A little ray of light peeked in the dark room followed by the creek of the wooden door. Two men entered the room amd approached the toddler ,asleep on the dusty old mattress present in the small room.

Dried tears were visible on the child's pink cheeks and his lips moulded in a sad pout. It was evident that he fell asleep while crying. Anyone's heart could have melted seeing the toddler curled in a ball in the center of the mattress. But these two people were heartless and they were hired for being heartless.

One of the men shouted for the toddler to wake from his sleep, but the baby didn't budged.  He harshly pulled him from his arm and threw him on the floor. The child immediately woke up due to harsh contact with the ground.

He was frightened seeing two strangers who were very bad to him, they forcefully snatched him from his mommy when he was playing in the park. And they also slapped him when they were bringing him in this dirty room.

He misses his mommy and he wants to sleep in his bed so that he can keep his lamp on. He was afraid of darkness and these people threw him in the dark room which was feuling his fear. He started crying loudly.  The second man became annoyed and harshly jerked him to be silent but he became more scared and started crying more.  He harshly slapped his back to make him quite,  threatening him and the child stopped crying afraid of more beating.

One of the man finally turned the lights on. They made him sit on a chair.  A camera was placed in front of the chair on a tripod stand. The other man removed his green coloured sweater amd the child shivered with the cold air hitting his small body. He was silently crying not to make noise , otherwise these bad men will hurt him. What he didn't knew was they will hurt him no matter how good he acted.

The other man turned the camera on and moved to stand behind the child and tightly held his arms so that he won't move. Their faces were covered and they were wearing black dresses which made it extremely hard for them to get recognized.

The second one pulled out a knife and showed it to the camera.

The poor baby had his heart thumping badly. The monster pushed the knife  on the side of his stomach causing a large deep cut and blood rushed out out of the wound.

The cry given out by the child could have shook the whole ground but it had no effect on the monsters that were present there.

"MAA...... " he was crying so loudly that surely his vocal cords could have been damaged.
He then slapped the boy who was crying and wailing due to extreme pain in his stomach.

"That would be enough, we don't have to kill him" one of them said and the other stopped. He moved forward and  ended the video and saved it in camera. 

They barely bandaged him and threw a small packet of cookies on the mattress.

"Eat it. We are sure your mother will like the little show we presented" one of the monsters said and they both left the place. This time the lights were on.  But the pain caused the toddler to faint. And he fell on the mattress lifeless.

"MOM SAVE ME!!!! "

"JUNGKOOK"

"HELP MOM"

"OPEN YOUR EYES BABY"

"NO PLEASE....!!!!!"

Jungkook was harshly jerked and he finally opened his eyes.

He woke up two hours later , shouting and crying in his sleep. He was having a nightmare. Thankfully taehyung didn't left his side even for a mini second. So when he saw him cryimg and shouting in his sleep he immediately started to wake him up.

Jungkook opened his eyes after a minute and taehyung saw the utter fear in them.  The same type of fear you will see in a lamb's eyes when its predator is tearing it apart.

"Baby you are with me.  I promise nobody will dare to lay their eyes on you" taehyung cupped his face.

Jungkook was shaking with fear.

"Please save me" he begged.

And taehyung wanted to end the world. His love was begging him to be saved . It made his anger worse.

"Jungkook. I will end every single person who will  dare to think about hurting you. I will ruin them and they will beg to be killed to get out of their misery. I promise you. you don't have to worry. Nobody will touch you ever again" taehyung said with determination and jungkook felt it. He calmed a little.

Jungkook moved forward to tightly hug taehyung. Inhaling his perfume that was soothing his mind. Taehyung picked him up and now he was in his lap , straddling him.

His arms wrapped tightly around taehyung,  whose hands were firmly gripping his waist.

Jungkook felt safer than he had ever felt before. Taehyung leaned back a little so that his back was laid against the headboard and junkook was still in his lap hugging him like a baby will hug you when they are afraid someone might drop them.

"You can go back to sleep Love I'm always here. So you don't have to worry about anything." Taehyung said  kissing his temple and gently running his fingers on his back. Being mindful of not to hurt his bandaged injuries.

He kept on pampering him and saying sweet words to him. Reassuring him that he is perfectly safe now. Kissing his temple and forehead from time to time. Gently rubbing his back and thighs to relax him. And jungkook believed him. He knew he was safe now. So he closed his eyes,  enjoying the feel of being so close to taehyung and his hands running gently on his body.

He fell asleep laying in the lap of his Savior, his mind finally at peace.

-

Taehyung was relieved that jungkook had fallen asleep again. He slightly moved and laid on the bed jungkook on top of him sleeping with no care in the world. Taehyung admired his features from a closer look. He closed his eyes for some moments,  his mind filled with thousands of things at a time

-

One more hour has passed and the door of his room opened. Taehyung immediately parted his eyes and he saw yejin and miri entering his room. Miri was looking devastated. His eyes were red and swollen . It was clear she has been crying. She moved forward and sat on the edge of the bed. Seeing his baby wounded broke her heart. She didn't made any move to wake him. Just silently cried seeing him sleep like a baby.

Taehyung gently laid jungkook on the bed being careful not to wake him. He covered his body with a duvet and got down from the bed. He moved towards miri and sat on his knees in front of her.

Gently wiping her tears with his thumb.

"I'm sorry he is hurt. I promised you i will always save him. But it won't happen ever again" he said to her and miri broke in tears. She knew how much taehyung was hurting and here he was consoling her.

Taehyung hugged her. After sometime he stood up and held miri's hand.

"Mom please stay with jungkookie,  I have to talk to mum" he said and yejin nodded.

Taehyung and miri left the room and yejin moved forward to sit beside a sleeping jungkook. She slightly patted his hairs and affectionately looked at her other son. Even though she didn't give birth to him. Jungkook was as dear to her as taehyung.

-

Taehyung brought miri to another room. He gave her a glass of water and made her sit on the sofa. Then he sat beside her.

"I need to know everything and you will tell me. Why you left us,  why you lied to jungkook and every single thing that you have been hiding from us,  i need to know everything" taehyung said.

"I c-can't" miri whispered, her voice broken.

"I will save yoongi. I have already gathered every evidence and they will be forced to release him, you don't have to be afraid of anyone Mum. Your son is here and you know i will never let anyone hurt you , yoongi and jungkook"

"Taehyung I'm so sorry. I lied to jungkook and you were hurting because of me. I'll tell him the truth" miri said cupping taehyung's face.
And taehyung nodded.

"You better tell him,  otherwise he will make me the villain" taehyung huffed and miri laughed at him.

"You know he already likes you" Miri informed.

"I know. I can see past him. No matter how much he will pretend to hate me. He can never do that" taehyung bragged.  And miri smiled.

"Mum"

"Yes"

"What happened to jungkook.  Why he had this huge mark on the side of his stomach" taehyung asked in a serious tone.

"H-he fell f-from stairs when he was little" miri lied.

"You know I'm a criminal lawyer  and i know what kind of weapons inflict these kind of marks"

"Who caused it" taehyung said darkly.

And Miri couldn't keep it in her heart anymore. She will have to tell taehyung everything.

•••
