'The beginning' was read on the tapes as Jungkook looked through them with his son in his hold. Not wanting to let go of his boy since he didn't know how much time he had left, and it felt like time was running out as Jungkook felt the virus running through his veins. Being injected and bit was so fucking different. The liquid hit right away but being bit? It was like... slowly taking over Jungkook. Just like how it was affecting Jimin who was in the isolation room, trying his best not to give in to the virus running through his veins. "Mr. Kim and I will be starting our project today with subject one. We'll inject the rat with a slow approach." She spoke through the recorder. "What's happening?" Was heard before she screamed. "Why is it doing that?!"

That was all Jungkook heard before her voice came through again. "Subject one, dead. Assuming it was too much for the subject. We'll be back with a different approach." And the more Jungkook searched through the papers and recorders, Jungkook started to piece things together and this was what he found out. His mother started this long before Jungkook was around. Injecting rats at first before she moved on to other animals, cats, dogs, and hamsters. Anything she could get her hands on and the experiments lasted much longer. "Experiment seven hundred and ten." She spoke through the recorder. Going through the process as she watched.

Experiment hundred and ten was a success. Which meant they could move on to their real test subjects, which were humans and Jungkook found out that he wasn't the only victim. Hell Jungkook wasn't even the twentieth victim, he was subject one thousand. That included all the animals and humans his mother experimented with. Jungkook was only experiment twenty because he was the twentieth kid that they experimented on. The liquid was poison basically, to end a life but eventually along the way it became more than that. Jungkook's mother wanted more. She wanted to bring back the dead, and have them under her control and she got that. With Jungkook she had that.

Jungkook learned that... he was taken from his biological parents. Every single kid that went under this experiment was taken. So many names were on the papers, so many kids... kids that were younger than him. It broke Jungkook's heart as he looked at all the stuff on the table. Everything belonged to his mother. As for Jungkook's father? Or well, so-called father?... he was dead too. Which explains a lot 'your father is working late' or the million excuses his 'mother' made when Jungkook started questioning where his father was. Turns out she killed him too. She was evil like the devil's spawn and... Jungkook was her toy.

"You did it?" Namjoon looked at Seokjin who sat by Taehyung with blood soaked into his clothes and blood covering his hands. "... I did it." Seokjin finally let out a ragged sigh before he was up and running towards the nearest garbage and letting out all the food he had that day. "He'll be okay?!" Namjoon asked worriedly as Seokjin wiped his lips and shrugged but nodded at the same time. "I... I don't know? I clos-closed him up. I'll clean him up now but we won't know until he wakes up." Seokjin said while walking towards Taehyung but Namjoon stopped Seokjin. "You did a lot today, let me clean him up okay? Go have some rest, get some water."

Nodding slowly while looking at Taehyung, Seokjin gulped. "... Check his pulse every few minutes will you?" Was his last words as he walked away. All while Jimin sat in the isolation room with Yoongi who was tending to Jimin. Even wrapping up the bite as Jimin tried to fight against the virus within him but how could he fight it when he knew in the end, he wasn't going to win this fight. The flashes of blood and skin, him as the dead. It made Jimin want to cry and scream for someone to help him but he just sat there, looking at Yoongi with all the love in the world. ".... Tell Taehyung I'm proud of him." Jimin suddenly spoke up which made Yoongi look up and raise an eyebrow. "You tell him that yourself."

"How? As the dead? All I'll be doing is moaning and groaning. You think I'll be one of the fast or slow ones?" Jimin tried to lighten the mood even if it was sick how he had to do so. "Can you not Jimin? I-.. I don't want to think about how you're going to be dead within hours. I don't need to imagine if you're going to be slow or fast. I want to imagine you alive, so stop okay?" Yoongi begged Jimin who gulped. Shakingly breathing in, Jimin brought Yoongi close and held the boy. "Okay." Jimin breathed out and held Yoongi tightly. Not ever wanting to let the boy go and he wouldn't, not until his very last breath. 

The more Jungkook read the more information started to unfold. Jungkook found out every single thing that was going on behind these doors. The experiment, and the drugs they used. The names on the paper. Everything just started to make sense in Jungkook's life. The blackouts, the lack of memories he had. Why Jungkook always felt so different... was because he is different. "I started this," Jungkook said to himself as he gulped down the lump in his throat. In all honesty? Jungkook didn't know what to think. It all felt like a nightmare at this point and all Jungkook wanted to do was wake up but he had to realize that he was awake, but the nightmare was real and he was living in it.

Hearing a small whine, Jungkook looked at his son that was looking around the room. The curiosity and confusion were well known in his sons' eyes as Jungkook smiled down at him. Although Jungkook wanted to end this nightmare of a life, that little boy, his own baby boy made Jungkook want to live more than anything... but Jungkook found that selfish. If Jungkook was to live, so would the dead. Jungkook was the root of this problem and if only Jungkook had given up sooner, the world would have been saved from this mess Jungkook put them in. Or so that's what Jungkook thought. "What am I supposed to do?" Jungkook asked quietly as he watched his baby boy's fingers wrap around his pointer finger.

Almost like electricity, Jungkook felt a pang in his heart that made him stop breathing for a moment... but it wasn't only Jungkook that felt this pain but Jimin too. "Are you okay?!" Yoongi grabbed Jimin's hand and as Yoongi did so, Jimin could feel himself changing by the second. The flesh, the blood... god he felt hungry. The faint heartbeat coming from Yoongi was getting louder by the second. It felt like Jimin was on fire at this point trying to stop himself from changing and suddenly- it stopped. All the pain and flashes as Jimin gasped for a deep breath. "... Your arm." Yoongi suddenly pointed out as he slowly took off the jacket Jimin was wearing to find the infection now growing towards Jimin's collarbone.

The infection was taking its course now and at this point? Jimin was over it. All the flashes and pain were enough and Jimin just wanted it to be over. All the while Jungkook held onto his baby, trying his best not to topple over the floor as he gasped for a breath that wouldn't come out. Then a recorder started to play as Jungkook struggled for his breath. Instead of hearing his mother, his 'father' spoke into the recorder. "Date is March 6th, 2020." He whispered, "As subject one thousan-.... Jeon Jungkook is showing negative symptoms to the doses, I'm testing for a cure." Another whisper came through like he was doing this in secret. And just like that, Jungkook was able to breathe as his son let go of Jungkook's finger.

"Jungkook bit me three days ago and I've been observing the infection." Came out which caught Jungkook off guard. The boy was basically winded out but that information really caught Jungkook off guard. "With the liquid we use for Jungkook, I combine it with normal human blood. Type B cells were too aggressive and died almost instantly as the infection came in contact while O negative and positive gave up somewhat of a fight but the only blood that neutralized the infection was AB." Though there was a twist... Jungkook's father mentioned he used normal human blood to neutralize it but... "So now I'm using the infected AB blood."

"One, two..." And that was all Jungkook got as the recorder went silent. "March 6th..." Jungkook whispered as he remembered back to that month. Jungkook was pretty ill that whole year but it was worse in the beginning. Having so many blackouts, so many days he couldn't even remember and that's why his father was wanting to make this cure. That's why Jungkook never saw his father after that. It was him, Jungkook killed his father... or so-called father- ... so it all came back to Jungkook.
