*One week later*

*Monday*

*Jungkook's Pov*

"Are we going straight to the other orphanage?"

She asked me as I turned the car to a bumpy road. We have been visiting some orphanages that we can and have been playing and enjoying with kids there. I didn't find anyone who had a history related to any activities I have done which made me happy yet also sad. I want to help someone, at least one of whom I ruined the life of and see how he/she is now.

But this made Y/n happy day by day and that is all I can ask for.

We weren't able to find exactly who lost their families, who lost their children or who lost their siblings but we have been going to any orphanages we can find.

We even went to a lot of elderly homes. Being with the elders, treating them and enjoying old music with them. All the stories they have collected throughout their lives with no one to listen to has finally gotten the ears of us. Their childhood adventures were all said to us in their enthusiastic voice and watching them smile is the happiest feeling.

Me with Y/n and sometimes even the others came with us and everyday we have been busy enjoying with the little lost yet hopeful souls.

I even found a cute grandma girlfriend who kept on dragging me with her and telling everyone that I am her boyfriend. She was so cute. When Y/n tried to take me after our visit was over, the grandma slapped her. I couldn't help but laugh when Y/n laughed too completely unfazed by the threat of the old woman. Y/n assured her that I am the grandma's boyfriend but I have to go to work now. Finally the grandma let my hand go.

We haven't been to that elders' home since that day though. She didn't even mention it afterwards.

"Yea. It is around this area." I answered as we drove the car.

This area is where I killed a whole scheme of houses to find just one person who apparently was hidden inside a barrol. It might have been around 20 people here. I ruthlessly killed every soul that came my way.

After the killing, remembering all the stuff I did here with the blood splatter and screams made me pass out.

I hated my room during those times. That's where I became emotional after being emotionless the whole day.

The roads here are giving me chills as memories start to flood. Scene after scene of the night flashed through my mind. But the memories stopped with a small squeeze of my hand which bought me back to reality. I looked at Y/n to see her looking outside the window, her hands enclosing mine on her lap.

How she knew that I needed her touch is beyond me to know.

Reaching the place that had the board to signal that it is the orphanage, we got out from the car to made our way inside.

"Hello and welcome." A middle ages woman with glasses greeted us kindly.

After the procedures were over where we signed papers to make sure no child would get hurt or anything likewise, we brough in the things we bought for the kids.

A small ceremony was held where we went to the kids and distributed the toys, food and other accessories to the little innocent souls. They even did a small dance and sang songs to show us of their precious talents.

What surprised us was the age range. There was a boy of 16 and a little boy of only 2 years.

Afterwards, everyone was asked to enjoy the time, so me and Y/n decided to play with them.

Y/n was playing with the little girls in their small tea party while I leaned against the tree watching the children run around. They were playing football.

"Hello sir." I turned to look at the 16 year old boy standing next to me.

"Hello. Taemin right?" I asked to which he nodded.

We were silent as we both watched the kids. "Thank you for treating us like this. We really appreciate your generosity."

I smiled dearly at the boy. "The pleasure is all ours." Catching his face filled with emotions as he watched the others, I gently asked. "You really love them don't you?"

He nodded. "They are like my life now. I have been here since I was 6. I got offered chances to go to a family 4 times but I refused each time cause I can't leave them. There's only 13 of us here but they are my family now."

I patted his back. "Love doesn't always have to come from your own family. Sometimes strangers can make you more happy."

"How do you know sir?"

"Please call me Jungkook. I'm not much older than you." I said. "I lost my parents too. Now I live with 6 brothers who mean the world to me."

He smiled. "I lost my parents too. They were killed by a mafia who went in search for some bad guy hiding in our scheme. I was away at my friend's place when it happened so I couldn't save them."

My blood ran cold hearing his words. I was the one who killed his parents?

I am the reason he is here today.

"They said the person who killed the whole area was just a boy. So I was sent to this orphanage immedietly to make sure I won't turn out like that."

Yea, that was me. The boy.

The boy of 14.

"I'm glad you survived." I mumbled feeling the heavy weight in my heart. If he had come home that day, I would have killed him too.

He smiled at me.

"Don't feel sad Jungkook. I am happy now with my brothers and sisters."

I pulled the boy in for a hug feeling the tears filling my eyes. "I'm glad you're happy."

It wasn't him getting the comfort through the hug. It was me.

A group of 3 boys approached us and asked me to play 007 bang game with them. Taemin excused himself and I got engaged with the giggling boys who played the game, pretending that they were actually shooting from a gun. Their little fingers pointing like a gun. I smiled seeing their playfulness.

