Crazy Baby

Chapter 13; Kim Namjoon

What a delicious turnout. I don't even have to hurt the other boy. Jin seems to have that covered. Smirking to myself, I clean up the mess from the basement and make my way upstairs to take a shower.
Checking on the boys, I see Jin snuggled around Jimin, both sleeping peacefully. It's been a long, eventful, night. It's true, I plan to use Jimin as an experiment for my little patient. What else could one expect from me? I'm a heartless son of a bitch that enjoys causing other's pain.
       I'm just now scratching the surface of Jin's psych and need to see how deeply this goes, how deeply buried is his sadistic side. It's more than obvious that the trauma caused to him as a child from his parents severely fucked him up.
        His parents' death was deemed an accident but I bet if I dig into those reports I'll find Jin responsible. How could they pin it on an innocent ten year old boy, though? They couldn't so they locked him up in a psych ward. Perfect sense.
       I want to see what he can do. What makes him tick. It's clear he has daddy issues. Needing approval and support. Needing me to be proud. A part of him prefers to do bad things, though, and the conflicting voices inside him seem to really hinder his development.
       Is he could act his true age now...if I forced his mental age to develop normally...would he still be somewhat normal or would he just become a deranged psycho-even worse than me. I have control. I sense he would lose that. He's barely teetering on as it is.
       If I forced him to move on from the past...how would this play out? Perhaps he'd try to kill me. He thinks of me as his daddy. Maybe he'd try to reenact that death. Try to end my life. What a pleasant surprise that would be. We could fight as equals. Killer to killer.
        Smiling to myself, I study the small bag of medications I stole from the ward. All of Jin's past medicines to keep him calm, happy, and pliant. I want him to release his inner demons. To be completely honest...I don't think he'd kill Jimin.
        Jimin is his only friend. He needs him. Just like he needs me. I think I'd be a casualty before Jimin would. Sure, I'll enjoy messing with him and making Jin jealous of his friend but truly I only want my little patient. His inner monster calls to mine on a level even I'm not ready to acknowledge yet.
        I...don't think I could kill him. Even though that was my first intention. Use him then get rid of him. I can't now. I want him too much. His mind is just too complex to destroy. I can always just go out and choose another to sate that part of myself but I won't kill him. Even if he tries to kill me.
       I don't think it'll take long for him to lose the pleasantries and fall into who he truly is underneath. Perhaps I should have a contingency plan in place just in case he does manage to end my life. I have to say...I think I'd be proud. I'm not that easy to get rid of or let my guard down.

       "D-daddy?"
       I turn away from making breakfast to see Jin smiling and rubbing his eyes. I let them sleep in. Jimin quietly walks in behind Jin and sits down.
       "Yes, baby?" I ask as I fix our plates. We all sit down and begin to eat.
       "Can I move into the basement with Jimin?" He asks, pouting a little.
        I sip my coffee, thoughtfully. I was waiting for this. I've also changed my mind. "Actually, I have new plans about the basement." I smile.
        Jimin stiffens slightly but doesn't speak. Jin just waits for me to finish talking.
        "I think I'm going to move you down there, Jin. Jimin can have your room upstairs and I'll keep a portion of the basement as my work space. I'm going to add an actual bedroom down there just for you." I smile. As well as a dead bolt lock and password door just in case...this should be much fun.
       Jimin actually looks relieved, making me chuckle. Jin's eyes light up. "But I want to sleep with Jiminie!" He whines.
         I nod. "He can stay down there until you fall asleep then will have to go sleep in his own room. Does that work for you?" I ask, turning to the boy in question.
        He swallows hard, nodding. "That's fine."  
        Figured as much. "I have to go into the hospital for a few hours. I'll be home later. Do not leave this house, do not draw attention to yourselves and do not let anyone in this house. Understand?" I say, mostly to Jimin. Jin knows the drill.
        They both nod dutifully so I quickly dress for the hospital and leave them to their own devices. I'm extremely curious on what I'll come home to when I return. If Jimin will still be fully intact or not...maybe I should consider buying extra cameras to observe while I'm away. I enjoy a good show.
