"Babe your location is showing NYC. You told you are going to LA."

Ah Shucks. Such a rookie mistake. How could he forget to turn the location off. Jungkook smacked himself. You earn your livelihood from being a Tech Geek, JK he admonished himself.

He was scratching the back of his neck, this is something he does when hes nervous. He cant leave his boyfriend of 10 years on read. He had to reply something, and fast.

"Ah yes, Tae, the flight has a stop over at NYC and i am just whiling time till the flight takes off in few hours. Can you imagine babe, how tierd I am right now. I could use a hug :( " Jungkook managed somehow to write all this and send.

The typing sign was immediate and it s on and on and on and on and then it stops.

Jungkook knows Taehyung. He doesnt write so much. Except Love you, Kisses and miss you messages everything else he prefers speaking, something regarding tone of voice and all other communication signals he says. So what could he be typing so much for.

Jungkook prays under his breath. He cannot F*ck this up on a stupid mistake. He needs to be doing other things in NYC for which he came and instead he feels panic and borderline is shivering.

He stares at the screen for long. Nothing comes - no text, no typing anymore, no phone call. Can he use this window to just end this conversation and go see the one he came here to see.

He spot jogs for a while, all tensed. Then against his better judgement, he steps outside the airport and hails a cab. Gives the driver the address he needs to go to. And tries few breathing exercises to calm himself. He knows he cant leave this thing unsaid with Taehyung. They have been through this in the past. Its never nothing with Taehyung. He is not the one to just sweep things under the carpet and move on. Jungkook loved and hated this thing about Taehyung with equal frevour.
Like right now he needs Taehyung to let it go!. But he knows better. So he takes a deep sigh and calls Taehyung.

One ring
Two ring
Three ring - Here he starts biting his lower lip
Four rings - His inside of cheeks are bearing the brunt
Five rings- His legs starts tapping

He has F*cked up... real bad. The whole thing goes unanswered. He immediate took out the phone and started typing. As soon as he hit send, his heart fell into the pit of his stomach.

The message was sent as a SMS. It can only mean one thing. Taehyung has switched off his phone.

Jungkook's mind went into overdrive. He HAS to reach Taehyung. He immediately went to their maps where both have location shared with each other, he did that to see where in Seoul is Taehyung so that he knows as a probability which friend's house or office he was in and he could call someone a favour to get Taehyung on line.

He opened the map. This was it. Hes definitely not getting out easy this time. He had been making these trips to New york for "Business" without Taehyung's knowledge for a year. It was going fine. Shucks he needs some more time to wrap whatever this 'shady business' he was upto. He was just dotting the i's. So close and now it all seems worthless.

Kim Taehyung's location was Los Fukin Angles International Airport
