M.E.L.B.O.U.R.N.E, 13:26.

It had been two weeks since Jungkook and the team had been assigned to Melbourne.

They had already set their mini hiding spot and were hunting down all the stops and stations, Park Jimin could have stopped by.

All of them stood around Tae's computer screen. He was consistently typing out the code over the computer to hack into the nearby cameras around the neighbourhood.

With the help of Hoseok's excellent skills, they narrowed down their hunting spots. He found another glimpse of the man in a coffee shop where they currently set their hiding spot.

They have been constantly keeping an eye over the entire neighbourhood to catch the man.

Especially, Hoseok who is dying to know the last part of the story which was buried in Jimin's hands.

The reason behind his death.

To be specific his fake death.

"Fuck!" Tae gasped.

All the three looked between the screen and Tae to know the cause of his exaggerated gasp.

"What is it? Did we not find him?" Jungkook asked with stress building in his system.

"I...found him, but a very different him."

"What do you mean?" Yoongi asked with furrowed brows.

"Look for yourself," Tae said and slid aside for them to look at the screen.

Tae caught a picture of Jimin over a racer bike. The male was draped in pitch black clothes from his hair down to his boots. His hands were covered with various shades of silver bracelets and tattoos carved all over his body.

Jungkook's heart clenched to know that the soft little man he once loved was nowhere to be found.

It wasn't his Jimin.

He couldn't be.

"Let's call for backup. Pull out your guns we are attacking him this instant." Yoongi ordered as he loaded his gun.

"Hyung, can I take care of this mission?" Jungkook asked blankly staring at the screen that had paused footage of Jimin taking a bag from another man who rode a bike alongside him.

"I can't let that. You could go soft over him. We can't afford to lose this mission-"

"Let Taehyung come with me. If I couldn't handle it on my own, let Taehyung take the lead. I will not question his decisions."Jungkook spoke up with a serious tone.

"Fine but what's the plan?"

Jimin unlocked the door to the room and dragged a heavy metal chair over the floor that screeched its way to the centre of the room.

"J...Jimin, please let me go," Jin mumbled with his eyes dropping close unable to hold up without food for five days.

Jimin perked an eyebrow and leaned forwards with his hand interlaced between his knees and elbows resting over his thighs, "How about we start talking about business?"

"What?"

"Why were you in Melbourne out of all the places?" Jimin asked as he pushed the glass of water an inch over the table.

"What do you mean?" Jin answered with a hazy mind.  His vision was blurred and he had to strain his eyes to look over the glass that was slid toward him.

"Boo! Wrong answer," Jimin smirked and pulled back the glass over the table.

"With every right answer the glass moves closer to you, but with every incorrect one, it slides back to the original place. I am sure you are thirsty as fuck so let's start the game?" Jimin asked and smiled psychotically as he watched his eyes dwell in fear.

"Let's start again, why did you come to Melbourne out of all the places after you stepped down from your position?" Jimin asked.

Jin wanted to bash Jimin's head against the wall to bring him back to his senses. But what could be done in a tied-up situation like this?

He had to submit.

Jimin was his most trusted person. And trusting him with credential information in a situation like this was an utter mistake.

A huge crime.

But, he played a list of pros and cons over his five-night starving about Jimin's behaviour and actions and decided to go with the flow.

Was it stupidity?

Yes, it was.

But a part of him trusted the man too much to hate him.

To loathe him.

"I came in search of a man," Jin confessed.

"Did you find him?" Jimin asked and slid the glass a little closer to the male.

"Not yet. But I am sure to find him at all cost!" Jin answered with all honesty.

Jimin gulped and pushed the glass closer, "You won't find him."

"Why not?"

"Because you will be dead by tomorrow,"

"Which motherfucker has the guts to kill the Ex Superintendent of Base Station of Korea?"

"Me!" Jimin stood up with full force such that the chair slid back. He swiftly swung his hand against Jin's neck and created a perfect cut.

Jin's eyes blew wide with his neck turning a shade of red around the cut and oozing blood out of it.

"Too bad you couldn't take the last sip of your drink before dying," Jimin uttered and looked at the body that was slowly turning pale with an unexplained emotion and walked out of the room.

The door closed silently with a man's head hung low against the chair.

_______

"I will parcel the item at your door by tomorrow afternoon. Please don't worry and take care of yourself," Hoseok spoke into the call and bowed a few times to show his respect and cut the call.

"Who were you talking to?" Tae asked with a raised tone from behind.

Hoseok jumped out of his skin and slowly turned around, "My boss."

"Who?"

"Your mother-in-law!" Hoseok deadpanned as he grew closer to the man.

"W.. what?" Tae stuttered as he found Hoseok dangerously close to him with his arm resting against the wall behind Tae's back and a smirk plastered to his face.

"Are you intimidated by me? Am I that breathtaking?"

Tae blushed at the question and Hoseok pressed his lips together to hold his laughter but eventually burst into fits of giggles.

Tae couldn't comprehend what just happened, instead chuckled and left the place, scratching the back of his neck to reduce the awkwardness.

Hoseok on the other hand instantly dropped his smile as Tae left the hall and sunk his phone in his pocket and walked towards the main room.

A/n:- Hello!! Sorry for the late update.

Okay, so did Jin die so easily??

And has Jimin really betrayed the base station out of anger against them and joined hands with criminals?

Also, WHO WAS HOSEOK SPEAKING TO? AND WHAT WAS THE ITEM HE TALKED ABOUT?"

I should seriously stop creating so many questions. Lmao!

Anyways, hope you liked the chapter

Love you guys
