Hana carried the young boy down a dark hallway. Taehyung hugged Hana tightly fear still surrounding him, but not enough to choke the poor woman. "H-Hana... How long have you been here?" He mumbled into her back.

The woman tensed, took in a long shaky breath before answering, "a-about thirteen years.. Can't really k-keep track of t-time here." Her gaze fixed on the path in front of her.

The young boy nodded into the older woman's back understanding, going through all this shit. But Taehyung hasn't been here long, and hopefully, he wouldn't be. He couldn't take any more of this.

Hell Taehyung is still a child, a child that has a bad family life that brought him to this in the first place. Taehyung was a good kid, he listened, got good grades. So why? Why him?

All these questions ran through Taehyungs mind. Thinking of reasons why hurt the boy. So he just asked the kind woman. "Hana... why me?"

Once again the woman took in a breath before answering, "because the world is a corrupted place filled with disgusting people." Her voice was lower than usual a darker scarier Hana was showing slightly. How could you blame her though, five years here can do that to you.

The rest of the walk was quiet other than the few times Hana would have to hoist Taehyung up, causing him to wince and her to apologize. While on the walk Taehyung noticed how dark it was, he noticed how every door he passed was locked from the outside. He noticed how there was only a small slider to look into.

Further down, however, closer to Hanas room it got a little less gross, her room door was normal and had but a simple lock on it. They must have let her come get him willingly. "Once inside, you can go for a shower."

Once in the room Hana gently placed the smaller on her fluffy ish bed, Taehyung looked down at his bag "Th-thank you Noona.." Taehyung murmured quietly to the woman, who is so kind to him.

"Anything I'm able to do..." She sighs, watching the small child with sad eyes, "this never should've happened to you."

The youngers eyes roamed over the room he was staying in with this woman now. It was just as small as the one that he woke up in, but there was a bathroom door in this one. Not to mention that the walls were ten times better, and if there was any mold like in the last room Taehyung couldn't see it. This room was a lot cleaner, still very empty but the bed wasn't just some gross dirty mattress laying on the floor, this one actually had a bed frame and a nice blanket.

"While you're in the shower, I'm going to go see if I can get you some food or water... Since you're new they may let you, but I can't promise you, I'm sorry." Hana rambled, she made sure to not make any eye contact, her voice was also soft, worried like. "And, um Tae. I probably won't be here when you're done. I have to go to a job..."

It shocked Taehyung to know he'd have to be alone for a while, whilst Hana the only person he knew was going through hell. His eyes widen and his head shoots up to look the woman in the eyes, his brown orbs glossy with tears of fear.

A guilty expression took over Hanas face, she completely understood the boys fear in being alone here. There is nothing scarier. "I'm sorry to leave you for a while, but I have no say in this stuff. None of us do, whatever they tell us is what we do."

After explaining a couple of small things to Taehyung, Hana left to try to get food. Leaving Taehyung scared and alone.

However, he still got up limping to the bathroom and starting up the warm water. When the tub was full Taehyung slowly sank under the comfort of the warm liquid surrounding him. Like a hug from a kind caring mother. The feeling brought tears to his eyes, it seemed that was all he was able to do here, cry. He watched his tears mix with the water, his arms wrapped tightly around his body. "P-please God save m-me." His voice small and fragile like that of a baby kitten.

As she said, Hana wasn't there when Taehyung got out, but there were a large t-shirt and clean boxers on her bed, plus a little bag of carrots. Beside them was a little sticky note that read;

Some clean clothes for you, I couldn't get them to give me a pair of pants that would fit and you didn't have any clean ones in your bag so I made do. Also please don't leave the room it's safer in here anyway.
I could only get them to give me the carrots, but at least it's something.
Take a nap or something Tae you're going to need it.

-Hana

Taehyung sighed loudly, his eyes burning once again. He didn't feel hungry at the moment, but he ate the carrots anyway since Hana went through all the trouble to get them. He then dressed into the clothes she left for him.

He cuddled himself into the bed under the warm blanket, a light sigh of content slipping past his lips. He prayed to all the gods to help him out of this, before peacefully slipping into a soft slumber.
