"Un-uncle I-I know w-where is A-Ae-Aera," the boy said looking down crying he was of the same age as Aera

Hearing the boy both Taehyung and Hobi kneel in front of him immediately "You know? Tell me where is she?" Taehyung asked eagerly

"I-I w-will ta-take you th-there... Co-come with m-me" The boy said

Taehyung nodded confusedly and followed. The boy took Taehyung and Hobi to the 2nd floor towards the last room which was in the corner and locked. There was a board saying "Store Room"

"This room is locked she can't be here," Hobi said and Taehyung nodded

"S-she is he-here un-uncle," the boy said shuttering

"Hyung can you ask teachers for this room's key?" Taehyung said to Hobi who hesitated but nodded and went to bring essential

"Hey buddy can you tell me how you know Aera is here?" Taehyung asked the nervous boy

Tears started rolling down the boy's eyes "Ple-please un-uncle don't punish m-me I-I told th-them not to d-do this but t-they didn't listen pl-please uncle I-I'm s-sorry" he said and cried

"Hey shhh don't cry I will not punish you just tell me what happened exactly," Taehyung said whipping the boy's tears

From the boy, Taehyung came to know what had happened there

~

As the Teacher left the classroom. Everyone started to draw as the teacher told them before going Aera also started her work when 3 boys came to her saying they wanted to show her something they took her to the store room which was open at that time because the staff was taking out something from that room the boys took her inside but only themselves came out leaving Aera inside. By the time she realized what her classmates had done, the staff had locked the door not knowing someone was inside. The boys had left already Aera started calling for help but there was no one as their class was on the ground floor even and calling for 10 minutes continuously when no one came she started crying and after crying for more than half an hour she fainted

The reason for doing all this was jealousy

Aera was everyone's favorite all the teachers and classmates loved her but some days ago because of Aera the boys were punished as she complained about them to the teacher for ruining one of their classmate's homework and that's why they started to dislike her and did that but when Aera's friend told their teacher about her being missing they got afraid and didn't tell anyone anything

The one who told Taehyung about Aera was one of them too he saw Jungkook crying from the classroom window and felt guilty he was about to tell Taehyung earlier but the other 2 boys didn't let him because they were scared but he saw how worried they were because of them he pushed other two boys and went to Taehyung and told him everything

The boys weren't brats or something they didn't know something this big would happen they were just jealous and didn't intend to harm Aera

Back to story ~

Hobi came back with a teacher who had the key with her she passed the key to Taehyung who immediately stood up as he was kneeling in front of the boy and opened the door.

What he saw inside made his heart ache so badly

There was his Princess all dusty and maybe unconscious he could see how much she must have cried there as tear stains were visible on her cheeks he rushed to her and picked her up in his arms

He hugged her and a single tear fell from his eye he whipped it immediately and patted Aera's head and kissed it

Hugging her close to his chest he went down to where Jungkook and Jin were
