"I'll climb every mountain and swim every ocean,
Just to be with you and fix what I've broken.
Oh, coz I need you to know that you are the reason..."

________****________

"We don't have any evidence," a voice interrupts your deep slumber.

You grunt lowly when a piercing head ache occurs on the back of your head. Trying to open your eyes, you look at the ceiling first. You're at home but what happened?

Supporting yourself at your elbows, you try to sit up when your gaze falls on the members around the room. A few of them are crying while other few are talking to each other, worries visible on their faces.

Then you remember. Them coming back... Jungkook... Jet crash...

Your heart sinks when you remember it. That must've been some dream right? You must be dreaming. You just woke up, Jungkook is here or will be here soon.

"Y/N, you're up? Are you ok?" Jimin's trembling hands passes you the glass of water. He looks pale and his eyes holds so much moisture like he was crying.

"Of course. I think I had a really bad dream. By the way Where's Jungkook?" you ask, drinking the water. Your heart beat at its peak and mind trying to manipulate you into thinking that all you had was a terrible nightmare.

"You didn't have a bad dream, Y/N... He actually-"

"No he didn't. Don't joke with me. Just tell me where he is." you ask them again and see their disappointed faces.

Tears fall down your eyes as you look at each and every one of them.

"He didn't die, OK? He's alive-"

"We don't know where his body is!" Taehyung shouts at you.

"That doesn't mean he's dead!" you shout back. You don't believe this. You know he's not dead. He needed to be with you.

You were thinking of getting married, having honeymoon together, having babies and build a perfect family together. He told you he'd never leave like that.

No, he can't be dead.

"He's not dead... He's not," you mumble again.

"We can't confirm anything. We don't have any evidence about it," Seokjin whispers as he rubs his forehead.

"Was he alone in his jet? What about the pilot? His body guards? Any one?" you ask them, trying to be rational. You can't just get negative here. For anything, Jungkook must be in life death situation right now. You need to think and not jump to conclusions.

" We are still tracking the other bodies. He was with his pilot and a bodyguard only in that jet. He always liked to fly alone,"he answers and you nod, feeling the panic again surging in.

" Eun Jae? Where is he?" you ask.

" With ah jumma. Should I bring them here? " Taehyung speaks.

" Yes but please don't tell them yet. They'll panic, "you tell him.

As Taehyung leaves the room to fetch Eun Jae from ah jumma's apartment, you try to think. You don't know why but your heart is telling you that he's not dead. There is something that's not right.

Then your mind clicks on one thing that could be a possibility.

"What if Jungkook's jet didn't crash, instead it was crashed?" you question.

"What do you mean?" Yoongi interrogates.

"What if it wasn't an accident? What if someone wanted to kidnap him? Because apparently, his body is missing like you said. What if someone took him with them?" your brain is racing.

"Well that can be a possibility," he agrees.

"Do you guys know where his jet crashed?"

"Not yet. The team is on it."

You sigh and rub your temples. If he was kidnapped, it must've been a better option because you still have chance to save him. However if he's gone, it's over.

A shudder runs down your spine on the mere thought of it. You know you have to wait till they fetch the information but till then you don't know how you'd survive. What if he's actually dead? No. Please don't be.

With your mind sending silent prayers for the love of your life, you wait till your son is here. You need to be with him right now or else, you'd lose your mind.

Tears still sting in your eyes but you try your best to keep your cool. Jungkook has the best team with him. They might not be there with him but they know how to help him regardless. They'll find some way and you can't become their weakness. It's a difficult time but you'll try to be strong and wait till the information is out in front of all of you.

Just as Taehyung enters the room with your son, your heart feel at a little ease. You try not to think of worst case scenario. For time being, you'll spend it with your child.

"We're in the office, OK? Call us when you feel like," Jimin ruffles Eun Jae's hair while he talks to you.

"Please let me know when the info will come," you urge and make Eun Jae sit on your lap. They nod and slowly leave the room.

"Mommy, where's dad?" Eun Jae asks, making your stomach churn at the word dad.

No, he's OK. You'll find him.

"He'll be home back soon."

*******************

It's almost been three hours since they arrive. All the members are still discussing about what must've actually happened. With many things going on in their mind, they've come to one conclusion.

Either Jungkook is dead or is going to be dead soon.

