Him/Them || Jeon Jungkook ✓

19: Mentor

Jungkook opened the door to his penthouse. He took his hoodie off and switched on the light, walking towards his painting room.

He opened the door to see a man chained up on the chair, looking weakly at him. Jungkook smirked, scratching his chin from over his mask and approached him with slow steps.

"Let me go, please." He begged Jungkook, tears streaming down his face. Jungkook tilted his head and stood right in front of him.

"We won't."

Jungkook nodded and bent down to fix the chains around him when suddenly the door of the storeroom open, causing Jungkook to widen his eyes, turning his head towards the shocked man looking at the scene in horror.

"Hyung."

Hoseok stood there, stunned at what was happening. He gripped the bunny ear hoodie tightly, bringing it up to his eyes and looked at Jungkook again.

"You. You are." Hoseok fumbled upon his words unable to form words as the man on the chair wept. "Please save me! Please!"

Hoseok glared at Jungkook and walked towards him who stood there, hanging his head low, avoiding eye contact.

"What do you think you're doing, Jeon Jungkook?" He yelled and Jungkook's heart struck with pain when his hung addressed him with his full name. Not Gguk.

"He doesn't love you too."

Jungkook shut his hands, covered his ears, to prevent himself from doing anything to his beloved mentor but Hoseok looked at him in confusion. He slowly went forth to unfasten the chains from the man, releasing him.

The man slowly stood up when Hoseok went towards Jungkook and pulled his arms back, slapping him across his face. "Why did you do this?"

Jungkook sobbed and looked at Hoseok. "I like the way they all scream."

Hoseok was in bewilderment. "What? So you will kill them?" 

"Tell me which one is worse? Living or dying first?" He asked and Hoseok shook his head. He wasn't the Gguk he knew. Right now, he seemed dangerous. "I made you reach your dreams." He whispered, moving backwards.

Hoseok needed to get out of there at once.

"I was sleeping inside a hearse, Hyung. I don't dream." Jungkook mumbled but watched him move back.

"You will have to kill him, Jungkook."

Jungkook held his head and shook it. "No, please. I won't! He's my family."

"So was your dad but he treated you like shit!"

Jungkook cried and opened his eyes. They were bloodshot red but they widened to see his own self taking the knife behind Hoseok and jumping at him. He shook his head and lunged at him.

"No!" Jungkook moved forth, causing Hoseok's eyes to bulge seeing Jungkook jumping in front of him with a knife and his breath hitched.

He looked down to see the knife on his chest. He blinked his eyes and looked up to meet Jungkook's eyes who smiled darkly but instantly changed into shock.

He looked down and saw the blood dripping from his chest, the knife dug deep. His eyes glistened as he looked up to see Hoseok slowly closing his eyes. He pressed his lips together and closed his eyes, retracting his hands and watching Hoseok fall to the ground as he whispered,

"I'm sorry, Hyung. But you brought this on yourself."
