《The Man Between The Pages {Jikook} [completed]》~Into the lion's den~
Advertisement
was eagerly waiting for the couple to appear on the hideout's doorstep. His plan was perfectly uncurling in his mind, a small chuckle escaping his mouth, the picture of a fragile Jimin begging for Jungkook's salvation.
Averting his eyes from the now turned off screens to Taehyung who was silently sharpening his knives, the author checked his book. And that's when he noticed why he was so inferior to Jungkook. How the younger man's descriptions flowed in the pages, how the couple's confessions were depicted on the paper as if love actually existed...
Their bond was so strong that Yoongi didn't even need to find a plot for his book. It could easily be named ''A couple's confessions'' and it would still sell millions. Millions that Yoongi had before and so recklessly spent. Millions that are now being used for bribing police officers, shops, paying people to kill others, bailsmen... paying people to fall in love.
Paying for fame, for a bigger name while destroying completely another human lives.
Cause if Yoongi dug deeper in his heart, he would find the many talents he was gifted. His ear for music, his abilities to play the most perfect chess match... yet he wanted to be the best in everything, a task unachievable.
And Jeon Jungkook knew that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
''I still have many doubts Jungkook''.
''Then we are on the same page Jimin. But I have nothing to lose except you. If I let you handle the situation all by youself you might end up behind bars or worse...dead. But together... if we try to do this together maybe I can...''.
''Don't you dare. Don't continue your sentence Jeon Jungkook. I forbid you'' Jimin growled and jumped in the co-driver's seat.
''I haven't driven this thing in ages, it always reminded me of my mother and... and now I am using it to save myself. How did my life take this turn?'' he wondered while turning the engine on.
''Jungkook... when we go to them just...don't let their words affect you. It is just a mind game, a way to play with your brain to the point of actually controlling it. Even if you have the most solid argument, he will manage to turn it against you. I know how it is, I have done this to people too, not to kill them but still''.
''Why did you ask me to call my father before? D-Did they hurt him?'' Jungkook inquired while accelerating speed. ''And tell me the truth''.
''I honestly don't know... It's just a gut. I don't want to rush into conclusions cause Yoongi is so unpredictable but I expect everything from him''.
''He placed cameras all over my house. I expect everything from him too'' Jungkook murmured and took a sharp turn.
''It's the small house right there'' Jimin spoke with a broken voice when he saw Jungkook gripping tightly on the steering wheel as if he didn't want to leave the vehicle but had to do so.
''I still can't believe that so many people just wanted to hurt me... without even knowing me'' he whispered yet his voice echoed in the car. ''I just feel numb, I feel nothing, I actually feel nothing'' he chuckled. If Jungkook didn't know himself and his limits, this whole situation could easily drive him insane.

He knew that if he survived this night, he would still miss a piece of him. A trauma that will always follow him. Will he always feel violated? Will he always be scared of commitment or trust? Will Jimin be sitting next to him to remind him what love is?
''I love you. I am so sorry, please forgive me. I promise I love you so much''.
And Jungkook believed him. Cause the words that Jimin was scared to say his entire life were now falling from his mouth so easily. Delicately and only for Jungkook to hear.
''Do you think this is our last moment together? Is this why you are saying this now?''.
''I just didn't want to end this with a painful memory. You are my life. And I want my life to end beautifully'' Jimin smiled with sincerity.
''With your lips on mine?'' Jungkook soughed.
''Please''.
And just like that Jungkook placed his hands as gently as he could on either side of his lover's face. Just like that he melted in front of the older's gaze, whose cheek was softly touching the author's palm.
''C-Can I know your real name?'' Jungkook wondered.
''I have had so many yet I think Jimin suits me best, don't you think?'' the blond smiled. ''Call me yours and I will answer'' he concluded before pressing his lips on Jungkook's.
And the skies collided, crying hopelessly creating the night's stars. The moon began shining brightly, a guide for the two in the dark of terrors. Melting into each other's heat, without having to prove their love anymore, they stayed like this for a while. It was just them running in both written and empty pages, for the past united them and the future wasn't yet known.
But their present was there, mere yet incredible.
''You were the only page I never wanted to end Jimin''.
''You were the only change I wasn't afraid of Jungkook''.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
''They are here'' Yoongi chuckled. ''Call Jimin''.
The silence in the vehicle stopped, the instant Jimin's phone vibrated.
''It's him. I told you he'd call us''.
''Answer. Just pick it up Jimin'' Jungkook fidgeted on his seat.
''It's so nice to meet you Jungkook. Thank you for your wonderful ideas by the way. The show too''.
It's all a mindgame Jungkook, don't fall for it.
''I don't know what Jimin has told you but if my boyfriend did this to me, I swear I would have slaughtered him on the spot. Maybe that's our difference... that I have the guts and you don't'' he continued.
It's all a mindgame Jungkook, part of his manipulation. Don't. Fall. For. It.
''I am here, sitting with every single person that exploited you. Here with everyone who talked to you, pretened to care for you and love you. Everyone who saw you naked and vulnerable or trembling on the floor like a fish on the sand. Everyone who heard you moan or cry, shout and speak words of love''.
''I am turning it off'' Jimin uttered.
