Untangling the past

___Jungkook stops at the table to see Taehyung for a few minutes.  He is happy to find that he has made friends with a deer hybrid from Exo,  Luhan.
Seeing that his baby is happy and socializing, he excuses himself and goes to find Mark.
After finding the man, he sits down and quietly says  "Can I talk to you privately about Taehyung?"
Mark looks at him intently and then nods.  "Lead the way"

___Jungkook leads Mark to his office and they sit in the comfortable chairs by the window, so they can see everyone.
"I was hoping you can give me information about the man Jackson took Taehyung from.  It's important because of something that has come up."
Mark nods  "I have his whole file in my computer .  I keep files on everyone Jackson dealt with, in case they try to retaliate.   Can I dare to ask what's going on?"
Jungkook thinks carefully  "It's 2fold.  On one hand I want to try to find as much about Tae's past as I can so I can protect him from anything that might come up."
He pauses deciding on his words.
"What I am telling you right now, goes no further than this room ok?"
Mark nods  "Absolutely.  I won't spill a single vowel."
Jungkook "Take a look over at Exo and give a long hard look at Baekhyun for me.  Tell me what comes to mind."
He waits while Mark looks at Baekhyun, studying him intently.
Mark looks at him  "Honestly, he makes me think of Taehyung.   Their faces are so similar, right down to the boxy smile.  Also, they are both tigers.  Look at the ears , they are the same shape as if the same breed of tiger, except Tae is white."

___Jungkook smiles  "Baekhyun has a younger brother.  He would be just about to turn 18.  He was a white tiger who was kidnapped from a park they were playing at when he was 7, almost 8.  He was never found and assumed dead.  He would be a siberian white tiger. He was called Baekjin."
Mark looks shocked, understandably.  "Park Bogum is the man Tae was taken from at 14.  He had Tae for 4 1/2 years.  I never looked into how he obtained the rare hybrid.  I do know he has tried every few months to try and get Tae back from Jackson.  He owed a massive debt obtained by bad gambling on a friday night.  Jackson went over there saturday night.  Bogum had the money in the bank, but on a weekend  had no way to get it out.  Jackson refused to wait till Monday  (This is a frequent thing with him to enslave people for debt) and demanded Taehyung in return or he would kill Bogum right there.  He really had no choice.  "
Jungkook  "Can you get me a meeting with him, somewhere NOT here. "
Mark  " I will call him and try.  I have his numbers because of his continued attempts to get Tae back.   He never has given up, Jungkook.   He took such good care of him.   Tae missed him and mourned that loss for a long while."
Jungkook looks at him "Maybe we can have 2 reunions for Taehyung.   I think he will like having his family back."

___Mark calls Bogum  and the man is happy to set up a meeting.  He is available tomorrow morning and they set the appointment.
"Let's go back outside to our party.  DNA on Baek and Tae will take a couple days.  We meet Bogum in the morning.  I have to explain to my little tiger that I have to leave the mansion for a couple hours.  That should really go over well."
Mark laughs  "Have Sanha and Yugyeom keep him occupied."
Jungkook laughs  "excellent plan"

___Jungkook sits down next to Tae and gladly welcomes the smaller one climbing into his lap.  He leans on jungkooks chest and sighs happily.  Jungkook kisses the top of his head and wraps his arms around him.  "Miss me baby?"
Taehyung purrs  "of course.  I made a new friend though and he kept me entertained."
Jungkook smiles  "Oh yeah?"
Tae points  "That's Luhan, my new friend.  He's really cute and funny.  He told me I have the cutest ears ever"
Sanha huffs beside them.   Tae moves to put his legs on Sanha.  "You are way more important Sanha.  Nobody will ever take your place."
With that Sanha hums happily, hugging tae's legs and watching the party.  His group giggles at the small interaction.  
Taehyung remarks suddenly "That one guy next to Luhan over there looks familiar, but I don't know why"
Jungkook smiles  "You could go over and talk to him or wave him over here.  That whole group would like to meet you.  We work with them a lot.  I let them see my ears and tail, so you know I trust them."
"I think I want to shift and wander around again.  I still have such an urge to mark things in the yard. "
Jungkook laughs as he kisses his head  "That is normal, my love.  Your natural instinct as an Omega is to clearly mark your territory so all other omega's know this property and Alpha have been claimed by you.  Want me to go with you?"
HE hears a super cute giggle  "You don't have to.  I want to be brave and maybe just take Sanha?"
Sanha immediately stands up ready for adventure.  Hobi , already running about in fox joins them.  His ears had heard the whole thing.
Jungkook "I will stand by in case you need me.  Just call for me."
With that he stands up to let his mate down.  

___Taehyung and Sanha shift and walk off to mark the garden.  Hobi stays nearby playing with random bugs.
Kai squeals happily as the sight of the panda, much to the delight of everyone.  "He's just soooooo cute!  I so wanna shift and join"
Suho  "No kai.  Remember Taehyung is shy.  Just sit still while he is marking.  He obviously feels the need to mark his territory because we are here.  Let's not upset him."
Baekhyun walks over to Jungkook and hands him something.
Jungkook looks up in surprise and takes a good look at Taehyung.
Baek  "See the front right shoulder?"
Jungkook  "Yeah.  That heart shaped mark is the same as this picture."
Baek smiles gently with teary eyes which makes Chanyeol run over  "The picture is my brother a month before he was stolen. "
Chanyeol looks at the pic then at the small tiger  "That is clearly the exact same tiger.   The heart mark , the ears and all the striping match."
Jungkook  "It's obvious, yes.  Please wait for the dna though, so we can approach him with all the possible information to answer his questions.  In the morning   Mark and I are going to meet the man Jackson took him from."
"Are you going to reintroduce them?"  asks Chanyeol
Jungkook  "that depends on our talk.  If he cares for Tae like I am hearing , then I might invite him back here tomorrow and see what happens.  Mark said Taehyung mourned the loss of Bogum in his life and constantly whined he wanted to go back home. "
He  pauses  "After we get the dna we will introduce you Baekhyun.  My team is going to spend tomorrow finding out the missing pieces between Bogum and the farm.  Hopefully Bogum has some paperwork on his purchase of Tae.  I want to find what happened and find who took him from his family.."
