"Thank y-you hyung," Taehyung sniffed as Jin didn't waste any time in pulling his head to his chest comforting the younger boy.

After what felt like a few minutes, Taehyung pulled away wiping his tears.

"I'll go check up on Jimin," He said before strolling into the basement.

Jin stood outside letting his mind wander to all the information he just received when Taehyung's panicked voice rang through his ears.

"Hyung!"

"Jimin is missing!"

Jin rushed into the basement only to find the unlocked cuff hanging from the wall.

"How did he even unlock it!?" Taehyung held his head in despair.

"Shit what do we do now," Jin seemed tensed.

"Do you have any idea where he could go?" Taehyung turned to Jin.

"I'm not sure... Does he know anyone else other than us? Because he's probably planning to stay away from us till the Solar Eclipse so he can become immortal," Jin said.

"Uhm..." Yoongi walked in, "Have you guys seen Y/n? I've been searching for her for the past 10 minutes but she doesn't seem to be here."

"She might be here somewhere," Jin added.

"No I looked around well. She isn't here," He shook his head.

"What the... Did he take Y/n with him?!" Taehyung gasped.

"Fucking great."

"He must be somewhere here. There are not many places he can hide in so if we part our ways and search, we'll be able to find him right?" Taehyung said.

"Yes Tae, you go with Y/n's friend and I'll go alone," Jin said as they parted their ways.

"Not here...." Taehyung said peeping behind cars and trash cans.

"Yah, he's definitely not gonna be anywhere you're searching. That man is certainly clever enough to hide in a place where you've no idea of," Yoongi shrugged looking at Tae.

"I don't know anything about him nor his past but I'll try to help you. Now tell me, do you know anyone of Jimin's childhood friends?"

Taehyung stood there for a while looking up in an attempt to think. The pale boy just stood there tapping his feet waiting for the other one to give an answer.

"Ah!" Screamed Taehyung as he remembered someone.

"We three were really good friends in the past. The only person Jimin would know besides his brother and I is....

Jungkook."

Taehyung claimed to know where Jungkook lived so he took Yoongi with him to Jungkook's place. It was just about a 10 minute walk.

He pressed the door bell waiting for him to open up.

No response.

Taehyung pressed the doorbell again waiting for a few more minutes until the door finally opened revealing a familiar face.

"Whoa, you've been working out a lot lately huh," Taehyung said eyeing Jungkook from head to toe.

"Yeah," Said the bunny looking boy.

"Oh this is my friend Yoongi. Yoongi, this is Jungkook," Tae introduced them to each other before Jungkook moved away from the door inviting them in.

"So why are you here all of a sudden?"

"That's not the question you ask your friend when he visits you Kook," Tae shook his head disappointed as Kook's rudeness.

"Whatever, what brings you here?" He faked a smile.

Yoongi noticed that Jungkook seemed shocked to see Taehyung at his door, almost uncomfortable.

"Jimin......did you see him here by any chance?"

"No I haven't."

Jungkook's reply was instant, making things look even suspicious.

"Oh..." Taehyung sighed his eyes looking around for a clue.

His brows furrowed when something near the wall caught his eye.

A star earring.

Taehyung's POV

Jungkook wears earrings too but this seemed more like something women would wear. It's not my concern to bother who he brings over but that earring looked oddly familiar.

"Never knew you were the type to bring girls over Kook," I asked playfully.

"What do you mean?"

"That earring belongs to a girl, doesn't it?" I said eyeing that piece of metal.

"I uh-- that.." Jungkook hesitated to answer.

"Doesn't it look like Y/n's?" Yoongi's voice filled the living room.

"Oh yeah! I knew it looked familiar!"

"But why is it here?"

Both of our gazes turned to Jungkook expecting an answer.

"I-it's not like she's the only one who owns this kind of earring," Jungkook shrugged.

"You sound like you're familiar with her," Yoongi said.

*Thud*

Our heads piped in that direction when we heard that noise. It was more like something heavy fell down.

"Guys I'm kind of busy at the moment. I'll see you next time," Jungkook urged us to leave faking a smile.

"He's hiding something," Y/n's friend whispered into my ear.

"What was that sound Jungkook? Who are you keeping inside?" I asked.

"No one."

"Hold him down, I'll go check inside," The guy next to me whispered and paced inside before I could respond.

Jungkook was about to stop him but I held him so that he couldn't escape.

"If I find out that you're doing something wrong, you're screwed," I hissed at him.

"Look who's telling that," He smirked.
