[ where did he go? what happened to him? where is the man that he once loved? why can't he find him? ]
↳ vmin.
↳ angst.
taehyung knows he should stop wondering. it has grown dark, but he still searches, wanting, hoping, to find it. find him. he searches the streets, in the stores, alleyways. in parks he has never seen or been to. the cold pierces at his skin like knives and his hands curl around himself in hope of warming up, but it doesn't help as much.
he weakly cries out for his name, blurring out the faces he passes by. they aren't him, so he doesn't need to clear them. his throat is starting to get dry so he gets a drink, thanking the cashier before rushing out into the cold night. he sees the pretty, bright stars and he sighs in content as fond memories pop up.
"baby, what are you doing out here?" the man asks, his arms wrapped securely around taehyung. taehyung giggles at the feeling and hums.
"sorry, but the stars just looked so pretty tonight.."
"it's okay love. just wake me up next time so i can join you. I like how i can see them in your eyes."
"oh~ cheesy hyung!" taehyung giggles once more, learning into the man's chest.
"i love you tae."
"i love you too, hyung."
why did he leave? where did he go? who went with him? where was everyone else?
"excuse me," he weakly called out, grabbing ahold of someone's jacket sleeve. the person let out a short gasp before gently pushing him off of them.
"have you seen-" taehyung stopped. they had no face. it was nothing. a black void. no sound was heard as taehyung continued to stare at the void, watching it start to move around, as if it was trying to suck him in. taehyung backed up from the person and looked around, only to see everyone else with a void like face. the streetlights began to dim and the night sky seem to close in on him and he let out a shriek when dozens of eyes landed upon him.
dozens of voids with eyes, all looking at him. there were no lights, only pitch black. the sky was gone along with the stars and taehyung let out a whimper at the loss of them. he looked down and noticed there were no more streets or sidewalks or stores around him. it was all pitch black. where was he? what is happening? why is this happening?
"hyung.. save me.."
"he can't save you! he left you! left you to rot!" a voice screamed. he shrieked and turned around, looking into another void.
"n-no.."
"he left you. the only man who loved you, seemed to be the one who wanted nothing to do with you."
"n-no!"
"you're so pathetic, even thinking someone like him would love you. you deserve all the pain he gives you."
"w-why? what did i d-do w-wrong?"
"you decided to be yourself. and you should know now that no one wants you to do that. no one likes you."
"he never loved you. he hated you."
"he only felt pity for you."
"he's never coming back for you."
"no.. he will! I-i know he will!"
"liar."
"I-I'm not-"
"LIAR!"

"taehyung! wake up!" a voice sneered as the said boy jolted up. he looked around, panting heavily as he took in his surroundings. the same old gloomy, sad basement he's been in for a few months now. he believes it's almost been a year now.
"jesus kid. i thought you were about to die. and we can't have that, now can we?" taehyung shuddered when he felt metal graze against his cheek when he heard the same husky voice in his ear.
taehyung shook his head as a no, earning a soft 'good boy'.
the boy looked around, his eyes searching. wondering. where was he? taehyung shifted a bit and hissed in pain when the rope that was tied perfectly around his wrists grazed over his other rope burns tightly. he sat silently on the bed, his back against the wall. there was nothing else in there besides a chair that the man would sit on and watch taehyung squirm around, pleading. longing for him to come and save him.
"jimin hyung.. where are you?" he called out weakly, looking around more. the man in front of him hummed and sat down in the chair, a sinister smirk playing on his lips.
"i'm right here baby." taehyung, after months, still didn't believe that the man in front of him, the man that tortured him for hours and listened calmly to him pleading and crying, was the man he loved; park jimin.
but a side of him knows it is him, but just doesn't want to admit it. and he hates it.
he has no idea what happened to his yoongi, or where he went. the only way he can find him is searching deep into his head, until it suffocates him.

Little info uwu
jimin ended up being something taehyung would never want or expect. so he goes into his mind to try and find the jimin he fell in love with but can't find anything. he doesn't want to believe the man in front of him is actually yoongi.
jimin is a serial killer in this and loved taehyung too much to kill him, so he just keeps him captive.
