Jungkook's eyes widened with concern as he watched Taehyung urgently removing his apron. The normally cheerful and composed Taehyung now wore a mask of sadness and anger, and Jungkook felt a pang of worry deep within him.

 "Tae, what's wrong ? you have been spacing out a lot today" asked Jungkook softly. 

Taehyung's hands shook slightly as he folded the apron, his jaw clenched in frustration. He glanced at Jungkook, his eyes filled with a mix of sorrow and determination.

"Uhm nothing, I am just tired and my aunt called earlier.I need to go to Daegu tonight"

"Is everything okay?  " 

"Yeah Yeah .. I Just need to .. There's a train leaving at 9:30 PM, and I have to catch it."

Jungkook frowned, he knew something was wrong by the way Teahyung's eyes were not meeting his. He reached out, placing a comforting hand on Taehyung's shoulder.

" Let me help you get to the train station"

The morning air was heavy with tension as Taehyung and Sung Ryung stood before Detective Hwang's house, the door slightly ajar. With cautious steps, they entered, their senses alert to the disarray that met their eyes.

The house was in chaos. Papers were scattered across the floor, furniture toppled over, and the rooms seemed to have been ransacked. The silence that hung in the air was amplifying the sense of dread that washed over them.

"This... this doesn't look good. Where could Hwang be?" whispered Sung ryung

"I don't know, but we need to find him. And quickly. Something's clearly happened here."

They moved through the house, their footsteps echoing in the empty rooms. Every creak of the floorboards intensified their unease. Taehyung's eyes darted around, searching for any clues, while Sung Ryung kept a firm grip on her phone, ready to call for help if needed.

As they explored further, they discovered a note hastily scribbled on a piece of paper left on the kitchen table. Sung Ryung picked it up, her hands trembling, and read aloud.

"It says, 'They know you know! I had to run. Stay safe.' It's signed by Hwang." said Sung ryung in shaky voice. 

"We can't just stand here. We have to find out what happened, where he went, and why he's so afraid. There might be answers at the police station."

"No, Not the police station Tae..we are on our own now.."

determined to uncover the truth behind Detective Hwang's sudden disappearance and the dark secrets he seemed to be entangled with, they hurriedly left the chaotic house. The mystery deepened, and the urgency of their mission became even more apparent.

In the  meeting room, Mrs. Jeon, commanded attention as she discussed the construction project with a room full of executives. The atmosphere was serious, with everyone hanging on her every word when Joong Ki, entered the room quietly, his face etched with concern.

Mrs. Jeon was in the middle of a sentence when Joong Ki leaned in and whispered urgently into her ear. Her eyes widened in shock, and her grip on the documents in her hands tightened. The room seemed to spin around her as she absorbed the news - Hwang had run away, and Sung Ryung and Taehyung are after him.

"What? Hwang ran away? And Sung Ryung and Taehyung...?"

Mrs. Jeon's face paled, fear and uncertainty gripping her like a vice. Her mind raced, trying to process the implications of Hwang's disappearance and the involvement of two individuals who seemed to be at the center of the unfolding mystery. 

The weight of the situation bore down on her, and for a moment, she felt a sense of overwhelming dread. The room fell into a heavy silence as Mrs. Jeon struggled to regain her composure, her mind racing with questions and fears. The once confident and composed leader now found herself teetering on the edge of uncertainty, unsure of what this new development meant for the project, and more importantly, for her own safety.

Jungkook let out a deep sigh, his thoughts consumed by Taehyung. The absence of Taehyung's cheerful laughter and comforting presence weighed heavily on Jungkook's heart.

He closed his eyes for a moment, reminiscing about the times they had spent together – the laughter they shared and the bond that had grown between them. Taehyung had become an integral part of his life, and Jungkook couldn't help but worry about him.

With a heavy heart, Jungkook silently hoped for Taehyung's safety, vowing to find a way to reunite with him.

As Taehyung sat in a quiet moment of contemplation, his mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. Images of his mother, Hwang's house in chaos, Sung Ryung, and the mysteries surrounding them clouded his thoughts. Amidst the confusion and pain, he found himself wishing for Jungkook's presence.

In Taehyung's heart, Jungkook represented a pillar of support and understanding. There was something about Jungkook's reassuring presence that made him feel like everything would be okay. He believed that Jungkook had a way of easing the burden of what had happened, even if just a little. It was a deep, unspoken trust he held for his friend.

Closing his eyes, Taehyung silently longed for Jungkook's comforting words, his warm smile, and the strength that Jungkook seemed to effortlessly radiate. in that moment of vulnerability, he couldn't help but wish for Jungkook to be by his side.
