"reese?" jimin echoed, turning his head back to the guy. jungkook nodded in reply.

"all i can tell you is stay away from him as much as possible," jungkook sighed, "i've had some bad experiences with him, and i'm not the only one who has." jimin tensed as he watched the guy, reese, turn back in their direction.

"jungkook," a voice suddenly said. jimin and the other snapped their heads to the side. there stood a man, a lab coat also draped over his shoulders and he had a soft smile strung across his lips.

"dr. lee." jungkook stood up and embraced the other. the man looked to be in his mid-50's, and his face held a few wrinkles. he looked like one who has experienced the world. he looked tired. the two pulled apart.

"it's good to see you boy, come on let's head to the room." dr. lee looked at jimin and smiled. jimin returned the smile and followed the old man through the double doors and into a room marked 10.

he pat his hand on the examination table, signaling for jimin to climb up on it. jimin followed the old mans gesture and pulled himself up onto the table while jungkook sat on the sofa across from him, legs crossed and eyes following the old mans movements.

"so, what can i do for you two?" dr. lee asked the pair. jimin shot a look at jungkook, and he sighed.

"jimin was choked up against the wall by one of the prisoners. now he can't really speak." jungkook explained his situation. dr. lee rose from his seat and looked jimin up and down briefly before resting his eyes on jimin's face.

"ah i see. jaehyun and the others once again eh? okay son, i'm going to touch your throat. raise your hand if it hurts." dr. lee instructed. he began gently pressing in certain places and jimin was fine until he pressed on one specific place. his hand shot up, grabbing the old mans wrist. "okay i see the problem." dr. lee went and sat back down, crossing his arms with a smile. "first, he needs a drink which we can get no problem. then he also needs a medication for it. the only problem is that his throat is bruised, and the medicine we'll give him will help it heal." jungkook nodded as he listened to the old man. he stood to his feet.

"thanks doctor," he said and approached the door, pulling it open with his hand. "without his voice he can't communicate with me easily so i need it." dr. lee laughed and pat his back. jungkook showed a toothy grin at this.

"well i'll go put this information in his file and leave the medicine on the counter. you guys can leave when you're ready." then dr. lee waved at jimin and left the room. jungkook watched the man go before turning back to jimin.

"i'm gonna go get the medicine and some water for you, just sit tight and then we can go back to the cell okay?" jungkook assured him. jimin nodded to him and smiled faintly. he was tired. he just wanted to go back to his cell and sleep. he wasn't afraid to admit that he had actually gotten used to his cell by now, and it even felt a bit homey to him every time he stepped inside.

jimin took a big breath and let it out slowly. he leaned back against the wall and closed his eyes. he just wanted to be alone and talk with jungkook normally. not about prison or in this way that made them seem like prisoner and gaurd, but as a friend.

when all of a sudden he heard the door creak open and the shuffles of feet come towards him. thinking it was jungkook, he tried to talk.

"jungkook?" he croaked. "can we go?" there was silence. his eyes snapped open, and there stood someone who was indeed not jungkook. the person who stood there stepped forward, a plastic smile on his face.

"i'm not jungkook." the man sung. jimin immediately recognized him as reese, the same man he had locked eyes with earlier. the man that jungkook warned him about. "hello, jimin-ah." jimin felt a shiver run down his spine at the use of his name.
