enjoy!

Kim Taehyung POV.
We're on the way to Daegu. My hometown.

It's been a long time since I went there. But it will forever haunt me because of what is happening to Hyejin. I will find her soon and I know I will.

"Mr. Kim." Officer Dwi said. "You feeling fine?"

"Yes. Thank you." I responded with a slight smile.

Kim Taeguk POV.
It's been a day and he hasn't come back yet.

"Halmeoni. We should get out of here. Please. Let's go." I whispered. "I'll try to find a way out."

"It's pointless." she said with her cracky voice.

"What? Why?" I asked, confused. "No. It's not. Whatever it is, no. Appa would be so excited to see you, and you'll see Taeho for the first time! Please." I forced her.

"No. Go. I'll stay here." she shook her head. "They already forgot about me. Plus, I know Taehyung won't appreciate me as he did before because of what I was to his wife. I'm too old and I'll die any sooner."

"All of us will die any sooner, halmeoni." I said with a deep voice. "Right now, you're alive as well as I'am. That means we still have this chance of getting out. We're alive because we're meant to be. You said that your own. Right? Please! Come with me."

She didn't reply. I looked around the room for a sharp object. There was a lot but it was so far away from us. I looked below halmeoni's chair and there was a piece of broken glass. "Halmeoni!" I shrieked.

"There's a broken glass under you. Can you reach it and I'll cut the ropes around us?" I asked.

She reached for the glass with her foot and kicked it to me. I forced my body to bring the chair up and turned around. I leaned backward and slowly reached for the glass. "Taeguk-ah. Be careful."

Once I reached it. I started cutting the rope behind my back my hand started bleeding. But I didn't care.

After 5 minutes of cutting, the garage door opened. I quickly hid the glass behind my hand.

"Good afternoon!" Jinwoo smiled. "Hungry? I have snacks. Halmeoni?"

"Yes. Please." halmeoni said, looking down to her lap.

I stared at her with my wide eyes and started panicking. Why would halmeoni accept this food from a random man who doesn't have anything capable to do with us. "No! Halmeoni! That might be poison! No!" I started shaking.

Jinwoo looked at me slowly and smiled. "Taegukieee. . . you think a closed package of bread chips is poisoned? Okay then. How about you taste it your own first?"

He opened the pack of bread chips and took one piece. He slowly put it near my mouth and harshly pushed it to my closed lips. He was forcing me to eat it.

I immediately opened my mouth and took the chips from his hands with it. Then spit it out to the floor.

"Hah. Clever girl." Jinwoo clenched his fist.

Kim Taeho POV.
I sat up on the bed and the nurse injected me some kind of medicine. Appa's group, Bangtan was here to accompany me.

"How are you Taeho? Feeling good?" Namjoon hyung asked.

"Yes. Thank you for staying with me here while appa and my noona is missing." I smiled to them.

"What? Taeguk's missing? Again?" Jimin hyung stood up.

"Yah. Calm down. They're already looking for her." Hoseok hyung whispered while pulling him back to sit down.

"Sorry that this is all happening to your family, Taeho." Namjoon hyung suddenly said. "I'm sure everything will be fine soon. Okay? We all will be right here."

I looked at him and nodded with a slight smile. I'm really thankful to have them. Without them, no one would be with me right now. I will be alone in this hospital room, thinking about how appa, eomma and noona are doing right now.

Yes, and I hope my family will all be fine soon. We will all be together again, full of happiness.

Kim Hyejin POV.
Sungjin hasn't come back for the whole day. But there's a chance that he might later for the night.

Me and Seohyun is starving to death.

Suddenly, she speaks up towards the atmosphere's silence. "I miss everyone."

I looked at her and looked back down. She was facing the floor, crying. I don't know who I miss, but I have feeling of someone that I haven't touched or seen for a long time. My heart feels stuff nowadays that I can't even understand. I stayed quiet.

"What's your name?" Seohyun asked.

"Hyejin." I said. "Kim Hyejin."

"Funny," she did a quick laugh. "My appa said he used to like someone during his high school days with that name. He usually talks about her all the time rather than talking about how him and my eomma met."

"I want to tell you everything too. But I can't remember anything." I said. "I'm sorry."

"Why? I mean, it's not easy to just forget about stuff you did when you were young." she asked.

"I have amnesia and I don't know how I got it. Since no one is here by my side to tell me any truth at all." I said. "Atleast I can tell you what's happening inside my head."

She stayed quiet.

"I have these visions of someone I can't get my focus to. I say things that I don't realize when I think about that person. I even cry sometimes, and I don't know why." I said.

"It must've been hard. I have a friend who's eomma has amnesia too. He doesn't know where he is right now." she said, still crying. "I really want to go back home."

Seohyun POV.
"I really want to go back home." I said.

Suddenly, I remembered what Taeho said to me. I focused into it a little bit and started realizing. . .

Is she Taeho's eomma?
They have the same last name and everything she told me was what Taeho told me.