These 3 boys reminded me of me, Taehyung and Jiminie hyungs as we went on missions while laughing and enjoying. It was like we didn't care anything about anyone other than ourselves.

But these boys are only playing with finger guns while we actually shot people to take their lives.

Quickly brushing the thoughts aside, I started engaging myself in their laughter.

During the game, I got distracted by Y/n. She was sitting on the bench with the 2 year old little boy on her lap. The boy was laughing as Y/n made cute faces and noices at him. Her face was lit up and bursting in tiny giggles of laughter while her eyes were shining, watching the little boy. Her hair has fallen down as she played with the baby, her skin glowing as happiness radiated from her. She looks comfortable playing with the little boy as if he is her own child.

She looks like an angel sent from heaven.

I wanna see her everyday for my entire life smiling and being happy all the time. I want that smile to shine her face all the time. I was a tiny us running around to be held by her, by me.

I want a family that I can call mine. All with her. Y/n.

Every since I got to know about her phobia, I haven't left her side. I took leave from work and stayed with her, making sure she knows that I will forever stay with her no matter what.

Today was the last day of my holiday. I have to go to work after we go home. I hope she will be okay. I will never let her stay alone just by herself. Never.

~~~~~~~

We were on our way home from the orphanage. We both remained quiet as our minds start reminiscing about the memories we made with the youngsters.

"Taemin." Y/n suddenly blurted out getting my attention. "He is from that street, isn't he?"

I sighed. "Yea. How did you know?"

"One of the teacher's there told me about the incident."

I hmmed as we got silent again.

"There was a woman who has seen your face." She said then.

"Who?"

"A teacher at the orphanage. She was going home that night when the killing happened. Her own family was killed but she hid and watched. She has seen who you are."

"Where is she now? Was she there?" I asked. If she had seen me she would have recognized her family's killer. No matter how much years has gone, I still have the same killer's look.

"She was going to report you to the police. But then... she was killed." She mumbled.

"Killed?" I asked again although I heard it clearly. "But I was the only one there. I passed out after I escaped from that place when I reached back to the headquarters. I was the only one assigned for the mission." I said rapidly.

None from the gang even came with me cause they all had individual missions.

"That same night she was killed by someone else that's not you then." She pointed out.

"After I completed the mission? Why? Who else knew that I had the mission? It was a freaking secret mission that needed to kill innocent people. That's why I was sent. Cause others would snitch. I had no one to tell. The person I was suppose to kill has hid all the drugs in the town so I killed them all to get those stupid drugs." I started ranting being exasperated. If I had even saved 1 person that itself is better but who the hell killed her?

"Don't get worked up baby. It might have been someone from the mafia who was just checking your work. Or something. For now, let's forget it. Let's let it go." She said while holding my hand.

"Oh by the way," She started. "I gave Taemin the money you gave me to buy something. Jungkookah, please don't be upset. I can't spend your money like that without feeling guilty."

I smiled at her pure heart. Any other woman would try to steal from me and be with me just because of my money. But she refuses it.

"It's okay baby. When we get married, I'll spoil you like no other. You and our babies. You can't say no anymore cause my money is ours then."

She blushed a cute shade of red. Our entangled hands laid on her lap as we got silent after that, both being lost in our thoughts.

As we reached home, since it's a work day everyone has left for work except for Namjoon hyung who agreed to stay at home to keep Y/n company. Mark was out shopping on his own shopping for some items Julia wanted. Mina and Suga hyung has gone on a date.

"It's lonely without everyone screaming in every corner." She mentioned as we entered to the emptiness.

"That's true. I was dying here waiting for you." Namjoon hyung said while lifting his hands up, his eyes glued to the laptop screen.

"You don't look that lonely though." Y/n said.

"That's because I'm busy but trust me, home without the guys is just a house."

Smiling at him words, I made my way to the room while Y/n sat down on the sofa next to Namjoon hyung who was asking Y/n for help.

After getting dressed in my work attire, I went down leaving my tie hanging around my neck.

She made her way to me as soon as she saw me and got in to adjust my tie. Grabbing her waist in between my hands, I watched her. Her eyes scrunched with concentration, her tongue slipping out as she focused on the task at hand. I love watching her fumble with the tie every time I go to work.

Even though I know perfectly well how to tie it, I wanna see her cute face struggle to get it right.

She sighed with exasperation. "Why is it that I can never get it right in my first try?"

I chuckled. "That's okay baby. I love watching you struggle and being close to you."

She blushed and sheepishly took a glance at me.

"Will you be okay with Namjoon hyung?" I asked while she removed the knot to try again.

"Yea! I will be fine. He's clumsiness would keep my busy. Plus I can use a lesson to tie this freaking stubborn thing." She said with a frown. I couldn't resist her cuteness so I kissed the tip of her nose chuckling softly.

"Call me anytime okay? I am never busy for you. Just call me." I said making sure she knows that she is my number 1 priority.

"I know baby. I won't bother you though so get your work done well and come home soon?" She asked.

I smirked. "Promise."

I watched her eyes light up when she finished the tie and adjusting it neatly, being proud of her handiwork. She then put her arms around me neck and gazed at my eyes.

I'm ready to go to work. I know that I should go soon or I will be late. Yet why is it that my heart is begging to not leave her side?

"Stop staring." She whispered even though she herself was staring back at me.

"I don't want to go."

"It's just a few hours baby."

I pulled her in for a kiss. It was slow and peaceful as we kissed with love. Even after we pulled apart to breath, I didn't let her go.

I don't want to.

But soon, I did.

I shouldn't have.

"Namjoon hyung, take care of her." I said to the older to which he gave me an okay sign.

"Hyung!" I screamed loud.

"What?!"

"Take care of her!"

"I already said okay." He mumbled while nodding.

"Loosen up. I'm at home. Why are you scared all of a sudden?" She asked me then.

"I don't know. But I'll come back soon. Wait for me." 

"I love you." She screamed.

"I love you more."

