Here's my Masterpiece

Chapter 4

Jungkook awoke suddenly and he took in his surroundings. He was still in the library and he was still sitting at the table he had sat at last night. Jungkook slowly stood up from the table and looked around for Jimin. Did he come back last night? He definitely did. But where was he? He was surely in his room. Jungkook smiled to himself as he imagined Jimin walking back into the library to find Jungkook sleeping on the table. His smile only grew as he walked to his bedroom and flung open the door. “Jimin!” Jungkook cheered happily, ready to surprise Jimin. But… where was Jimin? Jungkook’s smile quickly disappeared as he stepped into their bedroom and saw nobody sleeping in their bed. Jungkook’s heart stopped. Did he not come back? The last thing Jungkook remembered was waiting patiently at the table for what seemed like forever and then nothing. He must have passed out. Jungkook rushed out of the bedroom and into the main library, calling out for V frantically.

V walked out of a back room, looking very annoyed. “What in the name of all of Disneyland could you possibly want now?” He looked tired. Maybe, under different circumstances, he would have felt bad for potentially waking up V, but he was under too much stress at the moment to really care.

“V, Jimin’s gone. He didn’t come back last night. He’s… He’s not in the bedroom, he’s not here in the library. He’s not anywhere here.” Jungkook moved over towards V and gripped his shoulders, maybe a bit too tightly, as he spoke, his voice straining.

V froze. He suddenly seemed much more awake, much more present than Jungkook had ever seen him. Without another word, V rushed out the door. Jungkook, though confused, immediately followed suit. They both wordlessly ran down the street, past various shops and a few attractions, stopping for nothing. They kept running until they reached the shop of the old lady. There was still no of sign of Jimin anywhere.

“Jimin’s not here! Do you think he’s in there?” Jungkook pointed at the shop the old lady worked in, his chest heaving rapidly from both running out of air as he ran and panic.

V still did not answer and simply ran straight towards the entrance of the shop. Jungkook could hear violent barking, but he still followed V persistently. The door to the shop opened with the light ting of a bell, a deep contrast to the frantic manner in which the two burst in. Jungkook looked around. No signs of Jimin. The barking intensified and two large dogs ran into the main room of the shop. Jungkook liked dogs, but the way these dogs ran towards them, barking ferociously, made him jump back.

“Woah! These dogs are huge! Do you think these dogs scared Jimin away and he got lost? Maybe one of them got loose and chased Jimin away?” Jungkook spat out, saying anything on his mind that could possibly help find Jimin.

Suddenly, a man walked into the room. “What are you doing in here!?” The man seemed angry and confused. “The shop is closed! My dogs could have attacked you!”

Jungkook looked quickly at where the sound was coming from and saw the tall man standing in the room. “Did a man come here last night with books? Blonde hair? He brought you cookbooks. Where did he go?”

“Oh, yeah, I got those,” the man said. “The boy who dropped them off seemed rather pleasant.”

“But where did he go? Did you talk to him? Did he say where he was going?” Jungkook continued to ask questions, feeling hopeful that this person might give some leads as to where Jimin might be.

“Uhm, come and sit,” the man gestures them into what looks like a living room on the other side of a door. “We can discuss it if you really want.” They all walk into the room adjoining the shop and sit down.

Jungkook sat down in a chair and stared at the man who assumedly owned the shop. “Please answer my questions. This is very important that we locate where this man is.” Jungkook fiddled with his thumbs impatiently.
