Innocent (TaeKook) - Chapter 10: Chapter 10

"How did it go?"
"That so-called meeting didn't even last for 10 minutes. I felt like he was not here to take my permission but more like give me an order," Minho hissed in anger.
"Because that's why he was there," the woman laughed amusingly.
"What do you mean?"
"He is JK. Did you really think he came here to ask for permission? Lol."
"You seem quite happy! Everything alright?"
"Never better. My baby gets what he wants."
"Baby? JK... your baby?"
"Not your concern. Never call me again. We don't know each other. Goodbye, Mr. Kim."
"Wait... hey, wait, j-just one thing m-more," Minho said in a very horrifying voice.
"What now?" The one on the other side said uninterestingly.
"M-my s-son."
"What about him? Don't tell me your fatherly instincts are kicking in now!"
"That's never gonna happen. He... that fag. I even feel disgusted calling him son. The thing is I don't know where he is. He... he didn't come home since 2 w-weeks. I-I think he ran a-away."
"What? And you are telling me now."
"I took the money, but I don't know what I should do now."
"Don't worry. He probably has his hands on him."
"Pardon?"
"What's his name... oh, Taehyung. He would already be at Jungkook's."
"What are you saying?"
"JK has Taehyung. That's why he came to inform you that you have no right to him now," the woman chuckled again.
"T-t-that means..."
"He already is keeping him as his own. Enjoy your day... ahhh, anii life, Mr. Kim."
Minho was about to say something else, but the other one cut the call. Minho's jaw dropped to his knees. Taehyung... his son is on JK's wishlist. Did he really underestimate his worth? Still, he collected himself when the thought of money came in.
Jungkook got out of the car and went inside. On his way to his room, he saw Yoongi sleeping on the couch. He rolled his eyes at his so-called active right-hand man.
Namjoon came out of the younger's room. He saw Jungkook standing in the living room, went straight to him.
"What are you looking at?" He traced JK's gaze and a small chuckle left his mouth, which he stopped by placing his hand on his mouth.
"Yoongi just came back half an hour ago. Was asking for you. Where have you been?" Namjoon asked while walking with JK to his room.
"Nowhere. Bring that boy to me and don't bother to come along." Jungkook asked while removing Namjoon's arm from around his shoulder and went inside.
"Come on, dude, I'm older than you, at least speak politely." Namjoon protested but didn't feel any effect on the younger.
Namjoon opened the door and saw Taehyung reading a book with quite interest. He knocked lightly to get the younger's attention, and the other lifted his head to him.
"I didn't know you like reading. If I did, I would have given you some books earlier." Namjoon asked, showing his dimple smile.
"I love reading. Always did. Mom used to read me... why... do you need anything?" Taehyung felt like spacing out, so quickly changed his mind.
"Oh... I-i umm..." Namjoon felt nervous due to the earlier experience between JK and the younger. He knew nothing good is going to happen. He could judge it by JK's mood.
"What is it, hyung?" Taehyung asked innocently.
"Hyung? You really just called me hyung Tae?." That dimple smile was much wider and brighter after just one word by the younger.
"You have been nothing but nice to me always like a big brother. If it was not you, I would have died by now with that JK of yours," Taehyung said by showing air quotation marks with his fingers, making Older laugh.
"Umm, that JK is asking for you. You need to come with me," Namjoon mimicked the younger, but instead of smiling or laughing, fear was plastered on the younger's face.
"Me? Why? Did I do something wrong again? I promise I didn't. You can take your books with you; it's okay. I don't want them. I won't even talk to anyone. I won't, I pr...." Namjoon stepped forward and held both shoulders of the younger and lifted his face by placing a finger under his chin.
"Tae, you just called me hyung. Didn't you?" The younger nodded with a sad smile and shivering shoulders. "So hyung will protect you. Don't worry. Let's just go. He hates waiting." Taehyung nodded and held Namjoon's hand tightly and followed him to the hell hole. Yes, the hell hole. That's exactly how Taehyung felt.
Taehyung walked with the slowest pace he could walk. Namjoon didn't question him. He did realize why the younger was not walking fast. He just took him to JK's room. He knocked and heard "come in" from inside. He looked back at Taehyung, and his face was exactly like that night.
Pale face, trembling body, and eyes filled with water, which were forced to stay in there.
Namjoon's heart dropped at the scene, but orders are orders. He is bound to obey. "Go inside." Taehyung's eyes widened at his words.
"You aren't coming, hyung?" his voice was deep and low, more like a whisper, a whisper of fear.
"I'm right here. Go. Hyung will just be outside." Namjoon said, completely disappointed.
"Hyung, I don't..." Taehyung was cut off when the door opened from the other side. And there stood the man, no! the worst nightmare of Taehyung's life.
"If you are over with your brotherly love, come inside." Jungkook said in his mafia tone, and that was enough to freeze blood in Taehyung's veins. Trembling increased, and with shaky legs, Taehyung moved backward, just to be yanked inside the room with the muscle force of Jungkook. He closed the door behind his back and glared at the younger.
Jungkook slowly walked towards his bed and sat on the edge of the bed and tangled his legs.
