Forty one

As soon as Seokjin stepped into Taehyung's apartment, he went straight to the kitchen. He came back with two cups of tea. One for Taehyung, and one for Jungkook.

"Drink this," he said, holding the cups in front of the boys.

"Thank you, Hyung," Taehyung said.

"What happened?"

Taehyung sipped on his tea before answering. "Minya came up to me a few days ago. She bumped into me from behind. I turned around to see who it was. And it was her. She's grown so much. She's almost my height. She was so small, so precious..."

Taehyung broke down into tears. The memory was way too painful. Seven years. That's how long Taehyung had gone without seeing anyone from his family. He loved Minya so much. She had been so young when Taehyung was disowned. He didn't blame her for anything. She was too young to understand.

"We'll find her, okay?" Jungkook whispered into Taehyung's ear.

"Tae, you should stay here. Jungkook and I can go look for her."

Jungkook and Seokjin stood up, as soon as they saw Taehyung nod.

"Wait." Taehyung said, making them stop. "She has blonde hair. That'll help you look for her."

"Bye, Tae."

"Bye, Kookie."

Jungkook was back in the alley where Taehyung fell unconscious. This time Seokjin was with him. They were looking for any sign of life, but there didn't appear to be any. They looked behind every box and trash can, moving back and forth, still they didn't find any sign of life.

"There's no one here," Jungkook said.

"There must be," Seokjin said. "We have to keep looking. She must be here somewhere. It makes no sense otherwise."

"It makes no sense that she would be here."

"It makes every kind of sense."

"How? Why would she be here?"

"Otherwise she wouldn't have made him fall unconscious in here."

Jungkook turned around so he was now facing Seokjin. He had no idea what Seokjin was talking about.

"She made him fall unconscious in here, because it's a dark alley, and there's no one around.

"That's wrong. You were there."

"I still don't get it."

"If she could move around wherever she wanted to. She would have waited until Taehyung was completely alone. From what Taehyung has told me, she's clever. She wouldn't make such a mistake if she could avoid it." Seokjin explained.

"Let's keep looking then. Taehyung seemed to really care for her."

And so they did. They kept flipping boxes and moving trash cans. But there still wasn't any sign of life. Everything was empty.

Jungkook was about to give in to the failure. But he couldn't let Taehyung down. He would never do that. Taehyung meant way too much for him, to just give up this easely.

"Other here!" Seokjin called. "I found something."

Jungkook ran over to him, looking in the direction he was pointing. "What is it? I can't see anything." Jungkook said.

"I'm sure a saw someone behind those boxes." Seokjin mumbled.

Jungkook started moving the boxes around, looking for whoever Seokjin has seen. A whimper came from under one of the boxes, making Jungkook stop his movement, not wanting to scare the person underneath him.

"Hey," he said. "My name is Jungkook, I won't hurt you. Please come out. I'm only here to help you."

A head appeared from one of the boxes. It was a girl with blonde hair.

"Minya?" Seokjin asked. The girl whipped her head around staring at him with big eyes, wondering how he knew her name. "Taehyung sent us. We're his friends. He wants to see you. Will you come with us?"

"T-tae?" She asked, her voice rough, like she hadn't talked in months.

"We'll take you to Tae. He misses you. Please come with us."

"Where is T-tae?" She asked.

"He's at home," Jungkook said, moving a bit closer to Minya, who immediately moved away.

"Prove it," she said, staring into Jungkook's eyes.

Jungkook took out his phone finding Taehyung's contact and facetiming him.

"Did you find her?" Taehyung asked as soon as his face appeared on the screen. Minya shot up at the voice, moving a little closer to Jungkook.

"We found her, but she's scared and doesn't want to go with us. She told us to prove that you were at home."

"Give her the phone."

Jungkook obeyed Taehyung's request and gave Minya his phone. She took the phone holding it out in front of her face.

"Minya?" Taehyung asked.

"Tae!" Minya squealed at the sight of her beloved brother.

"It really is you. I missed you so much. Please follow Jungkook and Seokjin, they will bring you to me."

"Okay," she said, before hanging up.
