Jimin's eyes snap open, as the sharp pain still living in the back of his head breaths among him making his eyes squint, he was covered in a cold sweat, and his heart started pounding while he looked cautiously around the strange room paranoid as horror follows him in the minefield, he blinks his eyes trying to clear his vision the whole room had dim lightening as the silver of moon coming from the window was the only source lit up his sight
Wide-shot eyes stare around and met with nothing but himself, his heart sinks like battleships beneath the waves, terror strikes his head with the violent thunder making his skin writhe in shock, his lips curled low trying to prevent the sobs from leaving his mouth, his breathing gets heavier in panic while he tries to detach himself from the chains around his wrists that were holding him down on the metal chair
A loud whimper left his mouth in the struggle, his body shaking like a windchime dancing in the air while he continuously tries to free himself from the grasp of the chains, seeing your face wouldn't haunt you like that but if it's hanging around the whole room which you aren't familiar with not even in your dreams then it didn't look less frightening than your worst nightmares
And the loud noises he was making invites the ghostly guest over whose footsteps rings in jimin's ears like deathly sirens he quickened his movements but it was of no avail as the tall silhouette was already standing in front of him, and the face that belonged to jimin's daydream looked like a nightmare
Taehyung was looking back at him as pale as a ghost, with chapped dried lips like they haven't felt a drop of water pouring on them for days, with dark eyebags under his eyes which were so cold like every last trace of life had drained out of them and for a moment Jimin felt like he wasn't looking at his lover but a graveyard filled with graves of every death he dies
"Jiminie..."
And there it was life flickering in his eyes while he breathed out his name like he was taking his last breath and wanted to call just one name and it was the one he loves the most yet hurt brutally, Taehyung crouched down Infront of Jimin knees crashing to the ground just like his heart with peace
His hands reached to cup jimin's face but he turned his neck in the other direction not letting the ravenette to even touch him, he bites his lower lips nervously before vocalizing his vain apologies
"Jimin-ah please forgive me"
Jimin wince like it had burned his ears hearing the other calling his name so lovingly like he is laying traps to catch the little deer, "baby look at me please I'm sorry" his voice was trembling like a reed in the winds, he reached for jimin's face again and if there was any space Jimin would've used it to get away from the other's cursing touch
And fireworks pops in taehyung's eyes when his starving fingertips touched jimin's cheeks feeding all the emptiness in him, the blond head clenched his jaw and Taehyung could feel his muscles tighten under his fingers "I missed you more than life, my little dove"
"That's why you caged me here!"
He hissed devastated like a bird flapping its broken wings in a golden cage, "n-no, no Jimin I didn't cage you... i-i just wanted to make you feel my love again" taehyung speaks in his defense covering his sins with an invisible sheet which Jimin snatched away "you are making me feel your love with trapping here like this?" He asked not believing the absurdity act other was pulling on, the apocalypse not only taught him numerous lessons but untied the blindfold off his eyes, and now he is well aware of all the evil tricks sinners like him play on saints like him
"I didn't trap you, min... I just stopped you from leaving me"
eyes brimming with innocence as he speaks so delicately like he will shatter if he raises his voice as he caresses the shell of his cheek with his thumb, the side of his lips curling upwards while doing so, "you are insane taehyung! you are not even realising what you are doing is wrong" Jimin says voice tired from the preposterous doings of taehyung which was causing his head to burst with rage and the fingers grazing his face was making him stand on the edge with frustration overflowing from his mouth
"don't touch me! let me go!"
