(Later that day)

Kook reached in front of Yoongi's house. He rang the doorbell so many times but didn't get any answer. Then he knocked but still there was to answer. So he tried to call Yoongi on his phone but Yoongi was talking to someone. Kook became angry. Then tried again to call him again. And this time Yoongi answered.

"What the hell, Yoongi! I've been standing here in front of your door for so long and didn't even answer. Get here and open the door!" Kook yelled.

"I'm really sorry, Kook. Mom is not home and I couldn't hear the bell or the knock. And I was talking to Jin on the call. Wait, I'm coming!" Yoongi answered.

"Come fast!"

Yoongi ran down the stairs and opened the door revealing a furious Kook.

"Come in, Kook!" Yoongi was calm like nothing happened and Kook stomped in the house. They entered Yoongi's studio.

"Where is Jin? When is he coming?" Kook asked.

"You don't know? I first thought he was with you. Then I remembered that he wanted to come alone. So I called him to know when he was coming. But he didn't tell me the exact time. He just told me not to wait for him and start practicing. He'll join us later."

"Okay. but he didn't even answer my call." Kook pouted.

"When did you call him?"

"Before leaving my house."

"Don't worry. He'll join soon. Let's start practicing," Yoongi said. They started practicing.

They didn't notice the time. It was already one and a half hours but Jin didn't come yet.

"Where is he? Is he coming or not?" Yoongi was worried.

"Let me call him." Kook took his phone and dialed Jin's number. The number was out of reach.

"Let me try, Kook." Yoongi tried to call Jin too. But still the number was out of reach.

"Is he all right? He didn't seem in his usual self earlier." Kook became more worried. "Let me call Hobi. He must know where Jin is." He suggested and was about to call Hobi when Yoongi's phone rang. It was Hobi.

"Hello, Hobi!" Yoongi answered the call.

"Hey, Yoongi, give the phone to Jin. I have been trying to call him but his number is not reachable." Hobi said with a worried voice.

"But Jin is not here." Yoongi was about to say something but Hobi cut him off.

"What do you mean? Jin left our house long ago. I thought he was with you.Stop kidding, Yoongi? Is he really not with you? Where is Kook?" Hobi was literally shouting.

"Kook is with me for nearly two hours. Jin has not come yet. We could not reach his number. So I was about to call you when you called. We're so worried. Where could he be?" Yoongi said, looking at Kook who was looking at him with teary eyes.

"Where are you, Hobi?" Kook took the phone from Yoongi and asked.

"I'm with others. Wait, we're coming to Yoongi's house. Jin is not at home either. Mom called me earlier asking if I was with Jin or not. Because he called mom and told her that he'll be late. He needs to practice more today. Oh my god! I'm so worried. We have to find him." Hobi said and cut the call.

Kook was so worried. He was getting a bad feeling about the whole situation. "Is he really okay? Please be safe, Jinie. Please don't do anything stupid. Please." He was feeling so much pain in his heart. After knowing Jin's secret, he was always worried about him. He always thought that Jin could harm himself out of overflood emotion. And now when Jin was missing, he was getting that bad feeling. He wanted to cry. But he could not tell Yoongi anything. But he could not stop his tears. He crashed on the chair and hid his face with his palms. Yoongi was feeling restless too. He was constantly trying to call Jin.

After some time, other boys rushed there. Yoongi opened the door and faced everyone's worried faces.

"Hobi, did you inform Jin's dad?" Yoongi asked.

"No, I couldn't. He is not at home now. And He will get a heart attack if he finds out that Jin is missing. We have to find him fast." Hobi was breathing heavily.

"Guys, first let's go inside and think where could he go. We can't run around the city to find him. It's not the solution. If we can't find him soon, we have to call his father and the police too." Joon told them, interlocking his both hands and lowering his head.

"Jin, where are you?!" After hearing Joon's statement, Hobi finally broke down. He hugged Tae and cried.

