Jimin opened his eyes tiredly. Daylight was cracking through the open windows. Taehyung was still asleep. He didn't want to wake him so he stood up slowly and walked over to his bed side drawer where he kept his phone. He scrolled through several heartfelt and encouraging messages sent from friends and family. His parents also sent him a message informing him that they would be arriving to see him the next day.

He felt slightly better reading these messages but there was no real contentment. He planned to call the detective in charge of the case and find out the progress he was making. He was just about to return the phone to the drawer when he noticed a strange number in his inbox. The number was an unknown one and he was starting to feel nervous just by looking at it.

His nervousness overtook him making him click on the number. That was when he saw it. His eyes nearly popped from their sockets. Those dull lifeless eyes immediately had light in them. He jumped frantically.

"Tae! Tae! Wake up! Wake up!"

His shout definitely woke the other up. Taehyung dully opened his eyes.

"What happened?"

Then he puckered up suddenly looking frightened.

"Did something happen to Mintae?"

Tears where flowing down Jimin's eyes. "No, it's Mintae. He...he just sent us a message!"

"What?" Taehyung shouted. He flew away from the bed with vigorous energy and rushed towards Jimin who was still gazing at the screen in a daze.

"Let me see" he said. Jimin handed the phone over to him. Taehyung stared at the screen wordlessly. Soon his fist clenched tightly.

"That woman...."

Jimin gathered his breath trying to remain calm even though he was inwardly terrified.

"The only thing we should be worried about is getting this information to the police"

Taehyung agreed with him. With their hearts full of hope, they tidied up. When they told Ahjumma Doo min about Mintae's message, the woman who had aged more in twenty four hours suddenly became brighter. The three of them left the mansion. Jimin drove the car since Taehyung wasn't really in good shape. On their way to the police station, they received some calls. Jin also called to administer treatment to Taehyung but he was told of what happened so he decided to meet them at the police station. Jimin also told the others of the latest development so when they arrived at the police station, there where quite a handful of people already waiting for them. Hoseok, Yoongi and Namjoon.

They all looked perplexed as they sorrounded them asking them questions trying to confirm what they just heard but Jimin had no time to explain. He simply rushed towards the office space of the detective in charge of the case. The man was neck deep in some documents while at the same time instructing some junior police officers.

"Detective Chan!" He yelled

The man abruptly looked up and upon recognizing him, his eyes dimmed. He rubbed them slowly. He looked tired.

"Mr Park, I have still being unable to trace the suspect's whereabouts. I have been on this case dutifully. I'm sure you got my message...."

He was going to speak some more but Jimin cut him short.

"Our son sent a message!"

The man seemed surprised. Jimin held out the phone to him.

"See for yourself!"

Detective Chan took the phone. His eyes furrowed as he read the message. He bit his lips hard.

"This could be a trap. How could your son have sent this if he was kidnapped?"

No one could say anything about that. It did seem odd. They couldn't imagine that Kim Cha ha would be so nice as to let Mintae use a phone to contact them unless the boy had really acquired one secretly as the message read.

Jimin groaned. "Let's take the chance detective. There must be something you can do with this information!"

Detective Chan nodded his head. "Actually, there is. Apparently, your son doesn't know the address of the place where he's been held but at least, he was able to describe the house"

Taehyung who was quiet all these while narrowed his eyes.

"So, what are you saying?"

Detective Chan went on "We'll have to take a look at all of the suspect's properties which might match the one described by your son"

He stared at Taehyung. "Do you know of any landed property that your step mother might have that could match?"

Taehyung sighed. "That woman has several properties known and unknown"

The detective nodded his head. He looked like he was calculating something. His eyes sparkled.

"Then we'll have to seize every property document related to Kim Cha ha and do a full investigation. We should be able to find something. I will immediately issue a search warrant"

He smiled warmly. "Don't worry. You'll get your son back"

"Thank you Detective" Jimin said lightly

With his face shining, the detective left them shouting orders at the top of his voice to his team members.

Everyone eventually heaved a sigh of relief. Jimin finally slumped on the chair in front of Detective Chan's table as though he was truly exhausted. One by one, everyone came to offer words of encouragement. Yoongi stood in front of Jimin with sad eyes.

"I can understand what you are going through. I practically also raised that kid. I'm sure he'll be back and that bitch will get what's coming"

Even though things still seemed awkward between them, Jimin was glad Yoongi was here. He hadn't let their past harden his heart so much against him. He smiled genuinely.

