"Any news?" Yoongi asks, eyes searching for answers on his dongsaeng's face.

"Not yet, I am sorry," Namjoon chooses rather to focus on the floor than to see his leader's hopeful expression wash away as he gets out of his car in the warehouse's entrance hall.

"Anything new on Jeongguk?" he questions, hoping to hear at least some news about the missing brother.

"Nothing...Still nothing," Yoongi says with no emotion in his low-set voice, focused look slowly clouding.

"How about the tracker's team? There has to be something!"

"There's nothing, Jeongguk! Got it?! There's nothing more we can do than keep trying," Yoongi screams back, losing his tempter with the youngest who only shakes his head and rests his forehead against the cold wall.

"There has to be something..."

"Don't you think I would have already done it if there was anything?" the leader tries to go on with a calmer tone but gives up as Jeongguk's hand collides with the table, hard.

"We are not trying hard enough!"

"We are doing everything we can!"

"It's been two days! Ellie's been there alone for two fucking days and I can't do shit to get her out of there."

"Jeongguk, listen to me," Yoongi reaches for Jeongguk's shoulder but he only shoves him away, not letting him touch him. "I am sure Ellie knows we're doing everything we can to find her."

"No," he shakes his head. "We are not. If that was true, she would already be here."

"So, what are you planning to do then, Jeongguk? Go out there alone again and risk getting yourself killed? That's not how we solve things and you know it."

For the first time in a while, as the silence falls between the two, Jeongguk lifts his head up, shaking his head slowly as his glassy eyes look at his leader.

"I have to do something."

"You will get yourself killed, Gguk," Yoongi's voice stops him at the door before he can walk out.

Jeongguk stops there for a moment, rethinking his decision again but for him, it was clear.

"I am not dying before I bring Ellie back."

Yoongi's vision is clouded with the memories of the day before. He's never seen Jeongguk like that in years. So broken, hopeless. He's always been the one who couldn't be broken, never showing any sign of pain or fear. But none of that was longer a part of Jeongguk who stood in front of him that day. He was so angry yet so fragile.

"Listen, hyung. I know you are blaming yourself for all of this, but none of us could have stopped it. Not from here and you know it," Namjoon speaks up; a comforting hand squeezing his older brother's shoulder. "It's time to stop blaming yourself and do everything we can to get Ellie back."

"I am pretty sure I have already heard that somewhere," Hoseok speaks up, stepping in from behind their leader, a little smile on his face softening the atmosphere.

"How do we do this without Jeongguk?" Yoongi asks, shaking his head in frustration.

"You figure out the new plan. I will get Jeongguk."

"There is no need to. We already got him," Taehyung who appeared from behind the three speaks up.

The four men look up towards the slowly opening gate at which Taehyung is pointing, everyone recognising Jeongguk's car driving through.
