Chapter 1
Jimin stared at the pregnancy test in disbelief. No way. No. No freaking way. He couldn’t be pregnant! He just couldn’t! Jimin began to cry just thinking about the implications of it all. Having a baby meant he was stuck. He was stuck with Jungkook for the rest of his life. No way out. No escape. Not anymore. Jimin collapsed onto the floor and began to wail. Why! Why was life so cruel to him! He had been trying to get away for months and now this had to happen?! There was no way Jungkook would let him go now.... but what about their child? Would Jungkook treat it well? Or would he be just as abusive with it? No...no! Jimin can’t have that. He’ll protect the child no matter what. He won’t tell Jungkook he’s pregnant. He’ll hide it and get away. He just needs to leave before Jungkook finds out. Then it will all be ok. His child will be ok. He’s so close to escaping anyway. It will be fine. It has to be. Jimin throws the pregnancy test into the garbage and piles mountains of napkins on top of it. He then makes his way out of the bathroom just in time to see the front door to their spacious loft open and Jungkook walk in. Jimin freezes right where he is already feeling dread and fear seeping into him at seeing Jungkook. But he forces himself to relax and greet the younger.
Jungkook greets him as well as he took off his shoes and coat before walking over to Jimin. He wraps his arms around Jimin’s waist and leans forward for a kiss. Jimin immediately responds to the kiss knowing he doesn’t have much of a choice in the matter. Besides he has to do this in order to keep up his act, in order to appease Jungkook and keep his trust. He just needs to keep up this act for one more day. Just one more day of being the perfect little doll for Jungkook and he’ll be free.
“I missed you,” Jungkook says pulling away from Jimin’s lips and beginning to pepper kisses along Jimin’s cheek and neck.
“You were only gone for a couple of hours.” Jimin starts before adding, “But I missed you too.”
“Hmm, a couple of hours is too long. I can’t stand being away from you for so long. I miss you the moment I’m away. How am I going to leave you alone tomorrow for my business trip?” Jungkook asks as he buries his head into Jimin’s shoulder.
“You’ll live Kookie. It’s only a couple more hours Kookie, four hours will pass by before you know it, and I’ll be waiting right here for you when you get back.” Jimin says but he doesn’t mean it. He isn’t going to stick around. When Jungkook leaves tomorrow, he’s going to leave too. He’s going to leave and go meet up with Taehyung who’s just returned to Korea yesterday. He’s going to tell Taehyung what’s happened since he’s left. Taehyung will protect him. Taehyung will keep him safe from Jungkook. Jimin knows this, he knows if he can reach Taehyung everything will turn out okay, he just needs to get there first.
“You’re right. You’ll be here for me when I come back.” Jungkook mumbles into Jimin’s shoulder holding him tighter.
“Yep.” Jimin lies.
“You and the baby,” Jungkook says holding even tighter and Jimin is silent completely stunned.
“W...what?” Jimin questions completely caught off guard. How did Jungkook know about the baby already?! Jimin had only found out himself less than an hour ago! Jungkook chuckles and lifts his head up to look at Jimin.
“I’m assuming you’re pregnant since you’ve been throwing up a lot lately and you tried to sneak a pregnancy test into our cart yesterday.” Jungkook mused as he looked into Jimin’s eyes for any sign of confirmation.
“Y-you saw? W-why didn’t y-you say anything?!” Jimin squeaked and Jungkook nodded.
“Because you were sneaking it in, I figured you didn’t want to tell me yet and would once you’d confirmed for yourself if you were pregnant or not.” Jungkook replied looking at Jimin expectantly but Jimin remained silent and so Jungkook nudged him, “So are you?... Are we having a child?” Jungkook asks sounding hopeful.
“...no...I’m not pregnant.” Jimin denies hoping he sounds convincing.
“.... are you sure?” Jungkook asks sounding slightly disappointed.
“Y-yes,” Jimin says but fails to keep his voice steady.
“Hmmm...can I see the test?” Jungkook asks.
“I...I already threw it away,” Jimin says hoping Jungkook won’t go digging in the trash can for it. But Jimin knows that’s exactly what Jungkook will do.
“That’s ok, I’m assuming it’s the bathroom trashcan right?” Jungkook asks but it’s a rhetorical question, Jungkook already knows and he lets go of Jimin and walks towards the bathroom but Jimin grabs his hand to stop him looking panicked.
“D-don’t you b-believe me?” Jimin stutters out looking close to tears and this only serves to raise Jungkook’s suspicions. He has to make sure now because Jungkook has always wanted this to happen. He wants Jimin to be pregnant, it’s been his goal to get Jimin knocked up since day one of becoming boyfriends. Jungkook always figured that was the only way he’d get Jimin to stay with him forever. Even if Jimin hated him, he’d stay for their child. And Jungkook knows that Jimin has already begun to hate him so he was in even more of a hurry to impregnate the other.
“Are you lying to me Jimin?” Jungkook asks in a calm voice and Jimin immediately shakes his head denying the accusation.
