After finishing their search, all four of them went to the police station. But instead of taking them to the police station, Hoseok took them to his house. Taehyung asked why they were going to his house, to which Hoseok just gestured to them to stay quiet and they complied.

Soon they reached his house and Hoseok led them to his room, where he pushed his bookshelf's side. And to the surprise of all of them, well except Hoseok, a secret door opened. The trio was shocked to see that, they wanted to ask something, but decided to just follow the police officer.

As they reached the secret room, they saw it was the room where Hoseok arranged all his suspects and evidence charts and stuff. There was a longboard where all the suspects and evidence were stuck and marked.

Out of curiosity, the youngest one asked, "What're all these, Hyung? And why are we here?" And both Namjoon and Yoongi nodded, agreeing with Taehyung.

"See the evidence and information, carefully in this part," Hoseok replied and showed them the part.

The trio moved their eyes in the direction Hoseok indicated and furrowed their eyes as they saw that there was all information and evidence regarding human and teen-child trafficking. They were too confused to understand anything. Hoseok noticed that and sighed, before explaining to them.

"This is all the information that I gathered on the recent increasing cases of human trafficking. My investigation shows that people and teens who were kidnapped, are either from N.G.Os or orphanages.

"So, I am guessing, well, let's say that I am quite sure that the children who went missing from Gguk's N.G.O. were also kidnapped by the same person or gang. And as Gguk and Jimin both were researching about it, they might have come across the culprit therefore, they were kidnapped too." Hoseok explained everything to them.

And by the time Hoseok ended explaining, the other males were shocked but they were horrified more, as their lovers were also with others and only God knew what might happen to them. And among them, the worst was Taehyung. Hoseok knew how sensitive the red-haired male was regarding Jeongguk, so he just tried to calm the youngest.

"Guys, please, now instead of worrying and fearing, try to be as strong as possible. Because your partners need you the most, and we all have to find them as well as the other hostages. So please, help me as much as possible. Try to recall every single detail that you know or notice. Let it be unimportant, 'cause even a tiny detail can help us in many ways." The officer tried to boost their courage, as their partners were already in danger, and if they broke down, who would save those innocent beings?

Yoongi noticed Hoseok's effort and he also tried to boost them up, because he could not be weak. He had to be strong. For Jimin, he had to be strong. The same was for Namjoon and Taehyung as well. They could not be weak. Their husband and fiance needed them.

They all started to work and tried to recall every single detail they could remember. Hoseok was trying to contact as many informants as he could. Suddenly, Namjoon recalled something, "Hoseok-ssi, I just remembered something. Shit! How can I forget this? That night before Jin returned home, he called me and said that he had something very important to say. But before he could say, the call had already ended." Namjoon informed gripping his hair in frustration.

"Oh my God! I think even Jin-ssi also knew something." Hoseok gasped.

"I think we should ask Jin-ssi's friend and inquire in N.G.O again. We have to start from the start," Yoongi suggested.

Namjoon and the rest agreed with him and they again went to their destinations. The four males went for the N.G.O. first.

Once they reached there, the officer and the lovers started to inquire every single one, who knew about anything. They continued their investigations until Namjoon spoke up when he saw San, "San, you are here?! How come?!" He asked in confusion.

Taehyung heard this and butt in, "Hyung, you know San-ssi?!"

To which he got a reply, "Of course, I know, he is one of Jin's closest friends." Namjoon informed the younger.

"Hi, Namjoon-ssi. How are you and Jin doing these days?! And what brought you here?!" San asked even before Taehyung could say something more.

Hearing SeokJin's name, Namjoon's saddened which did not go unnoticed by San, so he asked what happened. The blond said everything to him while the black-haired male just comforted him.

They all again went back to their "secret room" to discuss all the information they got.

"So, from what we have got Jin-ssi had left the party earlier than expected but didn't reach home. Jeongguk went out saying he got some information regarding the missing cases and Jimin went to the pharmacy to inquire about the drugs. And at last, they all went missing from the same place. But how?! They all went to different places, right?!" Hoseok explained-asked while writing everything on his suspect board.

"If we notice carefully, all three have a common point - San. But again it's just a coincidence, that San seemed to know them. Argh! This is so confusing!" Namjoon became frustrated.

"Now, the question is how did they even happen to get in the same place before getting kidnapped?!" It was Taehyung who spoke.

"I think we should check the CCTV footage of that particular area," Yoongi suggested.

"I think Yoongi-ssi is right," Hoseok agreed.

"Okay, then what are we waiting for? Let's go and check the footage." Taehyung asked and quickly started to put on his jacket again, only to get stopped by Hoseok, who was looking at him with pity and sad eyes; because he knew what must be the younger one going through.

"Hyung, what are you doing?! Leave me, we have to go! Yoongi and Namjoon Hyungs, what are you guys watching?! Go get ready! We have to go!" The youngest was getting frustrated.

"Taehyungie, it's quite late, we will go tomorrow. Now, go to sleep." The brunette reasoned.

"No, Hyung. How can I sleep when my Ggukie baby must be suffering? Oh, God! Does he even get enough sleep? You know, my baby can't sleep without hugging me, right?!" Taehyung panicked and Hoseok calmed him down and put him on his bed. The red-headed male kept on murmuring about how Jeongguk must be living.

All the males were devastated would be an understatement. It seemed like their lives had no meaning left without their other halves. They could not do anything other than hope for their lovers' wellness and safety.
