A/n: I added the last few paragraphs from the previous chapter again because the first scene here is a continuation of that one. Happy reading!

Jungkook took the last step closer to the idol and looked down directly into Taehyung's eyes before dragging his finger across his plush pink lips while sensually biting down on his own pierced one. Taehyung gulped thickly.

"I'm glad you're finally where I wanted you to be Taehyung," he whispered darkly, leaning in to gently brush their lips together, their breaths mixing as he sighed in contentment.

"Welcome to our safe haven. I love you and nothing can draw us apart anymore."

The ravenette titled his head and edged closer to press his lips fully against Taehyung's when he felt a fist on his chest pushing him back.

"Uh-uh, not so fast Mister," Taehyung huffed tauntingly and raised his index finger between their faces, eyes twinkling with mirth at Jungkook's rather confused expression.

"You already had your chance and you lost it that day, so now..." Taehyung curled the finger under Jungkook's collar and pulled him close again but with a harsh tug, breath hitting Jungkook in the face as he sneered, "you have to earn it back."

With that said, Taehyung pushed him away and turned on his heels with a swish, his hair flipping as he did and swaying his hips as he walked further away from the raven.

He knew he had the desired effect on Jungkook, when he heard a whispered curse "fuck! Get yourself together kook!" behind him, making Taehyung's lips curve up in a cheeky smile.

What's the harm in having a little bit of fun while he was stuck here anyway, right?

A loud noise from the doorbell of his apartment awoke Jimin from his slumber. The short boy found himself lying on the floor and looked around in confusion before realising he had fallen asleep inside his studio room.

When did that even happen? He doesn't remember. The last he remembered was going there to practice some moves for his latest song and most importantly release some of his stress. Dancing was the only way he could actually let loose.

The bell rang again and this time Jimin got to his feet and reached for the door, scanning his door's camera screen and sighing in relief when it was only Namjoon.

"Hey, what were you up to? I thought you ran away somewhere." The taller man joked as he removed his shoes and stepped inside Jimin's apartment. The said boy half laughed but he knew he heard concern lacing the elder's tone, as usual.

"Don't worry, i just dozed off after practice, I'm not running away anywhere," Jimin huffed, making his way to the living room with Namjoon following suit,"It's not like they'll let me leave anyway."

Namjoon knew he was talking about the media and Taehyung's fans, who were still all up against Jimin for being the one responsible, or rather irresponsible for letting Taehyung go out of sight.

The director sighs as he settles down on Jimin's couch, eyeing the boy up and down. Jimin's form looked small. Even smaller than before. Namjoon had been visiting him almost every other day since Taehyung got kidnapped and the blonde looked like he didn't eat much nowadays and the bags under his eyes said he didn't sleep much either.

Namjoon felt his heart ache for the boy, as if he was the one going through whatever Jimin was going through at the moment.

"Joon, is there something you want to tell me?" Jimin said peering at the older suspiciously. "Is it about Taehyung?"

The director thought for a moment before nodding his head in positive causing the shorter to gasp.

"They found him?"

"Uh, no not yet. But-"

"But?"

"Jimin." Namjoon sighed again, patting the couch as an invitation for him to sit down,"They haven't found much but the inspector in charge of the case managed to track all the ships that left the Busan port that night and all the stoppages they made. They might've found some interesting information."

Jimin scampered over to where Namjoon was sitting and almost ended up on his lap with the force he sat on it, making the taller blush furiously.

"And? Spill! What are you waiting for?" The blonde screeched, voice filled with hope.

"The officers said the ships that left the port that night were all domestic ships, that is, almost all of them were headed to some other port in South Korea itself. Except for one - the blue gull."

"Uh... Is that it?" Jimin frowned, having expected something more than that."What does that have anything to do with Taehyung's kidnapping hyung?"

"Ofcourse it does Minnie, you don't understand. If Taehyung was taken to some Korean port then it wouldn't have been so difficult to find him. In fact someone must have seen or heard something suspicious, what with how popular Taehyung is in Korea and the absolute red alert for his look out, and immediately reported it to us. And this week different officers were sent to investigate each port and adjoining hinterlands but found nothing." The director said, whipping out his phone to show the map of Korea as he further explained,"See, here Incheon, Donghae, Masan, Gunsan, all the major ports were thoroughly investigated but we found no suspicious activity at all."

"So does that mean..."

Namjoon nodded confirming Jimin's fears.

"He's been taken overseas!"Jimin gasped, heart sinking at the thought of Taehyung getting lost in some other part of the world.

