Fracture S3 [Taekook]

• Shatter Me •

"Sixteen hours has passed since Namjoon's abduction, and not one spec of information has come from the police." Jimin grumbles as he scrolls through his Instagram while laying on Taehyung's bed.

"I know, and each passing second brings me closer to having a full blown panic attack." Taehyung mutters in reply as he kicks off his shoes and tosses his backpack aside.

Since the incident at the hotel, Chief Kang advised Taehyung and Jimin to stay home for their safety. They have a patrol car stationed outside their apartment building, but even Taehyung knows that won't be enough to ease their worries, let alone stop Jungkook. 

Jin had to work at the hotel today to help with the cleaning, but he did call Taehyung saying he was coming home late, just so Taehyung wouldn't have to worry so much. 

"Taehyung...do you think he's going to come after me next?"

Taehyung looks over to Jimin, his lips crestfallen. Jimin takes a deep breath and sits up, patting the side of the bed for Taehyung to sit. 

"I'm scared Taehyung. I...I don't want him to hurt me again." Jimin whispers as he pulls his knees to his chest, curling himself into a ball. 

Jimin hasn't gotten over the trauma,  Jungkook carved onto his back, nor has he gotten over what Hoseok did to him either.

There are nights where Jimin wakes up screaming from his nightmares, other times he wakes up and runs to the bathroom to vomit out his anxiety.

Taehyung sits beside Jimin and holds him close, feeling just as scared as Jimin. "He won't hurt you." He says, but he is unsure about his own words.

Jungkook is capable of anything at this point.

"He will, and we both know he won't stop until he get's what he really wants." Jimin grabs Taehyung's hand, interlocking them with a firm squeeze. 

Taehyung knows its true, he knows Jungkook is really after him. 

"What if...I let him take me, and in return he'll give back Namjoon." Jimin glares at Taehyung's idiotic idea. 

"That's the dumbest plan I've ever fucking heard." He mutters. "Even if he has you, we both know he won't stop killing. Hoseok has fucked him up to the point of no return." Jimin let's Taehyung's hand go and gets off the bed, stomping over to the window. "It wont work."

"But I can try to convince him Jimin." Taehyung pleads with his boyfriend, wanting him to understand that this plan is meant to keep Jimin safe. "I want him to take me and leave you all alone." Taehyung gets up from the bed and goes over to Jimin, gently embracing him with a back hug. "This is the only way I can make him stop-"

"But he wont stop!" Jimin pushes Taehyung away in a heat of anger. "I've been with a psychopath before Taehyung, I know what they are capable of!" to prove his point,  Jimin takes off his shirt, showing Taehyung the scars Hoseok left on his stomach from his murder attempt. 

"What about me and your brother? Have you thought about how much we'll suffer if that psycho took you?"

Taehyung looks down to the ground, feeling ashamed. "But I want things to get better....I want to have Namjoon back."

"And we will have him back." Jimin holds Taehyung's face in his small hands, tilting it so he can look into Taehyung's puppy dog eyes. "But we are not going to play into Jungkook's game. This is what he wants, for you to suffer enough to give in and hand yourself over." He brushes away a lone tear that slides down Taehyung's cheek. "Don't give in to him."
