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...
Jimin refused to look at the other members in the room even though he desperately wanted to, keeping his eyes locked firmly on the floor. Every cell in his body screamed out for him to look at them; to see for himself that they were alright as Mathan had promised him. But Gregor's presence ensured that Jimin maintained his role as Sven's jewel. He knew that every word and action would be reported back to his master, and if the Russian thought that he wasn't keeping his part of the bargain, even for a moment, Jimin knew they would all pay the price.

With fists clenched hard enough for nails to dig into flesh, Jimin lifted his head and stared straight ahead. Knowing he would break completely apart if he so much as glanced at any of them, especially his sweet Jungkook, he focused his eyes on the concrete wall across the room and made his face as blank as stone.
"Sven trained him well, didn't he?" Dorian gave a cruel smirk as he looked from Mathan to each of the other members of Bangtan Sonyeondan. He turned back to his son as he continued his taunting. "Maybe Sven can help you train that one," he said, pointing to Jin.
Namjoon's first reaction was to strike out, to curse the man before him whose face looked so much like their would-be savior, but he settled for silence instead. Mathan's halting touch on the back of his arm was oddly reassuring, even as his jaw ached from the pressure of his clenched teeth.
'Don't...' Mathan's gaze seemed to say. 'You're gonna end up doing exactly what my father wants...'
Giving Namjoon's arm a tight squeeze Mathan looked at Dorian and laughed. "I doubt Sven could teach me anything useful or particularly exciting, so don't waste my time."
"Well, we certainly don't want to waste any time, do we?" Dorian smiled as he waved the guards back. "I am sure the boys are wondering why we have them dressed so nicely with the added presence of the lovely Jimin."
Walking up to Gregor with a grin, Dorian took Jimin by the arm and moved him over to where the others were clustered together by Mathan.
"I want all of you to stand here and look pretty while we take a nice photo of you to send home." he said, the smile on his face terrifying in its gentleness.
"Photo...to send home...?" Namjoon stuttered in confusion as he looked at Dorian.
Dorian laughed. "Why, yes...it has been decided that now is an appropriate time for your miraculous return from the dead. The world has grieved long enough, and I am sure that your new company will be more than willing to meet our demand for your safe return."
Jin was confused as to why Dorian stared at Jimin the entire time heanswered Namjoon's question. Had something happened with his brother thatthe other six did not know about? Hedesperately wanted to ask Jimin, but he knew that any interaction between themwould only end in punishment. Rousing from his thoughts as he felt astrong hand on his back, Jin followed his brothers to the center of the roomwhere they all stood crowded in fear, looking at the camera above the door asthe red light flashed and a sick new game began.