Either way it's dangerous. They can't afford losing their leader. The clan would be in such a vulnerable position from where it can be annexed by their rivals anytime.

On the other side, Eun Jae lays in your arms, now sleeping soundly oblivious of what is happening. You're looking at him and feeling that uneasy churning feeling inside your body.

Is it your fate? You fell in love first time and Young Chul left you like that. Now Jungkook too... Though it's not confirmed  yet but he's still missing.

You couldn't help but wonder that is it your destiny? Or maybe Eun Jae's? Would he ever get a father? Or would you ever get a partner?

You were able to move on from Young Chul because you were quite young and very desperate at that time but Jungkook? Will you ever be able to move on from him? The answer is short and bitter... No, you won't be.

If something ever happens to him, you won't ever be able to move on. And you would never be able to forgive God for what he did to your little family that just started feeling like it.

Sighing, you try to calm your heart down. He'd be fine... He has to be.

Just then the door of the room opens and with an almost relieved face, Seokjin barges in.

"Y/N, we know where he is and from what I think about it, I think he's alive," he tells you and your heart thumps against your chest.

"He is? Where is he?" you ask him, almost baffled.

"His jet crashed near the border of Ukraine Russia when we were coming back from Italy. We found the bodies of pilot and the bodyguard but there's something weird about it," he tells you.

"What is it?"

"There were bullet shots on their bodies. Either someone shot them both in the jet before it crashed or they were shot dead after they crashed. If they were shot afterwards, it only means one thing," he looks into your anticipating eyes, "Jungkook is kidnapped."

You inhale lungful of air and your heart is ready to leap out of your heart. Seokjin sits on the bed in front of you as he rubs his temple. Other members are in the office trying to contact Ukrainian police for help.

"Wh-Who must've done it?" you stutter, tears gathering in your eyes.

"The thing is EXO Range has one of their headquarters in Ukraine too. So most probably it's them," he answers.

Clutching your mouth, you cry again. If he's with them, it's obvious they'd kill him. That's what they always wanted. If they kidnapped him like that, the most probable thing is that they'd torture him to death. Your heart constricts at the thought as bile rises in your throat but you gulp it down.

"So they'd kill him now?" you ask him with heavy heart.

"No they won't. I can tell he's not dead.. Yet," he answers and you pinch your eyebrows at him. What does he mean?

"You see if they kill Jungkook, they won't straightway gets the Jeon Clan. If in any case he dies, according to the guidelines, the Clan would be handed over to his heir which he doesn't have. So, the clan would come in our hands, his team. We'll decide who'll lead it then," he explains.

"Then why would they kidnap him?" you're confused.

"The thing is they can still have the clan  if Jungkook agrees. That is he has to sign the official papers that'll give the leadership of the clan to Junghyuk," he stsres down at the floor, thinking hard.

"But Jungkook won't do it," you whisper. You know that he'd do anything but to willingly hand over his precious leadership to someone who's as cruel as Junghyuk.

"Yes, he won't. That's why they'll torture him. So most probably he's being tortured right now," he completes and looks at you making you gulp and look around the room.

Your face is pale and you feel like having a panic attack anytime.

"We've contacted the Ukrainian police. They're on the search and the members will be leaving for the country in the evening," he informs.

"What? I'll go with you too," you say, sternly.

"Are you serious, Y/N? You won't go with us. We'll find a way to handle it. We will do search operations-"

"But that can take weeks! Months! Till then maybe he won't be alive."

"What will you do there? You don't know what they're capable of doing. If they know you're there, they'd use you as a leverage to convince him. You're his weakness, Y/N. You need to stay here, in the tight security," he tries to make you understand.

"No. I won't sit here and wait for him to come back which is very unlikely by what I understand-"

"For God's sake, try to understand, Y/N!" he shouts, making Eun Jae squirm in his sleep which makes him take a deep breathe, "Eun Jae needs you. I can't afford losing you both in all this. The result is very risky."

"The situation right now is enough riskier. If something happens to him, I won't be able to forgive myself. We can do something. I'll think. Just let me come with you, please," you urge him, tears flowing out on your cheeks.

"Y/N, you're safer here. Don't do this please, he'll kill me if he knows I agreed to take you," he looks at you all defeated.

"But he needs to be alive for that," you sob out.

