Will You Accept Me?

Chapter Twenty-Six

"So, how do you feel, as we now conclude our last session?" Jisoo asks. "I feel much better than I have previously. I always thought stuff like this never works but it did and I feel better for it." "That's great." Jisoo replies. "Remember, you have our numbers, so if anything does happen, feel free to call us." "Of course, thank you." Hoseok gets up, bows lightly and exits the room.

Standing outside are his two mates. He slips his hand into Yoongi's and they head out, not speaking a word. But, of course, they don't have to. They enter Seokjin's van, sitting in the back like always. Seokjin drives off, the boys erupting into chatter. Namjoon, Jimin and Jungkook had tagged along when Seokjin went to pick Hoseok up because they planned to go to a restaurant to celebrate Hoseok's final session.

Hoseok has not been told about this, but does not question their presence. "Wah!" Hobi exclaims when he looks out the window to see them pulling up to his favorite restaurant. The boys all 'aw' in response. They then get out of the van, Taehyung helping Hobi out, who is bouncing on the balls of his feet. They enter and are automatically led to a reserved private room.

It's a dimly lit, dark wood, 10x15 foot room. There are two tables with their legs attached to tracks on the floor, which allows them to be moved easily to accommodate any number of people. The seven boys are only using one of these, so they are separated. Chairs are stacked in the corners so Seokjin and Namjoon work to set them all around the table.

They are all situated a couple of minutes later. Seokjin had also had their food prepared so they are served a few minutes later. Each of the boys gets a glass of water along with their preferred drink and a medium sized entrée. Hobi squeals at the sight of the burger and fries. And the Sprite. He goes to dig in but is stopped by Yoongi.

He tucks a napkin into the top of Hobi's shirt and spreads it, making sure the napkin covers as much space as possible. It would be a pain trying to get any stains from the food out of his shirt. Hobi smiles brightly before turning back to his food and eating. Just as Yoongi thought, he does it messily. Most of the food does enter Hobi's mouth.

Chimmie is eating in much the same manner and Jungkook looks on in shock. For one, he did not realize Jimin had regressed, and two, he found it unbelievable how most of the food misses the little's mouth. Yoongi sends him a smug look and Jungkook just grumbles before continuing to eat himself.

Taehyung soon notices Hobi squirming, almost as if he has to go to the bathroom. "Hobi." Said boy looks at Taehyung, cheeks full of food. "You have to go potty?" Hobi swallows his food before nodding the head. "Mwee too! Mwee too!" Chimmie says, arm raised up as if at school. "Ok, let's go." "Nu-uh, keep eating, we'll be back quickly." Hoseok says. Him and Chimmie get up, Hoseok clasping Chimmie's hand firmly.

They leave the private room and ask a passing waiter where the bathroom is. He points to a sign on the far right of where they are standing. Thanking him, the two boys quickly head over. They enter the bathroom, the only two in it. The both pick a stall, equipped with a urinal and toilet. Hoseok finishes up before Jimin and heads out of his stall to wash his hands.

He lowers his gaze to the sink, fully concentrated on washing his hands. So concentrated, he does not notice the door open, nor the person who gets closer to him with every step. It's only when he looks up when finished does he see them. The face of his sister, to the left of him in the mirror, with a cunning look on her face. Before he can do anything, a rag is placed over his mouth and nose and he falls into unconsciousness.

"Kookie!!" Chimmie comes running into the private room, tears streaming down his face, no Hoseok with him. "Chimmie!" Jungkook exclaims, face full of shock and worry. "What's wrong? Where's Hoseok?" This just makes the boy cry harder. "He's not there." Taehyung says in a choked voice. "and... and I.. I can't reach him." Yoongi pulls Taehyung into his arms.

"Fuck." Seokjin says. He quickly uses an app on his phone to pay for their meal and they leave. "Namjoon?" Namjoon has the best nose in their pack and has an outstanding tracking ability. "I can't get anything." The boy says, frustrated tears coming out of his eyes. "Fuck." Seokjin looks around the area, but can find nothing out of the ordinary. The only thing they can do is call the authorities. Seokjin raises his phone, calls the emergency number and asks to be redirected to the police station. "I'd like to report a missing person."
