2 years ago...

It was a dark night and the streets were empty and silent.

A cool breeze flew through the streets and made the bushes and trees whisper silently. You could barel see anything in the weak light of the lanterns. The houses and many other buildings were empty.

No life in sight, exept for two houses, which faced eachother from opposite sides.

One door opened slowly and the brown head of a boy peeked through the gap. He looked around with wide eyes before he slipped through the door completely.

Walking over quickly he knocked on the door. It was cold and he was rubbing his arms for a bit of warmth.
It didn't take long and the door was opened and the blonde head of another boy peeked through.

"Jungkook, what are you doing here?"

"Hyung, I can't sleep.",
Jungkook whispered.

"Why?"

"
Hyung, I-I miss them.",
he whispered softly with some tears in his eyes.

Taehyung sighed quietly and opened the door completely. He stretched out his arms and guided the younger boy into the house. They sat down on the couch and stared at the ground.

"L-Look, Jungkook, I know it's not easy for you and I am really sorry for everything my father has done...",
Taehyung broke the silence and looked down in guilt.

"H-Hyung, it's not your fault.",
Jungkook reasured him, his voice cracking slightly.

"I-It's just, that I-I miss them. There isn't one n-night when I can't think about them. I-I just want to go b-back to them and at l-least tell them that I'm fine and that I h-have someone who's there for me.",
Jungkook said, the tears already pouring.

Taehyung looked down in embarrassment and guilt. Slowly, heavy tears started coating his eyes too.

He hated himself.

He hated himself for being born and bringing so much trouble into the life of innocent people like Jungkook. He hated the fact that someone dear to him is suffering and imprisoned in this hell.

But he hated his father more. He hated his father for being such a sick human who thinks that it's okay to do such cruel things. He hated him wholeheartedly.

Taehyung looked up again and stretched his arms to give Jungkook in a hug. Jungkook accepted the hug and for the next two minutes, there was a comforting silence in the air.

They pulled away and looked eachother into the eyes. A sudden grin appeared on Jungkooks face and he pointed at Taehyungs eyes.

"Hyung, your eyes are fully brown!",
he exclaimed excitedly.

"Really?!",
Taehyung asked in disbelieve.

The younger nodded quickly.

Taehyung sat up and rushed into a bathroom where he found a mirror. He looked into his reflection and was met with two big and brown eyes.

He rushed back into the living room where Jungkook was.

"Jungkook!! That means that they can't control me anymore!!", Taehyung shouted in joy.

They started laughing and within seconds the sad athmosphere was history, as their cries and giggles of happyness filled the streets.

"Hyung, how about we have a boys night to celebrate this?",
Jungkook asked, his head tilting to his left.

Taehyungs brows furrowed and he looked at him with questioning eyes.

"What's a "boys night"? "

"Back there, girls would always tend to have girls nights and do girly things. On boys nights we play games, eat snacks and get drunk to wake up with a headache on the next day!",
Jungkook explained with wide eyes.

Taehyung thought about his suggestion and nodded in approvement. They started to bring snacks and cans of beer from both houses and put them down on Taehyungs table.

They started to play games as they stuffed themselves with snacks. They felt normal, as they bahved like normal teenagers again. Something, which was stripped away from them one year ago.

But little did they know that something big was going to happen. They were playing peacefully, as they mocked and praised eachother for loses and victories.

Their laughter didn't last long. The front door was kicked open as many men stormed the building and tackled Taehyung and Jungkook onto the ground.

A loud voice could be heard through the whole room.

"My dear son. You know that Jungkook was a test object to check how you respond to our commands while being physically and mentally affected by others. Looks like thing got out of my hands and it looks like the both of you have to pay the consequences now.",
a deep and sinister voice spoke up and made the whole house shake.

Taehyung looked over to Jungkook who was looking back at Taehyung. The guards made then stand up again and kneel infront of eachother.

Jungkook looked behind Taehyung and his eyes widened in fear. He started to squirm beneath the men and tears brimmed at his eyes.

"NO! LET ME GO YOU F- NO!!",
Jungkook screamed and soon, Taehyung found the needle of a syringe injected into his neck. Tears were already running down the faces of both boys.

Taehyungs eyes wided as a second of heavy silence broke through the room. For a second, Taehyung felt like the world stopped. He felt like he was being chocked as he suffocated beneath the silence.

And then?

Pain.

Taehyung struggled and screamed in pain from the things he was feeling in his body. He looked over to Jungkook who was trying to get out of the grip of the men that were holding him. His eyes widened when he saw how one of the took out a gun and pointed it at Jungkooks stomach.

"NO!", a loud scream escaped his mouth between gasps and other screams.

But, he was too late...

Bang

A loud noise echoed through the empty house, followed by a ringing voice in his ears.
Taehyung forgot how to breathe as he looked at the boy infront of him. The menlet go of him and Taehyung immediately crawled to Jungkooks body.

He looked at him with teary eyes as he took Jungkooks limp body into his arms. He whispered a soft 'I'm sorry' and started to cry in pain. He never wanted it to end this way, and yet, here they are.

His biggest nightmare came true.

"Sir, the drug isn't working."

"Give him another dose then.",
he could hear them behind him faintly. He looked at Jungkooks closed eyes and more sobs escaped his lips. He held his body like his life depended on it.

Within the next moment, he found a needle in his back, then another and then another. Three syringes were in his back, and even though he felt sore and pain cursing every inch of his body, he didn't let go.

Two strong arms gripped his shoulders before he was being pushed away rather harshly. His free arms and legs thrashed through the air as he felt like a part of him was being ripped away.

Something hard met his head, making him feel lightheaded. His gaze wandered to Jungkooks limp body for a last time before he closed his eyes.

The horrific sight of blood smearing the floor as Jungkooks body was being dragged away printing itself in his head.