"Hey, Hobi, stop! We'll find him soon. Maybe his phone's battery is dead. He could be stuck in his business. Remember, he told us that he'll go somewhere before coming here. He could be stuck in traffic too." Jimin tried to cheer others up.

Then Mrs. Min came back and as the door was already open, she heard their conversation.

"I think you guys should inform his father first." She said. The boys were Startled by her first.

"Aunty, we can't. Uncle is very sensitive about him. He will run like a mad person if he finds out about this. We have to do something." Hobi was about to go when the doorbell rang.

Mrs. Min opened the door and it was Jin standing there with a small bag in his hand. Before she could say or ask anything Hobi and Kook ran there and hugged Jin tightly so that the bag almost fell from his hand.

"What are these guys doing here?" Jin asked. No one said anything first. Then Yoongi came to him and asked, "Where were you all this time?" Jin felt a weird feeling looking at Yoongi's gloomy but dark eyes.

"Um... I was... I was with a friend. I'm very sorry, guys!" He answered. But a hand pulled him and forced him to face the person. It was Hobi. Hobi grabbed Jin's shoulders and asked, "Which friend? Why didn't you come here after leaving the house saying that you have to practice more today? Where did you go first?" Jin couldn't read Hobi's expression. He didn't see his bestfriend like this before. He lowered his head and stayed silent.

"Don't ignore me, Jin. Answer my question. We were worried like hell and what the hell were you doing till now? Why was your phone out of reach?" He put more pressure on Jin's soldiers.

Jin felt slight pain on his soldiers but he could not complain. "I'm really sorry, Hobi. My phone's battery was dead. Um... I first went to the supermarket and I met an old friend. We were talking and I got late. Then I brought some snacks for Yoongi and Kook as an apology. Please forgive me."

"What is the name of the friend, Jin?" Hobi was not thinking of letting go of Jin.

"You don't know him, Hobi. He was a friend from my childhood."

"I know all of your friends, Jin. First of all, you didn't have many friends back then. Just tell me his name."

"I said you don't know him. Why are you asking so many questions. I already said that I'm sorry. Why are you not stopping?" Jin understood that he could no longer lie. So he tried to ignore questions.

"You're lying, Jin. I know that...'' Hobi couldn't continue.

"Please, stop, Hobi and Jin! Enough!" Mrs. Min cut them off. Others were listening to everything silently. She sensed the tension and Jin's uneasiness. So she decided to stop that chaos. "Yoongiah, take Jin and Kook and go to practice. You don't have all night to do that. And you guys, if you want you can join them too." She said strictly and ordered Jin to give the bag of the snacks to her. Noone opposed her.

"We're heading back, aunty. Good night!" Hobi said bluntly, eyeing Joon, Tae and Jimin. They nodded and left.

Without asking Jin anything, they started practice. Jin sang his soul out. He filled his parts with pain, which was perfect. Kook also sang his heart out, not shifting his eyes from Jin. Yoongi was shocked by those two.

"I think we can record it this sunday, if you guys are available." He said, not facing Jin.

"I'm free." Kook said and Jin just nodded.

"Okay then come here someday morning. You guys have two days to practice at home. Enough practice for today." Yoongi said, looking at his monitor screen.

"Okay, Jinie. Let's go home together." Kook said, taking his backpack.

"No, I have something to talk about with Jin." Yoongi stood up and went near Jin.

"Okay, then I'll wait for him." Kook sat down again.

"You don't have to wait for him. I'll drop him home. I have something to talk to him about personally. Hope you understand." Yoongi said coldly. Kook just looked at him with questions in his eyes. Then he swiped his head to Jin with worry. But Jin assured him with a smile and nod. Kook humed and bit them goodbye.

After Kook left, Yoongi closed the door. Jin looked at him standing still. Yoongi held Jin's hand and made him sit on the chair near him.

"Jin, I have something important to ask you. You have to answer honestly." Yoongi sat facing Jin, holding both Jin's hands in his.
