Chapter 42

"Okay. I get it. Bye." By that---Minjae cuts the call and lightly shoved his phone inside his pocket.

With a little smile plastered on his face, he started to walk back to where he left Jin a while ago. Hands in his pockets as he hums to some songs as he walk down the crowdy pathway.

The poor brunette must have gotten impatient now just by waiting for too long for him--and so Minjae laughed by the thought of Jin looking so pissed.

He swore. He likes it when his friend is pissed off. Like---he looks like a mad little cutie hamster once he huffs with a total frustration tho.

Minjae loves that sight of Jin getting mad for some unknown---small reasons. Jin huffing, rolling his eyes, yells and glares at anyone when he is mad is the most adorable sight for Minjae. Ever.

And that's what makes him related or somewhat similar to Namjoon. Because they're the only ones who finds Jin still cute even when he is sulking.

And no matter what happens. They will still find Jin cute, over and over again.

Reaching to where he left Jin to answer the call he received---the little smile he was carrying is now gone when he didn't saw his friend there. He can't spot the shopping bags anywhere either.

Where could he be? Minjae thought. Roaming his eyes around the crowdy place, hoping that he will find Jin anytime soon.

He soon walked over the less crowded place on the pathway, as he thought that Jin isn't fond much of a crowded place.

Minjae soon saw a metal bench on the side, after running for some time. And there lied the bunch of shopping bags that has many of stuffs inside them.

But roaming his eyes again---Minjae still didn't spot even any hint of his friend.

Now---he is scared shitless. Their belongings are here, but his friend isn't. He walks back and forth just in front of the bench. Holding his head with his two hands as he thinks of any possibilities.

Like---there was a hold upper, but the stuffs Jin owns is not what he wants---but Jin himself.

Or maybe---it could be a rapist, and he took Jin with him so he could do something nasty with him.

Minjae's mind was already messed up.

Doesn't know what to do anymore, and can't even prevent himself from thinking of negative possibilities that might happen to Jin.

Without even thinking---he get his phone out of his pocket, trying to find that certain person's number on his contacts and much to his luck---he found it.

Tapping the number of that person---he put his phone against his right ear as he waited for the number he dialed to answer his very important call.

"Hello?" and that is it---after numerous of vibrates and rings of his phone. The owner of the number finally answered.

"Namjoon. I need you to come here---" Minjae said in a rush, breaths heavily after saying it in one go.

"Why? Why do you need me there?" Namjoon asks dumbfounded.

"Just do what i say. Jin and i were just from shopping---we were about to go there but then someone called me and so i needed to attend the call." Minjae explains, tho he is in a verge of tears.

"After some time of attending the call. I headed back to where i left Jin---but i just found no one. I am currently standing in front of a metal bench since our things are here---but he isn't" he said.

Since he can't can't prevent his tears from falling anymore---he breaks down. Not minding the weird stares he is receiving from the crowds, he just wants to let all his frustration out at once.

Frustration---because how can he not remember that there's always danger everywhere.

And there he was---he just left Jin alone. Now, he thinks he is the one to blame here.

That It's all his fault for not watching out for Jin.

------------

Namjoon was just sitting on top of their bed, inside their bedroom after he almost snapped at Jin once again.

He still needs to calm himself down so he decided to ran upstairs to leave his husband on the lounge area.

He just needs time to ease his raging heart, that's his reason for locking himself inside the room---and he will again be with Jin to apologize for his behavior.

It's just---for now. He needs some alone time to ease his heart and mind.

So now---he is just sitting on their bed, mind a little mess, thinking how he has gotten impatient and easily can get furious these days.

But little did he know---that what Jin thinks the reason to why he suddenly ran upstairs---was because of Namjoon is mad at him for not allowing him to get some kisses and hugs.

And not because of he needs some time.

Without Namjoon knowing---Jin got out of their house to buy some stuffs for him to apologize afterwards.

After an hour and a half of locking himself inside their room---he suddenly got a call from Minjae, his husband's friend.

He was a little surprised since he rarely gets a call from Minjae since they're not that close, and also---Minjae just calls him if something important happened to Jin.

His heartbeats increases it's pace as he remembers one thing---Minjae only calls when something important/bad happen to Jin. Then it means---

He didn't let his thoughts to get any bigger again as he answered the call and still didn't forget to greet even after all this happenings.

"Namjoon. I need you to come here---" he heard Minjae said on the other line. Namjoon frowns as his heartbeats increases more.

By the tone of his husband's friends' voice, he gets strange chills running through his spine.

"Why? Why do you need me there?" He heard Minjae explaining a lot of things from the other line with a heavy breathing---as if he forgot to breath for some time and was just trying to get his breath back.

Gasping for air. That's not what Namjoon is expecting for Minjae to do after answering the call.

Nevertheless---all this time, he was just listening to Minjae's explanations, his eyes wide and mouth agape as he let him to continue from explaining.

While he was listening to him---he can't even feel his arms, not even his surroundings. Just that he felt numb for a second.

Until he got back to his senses when what Minjae said in the last sentence of his explanation scared him a lot.

"I dunno what to do anymore. He wasn't here. Not even any hints of him getting dragged somewhere. Not even---footsteps" Minjae cried on the other line.

"What? I will go there. Just wait for me!" he shouts in total shock as he harshly got up from the bed and get dressed.

His mind was still a mess---no joke---as he drives on his way to where Minjae was. Please, be okay. He thought as warm tears of anxiousness roll down his cheeks.

