Before we move any further, the discussion has been made to clarify a few things that are going to happen from here on out just so there isn't any confusion or comment about things like the boys being OOC or about how they wouldn't do some of the things they are about to do.
                                
                              First and foremost this is a work of fiction and while I have worked hard to keep the boys' characters as close to reality as possible, now comes the time when we will start to see a split from that in how they behave.  Certain creative liberties have been taken in terms of 'off-the-wall' behaviors or behaviors that are 'out of the norm' when it comes to our characters.  I am also not saying this is how they would behave but none of us know that.  I am just using knowledge that I have of cause and effect coupled with research to establish what I hope to be a believable behavioral pattern that would fit the things we see here.
                                
                              While the main characters of this story are in fact based on world-wide sensation BTS, we left the people those gentlemen are in a different place and time. Nothing you see reflected here is meant to represent who those fine young men actually are.
                                
                              Here we see seven young men who have survived a Hell I am not sure any of us can imagine. Their reactions are all very real, very normal reactions to their given situation. Every living being, no matter how we may perceive them, responds differently psychologically and physiologically based on a number of factors. While some respond better to pain, others are able to weather mental anguish more, and I hope you have seen that in our story.
                                
                              As one of our commentators said, we very much wanted to most accurately portray how human nature plays out in the most horrendous and most vile circumstances, and how everyone is different and breaks in different ways. This story is ultimately about the journey these characters will take throughout and in parts 2 and 3 we will see a road to some sort of recovery.
                                
                              It is my most sincere hope that as we continue on this journey, you, the reader, will be able to see how we tried to bring out that human nature and make it believable and applicable. I myself have drawn on several fields of study and dedicated countless hours to research to make sure everything we write here can and does actually happen (because I hate off-the-wall shock factor for the sake of shock).
                                
                              I also hope that our readers are able to stay with us until the end of this trilogy and that they can support us as we break the boys even more while they heal *because there is still so very much hurt to come*.
                                
                              Again, as a reviewer said: "The mind, body, and soul... an amazing trinity. This story shows what one can truly withstand. How ones soul can break. Your soul leaves your body and takes your mind with it. It's like an auto pilot, but without the navigation and you keep driving deeper into the darkness. None of those boys know what they are doing anymore. Boys... they're not boys anymore. Those boys are gone... locked away somewhere so deep and so dark. With a million doors and walls and padlocks that I don't know how any of them will find themselves again... They are not in their right mind. None of them deserve this hell nor the hell they have condemned Kim Taehyung to or themselves. But that's how their bodies are coping. It's the only way they know how at this point. The mind is an amazing organ but also fragile at the same time. Once a demon cracks the skull it's like a disease... that consumes every good thing you've ever known. It changes you to someone you never were before."
                                
                              If this isn't your cup of tea, or if you are faint of heart, take caution. It is never my intention for someone to damage themselves because of something that they read. That is my main reason for posting these extensive and long-winded disclaimers.
                                
                              Jin, is just that.  Just Jin.  Always watching and making sure his brothers are okay, feeling inadequate when there is nothing he can do to help them or make whatever is bothering them better.  For now he has weathered seeing his younger brothers broken and beaten, healed and broken again.  He has lost the ability to trust everyone, including himself, and has lost all common sense when it comes to the anti-villian that is Mathan Foley - a man he both wishes to love, and knows he must hate.
                                
                              Yoongi experiences several types of things here. Blackout Syndrome (which I have personally been on the receiving end of), some form of PTSD (from his own attack), something akin to split personality (though not as heavily as we will see in other places), and ultimately he as a victim becomes an assailant due to his inability to cope with his past experiences.
                                
                              Hoseok is spiraling.  And while he may seem underrated or forced into a scene, come part 2 of our story so much of his story will come out and hopefully you will see the reasoning behind everything that has happened thus far.
                                
                              Namjoon is losing a fight.  He is physically tired, emotionally broken, and mentally detached.  He knows he has failed as a leader and thus has fallen back on his disorder to escape the hell that he is in.  One he hasn't a clue on how to escape.
                                
                              Taehyung...  Taehyung is Taehyung.  What is there to say?  He is his own worst enemy because all he cares about is everyone else.  Without one there are none but he believes without him Bangtan would be okay.  So in sacrificing himself for his family he has alienated himself from them and now he doesn't know where to go.  To him the secrets that he holds are ones he must take with him to the grave.
                                
                              Jimin is lost.  Broken.  Used.  He is owned and conditioned and very afraid.  We will soon see how his plight and Taehyung's are the same but for now Jimin's mind is so fragmented he is little better than a puppet or a doll.
                                
                              Jungkook.  Jungkook is at odds with himself.  Hiding secrets.  Trying to be strong.  Knowing he has failed.  I think we have forgotten that Jungkook is still very young here.  Not yet 20, so he's still caught between a man and a child - stuck in some of the most formative years of his life still, and he still has some time before he is able to find himself.
                                
                              I am not asking anyone to understand or accept or validate the actions seen here within. You aren't required to like anyone. I just really hope the remainder of this story doesn't drive anyone away before we, the collective members of the Kidnapped team, get a chance to explain.
                                
                              Thank you to each and every one of you,

                              P.S.  Yes there is a lot of build-up to some things and yes some are left carefully glossed over like Yoongi's experience but that doesn't mean we will never see what happens to him (in graphic detail).  It just means we aren't seeing it now because there is so much going on.  In part 2 so many things that we did not see or would not expect happen and come out, like the details of Yoongi's rape.  However many times it happened.
                                
                              There are so many surprises I can't wait to share, but they must all come in their own time, and I know that sucks.
