Third P.O.V.

What the fuck?

This was the sole thought in Jungkook's head as he saw the two males that stood in front of him, glaring at each other.

His face showed vague signs of recognition of the men. He identified one of them as the random guy that he met just moments ago and others as a stranger who interrupted his meeting moments ago. All in all, he was in a café shop with two strangers.

'What am I doing here?' he mentally sighs.

Half an hour ago, Jungkook was leaving his college library. He had spent the past two hours trying to find a book on a concept he wasn't able to fully grasp in his commerce class. As he was exiting the building, with a headache from focusing too much, his phone had lit up with a call from an unknown number. He simply looked at his phone for a minute, his forehead creasing as he struggled to make a choice. Seeing as he had nothing to lose, he picked up the call.

Before he could get a word in, a robotic voice spoke up, and even though it was monotone, it sent chills down his spine. Jungkook panicked when he heard the caller stating a single order: to not leave his house.

And that's it.

Now clearly, Jungkook wasn't a daredevil or someone too egoistic to challenge the person. His looks might indicate his strength, but his shyness proved otherwise. However, since he was already outside the time, he received the call and was on his way home from his college library, he chose to go home anyway.

The plan was simple: he would lock him and his brother inside their house and notify one of his geek friends from college to trace the number. Given there was a high chance that it might have been a prank, but Jungkook knew none of his friends would play such a cruel prank when the exams, right before the winter break, were about to start. And they wouldn't have thought so much to cover up the numbers.

He rushed to go back home, but as he was passing by a familiar street, he stopped as he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around, half expecting it to be a repeat of what happened a week ago.

He was met with a guy who was probably his age, give or take a few years. The male in front of him had golden tan skin, his figure is somewhat lean yet muscular with an oh so handsome face. He processed his face, trying to find any semblance of recognition but failing to do so. The man, adorned in a business casual outfit simply waved at him to get him to snap out of the trance. With a cough, he looked up to meet the guy's eyes.

"Um hi?" Jungkook voiced out, unsure of his greetings.

The male in front of him chuckled before flashing a polite smile, "I'm V, you might be Jeon Jungkook.", he asks, the remark seeming more of a statement than a question. He continues, "I'll explain everything to you, including how I know your name and the voice call that you received recently." His words sounded oddly final.

Jungkook is caught off-guard by two things. Firstly, the deep voice, not how sexy it sounds (that too), but how familiar it is. He is sure he has heard it before, not a lot of times but enough to know it's someone he has recently spoken to. Secondly, the confident tone of the man who sounds like Jungkook is an open book that he's read through multiple times. Before he can ponder over it, he hears the snap of fingers.

"In the past minute that we've met, you've zoned out twice already. Do you maybe want to sit and talk?" Jungkook hesitates. This man looks like he knows a lot and there's no way Jungkook's about to talk to him in a secluded place. I mean who names their kid 'Wee'?

Jungkook clears his throat before asking, "Is this cafe fine?" The man nods.
