A pure Soul

17.

As they exit the prison they walk past one of their henchman "Hey you, get rid of the mess in the interrogation room!", Jungkook shouts at him without pausing in his movement. "Of course, Sir!", the henchman answers a bit startled.

POV. Jimin

I slowly return from my slumber,  and open my weary eyes, I blink my tiredness away. Numbness has overtaken my whole body and I wasn't able to move my arms. I tried to push myself up to sit straight but I was forced to stay in place, not by some invisible force as I thought at first but by a muscular arm, hugging me like a stuffed toy and with that also keeping me in place. I was completely stiff as I realised in what vulnerable position I was in. My gaze follows the arm towards it's owners chest and I was reliefed to see that it was covered by a tanktop. My gaze ends upon seeing Jungkook his face, he seemed peaceful and innocent like a little rabbit. His face felt completely misplaced on his ripped body. If I didn't know better I would have thought, just from looking at his face right now, that he is a schoolboy helping in his freetime old ladys by bringing them on the other side of the street! NEVER in my dreams would I look at this peaceful face and think 'that is probably a mafia leader'

I carefully shift under his arm, in an attempt to free myself from this awkward position without waking the other and getting struck by the rage of a just awakend mafia boss.

'If I was only able to lift his arm a bit, I could easily slip out of the bed', I thought to myself. 'Great plan but how do I lift his arm without waking him?', an important question pops up inside my head. My eyes scanned the already all so familiar room as if the answer was hidden in this room somewhere.

I let out a small annoyed sigh, I have scanned the room 3 times already but the question in my mind remains unanswered... 'What am I even doing? He is just a human, right? He will notice nothing as long as I am being careful!', I reassured myself. 'Sure he might be the head of a Mafia and he could probably kill me in front of the whole city and get away with it but, he's as vulnerable as anyone else when he is asleep!' I collected all my courage and my hand slowly moves towards his arm laying on top of me and keeping me in place.

"Don't even think about it!", as soon as I touched his arm, his grip tightened around me and I was pressed against his chest, my heart stopped at his sudden remark and I gasped surprised. "I want to stay like this for a while. I haven't slept this good in ages", he says calmly, as he buried his face in my hair. I didn't dare to make any move at all after that. I just stayed in place for what felt like an eternity. 

"Morning Jimin! Breakfast is ready!", a cheerful Jin bursts into the room and stops at the sight of me and Jungkook. "Get your ass out of  Jimin's bed! You are scaring him!", Jin begins to scold Jungkook, who in response growls "Go away Jin!", in a husky voice. "Yah! How are you speaking to your hyung! Get your ass out of this room now or you'll have to do the boring paperwork for the rest of the month!", another growl escaped Jungkook before he leaned on his free arm to look Jin in his face, his other arm still keeping me in place. "I am sorry Hyung, I just wanted to enjoy the most peaceful sleep I ever had a little longer.", he apologized in a sleepy but sweet voice. I was still lying in his embrace and felt awkward being in between their quarrel. "Aish... I am to handsome for this... Now get up and leave Jimin some space!", Jin says annoyed while massages his forehead. "Yes, we know Hyung. See you later Jiminie.", he said while ruffling my hair with his hand up, he stood up and walked past Jin and out of the room to get ready.

I was finally able to sit up and move my body freely. "Thank you.", I thanked my savior quietly. "Don't mention it Jimin. I have made breakfast, get ready and come join us downstairs, when you are ready.", he said with a friendly smile before leaving the room as well. Join them? I guess I I should listen to them... But why do they even want me to join their breakfast... I stood up from the bed and walked towards the bathroom bordering on my room. I stared at my reflection, my face was mostly healed but the big purple ring around my neck and my still with bruises covered arms made my already small and sickly looking body even unhealthier looking. I washed my face and used my hands to fix my messed up hair at least a little bit. I was still wearing the same clothes I wore when my father kicked me out of our house. It isn't because I am unhygienic or anything, I just don't have anything else to wear and I won't make myself even more vulnerable by taking of my clothes and washing them in the sink or something,maybe I could use this fact as an argument to be allowed to leave their mansion earlier... maybe even today. I hoped silently.  

I slowly opened the door to the floor and took a look around, if there was anyone in sight, which wasn't the case. So I started to slowly make my way down the same floor, I run down back when I first woke up here and tried to escape. I quietly walked down the big wooden stairs until I found myself standing once again in the living room I had my first encounter with Hoseok. The enormous wooden door with the golden knob were tempting me to just open it and escape towards freedom, but then again my escape would probably end at the same place it ended last time... In front of the gigantic wall surrounding this place.

"Thinking about escaping again aren't ya? I heard your last attempt ended with a bleeding nose... So how about you just don't even try anything stupid and save us all from the stress."

I hope the chapter was still exceptable.
