//4 - "You'd make a fine pet, baby boy"//

     Jin wakes up with a brutal headache, blindfolded, gagged and hands bound behind his back. He tries to remember the last thing that happened, but his thoughts are muddled in his groggy state. His senses are heightened since he can't use his vision and he listens carefully to his surroundings. He decides to stay super still and quiet just in case, not knowing what consequences lie ahead if he makes even the slightest move.

He sort of hears the two men talking to each other in the front rather loudly and he questions to himself whether they care if he hears them or not. He can't hear much though anyway, only making out a few key words since the car is making enough noise to sort of muffle out their conversation.

He starts to breathe harshly through his nose since his gag is now drenched with his saliva. He couldn't breathe with his mouth even if he wanted to. He squeezes his eyes shut at the pain of his jaw, aching due to how long he's been gagged.

Few minutes go by until full realization hits him and he begins to cry softly, silent tears running down his cheeks. This is it. This is really happening. He's being taken away God knows where for who knows how long and why. He can only think of one reason and he really hopes he's wrong. All he wants is to go home to his mom and that's what hurts him the most. His mom is going to be all alone, worried that her son hasn't come home like he said he would. Who's going to take care of her? Give her her medicine? Feed her? It's not safe for her to be alone.

After about an hour or so, he feels the car come to a halt, the driver hitting the brakes harshly. This makes his body roll forward and he falls on the ground between the seats, making him groan out.

"Well well well, looks like pretty boy has finally woken up from his beauty sleep. Kai, hurry and unlock the door," Seungri says as he gets out, grabbing Jin and dragging him out of the car as well. Seungri throws him over his shoulder like a rag doll and walks towards the entrance, all the while teasing Jin by dragging his fingers up and down the back of his thigh. Jin starts to kick to get his hands off, but Seungri spanks him to make him stop.

The three of them enter a lavish house, beautifully furnished with expensive couches and fine paintings hanging on the walls. The marble floors are stainless and waxed and the smell of vanilla fills the air. It is nice at first glance, but if you knew what happened inside the property, you would beg to differ.

They descend into the damp basement, the smell putrid in contrast to the smell from upstairs. Seungri drops Jin on the floor and him and Kai begin stripping him, ripping his clothes to shreds. They leave him naked and vulnerable on his knees and they start to bully and coo at him, making him sob uncontrollably and feel more pathetic. His hiccups are muffled through his gag and his throat begins to hurt from the intensity of his cries.

They finally leave him alone when another presence enters the room.

"Welcome to my humble abode, Jinnie. I surely hope you enjoy your stay," Seung-Hyun laughs, his men laughing with him. Jin breathes heavily through his nose, trying to recover from his crying. Seung-Hyun kneels down in front of the trembling man.

"Oh Jinnie, it's rude to not look at the person you are talking to, let alone not answer," he teases as he plays with Jin's blindfold. Jin jerks his head away from him and this upsets him. Seung-Hyun grabs him by his hair and turns his head to face him, ripping his blindfold off. Jin whimpers, blinking a few times to refocus his vision and when he does, he looks up at the blonde man.

Seung-Hyun smirks as he examines his features, nodding to himself as he takes in his beauty. He's so much more handsome up close. He'll sell for so much.

"Such a pretty little slut, aren't you?" He chuckles. "You'd make a fine pet, baby boy."

He snaps his fingers and looks over his shoulder. "Untie him and take off his gag." He looks directly at Jin. "If you try to escape, I won't hesitate to shoot you, little one."

They pull the gag off him and he moves his aching jaw. The second they untie the rope, his hands shoot down to cover as much of himself as he can, wincing at his stiff muscles. Seung-Hyun tsks and walks closer to him, Jin in return scoots away from him.

     "Don't hide yourself, kitten. Unless you want a real reason to hide."

     Jin shakes his head and cowers beneath him, staring intently at the concrete floor. Seung-Hyun huffs.

     "Not very talkative. Take him to where the others are. I want him out of my sight."

     As he walks away, Kai and Seungri crowd around Jin and pick him up by his arms. On the way there, they grope and touch his body to purposely put him more on edge. Crying seems to be the only thing Jin can do as he is dragged to a big room where ten medium sized cages are set up with at least four people in each one, naked like he is. They walk towards a cage where only one boy is being held in and they throw him inside.

     "Get in there," Seungri scowls. He then waves his fingers at the other boy and he just cowers in fear of the men. They slam the door shut and lock it with a padlock. Before leaving, they hit the metal bars and it creates a loud noise, startling everyone.

     Once they are out of sight, Jin shyly looks around, noticing that everyone is getting ready to call it a night. Unbeknownest to him, all of the boys have had a rough day today. He sighs and finally looks over at the bubblegum haired boy, who is already staring at him.

     "I'm Jimin," he says softly.

     "S-seokjin."

     "How old are you?" Jimin asks curiously, tilting his head. Jin rubs his arms since the room is so cold.

     "20."
"I'm 19."

Jin just nods, still uncomfortable by the whole naked situation and Jimin notices. He reaches out his hand towards him, but Jin just stares at it.

"Come on, I don't bite," Jimin jokes. Even though it is a small attempt, it actually makes Jin crack a tiny smile and he gives in, walking towards Jimin. Each cage is allowed two small blankets and it is up to them to decide whether to share or not and how. Luckily, it is just Jin and Jimin in the cage, so for now, sharing isn't necessary.

Jimin hands him the blanket and smiles, grabbing his own as well.

"It's not much, but it is definitely enough. It gets really cold at night, as you may have noticed already, so we're thankful that they at least gave these to us. I mean, who wants cold slaves?"

Jimin scolds at himself when he sees Jin visibly wince at the word 'slave'.

"I'm sorry."

Jin dismisses it and shoots him a small smile. "It's ok. It's the truth, isn't it?"

Jimin purses his lips and looks down at his covered lap.

"How long have you been here? You don't have to answer by the way," Jin says carefully.

Jimin looks at him with teary eyes, his bottom lip slightly quivering. "Five months."

Jin looks at him sympathetically and nods. They take the silence as a sign to finally go to sleep and they lay down, Jimin facing the wall while Jin faces the middle of the room. His eyes dart around and he sees a tiny window far out of their reach. He takes it as a way of taunting them of their freedom, which seems so far away and unattainable.

"Jin?"
He hums.
"Can you cuddle me? Please?"

Jin gives in to his soft voice and he turns around, opening his arms wide. Jimin, wrapped tightly in his blanket like a burrito, scoots closer to Jin, sighing deeply at the warmth of his body heat. Unconsciously, Jin runs his long fingers through Jimin's dirty hair, lulling the tired boy to sleep. He has trouble himself however because his mind refuses to go to sleep.

It's hard to believe this is how he will be living from now on.
