His Shadow

Chapter 45

'Remember her? Meet me at Xxxx in 4 hours. If you tell a single person, forget ever seeing this face again.'

"Did you have your dinner prince?" Jimin's voice broke through Jungkook's thoughts.

He hurriedly turned off his phone as he looked up at Jimin while trying not to yell at his situation and give away his turmoil.

Just a few hours ago he had been kidnapped and kept captive in his own palace and now this.

He had no idea what to do about the text message and the picture that just arrived on his phone. He had only just picked up his phone that Taehyung left and the first thing he saw was the message. What do they want from him now?!

He looked up at Jimin and his eyes widened when he realised he had still not answered Jimin.

He nodded without a word to which Jimin gave him a small smile. His eyes dropped to his arms and then to his legs, all of which were covered with bandages.

Jimin sighed and tried to get close to Jungkook but a sudden fear made him stop in his tracks.

He looked around the room and sighed in relief when he saw that the reason for his fear wasn't present at the moment.

He walked over and sat down beside Jungkook's bed on a chair but still kept his distance.

He looked up at Jungkook and winced when he saw that the prince was avoiding his eyes.

He looked pretty shaken and that made Jimin's heart tug. Jimin wished he could do something to make the prince feel better. The prince hadn't even finished his food, he had not even half of it.

He tried to hold Jungkook's hand but as soon as he touched it, Jungkook flinched and looked up at him with wide eyes as if he didn't expect it.

"Am so sorry." Jimin was quick to apologize to which Jungkook just shook his head and tapped the back of his hand once before pulling his hand back.

"How long is this gonna take!?" A voice exclaimed from behind them and Jimin turned around to see Daniel walking inside the medical room they currently were.

He was covered in soot and other unrecognisable things from head to toe.

Jimin huffed watching as Daniel walked towards where the washroom was to wash up while grumbling about something.

Yoongi and Daniel were in charge of putting the fire out, it took them hours long of hard work and help from some workers and some firefighters but they were able to get it contained anyway.

However, there was still a lot of cleaning up to do considering a few hundred people had just melted there.

After what had happened no one could even dare look into Taehyung's eyes. As if just looking into those eyes would mean selling their soul away.

They couldn't get over the fact that the man burned hundreds of people alive without a flinch. There was a sick glint in his eyes as he did that as if he enjoyed watching the flames envelop everyone.

No one could even talk to Taehyung after that. The man had simply come back inside the room and sat beside where Jungkook was still sleeping. He didn't care that the fire could actually burn them all if not taken care of quickly.