~~~~~~~

Meeting after meeting. The work I missed the past week is finally getting to me as I have a lot of details to go through and sign.

It was in the evening when I finally resigned to my cabin. The stacks of papers on my table itself gave me a headache.

I miss Y/n. But soon I can go home.

I was going through a folder when I got a call from her.

Ahh finally!

"Hey ba-"

"J-Jungkook."

Her voice sounding breathy and heavy. Her stutter made me sit up alert.

"Y/n. What's wrong?" I asked quickly feeling the dread getting to my nerves.

"Th-there's so-someone h-he-here." She mumbled.

"Where are you baby?" I asked as I hurriedly got my jacket and car keys to go home.

I need to go home.

"Ba-bathroom."

"I'm coming home baby. Stay right where you are. Is the door locked?" Signalling my secretary about my early leave, I made my way. I decided to take the stairs cause I can't lose reception of the call being inside the elevator.

"Y-yes. Jungk-kook, I-m scared."

"I know baby. I will be there soon and you will be safe okay? Safe with me princess. Where is Namjoon hyung?" I got into the car quickly after throwing in my stuff. The call was connected to the car.

"He we-went cause so-somethi- Jungkook footsteps. I can-" Her sound stopped leaving me with no sound at the other end of the line.

"Y/n? Baby?" I called for her. My whole body is panicked and acting on it's own as if on autopilot. My mind all with Y/n yet my body driving to reach home fast.

"He is upstairs." She mumbled then.

"Don't make a sound. Don't let him know where you are. I will be there soon baby."

20 minutes from my office to home. Shit!

"O-kay."

I can't call the hyung too cause none of their work places are closer to home. Damn it!

"I'm right here. You aren't alone baby. I'm right with you. Don't be scared okay?" I kept on saying. The change in her breathing and the way she is constantly stuttering made me be painfully aware of how close she is to an attack.

I can't have her getting lost in a war with herself when she has to fight against whoever that is trying to hurt her.

"Princess, I'm close by to home love. I will come to you."

She hmmed not talking. I knew she is trying to be as silent as she can with the person being just outside.

The footsteps got closer to the point that I can hear them even through her muffled breathing.

I kept on chanting that I'm here with her while speeding up. My mind and body in a complete daze. But my focus set only on her.

The footsteps went away after around 2 minutes that passed agonisingly slow.

"He went. He didn't even try the bathroom. Jungkook. Why didn't he?" She asked rapidly.

"Calm down baby. Don't make a noice." I said although I knew the truth.

He knows she is in the bathroom. He didn't try to open the door because he knew it would be locked.

He knows where my girl is.

I can't reach there in time. The cars were pilling onto the road in the evening office traffic. I still have a long way to go.

But I wanna go home fast. I have to save her. Please. Damn it!

Can I reach home before... before something happens?

I won't be able to.

What the fuck am I gonna do?

Gathering my strength, I began to tell her the truth. I need to warn her.

