(Jungkook's pov)

The man kept his words and even took me in secret to show that he has given the money. He made up an accident scene where a truck loaded with oil crashed with a man's car and the oil had spilled and was all over the place. The car was about to burst and whoever near it would have been burnt to death. Then I came and somehow saved the man but was burnt in that car.He even replaced a body with same figure and height of mine. He told one of his fellow member to go as the man whose life was saved by me and gave them 20 million won. My heart clenched seeing my family crying and sad for me but if I missed this chance, I did not know when I would have been able to collect that much money for my father's operation and my family. Sometimes one needs to be idiotic and crazy in life and I did not felt wrong in that. Then that man took me away from my family. I hope now my family will live happily without any further troubles.
I was taken far away from the city and in a small, old building. It looked that the building has stood there for years. It was on a little hill and one can view the whole area of city from there. But the building was hidden with trees so only few can guess whether a building is there or not. A good choice for doing illegal works. At the age of seventeen I sold myself and my family thinks I am dead. But I don't regret it, but on this new journey, I need to save my own skin here.
My hands were tied and i was taken into a cell like basement . There was one more boy in that but from his face he looked that he doesn't give a fuck to who is coming and going. I was thrown like a toy but that guy caught me in his arms and kicked the guy who threw me.
"DON'T YOU KNOW HOW TO TREAT PEOPLE!! WHY DID YOU PUSHED HIM?? " Yelled that boy furiously in his deep voice.
The man who fell down due to the impact got up and was about to say something when the same buffy leader came.
"Is tiger angry, how may I help you? " Asked the buff guy. I don't know why the buff guy was so polite to this guy. But one should if he is that furious. The nickname is perfect -TIGER!!
"Tell your men not to behave like animals in front of me. Or I would beat them that they are unrecognized by you" Said the guy.
The buff guy was angry but did not say anything and pulled the others angrily by collar and closed the cell.

(No one's pov)
"Sorry, if I scared you. My name is Kim Taehyung. What's your name ? " Asked the boy.
"My.. My name is Jeon Jungkook. Thank you for the help. " Jungkook said still a little afraid of the new guy.
"Umm... You don't look like you would willingly end up here. Who forced you? What's your story? " Asked Taehyung. They both sat on the bench in the cellar and started talking and knowing each other.
"Umm.. Nobody forced me. It's odd to listen but yes, I sold myself. " Said Jungkook. As soon as Taehyung heard it, his eyes bulged out and he abruptly stood up.
"WHAT THE... I MEAN WHO WOULD SELL HIMSELF TO SUCH PEOPLE!! " Taehyung shouted a little louder making Jungkook flinch.
"LISTEN TO ME FIRST, DON'T JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS!! " Yelled  Jungkook. In front of Taehyung, Jungkook was true to himself and as he had nothing to loose, he also started becoming fearless.
The yell from Jungkook immediately quietened Taehyung and he sat in the bench again beside Jungkook.
Then Jungkook started narrating his whole story. Taehyung felt a little bad for yelling before but it was understandable because by the way Jungkook told anyone who cares would react the same way.
Jungkook asked Taehyung's story and he also told his to Jungkook.
"I feel that what happened with you was worst than mine. I had no regret in what I did because now I have no one to care. But you have a family you might be worried about them" Said Taehyung while slowly holding Jungkook's hand.
Jungkook smiled and squeezed Taehyung's hand.
"But i think the opposite. At least I had a family who lived and cared for me. But you never saw your real parents, and got mistreated instead. How can my conditions be worse than you? And i don't want to argue on this. Let's talk about something you like. " Said Jungkook.
Taehyung was a little surprised but they talked about some random things. No sooner they were giggling, holding each other like they were friends for a long time.
After a few days, they both thought that the buff guy is nice to them for the time being, but he is not keeping them for free. He must have a motive. So before he makes a move, they need to escape from this place.
"But what if we are caught while escaping? " Asked Taehyung.
"It doesn't matter to me. Being with you till the end is all that i want now" Said Jungkook while protectively holding Taehyung's hand. Taehyung gave a boxy, confident smile and said,
"Live together or die together, never be separated" Said Taehyung and Jungkook nodded with determination.
Jungkook had a far away relative who was a police officer of nearby town and he would be of great help for these two. Jungkook's father and the police officer were childhood friends so Jungkook knew that the man was reliable. Now all they have to do is gather some information about the whole place and then tell all that to the police officer named - 'Ji-Ho'. At night time, when everyone is asleep, they both got up and knocked down the person who always sits in front of their cell and quietly took out the keys from holder. They opened the cell and sneaked out. Somehow, Jungkook took out a notepad and pen stolen from the people who gave them foods and water. Then Jungkook started drawing the pathways they took. Taehyung was fully alert and paying attention so that Jungkook can peacefully draw all the places, and all the illegal materials and other things they are keeping. They both covered almost the whole area. Fearing that they might be caught and they are far from their cell, they went back to their cell. They kept the key in the knocked out man's key holder and locked themselves.
"Phew, now I can breath. But why are the hallways empty today? Generally there are many guards.I thought it would be very risky. " Said Taehyung.
"Hmm..just consider ourselves lucky. By the way I drew the map, not exact but not so bad either, it will help the police and they will belive us. So lets call. " Said Jungkook ready to take the cell phone from the knocked out man lying in front of their cell. But Taehyung stopped him.
"Not today" Said Taehyung. Jungkook looked at him in a quizzical way and raided his eyebrows.
"Even if the police comes, they won't catch the main people and they can come after us even if we are free from here. To ensure our safety they should be behind the bars. I know how police investigations are. Even if the police gets to know about this base,  I am sure before they catch the people , those people will find us. So lets inform tomorrow. Just one more day, okay? " Said Taehyung while smoothly rubbing Jungkook's hand.
Taehyung knew that Jungkook was disgusted about living here but to catch those people was necessary.
They both had grown closer and they both knew they were more than friends. They were peacefully talking when they heard footsteps. Thankfully till that time, the knocked out man confusingly woked up, saw that everything was alright and then again went to sleep. Taehyung and Jungkook saw three men coming with a nasty grin. They looked like hunters hunting for something . They were going to pass through TaeKook's cell but one guy stopped and pulled the two and pointed towards them, mainly Taehyung. They kicked the man who was sleeping and told him to open the gate.
Jungkook was not afraid but only anger showed on his face. Taehyung would not have been if it was not the betrayal of his mind playing all the nasty things his family said and did to him. That developed fear in him and he was cowering behind Jungkook.
Jungkook instantly understood Taehyung's situation but what can he do?
