Location: Bangtan Café, Busan, South Korea
Time: 3:12 pm

"Are you ready?" Jin asked as he went out of his car.

He looked at Taehyung who's standing outside the abandoned café with a small bag draped on his shoulder.

Taehyung doesn't have much to bring, since all his clothes were on his house. He just brought few of Jungkook's clothes to have something to cuddle with whenever he missed him.

"Are you sure you have all your things inside that bag of yours?" Jin questioned, quite unsure of what's inside his bag.

"Yeah. I have everything I need. My friend delivered the passport he made for me." Taehyung proudly informed, finally getting inside the car.

Jin made his way to the driver's seat with an amused smile. "I was actually confused when I asked Jimin to contact your friend for your passport details and he said the name Jeon Taehyung."

Taehyung giggled, finding Yoongi's wit admirable. "That would be my name, starting today."

"Why Jeon, though?" Jin asked out of curiosity.

The doctor just smiled. "Secret, hyung." He winked at the older who just shakes his head.

Taehyung swore to himself that he would never tell Jungkook and Yoongi's identity to anyone.

That's why he requested to meet up in Busan because he doesn't want to reveal any of their hideouts.

He didn't give his number to them as well, and just instructed Jimin to contact Yoongi through email if there were things they need to tell him.

Taehyung swore that he'll keep their identities safe even in his grave.

"By the way, where's Chim?" He questioned as Jin started checking the rear view mirror.

"He said he'll meet us in the airport if he still has time. He attended the trial earlier, wanting to make sure your perpetrator doesn't get the chance to plead not guilty." Jin informed, making Taehyung nod.

The doctor's attention was caught by the beautiful flower tattoo on Jin's right arm when he reached out to adjust the mirror.

"Wow. You have a tattoo, hyung?" Taehyung curiously stared at the older's arm.

"Yeah. I got this last year." Jin said, smiling.

"What flower is that?" Taehyung asked, tracing the tattoo with his fingers.

"Narcissus flower." Jin answered.

"Oh. December birth flower. I want one too." Taehyung beamed.

Jin shakes his head with a smile. "I doubt auntie and uncle will allow you."

Taehyung suddenly stopped smiling, remembering the reason why he's leaving in the first place.

"Do you think they'll be okay?" He asked in a soft voice.

Jin sighed, patting his head. "They will be. Don't worry."

The car finally went away with Taehyung still deep in thoughts.

Not far away, watching every move is the ravenette who felt a huge boulder in his heart as soon as the car left.

He looked at his phone's tracker, seeing the red dot slowly move away from where he stood.

He sighed, going back to his own car and probably head back to his hideout which he won't be calling his home until Taehyung comes back.

Jimin went inside the columbarium after finishing the trial. He felt elated, knowing that Judy So won't be able to get away with what she had almost done to Taehyung.

He looked at the time, noticing that he still has enough time to get to the airport before Taehyung's flight.

Jimin stopped in front of what's supposed to be Taehyung's urn. He opened the glass door, wanting to remove the ash inside the urn.

He couldn't believe he's been crying over someone else's ashes. It creeps him out, wanting to remove the ash as soon as he can.

He carefully lifted the urn when an object fell on the ground.

Jimin furrowed his brows, slowly placing back the urn inside the glass door.

"What's this?" He picked up the object which seemed to be a small flash drive.

"Who placed this here?" He shakes his head, pocketing the object.

He went back to removing the urn, thinking of a perfect place to scatter the ashes.

By 4 pm, Jimin was able to go back to his home and change before going to the airport.

He was removing his shirt when he remembered the flash drive he had picked earlier.

Satisfying his curiosity, Jimin turned to his computer and tried looking for the contents of the flash drive.

He waited for a while before it popped up, showing a series of codes that he doesn't understand.

"What the hell is this?" He tried opening it up, but nothing was showing in the screen.

"Weird." Jimin removed the flash drive and placed it on the table.

He went back to changing when he suddenly remembered the monster hacker.

The two of them were constantly emailing each other though he hasn't seen him yet.

He doesn't know why but he found himself taking a picture of the flash drive, sending it to the email.

Found this hidden behind Taehyung's urn. I wonder what this is.

Jimin placed his phone on the table, going back to choosing a new pair of shoes when he heard a buzz.

He hurriedly went to get his phone, excited to see the reply.

Is that a flash drive? Have you tried looking for the contents?

Jimin quickly typed in a message.

Yes, but all I saw were codes and numbers.

He was about to put his phone back on the table when a new message came.

"That was fast." He commented, fumbling through the email.

Take a picture. Let me see.

Jimin pouted, not really liking being ordered around. He inserted the flash drive back inside his computer, the same codes popping on his screen.

He took a picture and sent it on the email. He removed the flash drive when another reply came.

Bring the flash drive to me. I'll send you the location. NOW!

Jimin huffed, finding the man truly unbelievable.

"We haven't met each other, yet you're really getting on my nerves." Jimin talked to himself.

Another email came with the address the hacker had sent.

"I shouldn't have shown him whatever this is." Jimin mumbled to himself, taking the flash drive and placing it inside his bag

He looked at the clock, computing the time whether he could still arrive at the airport on time.

He sighed, texting Taehyung just in case before heading to his car.

I don't know if I could make it on time. Have a safe trip, my Taetae. I'll see you once you return.

He sent the message, driving off to the location on his email.

"You're the monster hacker?" Jimin raked his eyes on the pale looking man in front of him who seemed to be lacking a lot of blood in his body.

He was met by a scowl which immediately intimidated him.