"Thank you" He whispered. Yoongi barely nodded his head. He looked at Taehyung, gave him a reassuring smile and went to lean against the wall folding his arms over his chest and staring at Hoseok with hawk eyes.

The latter noticed but ignored the look and moved closer to Jimin hugging him tightly. Namjoon came forward smiling painfully

"Jiminah....I'm so sorry...."

He was still speaking but his words hung in his throat as a slender figure entered the police station and headed straight towards Taehyung. That figure was none other than his boyfriend Jin but the other didn't seem to notice him as he approached Taehyung.

Yoongi's eyes widened as he too landed his vision on Jin. Jin who was totally unaware of the familiar eyes watching him finally reached Taehyung and whispered into his ear. While he was whispering into his ear, Namjoon finally spoke.

"Babe?"

Jin was oblivious to the situation at hand. He continued to whisper into Taehyung's ears. The air suddenly grew tense around Jimin. He didn't know what was going on but honestly, he couldn't care less.

Namjoon scoffed harshly as he placed both his hands on his waist.

"Kim Seokjin"

Jin was finally aware of his environment. He lifted his eyes and looked towards Namjoon's direction. As soon as his eyes landed on him, he froze

Namjoon's lips twisted into a sarcastic smile.

"Wow babe, I thought you said you didn't know Jimin or Taehyung"

Jin's lips quivered. He suddenly smiled uneasily.

"I can explain...."

Namjoon frowned. "Please do"

Jin smiled awkwardly as he left Taehyung's side and headed towards his boyfriend.

"Let's talk outside" he said grabbing his hand. Namjoon said nothing. He just simply allowed Jin drag him outside the police station. As soon as they found a corner to talk, Namjoon raised his voice but Jin instantly apologized.

"I was trying to help my friend. If I had revealed my relationship with Jimin and Taehyung, Yoongi would have been guarded against me"

Namjoon had no counter argument. He just sighed. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I wanted to but you know how busy I am. It completely slipped my mind"

He pouted cutely. "I'm sorry baby. I promise I won't keep things from you like this again"

It wasn't long before Namjoon was smiling. It wasn't that big of a deal anyway. He enveloped Jin in his arms and kissed him soundly. Once they where back to the station, they where all smiles but they separated since Jin had to treat Taehyung giving him a medical shot. Namjoon whispered to Yoongi telling him about what happened. His friend just sighed after hearing everything. There was nothing he could do about anything now.

Detective Chan and his men went into action immediately. With a search warrant, they were able to conduct a rigorous search at the company targeting Cha ha's office. They gathered every document they could find. There was a hidden safe located underneath her office desk. The safe was fixed against the wall. A safe engineer was invited to unlock the combinations of the safe. It took a total of two hours before it was finally opened. They found all sorts of things inside. Guns, ammunition, money and lots of documents. All of these where gathered and stored away as evidence. Cha ha's personal secretary and receptionist where detained in holding cells. In fact, everyone who was close with the woman in the company was detained for questioning.

Next, they headed to Kim Cha ha's house. They had to temporarily detain every worker working in the mansion for questioning just in case they where in cohorts with their boss. While some officers where questioning the workers, detective Chan was upturning the entire mansion. In her bedroom, they found the exact replica of the safe they discovered at her office. Upon unlocking it, it was exactly the same contents as the other one. They gathered everything up and met up with the other officers.

The workers denied knowing anything about the kidnapping but they all acknowledged the fact that Kim Cha Ha and her step son had a very terrible relationship. Detective Chan wasn't about to take any chances just in case one of them informed Kim Cha ha about their progress. He didn't know how their relationship with her was so he had to arrest everyone of them. Of course, they all resisted but the detective assured them that they would be released as soon as the investigations where over. Finally, they where all locked up in holding cells when they returned to the station.

Detective Chan went straight to business leaving no stones unturned. He and the other officers spent the entire night on the documents they had retrieved from Kim Cha ha's mansion and office.

It was two in the morning when Jimin's phone rang. He hadn't been able to sleep through out. Even Taehyung who took some sleeping pills was still awake. They where in the living room sorrounded by silence and fear. As Jimin picked up the phone, he heard the hoarse voice of detective Chan.

"We have a match"
