A week passed, everything went normal. Jimin could go home and we were back at college. We haven't seen Taehyung since and he only ever texted that he was busy.

-----

"-n? Y/n?" I blinked a couple of times realising that Jimin's face was right in front of mine. "...Woah, you were really zoned out there. You ok?" "Yeah... just thinking."

He frowned and nodded, looking down at his food. I sighed and pulled out my phone, texting Taehyung.

Y/n

Tae?

I waited a minute but he didn't reply. "What is it?" Jimin asked. "Don't you think it's a bit weird? Tae definitely said that he'd come the day after that day... but he only ever texts saying he's busy... he doesn't even pick up any calls."

"Yeah" he sighed and said, "He doesn't even tell us what he's so busy with." "...Did something happen then?" "...Ask him."

I nodded, looking down at my phone to text again.

Y/n

What have you been so busy with?

It's been a week

You're ok right?

Again, he didn't reply. I sighed and put my phone down, saying, "no reply." Jimin nodded, and his face clearly showed worry like mine.

There was definitely something up with him. He only ever texted briefly, like 'I'm busy' or 'sorry I can't see you rn'...

TIME SKIP

Later on Taehyung texted back.

Tae

Just around the house and all, there's a lot of work

I don't think I'll be free soon though

I'm sorry

You keep saying sorry, don't worry

But are you ok?

Yeah, don't worry

Is Jimin doing well?

Yeah, he's fully recovered

Good to hear, well I gtg, see you

yea bye

I sighed in relief as I put the phone down, getting up from my bed and going to get some work done.

Meanwhile, Jennie's father chuckled to himself, putting the phone down and walked over to the half dead body leaning weakly against the wall.

Crouching down in front of him with a smirk, he grabbed Taehyung's hair harshly, pulling it so he would look up even though he could barely open hid eyes.

"I think I might kill you" Taehyung just let out a groan through his parted lips at the strong grip on his hair. "You've caused nothing but trouble... it would be better if you're gone."

Letting go of his hair, he stood up and glanced down at Taehyung. "You can stay here and die slowly, no one will even know you're here."

He walked out, leaving a sobbing and in pain Taehyung on the cold ground.

TIME SKIP

"I'm going to see Taehyung" Jennie said putting on some shoes. "What? Why? He's with Jimin" Taehyung's father said. "Yeah, I should meet Jimin, he wasn't conscious before."

"Alright" he sighed and Jennie went out, going over to the said location. Taehyung didn't reply to his texts yesterday, so she decided that she would just go anyways. She had nothing to do anyways.

Once she got there she rang the bell and a few moments later Jimin opened the door. "...Jennie?" "Hey... is Taehyung here right now?" "Taehyung? No... I haven't seen him in a week."

Jennie froze. "A week?" "Yeah... why? Did he go out without telling you?" "H... how is he not here?" "Huh?" "Taehyung said he came to stay with you!"

Jimin was confused. But it all soon came into place. Taehyung had gone missing. "...Did something happen to him?!" Jimin bit his lip and gestures her to come in, then he grabbed his phone and called Y/n.

"Hello?" "Y/n, come to mine right now." "What happened?" "I... I think some thing's happened to Taehyung." "What?!" "Just corm quickly, Jennie's here too."

He hung up and Jennie was walking around the room biting her lip. "When did you last see him?" Jimin asked. "A week ago... he was going to the hospital and later he messaged that he's going to stay with you for a while..."

"Something happened that day..." he then widened his eyes. "DID HE GET KIDNAPPED?!" Jennie widened her eyes too.

It made sense. Someone kidnapped him that day and someone's been texting him through his phone the whole time so no one would suspect anything...

The bell then rang and Jimin went quickly to open the door and I walked in. "What... happened?" I panted. "I think Taehyung's been kidnapped..."

I widened my eyes. "I think it was my father..." Jennie said clenching her fists. "...Why would he kindap Taehyung?" Jimin asked.

"He's the only person that I can think of who would do it..." Jimin clenched his fists then asked, "Is there a way to track Taehyung's phone?"

"...There should be... let's go and see Taehyung's father." "Ok... Y/n keep trying to get to him."

I nodded, pulling my phone out as we got out of the house, going over to Taehyung's house.

----

Taehyung was untied and alone. He sobbed in the darkness, the only thing he could feel being pain.

A ringtone made him freeze, sniffing as he looked around weakly. And then he saw it. His phone. He didn't take his phone.

Using all the energy he had, he went over, grabbing it and answering the call without looking at the caller ID.

"Tae?! Are you there?!" "Y... Y/n..." "Where are you?!" "I d... don't know... it was Jennie's father... h... he kidnapped me then left me here" "Send your location through your phone, ok? We'll call the police, don't worry and hold on, ok?"

I nodded weakly, then realised that she couldn't see it. "…Taehyung?" I coughed and let my arm fall to the floor.

No, I have to send the location... I lifted my arm back up, quickly sending my location before dropping the phone, closing my eyes.

-----

I turned off the phone and waited a minute, then I got a text with his location. I quickly ran into the other room where everyone else was. "I got his location."

They looked at me and I showed them the text. Taehyung's father took the phone and said, "Ok, you all stay here and I'll call once-" "No, we're coming with you" Jennie said.

He sighed and said, "Ok, but I'm going in first." He was about to walk out but I stopped him. "I don't think anyone else but him is there, he said that he was left alone."

"Still, to be safe I'll call for backup. Now come on." We all followed him and got into a car, going off at a fast speed.
