ALIGNED BY TIME AND HEART

SLIPPING AWAY (15)

- ' Have you seen Prince Jungkook?'
Hoseok's panicked voice made everyone turn their gaze. It was the next day since that incident in the garden. Everyone was gathered in the living room for breakfast except Jungkook.

- ' What do you mean? He must be in his room. '
Jin stated with a slight confused tone.
- ' No your highness. I've been to his room..no one was there. So... I've found every rooms...but he was not in any. '
- ' Library, Garden, Terrace, pool? Have you went there? '
- ' No Namjoon. '
- ' Then he must be somewhere there. Go find the Garden and pool. Tae, go to roof..and I can look for the library. '
Hoseok nodded and immediately went off. Namjoon also got up and almost dragged Taehyung to go to the roof terrace.

After 10 minutes...three of them came back. None of them could find Jungkook.
- ' He's not here. '
Hoseok said, almost choking in panic and fear.
- ' But...how is that even possible? Where can he go? Namjoon...is there any other part in this house where he might be? '
- ' No Jin..we've searched everywhere. He's really not here. '
- ' My goodness! He..he's missing? From  this house? How? '
Chaeyoung's voice ringed through the room as everyone else was totally silent. No one could understand what would have happened.
- ' Let's find another time...maybe there's some clue or something? '
Jimin said...and everyone agreed. They divided into groups and went to different directions.

After finding all other rooms... Jimin and Taehyung went to Jungkook's room. Everything was in place.

Jimin flopped down on the bed in frustration and sorrow
- ' Where can he go! We were not supposed to go outside... Namjoon hyung clearly said that a few days ago. Then?'
- ' I'm very sorry Chim....but that friend of yours never ever listened to us. '
He also sat besides him. Jimin looked stressed. Taehyung turned to the bedside table to take the glass of water for Jimin...but instead, he found a paper under the glass. He took out and unfold it..but couldn’t understand anything. Some weird signs were scribbled on the  piece of paper.

- ' Uh...Jimin?'
Jimin looked up at him
- ' Hm?'
- ' Do you understand anything of this paper? '
He showed it to Jimin and Jimin took it from his hand. But within a few seconds, his eyes went big. He kept staring at the  paper for a minute which made Taehyung impatient.
- ' Can you read this? What is it? Who wrote it?
Jimin's hand started shaking and with a equally trembling voice he mumbled
- ' Ju...Jungkook... Jungkook wrote this.'
- ' And? What did he write?'
- ' He...he..'
Jimin started sobbing and Taehyung held his hand
- ' What happened Jimin? What's wrong? Jungkook said what? '
- ' He...ran away to get back to his Kingdom. '

Now this is a serious mess!

Where can he go? How can they find him in such a big city?

What new turn will the situations take now that the prince had flew away?
