A/N:  Just in case there was some confusion regarding one of the things I mentioned on planning after the story is finished. Regarding, being open to suggestions on additional scenes.  These will be bonus chapters following the story.  They could be anything that happened from a different person's perspective, or they could be something you would have liked to see happen that didn't originally exist in the story (as long as it fits that is).  The only reason I brought this up last chapter, and the other future plans, was to plant the seed to start thinking of suggestions.  I do apologize if I worded it poorly in the previous chapter.  

Anyway, on with the next chapter.

"First of all, I am exceptionally sorry that I had to call this meeting in the middle of the night for all of you. Because of the urgency of the situation I felt it was within reason to do so." Namjoon addresses the Big Hit team on the other end of the video call that he is streaming from his laptop. The other members are currently either sitting beside him or standing across the room. There simply isn't enough room for them all to fit in the frame of the video camera within this small living room area.

"It may be two in the morning here, but I do agree that it makes sense to get this resolved as soon as possible. First and foremost, I want you all to pack your bags and leave the hotel as planned after we wrap this conversation up. We will be releasing the global news an hour after we get off the phone here, and I want you to be out of the hotel before then. Now, I want you to fill me in on everything you know."

The members once again rehash all the information they have. "We can't be for certain who all is involved but due to Korain, Youngmi, and Hye Rin's disappearance we can only hazard a guess that they are probably responsible."

"You said Korain is missing?" Bang Si-Hyuk and Han-bin both repeat simultaneously in stereo, reflecting obvious concern for the missing security guard.

The members all look at each other in immediate confusion at their outburst regarding the situation. All except Jk who is still seething about what he perceives to be Korain's hand in this.

"I'm sorry, but do you have something to report regarding Korain specifically that we should know about?" Namjoon asks.

Just after he utters the question there is a knock on the door of his room. Tae, who is closest to the door, gets up to answer it. His eyes bug out of his head at the sight in front of him before he automatically finds himself allowing him in. Korain comes into the room and his clothing is completely disheveled, his knuckles are ripped open, and his face is cut and bruised. "I'm sorry. I tried to chase them. I tried to find where they took her. I failed. I managed to catch Youngmi on his way back, or wherever he was going. That's why I look so wonderful right now. Unfortunately, he did a number on me and knocked me out. I only just now regained consciousness."

The members look up at Korain with complete confusion. Namjoon frowns himself and turns back to the laptop to look Bang-nim in the eye. "Perhaps you should tell us what you have been holding back regarding Korain."

Bang-nim sighs. "Would that be okay with you?"

"Let me give you the last location I saw the car at first. I need to take care of these scrapes and bruises and get some rest since, outside of my forced unconsciousness, I haven't slept a wink. Trust me those hours of darkness were definitely not rest. I'm exhausted." BTS members honestly hadn't had a wink of sleep themselves, but none of them chose to interject the discussion with that fact. Korain rattles off an address and the car that Youngmi was last seen driving. "I don't know if Youngmi has been working with Hye Rin this entire time, or if he only helped temporarily so I am not sure how much his location will help. But, something is better than nothing."

"Agreed," Bang-nim replies. "Now, go get some rest. I will inform everyone of what you have been up to behind the scenes."

Korain nods his head before leaving the room and heading to his own. Although because he isn't in front of the laptop Bang-nim doesn't see it for himself. He only waits until he catches the sound of the door closing behind him. "Korain first came into the company under the guise of being a security guard. He of course had all the requirements necessary to fit the role, but that wasn't his initial purpose for applying for the job. Originally he was supposed to write an exposé regarding what went behind the scenes with Bangtan Sonyeondan, but when the facts indicated that you boys were nothing but pure and honest he went back to the company he worked for to inform them there was no story. He even admitted to his boss that he fully planned on letting me know of his betrayal afterward. Only his boss at the gossip rag he worked for wasn't happy with that and told him to make something up. Instead of quitting our company he quit theirs, and yes, before you ask, he still came to me and fully confided in me what he had been originally planning to do."

"So, why did he stay with Big Hit then?" Tae asks, obviously confused.

