"Your boyfriend is an ass." Yoongi grumbled licking the chocolate ice cream off the spoon. There are bits of choco chip in the ice cream which Yoongi didn't enjoy much but nevertheless it was better than any plain flavour.

"You just said he's awesome." Taehyung frowned licking mint choco from his fingers.

The two were sitting in Yoongi's car having ice cream as Taehyung explained his entire week to the officer. He of course left a lot of details out of his explanation, mentioning only the key points. Yoongi choked on his saliva when he heard jimin's name and almost had a heart attack when he heard his full name. He muttered something about reincarnation but before Taehyung could dwell more on it he quickly diverted the attention back to Taehyung's week. Taehyung told him about the fight and his mom not approving his sexuality to which Yoongi showed a middle finger. He then told him the happy part where he was accepted the way he is by his father and also what happened today, him being asked by one of his schoolmates to design the costumes for their play; then followed by sad part involving the dinner invite and jungkook's disapproval, their fight and jungkook's almost accident.

"He seems too possessive." Yoongi shrugged digging his wooden spoon into Taehyung's mint choco and scooping a generous amount of the ice cream.

"He's just protective." Taehyung glared at Yoongi. Not because he called jungkook an ass, but because he had his ice cream, without his permission.

"Sounds like a bitch." Yoongi took another bite and this time Taehyung huffed loudly.

"Do that. One more time. And you're dead." Taehyung warned. But honestly, he just looked like an angry puppy to Yoongi.

"I paid for it, so quiet." Yoongi chuckled going for another bite.

"Hyung! You had yours now let me have mine! You already upset me enough!" Taehyung whined kicking his feet like a toddler.

"You're the one who upset me. Now stop throwing a tantrum or else I won't buy you tteokbokki."

"Hyung but- wait. You're buying what?!" Taehyung was about to whine again but stopped when he realised Yoongi was buying another treat for him.

"Are you sure you're a senior in high school?" Yoongi said pulling out of the parking lot. "Finish that ice cream quick."

Taehyung smiled giddily almost gulping the remainder of his ice cream. He asked Yoongi about his week but didn't get more than 'it was hectic' as a reply. Taehyung decided to talk more about his upcoming school festival and what he plans to do with the setting. He was sure that there'll be an art exhibition, so he wanted to submit most of his sketches and maybe a few of his paintings too. Although he was not confident about his paintings that much. Yoongi interrupted the Blondie's monologue when he stopped the car in front of a small restaurant and asked Taehyung to stay in the car while he grabbed them tteokbokki. While waiting he took his phone out of his pocket to check if he got any texts and he did. One from his father, one from jungkook and one from yeonjun.

He checked his father's messages first which just said that they had managed to sign the deal with Busan investors and that he was okay to go for dinner at Park Seulgi's. He congratulated his father and said that he'll inform jimin about his confirmation as well.

He then checked jungkook's message which was a simple goodnight with a red heart emoji. Taehyung blushed and replied with the same red heart emoji.

Before he could open yeonjun's message, the door to the driver's seat was being opened and the delicious aroma of tteokbokki filled the car.

"Thank you so much hyung!" Taehyung squealed taking the cup in his hand and digging into his food immediately. He heard Yoongi chuckling and telling him to eat slowly because it's still hot.

"So, what's the deal with this jinyoung?" Yoongi asked.

"I think I offended him in some way. He likes jaebum you know? And I kind of hurt jaebum.. so he's mad at me for hurting jaebum." Taehyung sipped the sauce that fell on his thumb.

"Look at you, breaking hearts and all." Yoongi teased. Taehyung wanted to shove him but his tteokbokki was more important, so he settled at glaring only. He was about to say something snarky but was cut off by his phone ringing.

"Hey yeon-"

"Taehyung! Call jungkook right now please!" Yeonjun's alarmed voice startled both the males in the car.

"What?! Yeonjun what happened?! Where are you?"

"I'm going over to his house but I doubt I'll find him there." Yeonjun breathed heavily, Taehyung could also hear hurried footsteps as if he was running.

"You will Jun. He's at his house. Can you please tell me-"

"No not jungkook! I'm talking about Soobin! Soobin is not in his house and I need jungkook to call him! Right now!"

"What? Jun what are you-"

"Just fucking call jungkook now!" Yeonjun screamed and hung up. Taehyung was shocked to say the least.

"Kid! Call!" Yoongi shook Taehyung to bring him back to reality. He took the cup of tteokbokki from Taehyung watching him frantically dial his boyfriend's number.

"Hello?"

"Kookie, is Soobin at home?" Taehyung asked soon as jungkook answered.

"Yeah, he's sleeping in his room. Why?" Jungkook  replied, he sounded groggy.

"Can you check on him?" Taehyung requested biting his nails. There was no reply from the other side but there was a bit of shuffling around and door opening. Taehyung assumed that Jungkook had just nodded seeing that he was sleepy and had just woken up. Taehyung checked the time for the first time after a long while and realised it was already past 9pm. 

"What the.." jungkook muttered and Taehyung's heart dropped.

"Jungkook?"

"He's not here. Tae, he is not in his room." Jungkook sounds more awake now.

"Call him. Jungkook call him now. Yeonjun is on his way there and I'm coming too." Taehyung said and hung up. He scrambled around in the car to open the door but Yoongi stopped him.

"Taehyung. I'm a police officer." Yoongi reminded.

"Right. You can help. Hyung, can you please take me jungkook's house?" Yoongi nodded and started the car keeping the tteokbokki in the cupholder.

"What happened?" Yoongi asked.

"I don't know..." Taehyung said placing his phone on his ear, calling yeonjun but he wasn't answering. It was then that Taehyung saw yeonjun's messages from earlier.

