Teahyung and Rosie had entered jungkook's premises. They quietly entered the house, the scattered foods and broken glasses of dishes were cleaned away now. The house's lights were off and Taehyung could hear small snores somewhere. He looked around the house, Rosie put on her phone's flash light so they see. "Brother Tae...." Rosie called in a small but worried voice, " Jimin..." She continued as she pointed at the spot where Jimin was laying.
He was still laying under the dining table. Whoever had cleaned the house, might either saw him and denied helping him up, or didn't see him at all. Tae was still standing puzzled as he watched Jimin's small body on the cold floor. It was cold outside, and so is the inside. But jimin was on the floor, he was only clad in a white light transparent garment.
Part of his left thigh was not covered, Tae got back in senses and ran to him. He raised his head up and rested it on his own thighs. Rosie looked around and switched on the lights. She then showed her brother the sofa at the other side of the house. " You should put him there, it's cold on the floor" Tae lift Jimin up, his whole body was fragile.
He hurriedly walked to the stairs but stopped before he had climbing even a single stair. He looked at the sofa and his sister, through the doors outside, the curtains where being blown by the wind, Tae's eyes ran back to the stairs. "Prepare some porridge and soup, Rosie" he ordered her sister before looking at Jimin and climbed went up stairs.
Tae clearly remembered the Jimin's threats. Could he wake up and think Tae took his threats for bluff, won't he get more mad? Tae's focus went back to Jimin and wondered what could have happened that made Jimin this weak. He wonder if jungkook had done this to Jimin!
If at all jungkook hadn't come home? How the hell did he find out about the food. Did come home and fought with Jimin?
How could have known about the food if he hasn't come home. Did he punish Jimin for letting him cook and threw the food away, then he lied that it was Jimin who did so. Yes, that was it. He wondered how a person of that heart was brought up. How did Jimin even fall for him? What good thing did he admire about him.
Taehyung entered Jimin's room and pushed the door open with his bark. He slowly pressed Jimin on the side of the slumber. The fancy chandelier that hung up at the roof. The room was all painted white and some grey line, which made it look so formal. Tae didn't feel right about the beddings so he shifted Jimin again to the couch on the side. He covered him for a while as he dressed the bed with new sheets. On putting Jimin back to the bed, his body was cold, his garment was also stained with food.
He went for the wardrobe, fetched some clean cotton trousers and a shirt. He untied the robe slowly. He had done this before, he could dress Jimin when he was sick. Nothing was new. But that was long ago, right now it was something he was not sure Jimin would appreciate, he had came up stairs even though Jimin forbid him from doing so. He was now planning to dress him.
Tae looked lost in his thoughts, he was still holding the untied robe but had not opened it apart. His eyes searched Jimin's body as he thought, the face...very pale. Lips pale too. The neck tinted in red hand marks. His hands, also red marks. He got up but before he could stand straight, that's when it heat him. Jimin's body had red marks, taehyung slowly turned and looked back at Jimin's neck.
Large hand marks, he had been strangled. Both his wrists were marked too. He opened Jimin's garment at a high speed this time. His whole body was filled with bruises , he removed the garment. Jimin was now left in his shirt pyjamas, taehyung could see small marks on the thighs but only if he raised his legs, was when the picture came to his mind.
He got the bruises through sexual intercourse. Tae tagged Jimin's legs back down and looked at his face. He felt tears on his cheeks, he suddenly wanted to tell him how it is okay. But how was is it okay with Jimin in this state, he was being tortured. Jimin was sexually tortured. "Brother Tae....." Suddenly a voice was calling him from outside the room. Rosie was pushing the door open when Tae stopped her.
" Don't come in" He said before she could come in. Rosie from outside, could see Jimin's bruised body through a small opening. She decided to leave and go back downstairs. Taehyung coveredJimin with a bed cover. He weakly moved to the bathroom and prepared some hot water. what was he going to do?
He couldn't let Jimin stay here after this, but would Jimin accept to go with him? He knew Jimin would never agree to it. He would never accept to leave jungkook. He loved him very much. Taehyung had to understand, with all this...Jimin was still willing to stay and love jungkook. He truly loved him.
Taehyung knew he'd have to understand the much love Jimin had for jungkook. He wished happiness for him, so he just had to make it right. He had to make sure jungkook treated Jimin right. Atleast that's all he would do to show Jimin how much he also loved him, to make Jimin and jungkook's relationship true.
Taehyung carried Jimin to the bathroom and pressed him in the bathtub filled with warm water. After all he had not opened his eyes ever since he came here. He needed to awake him, Tae cried as he helped Jimin with showering. It was hard to believe but it was true, the more he looked at his bruises, the more tears poured.
His baby Jimin was suffering, and he couldn't do anything to stop it. What kind of friend was he? Perhaps Jimin didn't tell him because he knew he couldn't help him. Perhaps....the thought of it even made him cry more. Tae leaned his head to the tub and cried, loudly this time. He hated jungkook so much, he hated him. Why would he accept Jimin if he was going to treat him like this? Is this the way he shows his love, his passion for other?
What a mess Jimin had fallen into?