"Yes, that's right." Namjoon confirmed, tapping his phone to zoom in on the map of port of Busan,"The only ship that left for overseas was Blue gull and look here, these are the places that the ship had made a stoppage to before it took a full round and came back to Busan three weeks after Taehyung went missing."

"Three weeks? That's how long Taehyung has been mssing!" Jimin looked into the map and tried to figure ot all the places they could have taken Taehyung to but his geography being weak he couldn't really catch anything.

"Yeah so our search has considerably narrowed down to these countries- China, Philippines Malaysia and India. Also, the officers said they'll be sending a team to inspect the inside of the ship today, the one these kidnappers might've taken and try to find something- DNA or anything at all to confirm if it's the same one. So we can say there's been progress." Namjoon closed his phone and leaned back against the couch watching as Jimin nodded to himself and lifted off the couch to go somewhere.

"Where are you going?" The manager asked after the idol walked out of his room with a jacket on his back.

"To the police station? I'm sure they'll need my help with finding clues in that ship," Jimin stated as if it was obvious and looked at Namjoon as if asking 'you're not coming along?'

"Minnie, I think ... It's better to let the police do their job." Namjoon bit his lip as he stood up and faced a confused Jimin.

"Yes alright, but i can help hyung! Remember how I was the one who identified Taehyung's mask last time-" Jimin cut himself off when the taller man stepped forward and pulled him into his embrace.

"You're not going to the police station Minnie." Namjoon said, rather stated firmly with his lips pressed against the side of Jimin's head."You're coming with me."

"What-? But where-"

"To Miss Song." Namjoon completed his sentence, withdrawing from the shorter boy to look him in the eyes."She's a renowned therapist based here in Seoul. I want you to meet her once."

Jimin eyed the taller as if he was the one who had lost his mind.

"What are you talking about Namjoon hyung? I-i don't need a shrink!?" He said shrugging the other's hands off his shoulder and stepping back to create some space between them."you think I'm going crazy?"

"Huh-what? Absolutely not, Jimin i didn't mean to say that-"

"Then what did you mean, hyung? I mean can't you see that Taehyung is missing for about a month now and instead of looking for him you want me to get my head checked? What a waste of time!" The younger huffed in annoyance.

"No it's not! it-its not a waste of time Jimin," Namjoon replied exasperated,"i realise Taehyung has been gone for long and we have an entire team looking for him but what i also care about is you Jimin! Have you looked at yourself?"

The director held his hand and dragged him towards a full length mirror in the hallway, making him face his own reflection.

"This ... This isn't you Jimin. This isn't the Jimin i know."

The idol looked at himself in the mirror and it was like he was looking at himself after a long time. He realised what the other was talking about - his sunken eyes, dried up cheeks, messy hair, frail form. How come he hadn't even realised it?

Jimin slowly turned to look at Namjoon who was already looking down at him with worry. For the first time in his life, Jimin felt truly seen by this man- the man he had a crush on since forever. The emotions reflected in the man's eyes spoke volumes about his concern for Jimin.

The kind of care that the shorter idol craved from him.

So without thinking much, Jimin stepped forward and crushed the other man in another- more intimate- embrace. His head fit perfectly under Namjoon's chin, making him feel like he was Koala hugging his favourite tree. The thought made him giggle slightly, which earned a confused hum from the top.

"Let's go meet the shrink you got me Hyung, maybe i really need to get my head checked once."

"Alright now sit. Sit. Sit down! Oh good, good puppy, very good, here's your treat." Taehyung praised, handing out a biscuit to his new pet dog. A cavapoo that, in Jungkook's own words, was a complimentary gift along with the beach house, to make up for the time Taehyung had to spend in a dungeon like chamber under Jungkook's care.

Now the said male was stood leaning by the door frame with his arms crossed and a petulant pout gracing his lips at the lack of attention from his idol. His disappointment spoke enough of his internal regret of getting a dog for Taehyung, now wanting nothing more than to just yeet the cute thing out into the sea.

"Mr.V?"

"Tch, come here lil boy~ show me what else you can do! Give me your paw? Huh? Give me a handshake ah-ah-ah!"

Jungkook sighed for what seemed like the umpteenth time in the past half an hour that he has been trying to get Taehyung's attention on him. Yet nothing has seemed to work.

It seemed like Taehyung was going to be very persistent on his words that he spoke earlier. That Jungkook already had his chance to woo him and he lost it. If he had to be honest, he does regret not taking up Taehyung's offer that night and just giving into his demand.

But then he had to remind himself that sleeping with Taehyung wasn't his top priority then. Rather, it was to prove himself worthy of existing alongside Taehyung. No one knew how it took a lot for him to slowly allow himself to lose his gloves and actually touch the god like boy with his naked skin.

