"Let them go" Taehyung growled, glaring at the guy pointing a gun at me. He didn't do anything so Taehyung walked over, grabbing my wrist and pulling me behind him.

"Let him go. Now." They glared at each other but eventually Jimin was let go, and he fell onto the floor coughing.

Taehyung went over and picked Jimin up, going straight out of the room with me following.

He took Jimin upstairs to a large bedroom, and layed him down on the bed. I was confused as hell and going crazy but I decided to stay quiet. He saved us after all.

He went quickly to get to get a box, soon coming back. He cut the strap of Jimin's sleeveless top and stared at his shoulder, tracing his hand over it.

I went over and widened my eyes. From his neck going down to his shoulder, his veins had turned a dark purple. It looked extremely painful.

Taehyung bit his lip before asking, "How long has it been since they injected it in him?" "Just before you entered..."

He sighed in relief and quickly grabbed something out of the box. Another injection. "What's that?" "The cure." He got it ready then looked at Jimin who was having trouble breathing.

"How do we trust you?" He looked at me and said, "You have no choice. He'll die otherwise, so put your trust in me." He shook Jimin's shoulder gently and said, "This will hurt a lot, brace yourself."

Jimin bit his lip, turning his head the other way and Taehyung injected the cure in his neck, making Jimin yell out in pain slightly.

Taehyung took the needle out of his neck and put a small plaster there instead. Jimin was panting heavily, with clenched eyes, and I held onto his hand tightly, looking at him with tears in my eyes.

Taehyung sighed and said, "He'll live... I'm not sure how painful it will be though." I nodded still looking at Jimin, and I heard Taehyung walk to the other side of the room.

Jimin's breathing got back to normal and his muscles relaxed, he had fallen asleep.

I then looked at Taehyung who was grabbing his hair in frustration. "Taehyung..." "We'll talk later" he walked out of the room locking it from outside.

I sighed paying my attention back to Jimin, rubbing his hand with my thumb softly. "Please be ok" I whispered and leaned closer to kiss his forehead.

TIME SKIP

"Y/n... Y/n..." I opened my eyes slowly and Taehyung sighed. "You were asleep in such an uncomfortable position. Anyways, wash up. I brought you some clothes."

I got up and took the clothes off him. I then stared at him and he said, "I'll explain everything, go and wash up first." I nodded, going into the bathroom.

It felt so nice to have a shower. I was covered in blood before and it felt disgusting.

Once I freshened up, I went out of the bathroom and saw Taehyung sitting on the edge of the couch by the other side of the room, he seemed deep in thought.

I walked over and sat next to him, looking at him. "I was forced with Jennie... I didn't leave you on purpose..." he said, shocking me.

He looked down and sighed, then said, "That guy who nearly shot you... he's my father." "WHAT?!" I widened my eyes.

"Jennie's father is part of the mafia, he threatened and basically forced me into marrying his daughter. They said they'd kill us, you and Jimin... I had to give in."

His eyes started tearing up slightly and he said, "I couldn't tell you the reason... I wanted to just leave you out of this cruel life... but I couldn't. I-I'm sorry... this is all my f... fault..."

He broke down completely sobbing and I was taken aback, I didn't know what to do. In the end, I turned him to face me gently and hugged him.

He stiffened up at first but then hugged me back, sobbing into my shoulder. "It's ok, I didn't know..." "...N... no... I saw how sad y... you were and how much y... you hated m... me..."

I sighed and ran my hand through his hair. "Of course I'd feel like that... going through a break up is hard... but don't blame yourself, Tae. You were forced into doing it. You must have been going through a lot."

I let him calm down which took a few minutes. Afterwards I pulled back and Taehyung looked straight into my eyes. "Since when were you and Jimin dating?"

"A few days ago" I scratched the back of my neck nervously. "So you faked it? In high school?" "Y... yeah..." He looked down and I felt bad. "I'm sorry..." "It's fine... I get why you wanted to do it."

"He kinda forced me into it" I laughed lightly. "What?" "Well, he confessed that he liked me but then he saw you coming and just kissed me." I shook my head then said, "But I went along with it. I was mad at you at the time."

"At the time?" "...hm?" "Aren't you still mad at me?" "No... you explained why and I understand now."

He smiled slightly and I smiled back, for once I wasn't thinking about him with negative feelings. It felt nice, like a weight was lifted off my shoulders.

But that moment was ruined when the door slammed open. It was Taehyung's father. He walked over, grabbing Taehyung's wrist and pulling him up.

"You. Come with me." He dragged him out of the room, I was about to do something but Taehyung gave me a look as to not to do anything, so I didn't.

TAEHYUNG POV

"What do you want?!" I yelled. My father pushed me against the wall, sending a punch straight to my face. Choking my neck with his hand, I tried to pull his hands away desperately but he only tightened his grip, making my arms fall to the side.

"F...father..." He seemed taken aback that I called 'father' for once. He loosed his grip and muttered a "what?" "P... please... let them go... and I'll do whatever you want..."

"It's too late for that, I warned you right?!" He let go of my neck and pinned my arms to the wall instead. "You don't have to do this... As long as Jennie doesn't tell on her father, it's ok... I'll stop talking to them, so let them go, please..."

He froze, as if taking it in. Taehyung looked at him with pleading eyes, he knew things could turn out well but not by how his father wants it.

"Fine. Let them go, don't ever talk to them again. If Jennie tells, we're all dead." He let go of Taehyung and sighed, looking away.

Jennie, their reason to live or not, was actually standing outside, listening to their conversation. She went to Taehyung's bedroom and opened the door, making eye contact with Y/n.