From yeonjun, 6:30pm
Hey Tae please tell jungkook to check on Soobin.

6:45pm
Taehyung?

7:15pm
Neither Soobin nor jungkook are answering my call Tae. Please call jungkook and see if he answers you. Please.

7:20pm
Something's wrong with Soobin. Please call jungkook to see if he's okay.. and please inform me too.

"Shit." Taehyung muttered running a hand through his hair and cursing himself for ignoring his messages.

"What? What's wrong?"

"I should've checked my phone earlier." Taehyung scolded himself in his head yet again.

Yoongi tried to console him while Taehyung gave him directions to jungkook's house. Taehyung also told him about a few incidents with Soobin coming home crying and being injured. Yoongi faintly recognised the direction he was driving in; he was driving towards his chief's house. But that couldn't be possible. However his doubt was no longer a doubt when he pulled up to his chief's drive way. Yoongi was perplexed, Taehyung's boyfriend was his police chief's son? How tiny is this world?

As they pulled up to the driveway, they saw four people already standing out of the house. Taehyung got out of the car as soon as it stopped and ran towards his best friend and boyfriend. Yoongi stepped out and immediately bowed to Namjoon.

"Good evening chief." He greeted respectfully, though the evening was not exactly good. Taehyung was surprised but didn't say anything.

"Namjoon, Soobin isn't answering my calls either." Seokjin said worriedly.

"How did you know he wasn't in his house?" Taehyung asked yeonjun suddenly curious about how he knew Soobin is in trouble.

"He called me at around six and told me he wasn't feeling well. He felt low and just needed to talk. After almost fifteen-twenty minutes he just abruptly cut our conversation and said he had to go. He almost sounded scared... And before I could ask anything else he hung up." Yeonjun explained.

"That's why you messaged me.." yeonjun nodded. "And I didn't even check! God I'm such a-"

"Baby, stop it." Jungkook hugged Taehyung. "You had no idea."

"When I tried to call him again he didn't answer and I thought, maybe he just went to sleep..." Yeonjun trailed off running a stressful hand through his hair. He opened his mouth to complete his sentence but was interrupted by Yoongi.

"Sir, maybe.. your son just went for a walk?" Yoongi suggested, in order to calm the tense atmosphere.

"Who goes for a three hour long walk?!" Jin snarled back and Yoongi immediately apologized.

"Babe.. it's okay.. maybe he needed to clear his mind.." Namjoon pulled Seokjin towards him.

"No, he didn't go for a walk." Yeonjun said, eyes filled with worry. "He called me half an hour ago and he said... He was crying and he asked me to come get him. But he.. he didn't say where then told me to forget it and hung up. I tried calling him but again he didn't answer; and he hasn't called after that. Won't even answer my calls..."

Yeonjun gulped the lump in his throat, biting his bottom lip to stop himself from crying. If only he had tried to reach Soobin three hours ago, Soobin wouldn't have left the house. He would've been safe and sound, inside his warm house instead of being stuck somewhere outside in the cold.

"Oh god... My baby..." Seokjin cried. "Joon, what if he's badly hurt? My binnie, my baby."

"Shh Jinnie, he's going to be alright. I'll find him. I promise." Namjoon hugged Seokjin tighter and nodded towards Yoongi. Yoongi got the hint and walked away from the group with his phone in his hand.

"We should look for him around the neighborhood." Taehyung suggested. Yeonjun and Jungkook agreed and the three boys left the driveway in search of Soobin.

Namjoon was trying to calm his husband down who insisted on accompanying Namjoon with his search party. He couldn't sit inside the house waiting for his son. He wanted to be involved in the search as well. No matter how much Namjoon tried to convince him, Seokjin wasn't listening. Even when Namjoon said that Soobin might just walk home anytime, Seokjin didn't agree to stay at home. It made sense but it didn't make sense at the same time. Namjoon finally gave up on convincing Seokjin to stay and just sighed getting ready to leave with his husband. The couple started walking off of their driveway when Yoongi jogged towards Namjoon informing him that Hoseok and Lay are already on the lookout.

"Binnie! Baby where are you?!" Namjoon whirled around when he heard Seokjin scream into his phone.

"Stay there baby we're coming okay? Eomma and Appa are coming to get you. Oh no no baby don't cry, I'm not hanging up... It's okay..." Jin cried as Namjoon urged him to tell him soobin's location.

"He's at the park." Seokjin said.

It didn't take long for Namjoon to start running in the direction of their local park, calling his elder son at the same time. He informed jungkook where Soobin was and hung up quickly. Seokjin ran at full speed worried about his baby shivering in the cold, however he kept whispering sitting words into his phone. They reached the gates of the park and through the light scattered by the street lamps they could see a figure curled up on one of the benches. Namjoon heard footsteps approaching which could mean that the others were here too.

"Binnie!" Seokjin yelled and ran towards his son.

Soobin's head jerked up to see his father running towards him. He stood up, sobbing and opened his arms wanting to be engulfed by his eomma's warmth. Soobin cried loudly when Seokjin hugged him. Jungkook, Taehyung, Yeonjun, Yoongi and another two males stood right behind them watching the scene with mixed emotions. Some shocked, some relieved and some anxious. Namjoon saw a bruise on soobin's cheek and looked at Seokjin wide eyed.

"Baby.. hey binnie, look at me sweetie.. tell me what happened hmm? Let me see if you're okay baby please.." Seokjin tried to pull Soobin away but Soobin wouldn't budge.

"I-I don't know... I don't know.." Soobin cried, shivering into seokjin's chest.

Namjoon and Seokjin shared worried glances while jungkook and Taehyung shared confusion. Yeonjun looked disturbed, itching to say something but he knew it wasn't the right time. He had to wait until they bring him home and everything is calm enough.
