Taehyung stared at the elder with wide eyes and mouth hanged open. It didn't make sense, why would parents would want to torture their own son? And what did Taehyung do wrong to get kidnap him like that?

"W-Why?" He gathered all his courage to ask. JunSeo quinted his eyes

"I like V" 9 year old Jimin said to the family. His father looked at him in digust

"I thought I told you not to be friends with that kid," He said sternly. 19 year old JunSeo stood beside Jimin while eyeing his brother and father. Jimin pouted

"Why not? He's nice," His mother didn't look so pleased

"Jimin, the financial stage difference is just too much," she stated. The youngest tilted his head in confusion

"What's financial difference?" He looked at his brother who looked a little uneasy. JunSeo hummed, trying to think on how to explain it a little simplier

"They're saying that Taehyungie isn't as rich as us, so you can't hang out with him," JunSeo was digusted by what was coming out of own lips. Why did financial statuses matter so much? Jimin furrowed his eyebrows

"That's stupid!" Jimin shouted and the next thing he knew was a his mother's hand that had slapped him. JunSeo stared at his brother in horror, pulling him closer

"What was that for?!" JunSeo shouted at his parents, Jimin crying in his arms. His parents just looked at him with anger burning in their eyes

"You're not allowed to hang out with Taehyung anymore. Do you hear me, Jimin?" His father called out. Jimin turned his head and met with his father's eyes

"No," Jimin replied simply

"What did you say?" His father raised an eyebrow at how brave his son was

"I said, No dad. I will continue being friends with V. I like V, he makes me happy," Jimin wrapped his arms around JunSeo's neck making the elder carry him and made their way to their room, leaving their parents in the living room. Just before JunSeo closed the door, he heard his parents voices

"We need to get rid of him," his mother said, sending shivers down JunSeo's spine as he closed the door behind him

"I'm sorry, Taehyung. We didn't know they'd go as far as to kidnap you," JunSeo spoke, looking at Taehyung's shocked expression. Taehyung stared at the elder as he was trying to get everything together, he couldn't believe what he was hearing. When another memory came to his mind, Taehyung choked

"Then... was the week before the fire... your parents..." Taehyung trailed, JunSeo tensed at the younger's words

There was a loud thud downstairs at Taehyung's house, waking up the whole family. Taehyung walked to his brother's bed and pulled on his sheet

"Hyung did you hear that?" 10 year oldTaehyung asked when another loud sound could be heard. Daehyun quickly got up

"Stay behind me," 15 year old Daehyun pulled Taehyung behind him as he opened their bedroom door. Coincidentally their parents were also making their way downstairs. The whole family made their way downstairs, Taehyung taking a peek at the clock 7am. They looked aroun d the living room but didn't see anything or anyone. Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows in confusion when he thought he saw the front door open. While his parents and brother were busy looking around, Taehyung made his way towards the door. A loud yelp came from his when someone wrapped an arm around his neck with a gun near to his head

"TAEHYUNG!" Daehyun shouted, gaining their parents attention. The gun was dangerously close to the younger's head

"What do you want from us?" His father asked, holding his mother and Daehyun behind him. The man had a mask which just covered his mouth and nose

"I just need to kill your kid, nothing else," the man said. Tears following down Taehyung's cheeks, it hasn't even been a month since the kidnapping yet he had face another maniac

"V, are you ready for-," Taehyung's eyes widen. No, no, no, no, he thought. Jimin was here, they were suppose to go to sch
