Paradise Lost (Season One)

Chapter Eight: Heart and Soul.

"Jin...Jin...wake up..."

Seokjin's face scrunched up as the familiar voice filled up his head. Letting his head fall to the side as he forced his heavy lids open. His blurred vision slowly clearing as he found himself starting at the small swell of a belly. Seokjin blinked slowly before his eyes widened and he looked up and was met with the warm expression across Jimin's pretty face.

"Hello." Jimin said with a soft chuckle. "Finally, you are awake." Seokjin shifted slowly

to sit up, placing a hand against the side of his head. His head was pounding but he realized that he'd been resting it in Jimin's lap.

"...what happened? Where are we?" Seokjin asked, looking around the room through

squinted eyes. It was small and cold. Seokjin's head lifted to catch sight of some small windows at the edges of the ceiling. Neither of them could reach, let alone fit through. The tendrils of sunlight that peeked through the only source of light. Seokjin looked down and realized they were sitting on the floor. A dirty floor. He tch at the thought of Jimin being in such conditions. He was pregnant for God's sake.

"You don't remember?" Jimin asked as he glanced up towards the window. Seokjin shook

his head, lowering the hand on his head to his chin as he tilted his head in thought.

"I remember the car chase...they managed to blow out our tires and pin us against a wall."

Seokjin said as he closed his eyes. Jimin lowered his eyes as he kept his gaze on the window.

"We tried to run but they caught us...you got knocked out trying to protect me. They took

our phones and wallets...and threw us in here." Jimin said as Seokjin cursed, raising his hand and biting the edge of his thumb.

"I'm...sorry..." Seokjin said. Feeling guilty that he wasn't strong enough to properly

protect Jimin like Taehyung or Hoseok. Seokjin's eyes widened when he felt a hand against his cheek and he looked to the side, seeing Jimin sitting beside him with a warm smile on his lips. Seokjin felt as Jimin gently rubbed his cheek.

"Thank you for protecting me Jin." Jimin said as Seokjin's eyes widened slowly, a dusting

of red spread across his cheeks before he looked down shyly.

"Always." Seokjin said softly and Jimin leaned forward, placing a soft kiss against

Seokjin's forehead. It had such a calming effect that Seokjin felt his body physically relax and breathing became easier.

"Such a good boy." Jimin said as he pulled back and sat on his folded legs, looking around

the room as Seokjin peeked at Jimin from the corner of his vision. Seokjin felt a very strong urge to protect Jimin. Jimin was so gentle and caring. Despite this lifestyle, there was something different about Jimin. Seokjin could understand why Jimin was so important to someone like Jungkook. Jimin had a gift of making you feel human. Like your existence mattered and everything would be okay no matter what.

Jimin was the heart of the Jeon family. The perfect partner for Jungkook who was the

strong and unshakable soul. Seokjin turned his gaze forward, he had to get Jimin out of here.

"We need to escape." Seokjin said as Jimin glanced at him and gave a small nod.

"Mm." Jimin said as he slowly shifted to stand, dusting himself off and then holding his