“Then let me see the test,” Jungkook demands pulling away from Jimin and walking into the bathroom. He noticed all the napkins placed in the trash can and he quickly moves them away searching for the test. He finds it at the bottom and he takes it out to inspect it. When he sees the line indicating that one is, in fact, pregnant, he is elated. Jimin is pregnant! He’s finally going to stay with Jungkook forever! But then reality slaps Jungkook in the face as he realizes that Jimin had lied to him about the baby...did that mean he wasn’t planning to tell him? Was he still planning to leave?!
Just then he heard running and his head snapped to where Jimin had been standing only to see the elder running towards the door. Jungkook growled in anger, throwing the pregnancy test back into the trashcan and rushing towards the door where Jimin is frantically typing in the code to open the door. When had he learned it?! Jungkook had made sure to change it on a regular basis. Before Jimin can open the door, Jungkook grabs him and pulls him away pushing him the floor. Jimin lands with a thud and he lets out a small yelp of pain but Jungkook doesn’t care. Jungkook quickly begins to change the code for the door. He can hear Jimin sobbing behind him but doesn’t turn around until the password had been changed. With a relieved sigh he turns around and glares at Jimin.
“What the fuck do you think you were doing?” Jungkook seethes as Jimin scoots himself away from the younger. Tears streak down Jimin’s face as he begins to plead with Jungkook since he knows Jungkook is angry with him. And angry Jungkook was a bad and abusive Jungkook. He would hurt Jimin without any hesitation and Jimin really doesn’t want to go through another beating, especially now since he’s pregnant.
“Pl-please Ju-jungkookie... I-I didn’t m-mean to upset y-you. I j-just...” Jimin stutters out trying to explain himself, but Jungkook isn’t having any of it. He goes to grab Jimin only for the elder to shoot up and run away from him yet again. Jimin runs towards their bedroom hoping he’ll make it in there and lock the door before Jungkook can catch him. But of course, he doesn’t make it. Jungkook grabs Jimin by his hair and pulls him backward and Jimin begins screaming in pain. Jungkook drags Jimin towards the couch and shoves him onto it. He then climbs on top of Jimin and traps him there beneath his body. Jimin continues to let his tears stream down his face but otherwise remains completely still dreading what’s to come.
“Were you planning to keep your pregnancy hidden from me? Hmm? Why do you know the password to the door? Were you planning to fucking leave me tomorrow? Is that it?” Jungkook asked in anger. Jungkook’s face is stern and harsh, his eyes seem unforgiving, and it terrifies Jimin to no end. Jimin shivers in place staring back into Jungkook’s eyes, his own begging for the younger to have mercy on him, to not hurt him, to forgive him.
“Answer me!” Jungkook shouts at Jimin raising his hand and slapping Jimin harshly across his left cheek causing Jimin’s whole face to turn to the left. Jimin lets out a yelp and more tears spring forward into his doe eyes which he decides to tightly screw shut. He doesn’t want to be there; he doesn’t want Jungkook to hurt him anymore. He wants to leave, he wants to disappear and never see the younger again. He wishes this were all a bad dream, but it never is.
“Jimin I want an answer.” Jungkook seethed out landing another blow to his face and Jimin yelps again crying even more but he refuses to answer. He knows that Jungkook already knows his answer. He’s known since the second time he had hurt Jimin and seen Jimin cower in fear of him.
“What were you planning to do once you left huh? Were you planning to go to the police? Is that it?!” Jungkook rages, his grip on Jimin’s shoulders tightening.
“No!” Jimin screams as he feels Jungkook’s nails dig into his frail skin.
“Then what! What were you going to do!” Jungkook demands to know.
“I w-was g-going to s-see Tae! I j-just mi-missed him! I w-wasn’t l-leaving!” Jimin stutters out, still partially lying about his plans. Jungkook starts choking Jimin.
“Do you think I’m that stupid? You don’t just miss him! You were going to complain about me to him! You were fucking going to ask him to help keep me away from you! Weren’t you!” Jungkook accuses still choking the elder.
Jimin gasps for air trying to pry Jungkook’s fingers off him, his face turns red from the lack of air and he feels like he’s about to faint, but Jungkook finally let’s go. Jimin takes in huge gulps of air trying to get rid of the fuzzy feeling in his head and blurriness from his eyes.
“Why do you keep trying to get away from me?! You’re fucking pregnant now! With my kid! You shouldn’t still be trying to run away! You’re supposed to stop now! You’re supposed to be with me forever! Why don’t you fucking get that!” Jungkook continues to yell out at Jimin, landing blow after blow anywhere he can on Jimin’s body as he utters every sentence. Jimin just cries and screams and begs him to stop, but Jungkook is enraged and can’t stop himself from hurting the other. He doesn’t stop until Jimin is curled up into a ball, and bruises litter most of his small body. The only place left untouched was Jimin’s stomach as Jimin had clutched at his stomach protectively as Jungkook’s blows landed everywhere else on him.
Jungkook lands a few more solid blows to Jimin’s face before he gets up and walks away towards their room. He slams the door shut and Jimin doesn’t need to hear the lock click to know that the younger has locked himself in the other room. Jimin continues to lay curled up on the couch with his hands resting protectively over his stomach. He lays there and cries quietly not wanting Jungkook to hear and get angry with him again. He eventually cries himself to sleep realizing he’s never going to be free of his abusive and possessive boyfriend.
