Taehyung POV

Yoongi, being overjoyed about his childhood friend finally being released from the hospital took us out to eat to celebrate.

Whilst we waited for our food to arrive, I texted Jungkook a quick text but he didn't respond. I try not to overreact but he has always answered me back really quick.

I hope he's not mad at me

I shouldn't have opened my mouth, I should of just kept quiet, and ignored it.

I sighed

I felt an elbow suddenly bump my arm, turning my head to realize it was just Jimin.

" Are you okay? " he whispered

" it's Kookie he won't answer my texts " I whispered back, trying to not capture the others attention.

" don't worry, his phone probably died "

I faintly smiled, giving him a small nod

Jimin must be right, Kookie just forgot to charge his phone, Jimin has to be right.

The waiters then comeback, meal in hand, they arranged them throughout the table. I awed at the sight.

" I'm so hungry I can eat a horse! " Hoseok yelled

" isn't that cannibalism? " Yoongi smirked

" fuck you " Hoseok barked back

After finishing up we decided, well more like Jimin decided, that it would be a good idea to go to the mall to buy Yoongi's friend a small gift for his release.

We all split into two groups of three, Hoseok, Jin, & Namjoon being in one, leaving me, Jimin, and Yoongi to be in the other.

Jimin dragged us to a store filled with stuff animals. Like how old does he think Yoongi's friend is? Because he's certainly isn't 5.

As Jimin scurries around the small shop, me and Yoongi sat on a near by bench. I watched the fluff ball, constantly picking up stuff animals to examine them then putting them back in search for others. I heard Yoongi let out a chuckle, making me put all my attention on him.

Thinking that Jimin was the cause of the chuckle I joined in, chuckling as well.

" why are you laughing? " he asked, making me confuse

I tilted my head " aren't we laughing at Jimin? "

He let out another chuckle making me more confused then I already am

" no, I was just think about how well you and my friend are going to get along " he said as he stretched he's arm in the air

" why do you say that? "

He's arms fall from its position in the air, elbow positioning themselves on his knees as he arch down. He gave me a mischievous smirk

" Because you're just his type "

Did I hear him clearly!?

My cheeks felt like they were burning. I hid my face with my hand, trying to hide my cherry red face.

He let out a laugh, which made me turn even more red if that's even possible.

" W-what's his name? " I mentally cursed myself for stuttering

He was getting ready to give me an answer but out of no where Jimin comes running towards us, yanking us out of the area. Whilst being dragged by Jimin I can hear the store owner yelling behind us.

" What did you do? " I asked as we kept running

" I-I might of accidentally t-tipped over a shelf or two " he said between breaths

We finally came to a stop, now far away from where the crime was held, those poor stuff animals they had a whole life ahead of them.

I took my phone out my pocket to check if Jungkook has answered, he didn't. I kept trying to convince myself that his battery is dead but if that was the case he should have had plenty of time to charge it.

I huffed a puff of air and placed my phone back into my pocket.

Yoongi and I were then dragged to many other stores by the little munchkin. As Jimin wondered the stores, Yoongi and I with be in a middle of a conversation and I would try to gain more information about the others friend but Jimin would always butt in, running toward us because he did something else. That's how most of our day was spent, running from every store owners that Jimin pissed off.

After everything that happened we were still able to buy Yoongi's friend a gift. Jimin's gift being a basket of candy, Yoongi's, some t-shirts, and mine being a red beanie. Yoongi mentioned that others favorite color was red so I decided on a simple red beanie.

We soon met up with the others, who were also able to find a gift but being stubborn, didn't want to show it to us.

Jin and I finally arrived home and I wasted no time and ran to my room.

Jungkook should be there, he's always there whenever I arrive home. He would be laying on my bed reading a book or scrolling through his phone.

I open my bedroom door, eager to finally see him and hold him tight. As the door flew open I came to nothing more then an empty room.

Jungkook was not waiting for me.

I hurriedly grabbed my phone, scurrying my finger across the keyboard.

5 min past and still no answer

I decided to call

My heart kept pounding at an unnormal pace, as the line kept ringing. I smile formed on my face as I heard the other line finally pick up.

" Jungkook where-

" the person you are trying to reach right now is unavailable right now, please try again later, goodbye "

My phone escaped the grip from my hand and fumbled to the ground.

Tears began falling

I ran out the door, looking for Jin

" Jin!! " I yelled

No answer

" Jin! " I yelled once again

Still no answer

" EOMMA!! " I screamed with all my might

" Taehyung? "

I heard a faint voice coming from the backyard, assuming it was Jin I ran directly to the backyard. When I reached the yard, Jin was there, face full of worry as he locks eyes with me.

I ran up to him, he wrapped his arms securely around my waist.

" What's wrong Taehyung? "

" Kookie, he hasn't answerd me all day and I'm worried " I cried

" Kookie hyoong? " a small voice spoke from behind

I turned around to find a sleepy Woozi with an apple juice box in one hand.

He let out a small gasped when he saw me

" Teihyoonggi why you cwying? "

" I can't find Kookie " I explained, quickly whipping away my tears.

" Kookie hyoong? He was hewe a coupyl of minwtes ago "

" what?!"

" yeah, he gawe mwe this " His small tiny hands fumbled to his pocket and took out a small folded paper.

" hewe iwt's for you "

My trembling hands took a hold of the letter, slowly opening to read the words it held.

Dear my little, squishy lion

I know you're probably going bananas right now and I'm really sorry for worrying you. Taehyung, before I continue I just want to tell you that I love you so so much and there will never be a day that I won't love you. Here comes the hard part, Taehyung I have to leave for a while. Please don't go looking for me and always remember that I love you no matter what.

Bye my little lion, Kookie will always hold you dear to his heart.

I clenched the note to my chest, as if I were to loosen my grip just a slight bit it would fly away, leaving me as well.

Kookie left me, he promised he wouldn't leave me.

I didn't even get the chance to tell him how I felt.

" Baby, what did the note say? " Jin hesitantly asked, rubbing my back in a circular motion.

" K-kookie left me " I hiccuped as I grasped a hold of his shirt nuzzling my head deeper, trying to muffle my cries.

" What?! baby I know your hurt right now but we have to go look for Jungkook before he's completely gone " he gripped my shoulder

Jin's right I can't just stand here crying like a baby, which I tend to do often. I tried to compose myself, nodding slightly, signaling him that I'm ready.

He then quickly yanked out his phone from his pocket and quickly dialed someone.

" Namjoon, it's an emergency quickly gather everyone up and get here as quick as you can " he spoke into the phone

Jungkook I'm coming, please don't leave me.
