In Taehyung's arms Jungkook let himself quietly weep, he went through too much in too short a time to be able to just brush it all off.

An amount of time that felt like forever and a second at the same time passed, though it was actually about ten minutes. In that time Jungkook cried out all of the tears that he could. Now the two of them were just sitting together in a warm embrace.

Taehyung looked down toward Jungkook who looked at peace with his eyes closed as he leaned against him. He didn't want to move, it would be a crime, like moving when you have an animal on you, but he had to. He couldn't let Jungkook fall asleep as he was.

He slipped away without a word, leaving Jungkook cold and confused. He headed into the bathroom and turned on the water to fill up the tub. He stayed there for a while mediating the temperature and making sure there was a good amount of water.

The sound of water ceased and Taehyung once again entered the bedroom, "we gotta get you cleaned up. Okay?" It was half a question half an order. Jungkook was already sitting up with a blanket over him, it was like all of a sudden his humility was returned leaving him a blushing mess. "Yea, but could I bathe alone?"

"No, it will be easier if I help you," Taehyung said as he approached Jungkook. He slid his arm around Jungkook's back positioning himself in a way that he could easily lift him up. Jungkook pushed him away, it wasn't a hard push it was weak and kinda gentle.

Taehyung stared down at the blushing boy and let out a big sigh, "listen if you can get to the bathroom all on your own then I'll leave you to clean up, BUT, if you can't your stuck with me. Deal?" His voice was stern but gentle, Jungkook would be lying if he said it didn't make him feel loved, he nodded in affirmation and gathered himself.

Just getting into position to lift off of the bed was excruciating. Jungkook's feet were planted on the ground and he was wiggling his toes. He inhaled deeply and pushed himself up. Pain shot through the entirety of his body but he was standing.

Jungkook smiled and a bit of his tension left him, the same tension that was helping him stay up. He fell to the floor with a thud and a cry of pain. Taehyung was leaning down next to him within seconds, a very apparent frown in his face.

Jungkook looked up and pouted, he felt as if was almost going to cry but he didn't. "A deals a deal" he murmured through his pout and held his hand up to Taehyung.

Taehyung swooped under his arm and lifted him up. Jungkook walked leaning on Taehyung's shoulder for support, his body still ached and pain still coursed through him but now he could at least walk.

Into the bathroom they went and stopped in front of the tub,  trying to decide how exactly they were going to lower Jungkook in. "It's a bit warm" Taehyung warned, it needed to be if it was going to even begin to sanitize him.

Jungkook gasped out as he lowered one foot into the water, it stung. Slowly he inched his whole body into the water until he was just laying there. It took awhile for the stinging to mellow out and even then it didn't go away completely.

Meanwhile Taehyung was gently rubbing down Jungkook's body and he let him. It was a nice feeling and it made him feel safe, like Taehyung would never let anything happen to him again.

"My father did this didn't he?" Taehyung questioned but he already knew the answer. Jungkook didn't try to say anything but instead just looked away. "Yea, I know" Taehyung whispered to himself, he knew he had to confront his father but it would still be a hard thing to do.

"I have to go now" Taehyung said as he finished cleaning up Jungkook, "I'll have the head butler stand by in the other room so if you need anything you can ask him. When you're ready to get out tell him and he'll take you to my room. "I'll be back" he said with a fake smile trying to hide how worried he was about confronting his father.  
  
   
    
      
    

Taehyung knocked on his father's bedroom door before noticing a slip of paper in the door hinge, go to my study, it read. So Taehyung did, he turned and made his way to his father's study.

The door was open and the light was on. As Taehyung turned to peer into the room he was taken by surprise, his father was nowhere to be seen. He walked in slowly taking in every detail of the room around him, it was very rare that he was allowed into his father's study.

Taehyung noticed a door in the back of the room that was open just a sliver. Assuming that that was where he was supposed to go he made his way over. The room was dark but had a glow to it and as Taehyung opened the door more it all made sense.

His father was sitting there in front of a large wall of screens most of which were at a standstill. Near the middle on a screen Taehyung could see the room he was in till just a bit ago, in the room Haru was cleaning up. Taehyung let out a little sigh if relief, happy to know Haru was already there for Jungkook, it had only been about eight or nine minutes since Taehyung woke him and asked him for his help.

"If you don't mind me asking father what is the problem?" "Problem, there's no problem" his father flippantly replied. "Then why did you do that to my slave." "Ohh that" he said as if what happened was so unimportant that he had already forgotten "it that was just a test."

"Im gonna tell you a little story son, there I was one day at my desk when all of a sudden there was a knock on my door. I didn't call for anybody so who could it have been, oh by the way this was a couple of weeks ago, anyway, I called to let them in and in came a little butler. He apologized for the intrusion and then set a piece if paper on my desk. He explained where he got it and all about how you and a slave were spending an awful lot of time together. Can you guess what was on the paper, it was a drawing of you, of you in an unbecoming state. In my anger I got rid of that butler and had all of the cameras that no longer worked replaced. I was shocked to see you being touched by a slave, strung along as he did whatever he wanted to you but I let it go, it's normal enough to explore your sexuality, I let it go until it started to dominant your life. Lately you've been... unresponsive and your tutor has told me you are doing horrible in class. I figured if I showed your slave his place he wouldn't do as he pleases and you would be pulled from your love struck daze. It would be a win win situation but here you are acting all high and mighty."

"Do you honestly think that you and that slave could be happy together?" Taehyung didn't answer his father's question he didn't know how to instead he just stood there. His father's voice was now louder and angrier. "Do you want to date him? Or do you just want him to fuck you? I set you up with that boy, he's a good boy you know he does what he's told. I was hoping that you just liked boys and just wanted to fuck, hoping that that slave wasn't special to you but here you are."

Honestly Taehyung had never thought of what type of relationship he wanted with Jungkook, he wasn't even sure what it meant to like someone. But his feelings for Jungkook were all new, something he had never felt before. Once again he didn't answer.

His father let out a big sigh and began to talk again, calm and reflective, "I tell you this from experience, don't fall in love, especially not with a slave because in the end you'll be here watching as they embrace someone else."

Taehyung knew he was talking about his mother, he knew that his mother was a former slave and that she cheated but he didn't know that it affected his father so deeply. "I understand father but I need to live my own life so, if you could, please don't break my things and I'm no longer going to the tutor, I need to learn some things for my self."

"Do what you want I don't care."

"Goodbye father," Taehyung said in a solemn voice before exiting the room.
