Sanity

53: When Will You Realize?

Jimin POV

"Hey Jung- Jimin?" Taeyong caught me still looking through his stuff... and I smiled.

"Oh hi Taeyong.... I haven't seen you in a really long time..." I hugged him softly before he let go.

"Uhm- Yeah... hey, do you know where Jungkook is?"

"No, I think he was in a meeting. Why?"

"I had to ask him something about an assignment I got."

"You can ask me."

He looked at me weirdly before shaking his head and leaving it.

"Hey... what were you doing at Jungkook's desk anyways?"

"He asked me to look for something for Daehyun and I couldn't find it. How have you been without me annoying you for so long?"

"Life was so boringgggg~~ I missed you attacking me with questions and making me laugh for no reason... I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"All that stuff that happened a year before... I must've put you through a lot of trouble."

"Aish, it wasn't your fault, don't worry. I think Jungkook should be done from his meeting now. We'll talk later."

"Bye Jiminie~"

I waved before getting back to Jungkook's desk.

Bomb plans, potential new recruits, psych evals, my issues that don't exist... I kept researching all of them.

I glanced at the large covered board with small pins sticking out.

Now or never...

I pulled the sheet down to the ground and almost collapsed seeing what was on the board...

Small POV Switch: Jungkook

"Hey Mr. Jeon?"

"Oh hi Taeyong. What happened?"

"So, I was going to your room to ask for the new plans for the raid you were planning for next week and I went there. But, I opened the door and saw Jimin going through all your plans through your desk. I didn't see which ones but it was a lot of them. The board was still covered but I don't believe it will be for long."

"So Taeyong... it didn't work?"

"Not very strongly, no."

I growled and went upstairs after thanking Taeyong for the news. I also told no one to enter my room until the morning.

I burst open my door and saw Jimin standing there, pulling the red string I dropped around the board. He hadn't seemed to have noticed me so I made my presence clear.

"Jimin? What are you doing? I told you not to go through that."

He didn't reply. Instead, he kept pulling the string more and ignored my yelling.

I watched his hands connect the papers on the board and only stop when everything came to a stop.

See, that bored was my entire plan on how to control Jimin. Everything from his childhood, psych evals, interests, hospital records, weaknesses. I've studied him my whole life, and don't plan on stopping now.

And now?

Jimin realized why he connected all the dots.

That drug I put in him, made him. It controlled him to follow what I started.

"What did you put in me, Jungkook?"

"I-"

"Jungkook! What did you put in my head?!"

"The strongest dose of F8-756. The one drug that makes you so dependant on one person that you can't ever let them go. You have to depend on me and if you can't then... it will kill you."

"Why would you do that to me?!"

"I had to! I had to program it to cater to something I could support! How else would you be mine?!"

"But I wasn't meant to be yours! You can't just drug me and expect it to always work!"

I glanced up at him... and smirked.

"What did you find in all those plans... Jimin?"

He was caught off guard and took time to reply.

"I- I don't know what you're talking about."

"Did you think that I wouldn't figure you out? I got to you.... I have you where I need you."

"And to start off, no. No, I'm not schizophrenic. I don't think anyone's going to kill me without a purpose."

"But you always feel that everyone's against you and they all want to hurt you. So you don't trust anyone but yourself. You don't like other people being near the things you concern for. So you protect them from anything."

"No and no."

"The one reason I drugged you so hard and scarred you so much was to kill off most of that illness inside you. If it died off, you'd be able to trust me and anyone else I'd tell you to. I did all this... these bombings, kills, raids... all so those people you couldn't trust wouldn't be there to hurt you."

"Don't try manipulating me Jeon. I know your just trying to use me in the end. Hell, you don't even like me."

I did all this because I love you, Jimin. I don't know when you'll realize this but I love you enough to set you free...
