The maknae

CHAPTER TEN

<indicates phone recording>

°indicates emphasis on a word

Security was sent to search the restrooms and surrounding area, looking for any possible hiding spot or exit the missing  nurse may have taken,  while Bahk was on call with the forensics team, sending them a copy of the hospitals video footage.

"Sir, we may have found something." a statically male voice spoke through the walkie sitting on the desk. 

The head of security grabbed the walkie as he called out to the detective. "Detective, they found something." 

"Hang on a sec." Bahk told the forensics tech as the head security officer responded to his officer via walkie talkie.

"What did you find?"

"A needle, an unlabeled brown bottle, and surgical gloves."

"Tell them I'm on my way." Bahk said as he put his phone back to his ear. "I got something for you boys and girls at the lab. Expect drop off within the hour." he informed the tech on the line as he made his way out of the room and, hopefully, toward a new lead in this case.

Tae's phone vibrated, signaling an incoming call.

*BZZ BZZ*

He pulled his phone from his pocket and read the caller Id.

Incoming call.....{ Tae's Jae }

ACCEPT - DECLINE

*BZZ BZZ*

Tae hesitated to answer, to do so, he'd have to leave the room, he'd have to relinquish his hold on Jungkook's hand, and that was something he couldn't bring himself to do.

*BZZ BZZ*

But Jae °was his boyfriend...

His thumb hovered over the phone screen.

*BZZ BZZ*

*BZZ BZZ*

*BZZ BZZ*

He rubbed slow, gentle circles on Jungkook's fingers as he slightly and gently tightened his hold on them, glancing longingly and lovingly at the unconscious boy, before turning his gaze back down at his phone.

*BZZ BZZ*

*BZZ BZZ*

ACCEPT - DECLINE

*BZZ BZZ*

*BZZ B-...

DECLINE.
