The following day, as early as possible, Jimin went ahead of everyone to prepare for the fashion show. In the evening, the others where all ready and they headed for the event. As usual, Taehyung's shoes where used for the event so it wasn't going to be surprising to see him there. What would be surprising would be seeing him with a cute little boy.

As soon as they entered the company, all eyes turned to them. Yuna, Jimin's secretary walked up to welcome them with a broad smile on her face.

"Welcome Mr Kim. Mr Park instructed me to take you all to the office" she said

"No! I want to see Appa"

Yuna paused looking alarmed. "Excuse me, did you just say Appa?"

Taehyung, Jungkook and Doo min went red in the face. Taehyung coughed in discomfort as he forced a smile on his face

"Um...it's nothing..." He muttered but Yuna wasn't buying it as she watched the boy point to a poster of Jimin on the wall.

"Him! He's my father! I want to see him"

Yuna looked confused and flustered. Taehyung had no idea what excuse to give but then Hoseok appeared distracting Yuna's attention.

"You guys are here. Shall we?" He said in a loud cheerful voice as he walked up to them.

"Uncle Hobi, can you take me to Appa?"

Yuna's eyes widened.

Hoseok hid a smile. "Let me take you to him" he whispered and grabbed Mintae's hand. He walked quickly leading them away from Yuna's scrutinizing gaze.

"It seems like you've been found out!" Hoseok said as they walked on.

"What?"

"Yuna is this company's gossip. Soon the rumors will spread around about Jimin's secret child"

Taehyung sighed. "Does Jimin know she's a blabber mouth"

Hoseok sighed tiredly. "He does!"

"Why doesn't he just fire her?"

"Because she's very good at her job" He heaved. "Besides, it's about time that the truth came out about Mintae"

Taehyung said nothing. Hoseok kept on walking, till they reached another part of the building. Taehyung had been here before when he came to witness Jimin's last fashion show which he had both destroyed and salvaged. Thinking of that time made him realize how much of a jerk he had been to Jimin. Little wonder why he still didn't like him.

Hoseok finally stopped at the huge hall and pointed at Jimin. He was standing on stage talking to the models and organizers of the event. The way he moved around held so much grace and power that time suddenly stood still for Taehyung as he admired the smaller man. A small smile unknowingly played on his lips when he watched Jimin start to strutt down the run way. He was instructing the models on how he wanted them to walk. Taehyung was still standing there watching as Mintae suddenly ran towards Jimin and hugged him tightly. The man smiled back at him, his eyes disappearing as he gathered him in his arms. Taehyung just wanted to look at the other like this forever without any interruption but then Jimin looked towards his direction and as soon as their eyes locked, that smile that had been on his face vanished and turned blank. Taehyung's heart sank.

He slowly walked over to the others who where now gathered around Jimin.

"You guys came. The show will begin in thirty minutes time so you can wait at my office" Jimin said. He didn't even spare Taehyung a glance as he spoke.

"Okay then. Mintae just wanted to see you. By the way, I think the whole company will have already known that Mintae's your son" Hoseok said.

Jimin didn't even flinch. "It's about time. Maybe I'll even hold a press conference later"

He laughed nervously and looked at Taehyung for a second before pulling his eyes away.

"I still have some things to do so just make yourselves comfortable"

Taehyung wanted to say something but Jimin had already turned away and walked back to the models. Hoseok escorted them to Jimin's office where they all rested. Yuna served them some snacks and drinks while looking at Mintae with suspicion. It was like she couldn't hold it in any longer, she scratched her hair nervously.

"I'm sorry. I know it's not my place. I don't mean to pry but I haven't been able to get it out of my mind" She whispered, directing her gaze towards Taehyung.

"Is he really my boss' kid?"

Taehyung nodded his head and Yuna nearly collapsed, stumbling on her feet.

"OMG! I can't believe this. I have worked for Mr Park for over three years. I had no idea he had a child as big as this or that he even had at all"

She paused. "Did he adopt him?"

Heavy silence filled the room. She looked at the faces of everyone and it finally dawned on her.

"So, the rumors where all true. I can't believe it" she muttered. She had lost all the color on her face as her eyes slowly wandered  towards Taehyung.

"There are rumors that you and my boss are lovers. Are you also Mintae's Dad..."

"Hey, miss secretary" Doo min yelled, her face squeezing in repulsion. "Why don't you mind your business? Do they also pay you to stick your nose in your bosses affairs?"

Yuna jumped, her face filled with embarrassment. "I'm sorry. I was just so curious. Please don't tell my boss"

Doo min hissed. "You deserve to be fired" she spat.

"I'm so sorry. I promise not to tell another soul what I just discovered" She said before leaving the office . Of course, nobody believed her because Hoseok already told them she was a blabber mouth.

An hour passed and the fashion show started but Jimin was suddenly nowhere to be found. Panic fell on everyone. The guests and spectators had already arrived. Other fashion designers and reporters had all gathered but the host had suddenly disappeared. Hoseok told Taehyung and he was instantly worried.

"Have they searched everywhere for him?"

