Author's POV

Jungkook came back home exhausted, the only thing he wanted to do right now is to hug his mate with all his remaining strength, Jungkook head straight to their room but find it empty. He looked inside the bathroom, empty too. Then he remembers that Taehyung had a meetup, but it is past 8 PM is he still there? Jungkook starts to worry, he went back downstairs and search for a maid.

Jungkook consults a maid he found.

He responds and Jungkook just nods and got lost in thought. The maid was patiently waiting for him to be dismissed.

Jungkook interrogates again.

The maid bows and rushes to leave afraid to get called again especially since his service is finished.

Kookie stares at the path leading to the King's office. Three hours, what have they been telling each other for three hours?

Unconsciously or consciously Jungkook starts walking towards his father's office curious about their conversation and also pissed that his mate is not with him.

In front of the door, small noises were heard. Jungkook was not able to tell if they are yells or laughter because of the insulating effect of the door. He was on the verge of knocking when the door opens up on itself unveiling Taehyung and his father laughing. Yes, laughing.

The King says noticing Jungkook at the doorframe.

Kookie asked eye-scanning his father and his mate.

Tae responds smiling at him but Kookie was not going to buy it.

The King pets his son's back.

Jungkook perplexedly watches them but decided to brush it up and go with the change of topic.

Ok, now Jungkook was more curious about what happened in that office.

The King responds glimpsing at Taehyung.

Jungkook wanted to assert but was cut off by Taehyung's phone.

Tae took off his phone from his pocket and grimaced when he saw an unknown number, he picked up and put on the loudspeaker.

-Hello? Taehyung starts.

-How are you nephew? The man judging by the voice says.

Taehyung confused look at the king and his mate not knowing what to do. The King signals him to end the call certain that it is a hoax but Jungkook took the phone.

-Who are you and what do you want? Kookie roughly says.

-Oh my in-law. Sorry but I wasn't talking to you, I want Taehyung.

-Not before you answer my questions.

-Well, I know you know who I am.

-uh hum.

-Ah, things are going to be interesting now. Then nothing after that, they were left in complete silence for a few seconds. Sorry for the waiting. So life for life give me my dearest nephew and I may not kill his mother. Say hello to your son. The man shouted to someone from behind the phone and a sound slap was heard after that statement, and then sobbings and cries followed.

Taehyung shouted recognizing his mother's voice. Taehyung was terrified and start to shivers as tears run down his cheeks, is he the man his mother told them about? No, she said he died but his brother escaped... Oh my!

His heart started to race and his hand moistened. The thought of his mother with them petrifies him, after what she when through, all the stigmas he doesn't want those for his mom ever again.

-I will send you the information via this phone until then have a good day.

And the call ends. Jungkook hurry to call him again wishing to collect some information but the phone number saw no more attributed to a person has said the voice on the phone. The King took his phone out and start calling someone requesting them to come quickly.

Taehyung mumble paralyzed by the fear of losing his mother permanently.

Jungkook heeds by Taehyung states, he hugs him and releases relaxing pheromones to calm his mate.

From Kookie's voice, Taehyung starts to calm down.

Jungkook carried him to their room and laid him on their mattress. Jungkook tells Taehyung to rest here while they are working to find her but Taehyung refuses, he wanted to help too.

Jungkook pleads as he wipes tears from Taehyung. Seeing his mate in this condition hurt him so much, he wants to replace that sadness with joy and bit the shit out of that person for each drop of tears Taehyung let out.

Taehyung nods and hugs Jungkook before putting himself comfortably on the bed. When Jungkook left, Taehyung gets up. How can he sleep when his mom has been kidnapped?

He tried to find solutions on how to help his mom but the only solution for him was to do as they want.

Meanwhile, in the living room, the rest of the family knows too what happens and they wanted to comfort Taehyung but they found him asleep.

Taehyung had a busy day, meeting with the Gulf, the discussion with the king, and now that? Too much to handle for a little being like him.

The investigators and hackers tried everything to localize him but it was arduous, especially with this little information, all they want is for him to call back so they can trace the call.

After hours of trying the king call it a night and everybody was sent out with the instruction to come back tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Jungkook is asking himself how to announce to Taehyung that his father was found dead on the stairs of their house.
