"I hate apple." Taehyung said, peeling off the apple's dress, making the red ball shaped fruit fully naked.

"Nevermind. They're healthy." He added, biting on the apple, chewing the sweet and juicy fruit. He glanced over his digital wallclock.

05:47 pm

He gulped down before gazing down at the knife in his hand. Something special today? Because what a miracle that Jungkook didn't break into his house like always. It's almost a day without the small boy.

The apartment always filled up with Jungkook's squeals whenever the small boy came to his apartment. It's been a whole week since the male shifted into this building and there's no day where Jungkook wouldn't come to his apartment – begging to touch him and shit – and where they always end up with kissing. Nothing else.

Jungkook also come often in his apartment to have breakfast, lunch and dinner. Due to some – i like cute and dumb boys issues – Taehyung couldn't resist the small boy's requests.

Jungkook is a pain in his ass but he still likes his accompany. But, yeah, he's kinda missing as Jungkook didn't come to his apartment today and to express his sadness, he's eating an apple, his least favourite fruit.

Should he go to check on the younger?

Taehyung finished his apple and stood up from the stool of kitchen. It always the small boy who breaks into his house but he never went to Jungkook's apartment. And it won't harm anyone if he go to check on him or – maybe for a teensy tiny kiss – he locked his door behind him.

He politely greeted Mrs.Yan in his way who was going out for her kitty party like as always.

Taehyung reached infront of Jungkook's apartment door, fidgeting with the ring in his finger, thinking whether he should press the calling bell or not. A wave of nervousness reached to his chest when he pressed the bell.

don't embarrass yourself again. Taehyung scolded himself before pressing the calling bell. But he furrowed his eyebrows when Jungkook didn't open the door. maybe he isn't home yet. He thought before turning his heels to leave from there, don't want to create any scene. but it's almost 6 – or maybe he went to his parents.

It's a shame to admit that he was missing the boy so much than he should be. Taehyung cursed at himself when he returned into his apartment.

Beep

He shoved his hand into pocket and without looking at the caller ID, he picked up the call.

"Hello, Mr.Kim. I'm Jung Hoseok, Jungkook's dad, you remember right?  we visited your house." Taehyung heard which caused his furrow to fade away.

"Yea. I remember you," Taehyung said. "If you want to inform that Jungkook isn't home because he's with you then I already know."

"What!?"

Taehyung's mouth went dry. "I-I a-accidentally went to his apartment."

"He didn't come home yet!?"

Taehyung stopped panicking as he thought he get caught red-handed.

"I think no. But what do you mean?" Taehyung asked as he could notice the tensed voice of Mr.Jung and he couldn't help but feel some weird twist in his guts. Mr.Jung explained everything and Taehyung's body tensed up.

"Have you phoned his friends?" Taehyung asked hesitantly as he doesn't want to hear any negative reply.

"We did but he wasn't with them. It's— okay please inform us if you get any information about him."

"Sure." Taehyung gulped down, ending the call. Jungkook doesn't know a thing about this outside world. What if something happens to him? He's probably wandering around here and there or maybe someone – no he shook off his negative thoughts.

Beep!

24°c today

🌧️ heavy rain around 9 pm 🌧️

great! It's almost 6 hours since Jungkook went missing and now the weather is making the situation even more worse.

Taehyung grasped his car keys and locked his door behind him. Although, the younger annoy him all the time but he care for the younger and he doesn't want something happen to him.

"Where's Jungkook?"

"I don't know? Why are you asking?"

"Jackson, stop fucking with us! Jungkook is missing. Neither he went to his own apartment nor he's with his parents. His phone is also switched off."

A cease drew in between Jackson's eyebrows. He slipped further into his couch.

Jackson scoffed. "Didn't he left the campus with you?" Jackson said, gritting his teeth. "Park, can you stop your blaming games? Why did you even think that he was with me in the first place?"

"Oh, aren't he your first love whom you tried to–"

"Shut up!! Just shut up!! It's not the time to discuss past things!! What happened to Jungkook?"

