Heart Carver

My Property

"Well I guess hearts do change," Taehyung sang as he popped a piece of toast in his mouth.

Bangtan stared at him. All eyes were on him.

"W-what?" he asked, taken aback.

"You seem to be in a good mood today," Jimin said softly as he bit into a strawberry, its pink juice prominent on his plump lips.

"It's good to see  that atleast someone is in a good mood," Yoongi spoke as he sat down for breakfast.

Bangtan were seated across the long table. Only the head chair remained empty. Jin's chair. He had not showed up for breakfast and neither had he come down for dinner the night before.

"Hearts do change?" Jungkook asked while raising an eyebrow and silence fell as everyone looked towards Taehyung to hear his new interest.

"Ah Jungkook. You have me cornered," said Taehyung. "What else can I do now but confess?"

Namjoon rolled his eyes at Taehyung's  words.

"Ah well since I seem to have piqued your interests, I therefore tell you beforehand that the head chair shall remain empty this meal too. Infact, if I was to propose a theory then I would see that it shall remain empty from now onwards," Taehyung said, still focusing on his breakfast.

Suddenly no one seemed hungry anymore. Taehyung had their complete attention and they wanted to know exactly what he was talking about.

"Shall remain empty?" Suga asked as he raised an eyebrow.

"Mmmh. The head chair. Jin's chair. No Jin. Chair empty. Probably forever more."

"I dont understand," Namjoon said. "Did something happen to him? Is he alright?"

Taehyung smiled.

"Love is a bitch isn't it?"
-------------------------------------------------------------
Jin knocked. In a few seconds she opened the door.

Her hair were messed up but in a pretty way. Her eyes were half closed and her state pretty much explained that she had just woken up.

"Get dressed. You have 5 minutes."

Lisa rushed and wore the first thing she could get her hands on. A plane white shirt and black tights.

She combed her hair in a hurry and got out. Jin started walking and she knew she had to follow.

He paused in front of his room and turned towards her.

"Get in."

Lisa didn't question him or think twice before entering. Even if he was going to beat her half to death, her disobedience would make it worse.

Jin entered behind her and closed the door.

"You think you can disobey and do as you please when I'm drunk?" he asked quietly.

Lisa shook her head. She had no idea how to answer this specific question.

"How naive of you to-no. How overconfident you were to think that I'm always drunk."

"I-I'm sorry," she said, tears had already started to form in her eyes.
"I won't do it again. I-I meant no harm."

"Why did you come out of your room when I told you not to? You, out of all people know what I can do. You still came. Why?"

Lisa sighed. "You.. .you're-uh I-I'm sorry I ca-"

"Answer me Lisa. And truthfully."

"I- I don't know. You.. . you're human. Only I didn't know that at first. Or maybe I didn't want to see it. Either way you.. . you needed help. I wasn't thinking. Whatever it is that happened to you, you must have never asked for it."

"No one asks for pain. Yet all receive it at some point in life. That's not a solid answer. What were you thinking?"

"I didn't think. I couldn't. There was someone who needed my help and I.. . I couldn't stop and think whether or not to help. I couldn't. Jin you.. . you're human. I couldn't see it at first. No. I didn't want to see it. You're like any other human Jin. You're in pain."

Jin was at loss of words as he looked at her.

"I'm.. . human?" he asked as though he, himself could not beleive it.

It was something his heart had yearned to hear. For years now. But no one told him that. Ever.

"You're a worthless rat Jin. Once I'm done with you, you'll be a killing machine. But right now you're just.. . you're nothing."

Jin's head ached. The memories. They were like a flowing river. Temporarily it may seem that it has stopped flowing because one blocks their path. But the river will just take another direction. The river kept flowing. His memories kept coming back. Every time, in a different way.

"Lisa.. . why do you do this?"

"Hyung!" The door flung open and in rushed Jimin, followed by Yoongi and Namjoon and the rest of Bangtan with Taehyung at the end.

"J-Jimin? What are you doing here? W-what's wrong?" Jin asked, trying to keep his voice stable though his head throbbed in pain.

"Hyung what's wrong with you? Are you alright? You.. . what's wrong with your head hyung?" Jungkook asked as he saw Jin flinch a bit in pain and his hand had travelled to his head to massage it.

Jin let his hand fall to his side. He looked a bit weaker than before, Bangtan had noticed. Paler. More stressed. He was tired. But why?

"H-hyung did she.. . hurt you or something?" Hoseok asked looking at Lisa suspiciously.

"Probably just messed up his heart nothing more," Taehyung said from the back of the pack.

Once again, he had successfully gained the attention of the entire group by just throwing out a few words.

Jin raised an eyebrow. "Messed up my heart?"

"Um.. .yeah. Pretty much. I mean- shit Jin you look more paler than you did when daddy-"

"Shut up!" Jin growled and ran to pin Taehyung against the wall. Taehyung's head hit the hard wall with a thud. A second of silence fell mixed with Jimin's sudden sigh.

"Say it again and I'll-"

"I'll what huh? Kill me? pfft well. What are you waiting for?" Taehyung said, a grin plastered across his face.

"Jin stop I-" but Jungkook stopped Jimin from  completing his sentence by holding his back.

"See how he's gonna kill me now Lisa? He's gonna do the same to you sweetheart," Taehyung said as he looked at her.

"Don't you talk to her. She's mine to deal with. My property," Jin yelled as he hit his head to the wall again.

"Ah-" Taehyung moaned. "Then why don't you strip down your pretty property so we can all see what you wrote and where we can touch," Taehyung said, his head spinning in pain.

Jin took a hold of his throat and started to choke him. Bangtan knew better not to interfere. Jimin tried to break free of Jungkook's grip but he held onto his waist. Hoseok who wanted to prevent a death stopped dead in his tracks as Yoongi's grip on his wrist tightened.

"I'm gonna tell you," Jin said as his grip tightened round his throat. "Tell you what it means to die a painful death."

Taehyung was out of breath. His throat hurt. He would die in a few moments only.

"Jin stop it now! Please!!"

Jin's grip on Taehyung loosened. All eyes were on Lisa now.
