Taehyung walked into the enormous headquarters of ASTRO, the organization's name displayed boldly across the top of the towering building.
He was dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit, his hair combed neatly backward, revealing his sharp features and making him look every bit like someone who belonged among the powerful.
As he walked through the hallway, workers and heavily armed bodyguards immediately bowed.
“Good morning, sir.”
“Good morning, Taehyung.”
Taehyung barely acknowledged them as he continued toward the chairman's office.
He reached the enormous wooden door and pushed it open without knocking.
Inside, an older man sat behind a large desk, his fingers intertwined as he stared thoughtfully at the documents in front of him.
Taehyung immediately bowed.
“Uncle.”
“Sit.”
Taehyung took the chair opposite him.
Hyun Woo picked up his coffee and took a slow sip before looking at him.
“So, tell me. What have you found out about Jungkook during your stay with him?”
“Nothing yet.” Taehyung's hands tightened beneath the table. “But if I get close enough, I'll be able to find Jimin's body.”
Hyun Woo nodded approvingly.
“Good work.”
He took another sip.
“And how is the host, Park Jimin? Is he doing well?”
Taehyung's hands curled into fists.
He hated hearing Jimin referred to that way. Still, he forced himself to nod.
“He's fine.”
“Take good care of him, Taehyung.”
Hyun Woo's voice became serious.
“You know he's our only hope of fixing our JM.”
Taehyung's eyes lowered.
“And keep an eye on Jungkook. We don't know what his next move will be.”
There was something in Hyun Woo's voice when he mentioned Jungkook.
Something deeper than hatred.
Something personal.
Taehyung's brows twitched. He had wondered about it for a long time.
Why did his uncle despise Jeon Jungkook so much?
Why was Hyun Woo so determined to find him?
And why did he know so much about what happened to Jungkook?
A horrible thought entered Taehyung's mind.
Could his uncle have been involved in Jungkook's kidnapping?
Taehyung immediately pushed the thought away.
No.
It couldn't be.
“Uncle…”
Hyun Woo raised his eyes.
“Do you perhaps know Jeon Jungkook from a long time ago?”
The older man's brow lifted.
“Why would you ask that?”
Taehyung hesitated. “It's nothing.” He forced a small smile. “Forget I asked.”
