The figure eyed Jungkook as it stepped forward and flicked the needle to the syringe right after. There, his face was completely covered and not even his eyes could be seen through the pale moonlight kicking through the cracks of the curtains. The figure then reached the boy and held out his shoulder before setting in the needle and soon, inserting the substance inside Jungkook. This left the boy to let out a soft hum in discomfort before he was completely silenced after. This left the figure to stare further at the boy.

Just as it stood there, Jimin suddenly pulled the figure of a man back and gripped onto his arm before throwing him against the wall. Right there, he completely pinned the unknown against the cold and still wall. “WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?!” Jimin shouted at the figure and grasped onto his collar before constantly slamming him against the wall until the man kicked Jimin back and pulled out a gun within seconds. Pointing it to Jungkook instead. Within the still and quiet moment, He heard the figure speak to him right after. “Don't you fucking dare-”

“Honestly… I wasn't planning to. I didn't think I'd recognize your crazy ways, Boss.” Spoke the man and in seconds, he pulled his black mask away and revealed his small and pale face before Park Jimin. “You didn't even recognize me, Jimin!”

“Min Yoongi… Ugh I'm so stupid… I saw you outside, I knew this was your night to guard him.” Jimin hissed to himself and rolled his hair back in frustration. There Yoongi stood with perfect posture and his outfit was nothing but a big black coat over his black turtleneck sweater, matching shoes and pants. Of course, he had black latex gloves on, his hair pulled back into a beanie that contained all the strands of hair within, and even the bottoms of his shoes had tape so the markings underneath wouldn't be traced. “What did you fucking put in him?”

“Don't act so stupid now, I put him the same substance you gave me before I designed his tattoo.” Yoongi confessed. The older was responsible for Jungkook's tattoo and watching over the boy at times. But other than that, Jimin spoke of it as if he had many others guarding Jungkook at night. “He won't wake up even if I was to shoot his arm.” Yoongi joked and folded his arms right after. “Where are your medications?”

“In the car…” Jimin replied and sat on the bed to let out an exhale. “You didn't have to come in here if you knew I was here from the start… Why do you act so different when it comes to guarding Jungkook? One of those smiling idiots told me how close you were with him in the day, and by night… the two of you would stay together in your place. Follow the fucking schedule Yoongi! You don't have every day to guard him like this, what are you trying to do? Take him for yourself?!” Jimin grew assertive towards Yoongi as the older only glared at the boss.

“What's this? You get your information from those smiling creeps? I thought we were at each other's necks for the ‘pets’! Then I hear we are allies with them? Just the other day Jung Hoseok played off a riddle that hit too close to home and I had to teach him a lesson. Now, no one knows where he is and he probably went to snitch to our new ‘allies' I don't believe it… Not one bit. He's in the opposing team… Are you sure Suyong is still safe in their hands at the moment? Like an idiot… You left your little Suyong like bait to the sharks.” The older argued with his boss and tilted his head to walk around the room before landing his eyes over Jungkook. “But you were busy playing with your toy, you forgot that they were after him.”

“That's not possible… We negotiated and found better ways to deal with payments for the ‘pets.’ I don't know why they suddenly seem to be after Jungkook! I specifically stated-”

“You know how they are… We find, mark, they take, they sell. It's fucking rocket science, Jimin! They're doing business. Ugh, I swear if I find another one of those smiling freaks down the corner… I'll-”

“Enough… You know what happened to Kim Taehyung. You wouldn't dare...” Jimin mentioned as Yoongi grew silent as if hearing that name was a sensitive topic to hear.

“You're really something else, Jimin. It's so hard for the others to guard him when there's two stupid detectives after this case. One intelligent guy with big shoulders, another guy with a baby.” Yoongi added and stretched right after. “You need your medication, you know how you get without them. You almost killed me back there.” The older mentioned and let out a chuckle once he adjusted the bottom of his latex gloves. “Just don't hurt him...”

“Why would I hurt Jungkook? I would never do that to him…”

“Just keep those medications in check and you won't… But if you do, you and I are going to have problems…” Yoongi threatened his boss as Jimin pulled a smirk to himself and walked forward, stopping Yoongi from leaving.

“So, you think you could threaten me, Yoongi? You can never… Stick to guarding him and stay in your lane or else you'll have to deal with me.” Jimin replied and rose his hand to poke Yoongi's chest; making the man step further back until he reached the wall once more. “You love him, do you?”

“You're stupid if you think I'm in love with him…” Yoongi replied into a hiss before slapping Jimin's hand away from his chest. “You better watch your back, boss. You can't even trust yourself.” With that, Yoongi walked out of the room, leaving Jimin to hear Yoongi's footsteps fade into silence right after. As soon as Yoongi left the scene, Jimin glanced over at Jungkook fast asleep as he crawled over to the younger and hugged him close.

“I won't let them hurt you… I led them off last time… Right? You're mine… now there's no escape… You're with me forever now…” Jimin whispered to the boy's ear. Even if Jungkook was fast asleep with the shot he was given by Yoongi, Jimin still hugged him close as if he was listening to him from the start. Deep down, Jimin still knew there was more to what he discussed with Yoongi out within the room. However, they only kept the rest of the conversation confidential to avoid others listening in. They couldn't be too sure when it came to talking about business almost anywhere.