"Yes but he doesn't seem to be in the company. Worst of all he's not even picking his calls"

Taehyung tried to relax but his nerves where failing him and it showed in his countenance. Mintae noticed the tense atmosphere and began to ask questions but Taehyung couldn't answer him. He was trying to think. Jimin was missing on the day he was hosting a fashion show. A lot of people knew about it because it had been publicized in the media. Taehyung was starting to suspect that this wasn't a coincidence. Just as he was thinking, his cell phone rang. He picked up immediately and the person on the other line spoke in a heavily disguised voice that sounded like a man

"Tae Tae, seems you have it easy these days" the voice said sarcastically

"Who are you?" He yelled.

"I think you know who I am"

Taehyung became silent as his chest rose and fell heavily. He was slowly trying to maintain his calm but he felt himself loosing his grip.

"What do you want? What did you do to Jimin?"

The person chuckled. "Your trans bitch is fine but not for long. You just have to find him before this place blows up"

Taehyung perked up. "What the hell are you saying?

The person laughed but Taehyung had no patience to listen to the irritating voice on the other line.

"Stop laughing you crazy witch. Tell me where he is right now!"

"Calm down. He's at the center of the building...all you have to do is find him within twenty minutes or that place goes totally boom"

Taehyung ran his hand over his head in frustration as tears almost spilled down his eyes. He tried hard to hold it but it spilled down his chin.

"Please he doesn't deserve this. Just let him go. I beg you"

"Twenty minutes Taehyung. That's all you get" The voice coldly blurted out.

The line went dead and Taehyung noticed all the gazes directed at him.

"What happened?" Hoseok asked

"Jimin has been kidnapped!" He answered. Doo min wailed in a loud voice.

"Kidnapped? Who will want to kidnap him?" Hoseok asked looking so confused. Taehyung bit his lips hard.

"It's my fault. I'm the target. Jimin is only a pawn used to get to me!" He said in a low voice.

"What?" Hoseok cried. "What did you do? Why is Jimin involved?"

Taehyung just gathered his breath. He already looked older in just a few minutes.

"Listen, I will take care of it. I was told that he's in the center. Do you know of such a place?"

Hoseok looked thoughtful. After a while, his eyes lit up. "It's under ground. There's a cellar beneath this building but no body ever goes there"

"I think Jimin is there along with a bomb!"

They all gasped.

"If we don't get him within twenty minutes, Jimin is going to die and we all as well"

Mintae's lips trembled. "Where is Appa?" He stuttered as his eyes welled with tears.

Taehyung instantly regretted saying anything in front of the boy so he knelt down in front of him and grabbed his arms.

"He'll be fine. I'll bring him back safe and sound"

Mintae sniffed. "Promise?"

"I promise" Taehyung said. His heart was pounding within his chest. He wasn't sure if he would even find Jimin on time but he had to reassure the child.

Taehyung instructed Jungkook to take Mintae and protect him just in case he becomes the next target. Jungkook wanted to come with him because of his condition but Taehyung insisted. Hoseok also wanted to follow him to the under ground cellar but Taehyung refused. He didn't want to get anyone in anymore danger because of him. Instead, he told him and Doo min to ensure that they get everyone out of the building. When they had all left, Taehyung went to find the cellar per Hoseok's direction.

*********

Meanwhile, Jimin woke up with a  splitting headache. His eyes where dizzy but after a while, his vision cleared and adjusted to the rather dark room he found himself in. He sniffed the air. He could percieve the strong smell of fuel. His heart pounded in his chest as he looked down at his tied hands and legs.

This was a dream. No, a nightmare. He couldn't understand what was going on. His mind was in shambles as he tried to rearrange his thoughts and think of anyone who might have wanted to harm him but no body came to mind. The last thing he remembered, he was coming out of the changing room when someone held him by his throat and pressed a handkerchief over his nose. He breathed in a weird substance and fainted. Now here he was.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching him. He looked up and saw a tall huge man with a dragon tattoo on his arm, hiding his face under a face cap stood in front of him. This must be his kidnapper. Jimin shook with fear. He couldn't help feeling he had met this person before. That tattoo looked quite familiar.

"Is it money you want? I'll pay you anything. Please just let me go" he pleaded.

The man simply laughed and pulled off the cap from his head. Jimin's eyes widened in utter disbelief as he recognized him.

"It's you. You're the man from the beach. The man Taehyung had beaten up" he said quivering in fear.

The man grinned. "Glad you recognize me Mr Park"

Jimin struggled to remain calm. "Why are you doing this? For revenge?"

The man scoffed. "Revenge? I don't care about that. Someone really powerful is paying me a lot of money to get rid of you and Taehyung. I'm just doing my job. Nothing personal"

Jimin was even more confused. "Who sent you?"

"You don't want to know" The man looked at his wrist watch.
"He only has twenty minutes to get here. If he doesn't get here on time, see that...."

He pointed to the ticking bomb on the ground just a few meters from where Jimin was.

