Chapter Twenty One

⊱⋅ ──────────── ⋅⊰

"It was a punishment, Jungkook!" It was indeed her punishment. There was no good punishment for her escape, so Jimin only did what he thought wasn't painful. Hurting her doesn't sit well with him somehow, but he'd hoped that by sleeping with him, Shang would at least feel pleasure. Clearly, he didn't think of it that far ahead.

"Well, at the very least, you thought about her feelings" Jungkook had hoped it was in that case, but seeing Shang's reaction earlier proves that Jimin didn't care about what she felt "You probably prioritized your needs and never cared about her, you bastard"

Jungkook was mad. He notices the trauma in her shaking body, and her shaking gaze proves that her body is still in denial. It pisses him off because if Shang already has the trauma then it'll take a while to get rid of it before his turn. He hated what Jimin did, and he hates the fact that it makes her heart heavy. The feeling of heartache makes him want to puke; it's as if he's dying inside, and it's uncomfortable and annoying for him.

Jimin couldn't respond instead, he replayed the night he had with Shang and come to a realization that he did force himself on Shang. Blinded by lust, he performed for his release to the point of forgetting the purpose of sexual intercourse. The regret started to build up, spreading through every part of his body suddenly felt disgusted. 

He raped her.

"I think you're right. It's time for me to grow up and make things right. I can't believe you're the oldest" With that, Jungkook waved his hands and signaled the maid to guide him to the clinic, leaving Jimin alone to reflect on his actions.

To think this was supposed to be the best day of his life.

Shang was on bedrest for three days straight. After the incident in the library, she couldn't bring herself to leave the solace of the clinic. Somehow, it gave her a sense of security. The doctor would check her recovery from time to time, the maids would clean her up and give her fresh clothes to wear, and some would deliver her food every morning, afternoon and evening. But never ate any bite. The doctor prescribed that she inject fluids into her body to sustain her energy and keep her alive. So, from time to time, nurses would change the bag.

Three whole days spent doing nothing. Her mind was blank.

Taehyung and Jungkook decided to visit her after their busy schedule for the past three days. Taehyung had to take care of some stuff, and Jungkook needed to deal with the posted missing case of Shang.

The two could only stare at her state; all their words and questions of worry remained unanswered by Shang. Jungkook was leaning on the clinic's door frame while Taehyung sat in a chair that he pulled out from the corner of the room and placed beside Shang's bed where she lay oh so steadily.

She was in trauma.

All she did was to look out at the window, watching the birds fly freely in the woods, how the sun brightly lit the world unbeknown to Shang's situation. How easy it was for the sun to rise and fall, how the world continued without her. 

She was as insignificant as any other. 

"That bastard didn't even dare to visit her" Jungkook commented, crossing his arms while rolling his eyes. He wore a black long-sleeve with his black tracksuit and black combat boots.

"Because he regrets it, Jungkook" Taehyung could only take a deep breath at his older brother's behaviour. Jimin has been locking himself in his room, not daring to leave. Taehyung and Jungkook had to manage the business despite having their responsibilities. That's the reason why the two had been so busy.
