Most addictions are bad... and some are dangerous.
Saeyoung has never felt so close to someone before in his life, he'd go to extreme levels to protect you, even if it meant he had to lock you up- and hurt the people around you- just so that you cou...

"What if they don't make it on time?" I whisper quietly to myself, imagining the worst case scenario.
The scene played out in my head: Jumin and Jaehee don't show up, Seven comes back, he sees the messages, our eyes lock, his eyes turn cold...
"(Y/n), are you in there?" A deep voice called from the entrance door.
My head perks up, heart thumping with adrenaline and my eyes begin to blur over with tears. They made it.
"You godly son of a bitch," I breathe out happily, rushing to the door. I place my hand against the cool metal, the thing that had separated me from my escape for so long, and I called back, "I'm here!"
The clanking of unlatching bolts was followed by voices, gradually getting louder and louder as daylight seeped into the room.
"Those Arabic lessons paid off, Mr Han."
"Maybe I should study cat next, I have believe that there's meaning in every purr-"
"Not now, Mr Han. (Y/n) is our priority, surely."
I squinted at the unfamiliar light, darkened silhouettes slowly turning from blurs, to shapes, into two figures.
I stumble forwards, Jumin catching me as I fall weakly into his chest.
"She doesn't look very well, we should leave now."
"(Y/n)?" I hear faintly. And I heard it again, but it slowly faded into nothing, and my vision turned dark.
Blood. This wasn't an apartment I recognised. I felt like I couldn't breathe. Seven. He's staring at me. More blood. A body on the floor. False promises of love. "This is how a psycho shows affection."
I inhale deeply, bolting upright, making the figure besides me flinch in surprise.
"You're awake." He mumbles, running a hand through his ebony hair.
"Jumin." I whisper, slowly adjusting to the new surroundings. This was definitely Jumin's apartment.
His tie was loosened around the unbuttoned collar of his white button-up shirt, and he wore dark formal trousers crisply ironed and smoothed to match his sleekly shined designer shoes.
"Did you sleep well?" He stands up from his seated position on a chair besides the bed, softly sliding a thick, hard-cover book onto the bedside table. "I tried to read to you to comfort you while you slept, but you still seemed so distressed."
I look down at the pure cotton bedsheets, guilty that I was making them dirty somehow, "Thank you."
"What for?" Jumin peered down at me kindly from his tall stance over the bed, "anyone can read."
"For saving me," I look up at him, then back down again.
I felt so small bedsides him, everything seemed so expensive- it intimidated me. From the marble flooring to the fresh linen, and even the lightbulbs in the chandelier. Were they designer brand too?
"I'm still a bit on edge about the situation, Luciel never seemed the type to do such a thing. Zen, perhaps, but-"
"Seven attacked Zen in my apartment just over a few days ago, he's completely unstable. We need to call the police or something!"
"Strange..."
"Huh?"
"Zen never mentioned any attacks, as far as I know. He's been a bit quiet and took a break from acting," Jumin straightens his sleeve cuffs, "if I recall correctly, he passed on a message from Seven saying that you wouldn't be in contact for a while because of a security breach. I suppose we were all too quick to trust Seven, if what you say is true."
"If what I say is true? Of course it's true! Seven is a psycho, his mood changes like a light switch. He broke my phone, tied me up and-"
"I don't mean to sound rude, but... this is all too hard to imagine," Jumin sighs, "let's discuss this later when assistant Kang is here."
I frown, averting my gaze, the sinking feeling that this is far from over weighing heavy on my shoulders. There was something deeper to this story I was yet to find out.
A/N I'm sorry it took a while for such a short chapter, I procrastinated so much because I had no idea what direction to take the story in, but now I've figured it out :)!
