In the middle of searching for the man outside and still not finding him, Namjoon sensed that this had something to do with Joowon.

He drove to his house and knocked on the door.

"Joowon, it's me." Minutes later the man got a response.

"Namjoon, is that you?" His brother answered, but didn't open the door.

"Yes. Will you open the door?" He waited a few minutes more before knocking again.

"I'm sorry, I can't come to the door now." A strange voice of a woman echoed outside of the door.

"I'm kind of busy at the moment..." Joowon replied. Namjoon knew what his brother meant by "busy". Defeated without evidence that Seokjin was there, the man turned away.

"I said I was busy." When Namjoon was about to get back inside of his car, Joowon continued to talk.

"I know, that's why I'm leaving." Namjoon spoke back.

"Seokjin? I don't know anything about him, what are you talking about?" Namjoon pressed his ear against the door, something wasn't right.

"I didn't say anything about Seokjin." He continued to listen closely.

"It's not my fault you don't know where he is. I'm going to sleep now, bye, Joon. And good luck on finding him." Namjoon twisted the doorknob.

As he expected: The door was locked. Before going crazy, the doctor had one last option left to prove Joowon wasn't lying to him.

"Joowon, the police is outside! They're looking for you!" Silence. Joowon no longer replied.

"I knew it. He made a fake recording." Namjoon ran back to his car.

"He took him. Joowon doesn't know who he's messing with. If he attempts to do something to Seokjin, I'll confront him even if he is my own blood."

~~~

Seokjin saw the sun was slowly setting down in the reflection of the mirrors. Because he
can't withstand the burning sunlight on his sensitive skin for many hours, the vampire asked Joowon to give him his jacket for him to cover his face and body with it, which the man refused to lend him, claiming that he could hold on just a few more hours.

He didn't ask him for anything else after that. In fact, the man didn't say a word to Joowon just to avoid annoying him.

"Where are we going, s- Joowon?" Seokjin was about to call Joowon "Sir" like he used to, but he decided to stop calling him that nickname ever since Namjoon became jealous of it.

"I'm going to get you what ever your heart desires, my dear." Seokjin followed behind Joowon, ducking down for a split second when the guy threw his hand over his shoulders
then he kept walking around with him.

The plaza they were in was stunning: It had various stores with expensive items, including designer clothes, entertainment stores, book stores, a food court, and a very beautiful architecture.

Seokjin was mesmerized by the interior design of the plaza. There was a lot of echo in that place, noises were flowing every which way throughout the plaza, causing the man discomfort in his ears. Not to mention the loud conversations people were having.

"Care for a free sample?" Every two minutes a sales person would promote their products
and ask the men if they wanted to try it.

"No, thank you." Joowon answered for Seokjin every time, just to keep him from talking.

They kept on walking around the plaza. Namjoon was on Seokjin's mind, he knew that the doctor must be worried about him.

"May I use your phone? I didn't tell Dr. Kim that I was leaving with you and I don't want him to worry about me." The man asked.

"What happened to the phone I gave you, cutie?" Joowon raised his eyebrows.

"Namjoon broke it." They entered a store.

"I'm not giving you my phone for you to call him, I'm sorry. You may call anybody else, but don't even bother taking to my brother." Joowon rolled his eyes.

Seokjin nodded.

"Is there anything you want from here?"

~~~

"Seokjin, where could you be now..." Namjoon was spinning in circles. There were so many places the man could be and who he could be with that Namjoon was running out of options, and gasoline.

He stopped at by a gasoline station to fill up the car's tank. When he got inside of the convenience store to pay for the gas, he found his cousin was also there and greeted her.

"Haha, it's funny, your friend was here as well."

"What friend?" Namjoon said.

"Your roommate, of course. He entered the store alone." He knew that she was talking about Seokjin.

"Did you see who he was with?" She nodded.

"Yeah! That's the funny thing about it, your roommate was with Joowon. He looked so awkward, standing alone next to me." She explained.

"Did you see which way they went afterwards?" Namjoon grabbed his car keys.

"They went that way," His cousin pointed towards a very long bridge. "If I'm not mistaken they were headed to that really fancy plaza. Your brother likes to charm people all of the time." She giggled.

"Thanks for telling me." Namjoon paid for the gas and left with more anticipation of finding Seokjin. Now that his search was over, the doctor could focus on where Joowon and Seokjin could be around in the plaza.

It wasn't going to be an easy thing to do, there were too many business establishments they could be in.

He saw well over one hundred people scattered around and not a single one of them looked like the two male figures he was searching for.

"Almost everything is on sale. There's no way I'll be able to get through everybody here, I'll try going this way."

The first place he checked was the food court, hoping that his brother didn't try to feed the vampire because he could easily drug him that way by making him feel drowsy.

Out of a possible twenty to thirty people he laid his eyes upon, Namjoon didn't find the man and his brother in the food court.

The next place he checked was around the stores. He knows very well which stores Joowon usually visits: All of the most popular clothing stores with expensive brands.

He saw a shoe store which was always packed with people, especially since they have the best brands for cheap prices. He went inside and was greeted by a tall guy who was trying to promote the bestselling sport's shoes. Namjoon politely avoided him to start his search.

Nothing.

Just when Namjoon was about to head out to search for them in the parking lot, he spotted Seokjin outside of a store called CyberGoth, shyly smiling and laughing with Joowon by his side. They were holding lots of bags in their hands.

Namjoon appeared next to them minutes after he was able to spot Seokjin. The vampire stared at Namjoon, then looked at the other man beside him.

"Seokjin, go wait for me in the car, okay?" Joowon said.

"Stay in mine, and lock the doors." Namjoon spoke, handing Seokjin his car keys.

The man didn't know who to obey, if Joowon or Namjoon. He loved both of them, but in different ways; He saw Namjoon as a lover and Joowon as a friend with benefits since he was so charming, just like Namjoon.

Seokjin walked away from both of them, still holding the bags in his hands. Namjoon and Joowon stayed talking, but slowly began to follow Seokjin in between their conversation.

"I didn't give Seokjin permission to leave the house, why did he agree to come with you here?" Seokjin was hearing what Namjoon was saying, even though he was a little far from both of them.

"Because he's a grown ass man who doesn't need the authority of a jealous little kid like you to have fun." Seokjin seemed to agree with Joowon. He wasn't a child who needed to be protected 24/7 by another adult.

"Namjoon, you keep him locked up in your house to use him to your advantage." Namjoon crossed his arms, hearing the last sentence from Joowon.

"Hold on one minute, what exactly do you mean by "Advantage", Joowon?" Namjoon questioned.

Seokjin stood behind both of them, nearing towards Namjoon since he was beginning to trust him more than Joowon.

"You work a fulltime job. And after a long, long day at work, you come home to your sweet little blood-sucker to do shenanigans with him." Namjoon tilted his head.

"Shenanigans? Advantage? Quit that nonsense, brother. Tell me straight away what you need to say." Namjoon looked over at Seokjin who was still behind him. He couldn't tell if the man was embarrassed or anxious, but he needed to work things out with his brother first before taking him back home.

His brother grinned.

"As you wish. Seokjin, come forward so you can hear this as well." Joowon demanded.

The vampire moved to the center of both men to not cause anymore conflictions between the two.

"Namjoon, you don't want this man because you love him, you want him because you needed a sex slave." Namjoon was in shock by Joowon's words, but what left him completely speechless wasn't just what his brother said, it was something even more unexpected that happened the minute Joowon opened his mouth.

Seokjin had swung his fist, knocking the guy flat onto the floor.

"Never disrespect Dr. Kim."
