#42 - Death and Betrayal

'Jimin, have you seen Jungkook?' You blurted all of a sudden, almost startling Jimin who had a piece of toast in his mouth. Yoongi, Jin and Namjoon stopped what they were doing, turning their heads to look at you and Taehyung remained quiet, staring off into space. Jimin shook his head, genuinely clueless about his friend's disappearance. Your eyes darted to Namjoon, 'Weren't you talking to him?'

'Yes, but I haven't seen him after he went upstairs.' Namjoon said.

You stood up so quick that the chair you were sitting on almost toppled over because of the force, your legs carrying you to the stairs and climbing it, Namjoon and the others still in the kitchen, his lips slightly tugging upwards as he watched you leave. Yoongi whispered to Jimin to help you, and he too left, leaving Taehyung, him, Jin and Namjoon in the kitchen.

"What did you do, Namjoon?" Namjoon looked up just at the right time to see Yoongi's sharp gaze on him. He shrugged his shoulders at him, still aware of Jin's presence in between them, "I don't know what you're talking about, Yoongi."

Just then, a knock sounded on the front door, Yoongi's body stiffening at the sound, his head turning around to watch the door from the kitchen. His eyes were wide as he stood up, his head turning back to look at Namjoon, who had a look on his face that spoke for itself: amusement. The door knocked again, and this time Taehyung's head snapped up, 'Yoongi Hyung, nobody is supposed to be knocking, right?' His eyes narrowed as he watched Yoongi's face pale, the color draining from his skin, more than usual. He nodded, a visible bounce of his Adam's apple as he gulped before he slowly walked to the front door, his hand hesitantly reaching for the handle.

"You'd probably want to open it." Namjoon's voice echoed in Yoongi's now panic filled head, his eyes trained on the door knob, ignoring the subtle devious look he felt Namjoon staring at him with.

'Yoongi Hyung!' Jungkook's voice reached his ears, and before he could think, Yoongi pulled open the door so quick that it almost fell off its hinges. He was ready to yell at Jungkook, for scaring him and his sister, getting them worried sick, when his eyes began trailing the hand that was around Jungkook's neck, it leading to a body behind him, not much taller than Jungkook's. Yoongi froze as he saw Hoseok smile at him cunningly, 'Hello, brother.' And then he felt his insides relax.

You'd turned Jungkook and Jimin's room upside down as you frantically searched for him, while Jimin searched the other rooms. You were at the verge of tears as you made your way out of the room and to the hallway, meeting Jimin who had, too, just left your and Taehyung's shared room. You looked at him with hopeful eyes, only for the hope to be washed away as he shook his head. He wasn't in your room either. You both walked to the stairs, getting down the steps as you began thinking of any other possible place as to where Jungkook could have gone.

'Yoongi, I can't find Jungkook any-' Your words were cut short as your eyes met the horrific scene in the kitchen. There stood Hoseok, your long passed friend from University, with your brother at knife point, Yoongi and Taehyung bound and gagged on the floor, kneeling on either sides of Hoseok.

'Hoseok...Jung Hoseok?' You breathed, your eyes wavering as you caught his eyes staring at you. His eyes narrowed as he watched you, a hint of recognition flashing across his eyes. Your name was at the tip of his tongue, but he shook his head, 'Get her.'

You hadn't noticed Yoongi and Taehyung who had been vigorously shaking their heads to warn you about the danger behind you. Suddenly, you felt two rough hands pulling at yours and crossing them behind your back and bounding them, your head desperately moving side to side as you tried to see who it was. You stopped when you saw the flicker of silver hair, his face now coming in front of you as your eyes widened, 'Nam- Namjoon?'