If Minjae was thinking that it was his fault to why Jin is missing right now---well, Namjoon too.

But who is there to blame? Who's guilty between them? None of them, right? Because they both are feeling as if they are on Jin's shoes right now---a victim.

Yet---we can't seem to stop them from blaming themselves for this incident either.

They loves Jin that much that they're willing to take all the sacrifices and blames---just to protect him.

I'm sure, if you also love someone. You are willing to take all the risks too.

------------

"Calm down, Joonie. We will find him soon~" Hoseok tried to comfort his best friend, drawing small circles on Namjoon's back---enough to make him feel at ease.

But not totally at ease---not at all. He is still panicking inside that he still don't know where his husband is.

Nor where could he be.

Yet here Hoseok is---hugging him and passing such positive energies from his inner soul to Namjoon.

And he somehow---he managed to make Namjoon calm.

"Hoseok. I can't just sit here and wait for those stupid police to find him---i also need to make a move. I need to find him, by myself" He was about to get up from his bed when Hoseok tighten the hug.

Tears has also begun to block his vision---the same as Namjoon's already puffy one.

"No, Joonie." he tried to convince him but Namjoon tries to wriggle out of his grip, to which he succeeded.

He was about to open his room's door and go out to wander around the city to find his husband---but before he could even step near the doorknob. He was being stop by a tight grip around his torso.

And that's when he knew----that Hoseok is now hugging him again, but this time---from the back.

Yet that's not the main point here---that's not the reason to why he stopped either.

The thing is---he heard him sobbing and crying already. As if he has known Jin for too long now. His grip around his torso began to tighten more than it already is, as well.

"Please c-calm down for a second." Hoseok managed to say between his sobs. "Let the d-detectives and police to find him, w-we don't know if something bad will also h-happen to y-you if you go out there"

"We a-are just worrying a-about your own good. J-just as much as y-you are worrying a-about Jin. But please, l-listen to me just t-this once" He almost pleads.

Because of his uncontrollable sobs and tears, he felt weak. By the overflowing emotion of him right now---he just can't feel his body anymore and just want to lie somewhere.

So---as the energies that left his body has drained from crying too much. His grip around Namjoon's torso loosened as his body is thrown on the ground.

Namjoon---feeling that his best friend's arms aren't around his body anymore, also by hearing a loud thud---look back just to see Hoseok kneeling on the ground.

Still crying. A sobbing mess.

It's very rare to see him crying. Hoseok has always been a positive person---he won't let any negativities ruin his mood and perspectives.

Just as he enjoys life and just as he won't allow negativities to strike at him---expect him to always show his beautiful smile.

But today, is a different day. First, Namjoon lost his control over just by a small matter---a very small matter that he, himself, spread bigger.

Second---Jin went missing after having a shopping date with his friend, Minjae. And both Namjoon and Minjae thinks that it's their fault that Jin is missing today.

Third---Police and detectives still can't find his husband anywhere. It's already late at night, 10PM to be exact, yet they still can't find him

His husband's family---friends as well, decided to visit on the married couple's home after knowing that Jin went missing.

But they aren't that panicked and blooming, unlike Namjoon who panics every seconds passes.

Namjoon is resistant to even take a nap, his friends and his husband's brother has been telling him to take even a sleep only for 1 hour. Yet he doesn't want to.

He doesn't want to sleep without seeing Jin safe and sound. He has been trying to escape his room and just go out to find Jin along with the cops and detectives, but they won't allow him.

So they assigned Hoseok to be with Namjoon for a while until he fell asleep, because they knows that Namjoon will listen to Hoseok---yet sleep seems don't want to strike on Namjoon so he just cried for hours.

He didn't calmed down either even when Hoseok was already with him---hugging him. Confronting him. Cos at times like this--he just wants to be with Jin, he wants Jin to be the one to confront him. To hug him, to calm him down.

And not his best friend that is also a weakling when it comes to such dramatic moments.

And fourth---Namjoon is now feeling guilty, for the second time of the day, for making his precious friend cry because of struggling to stop him from escaping too much.

It's hard to see him cry, it's very unusual to see Hoseok cry. It's very uncomfortable for Namjoon, because just like what I've said. This friend of his rarely gets upset.

And now---he is crying. Namjoon doesn't want to see him crying. He doesn't want anyone related to him crying. Especially his love ones and Jin belongs to those.

He wants to hush Hoseok from crying, but how is he going to do it? He doesn't know how to shush a crying person, he is not good when it comes to that thing.

He don't know what to do anymore. And just go with the flow---letting his body move on it's own because he himself can't decide what to do to make him stop crying.

Without hesitating, he stepped forward. Stepping even closer to Hoseok until he is already kneeling in front of him.

He hesitantly raised his arms in the air as they slowly made their ways around the crying male's shoulder---so now, Namjoon is hugging him. Trying to comfort him by simply patting his back.

Hoseok had also comforted him, always has been. So now, he thinks that why don't he try to send comforts to him too, since he needs it the most now. And that's what he is doing right now.

Hoseok didn't stopped from crying, but still, he at least felt at ease and calmed down a bit. Just like what he did to Namjoon earlier.

Burying his face on Namjoon's crook of the neck, he sobs softly before muttering a soft "thank you"

Namjoon responded by a nod and continued on comforting him. He is too focus on calming his friend down---that he even forgot that he still have to find his missing husband.

His husband who is now struggling with pain, by the tortures he got.
