Breakfast was over, and Taehyung was flinching in his seat because he really,really need to leave with Jungkook now. The plate in front of him was half empty, seeing as Taehyung ate only three bites of what was given to him. Sure the food was great, delicious even, but he can't eat with the lump in his throat and the heaviness in his heart. All he could think about was Pa, Seokjin, Pa, Seokjin. "We should really get going." Taehyung nudged Jungkook, and the other boy turned towards him. Jungkook nodded when Taehyung shot him an annoyed glare.

"Okay, so guys, me and Taehyung should-

"Taehyung." Namjoon suddenly spoke up, "Taehyung, what do you do?" He asked, eyes intensely staring into the younger making him gulp. "I -" Taehyung went to continue but was cut off by the loud yell that resounded from above the castle. Yoongi and Hoseok's eyes widened and Yoongi dropped the fork he was holding before he excused himself and rushed out of the room. Namjoon let out an annoyed sigh, "That old man had been here for a couple of weeks and he's already making a ruckus." Taeyung didn't think much about it but then, a couple seconds later it clicked. It wouldn't take Sherlock to put the pieces of things together, he only wished he was right.

"What old man?" Jungkook suddenly asked and Taehyung nodded along, wanting to know the answer himself. Namjoon looked up from his plate, glanced at Taehyung momentarily before shrugging. Jungkook's knuckles turned white from how hard he gripped at the coffee cup, "Hyung are you-"

"No." Namjoon growled, sweeping his hair to the side as he stood up so fast and harshly that the chair he was sitting on fall down, making dust flew up everywhere.

"Hyung, answer me, have you done it again-"

"Let me go!" A yell came from the castle and Taehyung  eyes widened at how familiar the rough, tired voice sounded and Taehyung turned around so hard that he almost got a whiplash.  He looked at Namjoon then at Jungkook and without another word, ran towards the way Yoongi did minutes ago.  Jungkook stared at Namjoon, trying to talk again but Namjoon stopped him. "Shut up and go home, Jungkook."

Taehyung ran through multiple halls and stairs, just trying to follow his father's voice that bounced off the dusty walls of the large castle. He panted, looking around with tears in his eyes, he's lost, he's fucking lost in this fucking castle and he just wishes Jungkook followed him. "Please." Taehyung whispered, "Pa, I can -" He wouldn't catch it if he wasn't looking, the way he saw flashes of light from the stair case that leads to the hallway. The sandy haired male let out a short sigh of relief before making his way up the stairs in a rush.

Upstairs was a mess, he was met with his dad in a cell and a worried looking Yoongi and Hoseok next to it, just talking. "P-Pa." Taehyung managed to let out, walking towards the cell and falling on his knees, "Pa, you're. . . how did you. . .?"

His dad shook his head, "Taehyung, w-where's Seokjin?" The weak man asked, barely holding on the steel railing, "You have to go back, you can't go leave him what if-" Before Taehyung could comprehend what was happening, a hand covered his mouth and his eyes. He yelled, trashing around in the strong grip before the chemicals got to his brain. Taehyung tried to stay awake, he really did but the darkness consumed him and he had fallen limp in the arms of the unknown stranger. His eyes slowly slipped close against the warm hand, he could hear the faint yell of his father and he knew he should stay awake but he was slowly drifting and suddenly, everything converted into darkness. 

Taehyung woke up to the familiar room, he immediately sat up but fall back because of how bad his head hurt. He slowly glanced around the room, only to see Jungkook asleep on the chair beside the bed. "Jungkook." He croaked out, voice rough from just waking up. The younger jolted awake, eyes immediately widening when he saw Taehyung. 

"God, you're awake." Jungkook mumbled, "I'm sorry I did it I-"

"It was you?" The sandy haired man asked, unable to take in the information that was piled on him. Never once had it crossed his mind that Jungkook would be the one that placed him in this position when he clearly thought he could trust him. "I-" Taehyung whispered, "I never thought you'd-"

"I know, I'm sorry." Jungkook whispered back, sitting on the bed next to the elder, "You've been asleep for days, I was so worried, but I had to do it, if I didn't you would have. . . my brother could have gotten into trouble, I'm sorry, please." Taehyung glanced at the door of the larger room, the the windows only to find them sealed. "The doors are locked, you're not going anywhere, neither is your father, I'm sorry." Jungkook mumbled sadly, looking down at the older boy who now had tears in his eyes.

"Jungkook, please, I need to go. My brother is probably scared waiting for me to come back, please you don't understand, he needs me." Taehyung pleaded, "Please."

Jungkook wanted to, he swore he wanted to let Taehyung go, let him save his father and return back home to continue his once ruckus free life but he couldn't albeit he wanted to, so bad. But he have a brother that's on the verge of madness, if people found out about this, about them, he dare not think of what ugly fortunes would come for them. "I-I'm sorry but you're not getting out of here." Jungkook muttered, walking out of the room with one last guilty look thrown in Taehyung's direction, "Mianhae, hyung."

"Jungkook, Jungkook please!"

"Please." Taehyung cried, holding on the covers as he tried to call for the other to come back, he just wanted to get out.