the tied up boy started shaking his body violently making the other flinch back from him who was ignoring his words like they are not even reaching his ears but no matter how much the blond tries the chains that were holding him were so strong and he was nothing but a weakened in front of them, the river of vulnerability started flowing from his eyes as he let his head fall from exhaustion giving up like a goat under a butcher's knife after feeling every bit of his soul leaving his body with the draining blood
Taehyung's hands fondled his wrists making Jimin snap his head up with the remaining life in him "I said don't fucking touch me!" he screeched eyes filled with loath for the other like they were never tender for him, and Taehyung ignored his screams as if they aren't bothering him even a little bit while he strokes his wrists that were bruised from all the pulling and shaking, a sickening smile never leaves Taehyung lips that creeps the hostage boy
the ravenette leaned and plant a fragile kiss on his wounds and let his lips stay there longer inhaling the shorter's scent like a drug he was craving for so long feeding his addiction while Jimin stared at him with wide eyes the feeling itself was terrorizing the inhumanity in other's acts horrifies him as he tore his gaze from him and looked around anywhere but him
but the walls caging Jimin were not a sight to see either as every wall had his pictures hanging around, some he remembers from back then where they were still together like stars and moon but some weren't from long ago maybe from yesterday or a day before, anxiousness rose within him as fear intoxicated his veins, his legs trembled and gradually lost more of their strength
he wasn't hallucinating things there was someone keeping an eye on him even where no one should see him, the humiliating pictures were hanging high above and he never felt so exposed even when he was forced to lay naked in front of the ravenette and he stared at his body for hours like he was a gold trophy that he succeded, warm tears that were stopped from the rage started blooming again
the shorter male bites back the whimpers trying to escape through his mouth as his eyes travel to the silhouette standing in the corner of the room which caused his body to blench in fear and for some minutes Jimin felt like his self is staring back at him but dead, and it took him some moments to contain his fastened heart and realize it wasn't alive but a made up doll from plastic
every feature of it matched with Jimin's not leaving any detail, the cherry blossom cheeks to rose petals lips, crescent moon eyes with the exact shade of caramel of his iris all paired up with his small button nose, his skin painted in pearl shade with splotches of rouge, wearing his favorite pair of jeans and cardigan, it was his clone
and Jimin wants nothing but to run away from here or erase this atrocious sight from his brain which petrifies him making him unable to move as he looks at the mannequin with frightened eyes, Taehyung looked up at him with a sweet venomous smile plastered on his mole-d lips he tilted his head seeing the frozen Jimin as his eyes followed where he is looking at
his smile reached his eyes thinking his masterpiece stunned his lover "isn't it so beautiful...not as pretty as you but it's the best art I've ever created" he mumbled, pride coated on his tongue eyes mesmerized by the chaotic art he had created that definitely become jimin's nightmare who looked at him in shock and terror
"When you weren't there he accompanied me doesn't he look just like you? but he doesn't talk to me just like you"
Taehyung complained with a pout forming on his lips, Jimin was silent his eyes frantically enlarged and mouth agape, there were no thoughts in his barren land of a mind, what could possibly be worse than this? his lover he has once loved more than the moon could ever love the stars wasn't just a merely manic possessive boyfriend, he was a psychopath— and that wasn't a revelation Jimin hadn't realized before, he was well aware of the abomination this creature was
but never in his worst, wildest, and most gore dreams did he ever picture this, this amount of cruelty painted with love-- but Jimin was far from naive, this time he knew this wasn't love, just like he had realized days ago that what Taehyung did wasn't out of love but insanity just like that, he realized that what this is isn't love it's pure and utmost lack of sanity
no words could ever sum up the disgust that rose up the boy's throat, but then again what he had realized the other day was no way near to what this was, this wasn't just an epiphany of how psychotic Taehyung is, no, this was a realization of how obsessively disgusting Taehyung is and to what limits this boy could go just to fulfill his deranged desires
"This...this isn't love...you never loved me Taehyung"
Jimin muttered, lost in the abyss of his own devastating thoughts to realize the words coming out of his mouth that reached the other's ears like a snapping venom, "don't say that chim" the raged sparks in his eyes as his ones softened warm voice turned into the raging fire "look around can't you see how much I love you! every corner of my world is filled with you and you say I don't love you?" he questioned rumbling like a peal of thunder with bloodshot eyes staring in jimin's soul
"You don't love me Taehyung, you are an obsessive psychotic maniac!" Jimin screamed back veins popping from his neck just like his heart out of his chest not having the courage to bear any more pain the other was causing as his head also gives up holding back the hurricane of rage and anger but in response to the tempest Jimin received a calm whisper like a velvet breeze embracing him warmly
"I'm not a maniac Jimin, I'm a lover.... your lover"
