FORGOTTEN

Chapter 22

Jin paced the living room with his phone in hand. His nerves were shot. His sweet TaeTae was with that psycho. The same psycho that was holding their precious ChimChim. The eldest fought the urge to break down and sob; how he wanted his precious baby in his arms, safe from harm. His phone dinged. A text message from Suga.

Suga: We have eyes on the boys. Unfortunately, Ji-hoon is with them. Still waiting to hear from
             Joon.

Jin: Thanks for the update. Please keep my TaeTae safe. 

Suga: You have my word. I'll bring them both home safe.

The sobs broke free, and Jin dropped to his knees and screamed in frustration and fear. As much as he wanted to believe Suga, his mind went to the worst outcomes.

Joon tapped on the window and waited for Jimin to look up. Nothing. He tapped again. This time Jimin stirred. He looked up but did not see Joon, but Joon caught sight of Chi8m's face. His jaw clenched, and he fumed. His Chim's face was battered and bruised. He calmed himself so as not to scare the younger. 

Once again, Joon tapped the window, and finally, Jimin looked toward the window. His face lit up like a child's on Christmas morning. Joon raised a finger to his lips, signaling Jimin to stay quiet. Ji-hoon had been gone for at least ten minutes, but Joon wasn't sure if someone else was in the house. Better safe than sorry Slowly and quietly, Joon opened the window. Nothing happened. He climbed through the window easily and stood next to Jimin in a moment. 

"I hoped you guys would come looking for me," Jimin whispered, the relief in his voice pulled at Joon's heartstrings. "I wasn't sure you would want to find me now." 

 "Baby, we will always come looking for you." He placed a chaste kiss on Jimin's forehead. Jimin blushed a pretty pink and looked down at his shackled wrists. "Don't worry; we'll get you out soon." 

"Ji-hoon could be back any second!" Jimin hissed. 

"Nope," Joon grinned at the younger. "At this moment, he is busy trying to kidnap Kook." 

"What the fuck, Joon-hyung?" Jimin shrieked. The two froze, but when no noise came from outside the room, they realized they were safe. Joon pulled his phone out and dialed Bang P.D. this was gonna end sooner than later. 

------

"Get your people in there and Jimin out of the damned chains!" Bang P.D. ordered the stunned police officers. Six of them rushed into the house equipped with bolt cutters and first aid kits. Within minutes Jimin and Joon were both out of the house, and Jimin was being loaded onto an ambulance. 

"I'm fine! I don't want to go to the hospital," Jimin insisted over and over again. 

"Jimin, baby, please humor us." RM sighed. "If you are fine, then the doctors will release you, and you can come home. Okay?" 

"Fine," Jimin nodded. "But what about Kook? Is he okay? And I want Tae and Jin-hyung to meet me at the hospital." Joon laughed at the excited man. 

"Calm down, Chim, I'm calling Jin-hyung right now." he ruffled Jimin's hair and dialed Jin's number while the EMT's closed the doors and drove off to the hospital.

-----

"Where are the cops?" Yoongi groaned quietly. 

"Right here," Officer Lee tapped Yoongi's shoulder.

"FUCK!" he hissed. "You scared the hell out of me!" The officer ignored Yoongi's theatrics. 

"Wher is the suspect?" Lee asked. J-hope chuckled before answering. 

"Ice-cream shop," J-hope pointed at the building. "He has J.K. and Tae with him."

"Tae? Who is Tae?" Lee frowned.

"One of our band members, why?" J-hope asked. 

"We were told there was only one potential hostage!" Lee snapped at them. 

"Plan's changed," Yoongi shrugged. 

-----

"What are you saying?" Joon screamed into the phone. Jimin stared wide-eyed at the frantic leader. 

"Mr. Kim, we need you to calm down, please!" one of the EMT's shouted at Joon, trying to be heard over the stream of curses coming from the furious leader. 

"We had no choice," Jin sobbed. "Believe me, I didn't want Tae to go, but I was overruled as always."

"DAMNIT! I gotta go; please just get to the hospital and meet Jimin." Joon ran a hand through his hair. 

"Okay," Jin sniffled.

"Jinnie-hyung?" Joon sighed. 

"Yes, Joonie," Jin hiccuped. 

"I love you."

"I love you too," Jin sobbed as Joon ended the call. "Get it together," he hissed at himself before he washed his face and headed to the hospital.

------

"Well, that's all," Ji-hoon handed a foam cooler with their ice-cream treats to Tae, who beamed at him. 

"Ooo, you trust me with the ice cream?" Tae squealed. Ji-hoon smiled at Tae and stroked his face. 

 "Of course I do; you're my big boy," Ji-hoon baby talked to Tae. "You can carry ice cream for daddy!"Tae smiled and nodded happily. Before Ji-hoon could move, Tae was skipping off with his treasure.

"Tae! Wait!" J.K. shouted. Moments later, Ji-hoon and J.K. watched in horror as a man dressed in black snatched Tae off the sidewalk and pulled him into a van before speeding off. "Ji-hoon hyung, do something!" J.K. screamed.
