Jimin couldn't move. No matter how much he turned his upper body, the man before him, apprehended and trapped Jimin in a tight spot. At this point, Jimin only wished he was strong enough to push the man off, but he wasn't able to. He didn't have enough strength before and he still didn't have enough strength now to save his own life. As much as his mind clung onto the idea of Jungkook, he just couldn't keep him enough to avoid crying from the familiar feeling of being held down against his own will.

"GET OFF OF ME, PLEASE!" Jimin shouted and suddenly began to cry. Despite his medications doing a great job in keeping his mind in the right place, the Director managed to tear it down in seconds and cause Jimin to feel helpless. "No... n-no, not again..."

"TELL ME! TELL ME HE DOESN'T MAKE YOU SMILE! TELL ME I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO DOES THAT TO YOU, TELL ME I'M THE ONLY ONE YOU LOVE, JIMIN!" The constant shouts of the Director through his own tears, caused Jimin to flinch every second. Even if he wasn't strong enough to push him off, it didn't stop him from trying.

"N-NO... NAMJOON!" Jimin begged and shouted for his friend to save him, but the man before him only deepened his grip along his weak wrists, causing the weak idol to hiss and silence his cries almost instantly. Now, the Director was able to feel Jimin's rapid pulse through pressing his wrists together by force.

"Do you really think he could hear you?! My angel.. did you forget these walls are soundproof? Y-You should know this by now..." Director Sung mentioned and continued to look at Jimin through his own endless tears he shed. "Now... tell me... tell me I'm the only one who makes you smile, Jimin... tell me he means nothing to you!"

"GET OFF OF ME-" Jimin continued to shout his desperate cries, but doing so only left him to inhale heavily and choke on the toxic cologne of the Director's signature scent slipping through his nostrils. "GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME AND LET ME GO!"

"NOT UNTIL YOU TELL ME HOW MUCH YOU LOVE ME AND SAY HE MEANS NOTHING TO YOU!" The Director then moved his head in closer as Jimin quickly tried to turn his face away, but the monster before him still had his face pointed in his direction. Forcing him to look at nothing else but the man before him. "Tell me... tell me I'm all you need to be happy Jimin, how could you forget what we had?! HOW COULD YOU?! TELL ME AND I'LL LET YOU GO!"

"PLEASE-"

"ANSWER ME! HOW COULD YOU REPLACE THE ONE WHO LOVES YOU?!"

", STOP IT PLEASE! DON'T DO THIS TO ME AGAIN!" Jimin yelled through his own sobs. Calling the man by his name and breaking down completely. No longer believing that the medication was capable of keeping him distracted from his pain for so long. The moment Jimin cried out the man's name, the Director suddenly stopped and exhaled heavily through his own tears before quickly pulling back.

Joo-won's hands trembled as he only dried his own tears. His eyes widened the more he watched Jimin cover his face and turn over to press his head against the armrest of the couch. Jimin no longer wished to look at the man before him and reveal his own tears. He watched Jimin break down and didn't realize his actions and his words until he listened to Jimin shout and say his name after going a long time without hearing the young man call out to him.

"Leave..." The Director murmured and walked over to his chair before sitting down and fixing his tie against his collar. Becoming speechless and drying his tears after shouting and holding Jimin so tightly. Those actions left him silent and he just didn't wish to see Jimin like this again. "You're free to go..."

"I'm not leaving... u-until Jungkook becomes my photographer... until you allow it..." Jimin fought through his endless tears even if pain was still doubling on him. He longed to run off, but Jimin always wanted to keep Jungkook first and waited until Jungkook was able to be put into consideration. This was Jimin's hope for being happy, he needed Jungkook to smile and wasn't going to leave until that's what he got. "Please..."

The Director listened to Jimin's voice tremble. At that moment, he remained seated on the chair and watched Jimin dry his own tears repeatedly.

"Jimin..."

"Please... I need him..." Jimin begged. The way he hoped to stay until he got what he wanted was dangerous. In no way did Jimin long to leave the moment he was freed until he was sure that Jungkook was going to live with him and make his painful memories slip away like nothing. It was something about going through so much that doing something difficult all for the feeling of bliss, seemed like a good way to go in his mind. Jimin was desperate for the feeling he gained from Jungkook and didn't plan on leaving at all until he had his remedy.

Just then the Director watched how Jimin folded his own hands together once again. Simulating the feeling of his own hands intertwining with Jungkook and helping him escape into the endless paradise he felt in his head the moment he recalled his happiness. Joo-won didn't know what it meant, but for some reason, it managed to dry Jimin's tears and distract him from what he went through before. As soon as the man caught onto Jimin's strong desire to have Jungkook as his photographer to the point where he was willing to stay, intrigued him even more.

"Leave and I'll let him work with you..." He whispered. That soft whisper was enough to make Jimin look onto the ground and finally stand. Still avoiding eye contact as he dried his tears once again and quickly left the office before anything else could happen. He only wanted to hear the Director say those words and leave, but no matter how much he wanted to hear those words in order to be happy with Jungkook, the actions of the Director still carved a deeper hole into his soul.

