Hoseok's POV:
I blinked just outside the apartment right before Yeonjun came out to where Jimin was being held. I noted the apartment number - 913. I quickly blinked to Yoongi's location and told him that I found Jimin.
Hoseok: Grab our cousins and head back to the garden.
Yoongi: Uh-uh. I'm staying here until we get Jimin back.
Hoseok: Okay, meet me back at Jungkook's. But get word to them to go home.
Yoongi: Will do.
Then I blinked back to Jungkook's place. He was awake and pacing around his living room. I popped back to human size to talk to him.
Hoseok: I found him.
Namjoon: Why didn't you bring him back?
Hoseok: For some reason, I couldn't get in his cage.
Jungkook: Cage?!
Hoseok: And then Yeonjun started coming into the room, so I blinked to the hallway and got the apartment number.
Jungkook: And what is it?
Hoseok: 913.
Jungkook: Ok, let's go get Jimin back.
Just then Yoongi appeared.
Jungkook: Who are you?
Hoseok: This is my brother, Yoongi. He was helping us search apartments.
Jungkook: Oh. Thanks!
Yoongi: Nice to meet you.
Jungkook: You too. Umm, let's go!
Yoongi: Should we blink back over there and make sure he doesn't leave?
Namjoon: Good idea. I'll ride with Jungkook.
Jungkook: It will take us about 15 minutes to get over there.
Hoseok: We'll be waiting for you.

Jungkook's POV:
I can't believe they let me sleep for 4 hours. I felt like crap when I woke up and looked at the time. I ran out to the living room and Namjoon explained the situation to me. So I made some coffee and got both of us cups while we waited. Then I began pacing around the room. Namjoon kept looking at me nervously, but I couldn't help it. I was a bundle of nerves and was about to go crazy.
Then Hoseok came back and told us that he found Jimin, but that he was in a cage?! I was so mad at Yeonjun. I was driving very aggressively and Namjoon was looking concerned.
Namjoon: You'd better slow down. I imagine cops still give out speeding tickets, right?
Jungkook: Yes. But I don't care right now, I need to get Jimin.
Namjoon: He's going to be ok. You need to not get us arrested before we get over there.
Jungkook: I guess you're right. I'll slow down some.
Ten minutes later we arrived at the apartment complex. Luckily I found a parking spot right out front. We ran into the complex and took the first available elevator to the 9th floor. I almost ran up the stairs, but Namjoon grabbed my arm and tried to get me to calm down.
Once on the 9th floor we ran to where Yoongi and Hoseok were waiting. I could hear Yeonjun screaming at Jimin.
Jungkook: I need to break down the door.
Yoongi: Let me pop in there and open it from the inside for you.
Namjoon: Be careful.
One minute later the door opened. Yeonjun was now screaming at Yoongi.
Yeonjun: Who the hell are you? What are you doing in my home?!
I burst through the door and confronted Yeonjun.
Yeonjun: You can't have him back. He's ruining everything between us!
Jungkook: There is no us, you psycho. There never was an us.
Namjoon, Hoseok and Yoongi were trying to get Jimin out of the cage, but there seemed to be a lock.
Namjoon: Where's the key?
Jungkook: Give me the key to unlock that cage!
Yeonjun: No! He's my leprechaun now, and you can't have him.
Jungkook: He's not a leprechaun.
Yeonjun: I'm not letting him out until he gives me his gold and agrees to stop seeing you.
Jungkook: Neither of those things are going to happen. Now give me the key!
Yeonjun: No!
Namjoon: We can probably break into this with some wire cutters.
Jungkook: Ok, let's just take him with us.
Yeonjun wrapped his arms around me.
Yeonjun: You're mine. Don't leave me, Jungkook. I'll let him go with his leprechaun friends if you stay.
Jungkook: I'm taking him and leaving. There's nothing you can do to stop me.
And get off of me.
He still had his arms wrapped around me and was not letting me go. I finally had enough and head butted him. I heard his nose crack and the blood started flowing immediately. He brought his hands to his face and that was our chance to leave.
Namjoon had the cage and we all left hastily.
Twenty minutes later we were back in my apartment. I was gazing into the cage looking concerned at Jimin while Namjoon rifled through my toolbox looking for cutters.
Jungkook: We'll get you out of there, Jiminie. Hang tight.
Jimin: You came for me.
Jungkook: Of course. I'll always come for you.
Namjoon: Found them.
He made quick work of the wire mesh and peeled it back so Jimin could squeeze out. Jimin then changed to human size, even though he was exhausted. He wrapped his arms around me. I picked him up and carried him to the couch, pulling him into my lap.
Jungkook: You're safe. I've got you.
Tears were streaming down his face. Hoseok was petting his hair, trying to help calm him down.
Namjoon: Yoongi, can you take me back to the garden. We should let Jin and Tae know that he's safe.
Jungkook: Thanks for your help. Both of you.
They both nodded to me and then Yoongi grabbed Namjoon's hand and blinked away.
I was wiping the tears from Jimin's face and rocking him in my lap.
Jimin: I wasn't sure I'd ever see you again. I thought he was going to kill me.
Jungkook: I know, I'm sorry you got tangled up with him. It's all my fault.
Hoseok: No it isn't. That guy is clearly deranged.
I'd been calming Jimin down for several minutes when there was a pounding on my door.
???: Open up. It's the police.
Jungkook: What the ...?
You two should hide. Be prepared to go quickly back to the garden if it's Yeonjun.
Hoseok: Come on Jimin.
Jimin: I want to stay with Kookie.
Jungkook: It's ok, but I need to answer the door before they break it down.
Please hide with Hoseok. I'll be right back.
When I opened the door, two police officers were standing there. Yeonjun was behind them with dried blood caked around his nose and down the front of his shirt.
???: Is this the man that hit you?
Yeonjun: Yes, that's him.
???: Sir, you are under arrest for assault.