"That's what I'm asking you!" Jimin snapped from the other side.

"If I find that you're behind in missing of Jungkook. I surely will take care that you rot in jail."

"Any update?"

"No, sir. But they've sent policemen to patrol the whole area of his school to the building." A brunette hair man said, their assistant, who pushed up his specs on nose.

"One more thing, the officers found his phone near a bus station but there were no traces about him and also I think paparazzi found the news of Jungkook's missing. For their breaking news, they can also put the company's reputation down."

"What do you mean?? My child is more important than anything else. I-I don't care- I want him back safe!! Hoseok, please do something!" Yoongi exclaimed out of his distress.

"I'm sorry, sir. I d-didn't mean to–"

The brunette got cut off when Hoseok raised his palm to stop him.

"He'll be alright, love. Stop crying." Hoseok caressed Yoongi's back who looked devastated as Jungkook was still missing and they had no idea where he was.

The night sky filled with layers of dark clouds. Streetlight flickers on while the small galaxy eyes stared up at the night.

"Why there's no stars?" He asked himself but paused when he heard a yowling sound.

Jungkook turned his head, darting his eyes upon some bushes which weren't far from him. He quickly stood up from the place that he had been siting for past few minutes, dusting off his bum.

"Oh, kitty." Jungkook's eye wide when he saw a cat's leg got stuck in bushes, the roots encircled around the cat's legs who was yowling in pain.

Jungkook crouched down to help the cat. "Oh, now you're rescued by me!" He picked up the small fluffy ball, cradling the kitty.

"You got injured." Jungkook let out in surprise, eyes widen. He walked back to his place and sits there. He put down the cat and rummaged through his bag, taking out a packet of biscuit and a handkerchief, a snake was printed on it.

"I don't have anything to use as aid rather than this." Jungkook confessed, slightly pouting. He tied the handkerchief around the cat's hurt part. The cat meow-ed, snuggling up to him.

"Cats actually hates me. But I guess you can be my friend."

The cat purred when Jungkook caressed the cat's head. He ripped packet of biscuit, making some crumbs of it and let the kitty to eat the biscuit crumbs from his palm.

"You're really so hungry huh. But sorry I don't have anything beside this." Jungkook apologised petting the cat who finished eating the first biscuit but still continued to licking Jungkook's palm.

"Why are you here all alone?" Jungkook asked genuinely. But he got nothing except for silence. The cat limped while jumping over Jungkook's lap.

Jungkook's stomach growled which caused small fluffy ball to flinched slightly.

"Shut up. We aren't talking to you."

The cat meowed in agreement.

It was complete silence, no source of vehicle or anything. Just an empty road and Jungkook and kitty. A streetlight was hovering over his head, making his surrounding lit up from the darkness.

"You're really so cute." Jungkook cooed when the cat jumped off his lap, wiggling the tail.

"Kitty, don't you have family? They would be worrying about you as you're here with me." The cat got confused as the fluff ball tilts their head, staring up at Jungkook.

"Y'know, I have two dads. They both are the biggest meanie. Um no, my one dad is the biggest meanie and other one is less meanie but still a meanie." Jungkook babbled before taking out two biscuits, one for the cat and other for himself.

"Thwy–" Jungkook munched the biscuit properly and gulped down.

"They left me in unknown place and even blocked my cards, so no shopping or good food. But because of that I was able to meet Taehyung, y'know, we met in a party. He's such a beast–" Jungkook let out dreamingly, sighing in happiness when he remembered the kisses from that night.

He poked the cat's tail. "But I don't know where they all are." The cat stretch their body and sauntered towards the road.

"Hey! Where are you going?" Jungkook stood up and followed the cat who just sat in the middle of road. He giggles when the cat caressed their cheek against his leg, cutely meowing.

One thing that he didn't notice was a car which was coming towards his direction with an uncertain speed.

The cat sauntered to the other side of the road, wiggling the tail. But Jungkook paused and snapped his head towards the sudden light. Doe eyes become wide, lips parted in shock when he saw the car.

He heard the screeching sound of tyres and then everything black.
