      Taehyung drops his phone with shaking hands and cold sweats. He looks at the device like it killed his whole family and slowly, he feels a tingling sensation in his eyes. His vision blurs because of an imminent rain of tear drops.

Soon, his phone buzzes several times, causing him to get out of his gloomy daze. He picks it up and looks at the back of the device which is facing him. He fears the messages he will see if he turns it around. Therefore he prefers letting it that way for some time. He focuses on the Apple logo on the back of his iPhone for what seems like an eternity before finally mustering the courage to unlock his phone and take a look at the chat notifications.

Well yeah, a 19 year-old guy's body had been found on a road a week after the day Jungkook disappeared from the hospital. You surely didn't know that since you went to Tokyo to learn how to be the next CEO of your father's company.

After the autopsy, it was revealed that it was a male who actually escaped from a hospital. All the investigations led to the hypothesis of a suicide, he apparently jumped on a running car. It was said that he had psychological issues due to a traumatic experience and a severe scalp concussion. However for professional reasons, the guy's identity has been kept anonymous. He had no family that's all we know about him.

After the news spread, everyone started to make links with Jungkook's disappearance, underlining the similarities between both cases.

At first, we kept hoping. We didn't want to believe it..

HOeBItch
But as time passed, Jungkook was still nowhere to be found.

GrumpySmurf
Our hopes crashed down along with our determination to find him and fix all of this.

So we just carried on with our lives but as you can see it still affects all of us. Knowing that we killed him.

That's it. Tears roll down Taehyung's cheeks as he starts sobbing while choking on his tears. He doesn't even bother silencing his crying. He does not care. His Kookie is dead. He will never get to beg him for forgiveness. He will never get to honor all the promises he did to the younger when they were young.

Some hiccups can be heard in his hotel room. Jisoo, who is about to knock on the door to tell Taehyung that he should get ready to leave, appears to ear these heartbreaking sobs. She gets worried as she starts calling for her president.

"Mister Kim ?" She calls repeatedly while knocking the door non stop.

When she's about to knock once again, the door opens brutally and she is faced by a very gloomy looking Taehyung with red puffy eyes and a red nose from which some snot is drooling. In spite of his should-be pathetic state, he still looks divine to the young woman who's unconsciously drooling over him as she looks at him with hearts and stars in her eyes.

"Uh... S-sir you m-may get prepared for the soon to come meeting with RJ Wears CEOs..." The secretary says while trying to keep her composure in front of the handsome yet intimidating man.

The latter just sniffles and nods before closing the door to get ready, which leaves Jisoo dumbfounded as she was expecting a rude response.
However Taehyung has not the strength to act rude now. After what he just red, all he wants to do is to find Jungkook's grave and bury himself with the younger or cry on the grave until he grows old and eventually die.

Nonetheless, he got to get up and carry his responsibilities as a CEO. He freshens up a little bit then gets out of his hotel room to find a super worried looking secretary. He just releases a dry humorless chuckle and shakes his head.
