"Taehyung... Taesoo is missing."
The phone nearly slipped from Taehyung's grasp. "W-what?" he croaked, convinced he must have misheard her. But her words remained unchanged, stark and horrifying.
"Someone has kidnapped her. They're after me, but they used my daughter as bait—I don't know— I had no idea—" Sri's voice was frantic, rambling, and laced with fear.
The air felt like it had been knocked from his lungs. Taesoo was his most precious gem—his daughter. How could this be happening? He was away from his family, in Korea of all places. He should have turned down the trip. He should have stayed with them. He should have protected his family. Regrets swirled in his mind, but there was no going back.
A sniffle broke through the chaos on the other end of the line. Sri was crying. Hearing her sobs after so long made his heart ache. He knew she was an expert at hiding her emotions, but this time it was different. This was her daughter—their daughter, the light of their lives.
He needed to be strong for both of them. He had to act like a responsible father. Composing himself, he asked, "Where are you right now?"
"I-I'm in the forest. I came to find—"
"What the hell are you doing there alone?! Go back to the house! I'll be back by evening!" Taehyung's voice rose in panic. How could she have gone there by herself?
"No, don't! They'll target you too! I can't lose both of you!" Her voice was urgent, almost pleading. Taehyung's heart clenched at her words. She was scared and vulnerable, and he wasn't there to console her. He couldn't hold her, couldn't provide the comfort she desperately needed.
"Take a deep breath and calm down," he instructed, his tone softer now. He heard her shaky breaths as she followed his advice. "Again." Another exhalation broke the tension, and he continued, "Now listen to me very carefully. Don't panic. The Soojung I know is much stronger than this. Go back to the apartment and wait for me. I'll be there in a few hours. We'll figure this out together. Our daughter is okay. We will get her back safe and sound."
"Taehyung, you're not getting it! They're dangerous! They've taken her to Korea!"
"How can you be sure?"
"I just know! I'll explain when I get there. I'm coming."
"Soojung, no! You can't. The police will arrest you!"
"Do you think I care?!" Her sudden scream pierced through him, and he winced. After a moment of shuffling on her end, she added, "I—I'm sorry. But trust me. I can manage."
"Fine. I'll pick you up from the airport." He ended the call, knowing he couldn't argue with her. She had a lead, and they needed to act fast.
Taehyung tossed his phone onto the bed and leaned heavily against the wall. Just when he thought they had finally overcome the darkness of their past, everything came crashing down again. This time, it was his little daughter. He would do anything for her. He bit his lip until it bled, and stray tears stained his T-shirt. The thought of Taesoo being mistreated sent his nerves into a frenzy.