"Y/n, princess listen to me carefully. Don't panic baby. But take my words clearly." I said and waited until I heard her soft hum. "There's a small box in the corner of the cabinet in the mirror, can you take it  quietly?"

I heard the soft rustle.

"I g-got it."

"Inside that box is a ring. I want you to put it on. It has a tracker."

"Okay."

"Now listen carefully baby. He knows you are there so he will open the door. But remember he won't hurt you. This is Jungsoo. He wouldn't hurt you. But he will take you my princess. I will find you. The ring has a tracker and I will find you my love. I will surely find you. Trust me baby." I said as tears fill my eyes.

I heard her soft sobbing, I heard her heavy breathing and it was driving me crazy. I pulled the car to the side not even seeing where I was driving with my clouded eyes.

"H-he is going t-to take m-me?" She asked, her voice breaking.

"He won't hurt you my love. Can you be a brave girl for me and trust me princess?" I asked. I know I'm asking too much from her but I need the reassurance as much as she does.

I'm witnessing my life being taken away by someone else, what else am I suppose to do?

"Please s-save me. J-Jungk-kook." She mumbled.

"I will. Remember how we promised to never lie. I'm not lying. Trust me Y/n. I need your words."

"I t-trust you."

"I will see you. We can see each other. Let's use that now too okay? Please believe me my baby."

"I do Ju-Jungkook. I believe you."

"That's my girl."

Just then a loud bang echoed through the call followed by her muffled scream.

"I love you Jungkook." She quickly muttered even as the bangs were heard in the backgorund.

"I love you too. I love you so much."

I knew the exact moment the door was opened. I know the exact moment she was held by another man. Her painful scream, her struggling was all heard through the mere phone call.

My body ached to save her. To hold her in my hands.

But then her screaming stopped. 

The phone fallen down with a clatter. Soon a smash echoed through and the call got cut.

All my senses went numb, losing my energy in the silence that followed through.

But I believe her. She will be strong. She will remain strong and safe until I get her. Until she is in my embrace again.

I hope she stays safe until I have her in my arms.

But some say that hope is just a delusion.

No no. It's not. I can't lose hope. That's all I have now.

I screamed. I screamed the pain away. I screamed the emotions away with no care about the world until my throat was hoarse.

Taking deep breaths to collect my shattered pieces realizing that I don't have time to waste.

I dialled the hyungs in a group call.

"What up Kookie?" Jin hyung's voice ran.

"We are summoned for a meeting by the devil himself." V hyung said.

"Hyungs. Y/n. She was kidnapped." I said hurried again starting the car to head home.

"What?"

"Namjoon?"

"I left only like 30 minutes ago!" Namjoon hyung exclaimed.

"Can you all come home now?" I asked impatiently.

I am mad at Namjoon hyung, the person I asked to take care of her knowing very well that Jungsoo had his eye out for her. I am mad and I don't plan to let it go easily as well.

"Yes." They all chorused. I cut the call and quickly drove home.

~~~~~~~

The main door was slammed down making the wood pieces scatter around but other than that everything looked normal.

I made my way to my room. The bathroom door was burst open as well.

Going inside, I found her phone on the floor smashes into pieces. I looked around to check whether the ring might have fallen but there was no sign of it.

My mind started working trying to find something to think yet I was almost emotionless. The mess in which the place was left in and the fact that she isn't here made me see red.

Made me lose my mind.

I heard the voices downstairs. Turning around, I went towards their noice.

Hyungs were all there. Even Namjoon hyung.

I don't know how I got to him but the next thing I know is that I have him pinned against the wall in a firm grip on his collar.

"You were suppose to protect her." My voice sounds dangerous. Venom. Pain. Anger. Sadness. 

Fear.

"I told you twice! You didn't fucking care to do the one thing I asked you to do!" I exclaimed. "I got a call from her during work. She was taken. I listen to her being afraid. I listened to her screaming as they took her. Tell me hyung. Tell me why you thought it was good to leave her fucking alone!?"

Tears filled from my eyes yet my grip tightened. I felt so weak and helpless not knowing what I'm suppose to do. Red is all I saw yet his soft eyes cut through to me.

My grip losened and I let my hands fall but I was pulled in for a hug. 

"I'm sorry Jungkook. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have done that. But I promise you that I will find her. I will do everything in my power to keep her, you and all of us safe."

I sobbed hard letting his strong hold keep me up. He pulled me a slightly back to look at my face. His face although looking tired and sad, his smile gave me hope.

"We will find her."

I smiled back giving a small nod.

When my heart told me to hold on to her, I let her go. Did my heart know she would get in trouble?