He curses out and without saying any word just leave the room. Your lips wobble to break out crying again but you stop it. Now is not the time to cry. You know you need to go there. You can't just sit here knowing your lover is in almost dead position.

Seokjin is right too. He doesn't have any good reason to take you with them. So, for you to go there, you need to have a good reason. And for that, you need to think. There has to be something you can do.

After thinking for a few minutes, there's something that comes in your mind and you think even harder.

Then your mind clicks. An idea. An idea that can actually save Jungkook. Fuck yes, you can do that. There is a way you can bring Jungkook back alive. A little flame of hope ignites in you as you quickly but carefully slip out of the bed and run towards the study.

The members are there, still discussing about it when you arrive there. All of them looks at you and you give them a tired yet hopeful smile.

"I have an idea," you say and Seokjin sighs. Before he could start you interrupt him.

"Please listen to me first," you urge them and he finally gives you a green light.

You rant what's in your head to them and they carefully listened to you, understanding it all. You lay the whole map plan you have in your mind and they nod. By the time, you finish all of them has different reactions on their faces.

"To be honest, I feel like this will work," Namjoon agrees with you.

"Well, me too," Jimin agrees.

"Don't be ridiculous. This can also go terribly wrong!" Yoongi disagrees along with Taehyung.

"But I guess this is the strongest plan. We can bring Jungkook alive," Hoseok jumps in.

"It's a good plan but it's too risky, Y/N. I can't put you in danger," Seokjin tell you.

"We're already in danger. It's now or never situation. This can work. Please let me come with you," you urge them.

"Y/N..."

"Please..."

"OK fine. Pack your things. We don't have time to waste," Seokjin gives in.

"But-" Yoongi butts in.

"No. Just like she said it's now or never," Seokjin explains.

"But this will change the whole plan now," Taehyung speaks.

"Well yes. Now what we'll do is that me and Y/N would go straight to Ukraine right now while all of you guys would leave in the morning. All of you would land in Russia and cross the border illegally from there so that they won't know about your arrival. Tighten the security around the territory, especially around the mansion and the apartment given to old couple," Seokjin orders and everyone gets on work.

"And about Eun Jae? Should we drop him at the apartment?" he asks you.

Your insides twists at the thought of your son. The plan is risky, a lot, and till now you were not having any double thoughts but what if you actually don't make it. Is today the last day you have with your son?

Taking in a sharp breathe, you say, "I'll drop him off at the apartment."

Seokjin nods and with heavy steps, you walk to the room. Looking at the peacefully sleeping body of your son, you couldn't help but break down. Tears fall down your eyes as you go up to him.

His soft face is puffy and his lips are pouted. You smile through your tears at his cute face. Leaning in, you kiss his forehead. Never in your life you thought you'd have such uncertainty in your life. Eun Jae is your life and just as much staying with him is important for you, going out there to save your lover is just as vital.

"I promise you, my baby, I'll come back with your dad," you whisper by his temple.

Straightening up, you walk into the closet to pack in the little stuff. You won't be needing it though but still you packed some vital things.

When you enter the room again with your bag, you see Taehyung there standing by Eun Jae. Silently, you walk towards him and upon seeing you, he holds your bag for you.

"You go take him to the apartment," he suggests and you nod at him, holding your baby in your arms.

"Y/N, we'd do this, right?" he asks you, his voice full of uncertainties.

"Yes, we'll do this."

********************

It's the evening. You and Seokjin are in the jet to Ukraine. The members are in the mansion, readying the team they'll need before they'll board the plane to Russia in few hours.

Just like Seokjin instructed, everything is getting done.

The atmosphere is silent. You're watching the sun setting by the window of the jet. The silence is full of nervousness.

So many what ifs are hanging in between but admist all this, you have hope. If not you, you'll make sure that Jungkook comes out alive after this ends.

Your plan is set. The implementation will start from tomorrow. The risk involved is so big but not bigger than letting this opportunity go.

As you sit in silence, your mind races about all the dimensions that this plan could go wrong. But in all this turmoil of emotions, all you can think about is him. The man you're doing this all for.

He has saved you multiple times from people who were too much dangerous for you. Though he is in far more heart wrecking situation right now, you'll still try to make out safe and sound out of this.

Sighing you look down at your hands.

Just hang in there, Jungkook, we'll be there to get you.
