every knock on the door made Taehyung's body shake. every time he saw a car drive by he felt terrified. every time he heard his phone ring he thought that he had been caught. how did Jungkook live like this?
as if on cue his phone ring, making him flinch violently before answering it.
"get your ass to my house now!" Jimin yelled and Hoseoks panicking could be heard in the background.
the line disconnect and Taehyung slipped on some shoes before walking down the street to Jimin's. when the door opened the was pulled to the couch where Hoseok was clearly shaken up at. "please sit." Jimin said and sat down beside Hoseok who immediately took his hand.
Taehyung sat down with an odd look on his face, unable to read the scenario. "w-what's going on?"
"it's about Jungkook." Jimin spoke with a stern gaze.
"huh?" Taehyung sat up, "what about him?"
"he was taken into police custody a half hour ago."
"what!" Taehyung yelled. he pulled out his phone and dialed Jungkook's number twice but both times he was met with a dial tone meaning his phone was off completely and wasn't getting cell service. "why? what happened."
"they think." Hoseok paused and couldn't continue. he motioned for Jimin to finish.
"They think Jungkook killed Hoseok's father."
Taehyung froze. his sudden lack of works passed as confusion and disbelief to Hoseok and Jimin but in reality he was shocked that Jungkook had gotten caught and was now in police custody. now what? what would they do? would he go to jail?
"you know him the best," Jimin started but Taehyung cut him off immediately
"he's not like that! he would never hurt a soul, he could never hurt anyone!" he lied though his teeth, "Jungkook the definition of an angel."
"i know how you view him but just-"
"i'm telling you he could never do something like that! he's only been here for two weeks. what reason does he have to hurt anyone!"
Jimin sighed in defeat and backed down. Hoseok was only crying silently because this meant his step father was no longer missing but confirmed dead.
wait.
if he's confirmed dead.. that means they swept the river? Taehyung's father is in the river. Ara is in the river. Elrae is in the river. so many others are in that river. Jungkook will be gone for life with no bail, "holy shit." Taehyung covered his mouth as he ran to the bathroom and threw up his breakfast.
his phone rang and he answered it after he rinsed his mouth and flushed the toilet. "hello?"
"baby."
"Jungkook! where the hell are you?"
"i'm outside, lets go." the line ended.
"where are you going." Jimin asked as he watched Taehyung rush to the door. he stopped and decided not to lie. it was unnecessary.
"Jungkook's here."
"you're going with him! he's possibly a murderer Taehyung! you don't sense the danger in that scenario?" Hoseok spoke harshly, wanting to save his friend from the same fate his step father got.
"he's not a damn murderer! i've know him since he's been here. he's never hurt me, okay?" and with that Taehyung slammed the door and stormed to Jungkook's car.
his mood immediately changed when he saw Jungkook's rosy lips parted, showing off his bunny smile. "you called me but i couldn't answer."
"i know, Jimin told me."
