Taehyung busted through the door and slammed it shut behind him, marching towards the boy who was still sobbing breathlessly. A pang of guilt suddenly ran through the officer's entire being. He felt awful. He marched forward nonetheless.

"J-Jungkook-kookie." He stumbled over his words. "Please, tell me what happened. I'm ready to list-listen now."

Jungkook was still sobbing. It seemed that he couldn't hear anything around him.

Taehyung stepped closer, gently ruffling the younger's hair and kneeling in front of him. He parted Jungkook's hands from his face and whispered, "Please, what happened?"

Jungkook's eyes were puffy, his nose was red and his face was swollen, but for some reason it made Taehyung's heart swell even more? He didn't understand the foreign feeling at the moment but he had no time to think about it. He had to console the younger at the moment and have an actual civil conversation.

"I won't hurt you anymore. Just tell me what happened."

Jungkook's voice came out sickly, "No... No hurting... Anymore." It seemed that he could only hear bits and pieces. God, he was so malnourished Taehyung felt so incredibly guilty.

"Baby, I won't. Please," he stated, attempting to speak more clearly, "tell me everything."

Jungkook seemed to understand this round. He was dizzy and confused and hungry and scared, but he could speak again. "He- He forced me to- to be there. I was just walking by myself that night and some m-man forced me to come with him. He dragged me and he looked so, so c-creepy so I let him because I didn't want to get hurt. When you walked away, he asked me if I wanted to see something cool. I- I didn't but he went in and... He ate him. When he heard you coming back he pushed me onto the older man and it got all over me... I felt so sick... I ran home and threw up..."

Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows. "That's not right... You said that you couldn't help but eat people?"

"I don't remember that... I remember saying that I'm sorry but then I ran off and puked."

"What?" Taehyung thought harder, his memories slowly returning. "I blamed myself, but I didn't want to keep all of it and since you were there, I pointed my fingers at you. I really thought..." He let out an exasperated chuckled. "I really thought you did it."

Suddenly, a tear rolled down Taehyung's cheek. He didn't even realize until Jungkook's face was up in his and his tear was being wiped away.

"You..."

"I'm sorry. I never got his name but..." As Jungkook continued to try to speak, it all came out as whispers and croaks. He had lost his voice.

"Oh my God, Jungkookie I'm so... I'm so sorry." Taehyung wrapped his arms around Jungkook into a tight hug. "We need to get you out of here for a bit. I'll renovate this place soon, I promise. Then you'll have a real place to stay."
