"Breathe." Namjoon attempted to calm his hyperventilating husband, "Take a deep breath babe."

"I-" Seokjin was gasping for air, "I can't."

"I'm so sorry to report this news to you. We are doing everything we can to find her." The officer standing in front of the two said. They had just been told that Lisa was missing and after investigating the scene, they found out she was most likely kidnapped.

"What's going on?" Jeongguk walked to where the three were which was offstage. They were rehearsing for their concert which was a week away. Seokjin and Namjoon had been telling Jeongguk that Lisa was at the doctors getting cleared all day in order not to freak him out until they figured out what was going on with her. Now they didn't know how to break it to him.

"Jeongguk.." Namjoon lowly stated, "Don't freak out when I tell you this, okay? Everything's gonna be fine."

The panic had set in Jeongguk's face already, "What? What happened? Where's Lisa?" He could feel that something was off. All day he'd felt it.

He could only sigh while trying to console his husband who was crying into his chest, "Just try to stay calm-"

"Just tell me where she is, hyung."

"Just remember that everything's gonna be fine-"

"TELL ME WHERE LISA IS." Jeongguk screamed.

"SHE WAS KIDNAPPED." Namjoon screamed in reply. He let his shoulders fall and looked down, "Again. She was kidnapped again."

Jeongguk didn't say anything. He silently walked past Namjoon and Seokjin and headed for the door despite Namjoon's desperate attempts to get him to turn around. He got into his car and broke down. Jeongguk was never much of a crier but this woman meant everything to him and now she was missing. So he was sobbing uncontrollably as he rested his forehead on the steering wheel, "FUCK!" He screamed slamming his fist against the dashboard, "FUCK."

"Jeongguk?" A voice came from outside of his car. He looked out the window to find Dallia on the other side of the car, "Unlock the door." He unlocked the car door and she sat down in the passengers seat, "She's gonna be fine."

"Everyone keeps fucking saying that but just because she makes it out alive doesn't mean she's fucking fine! She is dying on the inside and nobody can fucking tell! This isn't fair. And what if this time she doesn't come back? What if he fucking kills her? Fuck! This isn't god damn fair!"

"You're right. It isn't fair. But that's not your fault. And there's nothing you can do to help her forget everything that's killing her. But you can help her make new memories, better ones that will replace the terrifying ones. The ones that are killing her. She's going to come back and she's not going to be okay right away but she will get there. Okay?" Dallia sighed, "I know this is killing you too. I can tell. Don't let this kill you."
