jm watching as jk, part of the mafia, storms his house and jk being totally confused as to why the man looks so unbothered by it, standing at the top of the stairs with an unfazed expression.

"w-who are you," jk can't help but stutter out with wide eyes.
to his bewilderment, the man doesn't move to sit next to him on the couch. feeling the pressure of the mysterious man's hands on his shoulder,
"congrats on breaking through the door of your own boss, jeon jungkook, code J97."
"so it was always you on the phone?" he manages to croak out.
"you are the mastermind behind all this, giving us all the orders?"
"but what is the point of this mission? why did you order me to storm your own house?" jk wonders quietly, eyes staring straight ahead of him, anywhere but at the gorgeous man who turned out to be his boss.
"i've had my eyes on you for long, jeon," he begins calmly as if he wasn't kissing the soul out of jk just seconds ago.
jk still doesn't get it, though.
"jimin." the man suddenly says.
"excuse me?"
he sighs. "call me jimin from now on. not 'boss'."
he stands up from his seat and struts around jk, halting right behind him to lean down over his shoulder.
"an offer?" jk asks breathily.
"be my right-hand man and you're allowed to call me jimin, allowed to stay with me in this house and allowed to order the others around with me."
jk's eyes widen in disbelief.
"right-hand man?"
"right-hand man, sidekick, partner, call it how-"
he feels jm move in surprise.
"i accept your offer, jimin," jk says, his voice the most confident it had been within that hour.
jm clicks his tongue, though.
"not so fast, sweetheart," he chuckles, making jk turn his face to him with a frown. they're so close again.

Great article from @AsheSchow. I lived thru the 'Satanic Panic' of the 1980's/early 1990's asking myself "Has eveyrbody lost their GODDAMN MINDS?!"
The 3 big things that made the 1980's/early 1990's surreal for me.
1) Satanic Panic - satanism in the day cares ahhhh!
2) "Repressed memory" syndrome
3) Facilitated Communication [FC]
All 3 led to massive abuse.
"Therapists" -and I use the term to describe these quacks loosely - would hypnotize people & convince they they were 'reliving' past memories of Mom & Dad killing babies in Satanic rituals in the basement while they were growing up.
Other 'therapists' would badger kids until they invented stories about watching alligators eat babies dropped into a lake from a hot air balloon. Kids would deny anything happened for hours until the therapist 'broke through' and 'found' the 'truth'.
FC was a movement that started with the claim severely handicapped individuals were able to 'type' legible sentences & communicate if a 'helper' guided their hands over a keyboard.
For three years I have wanted to write an article on moral panics. I have collected anecdotes and similarities between today\u2019s moral panic and those of the past - particularly the Satanic Panic of the 80s.
