THE DARKEST HOPE
Chapter 1
A lifetime on the streets of the filthy town was more than enough for Jungkook. Hunger cold and misery were everyday companions of his as well as the constant feelings of hopelessness and despair, growing strongly inside him, leaving his soul scarred and damaged, just like the hard and cruel life he was living had scarred his body.
The boy just turned 18, not knowing where he came from nor anything about his past. His first childhood memory was when he was about 4 or 5 years old and fighting with a stray dog for a piece of bread. Nothing before that and mainly bad memories after.
Yeah, life on the street was rough but he felt it as a much heavier burden the last few years, since people were more sympathetic with a small child rather than a grown man and as he grew older he had to think of new ways to find food and shelter than just begging or look cute and sad.
On the other hand such way of living taught many different lessons to those smart enough and willing to learn. And Jungkook was definitely one of those. He mastered many different crafts such as gambling, pick pocketing, singing and dancing for money on the streets and many other abilities, useful for the survival of a homeless boy alone.
He also had grown rather tall and strong over the years many street gangs recently had started to look at him as a possible new recruit for their criminal groups. Jungkook avoided them as much as possible for the time being because joining one of these groups meant to be a part of much more serious crimes than just some small thefts for food, it was about drug dealings, large scale robberies and even murder. He new he had to stay away from that but he also knew that it was only a matter of time before hunger and misery prevail and he gives into real crime in order to survive.
Recently he was quite hungry for he failed to find food several days and his thoughts were galloping between the questions how to fill his empty stomach and in what way he could ensure his survival in general. At the moment there were no answers to any of these questions.
Jungkook was sitting on the cold ground in a back alley just next to the city market, lost in the gloomy thoughts about the not so bright future ahead of him, not really paying attention to what was going on around him. So he failed to notice the black car with darkened windows moving slowly down the alley not until it stopped right next to him. The window was slowly lowered down and the face of a young man appeared in the frame.
"Hey, boy, what's your name?" Asked the silver haired man.
"Who wants to know?" Jungkook was bold and defensive as always. For all he knew rich bastards such as this one had to be avoided as a rule.
"My name is Park Jimin. Just want to talk to you."
"Yeah, what about?"
"You see, I am a doctor and I am currently doing some very important research, so I really need one young person as yourself to help me keep the house clean and cook from time to time, if you are interested. Nothing dangerous, I promise. You can live with me, there is a lot of space, plus I'll pay you."
"Not interested, you pervert, I know about people like you, you can't fool me."
"I promise you, It's not like that, I am just a scientist who needs privacy"
Jungkook looked at the face before him, the man was young, probably just a few years older than him. He was dressed wealthy and was quite handsome. Could not read his expression, going with him was a pure gamble.

Jungkook could not decide which was worse, starve on the street or go in the car of a possibly dangerous stranger who so suspuciously approached him. He was sitting silently, staring, the other man obviously had decided to give him time to think.
"Well, with that way of life I am not going to make it much longer anyway" he thought as he was raising from the ground. Approacged hesitantly the car, opened the door and sat inside. Every move he did seemed unreal like he was watching himself from a distance. "What is done is done" he said to himself.
"My name is Jungkook. Did you said you were a doctor?" He asked.
