"What do you mean?"

"He was a double spy and we are currently trying to find him. He... betrayed us, Jungkook," Namjoon sighed as he put forth the truth.

"That can't be true..."

"Unfortunately, it is. Jin had worked over months to find the hotspot of Zhu and decided to catch him red-handed in the act. Jimin had been consistently in touch with him to find out something about that. And I guess he got the air of it and fled the country."

"Where is the hotspot?" Jungkook asked in a serious tone.

"What's the point? Jimin would have already informed Zhu about our plans and it's like falling off a cliff after reading the danger sign," Namjoon sighed as he lifted himself off the bed.

"I would like to take up the mission!" Jungkook announced and watched the male stop in his tracks.

"I won't allow it, Jungkook. We have already made a mistake and can't afford to commit it the second time."

"The Jimin I know wouldn't do it. I trust him, so let me go," Jungkook uttered and got off the bed.

"Do you think this is some kind of a child's play? Jimin had been in your place. He was bold enough to take this tough job and ended up being traumatized for the rest of his life. We don't know if he is working for the man or hiding away from him but one thing for sure is that he isn't working for us-"

"He is expecting me, Hyung. It's a tough job, I agree and the consequences are worse than hell but someone has to do it, Hyung. Someone needs to catch that bastard and throw him behind bars. We can't back off now," Jungkook began and held both of Namjoon's hands in his, "Let me take up this mission, please?"

"What's the status? Any clues?" Yoongi asked over the mic as typed the codes over his computer.

"Not yet, sir!"

"Then fucking work your ass off and find something!" Yoongi howled over the mic and slammed it against the desk.

"You need to keep your head calm, if you are working under the Base Station," Jungkook said, as he approached from the back.

"Now which fucker wants to have a fist fight with me?" Yoongi stood up from his chair in anger and turned toward the new voice.

"Your boss!" Jungkook chirped as he watched Yoongi's anger-filled eyes turn soft.

"Kook..." Yoongi began and the word only pricked Jungkook in his heart. A hundred different moments spent with Jimin just brushed over his head but he suppressed the small tear that dared to slip past his lower eyelids.

"I am back, Hyung," Jungkook smiled softly and stretched his arms for the male to hug him. Yoongi didn't waste a single moment and jumped into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"I missed you, asshole."

"I missed you too, Hyung." Jungkook patted gently over the male's back before pulling him off his chest, "And you said, you don't like hugs."

"I was emotional, you bitch! It was just a one-time thing," Yoongi sniffed and stepped back.

"Yes, my highness, I got it," Jungkook chuckled.

"Why are you here?"

To find my Mimi.

"I am assigned for a mission, Hyung," Jungkook answered.

"Which mission?"

"To capture Zhu's hotspot!" Jungkook declared and saluted Yoongi before heading towards his room to change up.

"Wake up my little angel," A voice chirped inside Jimin's ears as he squinted his eyes open.

"Mm...hmm..mmh," Jimin tried to speak but the tight band of cloth against his mouth prevented him from talking.

"You shouldn't be moaning here, baby boy," the man smirked as he let his finger trace Jimin's jawline.

"Mhm! Mhm!" Jimin shook his head violently and tried to move back. His heart rummaged inside his ribcage every time he heard the man speak. His anxiety laced his veins as he felt a constricting force against his neck.

"What made you think that I would let you go after teasing me like that?" Zhu smirked as he pressed his hand against Jimin's neck.

Jimin's lungs were this close to giving up when Zhu let go of his neck. He coughed violently as he bent forwards. His chest heaved up and down to take in the air that he was deprived of.

"Did you bring the information, honey?" Zhu asked as he leaned back to trace a circle with his finger over the wine glass.

Jimin quickly nodded a 'yes' and stomped his feet to get those restrictions off his legs.

"Now that's like my good boy," Zhu chirped and ordered one of the men to take off the cloth around Jimin's mouth.

"They...found your hotspot," Jimin confessed.

"And?" Zhu asked cleansing his ear with his little finger not satisfied by Jimin's answer.

"And they are planning to catch you red-handed," Jimin mumbled with fear.

"Baby, do you think I am a fool? I know that much information. Tell me something in detail instead of some vague bullcrap," Zhu snickered and slapped Jimin; he clutched onto Jimin's nape and pulled him closer to face him head-on.

Jimin stopped shivering and looked back at Zhu, "First tell me where my brother is?"

"Ou! You are still that sturdy young man, huh?"

"I...will tell you everything but first I would like to know where my brother is," Jimin put forth the deal.

"Baby, do you think you are in a position to cut a deal with me?" Zhu asked.

"Yes! And guess what bitch! You are currently dying to know which one of your private hotspots is going to be bombed. You wouldn't afford to kill me before you have your information," Jimin smirked as he watched Zhu grit his teeth within his mouth.

"Fine then, I will let him go." Zhu casually answered and leaned back.

"R...really?" Jimin asked as he gulped back a lump in his throat.

"Hmm, but I have a condition," Zhu replied.

"What ...condition?" Jimin stuttered unsure of the man's wishes.

"Work for me."
