Chapter Eighty-One

THIRD PERSON's POV

7:45 PM. It's been almost half of the day.

The raven opened his eyes, sillage lingering around his nose. He tried to stand up, only for him to fall back followed by a crack on his back. His hand went to massage his shoulder, soft groans leaving his lips. He was sleeping in an uncomfortable position, everything hurts.

Taehyung swings his legs to the side of the couch, holding his temple. He felt nothing around him, only his presence was left in the room.

"Love?" he called him out, but no one answered. Silence just filled the four corners of the room, deafening quietness hurting his ears.

The older stood up and looked around. Right, he's alone. No one's here which scared him.

"Jungkook.." whispered Taehyung and barged out the room, slamming the door shut. He ran towards his office and checked if he's there, but no one. He found nothing but a messy place.

This warm feeling around his chest is making him feel uneasy. Where did he possibly go?

He didn't waste any time and went to his sister's office. He even bumped into some people because of the rush, but he didn't care. He felt incomplete seeing no one beside him earlier.

Knocking, a faint "come in" was heard inside. He rotated the doorknob and saw Taehee with Young-hee, focusing on their phones with opened snacks on the table. Both women stared at him in confusion.

"Did y'all saw Jungkook going somewhere? He's...not in the room when I woke up." he almost whispered, seeing them look at each other.

"You look wasted, man," Taehee commented, examining her little brother looking like something exploded right into his face. The necktie isn't fixed and hair strands unevenly standing up.

"I haven't seen Jungkook. We're here the rest of the day," she answered, Young-hee nodding afterward.

"Yeah, same here. I haven't seen him. If he's around then we'll let you know." the other replied. Taehyung got disappointed with their answers, he hoped too much that he'll be here or probably somewhere near.

He sighed deeply and forced a smile. "Thank you, guys. I'll go ahead now."

"Fix yourself, Taehyung. You look like a mess." his sister exclaimed at him before he closed the door. He nodded, shutting the door closed.

Minutes of wandering around the building, he found no Jungkook. He even asked the guards, the people around, even employees who just got into the building. They do have security cameras, but the place was too crowded that it's impossible to spot Jungkook.

He kept barging into random rooms, totally not caring this time. His chest kept tightening and many whispers have started giving him anxiety.

He left you.

He doesn't want you anymore.

You hurt him.

Taehyung shook his head, removing thousands of thoughts lingering around his mind. He then frustratingly tugged his hair with his fingers and helplessly stood up outside the building, no signs of Jungkook beside him.

A tear fell from his eyes as soon as the rain started filling the area. His knees gave up, making him fall from the wet ground.

"Mr. Kim, please come here quick. It's raining!" demanded one of the guards, but he acted like he didn't hear it. He just stared at the ground, slowly losing it.

He felt a tap on his shoulder, seeing the guard covering his self from the rain with his hand, worriedly looking at the wet CEO sitting on the ground.