When morning came around, Jungkook opened his tired eyes in silence and cupped his head once more. He couldn't seem to understand why he woke up with a big headache and his body felt weak. He understood the aftermath of having sex, but he just couldn't believe this feeling was after it. He understood his inability to walk, but not have a massive headache. The boy sat up within seconds and right after, his nose began to bleed from one of his nostrils. “J-Jimin… Where's Jimin?” Jungkook thought and as soon as he asked, Jimin walked out of the bathroom with his hair fixed, his body washed, and he was wearing the outfit he wore yesterday.

“Oh, Jungkook!” Jimin panicked and rushed over to the boy just to lay him back and grab a tissue from the box right over the nightstand. “Are you okay? Jungkook… How did you get this?” Jimin asked and dried the blood as Jungkook kept gazing at him.

“I woke up… With a headache… and I started bleeding from my nose. Jimin, does this normally happen? I've never had sex in a long time, but this! This is something else…” Jungkook complained. The innocent boy believed it was the hard and steamy night that led him to wake up this way, but in reality, it was the substance Yoongi inserted into Jungkook's arm in the early morning. “Were you by my side… All night?”

“Of course I was, Jungkook… Stop talking, you're going to cause a bigger headache.” The man claimed and sat by the naked boy to wipe the blood that dripped from his nose. “Are you sure you want to go to class today? I think it's better if you get your absence excused, you don't look too good… Let me take care of you.” Jimin offered and placed his free hand to softly caress Jungkook’s cheek. “I can take care of you… Keep you here and give you everything you need. Instead of going to class today, I can let your professors know and maybe when you feel a lot better, I can tutor you the lectures they taught in class. How does that sound, Jungkook?”

Jungkook was flattered Jimin offered so much and was willing to be by his side through it all, but just then, he felt as if Jimin was a little too clingy. However, clingy or not, Jungkook didn't mind it at all. He just believed it was Jimin's way of loving. So, the boy couldn't dare to judge the one who gave him such a sensual night before.

“What will it be, Jungkook?”

“Y-Yes.. Okay..” Jungkook replied into a whisper and ran his hands up Jimin's own to pull him into a deep hug as well. “Thank you, Jimin… What would I do without you?” Jungkook asked as Jimin smiled to himself.

“Suffer.” Jimin answered and leaned in to kiss Jungkook over the forehead. “I'll take good care of you, Jungkook. Don't worry about it.” Jimin assured and wiped the blood from Jungkook's nose. The man even made sure he kept another clean tissue over Jungkook’s nostril and got up to get rid of the other blood-stained tissue. Jungkook felt his heart pound each second he looked into the eyes of his lover before blushing and turning away with the most happiest smile ever. “I'll make you breakfast and then I'll help you wash up.”

“Thank you…” Jungkook answered as Jimin then walked out of the room with his blank and off stare right after. He loved the feeling of being able to have Jungkook in his arms; having him close enough and far from danger was what kept Jimin assured. The man walked to the kitchen and smiled to himself knowing that he was going to be by Jungkook's side every second and none of it seemed to bother the boy just once. On the other hand, Jungkook just didn't see the full picture just yet.

The older stood at the kitchen and took his own prescription from his pocket; taking it and swallowing it with water to wash it down. There Jimin kept his head pointed towards the sink of the kitchen and closed his eyes for a good second before feeling himself again. But by the hour, he knew that he would have to get more medications to keep him sane. Until then, Jimin stood in Jungkook’s place and set out eggs and pancake batter to make Jungkook breakfast.

Meanwhile, Seokjin walked into his office in the morning with new files as Namjoon walked right behind him. The detectives carried a deep and concerned face while Namjoon still carried his daughter in his arms. As soon as they reached the office, Seokjin dropped the files onto the desk and sat into his rolling chair to think to himself. “Five other students from a high school has gone missing once they left their house to go to school in the early morning… Ugh this is killing me! We have no lead and many people are vanishing under our watch.” Hissed the head detective as Namjoon smiled at his young daughter and poked her nose to hear her soft giggles. “Namjoon, would you please find a babysitter! She's distracting me!”

“Don't blame my daughter that you're walking around in circles, Seokjin. Anyway, we haven't found any traces on Jung Hoseok yet… But I think we should check in with Jungkook if he has anything for us today.” Namjoon suggested and glanced up at the detective by the desk. “He's the main one they might want and we haven't had him report to us with information at all. Let's pay him a visit today while we still can.”

The idea of coming to see Jungkook if he had anything occurred to him, eased Seokjin's mind when he thought of the case right after. He just knew there could have been something he missed from the start. “Jeon Jungkook… You're right, I almost forgot that he was essential to this.” Seokjin spoke and took out a picture he took of Jungkook’s tattoo. As the detective looked deeper into the picture of Jungkook's tattoo, he began to realize that there was something more peculiar within the texture of the boy's skin. Almost as if something hid underneath it.