"I don't do introductions. Hand me the drive." Yoongi lend his hand, wanting to get the object as soon as possible.

Jimin rolled his eyes, fishing out the drive from his bag, handing it to the latter who immediately went inside the house.

The door was slowly closing but Jimin was quick to push his legs inside, preventing it from closing behind.

He went inside, seeing Mr. Attitude in front of his laptop, busy typing a lot of things he couldn't understand.

"What are you doing there?" He asked, standing at the back, leaning forward to see the screen.

"Why the fuck are you inside my house?" Yoongi glared at him, his hands continuously typing numbers and figures.

"I'm the one who found and brought that here so technically, that's mine." Jimin sassily uttered, making Yoongi roll his eyes.

It was in this moment when the door opened, revealing a ravenette with a serious look on his face.

"Is that it?" Jungkook asked, disregarding the blonde who was standing behind Yoongi.

"I think it is. It's encrypted and I'm finding a hard time breaking this shit open." Yoongi tried changing some codes.

"That's why we couldn't find it in his hideout." Jungkook huffed, disbelieving that the fucker Jinyoung outsmarted them.

"Yeah. No one would look for it inside Taehyung's urn. That sly fucker." Yoongi shakes his head, pressing enter.

The codes were removed, revealing the contents of the drive.

Yoongi clicked on the pictures, scrutinizing it one by one.

They saw a car with a silhouette of a person with long hair.

"How could this be an evidence?" Yoongi clicked some more, showing pictures of Jinyoung's transactions.

He was hurriedly clicking on the pictures when Jimin suddenly halted him.

"Wait! Wait.. Please go back." Jimin uttered, instructing Yoongi to click back.

Yoongi groaned, following the latter.

"Stop.." Jimin stared at the pictures, eyes turning wide.

"What is it? It's just an arm." Yoongi mumbled.

"No.. zoom it in." Jimin said, eyes fixated on the picture.

It was a picture of the client's hand extending to the arm, in what seemed to be an act of handing the payment to Jinyoung from his opened car window.

"I-I know that.... tattoo." His eyes widened, finding the tattoo to be very familiar.

Jungkook turned to look at him.

"What do you mean?"

Jimin gulped, his hands turning cold. "That's the same with Jin-hyung's tattoo."

Jungkook and Yoongi turned to look at him with serious faces.

"How could you be so sure?" Jungkook asked, his gaze turning murderous.

"I-I saw it one time when he was hanging his clothes." He said, eyes turning wary.

"What does that mean?" He asked, seeing the ravenette hurriedly look at his phone.

"Where's Taehyung?" Yoongi asked.

Jungkook glared at the phone, seeing Taehyung's tracker far from the airport.

"Shit!" He hurriedly went out, his heart beating off his chest. He rushed inside the car, disregarding Yoongi's voice calling him out.

"Jungkook! Fuck!" Yoongi went back to connect his computer to Jungkook's phone, seeing Taehyung's location.

"What's going on?" Jimin questioned, his heart started racing from the anger he sees on the ravenette's face earlier.

"We've been fooled." Yoongi turned to look at the blonde.

"Taehyung's life is in danger." He said, making Jimin back away.

"W-what do you mean.. He's with Jin-hyung." Jimin uttered in a small voice.

"That's the point. The pictures you saw earlier were the evidence we've been trying to find to know the one who requested for Taehyung's death." Yoongi glared at him.

"What? No.. Judy So was the one-" He stopped, quickly rummaging his bag for his phone.

He opened it and saw Taehyung's reply to his message earlier.

Okay. I'll see you when I get back. I'm at the airport now. I'll be turning off my phone to save battery. Love you.

Jimin immediately tried dialing the number but it's already out of reach.

"Fuck! Tae.." He looked at the hacker who was now talking to someone on his mic.

"They haven't moved from that location. Be careful JK." Yoongi instructed.

"Are you implying Jin was the real culprit? B-but why?" Jimin asked, still not understanding any of this.

Yoongi sighed. "See this?" He pointed at the blinking red light.

"That's where Taehyung is right now." Yoongi informed.

Jimin gasped. "Why is he- Oh God!" He felt his knees turn to jelly, mind couldn't take this information, seeing Taehyung's location far from the airport where he said he should be.

Yoongi didn't pay him attention as he went back to guiding Jungkook.

Jimin felt suffocated. He tried going out, catching his breath. He's having panic attack, afraid for what's happening to Taehyung.

Once outside, he tried calming his breathing.

His Taehyung..

Jimin nervously fumbled through his phone, dialing officer Namjoon's number that he had gotten from Jin.

Few rings and he picked up.

"Hello -"

"Sir! This is Park Jimin. Please! Help Taehyung!" He was in the brink of losing his mind.

"Mr. Park Jimin? What are you talking about?" Namjoon asked, voice full of concern.

"Judy So isn't the one behind all these! It's Jin! Oh God! It's Jin!" Jimin hysterically said.

"Calm down Mr. Park. I'm not understanding what you're trying to say."

"Please! I don't have much time to explain. Please help Taehyung!" He begged when the line suddenly went off.

"Fuck!" Jimin tried calling once more, but it redirected to voice mail.

"Shit!" He hurriedly typed a message, telling the location he had seen from the hacker's screen earlier.

His hands were shaking when he pressed send.

Jimin wouldn't be able to forgive himself if something bad happened to Taehyung.

He should've been there with him to the airport.

Now, no one knows what might have already happened to Taehyung under the hands of someone he thought to be a friend...an ally.
