leave him out of this. He's completely innocent." Jihyun hated to admit it but he was scared. He didn't want Mark to get hurt because of him.

    "Innocent? No one is ever completely innocent. He's your friend right? And he gave you that gun to kill me? That means he was in on the plotting of my murder. Well, I consider that getting in my way, and I'm pretty sure I made it clear to you what happens when people get in my way." Jungkook nostrils were flared and his tongue was poking his cheek as his fiery eyes stared Jihyun down. He looked very intimidating in this moment. Polar opposite of what he was just a second ago.

    "No! He didn't do anything! He didn't know what it was for! Leave him alone! Kill me instead."Jihyun shouted on the brink of tears.

    "So much passion for someone whose just a friend. Are you sure that's all he is?" Jungkook smirked knowing he had gotten to the boy.

    "Just leave him out of this. This is between you and me."

    "I'm just not so convinced that it is. You see you're my baby's baby brother. I can't kill you even if you did try to kill me just now, but I am still pretty pissed about it. Someone's gotta pay for what just happened."

    "No- look- I'll- I'll do whatever you want just please. Please leave him alone." He didn't want to do this, but he also didn't want the boy that he possibly loved to die. He figures that even if he got Jimin here they could fight Jungkook together or figure something out. That way no one would get hurt.

    "Ding ding ding! Those were the magic words. It's about time we have some fun now."
