I'LL LET THE WORLD BURN... for you ⋆ym⋆

Prologue

◖

In his unconscious state of mind, his body floats in the void. He sees galaxies and stars encircling his free falling body; at that point a relaxed feeling overpowers all of his sensations and he begins to feel weightless.

His calm composure suddenly took a turn when he felt himself being pulled down. He attempted to free himself from the unknown entity, but to no avail.

He was abruptly drawn from the tranquil darkness into a blazing brightness. Jimin had to close his eyes since the light was so bright. However, this was ineffective because the bright light continued to haunt him.

He felt his surroundings shake, and with a jolt, he regained awareness.

As Jimin recovers from his dizzy state, he gains control of his current situation. He anxiously attempts to open his eyes and see around himself, but something is blocking his eyelids, and he realizes he is blindfolded.

There is utter blackness in front of his eyes, and no matter how hard he tries, the material restricts his motions. So he tries to raise his hand to remove the blindfold, but then he realizes that his hands are tied.

Not only are his hands tied but so are his legs, and he is seated in a very cramped position. He couldn't make out much of his surroundings but he felt like he was sitting on a cold tile floor.
Because of his stiff joints, his body had to have been in this position for quite some time.

Even though he had known it much earlier, he did not want to admit it; he preferred to give it the benefit of the doubt. But there's no space for debate now; he's certain he's been kidnapped.

He believes that most people would be terrified in his situation, but he was unusually calm. Perhaps it was because it wasn't his first time being kidnapped.

" Hey!"
His first word after being silent for a long time comes out raspy, and due to a lack of water, his throat has grown dry and prickly. But Jimin is happy that they did not gag his mouth; this way, he can negotiate with the kidnapper.

" What grudge do you have against my father?" He asks the question to find out the kidnapper's motive. He understood the only cause for his kidnapping was his beloved father.

However, the absence of an answer irritated him slightly.
Jimin knows that if the individual does not speak to him, he will be unable to persuade him. So he chose to keep talking, even if the answer from the other end was cold.

" Since you're going to keep me up here for long I thought we should strike up a conversation instead of being bored."
For a brief moment, Jimin believed he was alone in the house, that his kidnapper had taken him to a filthy old cellar and vanished. The thought made him sweat a little since if that was the case, he'd be powerless to save himself.

But his thoughts came to a halt as he heard a low laugh. It appeared that the man was ridiculing him.

"Are you alone? Or are there others?"
He tried to acquire a sense of how many people he might have to fight on his way to escape, but the other party is adamant on being silent.

" So, what are you going to demand from my father ?"
Jimin decided to question more about the kidnapper's motive because it is what compelled the majority of them to speak.

" Usually it's money or to bail someone out of jail."
These were the most frequent demands, and Jimin had previously been kidnapped for the same reasons.

" Well it could be that my father may have wronged you or someone close to you."
This was the worst case scenario, because Jimin knows the outcome of this one is not so favorable.