The moment Jimin left the office, the man sat back against the chair silently. Contemplating the way he held Jimin down against the same chair he was harmed in the last time he visited. In that very second, he looked down at a specific spot over his desk and removed his hands from that part and laid back to let out a frustrated sigh.

"The lengths... he would go for that photographer... it's no secret he longs for him..." the Director continued until he scoffed into a faint smile. Thinking of the photographer Jimin wanted to keep close by. "Jeon Jungkook... What a lucky guy... Jimin is willing to do anything for him... anything... anything. Jimin will do anything to keep that boy here... oh, this is going to get interesting."

As soon as Jimin walked out of the office, his eyes remained puffy and his nose was as red as a vibrant rose. He wanted to smile knowing that Jungkook was finally going to be closer to him, but he couldn't focus now. Jimin was reminiscing on the way he was caged against the chair. But then, he caught onto what made the Director stop and that was the moment he called out to him by his name. Jimin avoided calling that monster by his first name for the longest but the moment he did, it saved him from anything else the older man had planned for the model.

Jimin was beginning to realize that the man he used to be in a relationship with, was weak when it came to hurting the younger to an extent. Jimin just hoped he was strong enough to stop this all at once. Even if he got his way and will have Jungkook by his side, Jimin wished he was far away with his happiness so he wouldn't have to face the Director like that again.

Concurrently, Jungkook finished taking pictures of another client for the day. There were many people waiting in the lobby, so he didn't get the chance to sit down and think of the day before. Just as he finished off the client, he handed the SD card over to Hoseok in order for touch ups since Yoongi now focused on appointments and customer service while Taehyung was another photographer for the studio, going out with the clients to take photos of them outside of the studio in selected places.

The moment Jungkook handed the SD card over to Hoseok, he looked out in the lobby to see more people standing around. Before he began to take the appointments for the day, he was sure to review more applications and set up days on when to interview new employees. After a long first week of having his studio become well-known with the help of Jimin, his life was anything but simple now.

"I'm back!" Taehyung called out as he stepped into the lobby and watched a few clients look at him and follow his every movement before giggling behind their hands. "Hello, my loves, who's next?~"

"Cut it out, Taehyung, the remaining are indoor shoots!" Yoongi chimed in, looking over the schedule as Taehyung smiled and walked towards the entrance to the wide studio behind the desk.

"Then, if any other outdoor shoots come around, I nominate Jungkook to go! It's too hot out there for me..."

"Knowing how you can get towards heat, I'll have no other choice but to take it," Jungkook mentioned before he recalled the fact that he wasn't going to be working alongside his team for that long. "Until next week of course..."

"Next week?" Hoseok asked curiously as he touched up a few photos by fixing the lighting like the client asked. "Going on vacation, boss?"

"Hey... that's not fucking fair-"

"Cool it, Taehyung..." Yoongi jumped back in and laughed as he continued to tease the younger man. "Where are you going, Jungkook?"

"I have a different job waiting for me. I was asked to be a personal photographer for a big company. That's pretty much it, but I'll have to see how it turns out for me." Jungkook wasn't on the nose when it came to mentioning Jimin's name in front of other customers waiting in the lobby, so he left the conversation at that and walked back into the studio space behind him.

"Big company?" Taehyung questioned and followed Jungkook into the vast studio space with a smirk before closing the door behind him. "What's this big company you're leaving us for?~"

"You should know by now..."

"Don't tell me you're going to work for Jimin~" Taehyung teased and watched Jungkook blush before letting out a stutter over his own words.

"I-Is there something wrong with that?" Jungkook asked and smiled to himself. Turning away from the older man behind him. "It's not permanent, only temporary to see if I enjoy working with him..."

"Come on, Jungkook! Tell me you're in a relationship with him already, I wouldn't be surprised if-"

"We're just friends... with benefits..." Jungkook shot down Taehyung's thoughts and looked behind to see the man holding onto a sour face. "Don't do that!"

"Ew... that's confusing! Why did you choose to be friends with benefits?"

"It's way better than meeting up with him and fucking just to ignore eachother the second after. Maybe through this, I just thought we would share conversations without turning away from a few topics! Jimin... isn't a very open guy to me as of yet since we aren't so close, but I want to know more about him!"

"You literally let him pipe you every now and then, how much closer can you get-"

"THAT'S NOT TRUE, I PIPE HIM- Ah, stop teasing me! It's enough that I'm beginning to complicate things for myself... I'm starting to have feelings for him when I don't even know who he is." Jungkook then let out a sigh and sat down on a stool before he pondered a few thoughts on his drunk night before. "All I know is what I see... and what I see is a clingy, closed off guy who has many mysteries behind those many giggles he gives off. I want to be patient with him... but what if I end up waiting forever?"
