Taehyung's POV

"It's just a glimpse, Taehyung. There's still more to tell," Jin said, his voice barely above a whisper.

I was taken aback. "What???" I exclaimed, shocked that he had endured even more hardships.

Jin simply nodded in response.

"Do you want to share it?" I asked gently, careful not to pressure him into revealing more than he was comfortable sharing. I glanced at him, and he looked down at his fingers.

I was about to give him some space, thinking he might need a moment to himself, but just then he grasped my wrist and whispered, "Stay, please."

"I want to share the rest of the story too," he added, patting the empty side of the bed.

I settled in beside him, resting my hand on his shoulder. He didn't pull away, but instead slowly closed his eyes and leaned his head against my chest. I could feel my heart racing due to our close proximity.

As we sat there, Jin began to recount the rest of his painful past...

Few years back

"Namjoon hyung, can I come in?" the 8-year-old boy asked, peeking from the door.

"What do you want now?" Namjoon asked irritably.

"Your picture," the boy replied.

"Why?" Namjoon asked, his irritation growing.

"I'm going to stick it on my family tree," the boy explained.

"I'm not part of this family, so you don't need it," Namjoon said.

"But hyung, I need it," the younger boy said, his eyes welling up with tears.

Before Namjoon could respond, a figure appeared at the door, glaring at him with a slight smirk on his face. Namjoon didn't miss the man's expression.

The man's gaze shifted from Namjoon to the younger boy, who hadn't noticed him standing there.

"Baby Jinnie," the man said, startling the boy.

When the boy saw who it was, a smile spread across his face.

"You scared me, Dada," the boy said.

The man smiled and said, "Seokjin, go to your room. I bought your favorite pastry. Dada has important business with hyung."

"Dada, but what about the picture?" the boy asked.

"Dada will bring it, baby. Go now," the man replied.

The door closed behind the man and Namjoon, leaving them alone in the room.

Namjoon was terrified when he saw the man holding a piece of paper and tearing it to pieces within seconds. Then, the man dragged Namjoon to the bed and took the older's virginity that very day, just because he came out to be a gay. Not only did he lose his virginity but also beaten and was abused horribly. His hole bleeding because of the immense amount of harsh thrusts, without any preparations. No one heard his cries and shouts that day. Neither did his baby brother who was in the very next room. As if he and that man were not present in this world anymore.

But little did Namjoon know that his brother was given sleeping pills in the cake which Seokjin ate delightfully and slowly went in deep slumber. He didn't have any idea, what was going on the next room. And about their mom she was busy in her office, not having any idea what her son's are going through.
