It's been twenty-seven hours since Jisung ran away.

Twenty-seven hours that Chan has been on the streets, searching for him.

Twenty-seven hours of Lee Know crying for his beloved to return.

Twenty-seven hours of Jisung wondering if he'd done the right thing.

All he's wanted for the last couple of months was to be free, to be with his best friends. And now that he has what he wanted, he feels...incomplete.

Lee Know and Chan, despite how everything started, made him whole.

The blonde provided the love and affection he's craved his entire life while Chan provided a sense of security, a place to belong.

Jisung belonged with the older two.

"Ji." Seungmin began as he took a seat beside his best friend. "You did the right thing."

The two of them watched the sun set on the balcony of the apartment Seungmin's parents bought them.

The Kim's have always loved Jisung, offering anything the younger needed whenever his parents failed to do their jobs. So it was no surprise to the boy whenever they bought an apartment for the three of them to stay at while everything with The Bang's died down.

"Did I?" Jisung finally questioned, mostly to himself. His question hung in the air as he tried to answer it. But he couldn't.

Groaning loudly, Jisung slumped and laid his head on the puppy's shoulder, "Can we just...go back to the way things were? Before them?"

Seungmin rested his head on top of the other's, giving a slight nod, "Sure, Ji. If you think it'll help, we'll all pretend they never existed and go back to it being just the three of us."

"I'd like that." Jisung whispered, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to fall.

Is this what a breakup feels like? Is this what heartache feels like? I'm in so much pain.

Chan stormed into the room Hannah was kept inside, startling the girl as she was currently reading a book Jisung had recommended.

"Chan, hi! Where's Ji?" The girl looked around for the smaller, missing him these past couple of days.

The older ignored her, opening the glass panel at the end of the wall before stepping into her side of the room.

Hannah stood from her bed, concern and fear lacing her voice as she questioned her brother what was wrong.

Chan, once again, ignored her question. Instead, he wrapped his hand around her throat, pushing her against the glass wall as he seethed, "You did this. This is all your fault."

Hannah tried to free herself, clawing at Chan's fingers as she struggled for air. "What are you talking about?"

"You know exactly what I'm talking about, Hannah." Chan spat, slamming the girl into the wall once more, hearing her groan from the pain. "It took me a bit to piece everything together, but it's all your fault."

A few of Chan's men hurried into the room after hearing the older's shouting, Chan immediately shooing them away. They hesitated, seeing Hannah's current state, but left the room regardless.

"You're the reason Jisung is gone. You put it in his head, didn't you? All those questions and remarks about Felix, bringing back feelings and memories. You planted the seed in his brain that caused him to leave."

Chan finally let go of the girl, letting her fall to the floor as she gasped for air. She managed to squeeze out a sparky remark through her weezing, questioning, "Have you ever considered that Jisung left you because you're a monster?"

Hannah coughed as she tried to regain her breathing, glancing up at the fuming male as he glared her down. But she was never afraid of him. "I didn't do shit. Your precious beloved left you on his own volition. Fucking deal with it, Chan."

Chan's temper was shortening the longer he dealt with his sister. He questioned the girl where her family would keep him, hoping she'd immediately give up their location instead of prolonging her own torture.

Hannah was going to continue playing dumb until Chan spoke up once more, "I almost couldn't figure out how he's managed to elude me and my men. But, then it hit me."

Leaning down so that they were now face to face, Chan added in a cold tone, "He's protected under The Kim's now. He's practically invisible."

"You'll never find him." Hannah responded, her demeanor having changed completely. "My family will protect him with their lives. He's safe now."

Chan fought every fiber in his body that wanted to hurt her until she gave up his location, but he knew she would never.

Giving up who her new family was was easy for her. She knew that The Bang's already had an idea. The news wasn't new.

But, giving up the location of who her mission revolved around wasn't as easy. As it turned out, Jisung was her mission. Her mission wasn't to kill Jisung. It was to rescue him.

Storming out of the room, Chan pointed towards the girl from the doorway, his men's eyes following his finger. "Kill her."

The group of men hesitated, all of them sharing the same thought: that's your sister.

"Kill her or be killed. She's of no use now, and you won't be either if you don't do as you're fucking told." Chan ordered as he turned to walk away, making his way out of the building.

I will find you, doll. I'll bring you home to Lee Know and I, where you belong.
