A wince was heard. "Hyung, I can't wait to hold your hands again!" Jimin said, which confused them. Why did he phrase it like that? They wondered. "Enough of this! Lock the boy away! And I'll send you the location, and if you try to deceive me, then watch the video again and think twice!" With that, the call was cut.

"That asshole!" Yoongi exclaimed as soon as the call was cut off. "Did you hear Jimin? He was so afraid!" Hoseok stated. "I'll kill this dude, then find a way to revive him only so I can kill him again for what he has done to my Chimchim!" Taehyung replied to Hoseok with an almost psychotic expression on his face. "I'll help you take revenge for OUR Chimchim." Jungkook commanded, making sure to emphasize the OUR. It was only after a short while that they stopped their to be honest rather unhelpful outbursts of anger. 

"Okay, back on track guys! Did you hear how he asked only for me and my three brothers? The last time he had contact to us Taehyung and Jungkook were still in school and we made sure that they were flying under the radar of our enemies; he doesn't know about them. We can use that as our advantage." Jin told the others about his realiziation. "That's good to know but we need any information about where he keeps Jimin to be able to plan our rescue and we have no hint about the location where Jimin is kept. He has over 100 estates in Seoul!" Yoongi stated their biggest problem, which they weren't able to find a solution for.

"You're wrong, hyung! This idiot just revealed his secret location because of his call." Everyone looked up at Namjoon, who had been silent since the call ended. Instead of raging like the others, he had focused his full attention on the screen in front of him. "What do you mean? The phone is too old to track the location." "You are right about that Hoseok, but he let us talk to Jimin and that was the biggest mistake he had done till now." 

No one understood what Namjoon was implying, everyone had confusion written in their faces. "You remember what Jimin said? He said 'I can't wait to hold your hands again', let's be real that's nothing anyone would ever say in this situation." "Hyung, he's a hostage, of course he won't have a normal conversation, he's scared!" Taehyung defends Jimin's wierd phrasing. "I am not saying that to make fun of Jimin!" Namjoon rolled his eyes. "The way Jimin phrased it was as if Jimin wanted to say something to us. It was far streched but I looked at the video once again and as I watched it I focused on Jimin's hands. Have a look!"

Namjoon started the video once again, until Jimin's body seemingly collapsed in itself, it looked like he had fallen unconscious, his head hung low at the same height of his armrests. "It looks like Jimin is unconscious but look at his hand, that's an unnatural pose, if you ask me." Namjoon commented the video. Jimin had his fingers in a very specific pose and his hand twisted that the tips of his fingers pressed against his low hanging cheek, after a few second he placed the same hand slightly further back, it were very small movements, which could easily go unnoticed.  

This is the pose Jimin does

"You're right Namjoon hyung, that doesn't seem very natural but what does it mean?" Jungkook asked. "I'm not certain at the moment, but I believe it is sign language. Do you recall how enthusiastic he was about joining the sign language club and how he always demonstrated the new words he had learned?" Namjoon smiled sadly at the memory, unsure if Jimin would still be the same innocent and excited boy when they got him back. The others nodded.

They researched about sign language and found themselves a translator, whom they gave a large sum for translating this single word, with the catch that if he uttered a single word about the video to anyone; he would be killed within a day. The translator didn't think long before identifying the signed word, as 'Home'.

"He keeps him at his home? Is he stupid?" Taehyung asked as soon as they ended the call with the translator. "It wasn't that stupid, we didn't even think about it because, we thought no one, who wants to keep a good reputation would keep his prisoner locked in his own home. He also bought several better places to use for a kidnapping within the last weeks, only to keep us occupied. He thought about this." Jin stated coldly. 

"I have two addresses, which Hwang Daniel uses as his private residences, both are mansions but they are on two opposite sides of Seoul. Jihoon wasn't able to figure out which Daniel currently uses but it's probably this one, as it's security has been raised the last few days." Yoongi stated while showing one of the two mansions. Just in the very next second the phone beeps once again, and a message is shown on it's display. The message states both the time and place for their meeting.

"Good, Jungkook and Taehyung will go safe Jimin while we will meet that bastard!" Jin states the plan while still glaring at the phone next to him.

Meanwhile with Jimin... 

'I hope my hyungs have understand what I wanted to say.' Jimin thought to himself, he was once again locked away in the basement, although he was no longer tied to a chair he now had a thick chain around his ankle. The chain was so tight around his ankle that he was sure it was almost cutting off all the blood supplies to his feet.

Suddenly the door swung open with so much force that it slammed against the wall with a loud thud. "You little whore, tried to help them with your stupid sign language?" Hwang Daniel has pushed the boy against the wall and now held him a little above the ground by his throat. Jimin was desperately gasping for air as the old man tightened his grip around the youngers throat, making it even harder to breath.

"Don't worry, I took precautions for this scenario! I have two mansions, and they are heading for the wrong one, the one better-guarded! They will die today because of your stupidity! And after they all lie dead at my feet, I'll take care of you, sweetie. You'll regret trying to trick me!" Daniel shouted at the boy, who tried to stay awake. However, due to the lack of oxygen, it became increasingly harder, but he no longer had to fight it because he was suddenly wide awake, because he was harshly pushed to the ground, and a stinging pain emerged from forehead as he felt the warm liquid run down his cheek.

His head injury made him feel dizzy and his vision blurred. He watched how the thick wooden door was closed and in an instand the darkness was once again dominating the small and quiet room.

After what the man had said, the darkness surrounding him, since he first woke up inside of this room, seemed even more threatening, and the last glimpse of hope he held onto in this situation was swallowed by it. The over the last few months almost forgotten stinging pain in his eyes, the harbinger of his tears, had over the past few days once again become a normalized feeling."I am sorry..." Jimin whimpered as the guilt spread inside of him. 'My hyungs will be hurt or, worse, die because of me!' was the last thought that crossed his mind before tears started to swell in his eyes. He cried until he was too weak, due to his crying and concussion, to stay conscious any longer.