It was more electrifying than he imagined and just couldn't not come back asking for more. Taehyung was like a drug to him. The flame to his moth and the siren to his sailor. No matter how much he tried to keep away he couldn't. It was impossibly addictive. And now that he was so close to giving Taehyung their dream life together, Jungkook couldn't help but feel a little greedy and impatient.

"Oh~ what a cute little puppy, come here, come to my lap, yes~" The idol coaxed the small animal to jump onto his lap and smiled triumphantly at the easy success.

Eyes trained on the idol, Jungkook slowly lifted himself off the frame and walked into the drawing room, measuring his steps as he drew closer to the other boy. He tilted his head and took in some more of the cute interaction between his idol and the puppy.

"Are you done avoiding me, Mr. V? Or is there a designated period set for the silent treatment?" Jungkook asked him, voice coming out amused yet somehow prideful.

Taehyung remained silent for a few moments, contemplating whether he should just continue ignoring the other and derive fun out of his sorry state or if he should just give in and spare him some words instead. Taehyung mercifully decided upon the latter.

"The second one." The blue haired said briefly, running his fingers through the dog's soft fur. Jungkook pursed his lips and dropped his shoulders.

"How long?"

"Don't know."

"Mr. V!"

Was it a whine? Because it sure sounded like one. Maybe Jungkook would even admit it at this point. He was getting desperate enough to whine for Taehyung's attention and the latter was simply enjoying it.

"I hate it."

"You-what?" Jungkook asked, confused at Taehyung's snappy remark.

"The nick-name! I hate it. Don't call me mister and all that, makes me feel old." The idol huffed, nose turned up but eyes still trained down on the dog on his lap which was close to dozing off there itself.

"Oh... Okay." The raven nodded, scratching behind his ear."so what would you have me call you then?"

"I have a name you know. My parents gave it to me." The reply was supposed to be sarcastic but it only made the other bark out a laugh.

"But what if i wanted to give you a special one?" Jungkook questioned, finally satisfied with the responses he was getting.

"No thanks."

"Please?"

"I said no."

"How about master then?"

"Jungkook, stop."

"No? Okay then Baby? Tiger? Honey?... Nothing?"

"God, you're so annoying."

Jungkook all but laughed aloud, holding his tummy while Taehyung turned his face away in pure distaste.

"Have you got a collar? For the pup? He needs one. And a name too." The blue haired boy asked, gently laying the sleeping dog onto the soft rug he was seated upon.

"He already has a name," Jungkook told him, kneeling down on the floor in front of the other,"Mr. Fur-fur."

"What? That's what you came up with? Mr. Fur-fur?" Taehyung asked, looking aghast.

"Yeah because- like- he's got a lot of fur on his back, look at all of that!" Jungkook defended himself, pointing at the cavapoo sleeping on the floor."What else was i supposed to name it?"

"God, you're literally the worst at naming people." Taehyung groaned, eyes nearly rolling off his head."mister this, mister that-ugh whatever, get him a collar and a leash by tomorrow. He will need to be taken out for walks too so it's a necessity."

"Are you really that sold on get him a collar and a leash?" The raven asked slyly creeping a tad bit closer to the seated male,"i mean, if you're that curious you could always try it on me, no?"

Taehyung looked up at his words, mind doing a double take at the implication. Was Jungkook being suggestive right now?

His doubts were confirmed when he saw the hints of a smirk forming on his kidnapper's insanely attractive pierced lips.

"What... You want me to put a collar on you too?" Taehyung stammered, feeling heat creep up the side of his neck when Jungkook spread his knees and leaned forward closer to the idol before balancing his weight on his hands instead.

"

You know I wouldn't mind it, Taehyung," Jungkook whispered lowly, eyes hidden behind the dark fringes flashing with a challenging glint that had Taehyung tremble internally, "in fact, you can do anything you want with me now and I'd be the last person to mind it."

Taehyung's breathing quickened when a tatted finger came up and traced the side of the face with a gentle caress.

"Can I get an audience with you now darling? I had a proposition to make for dinner tonight." The sly kidnapper grinned victoriously when the idol nodded with a gulp, as if he was sucked into a trance and forgot what he had eventually planned to say or do.

"Good. So, dinner tonight at 8. Meet me on the porch and I'll take you out. I'll leave your dress and accessories on your bed while you freshen up." Saying that, Jungkook took to his feet and retreated to the door, front still facing the frozen idol as he sauntered back slowly, hooded eyes hungrily taking in everything Taehyung.

"Don't keep me waiting baby."