"I-i promise I didn't do anything. Y-you can ask anyone. Ask N-am... hyung. I won't talk to anyone. I gave him h-his b-books back. Really....." he flinched when the mafia roared.
"SHUT UP. Did I give you the permission to talk? Huh?" The other lowered his eyes and gulped with fear and murmured in a barely audible voice.
"Sorry," but Jungkook heard it clearly.
"You are exact slave material. This is the exact respect you are supposed to give your master." For Jungkook, those were just words, but for Taehyung,
that was like a dagger steeping inside his chest for like 100 times.
Slave
Am I a slave now?.
Slave
No, I'm not.
"Don't think too hard. Here take a look at this, and you will understand." Jungkook tossed a file towards Taehyung, which dropped at his feet. Taehyung picked it up with trembling hands and opened it, and the first page that came in front of his eyes was the page where his father signed, and his breath almost stopped when he saw the words written down his father's signature.
20 million
He didn't even need to read the papers. He knew what the other was talking about.
His father sold him.
"Your filthy father sold you, for some money. And see here you are. So tell me what should I do? And believe me, it didn't take him 2 minutes to make this decision." Jungkook was lying back on the bed and facing the ceiling. And something fell on the ground with a thud.
"Do whatever you want with me, Master. I'm your property." Jungkook felt a pang in his heart. He felt guilty. Taehyung was on his knees, head hanging low in submission.
"Get up." Taehyung stood up but didn't lift his head. After a minute, Jungkook felt like the younger was trembling more than earlier. He asked him to look at him, but the other didn't. Jungkook stepped forward and held him by his shoulders and saw the cold sweat strands on the other's forehead and his skin getting pale.
His breathing was not normal also. He was feeling differently while breathing. His chest moving up and down with a lot more force, and then he stumbled a little, and his eyes rolled back, and the boy went limp in the older's hold.
Jungkook panicked looking at the boy. He was already weak, and now he was a lot more pale and weak.
"Namjoon Hyung... Namjoon" he didn't need to call him again because the called man came running inside.
"What happened? What did you do now?" Namjoon asked glaring at JK. If he would be able to kill by eyes, Namjoon would have killed JK by now.
"I didn't... Excuse me." Jungkook regained his usual cold expression. "Take him back to his room and call Jin Hyung so that he can check him. Is he a girl? I mean, how come he is so fragile being a boy?"
"What happened, JK?" Namjoon repeated his question.
"Nothing, hyung. I called him to tell him that he is going to stay here for a very long time that's it." Jungkook was surprised by his own statement. Was he frightened of his Hyung? Well, practically yes because this cute dimple smile is just one side of the older.
"That is not the reason that he is like this now," Namjoon said while taking Taehyung out of Jungkook's arms.
"Come on. Call Jin Hyung. He is getting more and more pale."
"You could have thought about that while doing what you did. Human life is not a joke, JK. Why do I feel that you will regret this? Stop it before the burden gets too much that you can't carry it." With that, Namjoon left the room with unconscious Taehyung in his arms.
"I'm sorry. Hyung is sorry for not protecting you. I broke my promise before it even got said properly." Namjoon took the limp body of Taehyung to the single bed room and closed the door, and placed the younger's body slowly on the bed.
He then turned to one corner of the room and fished out his handkerchief and looked at the camera "Good Night," he said grinding his teeth.
"What the... ahhh Come on. Not you also. What is it so special in that boy that everyone is just keep flowing towards him." Jungkook huffed and went back to the bed.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_
"Hello, Baby Brother" Jimin chirped happily as usual right after picking the call.
"Come on, Hyung. Stop calling me that. What would people think if they see you calling this to the biggest mafia of Korea? You are ruining my reputation." The boy said in quite a frustrated yet playful tone.
"Aww... come on, I know you like it, Kook. So how come you contacted me on your own? Are you alright? I mean, got any head injury that resulted in this call or any reaction of some drug... or are you drunk?" Jungkook just rolled his eyes at his brother's childish behavior.
"Ok cut it out... I call you often, okay, and it should be me who should be angry with you. You have been gone for like 1 and a half months, but you didn't even think to call me. What if I needed you?" Jungkook heard Jimin chuckle on the other side and huffed.
"People are needing me a lot nowadays. Hope everything is alright." Jimin said in a bright tone.
"Meaning?" Confused Jungkook.
"Nothing. On a serious note, is everything alright, Kook? Wanna share something." Jimin said in deep serious tone completely contradictory to the tone a few seconds earlier.
"I got my hands on him, hyung. I got what I wanted. Come back soon; we have revenge to take." Jungkook said in a devilish tone with a sinister smirk.
"Well, that news is worth calling. I'll be back by the end of next week. See you soon, baby bro." Jimin being the same psycho as JK.
"I'll be waiting. See you soon, big bro." Jungkook said and cut the call while smiling.
He took a shower and changed his clothes. After that, he opened his laptop with a hope to see the younger. Deep in his heart, he has the desire to make sure that the younger is okay. He wanted to see him, but the camera of the room was still covered.
He tried to get his mind off of the younger, but it was nearly impossible for him. He closed his laptop and took the book to read, but his mind was just recalling the scene he witnessed earlier, and only one thing was moving in his mind.
"Do whatever you want with me, Master. I'm your property."