''Your father would love to say hi but he is quiet hesitant at the moment'' Yoongi quickly muttered cheekily and ended the phonecall, leaving Junkook in utter despair.

''You motherfucking asshole!'' Jungkook shouted and ran out of his car.
''Jungkook, no!'' Jimin screamed when he saw the younger locking his car afterwards. ''What are you doing? Kook!''.
''If I don't come back in half an hour, call the police. Save yourself gorgeous'' Jungkook shouted and ran to the house, forgetting the gun on the back seat of the stationary vehicle.
''Shit! Jungkook!'' Jimin kept on screaming when he saw his lover running into the lion's den. Trying to fall on the window with all his weight, Jimin only managed to hurt his ribcage despite using all his strentgh. Without thinking straight, his senses fogged with anger, Jimin binded his hand up with the sleeves of his shirt and punched the window making it fracture. His knuckles fully bruised with blood running between his fingers, Jimin shouted in agony when he heard a gunshot coming from the house.
''Nooooooo!'' he shrieked and grabbed the gun shooting directly in the spot his punch cracked the glass a minute ago. The window shattered in pieces and in a matter of seconds, Jimin placed the gun in his belt and jumped out of the window, the remaining glass fragments tearing his ribcage apart.
It's like he didn't have time to care about his own pain when next to him, the love of his life could be in danger.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The moment Jungkook broke down the house's door, a piercing pain punched through his thigh making him fall down o the floor with a loud thud.
''Honestly, it was easier than I expected'' Taehyung scoffed and sat back on his chair. Namjoon's mouth opened agape when he saw Yoongi entering the room with a vivid smile on his face.
''Nice to meet you... Kook. Where is gorgeous, I would love to say hi'' he mocked and pressed his foot onto the younger's injured thigh. Jungkook was gasping for air, his eyes filling with tears when he saw the familiar blond who pretended to be his friend, now shooting him to death.
''Where is my father?'' Jungkook asked gritting his teeth.
''Not even a hello? How rude...'' Yoongi murmured. ''I mean, I know you so well I think I deserved a small greeting. Your father was so polite when he invited Hoseok in his place. He never talked back, not even when we abducted him''.
''You are lying'' Jungkook soughed hesitantly.
''Hoseok... do I lie?'' he asked the younger man who was observing the situation with trepidation. ''Hoseok.... do I lie?'' he repeated when he saw the man wavering.
''I... I am sorry Jungkook. I am sorry'' he spoke between his tears.
Jungkook's defensive walls shattered in an instant, the pain on his thigh being replaced with a pain in his heart.
''Jungkook!'' Jimin shouted and ran in the house, his heart almost stopping with the sight of the man crawling on the floor. ''What did you do to him?'' he growled at the older who stared at him with an indifferent expression.
''If you followed the plan and my orders he would be at his house now. Broken hearted but physically intact''.
''Put the gun down Taehyung'' Jimin spoke sterly and raised his, aiming at Taehyung's head. The blond laughed tauntingly and aimed back at Jungkook with no remorse.
''Can't do that Jimin. I am doing my job... something that you failed to do''.
Yoongi brought his gun right next to Jimin's head while Jungkook was trying to lift himself up.
Jimin attempted to remain unfazed, his eyes quickly scanning the room when he noticed that one of his ''co-workers'' was missing. His boyfriend's heart was beating faster than ever, the news of his father splintering his tough exterior and making him cry like a little kid.
''You... You killed Jin. You don't care about anynone at all? It's over Yoongi'' Jimin loaded the gun, his hands trembling from agony.
The swift noise alarmed Namjoon and Hoseok who unwillingly raised their own pistols aiming at Jimin.
''If by over you mean getting you and your boyfriend killed then be my guest. For fuck's sake look at you. You are both bleeding already, that's an unfair battle'' he taunted him.
''The police is on its way Yoongi, all the evidence is here. Let's end this'' Jimin lied.
''You know it's a win for me anyway Jimin. Maybe I forgot to mention the part where your sister is transferring to another jail without you knowing in which one. Killing me will lead to your doom... On the other hand I have nothing to lose cause...'' Yoongi's eyes opened in shock when Jungkook revealed a knife from his boot impaling Taehyung's calf in the process.
In a moment with a flip of switch, Taehyung fell down from the pain, his gun falling on the ground with a thump making it easily accessible for Jungkook to catch. The youngest held the deadly device tightly, instantly fearing Yoongi's hungry gaze.
''You knew we would come here in the first place but you never expected us to fight back? I was a sociopath Yoongi... whatever you have thought, has already crossed my mind a million times already'' Jimin exclaimed.
And in rapid attempt to prove Jimin wrong, Yoongi shot the blond to the head. As if Jimin had predicted the older's move, fell on the ground to dodge the bullet but he never heard its sound clanking in the wall. Turning his head on the side, the blond closed his eyes in an attempt to prevent the gruesome spectacle from lingering in his memories.
Hoseok's lifeless body fell on the floor while blood began jetting out of the wound.
Jungkook let out a loud shriek that broke down Namjoon's walls who began welling up for his friend. Taehyung just gulped with the sight of the gruesome spectacle yet he still managed to lift himself up and stand up for both Yoongi and himself.
''Stop lumpering yourself with more pain Yoongi''.
And indeed Yoongi was unpredictable...
