Jimin could hear the gentle whisper of the breeze and the cheerful chirping of the birds just outside the room. A nature lover at heart he yearned to see the trees dancing with the wind, the birds playing and singing in their joyful symphony.

But he was helpless as the windows were securely locked.

He has everything in this room one could possibly need for daily life but an unbearable monotony has settled over him.

Only the cupboard and washroom were accessible every other part of the room was locked.

Jimin felt like he was suffering a white- room punishment. A sterile cage where he was left to wither with boredom.

A week has crawled since he was brought here. All this time just Aunt Lily visited him to bring meals. It was his brief reprieve from oppressive silence. He wondered why he was kept here just to sit still or have meals. He felt relief that Taehyung hadn't come here from that day.

He snapped out of his thoughts with the sound of the door opening.

Aunt Lily came inside with breakfast. Jimin looked at Aunt.

" Good Morning, Young master" Aunt Lily greeted with smile

" Morning" he said skipping the word 'Good' this morning was in no way good for him.

She served him breakfast he was eating halfheartedly these days he ate little just to keep his body healthy. He was playing wirh his fork when Aunt Lily said.

" Master told you to get ready he have to take you somewhere by noon"

He looked at Aunt " Me" he asked surprised

" Yes"

A lot of possibilities crossed his minds. Is he going to free him? Just this thought make his gloomy mood bright.

He got ready and waited for noon.

At noon, Aunt Lily came to take him. He walked behind her slowly, guessing what awaited him. After descending the stairs, they entered the living room. It was his first time seeing the house, a mansion with great decoration. Crossing the living room, they walked toward a small room.

There, Taehyung was waiting for him, leaning against the door and smoking a cigarette. As he looked at him, he released a cloud of smoke.

" Follow me" he ordered

Jimin looked at him confused but followed anyway. It was a little study.

Jimin looked around Why did he bring him here he thought.

Taehyung pushed a book, and the shelf moved, revealing a staircase behind it. Tae looked at him and signaled for him to follow.

Descending the stairs it was a dark basement. Jimin felt that his heart was sinking with the darkness.

It was pitch dark, and the silence was suffocating. In the oppressive quiet, he could only hear the sound of someone breathing heavily. Taehyung snapped his fingers, and the dark room was instantly flooded with light.

Jimin looked around and saw armed men standing in every corner.

A familiar man, bruised and breathing heavily, was tied to a chair. Jimin's eyes filled with fear and horror as he looked at Taehyung.

Taehyung walked slowly toward the chair, pulling the man's face up by his hair.

Jimin's breath hitched, and his heart seemed to stop for a moment.

Why was he in this situation?

Why was he here?
