Child Of Stardust || TAEKOOK ✔️

"Chim, what happened? I'm coming right now. But is everything alright? Is uncle ok?"

Hara and Jungkook's attention was now on me. Hara looked worried. Her eyes help several questions that I was unable to answer at the moment.

"Taehyung... y-yeah..can you just come um here please?"

I frowned. Jimin never called me Taehyung. Something was definitely not right. I could hear his uneven breathing over the phone as if he was afraid of something. His voice was frail and almost inaudible.

What was going on?

"Jimin"

I saw Hara frowning when I called him that. She knew we never called each other by our real names. Maybe she sensed something was off with this.

"Don't worry. I'm coming okay? Just..just be safe"

Something was wrong there. He didn't even object when I called him Jimin. I felt dizzy all of a sudden. He was in probable danger and I had no idea how to save him from whatever it was.

"You too Taehyun-"

And the call ended more like someone forced him to do so. Shit. Jimin was definitely in some kind of danger, possibly Gemma and uncle too.

I rubbed my face with my hands to subside the distress. But it didn't help. My best friend and his family's life was in threat and I wasn't there to help him.

"I have to go to his place. Right now."

I must have surprised Jungkook and Hara by standing up suddenly. I could tell by their expression.

"Taehyung calm down. What happened?"

Jungkook followed, standing up and putting his hands on my shoulders to calm me down. His touches were still gentle and his eyes were filled with worry.

"Jungkook...Jimin..he.. he's in danger..I don't know what is it but there's something...I need to go..! Right now!"

I wanted to run to his house immediately. My best friend was in utmost distress and I wasn't there to console him. Hell! I felt tears brimming in the corner of my eyes again. Here goes the thought of not crying again.

"Taehyung listen to me..calm down first okay... Jimin.. is he your that friend in university?"

I nodded, not being able to utter anything with the lump in my throat. Hara was quite all this time before she finally decided to speak up,

"Tata..I understand..if he's in danger we need to help him. Gemma or uncle finding out about all of this might be the least priority here but you've to think about yourself too.."

Jungkook made me sit on the chair and brought his chair close to me. Hara did the same on the other side.

"Noona is right Taehyung.."

Jungkook chimed in. But I was feeling numb to all the voices outside. It was like an inner voice was telling me constantly that there was something terribly wrong happening.

"I'm just thinking why didn't he call me? Why did he call you Tata? He knows about your condition right?"

Right...Jimin would never call me unless it's a life threating situation. Hell! He would even die before putting me in distress right now!

Was he... possibly in danger because of me? No no no. This couldn't happen right?

"No..no.. Jungkook.. tell me is there any possibility your king's people..they..they might go after him to find me or anything like that?"

I turned towards Jungkook to find the answer in negative but all I found was uncertainty and fear mixed with somewhat confusion.

And that scared me.

"Tell me Jungkook please!"

My voice sounded so broken that I almost couldn't recognise it as mine.

"Please tell me.."

I repeated when Jungkook pulled me in his embrace. I now realised that I was crying already as his shirt was getting wet.

"I need to inform my friends. We'll definitely help him. He'll be okay. You don't have to worry Taehyung. Okay?"

I didn't reply, melting into the hug. I was only praying for everything to be alright.

"I'm getting the energy from the house. Both black and white."

Yoongi's voice echoed inside Hara's car through Jungkook's watch. He was wearing the same one as others. This was some kind of communication device for them but more advanced than humans could ever imagine.

I saw him sighing, which was definitely not a good sign. Hara was still on the driver's seat as Jungkook didn't know driving and both of them of course didn't let me drive. Neither Jungkook nor Hara wanted me to come with them. But I couldn't just leave Jimin alone for fuck's sake. I wouldn't be able to stay in peace knowing he was out there in danger.

Jungkook looked at me, still talking to Yoongi through the watch,

"Any high authority?"

"Namjoon is still finding out how many"

"Shit"

I saw panic in Jungkook's eyes. Yoongi and Namjoon were near Jimin's house while our car was parked at a decent distance. Jin and Hoseok were checking the whole area for more information, well that's what Jungkook told me.

"Is everything okay there Yoongi?"

I took Jungkook's hand and tried to communicate with Yoongi through the watch, imitating Jungkook.

"Um Taehyung, I'm not sure exactly..Jungkook will tell you the rest"

I couldn't hear anything from the other side anymore which made me realise the call ended or Yoongi willingly did it to avoid my question.

"Jungkook"

I demanded the answer from him now but there was nothing I got other than silence.

"Tata..just calm down okay? Everything will be alright. Stressing out is not good for you right now.."

Hara's voice was full of assurance and worry. I wanted to believe her words desperately. Only if those were true.

Suddenly Jin's voice came through Jungkook's watch. He was talking in a language that was completely unknown to me. The words were foreign and I didn't understand anything, neither Hara. Jungkook started speaking the same language. Even though I couldn't understand anything, I could understand the situation wasn't good at all by the tone of Jungkook and others'.

It felt as if Jungkook was somewhat arguing with them but at the same time worried. My eyes were moving from Jungkook to his watch constantly.

What was happening?

Were they okay?

I heard some weird sounds coming from the watch as if people were fighting. I could hear someone screaming from far. Girl, boy both voices. And after sometime what felt like eternity, everything was silent.

Jungkook finally looked up from his watch and turned towards Hara. I didn't like what he said afterwards,

"Noona..start the car. We've to go back.."
