Minchan: Fighting The Storms With You

51

Jungkook stood up abruptly, the movement so sudden that it sent a jolt of fear through Lino's body. His heart pounded in his chest as he watched Jungkook, the intensity in his eyes making Lino shrink back. Jungkook's voice was cold and detached as he called out to the maids, instructing them to leave for the day. The house emptied quickly, leaving an eerie silence in its wake.

Before Lino could even process what was happening, Jungkook's hand wrapped around his wrist with an iron grip. "Jungkook... what are you doing?" Lino's voice trembled as he tried to pull away, but Jungkook was much stronger. He dragged Lino through the hallways and up the stairs, each step amplifying the dread that filled Lino's heart.

"Jungkook, please... let go," Lino begged, his voice cracking. But Jungkook didn't respond, his expression set in a hard line. He pushed open the door to their bedroom and practically tossed Lino onto the bed. The force of it made Lino's breath catch, his body trembling as he tried to scramble away.

But before he could, Jungkook was on him, his hands pressing Lino down, his lips crashing against Lino's in a desperate, possessive kiss. Lino turned his head to the side, trying to escape the kiss, but Jungkook followed, not letting him go. Lino's struggles grew more frantic as Jungkook's hands roamed over his body, touching him in ways that made Lino's skin crawl.

"Stop... please, Jungkook, stop!" Lino's voice was a muffled whimper against Jungkook's lips, his hands pushing weakly at Jungkook's chest. But Jungkook wasn't listening, his mind clouded by a mix of anger, pain, and the overwhelming need to reclaim what he felt was slipping away.

As Jungkook's hands continued to explore, Lino froze. A wave of terror washed over him as memories of his father's abuse came rushing back, vivid and suffocating. His body went limp under Jungkook's touch, tears streaming down his cheeks as he stared blankly at the ceiling, his mind retreating into a dark, cold place.

Jungkook suddenly stopped, his hands stilling as he noticed the way Lino was trembling beneath him. He looked down and saw the tears on Lino's pale face, the absolute fear in his eyes. His own tears began to fall, his heart breaking at the sight. "Why? Why can't you love me?" Jungkook's voice was barely a whisper, choked with sobs as he searched Lino's eyes for an answer.

Lino's heart shattered at the sound of Jungkook's broken voice. He sat up slowly, his hands reaching for Jungkook's face, desperate to make things right. "I do love you, Jungkook. I do. Please, believe me," Lino whispered, trying to kiss him, but Jungkook pulled away, shaking his head.

"No, no, no! You don't!" Jungkook yelled, his voice filled with anguish. He stood up abruptly, grabbing Lino's wrist once more and dragging him to the door. "Jungkook, please... don't do this," Lino pleaded, his voice raw from crying, but Jungkook didn't stop. He opened the door and shoved Lino out, slamming it shut behind him.

Lino pounded on the door, his fists hitting the wood as sobs wracked his body. "Jungkook, please! Let me in! Please! I love you... I love you, I swear!" Lino's voice cracked as he continued to plead, his hands growing weaker with each desperate knock.

On the other side of the door, Jungkook slid down to the floor, tears streaming down his face as he pressed his forehead against the door. The sound of Lino's cries broke him even more, but he couldn't bring himself to open the door, not yet.

Eventually, Lino's knocks slowed, then stopped altogether. The silence was deafening. After what felt like hours, Jungkook opened the door and found Lino sitting against the wall, his eyes swollen and red from crying. Without a word, Jungkook lifted Lino into his arms, carrying him back to the bed.

Lino didn't resist; he was too exhausted, too broken. Jungkook laid him down gently and climbed in beside him, wrapping his arms around Lino's trembling body. Neither of them said a word as they held onto each other, their tears mingling as they fell into a restless sleep, the weight of the night pressing heavily on their hearts.

The next morning Lino woke up alone. He looked around to find Jungkook. But a letter grabbed his attention. It was from Jungkook.

Tears started streaming down his cheeks.
