"We want answers", Hoseok said while he faced Jungkook with a stone cold expression on his face. Jin by his side looked very nervous and intimidated, not wanting to be in the near of the weird island boy. He was hiding behind his husband, playing with his ring and staring off into the direction of the beach.

Jin wondered where Taehyung was and if he was alright. From what they witnessed back where Taehyung suddenly showed up out of the sudden and dragged away by these weird creatures, Jungkook had a massive sort of influence over him. And the way he has been behaving in the boy's near showed them something else.

That Jungkook didn't want them to meet Taehyung ever again, holding him away from the group in a possessive way, as if he didn't want to share him. "Taehyungie always was so pretty and people were running after him, begging him to date them", Hoseok has said with a frown directed at the scene they were watching silently.

"Seems like his charm has taken another one down." Only that this time, the new lover was strange behaved and lived all alone on an island. "I fear he does not want the best for our Taehyungie so we have to find him before Jungkook hurts him", they have decided before waiting for Jungkook's return in order to question him.

They've been suspicious of him since day one and finally, they had a reason to be. And they wouldn't leave Jungkook alone until they got the answers they wanted to have.

"Your friends are as annoying as you were! Questioning me like this! WHEN I HAD EVERYTHING UNDER FUCKING CONTROL!", Jungkook bellowed furiously after diving into the ocean and swimming to where he was hiding his Taehyung, wet body glistening while his claws digged into his scalp, anger eating him up entirely.

His anger was directed at the scared boy trying to scurry away from him. Jungkook screamed at the terrified and now cuffed beauty for almost ruining his plans who was cuffed against the sturdy rocks with iron shackles, a gag violently pressed in between his soft lips and tear strains on his cheeks. He was literally tied to the ground as a punishment for defying Jungkook and scared out of his mind.

"You", the blond growled, slit eyes suddenly switching to the terrified raven exposed to his mercy and helplessly squirming on the ground. "I get where you got that attitude of yours from. They are so annoying! And careful, I can't get them alone to kill them", Jungkook groaned annoyed, walking towards the tied up Taehyung who crawled away with a whimper.

The chain around his wrists was caught, the long end used to roughly pull Taehyung towards his captor. A scream left his lips by this, muffled by the gag and he stared up to Jungkook with wide terrified eyes. "This is all your fault, if you didn't run away they wouldn't have seen you! FUCK! They must sense I'm acting, do you know the troubles you're putting us through? Just because you had to be dumb and defy me! WHY ARE YOU NOT LISTENING WHEN I TELL YOU SOMETHING?!", Jungkook screamed furiously.

"You're just begging me to get killed, isn't that right?! I start to regret choosing you. You're so bothersome and always misbehaving. If it wasn't for that pretty face, I'd hurt you", Jungkook growled, his fury making him say things he didn't mean at all. He in fact was only scared.

Scared that he wasn't going to win this time and losing meant death. Losing meant Taehyung being taken away from him and he wasn't going to let this happen. Not when he was thinking of a wonderful future with the little raven who fit so perfectly to him, who was so pretty, good and innocent.

Jungkook got soft when he saw how Taehyung was who was sobbing loudly and squirming in his hold, trying to rip his tied wrists out of Jungkook's iron grip, claws accidentally digging into his soft skin and creating bloody wounds. Taehyung was absolutely horrified and went putty in Jungkook's arms.

He didn't want to die, he didn't want to get hurt. It was all too much for him, he missed his friends and his home. A home that now have shifted towards Jungkook. The blonde was the only one to see Taehyung, the only one to talk to Taehyung and the raven missed human interaction almost as much as he missed his old life and his friends.

Little sobs and ugly hiccups left his throat while he hid in Jungkook's chest, hiding from this horrible world and this life forced onto him, seeking comfort from even the man bringing the misery upon him. Jungkook was surprised by the sudden change of emotions in his Baby but didn't mind that at all.

He after all has dreamed of the day Taehyung finally would start to love him as well.

"I didn't mean it! I'm sorry for what I said, Beautiful but you have to understand. I'm just fighting for our survival", Jungkook whispered into Taehyung's hair, caressing his trembling back while Taehyung sobbed into his gag, his eyes tightly closed to prevent him from seeing Jungkook. He just wished his life wouldn't have turned out like this.

Jungkook has pulled him more closer, into his protective arms and stroked his hair to calm him down, whispering soothing words into his ear and on one point started to hum a song, a long forgotten melody stuck in his head.

"I'm so sorry", he mumbled over and over again while he scooped Taehyung's light form up and placed the crying male onto his lap, holding him close. "I'm sorry for hurting you, Taehyung. I'm sorry that you're suffering because I've fallen in love with you. But it's too late now. You're part of the circle and I'll do everything so you're safe. I'll protect you, take care of you, my Baby. I'm yours", Jungkook mumbled over and over again.

The words and the little song soon calmed Taehyung down and lulled him to sleep.

Falling into the arms of the one he swore to hate forever. And who he now hated a little bit less.
