Promises

Chapter 20

~Jungkook pov~

I shivered. I feel cold. I opened my eyes and looked around. I'm in a basement. It's dim. The only light is coming from a window. I rubbed my eyes. What happened? Taehyung and his dad kidnapped me then, I don't remember anything. Where am I? Am I at their house or a warehouse? I looked around me. There was pillows everywhere and I had two blankets on me. I stood and I looked for a door. There was a door at the top of some stairs. I quietly climbed them and I tried to open the door but it was of course locked. I sighed. I quietly listened. I heard walking and I heard faint voices. It was a female. I then heard a door open and close. I heard footsteps and then it all stopped and I heard quiet talking. Though, it gradually grew louder.

"Dad, what the fuck?! You're crazy." I heard Taehyung exclaim.

"Don't yell at me you bastard." I heard his dad yell. I heard a crash. What happened. Did he hurt Taehyung?

"D-dad..." I heard Taehyung cough.

"Ugh, I don't have time for your stupid ass. I have some work to do. Go give that kid some food." I heard a door slam. I heard footsteps walk somewhere and then they walked near the door. I scrambled down the stairs and got in the bed I covered up, thinking it was Taehyung's dad. The door unlocked and opened. I had my back facing the door so I closed my eyes and stayed quiet. The door closed and I heard footsteps walking down the stairs. I heard someone set something down. I then felt them run their fingers through my hair. I then knew it was Taehyung. I rolled over and looked up at him.

"Hey, Kookie." He said.

"Hi." I replied with a small smile.

"How long have you been awake?" He asked, sitting down on the mattress beside me, handing me a plate of food. I took it. I wonder if his dad poisoned it.

"About 10 minutes or so..." I replied. Taehyung noticed me staring the food down.

"It's not poisoned, I helped my mom make it." He said. I nodded and began to eat. It's really good, to be honest. I looked at Taehyung. I noticed he had a cut old his forehead. I reached up and lightly touched it.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Oh... Nothing, it's fine." He replied, pulling away.

"I heard a crash... Did your dad hurt you?" I asked. Taehyung sighed.

"He pushed me into a counter. My head hit the corner." He answered. I looked down. I feel so bad for Taehyung.

"So, what's going to happen?" I asked.

"To you?" He asked. I nodded. Taehyung looked at me, tears forming.

"My dad... The whole reason we argued and shit is because he doesn't want to just give you back to your parents." Taehyung said.

"Why not?" I asked.

"Cause, he is scared that you'll tell on him. He knows that you know me and you can easily go to get help. So... After we get the money... he wants to kill you." Taehyung said. I felt my heartbeat increase.

"He said that he was going to make me do it... but then he said that he'll just do it." Taehyung said. I put the food down and scooted closer to Taehyung. I hugged him.

"Tae, we'll figure something out." I said.

"But... what can we do?" He asked.

"Well, can we run away tonight?" I asked.

"There are others from the gang prowling at night. He would tell them. To stop us if they saw us. Besides, I don't want my mom to know, he said he'd kill her." Taehyung said.

"We'll figure something out." I said. Taehyung nodded. I pulled away from the hug and I kissed his lips. He smiled. We then heard a door slam.

"How long does it take to give the kid some damn food!" We heard his dad yell. Taehyung jumped up.

"I don't want him to take anything out on you, bye Kookie." Taehyung kissed my cheek and ran up the stairs. He closed the door and locked it. I sighed and looked back at the food. I finished eating and I got up. I walked around the basement. There was only one window and it was too small for me to fit through. I plopped back down on the mattress and I began to think of plans for me Taehyung to get out and get out and get help.
