Taehyung leaned forward and pecked Jeongguk's left cheek, then his forehead."Gukie...", the elder smiled, although his eyes held pain."...You're free."
Before Jeongguk could blink, he was pulled away from Taehyung. The red head came back to his senses."Wait!Wait! Taehyung!"
Jeongguk saw how an officer cuffed the blonde man's hands behind his back and pressed him against a car."Kim Taehyung you're under arrest for trafficking people, suspect of murder and kidnap. Everything you say might be used against you in court.", the police officer pushed Taehyung in the car and shut the door.
The man holding Jeongguk turned him around and smiled."Hello Mr Jeongguk, your brother has been looking for you."
"Where are they taking Taehyung?", completely ignoring the officer's question, Jeongguk asked, mind going crazy."They are taking him where he belongs to, in jail. We've been looking for that guy under trees and rocks. As well as Mr Evan and Mr Min Yoongi."
"But...but how did you...?", Jeongguk breathed heavily, the information that Taehyung will be in jail sinking in."Kim Taehyung himself called us, we were very surprised indeed. And also we found this mansion so easily, we've been looking for it for ages along with Mr Min and Mr Evan."
Jeongguk looked to the side and saw two men dragging Evan to another police car.
"Jeongguk!", as on cue, Jimin ran towards him and stopped abruptly, eyes red and sweat glistening on his face."Yoongi...he...um...he fainted and um-", Jimin licked his lips, trying to calm down."-we have to help him...please...please Gukie I know he's bad but-"
"Don't worry Mr Park, we called an ambulance.", the officer replied."I'm very surprised that both you and Mr Jeon care about your kidnappers."
Jeongguk wasn't listening. His eyes were locked into another pair of warm ones.
Taehyung's blue lenses when Jeongguk met him were dreamy, but his natural eye color, a warm brown, sometimes black under the lighting, was so much better.
And Taehyung stared at him with a smile.
A big, boxy grin.
Jeongguk just couldn't smile back. He stared at Taehyung, at the person who had kept him imprisoned, treathened him and was mean. But he didn't see that.
He saw a person who had a kind heart, a person who had suffered.
Jeongguk didn't think more, he started running.
With quick steps he was next to the cab, palms flat on the glass. He started pulling on the door handle, but it was locked.
Taehyung looked at Jeongguk and let himself drown in the other's teary eyes, in his trembling lips and rosy cheeks.
And just then, he was happy.
He was going to miss Jeongguk so much, but that wasn't important.
Jeongguk and Jimin will be safe, the police caught Evan.
Taehyung's smile faded when Jeongguk started sobbing from the other side of the glass. The elder shook his head and tried to mouth 'It's okay' but the red head didn't understand.
Because Jeongguk's heart hurt so damn much, like it was being ripped out of his chest.
The red head was pulled away yet again, his eyes never leaving Taehyung's.
Jimin hugged him tightly and both boys cried silently.
Maybe because they were finally safe or because they were just overwhelmed.
But they both knew, they will never forget Kim Taehyung and Min Yoongi.
Because behind those cold gazes, rough words and odd behavior, good people were hidden.
And in the end, the bad people don't seem so bad anymore.
In fact, behind every bad person stands a broken good one.
