Taehyung stared blankly at Jimin, confusion and worry etched on his face. "Didn't he come yet? His body has gone numb," he muttered, more to himself than to Jimin. He picked up his phone and dialed Jungkook's number, his fingers trembling.
Jimin, standing near the curtain, spoke with a determined tone, "No more tragedies."
Tae tried the call again, but it wouldn't connect. Frustration boiled over as he turned to Jimin. "Inform the police station, Tae," Jimin said, tension clear in his voice. Just then, Tae's phone rang.
"Dad?" Tae answered quickly.
"Tae, Jungkook is with me. Don't worry," his father's voice came through, trying to reassure him.
Tae gritted his teeth, his anger barely contained. "Where are you now?" he demanded.
"Scotland..."
"What?" Tae shouted, his voice echoing through the room. "What the hell is this, Dad? You have to inform me, at least Jimin. We just—"
"Tae, we're busy. I'll catch you later," his father interrupted.
"Dad... Hello... This..." Tae glared at the phone in disbelief. "He is with Dad. They went to Scotland."
Jimin touched his chest, trying to calm his racing heart. "Dad has a conference there."
"Let that little devil come here... I'll show him," Tae muttered under his breath. Then, louder, he said, "Jimin, get ready. Let's go out. Where is the baby? I'll make him ready."
"You both go, Tae. I will—" Jimin started to protest.
"Jimin, no more arguments. Go and get ready," Tae said firmly. He picked up the child and walked to his room.

"Where is my daughter?" Kang shouted at Hoseok.
"Of course, with me," Hoseok replied, leaning back in his chair.
"I know it" Kang insisted, his voice rising in desperation. "Hoseok, my daughter..."
Hoseok's expression remained cold. "I don't care about your daughter. I want Mrs. Kim. Then, and only then, will you get your daughter back."
"What?" Mr. Kang stared at him, disbelief in his eyes. "You... I will finish you," he said, pulling out a gun.
But Hoseok merely smirked. "This is my office, Kang. My place. Once we become parents, our children become our everything. But you... you have only one child. That's your misfortune. Now, go and bring me what I want, and I'll give you your daughter back."
Mr. Kang stared at Jackson for a moment before walking out.
Jackson stared at Hoseok in disbelief. They had been planning to take care of him for years, but this man..
"Have you forgotten what I asked of you, Mr. Jackson? Give me Ara, and then your daughter will be safe."
But you said Ara is with you ? Jackson looks at him.
I feel sorry for Hana... She was good girl.
No... I will find Ara, Jackson walks out with lot of questions in his mind.

Baby was picking out a lot of toys. Tae simply allowed him everything, despite Jimin's attempts to stop him.
"Uncle... game set!" the baby shouted, pointing excitedly.
"No... You already have two," Jimin said.
