"No one escapes from life alive"

Almost five hours had passed since they last saw Jimin. Hana was getting angsty and worried, and an equally worried Yoongi, trying to console her. They tried to reach to him but his number always went to voicemail, alas went switched off. Hana was blaming herself for not taking Jimin with her to Station. 'Maybe he felt lonely' she thought.

Yoongi knew that something awful might have happened and he was so ready to strangle any piece of shit who'd harm his bestfriend but he was force to be quite for Hana's sake and because of a strange text sent by Jimin before stating 'I'll be late, don't worry about me' but how can they not worry about him when he had never did something like this. He was always that friend who would give unnecessary give TMI at every possible chance, be in person or text. So the awful cryptic message was enough to shake their ground. Usually Hana's the one, who kept her cool and console others if needed but even her head was swimming in negative scenarios threatening to drown her in the abyss of nightmare. And the yesterday situation didn't help their case.

While they were busy in self-wallop, the front door abruptly opened and closed with a low thud like someone didn't want to wake the sleepy ones. But it was way opposite, the couple were wide awake.

"Where were you?" Yoongi didn't want to sound rude but his gruff voice came out without any warning and it startled Jimin, who was trying not to make any noise. From his face, it was evident that he went from some serious shit, his droopy eyes got alerted as the audience came to his notice.

"Huh?" He dumbly asked which shook Hana from whatever she was thinking. She notice the exasperated look on his pale face, cheeks slightly hallow and flushed, eyes nervous afraid of spilling mysteries. But she was having none of it.

"Where were you? Jimin, we were so worried about you" she softly said like trying to talk to a frightened animal.

"I was out somewhere" he gave another cryptic reply which irritates Yoongi as he saw the dejected look on Hana's face.

"Atleast give us details, it's the least you could for worrying us to death" he deadpanned which was the last tick for Jimin.

"Then who the hell told you worry? Didn't i text you that I'll be late?" He screamed in fury but anyone could see the angry tears threatening to fall from his burning red eyes.

"No one had to told us to worry about you, we are your friends, you are out small mochi. How can we not care about you?"

It was Hana's soft voice and soothing touch on his back, which was moving in circular motion that led his strong dam of emotions to spill everywhere and the traces were angry tears decorated his tired face.

"P-police Stati-" he end up hitching between his crying which instantly moves Yoongi to act and help his friend who was having a mental breakdown.

"Take deep breath minnie, calm yourself first, we can talk later when you'll get fine"

It took him more than few minutes to get calm. And it was the most slow and painful minutes for Yoongi and Hana. They could see their friend's terrible state and felt helpless at the moment.

"So, when I-i went to my workplace to talk to Jackson about the girl. We were just in the middle of conversation when a cop arrested me without giving a hint. Boss tried to negotiate with him, but he was not having none of it. Thankfully Jackson's brother is a intern at some law firm. It was when the cops were ready to tell me reason of my abrupt arresting" Jimin explained between his hiccups and drank some water, Hana graciously gave him.

"Why were you arrested Jimin?"

"Can you believe them? They think I was the one who's behind Miss Lee disappearance. Some workers at the pizza place give them the false head that I was always chasing her and causing problems. What even in sweet heavens? I had barely talk to her that I can even count in my small hands. I don't even know her full name" he was furious from the false accusation and the humiliation he had to suffer.

"Then how did you get out? Did they believe you?"

"Jackson, he told them the truth and about the creepy behaviour of that girl. The receipt of this cottage also helped me as it indicates that I was on a vacation when she went missing. His brother issue urgent bail for me but the cops are still hot on my tail"

"Oh it's nice to know that you got some loyal friends but what about your phone, we tried to call but it went to voicemail" Hana asked sincerely and embrace him wanting to secure him from evilness.

"They confiscated my phone but that's not the point"

"Why? What happened? Are you injured somewhere?" Hana asked, ready to grab the first aid box but Jimin hold her hand, shaking his head that it wasn't the case.

"No, the cops traced her phone and this area was the last location shown on the device which strongly made me culprit. They would not back off my case, they believe that it's me who had done this. And if i didn't bring some real evidence of my innocence then they will arrest me again, even Jackson's brother couldn't help me" his voice was small clearly in dilemma of the event.

"What? That's unfair!"

"Yes, and i barely have a week to prove that i have nothing to do Miss Lee's missing case"

"I feel something fishy about this. Did the cops tried to search here, in this town" at that Jimin shook his head.

"No, they had transfer the case to the cops here"

"Do you guys think, maybe Kim Seokjin is involved in this?" Hana questioned.

"Baby, how did you come up with?" Yoongi said but in his mind he was also thinking the same.

"It's not that hard. Jungkook literally told us yesterday, how Kim Seokjin always terrorise every visitor. Maybe he-

"Yes you are right but we can't just knock at his door and ask him about that, he will definately deny and from what you told me about the cops behaviour towards Kim Seokjin, I don't think they will listen to us, suspecting a respectable citizen" Jimin gritted his teeth.

"Then what do you suggest? Inform some higher ups?"

"No, they won't do anything against him. I tried to get in touch with commissioner but i don't think he'll help us much, he's intentionally brushing off my calls"

"What about your friend who was gonna help us?"

"He's still out of town in some meeting"

"Then i suggest we go to Jeon Jungkook and know more about this Kim Seokjin"
