「 JIMIN – october 15th, 1:15am • DAY TWO 」

JIMIN OUICKLY LIFTS HIS HEAD WHEN HE HEARS A DOOR OPEN.

He feels weak from the slight blood loss, and the lack of water and food. He must've fallen asleep at some point because he doesn't remember there being a bandage on his head or a blanket in his lap.

Jimin's eyes watch as the door opens further and someone in a mask steps inside, a bottle of water and a can of tomato soup in his hands.

When the water is handed to him, Jimin quickly forces the lid off and downs half the bottle in one go. With shaking hands, he takes the soup and plastic spoon offered to him and eyes it suspiciously.

Deciding that whoever took him probably wouldn't want to poison him since he's still alive so far, he digs in. When he finishes, the masked man offers him some pills. Jimin stares at them.

"For your head," the masked man snaps, and Jimin thinks he sounds a bit familiar but he can't place where he's heard that slightly muffled, slightly distorted voice before.

"Who are you?" Jimin asks, eyes narrowed. "Where are we? What do you want with me?"

"Take the goddamn pills and shut your mouth," the man replies harshly, and Jimin studies the pills – they're only ibuprofen, so he places them in his mouth and swallows.

Jimin knows that his glare isn't very fierce or effective because the man just laughs at him.

"You look like an angry baby," he comments, shaking his head. "When I came in earlier, you were sleeping like one, too. So vulnerable. So–"

"What the hell do you want?" Jimin questions, hoping his voice isn't shaking that much. "Why would you kidnap me and– and then treat me so nicely? Bandaging my head, feeding me, giving me pain relievers– why?"

"Why are you complaining? It could be worse. So, so much worse. You don't even know."

"Why would you keep me alive and fine if you're just going to kill me when it's all over?"

The man doesn't answer, turning to leave the room.

"Why did you take me?" Jimin asks, but there's a long pause before he gets a response.

"It's a surprise. You'll find out soon enough, though."

And with that, he's left alone again, with nothing to do but stare at the walls and wait for something to happen, wait for someone to help him.
