BABY ?

Jin smiled as he stirred his tea, 'I think he's cute'
'That's what you were thinking when he broke a vase?'
'It's an old vase'
'It's an expansive vase'
'Since when did you start caring about money?' Jin raised a brow and Jungkook scoffed, 'I'm just saying, Tae said he caused another accident in the kitchen and Jimin almost lost it'
'Jimin has always had a temper' Jin sipped his tea and Jungkook raised a brow at him, 'is he that cute?'
'You haven't seen him have you?'.

Jungkook shrugged, 'I really don't care, I have bigger things to worry about'
'Danny?' Jin asked and he noticed how the younger avoided his gaze.
'Jungkook-'
'I don't want to talk about it hyung'
'You're going to explode if you keep bottling things up'
'I was at fault, I messed up, end of story'
'Jungkook you-'
'Fuck!' Jungkook's eyes widened and Jin looked up to see him looking out the window.

Jin got up and walked to stand beside him.
'Shit'
'What the hell is he doing there?' Jungkook was about to run out of the room when Jin stopped him, 'look'.

The younger stopped to get a better look and blinked in surprise, 'are they... playing with him?'.

Hoseok fell back on the cool grass giggling as the dogs licked his face. They were so cute and friendly. He wasn't sure why they hadn't attacked him, because these were obviously demon dogs. He had seen them in pictures before and always been scared of ever seeing one.

But when he didn't move after they circled him, the first one came close and sniffed his hand. He was scared because dogs hated cats. But then he saw the collar, 'Daemon and Damien'.

All he did was call their names and they began licking him. It felt so good to be liked in this place. He was soon giggling and rubbing their ears, even if they were almost as tall as he was. They barked and jumped around, making him stand up and run around with them. He even fed them his gummies, which he wasn't sure they wanted, but they had accepted it when he pouted.

'You're my new best friends' he grinned rubbing their backs as they sat beside him.
And that was how he spent the day playing with them and running into the mansion, and into the meeting room behind the dogs.

**

'I gave you one instruction'.

Hoseok looked down at his fingers. He was visibly trembling and wasn't sure what to say.
Namjoon was glaring at him, his nails digging into his palm. While Taehyung, Jungkook and Jimin were standing around.

Hoseok coming into the meeting room had disrupted an ongoing meeting and scared the shit out of the guests. Namjoon had been trying to close a major deal and was almost successful. But the dogs had not just scared the men, they had almost attacked them.

If Namjoon and Taehyung were not in the room. It could have gone really bad.

'I'm sorr-'
'Don't you fucking dare' Namjoon was furious, and he was not trying to hide it.
'What were you doing?' He asked calmly and Hoseok gulped, 'I was... playing... with the... dogs'
'Playing' Namjoon repeated and Hoseok could hear how angry he was, 'he was fucking playing!' Namjoon slammed his fist on the table in anger and Hoseok jumped back.

'Take him upstairs' Namjoon said and the guard turned to Hoseok, leading him out of the room.

Namjoon groaned and sat down, while Jimin stepped forward, 'I'll call them back, it won't make sense for them to back out now'.
Namjoon nodded and Taehyung turned to Jungkook, 'was he playing with Daemon and Damien?'
'That's what it looked like'
'How is that even possible?' Namjoon asked with a sigh, 'They're literally mean to anyone they meet, they're demon dogs'
'I thought they would rip him apart when I saw them from the window, but they were playing'

'Just keep him in his room for now. I'm too mad to deal with him' Namjoon said and Taehyung nodded.

**

Hoseok whined as he hit the door again. He had been locked in for almost 3 days since the incident. How could they treat him like this?
He was wrong, but it wasn't intentional.

He hit the door with his foot again and winced. He hopped back to his bed on one leg.
'Ow! Ow!' He took off his socks and massaged the foot. How long could they keep him in here?
He had considered screaming at the top of his voice, but he was trying to avoid more punishments.
Hopefully the next servant that brought his food would let him out.

And they did.

He was so happy when the guard said he could go outside.
Except, he kind of got lost after that. He had wanted to go back to the lake where he had seen the dogs, but somehow he had ended up in a garden.

It was a really huge and beautiful garden with all kinds of flowers. He sat down admiring the roses, and suddenly he was feeling lonely again.

An idea came to him and he began picking some of the flowers, tying them together make a necklace.

'What the fuck are you doing?'

Hoseok shut his eyes and cursed himself in his head as he stood up. He was afraid to turn around because he already knew he was in trouble.
Damn.
He had just been let out and he was about to be locked up again.

'Are you deaf? No fucking way' Yoongi walked past him, his eyes widening when he spotted the flowers that were picked and tied up, 'You've got to be fucking kidding me'. Yoongi turned back to him and Hoseok's eyes widened when he saw the man's eyes were glowing red.

'I didn't kn-AH!' Hoseok screamed as he was slammed against the wall. He could feel a wave of pain go through his back as he fell to his knees.
'You have exactly 5 seconds to get the fuck out of my sight'.

The younger didn't want to test Yoongi's anger. He had no doubt this man would kill him immediately. So he stood up and ran back the way he came, hoping he was going the right way.

He sighed in relief when he was back inside the mansion. He slowly walked up the stairs to his room, ignoring the worried looks the servants were giving him.

When he got back to his room, he got under his blanket and cried his eyes out.

**

Hoseok hadn't cried in a really long time. The last time he cried was when he was taken from his family and sold off during the war. But then he was barely a teenager, and he had convinced himself that crying never helped.

But last night had been the worst experience he had faced in a long time.
And when he woke up, he had a headache and his eyes hurt.

He sat up in the bed and winced.
His back hurt like hell.
