Desperate Dreams

Chapter 24(New)

Flashback continued
After ordering the guards and telling them what exactly was supposed to be done, Jin left for his room, apparently to manipulate Jungkook.

Namjoon on the other side was having a really hard time bearing the heavy weight. The weight seemed to crash down upon him more than the harsh reality of his hyung.
It was the same guards who had touched him badly the other day during his punishment, and that was just adding up more to his pain and fear. Namjoon couldn't even tell anyone to stop the punishment or about how much it hurts, as there was no one to listen to. And the guards who were there would just make fun of him.
He wanted Jin to be at least in the same room as him so that his hyung would save him from the dirty gazes of the guards, despite all this he still felt a sense of comfort and protection with Jin.

"Pl-please leave me... I-it really hurts s-so bad..." sobbed Namjoon, not being able to move his body by his will. Though he knew saying anything was just a waste of energy. By each passing minute he could feel the chain digging further onto his naked back, and leave its imprint. The spikes coming out of the chain were just hurting him further.

"AHHH STOP!" Namjoon started wiggling in the constraints of rope this time, a futile attempt to save himself. Though that just hurt him further as now the stretch from the rope was peeling his skin to blue and red.

"Goshh, quite  him down. I am calling boss." spoke one of the guards, hearing this Namjoon felt a little better as he really wanted Jin to be here but only for his hopes to crush down as he heard the conversation of the guard with his 'hyung'

"Sir, he is thrashing a lot. What should we do?" asked the guard as Namjoon's face paled. Jin would surely ask them to do something which would increase his pain further. He really wanted to slap himself for his stupidity at this moment.

Jin said something which Namjoon couldn't hear.
Soon the guards came back with some more weight, and attached it to the book dangling over Namjoon's weight.
The sudden pull downwards made Namjoon arch his back, as now the position hurt him even more. His hands and legs were hanging up tight in the air while his back dipped down due to the extreme weight.
It was almost 25kg of weight now that he was carrying.
Though he had lifted way more than in the gym, but right now all of that weight was on his back, with the support of a metal chain with a lot of spikes.

Once the three painful hours were over, Namjoon was glad that at least he wasn't assaulted by the guards again like the last  time. But the pain in his back was really something, he still felt as if the weight were there upon him.
The guards were kind enough to offer him some water after the punishment and then he departed to Jungkook's room, desperately wanting to know what Jin told Jungkook against him. At this point he couldn't bear Jungkook's hate too.

Flashback end!

Hearing all this Jungkook was too stunned to speak as he just looked at Namjoon with teary eyes and mouth open wide, the same hyung he was blaming for jealousy took this much pain for him, just so he could attend that stupid tournament.

He felt guilty, angry, frustrated, hopeless and a lot of other things.
How could he let Jin's love drive his actions and go as far as hitting his hyung.

Too overwhelmed by everything that happened within a day for the little boy, Jungkook held his face in his hands and started sobbing, " M-me and Jin hyung are the worst brothers, right? So-sorry you had to g-get brothers like u-us..." said Jungkook as his body shook terribly.

Namjoon's heart came to his stomach hearing his brother's words.
How could Jungkook even think like that, he couldn't even imagine his life without any of them, infact without any of his brother he loved all of them to the moon and back.

Namjoon slowly pulled Jungkook to his embrace, careful to not overwhelm him further and for good two minutes just hugged him tightly, rubbing his back all along.
Though he was the one desperately in need of a hug, but if not him he could attend least have his brother feel that sense of protection.
Give what you can't receive, right?

Namjoon then pulled out of the hug and cupped Jungkook's face.
"Baby will you listen to Hyung, hmm?" softly asked Namjoon while Jungkook nodded in response.

"You are the best brother in the world, I am so damn proud to have a brother like you... You don't even have any idea of what would have happened to me if you weren't there... S-so pl-please never say that you are a bad brother... You are hyung's whole world bubba..." said Namjoon sincerely as a few drops of tears trickled down his face.
Taking a deep sigh he again continued, "And baby, doesn't matter what happens we have to believe in hyung... He had done so much for us that we can't even imagine so it's also our duty to help him cope with his frustration right? If he gets peace by hurting me, then let it be. But never question Hyung again like that okay, you both all everything one could ever ask for, hmm?
Jungkook nodded in understanding, and they both dozed off in content.

Time skip

Jin was sitting on the couch, his head hanging outside and his eyes closed in tiredness. When he felt two hands close to his neck.
He really wasn't attentive right now and flinched really bad to the sudden touch.
"Ahhh" gasped Jin as his one hand instinctively flew to his neck and the other over his heart to calm down his racing heart.

Jin then looked back to find Namjoon, standing there awakardly, his hands still in the air.