"He stayed because I asked him to. He stayed because after that all went down I asked him to write a counter story of his own. An exposé specifically about sasaengs and how their actions impacted BTS in particular. Originally, the plan was to release the story some time after you had finally found your soulmates. Or rather soulmate. He was set on releasing the story sometime after the club event, but that's when we all realized that Daisy might be in danger. So, he stayed to protect her. When he got rid of her drink that night, he truly did so because he thought she had drank too much. He didn't intend to tamper with evidence, and was just as upset with himself as you all were with him."

Jk frowns. He grabs the laptop and turns it toward him. "So, what about the night he suggested sleeping with the five Army? I can't excuse that night. They were crying and hurt."

Bang-nim sighs. "Jungkookie, that night was not what it seemed at all. Those five young women were great manipulators. It was them that suggested the vulgar acts to try to get backstage. It wasn't Korain at all. In fact, he wanted to explain his actions to you that night, but he didn't want you to think poorly of those women. Nor did I want him to have to explain his undercover job, which he was also set to do after the incident that night."

Jungkook then realized how misplaced his anger was. He relived the conversation he had with Daisy back in his head when they were in Brazil. He somehow remembers what she told him verbatim.

"I'm not saying what Korain did wasn't wrong, but perhaps there is more to the reason he is still with us than you know. Or perhaps the story that you know isn't the same as the truth. Look, I'm not telling you to go search for answers. I'm just telling you to try to work past it if you can."

Shit. I should have taken her suggestion more seriously, but fuck I couldn't see past my own anger regarding that night. What would she say to me right now if we were together? She would probably tell me something about being able to validate how I feel, but reminding me to keep having a creative outlet to refocus that pent up anger that will probably come over me.

Namjoon must have taken the laptop back from Jk when he was lost in his own thoughts.

"Because of the situation I plan on coming over to Monte Carlo when I can. I just have to sort out the specifics. I will let you know how long it will take." Han-Bin announces.

Bang-nim nods. "I'll sort out a way to use one of our private planes. Hell, I will probably send multiple that way so I can get you all back here as soon as possible after you find Daisy. I'll send Han-Bin in the small one, but I will also send the large one over to bring you all back to Seoul when you are ready to come back."

Park Jiwon is seen off on the sidelines typing up on his laptop. "According to commercial flights the least amount of time it would take would be just under sixteen hours. I am sure we can at least get you closer to the fifteen hour mark, but that's also depending upon how many stops the planes will need to make to refuel."

Han-Bin shrugs him off. "I mean the sooner the better, but let's wait on working out the numbers when we know them for certain. What I want to focus back on is the fact that you, Park-nim, were the one to suggest they all go to the club that night." All of the members look at each other only just remembering this fact now that he brought it up again.

Park Jiwon suddenly panics. "I swear I only suggested that after my son mentioned the club opening up that night."

"Then the question arises why would he suggest a club where Daisy gets attacked during what can only be an obvious planned moment that night. Perhaps, we should have been more thorough in the way we investigated this moment at the time." Han-Bin suggests.

Park Jiwon sighs. "He is probably still up playing his silly video games. Let me call him. If he is awake I will have him come in."

A half an hour later a tall yanky young man, of at most twenty one years old nervously comes into the room. He bows in greeting as he enters the room. "Seunghyeonie, we have something we want to ask you." Bang-nim addresses him. "Please have a seat."

His legs wobble as he walks to the seat. Once he sits down he nervously glances at each of the people seated around him. His eyes widen when he sees the members of BTS on the monitor sitting in front of him.

Han-bin clears his throat. "Seunghyeonie, I know the occurrence happened months ago but I was curious why you mentioned the club opening to your father. We only want to know because BTS' soulmate was targeted at the event. Someone wanted to cause specific harm to her there."

Seunghyeon absorbs the information like a sponge and frowns when something occurs to him before sighing in exasperation and thudding his forehead against the table. "I'm such an idiot." He lifts his head back up as tears fill his eyes. "My girlfriend, or I thought she was my girlfriend, suggested I bring it up in passing. Make it sound like the social event of the season or something." He blushes bright scarlet. "Crap. She used me."

