Taehyung woke up at 7 am the next day, he stretched his arms and got up from his bed.

He didn't count today.

He made his way out the house as soon as he got ready, and went running to Jimin's place.

He was so excited, so excited to finally call Jungkook, to finally hear his voice.

He knocked on the door and this time Jimin opened the door.

"Ah Taehyung! Good morning!" He said.

"Good morning, Jiminie!" Taehyung said with a huge smile.

"Come in." Jimin said guiding him to his room.

"So what brings you here?" He asked.

"Oh I have good news, someone from South Korea sent me a letter and it has his phone number and a map! He said that he will help me escape once I contact him." Taehyung said.

Jimin's eyes widened, "How did he find you?" He asked.

"I have no idea, but I will know once I call him." He said.

Jimin hurried and brought the cellphone to Taehyung, they sat close to each other as Taehyung shakily started typing out the number.

Jungkook felt so tired.

He just didn't have enough sleep for the past week, he was always alerted, scared that Taehyung may call him and he wouldn't respond.

He slept for 3 hours last night, but he just couldn't help it. He wondered if Taehyung found his phone number, of course he would find it, he thought.

Just as he was having those thoughts his phone started ringing and he almost threw it, he looked at it and his breath hitched.

+001 850 2 381 8845 is calling you.

He quickly accepted the call and pressed the phone to his ears.

"H-hello, Jungkook?" He heard a shaky voice and his heart bursted out of his chest.

"T-taehyung? Is that you?" He asked.

"Yeah, that's me." He heard and he closed his eyes.

"I'm so glad you found my number, babybear. Your voice is so beautiful." He said.

The other line was silent for a second then he replied, "I'm happy to hear you too." He said.

"I promised you before, I would never let you go." Jungkook said, "Tell me how are you doing?" He asked.

"I'm happy." He said, "I'm also thinking of escaping tomorrow night." He continued.

"Tomorrow night? Why so early?" Jungkook replied.

"I can't wait more, everyone are ready, and I can't risk staying longer and the possibility of us being cought getting higher. Me, my mother, my friend and his mother and sister and his father's friend will all leave tomorrow." He said.

"I see. I will be there to get you to come here to South Korea, baby." Jungkook said smiling.

"I-I thank you.. But how did you find me?" Taehyung asked.

"It's a long story, once we meet up I will tell you everything, but the biggest reason is Yeri." He said.

"Oh Yeri, how is she doing?" He asked.

"She's fine, my father and I were the ones who helped her out of China to South Korea." Jungkook said proudly.

"Wow, that's really cool!" Taehyung said amazed, "Do you work as brokers?" Taehyung asked.

"My father does, he is a member of an organisation that helps North Korean defectors." He said.

"I see." Taehyung said.

"At what hour are you going to escape?" Jungkook asked.

"2am." Taehyung replied.

"Alright. I will be there. I can't wait to see your gorgeous face infront of me, Taetae." Jungkook said

"I-I c-can't wait to see you too." He said, "I need to hang up now. See you there." He said with a hopeful tone.

"See you there, my babybear." Jungkook said as the call ended.

Jungkook threw his phone somewhere in the room and burried his face in the pillow.

He talked to him. He talked to his babybear.

His voice was so beautiful, so deep but so fragile, he wondered if Taehyung blushed when he called him, his voice was so shaky and he kept stuttering, it was so cute.

He suddenly took his phone and called Namjoon.

"Good morning Hyung!" he greeted.

"Good morning Kook, you sound happy did you call him?" Namjoon said.

"I did! He is escaping tomorrow night at 2am with 5 other people! Now I need you to tell my father." He exclaimed.

"Alright, bring him and I'll talk to him." He said.

Jungkook went running to his father, "Dad! Someone needs your help!" He said in a panicked tone.

"What is it?" His father asked seriously and Jungkook handed him his phone.

"Hello mr. Jaebeom I'm sorry if I disturbed your mornimg. My name is Kim Namjoon and I have sent a map to a group of 6 people in North Korea, they're escaping tomorrow night and I'm asking if you could help them once they get out." He said.

"Oh! Of course I will help them, thank you for contacting me, I promise you that they will be in good hands!" Jaebeom said with a serious tone.
"Where did you tell them to wait?" he asked.

Jungkook panicked, "He told them to wait exactly where Yeri hided in the Jilin Province." He interrupted.

The Jilin Province is the closest chinese city to North Korea, it's right after the Tumen river.

"Oh I see, we will go there tomorrow." He confirmed.

As the call ended Jungkook's father looked at his son sternly, "Jungkook. Explain." he said.

Jungkook looked at his father with confused expressions, "Explain what?" He asked.

"I know damn well that there is something you are hiding from me, that strange request, your tired state for the last couple of days and now this, I'm sure it's connected. What's going on?" He asked.

Jungkook just looked at him and bit his lips, "You are right, there is something." He said.

Before his father could respond he interrupted him, "But I don't feel comfortable telling you yet, can you please wait until I'm ready? I promise I will tell you everything one day." he said.

His father looked at him and nodded slowly, "Alright, I won't pressure you. But you need to tell me one day." He said.

"Thank you Dad! So we are leaving tonight?" He said with a grin.

"Yes we are." He confirmed smiling at his son.
