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...
Four hours later when Mathan's replacement arrived at the control room, he had been radioed by his father with instructions to examine Yoongi and make sure he was still viable as an investment.
'Viable as an investment'.
Damn, his father really was an unfeeling bastard, not that Mathan was surprised. As he stood in front of the door to BTS' prison, his stomach churned, not only from his father's cold words but also because of what he was now going to be forced to do. He was adding to the growing trauma these boys had to endure and it was cutting into his soul.
Makingsure that his mask and voice box were in place, scoffing at the idea that theywould keep him free, Mathan took a deep breath and nodded to the two guardswith him as he unlocked the door and stepped in.
~oooOooo~
The sound of the door opening pulled Jin from the restless sleep he had fallen into. He managed to pull himself away without waking the other four huddled on the bed and stood to face the door. As he glanced back he saw Namjoon leave Yoongi and move to his side. Without thought Jin reached out and grabbed the other's hand, feeling it wrap tight around his own.
'What fresh hell could these monsters visit upon themnow?' Jin wondered as the breath caught in his throat and fresh tears threatened to fall.
"You two! Grab your friend there and come with us!" Mathan said as he motioned towards the bed where Yoongi lay.
Jin looked at Namjoon in confusion because of the strange sounding English, but it was the low animal moan coming from Yoongi that made Jin run at the guard recklessly. Instead of being struck, or having a gun shoved in his face, Jin found himself pulled into a strong embrace, his body spun around so he was now back to chest with the guard who held him close.
"Please don't make me hurt you," the alien voice growled in Jin's ear, sounding almost pleading as the guard gave him a subtle squeeze before he let Jin go and carefully pushed him away.
When Jin was a safer distance away, Mathan looked at Namjoon through his expressionless mask and pointed to the bed.
"Pick up your friend and carry him to the door."
The monster inside Namjoon howled for release as he turned and walked over to the mound of blankets containing Yoongi.
"Forgiveme, Yoongi hyung," he whispered as he bent low and carefully lifted hisbrother from the bed. He couldn't raise his eyes to look at the other four whowere now awake as he walked past the guards and out the door, one of the lesserguards grabbing Jin and escorting him out of the door as well.

For a moment, it seemed as if the one who had beenspeaking paused and gave a shallow nod of affirmation to Taehyung's anguishedplea, but it could have just been the wishful thinking of the four terrifiedyoung men.
