The young man opened wide eyes when two well-built men came in with a big wooden box, opened it and put effortlessly Taehyung's box in it, locked it with some nails and a hammer in their belt. Jungkook gulped several times, but his throat was still dry when the men vanished from his sight in an instant.

-Kook, quick, come on, we need to go now !

With a nod, he ran to his room, put some clothes in his backpack without forgetting some for Taehyung. As he was about to leave his room, he noticed the little music device on the nightstand and grabbed it.

They reached his grandpa's house in less than twenty minutes, the city was weirdly calm, and even there were three roadblocks, their driver had all the necessary rights to pass in without being worried. They heard here and there some gun shots, saw heavy smoke from far buildings, but they finally got to Jungkook's grand pa's house. The tall old man was waiting for them on the front steps, and he quickly hugged his grandson while hurrying them to come in.

Jungkook was happy to be here, he only had good souvenirs in his house, his grandparents being the only one who gave him the love he needed when his parents were always absent. He didn't pay attention to the father and daughter's talking and went directly to his room, upstairs. He threw his bag on the bed, and just stared at the window. After a while, he sighed and came down, and found his mother left a few minutes ago. Without a word. Of course. What did he expect from her ??

He tried his best to discuss with his grandpa, but it was hard to focus on whatever the older was saying. Noticing his grandson's distress, the old man decided to show him some of his inventions to distract him from his thoughts.

Jungkook couldn't but smile when his grandpa showed him his last discoveries and inventions. The man had always been a great scientist but was seen as an eccentric one. But nobody knew the ointment Jungkook put on Taehyung's injured feet was one of it.

-look, this one could be revolutionary ! showing him a huge glass... bathtub ? filled with some blue liquid, thin tubes and electric wire loosely hanging on the glass walls of the odd bathtub.

Jungkook rose his eyebrow, didn't see how a bathtub could be revolutionary.

-euh... it's a...bathtub, papi, nothing else... he chuckled, amused by the older who was always so passionate and enthusiastic !

-hey, no, it's not just what it looks like, young man ! this blue liquid is one of my inventions, and I can say I am very proud of it... It could save lives, you know...

-what do you mean ?

-it's some liquid oxygen combined with adrenaline for the heart and stem cells for brain... it really works you know...It's been a month now I test i, and i am still here, right ?

-wh...how did you test it ?? don't tell me you caused to yourself another heart failure ??? Papiiiiii.... whined a poor Jungkook.

His grandpa was unbelievable... he used to test each invention on himself, no matter how hazardous it could be, didn't listen his grandsons complains.

-papi !!! stop doing it !! what will I do without you ??

The older smiled at him, shouldered him.

-if I wasn't sure of myself, I wouldn't do it, you know that Kookie...

But Jungkook was pouting like a child now, his papi would be the death of him...

-stop pouting, Bunny, you should be proud of me instead !

-but you always don't think about the consequences...

-of course I do. I promise. Each time I test something, I send a message to my friend, Jinyou, you remember him ?

Jungkook nodded while following his papi in the kitchen.

-if I didn't send him a message in the 10 following minutes, he runs here !

-running?? Jinyou ? ahah like he could have ever...

-hey, don't be so sarcastic !

Suddenly, Jungkook realized time had passed, and couldn't believe the clock on the kitchen wall.

-is your clock working papi ?? he asked

-last time I checked, it was, why do you ask ?

-ist's seven yet... Taehyung should have been here since... one hour... at least...

Oh my God, I knew it ! I knew it wasn't safe !!! did mom let a phone number ??

-yes, let me call the transporter, don't worry, ok ?
