The very next day, Jungkook was the first to wake up as he rushed into his brothers room to stir them awake.

"Hyung! Hyung! WAKE UP. WE NEED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. WAKE UP." Jungkook was literally running back and forth his brothers rooms to wake them up.

Within seconds, both Jimin and Jin are up coz they know the younger was frantically buzzing them early in the morning at 7 am to visit Hosoek before he gain consciousness.

.

Precisely at 8 am, all 3 brothers arrived at the hospital and gathered around the ward to visit Hosoek.

"I still can't believe someone would do this to him." Jimin wiped away his tears looking at how worn out Hosoek looked with multiple bruises around his face and body.

"Jimin ah, don't worry. Our Hosoekie is a strong boy, he will be fine. Doctor told me he is showing signs of improvement, all he need is rest." Jin hugged Jimin to console him and gave Jungkook an assuring smile when he saw the younger too was sobbing looking at Hosoek's condition.

"Hyung, can we just leave the cafe closed for the day? I want to be here with Hobi hyung." Jungkook voiced his desire to Jin.

"Yea of coz, we will all be here when he wakes up." Jin ruffled the younger's hair as they all surrounded Hosoek.

"Oh Hyung! Look, Hobi hyung is moving!!! Hyung look!" Jimin's eye grew wider as he saw Hosoek scrunched his nose a little and squeezed his eyes a few times.

"Oh!" Jin walked closer and monitored his brother.

"Hobi...Hobi hyung?" Jungkook slowly called out in a trembling voice.

Hosoek slowly opened his eyes with the sound of Jungkook calling him out. He blinked a few times and realized its the faces of his beloved brothers.

Tear flow off the side of Hosoek's eyes as he slowly mustered a weak smile on his lips indicating he is happy to see them and he is somewhat alright.

"I will get the doctor. Be back!" Jimin smiled and ran out of the room to return with the doctors in order to inspect Hosoek's condition.

After a while, doctor gave Hosoek a thumbs up of approval that he can be discharged after a week and requested to update the others with his condition.

"So, Mr Kim Seokjin, as the eldest of them all, I just need to warn you that Hosoek was beaten up pretty violently and it's a miracle he is even conscious now. Be very careful on his recovery and its better if you don't force any statement out of him as he might still be suffering from mild concussion which may result with certain memory losses."

The doctor carefully explained to Jin while the other 2 was closely listening at the back.

"So does it mean he have memory lost now?" Jin asked worriedly.

"Well not entirely, I mean he still know who you guys are and everything else. But due to the traumatic experience of being held captive, he might not be able to recall certain incidents or faces of the people involved with the kidnapping."

"Bloody hell! I wanted those fckers to be sent to jail and now Hobi can't be forced to testify." Jin clenched his fist full of anger knowing his brother's health comes first before anything else.

"Look Mr Kim, I know you want justice for him, but I suggest you allow him to recover and we shall see how. We need him to be fully in a stable condition."

"Yes doctor, I will allow him to recover and I understand. Thanks for everything." Jin forced a smile to the doctor although he is literally fuming with anger.

The doctor nodded in acknowledgement and left the brothers to accompany Hosoek but warned them that maybe all 3 of them might be a little too crowded for the space and since Hosoek is fine, perhaps some of them can leave home.

.

"Hobi hyung, I love you k? Please eat well, sleep well. I see you later at night?" Jungkook was the one sent back home first since he too suffered certain injuries from the fall yesterday.

Being the youngest and probably the most stubborn among them all, he informed Jin that he rather spend some time at the cafe and open it for half a day since he has nothing better to do and no art class to teach.

"But I thought you wanted to stay here at first? Why you're even bothering about the cafe now? You need to rest Kookie." Jimin was concerned.

"I know Hyung. But I'll be bored at home besides if I can't be with Hobi Hyung then I might as well work a little at the cafe to distract myself." Jungkook pleaded.

Seeing how the younger sounded so lonely about being home alone, both Jin and Jimin decided he can go to the cafe but with the condition to not over work and be safe.

"Jungkook ah, just close the cafe a little earlier later and be careful alright? I have informed Officer Carl to tighten the security around the area but just don't be there till late night. Stop by to visit Hosoek later." Jin carefully informed the younger.

"OF COZ! I wanna see Hosoek hyung later. No worries hyung, I will be more careful. I won't be caught off guard anymore." Jungkook hugged all his hyungs good bye before leaving to their cafe.

Taehyung's POV

"Urm? Hosoek is fine?" I asked Namjoon hyung as he walked into my home accompanied by Yoongi hyung.

"Yea, I checked in with Officer Carl, apparently he woke up and he is fine. Although he might be suffering some memory losses about the incident. But all good." Joon hyung said as he dropped himself on the couch.

"Hurm, great then."

"Yah Taehyung ah, probably next time, tone down a little can you? You literally almost killed an innocent man." Joon hyung rolled his eyes at me.

Well I see. I know where is this coming from, I can't really tolerate that Joon hyung keep bugging me due to the fact that he some sort of in love with Jin now.

Before I could say anything, I heard Yoongi hyung scoffed off.

"Namjoon, just coz you love that Jin guy, it doens't mean you can speak like that to Taehyung, we did what we did, its just so happen we didn't know it was the wrong guy."

YEA! YOU SAY IT YOONGI HYUNG!

I was cheering him mentally for taking my side.

"But Taehyung, just a little side note, next time, tone down a little. We do not wanna commit unnecessary murders."

What the hell? I was just cheering on Yoongi hyung. Never mind. I just rolled my eyes and said 'fine' just so I don't have to keep hearing the same lecture from them again and again.

"We still have to find this Park Ho Seok and end this drug business once and for all in our city. We cannot afford to make the same mistake again." Namjoon hyung said.

"About that, I guess good news for us, Park Ho Seok will be coming to town very soon. In couple of weeks." Yoongi hyung gave us his gummy smile and grinned proudly.

"Couple of weeks?" I asked.

Yoongi hyung nodded and retrieved the iPad in his jacket and showed us the details he have found.

"Are we sure this info is right?" I asked again.

"Yes you bastard, this is right, I got the info from the numbers I have been tracking from James contact. I even have audio calls tracked to confirm the details. He will be right here in coming weeks. We have to plan properly and take him down."

"I think we didn't realize he was out of town all these while hence we didn't track him. By the way why is he returning?" Namjoon hyung was curious.

"He is coming to attend an international business gala. I suspect he is going to trade drugs with other high profile tycoons under the table as these type of functions are very common to become the transaction spot for illegal businesses." Yoongi hyung explained.

"Well well well...I guess I will have more fun getting this bastard down this time then. International style." I smirked with the thoughts in my mind.

Author's Note

Hello! 💜

Sorry if this chapter has been a little disappointing, I needed a filler and I think this is the chapter. Hahaha

I am still having a rough writing pace with this book, as I need some brain juice to keep me going. I might be changing some initial plot as I am creating the story as I go, I hope it turns out well.

Lowkey missing badass Taehyung!