Due to his blush Hobi, Namjoon, Yoongi, and Jimin, who are the ones sitting in front of the laptop, all immediately connect the dots to how she was able to get in his good graces. She more than likely seduced him with sexual favors, and asked him for something in return while he was flying high on the endorphins afterward.

Seunghyeon continuously mutters things to himself before Han-Bin tries to regain his attention. "What's this girlfriend's name?"

"Yun. Yun Hye Rin."

It's June 24th and all of the BTS members are struggling to keep their spirits up. After all it is their soulmate's birthday, and they have no clue where she is. She could be hurt and has probably, more than likely most definitely, been mistreated. So they are once again hounding the Police Chief the minute he enters their temporary residence.

Chief Alain Soyer is 100% invested in the case. It is one of the only reasons that the members haven't searched for someone in a more global seat to take over the case. They trust the older Monégasques gentleman to get the job done. Although since it has been four days they are beginning to wonder if he might be in over his head. There hasn't been too much in the way of evidence. The letter only had Jimin's fingerprints on it. The cameras at the tables in the Casino didn't catch much due to the angles they sat at. They caught when Daisy got up, and they caught her back around the time she left, but that was about it. Then of course the footage from the hotel wasn't that helpful either.

"I come bearing good news! Looks like the criminals in question made a huge slip up. They didn't think to cover their tracks regarding the house they were renting. I mean how likely is it that another Korean would be renting a house in the nearby area? The minus is it is technically in France so I have to get the French police involved also but it is just southwest of here. Not far away at all."

None of them are patient, but Jin is probably most patient at the moment so he quickly relays all the information in Korean to Han-Bin. The security guard groans in response. "He probably shouldn't have told you that much. Don't take off trying to determine the exact location on your own. I mean it."

"What did he say?" It was because Chief Soyer noticed how agitated Han-Bin had seemed that prompted him to ask the question. Once that is translated to him he pales. "Yes, please let the authorities handle it. The police in that area should be on their way now."

Youngmi immediately jumps into action. He had scoped out the rental house BTS was staying at early on their first day in Monte Carlo. Someone from security had to go and indeed make sure the location was private and secure enough for their needs so he volunteered for that position. While there he tapped several of the rooms with bugs to keep tabs on the information they received so he could protect his sister when needed. Good thing he did so too, because they needed to hightail their asses out of here. Pronto.

He runs downstairs and hopes that she might be in the kitchen or something, but of course she is currently in the garage with all the other members of her 'circle' antagonizing their prisoner.

Youngmi stops in front of the costume his half sister is wearing. "You need to get out of here. The police are on their way."

"What?!?!?"

"We all need to get out of here!"

"Not just her!"

"She's the one that got us in this predicament in the first place!"

"I don't want to be her escape goat!"

"Please, don't leave us behind!"

Youngmi doesn't care who utters what. He only is worried about getting his sister out of here.

Hye Rin nods to him before saying, "In a second, Oppa." Then, before he can stop her, she pulls the cloak and mask from her body and marches over to the cage. Daisy is currently alert for once and standing at the bars that form the door keeping her locked up tight. Hye Rin spits in her face. "You are a money grabbing piece of shit! Namjoon is mine! Not yours! You filthy piece of trash! I'll make sure to steal him from you someday!"

Youngmi pulls out a syringe from his pants pocket that he happened to grab before heading downstairs and when Daisy turns slightly away to clean up the mess from her face he grabs her arm and depresses the drug into her bloodstream. He preferred using the chloroform, or the drug that he had been lacing her drinks and food with. But, the syringe was easier to administer this way.

They barely can make out sirens in the distance when he grabs Hye Rin by the arm and escorts her away. 

More first correct reader's assumptions:

LusstyKitty was the first who mentioned being suspicious of the Park Jiwon's son.

Bts_wingsera also mentioned being suspicious of Park Jiwon's son around the same time, and was the first to consider the scenario may involve Youngmi.

JDeeMsc was the first to believe Korain was innocent.

I missed this one last chapter but Ann123muir asked if Hye Rin was going to kidnap Daisy when she was first introduced to the story.

irisflower98 realized the POV at the end of chapter 125 was Korain's.

A couple of other people admitted to starting to think that Korain was innocent last chapter, ilovepietromaximoff and ElmoPittah.
