K-pop fans and the world at large are thrown into turmoil when the rising global sensation Bangtan Sonyeondan, better known as BTS, are kidnapped in the dead of night. As the world reels in confusion, the young men of BTS find themselves living a ni...
The six members of BTS sat around the table picking at the food they had been forced to prepare under the watchful eyes of four guards. None could really stomach the idea of eating but the one guard who spoke made it clear that they would not leave until the food was cooked and eaten. To comply, Jin had made a simple rice dish with beef strips.
A partof them was missing. In the hours since Yoongi had been dragged from the room,each member had begged and apologized to the camera over the door. All of them atonce had bowed on the floor, foreheads pressed to the cold tile promisingcomplete obedience to whatever the captors demanded if their brother would onlybe returned to them.

Suddenly one of the guards came to attention and moved to the door, pulling it open to show two more guards dragging in an unconscious Yoongi. Taehyung screamed his lover's name as the others jumped from the table and rushed to their fallen brother.
It was only Namjoon who heard and understood the laughing comments made by the guards who had dragged Yoongi in.
"That was one sweet piece of ass," the bulkier of the two said. "Makes me hope that him or one of the others mouths off again."
The sound of Taehyung's weeping was what pulled Yoongi from the quiet darkness he was struggling to hold on to. No matter how many times Yoongi had scoffed at Taehyung's abundance of emotions, not once had he been able to resist their pull. He was weak to them. When he was at the highest of highs, it was Taehyung's blinding smile. And when he was at his lowest low, like now, the sound of his soft sobs. Yoongi could never resist him. Not even when he was starting to fear that he was no longer what was best for the man he loved.
'Please, Taehyung-ah,' his groggy mind thought. 'I cannot comfort you... I cannot even stay with you. I cannot bring myself to taint you so...'
Taehyung could only look at the man he cared for in confusion, unaware of what happened. Never in his worst nightmare would he think that Yoongi - the mentally strongest among them - would cave to anything he might endure. Then again, none of them could ever begin to know the fear, to understand the kinds of things these monsters were capable of, for they had never met any like them. Months from now they would understand pain, but here and now, they only knew of broken hearts and bandaged knees, not shattered souls and splintered minds.
"Yeon-in?" Taehyung asked as he approached, causing Yoongi to shrink away.
Yoongihad to bite his lip to keep his screams at bay, tasting his own blood as histeeth broke skin. Everything was onfire. Those monsters had washed him off with a hose and changed his clothes,but they had not allowed him to sink into the true oblivion he wanted. Slowly pushing himself up onto all fours, he closed his eyes to keep thetears in and bit his lip harder to keep a sob from escaping. Realizing that hisbrothers were there, he knew that Namjoon had probably heard, and understoodwhat had happened.