"I'm going to press that and everything here goes boom including you"

Jimin began to choke. "Why? Why are you doing this? Have you being threatening Taehyung's life all these while? Is that why he got mad when he saw you that day on the beach"

"What do you think" The man said and smirked. Jimin grimaced as the stranger walked closer to him bending down to stroke his cheeks.

"Such a shame. Someone as incredibly handsome as you will soon become nothing more than ashes"

Jimin wanted to vomit. He felt so disgusted by this asshole.

"Go to hell you bastard!" He said through clenched teeth.

The man stepped back eyeing him critically as he frowned.

"Who cares about someone who's about to die anyway. I doubt your boyfriend will be able to find you. Just consider yourself dead already"

Jimin gulped as he stared into the man's icy eyes. He turned around and left the room. As soon as he was gone, Jimin started to struggle but all his efforts where useless. There was no way he could free himself.

He started to cry as flashes of the past and all the people close to him began to pass through his mind. Ahjumma Doo min Hobi, his closest and dearest friend, Mintae his son whom he had put through so much, hiding him from the entire world.  But now that things where getting better, how could he bear to leave him like this? He wanted to meet Yoongi and apologize to him. He didn't deserve the betrayal he experienced from him. They had been together for so long but still, it wasn't enough to make him love him. Taehyung....what could he possibly say to him? That he forgives him for lying to him and that still, he has feelings for him? How could he say that when he doesn't even know how Taehyung really feels.

He cried so much but stopped when he heard a noise outside the door. He looked at the timer on the bomb. Ten minutes remaining. Suddenly, he heard Taehyung's voice outside the door shouting his name.

"Jimin! Jimin are you there?"

Jimin had never felt as relieved as he did at that moment.

"Tae... Taehyung. I'm here. I'm in here!" He shouted as loudly as he could.

The door finally bursted open and Taehyung ran inside. Jimin burst into tears of joy as soon as he saw him. Taehyung came to his side cradling his head in his arms.

"It's okay... Jimin I'm here"

Taehyung's whole body shook and Jimin could sense he had been so worried. His heart skipped a bit but now wasn't the time to think about that. Their lives where at risk.

"Tae...we have to leave. This place is going to blow up any second"

Taehyung recovered himself and started loosening the ropes on his hands and legs. When he was done, there was less than five minutes remaining. Taehyung grabbed Jimin's hand and they headed towards the door but froze as the man with the dragon tattoo appeared in front of them.

"Where do you think you guys are going to?"

Taehyung gulped holding Jimin's hand tightly in his own.

"Listen man.... Don't do this now. I came as you wanted so stop the bomb"

"This was the plan all along Taehyung. I'm not stopping the bomb. You're going to die here. I plan to kill the both of you and get the hell out of here as soon as possible"

"That isn't possible. This building is going to blow up any second You're also at risk of dying"

"It's better to die in here than to face that witch up there" The man said. "So you see, I can't let you leave here alive"

He suddenly fished out a pocket knife from the back of his jeans and pointed it at Taehyung. Taehyung pushed Jimin aside and faced the man squarely. The other let out a brutish laughter and lunged at him with the knife. Taehyung dodged but he got cut on the arm.

The man lurched at him again but this time, he grabbed the hand tightly and kicked him straight in his lower region causing the other to groan in pain. Seeing that the man was weakened, Taehyung grabbed the knife from his hand and sliced him also on his arm. The man shouted as blood spilled. His face turned red.

Jimin looked at the timer on the bomb. Three minutes left.

"Get out now!" Taehyung shouted at Jimin

"I can't leave you here!" Jimin screamed back.

Seeing that Taehyung was distracted, the man landed a heavy blow right on Taehyung's gut. Blood splurged out from his lips. He stumbled back wards.

"Taehyung!" Jimin screamed. He wanted to do something but he couldn't.

"Stop fighting him!" He shouted again.

"He's not going to let us go. One of us has to be alive for Mintae"

The man was now holding Taehyung by the neck strangling him but yet Taehyung was looking straight at Jimin as he struggled against the other man.

"Jimin...I'm sorry!" He suddenly choked out.

Tears poured down the other's eyes as he wasn't expecting him to say such a thing at this time.

"I've always regretted the day I left you.....I regretted lying to you..."

As the man strangled him, blood spilled down his mouth but he continued speaking.

"You where the best thing that ever happened to me. Do you remember when we said we would get married on the beach? I've always wanted that. I never forgot...."

"I just hope you will forgive me for causing you so much pain all these years and even right till this moment"

Jimin shook his head. "It doesn't matter Taehyung....I..."

"Go!" The latter suddenly shouted. With the last strength he could muster, he hit the other man with the back of his head then ran towards Jimin and pushed him out the front door.

"Don't look back Jimin, Run!" Taehyung shouted with pain in his eyes as he turned to fight with the stranger. The last thing Jimin saw was Taehyung's back as he fought with the kidnapper exchanging weak blows.

The only thing Jimin could do at that moment was run so he ran as fast as he could, tears streaming down his face. He could see the light at the end of the cellar leading to the outside of the building. He finally reached outside but then he heard a loud boom. His ears shattered and he watched in horror as the building crumbled.

We are finally here. Thanks for reading guys.
