Jiae gets her own room in Jackie's house, taking over the older woman's dining room.

"We can eat in the living room,"
Jackie had said when Jimin had weakly protested.
 And so Jiae has her own room.

Two weeks pass and Jimin visits his sister every day. He is back at work and stays with Jungkook and Yoongi more often than he stays at the campus. 

There has been no news about Jimin's father's whereabouts. The trap with Jimin's phone didn't work and it almost feels like he vanished from the face of eath.

It's saturday when Jungkook and Jimin are at the mall. They are on a lazy sort of date, just walking through the stores with their hands intertwined and eating junk food.

"What about this?"

Jimin looks up to Jungkook, the other male walking out of the changing room in a different shirt, one with buttons that the raven haired man haven't bothered to button all the way up.

"Too sexy,"
Jimin huffs with a small smile,
"It's a business event, who are you trying to impress?"

Jungkook walks closer to Jimin who is leaning on a wall next to a big mirror and shrugs,
"You."

Jimin pulls the taller closer by the patterned shirt playfully and looks up into his eyes.

"You always impress me,"
he says honestly, raising his eyebrows pointedly.

Jungkook hums, cutely pecking the shorter male's cheek before turning on his heel to go back inside the changing room.

"I'm buying this."

Jimin giggles, going to look at the belts while Jungkook changes.

They get ice cream on their way out after Jimin has bought new pants to wear to the dance class he is joining with Hoseok tomorrow.

"Taehyung just texted that he wants us to come over to the frat house later. Apparently there's gonna be some kind of party,"
Jungkook notifies as they reach his car.

"Sounds fun. We have to stop by Jackie's first, though. I promised to help her with building the changing table that arrived today,"
Jimin says as he gets into the passenger seat while Jungkook puts all their shopping bags in the trunk.

"Yeah, I'll..."

Jimin clicks his tongue as Jungkook closes the door before finishing the sentence, waiting for him to get in the driver's seat.

But then nothing happens for longer than it should and Jimin frowns, turning to see where Jungkook went just in time for the door to the backseat to open, his boyfriend's seemingly lifeless body being shoved face first into the space.

Jimin thinks his heart stops beating, wide eyes trying to take in what's happening.

"Sit still and shut up or you'll join him,"
a voice tells Jimin and the boy snaps his head to his father, frozen in place as the older man slams the door shut and gets behind the wheel, quickly turning the engine on.

The car is immediately filled with the stench of strong alcohol, immobilizing Jimin out of pure muscle memory and fear.

It's silent as the old man speeds down a highway, eventually making a sharp turn onto smaller roads in a forest. The vehicle is moving irrationally fast and they are almost sent out of the asphalt into the woods at certain turns.
