Two weeks passed since the revelation of the third Park brother. Life had gone about as it should since then. Jihyun went back to his side pretending as though he had not a brother on the opposing team and Jimin went about doing his own thing. The young man took his punishment well as unexpected by everyone who watched him. Every morning Jimin rose at an early hour to prepare for his long shifts at the cannibal restaurant and when he was done there he went to deliver the raw meals for cannibals. He attempted to appear normal for as long as he could out in public. Jimin smiled at friends, but in his distracted lone moments with the vision of his phone his mind scurried to dark places. Although he seemed normal outside, he was disintegrating on the inside. The mind of the young man had become a trap he only succeeded in escaping with work. About two weeks after the whole revelation did Jimin loosen the act that all was well for it wasn't. Life had become only about escaping nightmarish thoughts, working for cannibals, and fighting with his partner.

"Park Jimin!"

The scream came from Yoongi who had stationed himself in the kitchen only a minute after arriving from his own job which was conventionally right beneath his home. He rushed into the bedroom where a tired Jimin was falling into deep slumber. Without hesitation, Yoongi took hold of his partner's thin arm to shake him harshly. The young man awoke with less of a reaction than expected. He turned his tired eyes to look at who called for him desperately.

"Seriously!? Again!?"

"What?"

Yoongi exhaled with pure frustration. He took hold of Jimin's arm to jerk him to his feet. The younger did not bother to protest nor did he struggle in the movement. He followed to where he was propped down on a chair and set food in front of him.

"Eat."

"I don't want to."

"Eat."

Jimin looked to the delicious meal he'd usually be dying to devour and felt nothing. He was too tired to feel the hunger in his stomach despite having not eaten since the early morning. Without fail like how things had been between the two recently, an argument arose. Yoongi was angry for once again he came home late to find that dinner had been left untouched. He was raging that Jimin would not bother to even step foot in the kitchen for something to feed his thin body which had become even more so in the past week. Jimin, on the other hand wasn't so much angry yet  was slowly becoming so as irritation rose in him.

"Stop telling me what to do!" He screamed out at last to match Yoongi's tone and volume. "You may older than me but that doesn't mean you're some sort of parent to be bossing me around! If I wanted that then I'd go home and...Never mind! Just leave me alone!"

"You seriously believe I do this because I crave some sort of authority?" Yoongi scoffed with disbelieve. "Have you seen yourself lately? Jimin your being swallowed up in your own shirt! That should only be happening if it's mine! You're acting ridiculous, just sit and eat for god's sake."

"Jimin, just eat! We're sick of hearing you both!"

At the yell coming from below both males averted their attention to the open window in the living room.

"Dammit Yoongi if you can't feed him I'll come up there and do it myself!" Jin screamed. "I'm on my way!"

Yoongi looked to Jimin who had clear panic in his eyes. He shook his head and began mumbling to himself. He could stop Yoongi, but not Jin, no one could stop that man. It was not that the young man did not wish to eat because really it was all his body begged for next to sleep. However, Jimin's mentality was on other things that did not include feeding himself. He was too worried for so many other things that treating himself respectably wasn't even near his main priority. He tried going to bed, but his weak body did not have the strength to push off the two males that joined them in their home. Jin wasn't even needed for Hoseok alone was able to carry the weak body to the chair and to hold it in place.

"Listen boy," Jin started lecturing. "I made this so you're eating all of it. I made Joon go three towns over for the ingredients so you best savor everything in here. Meanwhile, we'll be talking about getting that punishment removed. I think you've suffered enough."

Jimin stared down at the plate full of rice and it's sides before gazing up with his tired eyes.

"If I get mine removed then so should Jungkook and Taehyung. It's only fair."

The punishments were to be implemented for a month long on orders of the bunny in charge of their department. Whoever that was never was it said, but the boys living the orders sure hated them. Nevertheless, whether the punishment could be lifted was question left for those in charge. Everyone hoped for the removal to be approved for the image of Jimin alone was pitiful enough without the sight of the other two punished. Jungkook's face was barely seen anymore given he was taken his freedom from him. He was to do only his duties then report back home. How he escaped to get Jihyun that night two weeks ago was a real mystery since he was being monitored from home. Taehyung on the other hand wasn't doing all so well. With the disturbing images in thought he had turned to acohol almost every night to forget. Jimin only knew this because while attempting to sleep he would hear Hoseok lecture him about the poison.

"Namjoon is on his way here with Taehyung and Jungkook." Jin announced with a heavy sigh. "He caught them at old Kibs' bar drowning themselves in whatever acohol they got their hands on. Jimin I suggest you start eating and quick because Joon's not in a good mood and if he sees that plate full them you're really going to hear it."

Jimin did not fight anymore. He forced down the food only to realize after the first spoonful that he was famished. Like a manic, he put more and more into his mouth that it was hard to chew. He was joined by Yoongi who paced him and told him when to take a drink or when to breathe. They made it through half the meal when the entrance door was slammed open by a raging Namjoon. The three joining the four were not even up the stairs yet it could be heard clearly what the conversation they upheld was about.

Taehyung and Jungkook were getting the scolding of their lives.

"Well someone better pick their asses up once he's done with them." Jin commented as he peeked for them from the stairs. Everyone else stayed put in the kitchen where they were the safest for the time being. Jimin continued on eating, even faster as to avoid a scream from Namjoon. He succeed for his two drunk friends were the only thing that could be given attention to. Taehyung and Jungkook were made sit like Jimin at the table. Their red faces were all so much angering to Namjoon that he had to be forced out of the room to prevent him from doing something drastic.

"Well... that was something." Taehyung said at last before looking to his best friend with a wide smile. "Hey Jiminie, long time no see!"

Long time no see indeed for they had no time for just them two. Jimin patted his shoulder only for his attention was more on Jungkook who was part of his recent suffering. The night Jihyun visited it had been decided they'd draw out the eldest Park brother with chaos yet never was it specified how. Jihyun got a call which caused him to leave immediately, but he promised to get an answer back through Jungkook.

"Has Hyun said anything?"

Jungkook hiccuped. "I-I don't know. B-But don't worry. We're already on it."

As if on cue the three silenced themselves to hear the other four speaking. In a distressing tone Namjoon spoke.

"They're going to alert the bunnies again!"

Oof what a long chapter.
