'They use her as bait' I said as a conclusion and Taehyung nodded his head.

    'Just keep this to yourself okay? but I do wonder; did you tell anyone about your relationship with her?'

I thought about it 'just my brother and Jimin was suspicious when he visited me and I have no idea who he told, and father asked something about it so perhaps he and mom suspect something as well.'

Taehyung shook his head in understanding.

      'Okay that's clear. I will try to keep you updated. '

       'Thank you' I replied.

        'Uhm I also heard you took Bono in. Thank you for that' Taehyung indicated.

        'Yeah it's her only family, she said' I answered.

         'Exactly'

          'You want to see him?' I asked taehyung and his eyes lit up with enthusiasm but then he shook his head.

        'I will go on with my search for y/n, I'll see Bono later.' 

Taehyung then left and I walked Bono. Our garden was quite big and we took a very long walk outside, I felt rather bad for Namjoon. I mean that he had to follow us all the time.

We returned just before dinner time, so that I could take a shower and dress again. because I actually had been sweating from running with Bono.

I stepped inside and Yeonjun rushed my way.

     'Why didn't you pick up your phone?' he asked distressed.

      'uh I'm sorry I was walking bono, Namjoon was with us.. what's going on?'

      'a wrapped box arrived for youand we read the card and you have to come asap.'

We almost ran into the main hall where the box was. Father, mother and Jiya were also there.

Mother handed me the card with concern in her eyes.

Dear prince,

Time is running out to save your princess. We want the ransom and we want it from you alone.

--- Sensitive content ---- 

I unwrapped the box first because it was decorated and then opened it.

I gagged as I saw what was in there. I instantly felt nauseous and it didn't take long for me to vomit. Yeonjun and father also bend over to see what's in the box.

     'is that....?' Yeonjun asked horrified. 

It seemed he couldn't actually say it.

     'is that a finger?' my father let out but also with disgust.

I couldn't look at it again.

     'I will call mr moon rightaway' father immediately indicated.

My body filled up with terror and an incredible fear.

They wouldn't stop, this whole plan of staling didn't work.

It only made it worse. y/n lost her fucking finger and it would scar her for life. and what would they send next?

I got up but I felt dizzy, I made my way towards the door.

Namjoon was there again but I tried to get passed him, not thinking straight.

Not really thinking to begin with. Seeing the finger suddenly made it so real, I mean it already was but now I couldn't think to myself she wasn't in real danger if we did what they asked. These guys weren't playing around.

--- End Sensitive Content ---

     'I need to go' I said disorientated.

      'I can not let you go sir' Namjoon replied.

        'I need to go' I repeated.

And right at that time I felt a hand taking mine.

        'no please Jungkook, lets first wait for mr moon' my mother begged me, she was crying.

In the distance I could hear my fathers voice calling for backup.

      'I need to go' I repeated again, it was as if it's the only thing I could say. This fear inside of me made everything else irrelevant, I didn't care if I had to trade myself for her or that I wouldn't survive. I didn't care.

The thought of y/n in actual immediate danger was taking over.

I stepped again towards the door but mother now grabbed my whole arm.

      'Please Jungkook, we will figure something out. let's wait for Mr Moon to decide what we should do next.'

Yeonjun had also arrived at my side and he pulled me in for a hug 'listen to mom, let's wait for Mr Moon'

In some way his embrace brought me back to a more sane state of mind. and I nodded. because I knew we needed a plan and Mr Moon probably had more experience in this field. 

Half an hour later he arrived, he was accompanied by Taehyung. We greeted each other and mr Moon asked for where the box was.

We hadn't moved it but we had put it closed again, as it was rather horrific.

Taehyung opened the box and the change in his face could probably have been some sort of reflection of my own, that pure terror. He gagged but soon got a hold on himself again.

Mr Moon on the other hand kept his emotionless face throughout. he looked at it with interest instead of disgust.

     'How did this box arrive?' he asked.

      'uhm like all the other mail, and our security always checks it but as they saw the message they decided it to immediately forward it to us' father replied.  

      'hmm okay. I would like to see with dna if this is actually y/ns' Mr Moon stated calmly and I looked at him.

        'You're saying this isn't y/n's?'

         'Not exactly. I expect it to be, but we should be sure. They haven't sent you any picture of her, did they?'

I shook my head.

       'Then we don't know'

       'Then what the fuck are we going to do?' I suddenly shouted.

I had grown frustrated and impatient by the way mr Moon was talking as if nothing happened.

       'Jungkook' my mother let out in incomprehension but as she met my angry eyes she didn't say anything else.

      'We should discuss our next steps calmly' Mr Moon answered calm as he ever was.
