Namjoon's POV:
It's been about 18 hours, if not more, since Luca was taken and Yoongi ran off. Luca was taken around one, and Yoongi ran off right after. It's exactly 7:18 am right now. We split up with Jin, Hoseok, and Jungkook looking for Luca while driving through town, then me, Taehyung, and Jimin searching for Yoongi. We regrouped at Luca's house at midnight, slept from midnight to five, and then we got up and we've all been searching for Yoongi since then. The field is massive, and the grass is knee high. It's lightened up now, but for the first hour and a half we were using our phone flashlights.  We've just been combing the field horizontally, each of us roughly 15 feet from the next member. It's warm out and every now and then I'll yell for Yoongi. I know intellectually that I'm avoiding what we're doing, what happened and why, but I just can't think about it. I'll snap. I have to be strong. We all have to be strong together. But really only Jin and I are holding up, and I think it's because Jin's in shock. He's seeing but not noticing, hearing without listening. Hoseok is doing worse, but not by much. He's just crying and yelling for Yoongi. I guess I wouldn't call that worse though, he at least understands what going on, the situation. Taehyung is so sad he just keeps talking to himself and shaking with tears. Other than that, he's silent. Jimin is so mad you can feel the strength around him. The air to him is dark. He has his hands into fists, and his eyes are cold. Under all the angry though, he's cracked. Not broken but close to it. Jungkook is doing the worst out of everyone. He's running right now, but he'll stop in a minute and just stand and scream. He's sobbing and screaming. I think he's gone delirious. He isn't only screaming Yoongi's name, but Luca's too. He's also cursing Yugyeom and Jackson. The thought of him losing his little sister is bad enough, but losing his hyung too? He really can't take it. It's hurting him to the point where he doesn't even know what's happening. He'll just run, scream, collapse onto the ground in tears, get up, and do it all over again. I hope Luca's getting the proper medical attention at least. A gunshot to the thigh is at the very least temporarily incapacitating. In most cases it's fatal. The truth is, she might be dead. She really, truly, actually might be gone. My beautiful little girl. She's like my daughter. She is so smart, and she's so good at dancing. She has a passion, and she loves others more than herself. She loves Bangtan more than anything. That's what cracks my hard shell. I start crying now too. My girl. My baby girl could be dead. Only then does it really hit me. I cry harder than I ever have before. My precious baby and my grandpa hyung. My family.
Hoseok's POV:
I'm crying. I can't help it. Two of my favorite people in the world are missing and one is hurt, and we don't even know if the other one is safe. I can't really afford to think about that right now though. Namjoon looks like he just got news that they're dead, and he probably thinks that they are. Jin is just walking blankly, in shock, it seems like. Jungkook is just running, crying, and screaming. Jimin is so angry that he looks red, while Taehyung is so sad I swear he forgot how to smile. Nobody's smiling now though. We have absolutely zero things to smile for. We don't even really have each other. Like I still love Jimin, but I can't get over what he did. He punched Luca so hard she had to get stitches. I really just can't be okay with that. I don't think any of us will forgive Jimin, but I hope we can move on together. He's so hard on himself, and he should be, but not as hard as he has been. He's been skipping meals, staying in his room, picking at his fingers, biting at his lip, and he goes down to the workout room and beats the punching for hours on end. Him and Taehyung have made up mostly, but you still can't mention Luca around them. Then Taehyung is walking shakily like water and looks like he is as fragile as glass. I know he needs someone to talk to, but none of us are capable of helping him right now. He's so broken. Jimin is too, under all that anger. They both still love her so much. Somehow, Yoongi loves her more. I can only imagine how he's feeling, the love of his life missing, hurt with a wound that can kill, and we have no leads. I'm trying to be hopeful, I'm trying to live up to my name, but it just isn't possible. I cry. I cry for Luca. I cry for Yoongi. I cry for Jimin and Taehyung and Jungkook and Namjoon and Jin and myself. Let them both come home safe.
Jungkook POV:
"AhhhhhhhHHHHHH!" I scream at the sky, breathless.
"AHHHHHHH!" I scream again.
I stop and fall to the ground on my knees sobbing.
"Oh why..... Why?!?!" I yell at the rising sun.
I get up off the ground and run fast, fast as hell. I run at least a hundred feet ahead the rest of the group.
"YOONGI! LUCA! HYUNG! SIS!" I yell, "WHERE ARE YOU?!"
I'm sobbing. My nose is running, my body is shaking and trembling, and the tears are so fat I can barely see. My grandpa ran away, after the love of his life was shot and taken. My sister. My little sister. She so bright and smart. Not just book smart, but street smart and people smart too. She always knows if your sad and how to make up you feel better. She always knows how to act in front of others, whether to make you look good or embarrass you, and then will either congratulate you or make up for it later. She always does what she wants to when she wants to, and whatever she wants, she just goes for it and takes it. She's so spontaneous, gives you flowers or candy or takes you to see a movie or something random. Just because. I run and run until I trip over something and go tumbling. I hear a cough and a groan, mixed with the saddest sob.
"Ugh ohhh," I hear.
I realize it isn't a thing, but a person.
"Yoongi hyung!" I scream with joy.
I jump up, and scream across the field to the members who are several hundred feet away.
"YOU GUYS, I FOUND YOONGI!! YOU GUYS!!! COME ON!" I scream.
It takes them a minute to realize what I'm saying, but once they do, the run over here faster than anything I've ever seen. They don't say anything, but they look at him. His face is so puffy and red, and he's covered in dirt. It looks like he slept here. I have no doubt he did. Yoongi sits up criss cross and stares at his blood crusted and bruised knuckles, lip quivering. He's taking short breaths, trying not to cry. Hoseok just gets on his knees and puts his arms around Yoongi's shoulder. Yoongi lets it all loose, all the tears, all the sobs, all the screams, and all the pain. I can't imagine how bad he hurts. Slowly, all the members put their arms around each other, Yoongi being the center or it all, and then they all start crying. I was the very last one to join, and we all sobbed together.
