You make me Strong |VMin|

Drowning

Taehyung held Taemin, trying to calm him down.
"Please tell me what happened? Where is my Minnie, Taemin" He begged.
"Taehyung, he is fine now and is sleeping in your bedroom.." Taehyung walked towards bedroom in a hurry.
"Stop Taehyung please.... Let him sleep. He needs it." Taemin cried.
"What is it ...tell me, Taemin I am really worried."
"Ji...jimin he." Taemin could not find words to explain.
"Taemin.... Tell me." Taehyung shouted.
"He called me in the evening, telling two men were following him. I told him to wait there and I would pick him..... But I couldn't find him when I reached. He.." The memory of that horrible scene is making it difficult for him to breathe.
"Please ...." Tae whimpered.
"He was in a alley... Those men .... Jimin was.... they were trying to rape him... "
"No my baby..... No! no..stop" Tae stood and walked towards bedroom crying.
"Please listen to me Taehyung, he is scared. Let him sleep, please I know you are hurt, for him control your emotions. we have to be his strength." Taemin dragged Taehyung back to couch.
"I shouldn't have left him alone.... I should have listened to him. Taemin he asked me to stay but I left him. I promised to protect him. I left my baby alone."

They both sat there shedding silent tears, sending silent prayers for the boy. Self hatred and guilt was killing both of them. They failed Jimin. They broke their promises. Jimin paid huge price for their mistakes. Will he ever forgive them. Will they ever forgive themselves.
Taehyung looked into the ceiling, thinking about how happy they were yesterday. Jimin had so many surprises planned for his birthday.
"Did you see them?"
"Yes, I can identify them anywhere. They tied him up, I might have cracked one of those bast@#d's skull."
"Did Minnie tell you something..?"
"He doesn't know them, he said they followed him in morning too."
"What.... He didn't say anything when he called."
"I told him to wait near a crowded area ... How did he reach that deserted alleyway."
"What...? Jimin is not familiar with this place, he only knows few people. What was he doing there?"
"Taehyung I don't know why, but I strongly feel this was all planned."
"What are you implying.?" Taehyung asked agitated.
"They tied him with ropes, Taehyung. Besides Jimin called me second time to tell he saw them take a cab and leave. I told him to stay exactly where he was. I reached there in five minutes but he wasn't there." Taemin tried to regain everything about the conversation he had with Jimin.
"How did he reach that alley." Tae asked with furrowed brows.
"We have to wait for Jimin." Taemin sighed.
Taehyung closed his eyes trying to calm his emotions. He walked towards the fridge to drink some water. His eyes pooled when he saw the strawberry cake.
"Minnie" he cried leaning against the fridge.
"I don't believe in you anymore god, you didn't take care my innocent angel. You only gave him pain. I won't talk to you. My baby is hurt and I don't know what to do. Save him please I beg you."

Taemin was still sitting on the couch crying silently.
"Drink this." Tae handed him a water bottle.
"Thanks" he whispered.
"Come, you can sleep in the spare room." Tae led him to Jimin's room.
"I know you are feeling guilty... But thanks for saving my baby." Tae said holding his hand.
"Taehyung I want them to die... the scene I witnessed ..... I want them dead. If Jimin wasn't there, I would have killed those f#£king b#£tards." Taemin said with a blank face.
"Taemin.. we will make them pay."
"It wouldn't have happened if I found him earlier.... this is all my fault."
"No, you saved him Taemin, you saved my Minnie.... please don't blame yourself."
Taemin laid down on the bed with saying a word.

Tae stood by the door watching Jimin's body curled under the blanket. He wiped his tears.
'for him' he thought. He changed his clothes and laid besides Jimin. Jimin's body stiffened at Tae's touch.
"My baby moon." He whispered into Jimin's hair. Jimin turned around in his arms and curled into his chest hugging him tightly. Tae's shirt dampened with Jimin's tears. He rubbed Jimin's back and held him as the boy cried silent tears. His own brain was clouded by various emotions and questions.
