it had been two whole days since jungkook left jimin behind. since then jimin had slept almost the whole time and when he woke up there was always some food next to him. but he was never conscious when whoever brought the food came in.

at least he wasn't starving but he was really sick of the basement. he didn't even know for how long in general he had been kept in there. he got a headache from staring at the grey concrete walls.

at least he had a bathroom, though without a door. the toilet lit was dirty and the only attractive thing in there was the big and somehow clean mirror. jimin leaned over the sink and looked at himself. he had eye bangs which made it seem like he didn't sleep for weeks. his face was dirty and his hair tangled up.

jimin sighed and tried for the thousandth time to get any running water out of the tap but he gave up frustrated and desperate. he felt dirty and unhygienic. all he longed for right now was a long and hot shower. the light bulb flickered slightly and made jimin look up.

even the ceiling was dirty and a huge crack ran from one corner to the other. the one corner was wet and mouldy. jimin was disgusted and quickly left the bathroom. the only thing that was functioning in there was the toilet. he could be lucky not having to go to toilet on a pot or something like that.

the basement door opened loudly and was slammed closed right after. jimin twitched and turned his head towards the noise. jungkook was standing right in front of him.

"missed me?"

jimin was too stunned to speak. jungkook was grinning and looking down on him sitting on the floor.

"jeez you reek," jungkook took one step back from jimin and coughed.

"what do you expect when i don't even have a shower and running water," jimin murmured more to himself.

jungkook grabbed his hair and pulled harshly.

"you still don't have any manners i see," he said quietly.

jimin's face twitched from pain and he grabbed jungkooks shirt.

"how about letting me take a shower if you don't like the smell," he said with clenched teeth.

they stared at each other, none of them wanting to give in.

"fine," jungkook finally sighed and let go of jimin's hair, "come with me."

jimin grinned innerly and stood up.

"ahh my bottom still hurts," he pouted and pretended to be in sudden pain.

jimin didn't know why but all he wanted right now was to stay with jungkook.

jungkook raised an eyebrow, "so you want me to do what exactly now?"

jimin sighed and sat down on the ground again.

"if someone carried me it would be so much easier..."

jungkook laughed and came closer and leaned down to jimin.

"so you're a little princess huh."

his voice was suddenly deep and hoarse. it made a shiver run down jimin's spine. jungkook sounded so damn sexy right now.

"yes."

jungkook grinned and picked jimin up in bridal style.

"let's give the princess a bath then, shall we?"

he carried jimin up the stairs and to the first floor. it was a nice apartment, clean, bright and modern. no one else was there and jimin wondered where the other guys were with whom jungkook had robbed the bank. if he had counted right there were six of them, including jungkook.
